Hour 2: President Trump's sensitivity. · The Mark Simone Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Houster, New York.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Mark Simoner, Hey, well, it's a lot going on this morning.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: All the police Commissioner Jessica Tish is staying, and she's
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: just put out a memo moments ago to the entire
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: department assuring them that she will have their back, that
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: everything will be fine under her, that she and mayor
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: elect Mom Donnie, have come to agreement on things. Now.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: From what I hear, they've had a number of meetings,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: in person meetings, then they had a bunch of phone
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: calls over the weekend. So apparently the deal is he
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: will leave the NYPD alone, she will run it. She's
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: not the type to run it and be micromanaged and
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: told what to do. That's not her. She's staying because
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: she's gotten the assurance she'll be able to run the department. Now,
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Mom Donnie, what about all his crazy nonsense about the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: social workers doing this and that. Apparently he's agreed to
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: do that separately from the NYPD. The NYPD will be
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the police department, and he will have his Department of
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Community Safety, and that's where all the social workers will go,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: and then they'll deal with homeless or mentally ill or
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: those kind of things. So I don't think that. Well,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I know that she wouldn't do this unless she had
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: some assurance should be left alone and for a good
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: deal of time. So I don't think this is a
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: deal where she's going to have a problem three months
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: and quit. And I don't think Mom Donnie would want
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to risk her quitting a couple of months into his
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: first year. If he wants her to stay. He knows
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: the problem with the problem with her. People like her.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: It's very respected and seems to be a woman a
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: real principle. So if there was a problem bad, she'd quit.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: She doesn't need the job. She would quit, go public
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and say I can't you know, I'm leaving because of
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: this and this, and it'd be a great embarrassment to
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: the mayor. I know she's threatened Adams with that a
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: few times when he tried to interfere, and she's good
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: at threatening him. You know, I'll leave and I'll hold
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the press comings though, and she was right to do it.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: She was, you know, fighting for the right stuff for
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: the NYPD. So if I know that Mom Donnie knows
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: that that she's good at that kind of leverage, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: he's not going to want that kind of embarrassment in
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: his first year. So obviously I've come to a good,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: strong agreement on this. She will stay. That's very good news,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: excellent news. Now they both agree on keeping Ice out.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: She doesn't want Ice in there. You know. Ice basically
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: what they do is they come in and they take
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: away the worst criminals of all. I mean, you could
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: try to argue that not everybody to grab is the worst. Well,
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: that's true of any police department. And you know, if
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you arrest a thousand people last year, maybe six you
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: shouldn't have arrested. It's going to happen. You can't help that.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: Tom Holman has let Mom Donnie know if he needs
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: to come in. He's coming in.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: The mayor of New York City wants to come in
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: and talk about making the streets safer. Open up for discussion.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: I'm wanting to meet with anybody. President trump'ta will and
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: meet with anybody, but let's get together and work it together.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: We much rather work with these sanctuary cities than keep
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: you know, putting our agents at extreme risk going out
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: in the community and wrestling public safety trip and they
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: could arrested them in the safety and security of a jail.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: So we walk home any conversation. But if they if
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: they don't want assist, they want to keep you know,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: pushing back and impeding our efforts, then we're going to
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: just send more teams there.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: We're going to plug his own. Yeah. Hovend's always been
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: right about let's do it in Rikers Island, in that
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: prison where it's safe and you're not going to hurt
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: any innocent vice. Then let's do the arrest in there.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: You know, Ice for a long time had an office
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: in Rikers Islands. He wants to go back to that
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: hit more of homes.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: So we'll go becoming New York. So we're already there now.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I mean teams are there now. But we were increasing
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: enforcement president in New York City again because of our
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: sanctuary city, and we know we have an issue there
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: were public state to trust sit in the street every day.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, important thing to remember is if there's a
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: dispute about what ICE can do in New York and
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: you can't arrest this, well, believe it or not, federal
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: law supersedes local law. So Holman has the law on
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: his side. The courts would have to uphold that. Hey,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: last night at the White House, they had this What
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a dinner they had. It was Saudi Day, all day
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: with the Saudi leaders, the Crown Prince, this and that,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: and by the way, today is the Saudi Economic Forum.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: Apparently it's very importless and there's zillions of dollars coming
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: in and out of that part of the world, and
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: every business leader wants in on that. So it's a
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: big economic forum. It's at the Kennedy Center. They're using
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: the Kennedy Center, and President Trump will go there and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: address this group. Last night. That was quite a state
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: dinner they had. If you look at the main table
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: with the Saudi leaders there, it's Trump, it's Elon Musk,
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it's Bill Gates, close buddy of Jeffrey Epstein. It's Bill Gates.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: It's Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook of Apple, and they're
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: all these guys are all praising Trump. Thank you for
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: inviting us, Thank you for the wonderful dinner. What an
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: honor to know you, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Let me wait a minute, I lost it. Let me
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: see now I lost the video. But it's very interesting
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: listening these guys, Bill Gates with us. Well, thank you,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: mister President for including me such an honor to be
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: here with you and Mark Zuckerberg, thank you so much
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: for having me. I just love being here with you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: These guys that censored Donald Trump just two years ago,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: banned him from their from their platforms. Tim Cook said,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: an honor to be included. So this of course driving
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: me left nuts. Now, Bill Gates, you should see these
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: texts and emails with Bill Gates and Epstein. Apparently it's
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: a Bill Gates top assistant who's trying to negotiate. Apparently
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: Bill Gates was at Epstein's house all the time, all
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: the time. We'll get back to it, but all the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: time he was there at Epstein's house. Now, when you
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: ask him, a couple of reporters said, what were you
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: doing at Epstein's house for five hours every night? Well,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: I was meeting with him about donations form my charity. Now,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: first of all, why would a guy with two hundred
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: and fifty billion dollars meet with a guy with forty
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: million to get money from If you got two hundred
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: and fifty billion and this guy's there for this guy's
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: worth forty million, you really don't need to meet with
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: him for any money. The other thing is if it's
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: for raising money for a charity. You know, I'm on
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: the board a lot of charities, so I've been there
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: for these meetings where you meet with the billionaire or
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the zillionaire trying to get money from him. These meetings
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: are usually a half hour. Sometimes there's been cases where
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: they'll go to an hour. I've never seen a five
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: hour meeting for that. There's no such thing as a
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: five hour meeting for that. And the other thing is
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: these meetings take place during the day. Usually you go
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: to the guy's office. A lot of times you get
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: to his office, he says, let's go in the conference room,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: and you sit there for an hour in the middle
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: of the day, and then you go home and he
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: goes back to work. It's never at his house at
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: night for five hours. There's never been a meeting over
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: raising money for a charity at somebody's house for five hours.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: It's absolutely ridiculous. It's insane to even try to claim that.
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: But if you read these emails from Bill Gate's top
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: assistant and Epstein's trying to get him back, she keeps
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: saying it's it's Bill Gates's wife. He won't she won't
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: let him come back to your house and Bill Gates,
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: the wife has forbidden him to talk to you. So
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you can be sure the wife knew what was going on.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: The wife knows him a lot better than we do,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: so she knew what was going on and put her
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: foot down. Don't ever go to his house again. So
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Bill Gates is gonna have a big problem. Larry Summers,
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the big, big senior Democrat. He was the Treasury secretary
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Bill Clinton. He was the advisor to Obama. In fact,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: recently in the Biden administration, he was an advisor to Biden.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: Larry Summers has had to quit every board he's on.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: He quit open AI today, he quit all the boards.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: He resigned from everything in public. Now. He said, I'll
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: keep my Harvard stuff. I'm a Harvard professor. I'll continue.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Harvard just announced an hour ago they're opening an investigation
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: into Larry Summers. Oh what do you need to investigate?
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: We know just read the text, read the emails. We
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: know what was going on with him in Epstein. There
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: it is. You also got to wonder how bright is
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: this Larry Summers if he puts all this in writing,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: If you're going to discuss women and philandering and have Epstein.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Be your dating coach when you're married, call them on
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: the phone, do it over the fo Why did you
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: put in writings? Just insane? So he's got a problem.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: He's basically canceled.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Now.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: Bill Gates doesn't really work anywhere for anybody, I mean Microsoft,
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: but he's stepped down from any active role, so you
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: can't really cancel him. But you're going to have others
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: when these files are released. Now they're demanding the files
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: be released within thirty days, but the ruling is they
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: want them searchable and downloadable. That's going to take time
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: to do that. It shows you how lazy they are.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: It has to be searchable. We're not going to read
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: the whole thing. We basically these files aren't going to
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: show much of anything. The juicy stuff is not in
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: the files. It's in the text the emails, and those
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: are all coming from the Epstein estate that had access
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: to his own as emails, all that stuff. The files
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: are mostly from the New York FBI office because back
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: then that's where the investigation was conducted, the New York
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: FBI office, and then with the Glene Maxwell and Jeffrey
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Epstein US Attorney's office. So that's where the Southern District
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: US Attorney's Office, Southern District, So that's where the files
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: are coming from. And they're basically pretty you know, you know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: cold law enforcement sort of investigation files. So the juicy stuff,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: the dialogue, is not in those files. As far as victims,
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: all the victims, there's one thing in common. They don't
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: claim Donald Trump ever did anything to them. Nothing. Now,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the lead victim is Virginia Jeufrey. Virginia Geufrey was the
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: number one victim. She wrote a book and she made
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: it clear Donald Trump was not involved in anything bad.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: In fact, she said he was always a gentleman and
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: very friendly to her. She had a co author on
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: the book. The co author who worked with her and
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: got her a whole story for the book, spoke to CBS.
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: Now here's the problem. The whole thing backfired on CBS.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: They tried to ask her what about Donald Trump. Well,
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: they didn't like the answer.
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: She gave, and she felt validated by it. Wait a minute,
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: I never talked about him in any sense that he
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: was involved in any of this. No, No, he was not,
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: as far as she knew. And again, she was there
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: for two plus years. But as far as she knew
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: he was not involved in the ring of trafficking that
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: Epstein was working.
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: Now, that's bad. CBS does not like that answer. Here's more.
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: Listen to this part about it.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: You mentioned President Trump at all in your discussion.
• 11:49
  Speaker 7: Oh, she absolutely did.
• 11:51
  Speaker 6: I was in Australia in October, a month before, weeks
• 11:56
  Speaker 6: before the presidential election. She was a huge Trump fan.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: The true reasons for that one, she had met Trump
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: on numerous occasions because she worked at mar Laga Spa
• 12:10
  Speaker 6: in Florida, which he owns, and her father also worked
• 12:13
  Speaker 6: there and knew Trump pretty well, so she was introduced
• 12:17
  Speaker 6: to Trump. He was kind to her. The second reason
• 12:21
  Speaker 6: she wanted Trump to be president was because he campaigned
• 12:25
  Speaker 6: on releasing the Epstein files and she was excited.
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: If you're watching the video, the CBS reporter looks very
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: upset where she says she does not like the part
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: where she says Trump was very kind and a nice man.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Wait a minute, let me stop this now. The other
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: thing is you're going to hear this a lot, especially
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: from these right wing crazies, that they keep saying Trump
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. That's absolutely not true.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: He never campaigned ever on releasing the Epstein files. If
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: you go check the whole campaign, every speech, every major speech,
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: he never mentions the Epstein files. The only time it
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: came up during the campaign, he was on Fox and
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Friends one day and they brought it up and they said,
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: are you would you released the Epstein files, and he said, yeah,
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: i'd before releasing. But he never campaigned on it. It's
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: never ever, ever in the campaign, never in a Trump speech,
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: So that's important to remember. Uh what else, Hey, the NFL,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: I know the owners love this. Roger Goodell. I can't
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: stand this Roger Goodell. You know he's always up to
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: something weird. Now here's his latest obsession, apparently obsessed. They're
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: going to bring back these supersonic flights. You remember the
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: Concord and all that speed of sound supersonic. They're bringing
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: those back. I hated that Concord. It was a horrible plane.
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: It was so small and tight. They had to make
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: it really small and it got you there faster, but
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: it was so uncomfortable. The seats were smaller, it was
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: like riding in coach. It was just a terrible, terrible flight.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: But they're bringing that back, so it'll be you'll be
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: able to get to Europe in three hours, four hours.
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: It'll be like flying to la So apparently the NFL
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: is obsessed with this. They think, since it'll be so
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: easy and fast to get to Europe, that they should
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: have whole bunch of franchises in Europe. They want why
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: do they want to have more teams? I guess money reasons.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: There's with a lot of money in it. But you
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: get too many teams already. You don't need all these teams.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: It's too many nfls. So now they want to have
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: all these teams and it's going to just screw up
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: the whole feel of the NFL. You know, it's one
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: thing when when it's Tampa versus Chicago, when it's Pittsburgh
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: versus New York, it's one thing. But when it's Milan
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: versus Venice versus we don't need these European teams. But
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: you can't talk Roger Goodell on anything to forget about it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna not gonna work. Hey, if you want,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you some. This is great diet advice,
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: by the way. Start watching the cooking videos. Whatever you like,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: whatever you eat too much of, go watch the cooking video.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: You take a good one, you know, Jacques pa Pan
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: or Gordon Rams you anything great cooking can when you
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: see how it's made, it'll help stop you from eating it.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: You know, like even like a steak in a restaurant.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: You know you make steak at home. You say, she's
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: not as good as in the restaurant when I go
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: to a steakhouse. Somehow it's better. Well, watch the videos
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: when they make it. Because you put a little salt
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: on the top. They cover the whole top with salt.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: There's covered with salt. It's like a cup of salt
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: on that thing, which is not good for you. And
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: then you might put a little butter in there. Watch
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: what they throw, like a whole stick of butter in there.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: They baste it in butter. They keep cooking it butter.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: So if you like whatever, just even a little piece
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: of cake, go watch the video where they make the cake.
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: You won't believe how much butter is in there. Watch
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: how much cream and butter and stuff they watch them
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: just pour the sugar in there. To watch those videos,
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: it'll turn you off a little help help you with
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: your diet.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Anyway, we'll take some calls in a moment. Eight hundred
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: three two one zero seven ten is the number, eight
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: hundred three two one zero seven.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: Ten, mister New York marcelone, he's on sevent ten.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Wor Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to George
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: and Brooklyn. George, how you doing okay? And you let
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: me check not bad? Not bad?
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: And listen, there was no way uh mcdonney could have lost.
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: See he was running by himself.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: What do you mean.
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: There was I mean nobody wanted them the other two,
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: so he was running by and sell.
• 16:39
  Speaker 8: How could you this is not legitimate?
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: I don't know.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: All right, very good point. I don't know what it is.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: But as long as you do, thanks for calling. Let's
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: go to uh Lou in Wanta. Lou, how you doing okay?
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Very good Mark, Yes, Lou.
• 16:53
  Speaker 8: I wanted to bring up the point that all the
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: goods in the country are still a little bit high.
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: Everybody's complaining, well not all a lot.
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: Prices have come down on a lot of things.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah, well, there's as a way President Trump could even
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: bring him down quicker stop the federal excise tax on
• 17:09
  Speaker 8: diesel fuel. Everything in the country ships by diesel fuel,
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: trains run on diesel fuel, boats run on diesel fuel,
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: Trucks run on diesel fuel. You cut the federal excise tax,
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: everything will come down because they will pass that on
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: to the consumer.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Well, you're absolutely right, that's a good point. But more
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: than that, the biggest tax are the local state taxes
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: on gasoline. You know, if you go around the country,
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: gas is really cheap. Now we're getting cheaper, it's like
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: two sixty nine, but if you're in New York, it's
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: still three to ninety. Again, that's because of all the
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: local taxes. New York and California still have these high
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: gas prices because the tax you know, when you buy
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: a gallon of gas, if it's three fifty, the gas
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: station gets like four cents out of that three fifty.
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: The rest is all these taxes and race. So yeah,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: just cut the state local taxes too. Let's go to
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: h Anderson in Westchester. Anderson, how you doing?
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: Not bad for a fellow, my agent?
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: How old are you?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: Turned seventy nine yesterday?
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: That's not that old. That's the age of the president.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, it's not that all right, it's as old
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: as I've ever been. Let's put it down all right.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: Where are you in Westchester?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Up around Yorktown?
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Yorktown is very nice, Yorktown Heights. I love that place. Yeah,
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: but you got Uncle Giuseppe's up there, one of the
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: great supermarkets in the tristy there.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so indeed they do. But listen, I got
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: some really troubling news. I run a small charity. Yeah,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: and we've been working on climate change. So nine, what
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: what are you.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Working on trying to get more climate change? What are
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: you doing?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: Well, we were trying to figure out the problem. We
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: were like everybody else is running around complaining about the weather. Well,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: it's getting hotter, the ice is melting, the ocean's rising.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Oh YadA, YadA, YadA. But then in twenty nineteen and
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: we figured out, my goodness, we're looking at this and
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: entirely the wrong way. We should not be worried about
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: the weather or the melting ice or the.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: Rising st First of all, the seas aren't the seas
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: aren't rising, the ice isn't melting. Everything's fine. Go back
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: and watch the Al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth. Watch it. Now,
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: everything you predicted never came true.
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well that's because al Gore, like everybody else was
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: looking at the problem the wrong way.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: No, it's because they were looking to make money off it.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: It's a president Trump is right, the green scheme. Ocean's
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: not rising. Every Democrat they buy houses right on the
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: ocean all the time. Okay, the ice is not melting.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: You're in New York Town. You don't even have water
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: near you. Don't worry.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: All right, I'll tell you what. I'll let you go
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: because if you believe that stuff is true, don't I
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: don't think I've got the right audience.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: No, you definitely don't. The fact that the Hey, you know,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: there's a great ABC news piece from two thousand, yeah,
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: around two thousand where they said Manhattan will be underwater
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: by two thousand fourteen. And again the Algore movies are
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: everything you predicted never came true. Everything John Carey never
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: never came true.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, very good, then take it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: You can't convince these people of anything. Do you remember
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: that ocean's rising. Oh there's another great I think it's
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: CBS Dan Rather. You can find these videos that you
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: go online. It was a piece on how Florida is
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: going to be underwater by the year twenty twelve. And
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: while they do these things, tell you the sea is rising,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: beaches are going to go away. They buy houses on
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: the beach all the time. John Kerrey has a house
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: on the beach. The Obamas have bought now two houses
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: on two different beaches. CNN moved their headquarters from Columbus
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Circle to the water. They moved it over to the
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: Hudson River. They're right on the river. So they don't
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: even believe this stuff. Hey, when we come back and
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: Coulter will be with us next on seven to ten wor.
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: You're listening to the Mark Simone show wr well.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: And Culter the great columnist, best selling author, And make
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: sure you follow on Twitter. It's and Culter at Twitter,
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: even better at substack where she's got videos and interviews
• 21:11

• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Culter dot substack dot com and Culter dot substack dot

  Speaker 3: com and culture.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: How you doing fantastic?
• 21:23
  Speaker 7: How are you? Mark?
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: Come on, I'm good, I'm good. The mom Donnie says
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Jessica Tish will stay as the police commissioner. So that's
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: a good sign, isn't it. Maybe it won't be as
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: bad as we think.
• 21:35
  Speaker 7: No, that's fantastically. I hope the police can do their job.
• 21:38
  Speaker 7: The other big news, and boy, Mayor Adam should have
• 21:42
  Speaker 7: talked about this a little bit more. He apparently commissioned
• 21:46
  Speaker 7: a couple of architectural firms to come up with a
• 21:50
  Speaker 7: better method of the scaffolding that is all over the city,
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: absolutely destroying buildings, destroying sidewalks. Well, I didn't even know
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: he had.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but we like scaffolding, Well, scaffolding, you know what
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: you like?
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: Scaffold? Well, no one likes scaffolding. It's oh, it's awful.
• 22:11
  Speaker 7: It's awful. It's so it.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: Doesn't look good, but it doesn't look up. When you
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: wake up like this morning and it's raining, you can
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: walk without an umbrella. You got the scaffolding all the
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: way around the block. It's perfect.
• 22:24
  Speaker 7: We could have pretty awnings for that instead, if that's
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: what you would like.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: March someone, right, Okay, So obviously this architectural firm, uh
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: pretty plugged in with the new administration getting a contract already.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: That's very good. But uh, these socialists taking over the
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party, where are the elders of the party to
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: stop this? Why aren't they doing something about it?
• 22:49
  Speaker 7: Oh? I'm so glad you asked, they're all dying. They're
• 22:53
  Speaker 7: all between eighty and one foot in the grave. Something
• 22:56
  Speaker 7: that's been happening with the Democratic Party. I mean, this
• 22:59
  Speaker 7: has been ongoing for a while. It was their idea
• 23:01
  Speaker 7: to bring in what is it at this point, about
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: forty million Third worlders because oh, great news, they're voting
• 23:09
  Speaker 7: nine to one for us. Well, it didn't occur to
• 23:12
  Speaker 7: the Democrats. So at some point the Third worlders would
• 23:14
  Speaker 7: want to vote for their own and that's exactly what's happening.
• 23:18
  Speaker 7: It's what you see across the country, and with the
• 23:20
  Speaker 7: younger Democrats coming up, and they're not only third worlders,
• 23:23
  Speaker 7: they're they're quite enthusiastic about socialism, e nthomalism.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You know, I never thought about that. That's a brilliant point.
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: So they've imported voters, but it turns out to be
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: from the kook wing of the party, the younger, more
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: crazy kind of voters.
• 23:39
  Speaker 7: I never thought of this, and also the very un
• 23:42
  Speaker 7: anti you know, traditional white American voters. So the parties
• 23:48
  Speaker 7: are really about to diverge in the next decade into
• 23:52
  Speaker 7: into racial categories more than political ideology.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Huh So, yeah, that's fascinating that the elders, the mainstream.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Then you got the young socialist kookie types. And then
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: there's also this other part of the Democratic Party, the
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: outrageous ones like the Chris Murphy you know you posted
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: that Chris Murphy declares that Trump was involved in a
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: child sex ring. How does he get away with saying.
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: Things like this, Well, you know, Trump has brought a
• 24:20
  Speaker 7: lot of lawsuits and a lot of defamation lawsuits. Senator
• 24:25
  Speaker 7: Chris Murphy did not say that on the Senate floor.
• 24:28
  Speaker 7: He did not say that with any congressional immunity. It
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: seems to me it's a pretty open and shut case
• 24:35
  Speaker 7: of defamation. SUMP should definitely sue.
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: Him this chrism. Chris Murphy doesn't have any money, though,
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: What would you get out of him? It's not like
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: suing ABC.
• 24:48
  Speaker 7: Just fair point, it would be worth it you get
• 24:50
  Speaker 7: a victory against him. Yeah, and it is, I mean,
• 24:54
  Speaker 7: speaking of which, it's very odd how the Democrats and
• 24:58
  Speaker 7: the media is who exclusive interest in the Epstein files
• 25:02
  Speaker 7: is okay, control f Trump, control f Trump. They just
• 25:07
  Speaker 7: want to see where where Trump is mentioned. You know,
• 25:10
  Speaker 7: I was treating and substacking about a lot of the
• 25:12
  Speaker 7: emails that came out when Republicans released all those documents
• 25:15
  Speaker 7: last week. Really embarrassing for Michael wolf really really embarrassing
• 25:21
  Speaker 7: for Canon Star and the greatest public humiliation I think
• 25:26
  Speaker 7: I've seen in my entire life against former Harvard president
• 25:31
  Speaker 7: Larry Summers are totally hilarious.
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: And who Biden administration advisor as well, Larry Summers.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: Oh yes, yes, absolutely, also also of Oma. Right anyway,
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: the Trump mentioned and yes, Trump the headlines. It's curious
• 25:50
  Speaker 7: the headlines are all you know, Trump mentioned one million
• 25:53
  Speaker 7: times in Epstein emails, but none of them are Trump
• 25:57
  Speaker 7: emailing Epstein's scene, who obviously has a hard arm for
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: this guy. He's upsetsed and and and he's all over
• 26:06
  Speaker 7: the map. It's he's crazy, he's a loser, probably on drugs.
• 26:11
  Speaker 7: He's he's like a mobster. Ooh, the things I could
• 26:14
  Speaker 7: tell you about him. Do you want pictures of him
• 26:16
  Speaker 7: standing in my in my in my kitchen with with
• 26:19
  Speaker 7: young girls and bikinis. I could take him out right now.
• 26:23
  Speaker 7: But mostly when one journals like Michael Wolfe ask ask Epstein,
• 26:29
  Speaker 7: I'm interviewing Donald Trump, what should I ask him about?
• 26:32
  Speaker 7: Does he say anything about the girls?
• 26:33
  Speaker 6: No?
• 26:34
  Speaker 7: He does not, Does he ever produce those photos, those
• 26:36
  Speaker 7: alleged photos. He no, he does not keeps going after
• 26:39
  Speaker 7: Trump for the financial stuff. And as I said in
• 26:43
  Speaker 7: my In My In My Subsect podcast last week, I
• 26:48
  Speaker 7: think I finally figured out why Trump is so invested
• 26:52
  Speaker 7: in keeping these these filestream coming out. I don't think
• 26:55
  Speaker 7: anyone thinks he was giddling little girls.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: I do.
• 26:58
  Speaker 7: I do continue to think that it has a lot
• 27:00
  Speaker 7: to do with his donors and perhaps an important ally
• 27:05
  Speaker 7: involved in diddling little girls. But reading through Epstein's emails,
• 27:10
  Speaker 7: I recalled how very sensitive our president is to anyone
• 27:15
  Speaker 7: not liking him, and how desperate he is to win
• 27:19
  Speaker 7: over liberal elite, like the interview with Bob Woodward, like
• 27:23
  Speaker 7: sucking up to the New York Times, like calling Maggie
• 27:26
  Speaker 7: Haberman every day. Hopefully a little of that has worn
• 27:30
  Speaker 7: off since they spent four years pursuing him.
• 27:33
  Speaker 5: Prosecuting him, bringing civil lawsuits, agains him, accusing him of
• 27:36
  Speaker 5: everything under the sun.
• 27:38
  Speaker 7: But that is his instinct. Crazy for anyone to say
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: something mean about him, And you know, a normal person
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: would think, oh, look this pedophile doesn't like.
• 27:48
  Speaker 8: Me, Good for me.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: Trump doesn't want people reading anyone saying something bad about him,
• 27:55
  Speaker 7: and he knew Epstein hated him and would be denouncing
• 27:58
  Speaker 7: him in emails to do everyone they knew, which is
• 28:02
  Speaker 7: exactly what he was doing. But like I say, as
• 28:04
  Speaker 7: with others, as with me, as with Peter Teel mentioned
• 28:07
  Speaker 7: in the Epstein Files, there's no Epstein. There are no
• 28:10
  Speaker 7: emails going back to Epstein. He keeps talking about us or,
• 28:15
  Speaker 7: in the case of Teal, emailing emailing emailing, hoping to
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: strike up a friendship that doesn't seem to be going through.
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's right, I saw your name of the Epstein files.
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: What was it exactly?
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: I forgot he was upset about a column I wrote
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: about him. I mean, I've been writing about this since
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: two thousand and six because this was I mean, okay,
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: Julie Brown's Pulitzer Prize winning series in the Miami Herald. Okay,
• 28:39
  Speaker 7: good for her. It finally got the liberal media interested
• 28:42
  Speaker 7: in the case. But basically everything, the most important stuff
• 28:46
  Speaker 7: she ran had already been produced by the Palm Beach
• 28:49
  Speaker 7: Police in two thousand and six, and it was ignored
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: buried by the Democratic DA. Barry krisher State Attorney of
• 28:59
  Speaker 7: Palm Beach, is the one who gave Epstein the slap
• 29:02
  Speaker 7: on the wrist. But all of this information was out there,
• 29:05
  Speaker 7: was in the Palm Beach Post, it was in the
• 29:07
  Speaker 7: police records, and the only national media I could ever
• 29:11
  Speaker 7: get interested in it was Bill O'Reilly, Bless his hearts.
• 29:17
  Speaker 7: So yeah, I've been I've been following this case for
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: a while, and that did not make Jeffrey Epstein happy.
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah. You know, the other fascinating thing when you watch
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: all these emails and texts back and forth with all
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: these people, especially during the first Trump administration, they're going
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: down to the White House and he's advising them, you know,
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: don't talk to Jared. Make sure you see this is
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: the person, this is the one who you should talk
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: to there. And he's wrong about everything. So I guess
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: he was trying to pretend he still had some knowledge
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: of Trump, which he didn't. Trump had cut him off
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: years before, so.
• 29:44
  Speaker 7: It only had very little knowledge about anything. I mean
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: from what from what we've heard, all these you know,
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: brilliant scientists and great thinkers of the world that he
• 29:56
  Speaker 7: would bring together, you know, by by buying them dinner,
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: flying them private, bringing them together at a conference. Everyone says,
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: you know, they'd have to listen to this infant at
• 30:07
  Speaker 7: the head of the table, throw out mormonic ideas for
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: a few minutes, nod sagely, and then just get back
• 30:14
  Speaker 7: to the wheel discussion.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're right. Basically that was his relationship. He'd
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: make huge donations, lend them the plane when they needed it,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: all that stuff. But it's great stuff.
• 30:27
  Speaker 5: It's funny that Michael Wolfe is the only person at
• 30:29
  Speaker 5: least reading through the emails who seems to think that
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: Jeffrey Epstein actually has valuable information to in part.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: That's a good point. Well, everybody follow and culture on
