  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show, now nine till noon weekdays. Much
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: more Mark on 710WOR. Hi, another hour? Actually, another two
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: hours to go. Three hours every day, nine to noon
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: every day. So, I remember yesterday I was telling you
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: about Politico. It's this big political website, Politico. It's got
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the reputation of this is the real Washington insider, real
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: political news and political information, very revered Politico. It's actually
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: a very biased, slanted, very left-wing site. And you can't
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: believe anything. I mean, you can't believe everything they say.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: So it was Politico that started the whole thing about
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Susie Wiles, White House chief of staff. is out. Trump
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: is going to fire her. It's going to happen any
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: day now. And everybody ran with it because it's the
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: very prestigious Politico that reporting this, that Susie Wiles is out.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: It's hard to believe she'd been with him for so
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: many years, such a trusted right hand. Can't believe, but Politico,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you have to, you have to, it's in Politico. You
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: have to, Politico is the most biased Trump hating site. Anyway,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the story was false. And as I told you yesterday,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the Trump White House counsel contacted Politico and told them
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: that Trump demanded an apology. They admit the story was wrong.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: He wanted a correction within 48 hours or there would
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: be consequences for Politico. I guess meaning that they would
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: sue them. And it's one thing to get sued, but
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: it's another thing when it's the president of the United
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: States and the White House suing you and who knows
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: what else they could do to you. So Politico backed
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: down immediately. They did issue a correction yesterday. Politico issued
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: a correction on the story, saying an earlier version mischaracterized
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Weill's involvement and admitting she did not play a direct role. Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the other thing, this is the other thing. If you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: read Politico, you found out. Remember that Katie Zakaria did
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: that interview on Hannity that was very damaging to her? Well,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: if you read Politico, it told you that this was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Susie Wiles, that behind the scenes, she's the one that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: arranged it. It was Susie Wiles that set it up. Well,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Politico admitted it's not true. There's another fault. Two corrections.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Another fake story they printed. They actually admitted, quote, she
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: did not play a direct role in setting up the interview,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: which means she had absolutely nothing to do with it.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: So they have confessed. However, their attorney has put out
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: a statement, written a letter to the White House, mad
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: at them for trying to chill and punish the outlet's
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: reporting because it believes the coverage of Trump is too negative. Well,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: it's not a case of believing. Just read Politico. It's
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: not too negative. It's completely negative. It's nonstop negative. It's
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: not a belief. It's a fact. Politico, it says, Politico
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: categorically rejects the false accusations in your letter that it
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: chose to publish fanciful fiction and purposeful falsehoods designed to
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: mislead the public. Well, that's exactly what you did, though.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: And see, if you're saying would never intend to do that, well,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that would mean you were just stupid and you got
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: it wrong. I don't know which is better. It's probably
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: better to say you did it deliberately. It's actually much
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: worse if you admit you're just dumb, you don't know
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: what the hell you're doing, and you got the story
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: all wrong. If that's the case, why should we trust
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: you on any other story? The letter goes on. Politico
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: categorically rejects the false accusations in your letter. That said,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Politico takes seriously assertions like those made in your letter.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: As a result, Politico determined it was appropriate to correct
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: one of the three articles that identified in your letter
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: correct means they admitted they lied uh he added the
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: company would be remiss if we did not note that
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the timing and substance of your letter contains the unlawful
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: retaliatory and viewpoint discriminatory motives underlying the he's saying it's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the timing at the same time you ban politico cnn
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: and ms now from the white house not it's not
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: a uh it's not suspicious it makes sense if this
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: publication is lying and as you as you politico admit
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in this in your own letter you got the story
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: totally wrong well if you're that bad a reporter why
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: should they let you in the white house if you're
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: making those kind of mistakes why should they let you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: in the white house uh but this lawyer was uh
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: i don't know who this lawyer is but uh this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: sounds like did ai write this for him it's just
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: a badly badly written letter um Again, don't trust anything
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in Politico. Ilhan Omar, as we mentioned before, turns out
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: that's not a real name. They got her on that.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: They got her DNA evidence. They'll prove she was married
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: to her brother. They're also seriously looking at whatever ties
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: she has to all that fraud in Minnesota. You're talking
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: about $ 100 million in fraud. Who knows? Who knows what
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: kind of connection she had money-wise to all of that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: So they're taking a look at that. The task force
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: that's looking for fraud everywhere. They're doing really well, Trump administration.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: You know, they just busted this ring in California that
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: committed $ 2 billion with a B, $ 2 billion in medical fraud,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: a bunch of doctors that looks like white-collar thieves, doctors
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: billing for unneeded surgeries, hunting the homeless for rehabs and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: putting the government, hitting the government up for phony hospice care.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: 15 doctors were arrested. Here's a couple of them in
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: one ring. 1.6 billion in fraud that they collected. Here's
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: another doctor who had millions and millions, 134, this one guy,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: 134 million in false billing, living in a huge mansion
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: with gates and big walls around it. The SWAT team
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Federal SWAT team was seen scaling his, his walls and
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: they were cutting down his gate, entering his house, uh,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: placed ladders up the house. They went into first floor,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: second floor, all at the same time. Oh, the reason
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they went so crazy with this guy, uh, they knew
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: that the guy had an arsenal in his house. He
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: had a lot of weapons in there. That's why, that's
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: why this, uh, same kind of raid they did on, uh,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Al Pacino in, you know, remember, what was the movie
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: where he played the big drug lord? Remember that raid
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: on his mansion in Miami? It was that kind of
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: a raid. That kind of a raid. So they're doing
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: this all over the place. They're getting back billions and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: billions and billions in fraud. Hey, Mamdani, for the first
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: time now, will actually campaign today with Kathy Hochul. So
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: they'll be arm in arm campaigning. This may help Blakeman.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: This may help Blakeman. I imagine they'll be taking the
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: footage of them together and using it in ads. You know,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: they keep trying to tie Blakeman to Trump. Blakeman's been
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: friends with Trump for years, but agrees on some things,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: disagrees on others. But I assume you'll be seeing a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: lot of commercials of Mamdani and Hochul campaigning together. of
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Mamdani endorsing Hochul. That's not going to help her. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: might be good in New York City, but half the
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: votes are outside of New York City. They'll be campaigning
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: in Brooklyn. Her campaign confirmed it. His campaign confirmed it. Hey,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that crazy El-Sayed in Michigan, President Trump will be in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Michigan campaigning for Mike Rogers. So he's got these family members,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: you know, with the supposed... Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: ties and they're denying his sister. Well, it turns out
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: the Obama administration had put his sister on the terror
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: watch list. Well, that's not good. And now they found another,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: an old, old, old letter signed by al-Sayyad urging the
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt to kill media and police. Or
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: he used the word purge. I think that means killed.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: That's a very disgusting letter sent in 2012, just before
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the government did crack down on journalists in Egypt, targeting
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: at least half a dozen for insulting Islam. But the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Michigan candidate disavows the Muslim Brotherhood. But the ties he had,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: pretty clear, pretty obvious. I don't know how he's going
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to deny them. Hey, speaking of Mamdani, remember I told
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: you yesterday? He's only signed one law in 10 months
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: in office. That's all he's done, just signed one little
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: law in 10 months. And it was a little thing.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: It was the law allowing outdoor dining all year. That's
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: all he did. It was pretty embarrassing because normally a mayor,
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: even the very lazy Bill de Blasio, by this point
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: had signed 47 bills, 47 laws. Eric Adams at this
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: point had signed 30. Bloomberg at this point had signed 28.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: So for Mamdani to only get one thing done in
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: 10 months, it's pretty embarrassing. Mamdani tries to explain this.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: He was asked about it. You know how he talks
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: a mile a minute and he's very articulate and talks
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: so fast and he just pours an answer right out
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: and it Well, when he was asked about this, he
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: hemmed and hawed. All of a sudden, he wasn't so slick.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: He mumbled something about, well, the most important thing is
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that New Yorkers can see pieces of legislation. He says,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: whether we sign it or not, whether we pass it
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: or not, it's not important. It's important to see that
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: we keep working with the council, whether it's signing bills
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: or seeing the passage of bills. So in other words,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: he's saying, It's true he didn't get anything done. He
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: only signed one bill in 10 months, but he was
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: watching the council otherwise. He wants credit for watching them,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: I guess. A President Trump also suing the BBC. That's
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: another thing. The BBC, BBC News, was considered the most
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: prestigious news organization in the world. For the last 10 years,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it's been a dirty, sleazy, disgusting, corrupt, ridiculous news organization
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: they got trump derangement syndrome they printed all kinds of
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: false crap about him he's suing them now for 10
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: billion dollars 10 billion the only problem it's very difficult
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: to sue people in another country very tricky and tough
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to get that done so a judge is demanding trump
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: do a deposition he hasn't done it yet he is
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: a little busy But they lied about him in January 6th.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: This is how sleazy the BBC has become. They did
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: a documentary showing that Trump caused January 6th. Trump ordered
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: his people to go do that at the Capitol. Of course,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: nothing like that ever happened. But how did they convince
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: the viewers? Well, they doctored up and edited up footage
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of him. You remember we made that speech where he said,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I want you to go to the Capitol? I want
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: you to peacefully protest. Well, they cut out the word peacefully.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: They edited up what he said. So instead they had
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: him saying, go there and fight like hell. Go there
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: and fight like hell. We fight like hell. And if
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: a country anymore. Well, that's never what he said. He
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: actually said, you know, protest peacefully and patriotic. They really,
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: really edited up his speech in the most corrupt, disgusting way.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: So Trump could probably, even though it's another country and
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: it's tough to get anything done legally, would easily win
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: this lawsuit. But he's got to do a deposition. Judge
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: gave him a deadline. Hopefully he does it. Now, this
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: one city in America, Topeka, Kansas, beautiful. Isn't that where
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: Dorothy was from? Wizard of Oz? Topeka, Kansas. You know,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: if a city's doing really well, people want to move there.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: You know, like New York City. It's a crowded mess.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: It's got the worst taxes. But people are moving here
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: like crazy. Even now with Mamdani, people are pouring in here,
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: moving in here. Now, some states, well, you get rid
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: of the tax. There's no state tax. We'll be tax-free.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: That gets people to move down. That's what Florida did.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: You know, you can say Florida's the perfect, well, if
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: you got to eliminate taxes, you're basically letting people in
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: for free. It's not that impressive. But Topeka, Kansas, things
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: are so bad, they're paying people to move there. That's right.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: They'll pay you $ 15, 000 to move to Topeka, Kansas. You're
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: going to have to prove you have a job there.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You have to prove that you've gotten a job with
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: an employer in Topeka, Kansas. But otherwise, you get $ 15, 000
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: in cash if you move there. That's when a city's
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: not doing well, when they've got to pay people to
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: move there. New York City, you know it's doing well
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: when they can overtax, overcharge, and still have people pouring in. Florida,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: they've got to go tax-free to get you to move there.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: New York tax is like crazy, and plenty of people
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: are moving here. Hey, remember Julie Andrews? Mary Poppins? My
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: fair lady, great Broadway star, great singer, amazing voice, Julie Andrews.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: She's still around. She's 91, lives in the Hamptons. Nobody's
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: seen her for a while. She was seen yesterday for
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: the first time. She said, I'm not completely retired, but
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: things are different today. I do a lot of recording
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: of podcasts and voiceovers. She did a voiceover for me
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: once years ago. A promo. We've got the greatest voice,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: Julie Andrews, 91. You can see that they had to
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: help her out of the car, but she looked great. Hey,
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. We'll
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: take some calls next. 800-321-0710.
