  Speaker 1: The Mark Simone Show on 710WOR. Thank you, Shadow Stevens. Well,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: this just announced Caroline Leavitt, formerly the White House press secretary,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Caroline Leavitt, will join Fox News as a contributor. Now,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: at some point, I would imagine she'll have her own show,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: like a lot of other ex-press secretaries, Dana Perino and
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Kayleigh McEnany and others. But for now, a contributor, that's
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: probably what she wants, because That means you appear on
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: various Fox shows as a guest. You do 10 minutes
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: on this show, 10 minutes on that show, and you
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: can do it from home. They set you up at
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: home with a little mini TV set there. It's a
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: big TV screen behind you that puts the background in.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: It's three lights and a camera. And it's just, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: once in a while, you know, every couple hours you
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: do 10 minutes. So the whole point of her leaving
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the White House was so she could be with her
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: kids and help you know, around the house, be there
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to raise her kids. So this is the perfect job.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: She'll do this. So once she's doing this, you'll see
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: her on Fox and Friends. You'll see her on Outnumbered
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: or you'll see her on Hannity or you'll see her
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: on Jesse. And it's an easy way to do it.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: And a lot of these contributors have never left their house.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: It's a great job. You don't have to go anywhere.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: You just got to go into the other room and
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: do 10 minutes and come back. Uh, Now, some show.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I'm on Kudlow all the time. There, you've got to
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: be on the set. It's very important because it's a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: great-looking set. But perfect for Caroline Leavitt. And then at
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: some point, if she's great as a contributor, they'll give
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: her her own show. When she's ready to come back full-time.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: how are you doing?
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark.
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: I'm doing very well, thank you. Mark, during yesterday's Chicago
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Bears game, I saw a great ad with President Trump
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: As he walked down the hall line with pictures, he
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: listed all of his plans and accomplishments. And I thought
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: it was quite powerful. This is excellent timing for the midterms.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: A question, if I may.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: How is Barron Trump doing these days?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Oh, that's a good question. He's doing fine. A lot
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of people love that ad of President Trump. You know,
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: they say, wow, it's very dramatic. Ooh, that's a powerful ad. Now,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: if you're a Democrat... You're getting livid. I think that's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: one reason he's running the ad, just to make Democrats nauseous.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: They go crazy when they see this ad. Now, the
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: other problem is he used taxpayer funds to pay for it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: He had the government pay for it. I guess you're
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: not supposed to do that. Well, legally, technically, he's right.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You're not supposed to spend government money on campaign ads.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: But the ad's only really about him. And as he
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: points out, he's not a candidate. He's not running for
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: anything ever again. He'll never be running for anything ever again.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: So technically it's not a campaign ad, but it's perfect Trump.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: He figured out a way to get Democrats screaming and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: crazy and have them just bursting at the seams. But
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: it's technically legal. Oh, Barron Trump's doing fine. Barron is
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: going to school. He goes to NYU, but they have
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: a Washington, D.C. campus. That's where he goes. Although lately
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: he's been taking classes privately. Without going into too much detail,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you'll notice you have not seen anything of Barron Trump lately.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: That's because of that horrifying Iranian threat. They've actually threatened
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to assassinate Barron Trump, so that's why you don't hear
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: about him and you don't see him right now. Let's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: go to Peter in Manhattan. Peter, how you doing?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: Hey, what's up, Mark? Mark, I got a question for you.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Oh, this is the guy. He hates Trump, hates everything.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: Hates Blakeman, hates all this stuff. Always angry about it.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: What is Blakeman's What is Brakeman's position on illegal aliens?
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's a priority.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Oh, his position is follow the law. Stick to the law. No, no, no, no, no, no. Yeah, no,
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that is his position. What is your position?
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: You've got to listen. Why is your system so bad,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: your phone system so bad? Listen to me. When he says, well,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: if they've.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Been here a long time. This is why you never, ever, ever, ever, ever,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: ever argue with anybody.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Sir.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I just gave him the answer, but then nothing satisfies him.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: They'll keep arguing. No, no, no, no. His position is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: follow the law.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Mock, mock, mock.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Mock, mock, mock. See, this is what they do. His
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: position is stick to the law. Whatever the law says,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: enforce it. That's his position.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: You hope it is. You hope it is. Okay.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: And I bet you this guy's a really nice guy,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: this Peter. You can tell from his voice. He's like
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a nice, fun, warm guy. As soon as they get
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: into politics, you can't tell them anything. Don't even try
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to convince. You're not going to convince anybody of anything.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Blakeman's actual position is enforce the law. If you tell
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: them that, it just makes them madder. Don't argue with them.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Blauvelt in Florida. Blauvelt, how are you doing?
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Mark Simone.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: How are you?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Good. If Blakeman is following the law, if he proved it, because...
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: He put up all the jail cells for ICE. That's
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: right there, black and white. And I have a question
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: for you.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: He didn't actually put up jail cells. When ICE comes
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: to town and they've got to arrest illegals who are
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: committing crimes, they do need help. You know, the local
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: law enforcement should help them. And Blakeman gave them locals
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to help. And he let them use a wing of
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: a jail in case, you know, you've got to have
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a place to hold your prisoners.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I have one question for you, Mark. What's your
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: TV schedule this week?
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. Actually, these TV shows,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: they kind of book day-to-day. They don't schedule. Sometimes they'll do,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: but most of the time it's day-to-day.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Are you on cut mode this week?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm on every week, but it's day-to-day. I haven't heard.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I shouldn't say this. Let me look. Nope, didn't hear
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: from today.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: It's like an encore. It's an encore process.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Well, you can't book a TV show too far in
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: advance because you don't know what the topics are going
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: to be. Let's say it's a war breaks out somewhere. Well,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: it's going to be all generals and military types. And
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: let's say it's a big financial that's going to be
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: treasuries types, economists. But, yeah, it'll be one day this week.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Ralph in Manhattan. Ralph, how are you doing?
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: What kind of fair shake, Mark, are these guys from
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Cornell going to get? They're probably creeps. I mean, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: can assure you they're creeps. But when they use this thing, Mark,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: as a political football, which they're doing in spades, man,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you're going to see these guys go down in flames,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: not get a fair trial. I mean, I thought it
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: was supposed to be a semblance of fairness. But as
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: you see, it's not.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Really going to end up that way, Mark. I think
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: they're guilty. That's just my gut instinct. Yeah. They got
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: some things in their favor. One is the victim has
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: changed her story multiple times. Also, Letitia James, not having
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: any experience as a prosecutor, she's never prosecuted a criminal
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: case in her life, shot her mouth off and prejudged
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: the case. They can use all this stuff. What they'll
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: do with Hochul and James saying all these things, they'll
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: get it moved out of state. They'll get the case
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: moved to another venue. Absolutely.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and how about that Duke situation when you found
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: out years afterwards, it took years to find out that
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: it was an absolute hoax. There was no truth to
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: it whatsoever. That was shocking to me when I found
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: out there was no truth to it. I thought it
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: was somewhere in between, but it wasn't that way.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: No, and that's a good thing to bear in mind.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Good point, Ralph. The Duke lacrosse case, it was exactly
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the same stuff. And it turned out it was not
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: just misleading. It was totally, completely false. My gut instinct
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: is this woman's not lying totally, but we'll see. Just
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: remember the Duke LaCrosse case 20 years ago turned out
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: to be a total hoax. But we'll see where this goes.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: We'll talk more about the Cornell case. And again, that
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: fraternity house, that is the ugliest building I have ever seen.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: Stop showing that picture. It looks hideous, that building. In fact,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: tear it down or put a new front on that building. Hey,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the Pieta tear tax, you know, there's a big lawsuit.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Randy Mastro's running it. They're trying to block the Pieta
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: tear tax. And they won a couple of rounds with
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: the judge saying the rollout was bad. It wasn't done correctly.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: And so it didn't kill the Pieta tear tax. It
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: just said they have to redo the whole thing. Well,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: there's another lawsuit that is so brilliant. I think this
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: one is going to stop the Pierre de Terre text.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: We'll explain it to you coming up in the next hour.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: I think the answer to this, it's brilliant. And then
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: we got that and a lot more to get to
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: coming up. It's Mark Simone here every weekday now, 9
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to noon, three hours every day, 9 to noon. Then
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: at noon, you got Buck and Clay. They do a
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: really good show every day. 3 o'clock, you got the
