0:00
Speaker 1: He's now more marks alone on seventen.
0:03
Speaker 2: War Hey, I got a lot to get to this hour.
0:10
Speaker 2: Two of the healthiest guys I know, Donald Trump Warren
0:15
Speaker 2: Buffett Trump almost eighty works day and night. You've seen
0:18
Speaker 2: them in action. Nobody has more energy. He could be
0:21
Speaker 2: in three four states in one day. He could just
0:24
Speaker 2: go NonStop all day and night. This is at seventy nine,
0:27
Speaker 2: eighty years old. And what does he eat all day? Junk?
0:31
Speaker 2: He eats McDonald's. He eats cheeseburgers, he eats, drinks those milkshakes.
0:35
Speaker 2: He eats nothing but junk all day now. Warren Buffett
0:40
Speaker 2: ninety three, ninety four years old. This guy does not
0:43
Speaker 2: eat anything except McDonald's. He said, breakfast at McDonald's, sausage
0:48
Speaker 2: and egg sandwich from McDonald's every day of his life.
0:54
Speaker 2: He eats McDonald's at night, or a steak. He eats
0:57
Speaker 2: a lot of steak. He eats candy, sees candy which
1:01
Speaker 2: is incredible candy. He bought the company years ago. Eats
1:05
Speaker 2: dairy queen all the time. He bought the company years ago,
1:09
Speaker 2: has peanut brittle for lunch, eats nothing but junk food.
1:14
Speaker 2: Has the diet of a ten year old eats junk
1:16
Speaker 2: day and night. He's ninety three, healthy as can be.
1:19
Speaker 2: How does he do it.
1:22
Speaker 3: Well?
1:22
Speaker 2: One thing Buffett always says, he gets eight hours of
1:24
Speaker 2: sleep every night, non negotiable. He said, you can worry
1:27
Speaker 2: about diet, exercise, all that, but sleep eight solid hours
1:30
Speaker 2: of good sleep every night more important for your health
1:33
Speaker 2: than anything else. He reads, he works twelve hours a day,
1:38
Speaker 2: just drinks diet coke like Trump, just drinks coke day
1:43
Speaker 2: and night. That's all. He lives on his coke, which
1:45
Speaker 2: is a lot of sugar and all that stuff. But
1:46
Speaker 2: he said what keeps him young, And it's the same
1:49
Speaker 2: thing with Trump. He loves his work, lives with like
1:53
Speaker 2: childlike joy, no stress. Both these guys have tremendous stress,
1:59
Speaker 2: but to them it's not ste Yes, they love what
2:01
Speaker 2: they're doing, so it's not stress. You know, you go
2:03
Speaker 2: out and buy a billion, four billion dollars worth of
2:06
Speaker 2: a stock. There was a little stress in that, but
2:09
Speaker 2: they don't feel it now. The only difference with Trump,
2:11
Speaker 2: he doesn't sleep eight hours and night. He doesn't. But
2:13
Speaker 2: and these this guy's as healthy as can be at
2:16
Speaker 2: that age, So you can worry about diet and all
2:19
Speaker 2: that stuff, but I don't know a lot of it
2:22
Speaker 2: is at geneticus. Donald Trump made a big speech for
2:25
Speaker 2: McDonald's executive yesterday. Speaking to McDonald's, he pointed out he
2:30
Speaker 2: was the only fry cook ever in McDonald's history to
2:33
Speaker 2: become president of the United States. He was the fry
2:35
Speaker 2: cook there for about a half hour, but he was
2:37
Speaker 2: speaking at McDonald's well.
2:38
Speaker 4: Other politicians fly around on campaign planes stocked with expensive catering.
2:43
Speaker 4: On Trump Force one prior to ascending to Air Force one,
2:48
Speaker 4: which is quite a nice plane. Also, we served only
2:51
Speaker 4: McDonald's almost every time. On occasion we couldn't find one,
2:55
Speaker 4: which is pretty hard to believe we'd go another route,
2:58
Speaker 4: but we really did. You fed us very well, and
3:00
Speaker 4: I even got Bobby Kennedy to eat a big mac.
3:04
Speaker 2: Well, don't feel guilty if you're eating the McDonald's. These
3:07
Speaker 2: two guys as healthy as anybody, and that's all they eat.
3:10
Speaker 2: Trump went on to talk about the you know this
3:14
Speaker 2: big word, affordability, the crisis. That's a crisis. You know,
3:18
Speaker 2: Biden had inflation of nine percent, Nobody mentioned it. Trump
3:21
Speaker 2: gets it down to two point five percent. It's a
3:24
Speaker 2: crisis all of a sudden, But Democrats won't let up.
3:27
Speaker 4: Nobody has done what we've done in terms of pricing.
3:31
Speaker 4: We took over a mess. We have the highest think
3:34
Speaker 4: of it, the highest inflation in the history of our country.
3:36
Speaker 4: They say, forty eight years. It was the history of
3:39
Speaker 4: our country. And now we have normal inflation. We're going
3:42
Speaker 4: to get it a little bit lower. Frankly, but we
3:45
Speaker 4: have normal. We've normalized it. We have it down to
3:48
Speaker 4: a low level. But we're going to get it a
3:49
Speaker 4: little bit lower. We want perfection.
3:52
Speaker 2: Yeah, Now, the cost of Thanksgiving, they always bring that
3:54
Speaker 2: up this time of year. Walmart did that study.
3:56
Speaker 4: Walmart came up last week and they announced that Thanksgiving
4:00
Speaker 4: this year's twenty five percent less. All of the accoutrements
4:04
Speaker 4: that Thanksgiving is twenty five percent less than was last
4:07
Speaker 4: year under sleepy Joe Biden.
4:09
Speaker 2: So now Democrats are arguing about that little Walmart's thing there.
4:16
Speaker 2: They said that they switched the Thanksgiving dinner, they switched
4:20
Speaker 2: certain things to generic versions, they had less items in
4:24
Speaker 2: the thanks Even now, it's still I trust Walmart more
4:27
Speaker 2: than I trust these crazy democrats. Scott Bessett, the Treasury secretary.
4:32
Speaker 1: Because economic damage is unacceptable. It's they call it self harm.
4:38
Speaker 1: They were willing to harm the economy of the United
4:41
Speaker 1: States to benefit a party and chaos.
4:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, now what he's talking about is the shutdown. You
4:48
Speaker 2: could say, well, what did they accomplish with the shutdown?
4:50
Speaker 2: They got nothing for it. They can find a cave
4:52
Speaker 2: they got nothing. Well, some people think the master plan
4:56
Speaker 2: was to screw up the fourth quarter. We're in the
5:00
Speaker 2: fourth quarter and when the economic fourth quarter results come in,
5:03
Speaker 2: they'll be a little less because of the shutdown. You
5:06
Speaker 2: had disruption for a month or so, total disruption. And
5:12
Speaker 2: they're worried that Democrats might try to do this every
5:16
Speaker 2: quarter because you'll get the you know, if you show
5:18
Speaker 2: four percent growth, that looks bad if you do the
5:20
Speaker 2: shutdown and maybe you knock it down to three percent growth.
5:23
Speaker 2: So they're worried they might try a shutdown every quarter
5:27
Speaker 2: just to get the numbers down. That would be a
5:29
Speaker 2: frightening thing. Mom Donnie takes over in I don't mean
5:36
Speaker 2: it's scary you, but it's January first, it's like six
5:38
Speaker 2: weeks from now, Mom Donnie takes over. He'll meet with
5:42
Speaker 2: Trump before that. Hopefully Trump will get through to him
5:45
Speaker 2: on some level. Mom Donnie talked about their big meetings.
5:48
Speaker 5: The President ran a campaign where he spoke about he
5:52
Speaker 5: promised to deliver cheaper groceries and promise to reduce the
5:54
Speaker 5: cost of living. We are seeing his actions and out
5:57
Speaker 5: of his administration of Washington leading to the exact opposite effect.
6:00
Speaker 5: Forty Yorkers, and I will go to make the case
6:04
Speaker 5: to the President and to anyone, frankly, that these are
6:07
Speaker 5: the kinds of things we need to change.
6:09
Speaker 2: Yeah. Well, actually yeah. Trump has a track record of
6:11
Speaker 2: getting prices down. He's got the price of oil down,
6:13
Speaker 2: He's got the price of many groceries down. He's got inflation,
6:16
Speaker 2: which hit nine percent under Biden, down to two point
6:19
Speaker 2: five percent. Biden's average inflation over the four years was
6:23
Speaker 2: five percent. So Trump has cut it in half already,
6:27
Speaker 2: and it'll go lower next year. You know, you can't
6:29
Speaker 2: expect him to fix the whole thing in nine months,
6:32
Speaker 2: ten months, whatever it is. It's going to take a year,
6:34
Speaker 2: a year and a half to get it really really moving.
6:38
Speaker 2: But mom, Donnie has no trackord of getting anything done. Now,
6:42
Speaker 2: this meeting will be interesting. Trump is very good when
6:45
Speaker 2: he's meeting a peer. You know, when an older CEO,
6:49
Speaker 2: a guy who's been in business for many years. Trump,
6:52
Speaker 2: you know, can negotiate with a guy like that. I
6:53
Speaker 2: don't know how good he is with a young a junior.
6:57
Speaker 2: I was gonna say a junior executive, but it has
7:00
Speaker 2: never been an executive, a thirty four year old who's
7:02
Speaker 2: never had a job, A thirty four year old, totally
7:05
Speaker 2: inexperienced guy. It's hard to negotiate with a guy like that. Now,
7:13
Speaker 2: a lot of the stuff he does when you go
7:15
Speaker 2: to see him might not work on Mom, Donnie, Mom Donnie,
7:18
Speaker 2: the crazy young socialist. You know, whenever you go to
7:20
Speaker 2: see Trump, he shows you around. He shows you all
7:22
Speaker 2: these fancy things. He shows you all these beautiful That's
7:25
Speaker 2: one reason he put all that stuff in the oval office.
7:27
Speaker 2: Whenever you come to see him, he likes to walk
7:29
Speaker 2: you around and show you things. You know, he had
7:31
Speaker 2: this actual copy of the Constitution on the wall and
7:35
Speaker 2: he opens the curtain shows it to you. Or even
7:37
Speaker 2: those paintings are those things on the desk, They're very
7:40
Speaker 2: rare historical things. So he likes to show you stuff.
7:42
Speaker 2: And that's how he starts every meeting. You know, it's
7:45
Speaker 2: a half hour of show and tell with that stuff.
7:48
Speaker 2: I don't know if Mom, Donnie, you know, he's not
7:52
Speaker 2: exactly the most lover. He's not a great lover of
7:56
Speaker 2: American history. I don't know if this stuff will resonate
7:58
Speaker 2: with him. Adam's already squabbling with Mom Donnie about this
8:04
Speaker 2: and that.
8:04
Speaker 6: I think that when you talk about not doing business
8:08
Speaker 6: with Israel, not willing to acknowledge that you're going to
8:11
Speaker 6: march in Israeli Day parade, not being willing to state
8:15
Speaker 6: you're going to come and visit Israel in other countries,
8:18
Speaker 6: it sends the wrong message and he has to define that.
8:22
Speaker 6: But I know those who are part of the DSA
8:25
Speaker 6: and those who are marched in our streets saying horrific things,
8:28
Speaker 6: that is a clear sign of anti Semitism to me.
8:31
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big problem with Mom Donnie. There's no
8:34
Speaker 2: arguing that one. But Eric Adams is in Israel as
8:37
Speaker 2: we speak. He toured the tunnels where the hostages were
8:42
Speaker 2: yesterday in Israel, making friends there, making deals. Probably there's
8:47
Speaker 2: a lot of deals to be made there. He could
8:50
Speaker 2: be useful in some ways, I guess. But this is
8:56
Speaker 2: he's not a great lover of history and historical sites.
8:58
Speaker 2: He's a lover of and dealing, And that's one reason
9:02
Speaker 2: I think he's over there. He's away. You know, this
9:06
Speaker 2: is his final six weeks in office. You think you'd
9:09
Speaker 2: be here doing stuff, but he's basically it sounds like
9:12
Speaker 2: a vacation. But after Israel tomorrow, next stop, who's Bekistan?
9:18
Speaker 7: Now?
9:18
Speaker 2: Either he's got the world's worst travel agent, Who's Bekistan?
9:23
Speaker 2: Or more deals to be made over there wheeling and dealing,
9:27
Speaker 2: or is what does Curtis call it? Whining, dining and
9:30
Speaker 2: pocket lining something going on. You know, Adams will need
9:34
Speaker 2: to make a lot of money when he leaves, and
9:36
Speaker 2: you can do that. As an ex mayor. You can
9:41
Speaker 2: become very valuable to certain interest groups who will pay
9:45
Speaker 2: you to represent them in the city. You know, you
9:47
Speaker 2: still know a lot of people in government. You can
9:48
Speaker 2: make a lot of phone calls, you can be their
9:50
Speaker 2: unofficial lobbyist. So I imagine that's what Adams is doing
9:54
Speaker 2: over there. Epstein files no vote yet, We'll see what happens.
9:59
Speaker 2: At some point they'll be released. The Democrats, I was
10:03
Speaker 2: gonna say, they're gonna have to accept it, but they won't.
10:05
Speaker 2: But at some point they're gonna have to accept that
10:07
Speaker 2: there is no Trump scandal. They keep looking into the
10:10
Speaker 2: Trump thinking there's some scandal they'll find that it would
10:14
Speaker 2: bring him down. There is no scandal nothing, There was
10:19
Speaker 2: no mortgage fraud, there was no any of this, There
10:22
Speaker 2: was nothing. There's no scandal anywhere. He's the most investigated
10:26
Speaker 2: man in the history of the world, and nobody has
10:30
Speaker 2: found a damn thing. Now you might say, well, he's
10:31
Speaker 2: convicted on seven hundred different convictions and none of them
10:34
Speaker 2: are real. They're all getting tossed out one by one.
10:37
Speaker 2: That whole Letitia James case is slowly but surely getting
10:40
Speaker 2: tossed out. They keep delaying the appeals courts because they
10:43
Speaker 2: know it's going to get tossed out. The Alvin braggcase
10:48
Speaker 2: totally going to get tossed out. Nothing there. Our greatest
10:51
Speaker 2: legal scholarship said, they still can't even figure out what
10:53
Speaker 2: the charge is. The Egen Carrol case, that's a conviction,
10:59
Speaker 2: but nobody in their right mind believes that story from
11:03
Speaker 2: this woman who can't even tell you what year it
11:05
Speaker 2: was when it happened. What was the other case, Oh, Georgia,
11:09
Speaker 2: they're still proceeding with that. Fannie Willis has been removed
11:14
Speaker 2: from the case, but nobody's taking that one too, seriously.
11:16
Speaker 2: So there's no scandal. Yeah, Stormy Daniels. Maybe maybe it's
11:19
Speaker 2: true he slept with the with the porn star strip
11:23
Speaker 2: or whatever she was. Oh listen, if you're going to
11:27
Speaker 2: throw people out because they cheated on their wife, you'd
11:29
Speaker 2: lose everybody in Congress, you'd lose half the presidents. That's
11:33
Speaker 2: everybody in Washington, DC. So there is no scandal. They
11:36
Speaker 2: keep hunting for this, thinking there's something like a Ralph Cramton. Aha,
11:43
Speaker 2: you're gonna show people and then they'll turn on Trump.
11:45
Speaker 2: You're not going to find it. If there's a case
11:47
Speaker 2: to be made against Trump, it's not with some scandal
11:51
Speaker 2: they try. They're gonna try Epstein, and that's going to
11:53
Speaker 2: be a massive failure for Democrats. Then they'll go I
11:58
Speaker 2: guess when that fails, they'll go to Gallaine Maxwell. The
12:02
Speaker 2: demand to know why she got transferred to a nice,
12:04
Speaker 2: cushy prison, Well, if you talk to people in the
12:09
Speaker 2: prosecuting or attorney business, they'll tell you, as a first
12:13
Speaker 2: time offender for a nonviolent crime, she never should have
12:16
Speaker 2: been in the other prison, the extremely bad violent prison.
12:20
Speaker 2: First time non violent offenders don't go there. The type
12:23
Speaker 2: of prison she's in now is where you would normally
12:25
Speaker 2: get sent so they simply corrected the extremism of that court. Also,
12:32
Speaker 2: a lot of experts will tell you she was over sentenced.
12:35
Speaker 2: It's not supposed to be seventeen years, supposed to be
12:38
Speaker 2: more like seven years for what she did. So at
12:41
Speaker 2: some point they'll have to just give up on that,
12:42
Speaker 2: but they never will. The other question you got to
12:47
Speaker 2: remember is why didn't Biden release these files. Biden had
12:52
Speaker 2: the Epstein files and he went through them. His Justice
12:55
Speaker 2: department went through them for four years. They never found
12:58
Speaker 2: anything on Trump they could use. They never released the files. Now,
13:01
Speaker 2: some and if you ask people in the Biden misteries,
13:04
Speaker 2: well why didn't you release the files, they'll tell you
13:07
Speaker 2: that while we were still investigating Gallaine Maxwell. Yeah, but
13:11
Speaker 2: that was year one. Then she got convicted. Well, we
13:14
Speaker 2: thought there would be appeals, and if it's an appeal,
13:16
Speaker 2: we can't release the file. Okay, that's year two three.
13:20
Speaker 2: Why didn't you, Well, there might have been ongoing adjacent investigations.
13:24
Speaker 2: We didn't want to come. It doesn't it doesn't pass
13:28
Speaker 2: the smell test those explanations. Let me check and see
13:31
Speaker 2: if Twitter is back there was a big internet outage.
13:34
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it looks like it's back. The cloud that
13:39
Speaker 2: they used cloud Fare went out this morning. So if
13:42
Speaker 2: your Twitter wasn't working or some of your websites, there
13:45
Speaker 2: was a huge internet outage this morning. That's the reason. Hey,
13:49
Speaker 2: next week is Thanksgiving. It's the week before Thanksgiving. I'm
13:52
Speaker 2: starting to hear that Christmas music everywhere. I got to
13:55
Speaker 2: go down the hall the light FM. Are they playing
13:57
Speaker 2: Christmas music yet?
13:59
Speaker 8: Oh?
13:59
Speaker 2: It starts for the Christmas music right? Hey, who might argue?
14:04
Speaker 2: It gets enormous, enormous ratings, unbelievable ratings. It's basically one
14:10
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five songs. There's one hundred and twenty
14:13
Speaker 2: five big Christmas hits. They just rotate them over and
14:16
Speaker 2: over again for a month and a half. But it
14:18
Speaker 2: does very very well. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
14:22
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
14:26
Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
14:31
Speaker 2: Get hits and access to Mark by setting a freeset
14:34
Speaker 2: in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and podcast.
14:38
Speaker 2: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on wor. Hey,
14:43
Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Harry in Long Valley.
14:47
Speaker 2: Where is Long Valley?
14:48
Speaker 9: Harry, Well, it's not too far from Morstown, New Jersey
14:52
Speaker 9: or Hackettstown.
14:53
Speaker 8: Oh, okay, probably right in the middle. I was just
14:56
Speaker 8: listening to This Morning, Mark and good morning. You're talking
14:59
Speaker 8: about the epscene files, and there's another side of the
15:01
Speaker 8: story which I just want to get your opinion on.
15:04
Speaker 8: I know there the far left Democrats are looking for
15:08
Speaker 8: something on Trump. There they o the Trump's arrangement syndrome.
15:12
Speaker 8: But what about the far left party itself bringing this
15:16
Speaker 8: to a head in Congress? They want it out right now?
15:19
Speaker 8: Is it possible? And here's the point, is it possible?
15:22
Speaker 8: They want to purge their own party of the older
15:29
Speaker 8: like Schumer types.
15:31
Speaker 2: Those are the types want they want to There are
15:33
Speaker 2: types they're usually going to be in there. Yeah, you're right,
15:34
Speaker 2: it's a good point. There's a lot of those old
15:38
Speaker 2: elitist establishment Democrats in there that'll get wiped out. But
15:42
Speaker 2: there's a lot of their donors in there. There's a
15:44
Speaker 2: lot of big CEOs in there. There's no Trump in
15:46
Speaker 2: these files. You're going to be very, very disappointed when
15:49
Speaker 2: you see everything. Let's go to Richard in Granwich, Connecticut. Richard,

17:11
Speaker 2: Johnny Carson. Just go order it. You'll thank me. You'll read.
17:14
Speaker 2: It's a little good Christmas present too for somebody. Let's
17:18
Speaker 2: go to uh Patrick in Westchester. Patrick, how you doing fine?
17:21
Speaker 9: Mark?
17:22
Speaker 3: How are you today?
17:22
Speaker 2: I'm good?
17:23
Speaker 7: How are you good? Good?
17:24
Speaker 8: Well?
17:25
Speaker 3: We love listening to your show and I think you
17:27
Speaker 3: have the best guests of anybody on radio. I just
17:30
Speaker 3: wanted with thinking of an update on a past guest,
17:34
Speaker 3: Michael Reedle, can you update us on what's new with him?
17:37
Speaker 2: Uh, he's doing well. He's been in Florida a lot.
17:40
Speaker 2: He's working on another book. Actually right, we should get
17:42
Speaker 2: him back on the show sometimes. Good idea. Let's go
17:45
Speaker 2: to Tony in White Plains. Tony, how you doing?
17:49
Speaker 7: Yeah?
17:49
Speaker 11: Good morning, Mark. I don't talk about this news Combe
17:52
Speaker 11: the governor California. What a joke this guys. He leaves
17:56
Speaker 11: the country. He's talking about the biggest hopes we ever had,
17:58
Speaker 11: climate change. Meantime, California burned it down kind of, he's
18:04
Speaker 11: responsible part of it. And the water situation and over there,
18:07
Speaker 11: and Mark, can I say one more thing? You remember
18:10
Speaker 11: the movies like in the fifties, you know, the black
18:12
Speaker 11: and white and all that Newscombe. You know what it
18:14
Speaker 11: reminds me of. You ever see a soda judge like
18:17
Speaker 11: in a candy store with that paper hat on. That's
18:19
Speaker 11: what it reminds you every time I see him on TV.
18:22
Speaker 2: All right, well, thanks for calling. I hate to break
18:24
Speaker 2: it to you. He's the front runner for twenty twenty eight.
18:27
Speaker 2: And check historically, whoever's the Democrat front runner at this
18:31
Speaker 2: point usually gets the nomination. But it's a long way off.
18:35
Speaker 2: But you're right, he's he's slick. He's a salesman. He's
18:39
Speaker 2: not a manager, just a salesman. California is a mess.
18:43
Speaker 2: Even after those terrible fires. You know, ninety eight percent
18:46
Speaker 2: of those people are not backing their homes yet. Because
18:48
Speaker 2: Newsom is busy making podcasts and doing guest appearances, doesn't
18:53
Speaker 2: have time to run the state. Let's go to Vincent
18:56
Speaker 2: and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
18:58
Speaker 7: Good morning, Mark, Good morning battle to them, fire Mark Mark.
19:01
Speaker 7: In regards to the housing and affordability crisis, I don't
19:05
Speaker 7: know who suggested that Donald Trump the idea of a
19:09
Speaker 7: fifty year mortgage. Because I say this, I'm a senior citizen,
19:14
Speaker 7: and I know a lot of seniors listen to your show,
19:17
Speaker 7: because that is not a great idea. Most people don't
19:21
Speaker 7: want to be paying off for mortgage in their senior years,
19:25
Speaker 7: and even worse, have their children pay off their mortgage
19:28
Speaker 7: in debts. Most parents, by the time they retire their
19:33
Speaker 7: kids have grown, they want to sell their original house
19:36
Speaker 7: that they raise, their family, cash out, take some profits,
19:40
Speaker 7: and downsize to a smaller home, maybe in a low
19:45
Speaker 7: tax state like Florida Tennessee. But that is not a
19:51
Speaker 7: good idea at all, because if most people when if
19:55
Speaker 7: they get married at twenty five, they're not even ready
19:58
Speaker 7: to raise the down talking about if the house is
20:01
Speaker 7: a million dollars, you got to put ten percent down.
20:04
Speaker 7: You're talking about one hundred thousand dollars. That's going to
20:08
Speaker 7: take them time to raise that money. They're gonna maybe
20:10
Speaker 7: be in their their thirties unless they get help from
20:13
Speaker 7: their parents. And so by the time when they pay
20:17
Speaker 7: off a fifty year mortgage, you're lucky if you live
20:20
Speaker 7: to eighty years old. And what happens like us happened
20:24
Speaker 7: to some friends of mine in Italy, The people all
20:27
Speaker 7: the way a couple of miles down the road, bought
20:30
Speaker 7: houses years ago that they figured in their golden years,
20:34
Speaker 7: they'd sell make some money on it, and downsize and
20:38
Speaker 7: live out the rest of their life in style and class.
20:42
Speaker 7: The neighborhood went down the toilet, like a lot of
20:45
Speaker 7: neighborhoods are in New York, and they can't even get
20:49
Speaker 7: half the original price they pay for it. Their style
20:54
Speaker 7: is a.
20:54
Speaker 2: Little doom and gloom. That does happen. But there's other
20:56
Speaker 2: neighborhoods where you buy a cheap house and next thing
20:59
Speaker 2: you know, years later it's the hottest neighborhood in the air.
21:01
Speaker 7: But you don't pay mark, You don't pay all for
21:04
Speaker 7: fifty year mortgage.
21:07
Speaker 2: Most people, well, even if you had to pay it off,
21:09
Speaker 2: you can, you can go sell it and still get
21:11
Speaker 2: a profit.
21:12
Speaker 7: And still and if you got a fifty year mortgage
21:15
Speaker 7: and you're only get five years paid that mortgage, you
21:18
Speaker 7: didn't even pay off all the interest on that. You
21:21
Speaker 7: can't even get a lot of acquity added that because
21:24
Speaker 7: most of it you didn't even pay off the interest
21:26
Speaker 7: the first yea.
21:27
Speaker 2: Well, Vin's a good point, no fifty year mortgage, but
21:30
Speaker 2: he's just throwing out ideas.
21:31
Speaker 7: That yeah, and it's a bad idea, all right, I
21:33
Speaker 7: had a good idea.
21:34
Speaker 2: Well you convinced me. All right, Well, a great call,
21:36
Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Uh hey, when we come back, we'll
21:39
Speaker 2: talk to the Dean himself, the greatest analyst of campaigns
21:43
Speaker 2: and politics. Will get to Ed Rollins. Coming up next
21:46
Speaker 2: on seven to ten wore.
21:48
Speaker 4: The Mark Simone Show continues on seven ten woor.
21:54
Speaker 2: Well, let's talk to the dean himself, Ed Rollins, the
21:57
Speaker 2: greatest political analyst. I have always worked on a million campaigns,
22:00
Speaker 2: run the biggest best campaigns ever, Ed Rollins, How you doing?
22:05
Speaker 9: Good morning?
22:05
Speaker 8: How are you?
22:06
Speaker 2: I'm good. I'm looking at the President's schedule. I mean,
22:09
Speaker 2: this guy used to be in New York having fun
22:11
Speaker 2: all day. Now he's meeting with Saudi leaders. Who wants
22:15
Speaker 2: to spend the whole day with these Saudi leaders? You've
22:17
Speaker 2: been in these meetings? What do they do in these meetings?
22:21
Speaker 9: Well, I think this is a Trump retirement fund for
22:23
Speaker 9: his kids. The reality here is, you know, the Saudi
22:29
Speaker 9: prince who's being treated like I have a state and
22:31
Speaker 9: will be eventually when his father passed away, which could
22:33
Speaker 9: be a year old, two years. But he seems to
22:38
Speaker 9: be getting everything and not giving anything, you know, And
22:42
Speaker 9: I sort of compressed her with the day today as
22:44
Speaker 9: you see, the women who are victims of Epstein dominated
22:48
Speaker 9: all the network network and all the cable news this
22:51
Speaker 9: morning for a couple of hours, certainly will today. And
22:54
Speaker 9: then you have this Saudi prince coming in here basically
22:57
Speaker 9: is getting r F thirty five. He's going to buy them. Uh,
23:01
Speaker 9: he's now gonna have the only jet kind of jet,
23:03
Speaker 9: the super jet in the world with the Israelis, and
23:07
Speaker 9: he's not giving us anything at this point in time. Us,
23:09
Speaker 9: when you make a deal, you get something, They get something.
23:12
Speaker 9: And the only thing I see is the President getting
23:14
Speaker 9: at this point in time is the ability to be
23:17
Speaker 9: a long term with facauts. I mean, it's certainly certainly
23:23
Speaker 9: raises political issues that the Democrats will exploit. And I
23:26
Speaker 9: look at everything from a political perspective.
23:28
Speaker 2: And if we're good, if we're giving them these top weapons.
23:32
Speaker 2: Shaudi's have a habit of sharing stuff with the Chinese,
23:35
Speaker 2: don't they That's not good.
23:36
Speaker 9: Well, they do, and the Russians and everybody else. And
23:39
Speaker 9: the key thing in the past, whenever we sold our supergenses,
23:42
Speaker 9: we always made sure that they don't get every part
23:45
Speaker 9: of it. They don't get all the controls, all their
23:47
Speaker 9: weapons systems, what have you. So I don't know what
23:49
Speaker 9: the details are in these particular things. They have thirty
23:51
Speaker 9: fives or is ready the only ones that have them
23:54
Speaker 9: at this time. We've made some deals with the Polished
23:56
Speaker 9: to sell some of them in the future, but we
23:57
Speaker 9: haven't done that yet, So I just I just worry
24:00
Speaker 9: about it. I just don't think it's a good deal
24:02
Speaker 9: for us at this point in time, and I think
24:03
Speaker 9: the timing of it is terrible. And every day the
24:05
Speaker 9: time he is and we're not getting anything back at
24:09
Speaker 9: this point in time.
24:10
Speaker 2: So yeah, back to the Democrats. So they spending so
24:13
Speaker 2: much time of this Epstein stuff, they're not focusing on
24:15
Speaker 2: what you just brought up. They're going to miss this.
24:19
Speaker 9: Well, I think they're going to miss the night. I
24:22
Speaker 9: always worry about Republicans. I don't worry about the Democrats,
24:26
Speaker 9: you know. I mean, at the end of the day,
24:28
Speaker 9: if we do our job well, we can win campaigns,
24:32
Speaker 9: and we're gonna have a terrible year next year if
24:34
Speaker 9: we're not careful, if we don't improve on everything, re
24:37
Speaker 9: Element can go back and look at everything that happened
24:39
Speaker 9: to us last Tuesday and improve on those things. And
24:41
Speaker 9: you know, obviously we could have a bad mid term,
24:44
Speaker 9: nowhere near as bad as in the past. But you know,
24:46
Speaker 9: we've got a handful of seats to the majority of
24:48
Speaker 9: both the House of the Senate. If you lose ten
24:51
Speaker 9: to fifteen seats, you know you're gonna look very tough
24:55
Speaker 9: the last couple of.
24:55
Speaker 2: Years here, Okay, butt's say six seven, eight months from now,
24:59
Speaker 2: the economy is doing well, prices are down. Is that
25:02
Speaker 2: all it takes or is it still tough?
25:04
Speaker 9: Well, it's certainly, it's certainly be very beneficial. And this
25:07
Speaker 9: you know, let's hope at this point in time, and
25:10
Speaker 9: at the end of the day, you've got to go
25:12
Speaker 9: out and make your case for why all this stuff
25:14
Speaker 9: is good. And today, you know, in the presence doing
25:16
Speaker 9: all this international stuff, which is all part of the job.
25:20
Speaker 9: Don't take that away from them. But at the same time,
25:22
Speaker 9: it becomes more of his interest, I think as it
25:26
Speaker 9: is domestic. Domestic is what people are going to vote
25:28
Speaker 9: on them, and whether we go to war with Venezuela
25:31
Speaker 9: or any of the rest of it is certainly a
25:33
Speaker 9: great distraction at Rolins.
25:35
Speaker 2: Now you've been involved in this for years. Let me
25:37
Speaker 2: ask you something, you ever see a crop of people
25:39
Speaker 2: like this, mom, Donnie or AOC, these crazy left wing socialists,
25:43
Speaker 2: although slick, charming, fast talking, have we ever seen a
25:48
Speaker 2: period like this before where these guys were taken over?
25:51
Speaker 9: No After after Watergate, the Democrats had a big year
25:55
Speaker 9: in seventy four and they came back and they tried
25:57
Speaker 9: to take a lot more power back to the Palace
26:01
Speaker 9: and took us seventy eight years to come back. At
26:03
Speaker 9: that point in time, people were saying, you know, we'll
26:05
Speaker 9: never be another Republican come back to this. When Nixon
26:08
Speaker 9: was housted, uh eight years later back in the White
26:11
Speaker 9: House again. But you've got to have the right leaders,
26:14
Speaker 9: the right people. I mean, to a certain extent, we've
26:16
Speaker 9: got we've got a couple of real hard years in
26:18
Speaker 9: this year, and we've got to make up some ground
26:20
Speaker 9: on particularly after after that last week. If we were
26:24
Speaker 9: losing Hispanic voters, losing may some male voters we got
26:27
Speaker 9: last time president President had a magical election last time.
26:31
Speaker 9: You can't take that for granted. You got to go
26:33
Speaker 9: back and work make sure those people are for you.
26:36
Speaker 9: And obviously the economy is critical. That's what people want.
26:38
Speaker 9: And that's what you've got to make sure all your
26:40
Speaker 9: time and it's just devoted there.
26:43
Speaker 1: Uh.
26:43
Speaker 2: You know, if you really analyzed the mayoral stuff, the
26:46
Speaker 2: voting Mom, Donnie did not win the working class, the
26:50
Speaker 2: blue collar working class. Most of the votes came from
26:52
Speaker 2: the elitist over educated grass. Yeah yeah, young. So uh,
26:58
Speaker 2: how do you how do you get those able to
27:00
Speaker 2: see reality?
27:02
Speaker 9: Well, you got to go out and talk to them.
27:04
Speaker 9: I mean the reality of how you win in New York,
27:07
Speaker 9: which is the key thing here is you got to
27:09
Speaker 9: you gotta make sure you don't lose New York by
27:12
Speaker 9: half a million votes, and you gotta win Westchester. You're
27:15
Speaker 9: gotta win Nasa, you gotta win Suffolk.
27:18
Speaker 7: Uh.
27:19
Speaker 9: And you know you gotta make sure those people are
27:21
Speaker 9: all in the game. Fully, there's a formula I you
27:25
Speaker 9: can win it attack he did it. A lot of
27:28
Speaker 9: did it for a long time. But it's not it's
27:31
Speaker 9: not accidentally. You gotta go out to work hard and
27:32
Speaker 9: make sure that all works hard in that state. Place
27:36
Speaker 9: like Buffalo whatever. They used to be a very significant
27:39
Speaker 9: vote for us, This half a million voter. When I
27:41
Speaker 9: used to work for Jack Kemp, it was this chamber
27:43
Speaker 9: on around for president. There are half a million more
27:45
Speaker 9: people in Buffalo and those were the blue collar jobs
27:49
Speaker 9: and what have you. We gotta go out and make
27:50
Speaker 9: sure the blue collar voters are our voters. Got to
27:52
Speaker 9: make sure the Hispanic progress we made the last election
27:55
Speaker 9: that we can gain again. We didn't get it this
27:58
Speaker 9: time and those two retermal election, but we've got to
28:01
Speaker 9: make sure that those voters care about them and that
28:04
Speaker 9: the way we're doing the immigration stuff, I think to
28:06
Speaker 9: a certain extent, is not as smooth an effect that
28:09
Speaker 9: those it should be.
28:10
Speaker 2: Hey, you get these people that are Republicans are run
28:13
Speaker 2: around yelling a Republican can never win in New York City.
28:15
Speaker 2: A Republican now I'm hearing it for governor. Republican can't
28:18
Speaker 2: win for governor. This is not helping anybody to keep
28:21
Speaker 2: chanting this is it?
28:23
Speaker 9: No, it's not. The reality is we can When we
28:26
Speaker 9: had a point in time where we had had a
28:28
Speaker 9: lot of Republicans here, we had attacking was governor for
28:31
Speaker 9: twelve years, we had Giuliani as mayor, we had Tomorrow
28:35
Speaker 9: as the center, and you know, we just have to
28:38
Speaker 9: go out and execute them. And my senses, we just
28:42
Speaker 9: haven't had a good plan. We just we just we
28:45
Speaker 9: focused too much attention to the things that aren't no
28:47
Speaker 9: matter to people. You have to go out and talk
28:49
Speaker 9: to people, registered voters, the strong party, build a strong
28:52
Speaker 9: party the next year, and decide where you're gonna get
28:56
Speaker 9: your votes.
28:57
Speaker 2: Yeah, that Republican Party in New York. Not a lot
28:59
Speaker 2: of in for structure there and not a lot of manpower.
29:01
Speaker 2: What can we do about that?
29:03
Speaker 9: You got to get to raise money. Uh, and you've
29:05
Speaker 9: got to basically make sure that people understand the value
29:08
Speaker 9: of spending money beyond the the city. You got to
29:12
Speaker 9: get say to Tassa, Suffolk, Westchester, upstate. Uh, that's how
29:18
Speaker 9: you win stay wide here in New York.
29:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, ed Ronins, we only got a minute left, mom, Donnie.
29:23
Speaker 2: When he takes over, will he be a lot worse
29:25
Speaker 2: than we thought? Will he be not quite as bad
29:27
Speaker 2: as we thought?
29:28
Speaker 9: What do you think he'll be worse than we thought?
29:30
Speaker 9: Because the people people, well, the people who's gonna put
29:33
Speaker 9: around him. Uh, you know, he's he's one guy, but
29:36
Speaker 9: he's got a lot of power. But the people he's
29:39
Speaker 9: gonna put he bring back with the blosild people, he's
29:42
Speaker 9: bringing back a lot of people that, you know, it's
29:44
Speaker 9: not like he's calling a sudden going to the business cometing
29:46
Speaker 9: and say, hey, you give me your best and your
29:47
Speaker 9: right is uh, today's going to his socialist friends and saying,
29:51
Speaker 9: you know, you want a job in government. I think
29:53
Speaker 9: he's made a good move. And hopefully Tissh will stay
29:55
Speaker 9: as a police commissioner. But if she does, I don't know.
30:00
Speaker 9: I've got a job to me, has the most important
30:03
Speaker 9: job right now in the city.
30:05
Speaker 2: Well, it round's great stuff. Thanks for talking with this.
30:07
Speaker 2: We'll do it again, sir, all right, take take care. Hey,
30:11
Speaker 2: don't forget. At noon it's Buck Sexton, Klay Travis. This
30:14
Speaker 2: is a great show every day at twelve, then at
30:17
Speaker 2: three o'clock. You got to most listen to radio show
30:19
Speaker 2: in America, Sean Hannity. You got Jesse Kelly at six
30:22
Speaker 2: and our new show is Jimmy Fayala every night nine
30:25
Speaker 2: at midnight, a very funny, interesting, great show nine to midnight.
30:30
Speaker 2: Tonight on seven to ten Wry.
30:33
Speaker 8: Still Mark samone show on seven ten wr.
30:39
Speaker 2: Well, hey, we're talking about Gavin Newsom. Before you know,
30:43
Speaker 2: he's supposed to be the governor of California. It doesn't
30:45
Speaker 2: have time for that though. He's running around making campaign appearances.
30:48
Speaker 2: He's running around fundraising, he's running around doing podcasts. But
30:53
Speaker 2: so far, you know, you have this terrible Palisades fires,
30:57
Speaker 2: and so far more than seventy two percent of the
31:00
Speaker 2: victims are still in temporary housing. This is quite a
31:04
Speaker 2: while since those fires they destroyed seven thousand structures, killed
31:09
Speaker 2: twelve people, Pacific Palisades, Malibu. He keeps trying to shift
31:16
Speaker 2: attention away from the fires, but had seventy two percent
31:19
Speaker 2: of those victims still in temporary housing now. At some point,
31:26
Speaker 2: Mike Johnson is talking about in Congress possibly a subpoena
31:30
Speaker 2: at a newsom to explain the total failure of his
31:35
Speaker 2: state during the Palisades fires, why they failed on everything
31:39
Speaker 2: as far as prevention, why they failed during the fires,
31:43
Speaker 2: and why they have failed to get people back to
31:46
Speaker 2: a normal existence. And it could be interesting watching him testify,
31:50
Speaker 2: although he can be pretty slick. And you know, these
31:53
Speaker 2: crazy Democrats, if you look slick and you're a fast talker,
31:57
Speaker 2: they love what you're saying. Even though you got no resume,
32:01
Speaker 2: never had a job, or you got a job and
32:04
Speaker 2: you stink at it and you screwed up your state.
32:06
Speaker 2: You got more people leaving California than any other state,
32:10
Speaker 2: people voting with their feet and fleeing. So let's see
32:14
Speaker 2: today at the White House President Trump with Saudi leaders MBS.
32:21
Speaker 2: The controversial character. A lot of people don't like this meeting.
32:26
