  Speaker 1: Now this is the Mark Simon Show on seventen wo R. Well, hey,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it turned out to be a nice day. It's gonna
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: be a very nice a lot of fun today. It'll
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: be nice like that's tomorrow and then rain on Saturday
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and not that. Man. Hey, we got a lot to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: get to. We'll get to a crazy mom Donnie.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: These billionaires are banding together, and let's see how this
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: war turns out between them and him. And we'll get
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: to Iran. We'll get to Colbert leaving us, thank god.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: And we'll get to Marco Rubio, he's on his way
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to meet with the Pope as we speak. We'll get
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: to Jeffrey Epstein, Ted Turner and a whole lot more.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Iran will keep looking for that deal and let me
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: see your here's turn. Well.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: I don't want to say that, but I mean people say,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: why aren't they protesting? They want to protest, but they
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: don't have any guns. So you could have two hundred
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: thousand people protesting and have five or six sick people
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: with guns and when they start shooting them right between
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: the eyes.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, I mean expecting the people to go out
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: there and take down this regime. That's a lot to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: expect who's actually in control.
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: In the case of Iran, we're not going to let
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: Iran have a nuclear weapon, and we're not going to
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: let that happen, and we won't let that happen. And
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: so we're dealing with people that want to make a
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: deal very much, and we'll see whether or not they
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: can make a deal this satisfactory to us. We have
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: it very much under control.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, as they say, Iran loses every war and
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: wins every negotiation. Are pretty good at that, although they've
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: never been up against a real negotiator. It's usually those
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: State department idiots with the briefing books. Trump the master negotiator,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So this may take a little longer than expected, but
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: it'll get done. Also, Trump asked about the bull Now
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: he's talking about a billion dollars. The reason for that,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: they've decided to as long as they're going to open
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: up the ground and do all that stuff to put
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: a lot of things under the ballroom, they need a
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: whole new underground bunker. There's one in the White House now,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: but apparently it's very outdated, and there's all kinds of
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: new technology and new ways to make it more bomb proof, bulletproof,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: all kinds of proof, so they want to do that. Also,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: there's a White House doctor who's always there too. Sometimes
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: there's two doctors. There's a little medical center with a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: little equipment in there. As long as they're going to
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: do all this, they want to put in a real
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: serious medical center in the White House. All kinds of
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: stuff to do under there. Now, the ballroom, it's going
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: to be a little more expensive than your average ballroom
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: because it's got to be bomb proof, bulletproof, drone proof,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: all that stuff. Here's President Trump.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I usually have a glass that's about a quarter of
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: an inch thick.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: This is about six inches thick.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: This can repair a lot of different a lot of
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: different weapons. But it's going to be it's going to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: be aside from being secure, it's going to be the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: most I think it's going to be the most beautiful
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: balloever I built.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, probably will be. You know, millions of presidents
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: have been calling for this ballroom. They've all said they
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: need it. There's no question about that. If you're ever
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: going to build the ballroom, obviously it would make sense
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: to do it while in the White House. You got
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: the best ballroom builder in America in office. When's that
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: going to ever happen again? You mentioned Obama trying to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: build something, or any other president a politician mentioned Joe
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Biden trying to or even George w buts. These guys
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: aren't builders. They don't know how to you know, you know,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: they fall for the every trick of every contractor. You
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: got the greatest builder in the world, the world expert
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: on building ballrooms. He's built them all over the world.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: As long as he's there in office, let's get it done. Now.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: He's going to take a while, you know, it's not
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: he's not really building it for himself. By the time
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: it's finished, he'll probably only have a few months to
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: use it. So it's really for other presidents. A pretty
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: good thing. The Epstein files, well there's a suicide note
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: now that has not been authenticated. Supposedly it's Jeffrey Epstein's
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: suicide note. The question is was it suicide or was
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: he killed that somebody strangle him. Well, there's a guy
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: in that prison who people always like to suspect was
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the guy that did it. He's an ex cop who's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I think it was Epstein's cell made at one point,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: but there a number of people online suspecting it was
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: him that might have killed Epstein. So there's a suicide note.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: The problem is the guy that we're talking about, he's
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the guy that found it. He's the guy that says
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it's Epstein's suicide note. So do we trust this other prisoner?
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know? And where's it been all along? He said,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: he knows he's being suspected of being the strangler. But
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: he said that's why he kept the note to prove
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that it was suicide, to prove his innocence. Well, if
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: that's the case, why didn't he release it the next day?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Why was he hanging on to it?
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: You might see some stories where they say it's authenticated,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: but if you read the sentence carefully, it said this
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: other guy's lawyers authenticated it. Well, that doesn't count. It
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: doesn't count. The police would have to actually authenticate it.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: There's a couple of phrases in there, one where he says,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: watch me, what do you want me to do? Burst
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: out crying? That phrase burst out crying. If you check
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the Epstein files, he has used that phrase a few times.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: So that's pretty interesting. He said. The note actually says,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: so they investigated for a month, found nothing, so sixteen
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: year old charge results. It's a treat to be able
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: to choose one time one's time to say goodbye. And
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: then he says time to say goodbye. What you want
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: me to do? Burst out crying, no fun, not worth it.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: So if this is authentic, it would indicate suicide. Epstein
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: was working on his legal case while he was in prison,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and the lawyers would come meet with him every day,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and they had met with him the day before and
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: they said he didn't seem like a guy about to
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: commit suicide. So if this turns out to be authentic,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: then that it could be pretty much a proof that
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: it was suicide. But we'll see if they can authenticate it.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: There's Epstein hearings going on and they brought in Howard
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Lutnik to testify. Now, Howard Lutnik had no relationship at
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: all with Jeffrey Epstein. He bought a big townhouse in Manhattan.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: It turned out the guy next door, the neighbor next door,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: was Jeffrey Epstein. That's how they met once or twice
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: at one time, since they were next door neighbors. Epstein said,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: let me give you a to her. My house, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: they led him through the house and they thought it
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: was kind of tacky and creepy, and they didn't really
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: want to hang around the guy. And then a lot
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: think had made a statement somewhere, but I decided never
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to be in the same room with him again. Well,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: there's a slight catch there. It turns out that he did.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: He did go to Epstein Island once. It's not what
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: you think it was. Somehow Epstein found out Lutnick would
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: be on his boat with a whole bunch of people
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: sailing around right near the island in the Caribbean. In
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: fact that Lutnik said it was a little creepy. He
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: still doesn't know how Epstein found out his schedule, knew
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: where he'd be, But when he knew that, he kept
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: bombarding Lutnick. Stop by the island, have lunch, Come by
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: the island. So Lutnick wrote back, and he said, I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: with my wife, my kids, we have nannies with another couple.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They've got kids, they've got nannies. It's like twelve of us.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And Epstein said, come anyway, come in. He so they
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: did stop. The boat was going right by the island.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: They stopped. They went and they had lunch for about
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: an hour. So Lutnik did go on the island, but
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: with like twelve people, his wife and kids and this
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: other family, and that was it. That was his only
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: real ever in so engagement ever with Epstein. And then
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: after that never spoke to him again. So he had
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: to testify yesterday. Naturally, had Democrats beat him up, accused
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: him of lying, accused him of all kinds of stuff.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Committee Chairman Comer after the testimony.
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: The only thing that I'd seen that Lutnick did wrong
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: wasn't truthful on the brief visit to the island with
• 8:20
  Speaker 5: his family. He corrected that in his opening statement, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: you know, we'll see. We'll continue our investigation and if
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: we find that there were any misstatements my Lutnik, it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: a felon, need a lot of Congress, and he'll be
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: held accountable.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it doesn't sound like it's going to be.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. And if you look through the
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Epstein files, there's really nothing about Lutnik in there except
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: just what we've told you, So that should be it.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: They're going to get Pam Bondi to come in and
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: testify with Lutnik as a transcript of it. No video.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: Democrats are pushing for transcript and video of Pam Bondi
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: when she testifies, but it's nothing's going to happen there.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: So it's just they just keep this Epstein thing going.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: They just praying somehow it hurts Trump. It only helps Trump.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: If you read the Epstein files, it's clear that he
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: hated Trump. They had briefly known each other million years ago,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: and then Trump decided he was a disgusting guy and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: cut him off, and then for the rest of his life.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Epstein's bad mouthing Trump, plotting against Trump, especially with that
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: writer Michael Wolf trying to bring down Trump. So if
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that's the connection, that really doesn't hurt Trump in anyway. Hey,
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: crazy Mom Donnie. Besides his war on the billionaires, there's
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: all kinds of I mean, this guy's going to be
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of trouble every second, everywhere, every day. Now,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: there's this NYPD captain at an event who is caught
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on viral video it went everywhere bashing Mom Donnie. But
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he's in uniform and he's on the scene at an
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: event supervising and he's attacking Mom Donnie like crazy. He's
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: total nonsense. He's an embarrassment, total nonsense. Not my mayor.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: He's a waste of human a waste of the human race. Well,
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying he's wrong. I'm just saying
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you can't say that on the job when you're on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: duty in front of a lot of people, and there
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: were a lot of people. That's how it ended up
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on video going viral. So he's been removed. He was
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: shipped away from the ninety fourth Precinct where he was
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the captain, sent to the nine to one to one
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: call center in the Bronx, which is probably not the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: dream job of anybody in the NYPD. But a lot
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: of people are attacking mom Donnie for it. Although a
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: lot of people I've talked to in the NYPD, good solid,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: responsible people, they do say, I mean, the captain was wrong.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: You can think that stuff, you can say that stuff
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: all day and night, but when you're in the job,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: on uniform, out in public, you can't say the stuff.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: So within the department there's not a lot of defense
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: for them. Now the reassignment will be till the investigation
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: is complete. The investigation, they say can take a year.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: What on earth could take a year. Well, I could
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: see if that was that Albuquerque Police department who screwed
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: up the Nancy Guthrie mother investigation. But what could take
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a year, So we'll see what happens there. The other
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: thing with Mom Donnie is a horrible thing Parky Synagogue,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Park East Synagogue one hundred. They like to think they're protesters,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: but they were violent thugs with those things tied around
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: their head, those things, the scarfs tied around their faces.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: These are violent protesters. They battled with the NYPD for hours.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Mom Donnie should be denouncing them like crazy. He's not.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: They claim to be protesting a meeting that was about
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the sale of the West Bank land to Jews. First
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: of all, that's not even true, none of this is true.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: And then Mom Donnie kind of let them know he's
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: on their side. The police did not do enough to
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: stop them. They should have been stopped immediately, shut down immediately.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: Mam Donnie did not do that. The great NYPD did
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: as much as they could to contain it, but they
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: should have been arrested, taken away. Mom Donnie still defending him.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: He made some crazy statement about that sale of the
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: West Bank that's not even true. But then he said
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it's illegal under international law. There's no such thing as
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: international law. Democrats love to use that phrase. They used
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: it with their ran the violation of international law. There
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: is no actual international law anywhere. There's no such thing.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: So the anti Semitic side of mom Donnie coming out
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: here and looking really, really bad, he should be warning
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: these thugs. You know, Bruce Blakeman had the same problem,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: and they believe it was the same group. They tried
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: the same thing out in Nassau County. Bruce Blakeman had
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the cops stopped them immediately, whole thing over in fifteen minutes,
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: just shut him down in fifteen minutes, and that was
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the end of it. Hey, Mayor Giuliani doing much better.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: He was in ICU intensive care. He's out of the ICU,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: no more intensive care. He's in a regular hospital room
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: and they expect that he'll be able to go home
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: in a couple of days. That's great news. And we'll
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: get to Ted Turner throughout the show. Ted Turner, who
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: gave us a CNN. I worked till seven o'clock.
• 13:37
  Speaker 4: When I got home, the news was over, so I
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: missed television news completely and I figured there were lots
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: of people like me.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point. You know. Back then, the
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: only television news was at six thirty, the nightly news
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: six thirty to seven, and if he got home at seven,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: that's it. There was no television news. You could see
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the local news at eleven o'clock, but that was about it.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: And well, he turned out to be right. They thought
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: he was crazy, twenty four hour news, but it worked. Well,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: we'll get into it in the next hour. We got
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: a lot to get to. We'll take some calls next.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
