Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, this is Mark Simon Show on seven tenor.
- 0:09Speaker 2: Well, hey, the Epstein Files. The vote is coming today.
- 0:12Speaker 2: We'll get to that. We'll get to mom, Donnie and
- 0:13Speaker 2: all the latest. We'll get to Thanksgiving. We'll get to
- 0:16Speaker 2: twenty twenty eight. There is a front runner and what
- 0:19Speaker 2: are the odds of that front runner getting a nomination.
- 0:21Speaker 2: We'll get to Kathy Hockel, You're not gonna like this.
- 0:25Speaker 2: We'll get to Trump's schedule for the day, some controversial meetings,
- 0:30Speaker 2: and we'll get to Tariff's and a whole lot more so.
- 0:34Speaker 2: If you woke up this morning and try to check
- 0:36Speaker 2: Twitter or a lot of sites, they were down. There
- 0:39Speaker 2: was a big internet outage. Cloud Fair, the big Internet
- 0:45Speaker 2: cloud that supports all of that, so chat GPT was down.
- 0:49Speaker 2: Number of sites were down. If you go into some
- 0:51Speaker 2: of your favorite websites and they're not working. Internet outage.
- 0:55Speaker 2: The biggest one was Twitter x being totally disabled. By
- 1:00Speaker 2: now they're looking at whether it was some sort of
- 1:01Speaker 2: hack or something. They're saying there was unusual traffic that
- 1:05Speaker 2: caused it. That sounds like a hack, but we'll see
- 1:08Speaker 2: that's the most frightening hack of all. Imagine if somebody
- 1:11Speaker 2: knocked out the internet? How would you exist? How would
- 1:13Speaker 2: you survive? You know, if you've got in a time
- 1:16Speaker 2: machine and you went back about twenty five years, thirty years,
- 1:20Speaker 2: you wouldn't know what to do all day. You could
- 1:25Speaker 2: watch TV, you could make phone calls on a landline,
- 1:29Speaker 2: you could read an actual physical newspaper, but when you're
- 1:34Speaker 2: walking around you'd have nothing. Nothing. How do you check
- 1:39Speaker 2: your email? Well, it didn't exist back then. You'd have
- 1:41Speaker 2: to wait to get a letter in the mail. It
- 1:42Speaker 2: was a very strange world back then. Now Epstein Files
- 1:48Speaker 2: House will vote today. They are expected to vote overwhelmingly
- 1:54Speaker 2: to release all the files. Then it goes to the
- 1:57Speaker 2: Senate and we'll see what the Senate does. Most likely
- 2:00Speaker 2: vote to release it. Now, remember the president has control
- 2:04Speaker 2: of the files. He could release him anytime. Now here's
- 2:07Speaker 2: the other products. They vote to release them. When would
- 2:11Speaker 2: that happen? Well, believe it or not? What's today? Tuesday?
- 2:14Speaker 2: Thursday is the final day of Congress. Then they go
- 2:16Speaker 2: on like an eleven day vacation for Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's right,
- 2:21Speaker 2: So it wouldn't happen till well after the Thanksgiving holiday.
- 2:25Speaker 2: But the president, if he wants to could start releasing
- 2:27Speaker 2: them tonight or good time to release him was during Thanksgiving,
- 2:31Speaker 2: during the vacation members way, or Friday night. Just release
- 2:34Speaker 2: him Friday night, could start doing that, he has said,
- 2:39Speaker 2: and he's got a good point. It's basically democrats in
- 2:43Speaker 2: the file. Trumps asked yesterday all day about the Hey,
- 2:46Speaker 2: by the way, his voice is hoarse yesterday, he's got
- 2:49Speaker 2: a horse voice and it's a raspy voice. Now he
- 2:52Speaker 2: actually told reporters he's not sick. He said he was
- 2:55Speaker 2: yelling at somebody for a long time and that's why
- 2:57Speaker 2: he was horse yelling at another country and a trade deal.
- 3:01Speaker 3: I feel great.
- 3:02Speaker 4: I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
- 3:06Speaker 4: something having to do with.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Trade in a country, and I straightened it out.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Yeah, so they were fighting about tariffs, and now Democrats
- 3:16Speaker 2: will tell you how bad tariffs are. They'll argue against tariffs.
- 3:18Speaker 2: They'll keep screaming about tariffs because if you put a
- 3:21Speaker 2: tariff on a corporation or a business, it's going to
- 3:25Speaker 2: cause them to have to raise their prices. So if
- 3:28Speaker 2: you think, well, that sounds good, you got to remember
- 3:31Speaker 2: nobody puts more tariffs on businesses than Democrats. They call
- 3:35Speaker 2: it corporate tax increase. Increase the corporate tax, Well, that's
- 3:40Speaker 2: a tariff. It's just done here in this country. So
- 3:43Speaker 2: if you think tariffs would make the price of goods
- 3:46Speaker 2: go up, obviously, if you increase the corporate tax, if
- 3:50Speaker 2: you raise the tax rates on those corporations, that's a tariff.
- 3:54Speaker 2: It's going to cause exactly the same price increase, in
- 3:57Speaker 2: fact more of a price increase, because there's really nothing
- 4:00Speaker 2: to do when you do tariffs. It's coming from another country.
- 4:03Speaker 2: So there's another company involved, and there's like three middle
- 4:05Speaker 2: men in between. Some of them can all take a
- 4:08Speaker 2: little cut and avoid the price increase. But when you
- 4:11Speaker 2: put the tariff on the corporation in the United States
- 4:14Speaker 2: and you call it an increase in corporate tax, there's
- 4:18Speaker 2: no middle men, nobody. The corporation has to raise the price.
- 4:21Speaker 2: So Trump, with his raspy voice, was asked about the
- 4:25Speaker 2: Epstein files, and he's all for releasing him.
- 4:27Speaker 4: We have nothing to do with Epstein. With Democrats. All
- 4:31Speaker 4: of his friends were Democrats. You look at this Redhoff
- 4:34Speaker 4: and you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton, they went to.
- 4:38Speaker 3: His island all the time. Many of this oral Democrats.
- 4:41Speaker 2: Now he's got a point there. Trump had nothing to
- 4:43Speaker 2: do with Epstein. He was friendly with him a million
- 4:45Speaker 2: years ago for a year or two, found out what
- 4:47Speaker 2: he was up to, cut him off, threw him out
- 4:49Speaker 2: of mar a Lago. That's twenty years ago. So that
- 4:52Speaker 2: was the end of Epstein. F him twenty one years ago. Actually,
- 4:55Speaker 2: but all his friends were Democrats. Now, I'm sure there's
- 4:58Speaker 2: a couple of Republicans mixed in there, I'm sure, but
- 5:01Speaker 2: you got to remember one of the reasons all his
- 5:03Speaker 2: friends are Democrats. Epstein was a guy operating in New York,
- 5:06Speaker 2: the Upper East Side, in a democratic world. In the
- 5:09Speaker 2: world that Epstein existed in, it was mostly you know,
- 5:12Speaker 2: it's like New York politics, it's mostly Democrats. So you
- 5:17Speaker 2: know Larry Summers Harvard. By the way, Larry Summers was
- 5:20Speaker 2: the president of Harvard. He was Clinton's treasury secretary. He's
- 5:24Speaker 2: the first victim of these Epstein files being released. Now,
- 5:28Speaker 2: some of them got released because they came from the
- 5:30Speaker 2: estate of Jeffrey Epstein, which had all of his texts
- 5:33Speaker 2: in his emails. That the Larry Summers stuff has been released,
- 5:36Speaker 2: it's very embarrassing. He's a married man who's running around
- 5:40Speaker 2: with women all over the world, and he's Larry Summers.
- 5:43Speaker 2: He's not exactly a dashing playboy type, so he's not
- 5:47Speaker 2: very good with these women. So he's constantly texting Epstein
- 5:52Speaker 2: for advice. You know, she told me this, She said,
- 5:54Speaker 2: she's busy. What do I do? I was supposed to
- 5:57Speaker 2: see her this weekend. She canceled. What do I do?
- 5:59Speaker 2: He's begging Epstein for advice on how to woo these
- 6:02Speaker 2: women or win them back, and one of them even
- 6:05Speaker 2: calls Epsteins wingman. So it's embarrassing. Now this is Larry Summers,
- 6:11Speaker 2: who has he just said he's going to withdraw. Now
- 6:16Speaker 2: he put out a statement at Harvard. I am deeply
- 6:20Speaker 2: ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused,
- 6:24Speaker 2: Somers wrote, I take full responsibility for my misguided decision
- 6:29Speaker 2: to continue communicating with mister Epstein. So he's not apologizing
- 6:35Speaker 2: for what he did, the cheating the women, He's just
- 6:38Speaker 2: apologizing for communicating with mister Epstein. And you gotta wonder
- 6:43Speaker 2: what kind of idiot puts this in writing? Why is
- 6:45Speaker 2: he texting this and emailing this? Why don't you call him?
- 6:48Speaker 2: You know certain things you don't put it in writing,
- 6:50Speaker 2: you call and you do it verbally. You remember Pauline
- 6:54Speaker 2: and Goodfellows. He said, you never talk on the phone
- 6:58Speaker 2: if you can talk in person, and you're never talk
- 7:01Speaker 2: in person if you can nod. So Larry Summer's got
- 7:05Speaker 2: to learn this stuff. If he's gonna do all this cheating,
- 7:07Speaker 2: Summers is withdrawing from a public stuff. What is that? Well,
- 7:14Speaker 2: he has a lot of roles. He's a senior fellow
- 7:16Speaker 2: at the think tank Center for American Progress. That's one
- 7:20Speaker 2: of those left wing kook sites, the one of those
- 7:22Speaker 2: Soros funded kind of deals. He's a paid columnist with
- 7:25Speaker 2: Bloomberg News, another left wing thing. He's a board member
- 7:29Speaker 2: at Open AI's. He says he will remain as a
- 7:33Speaker 2: professor at Harvard, but he will while continue to fulfilling
- 7:39Speaker 2: my teaching obligations. He says, I will be stepping back
- 7:42Speaker 2: from public commitments as part of my broader effort. So
- 7:48Speaker 2: he's one of the first guys just to be damaged,
- 7:50Speaker 2: his career messed up by Epstein. The files listen, there's
- 7:56Speaker 2: no such thing as a client list. Epstein did not
- 7:59Speaker 2: have a secon business. There were always a lot of
- 8:02Speaker 2: women at his parties of all ages, these young girls.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Epstein liked the young girls. That was for him, that
- 8:09Speaker 2: was his little fetish, these young girls. Now, there may
- 8:11Speaker 2: have been a friend or two that got involved with that.
- 8:15Speaker 2: Prince Andrews believed had gotten involved with that, but you're
- 8:19Speaker 2: not going to find. There's no such thing as a
- 8:20Speaker 2: client list. He wasn't running a sex business. The only
- 8:23Speaker 2: client list he had was for his wealth management business.
- 8:26Speaker 2: And that's only about six names. Here's more of Trump
- 8:29Speaker 2: on Epstein.
- 8:29Speaker 3: No matter what we gave, it's never enough.
- 8:31Speaker 4: You know. With Kennedy, we gave everything, and it wasn't enough.
- 8:35Speaker 4: With Martin Luther King, we gave everything, and it's never enough.
- 8:39Speaker 4: We've already given I believe the number is fifty thousand pages.
- 8:44Speaker 3: Fifty thousand pages, and it's just.
- 8:47Speaker 4: A Russia Russia Russia hoax as it pertains to the Republicans.
- 8:51Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got a good point there. If they release
- 8:53Speaker 2: everything in the world democrats in the media, you know
- 8:56Speaker 2: how crazy they get with their Trump Arrangement syndrome, they'll
- 8:59Speaker 2: be screaming and the things have been redacted. It's a
- 9:02Speaker 2: cover up. They destroyed, they scrubbed. No matter what you release,
- 9:07Speaker 2: it won't be enough. You know, the assassination attempt on
- 9:10Speaker 2: President Trump. There's a good example. There's an excellent example.
- 9:14Speaker 2: We're watching live on TV as a guy shoots at him,
- 9:18Speaker 2: and Democrats in the media, many of them, you remember this.
- 9:21Speaker 2: They started saying it wasn't real and if you look
- 9:23Speaker 2: at his ear, the way the blood came out wasn't real.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It was obviously faked. It was obviously stage. Well, what
- 9:29Speaker 2: about the guy that got shot behind him and his
- 9:31Speaker 2: dead well that who They changed the subject. It's always
- 9:34Speaker 2: these weird conspiracy theories. So no matter what is released,
- 9:38Speaker 2: it won't be enough.
- 9:39Speaker 3: I don't care about it released or not what I
- 9:41Speaker 3: think you should do.
- 9:42Speaker 4: If you're going to do it, then you have to
- 9:44Speaker 4: go into Epstein's friends. This read often spent a lot
- 9:49Speaker 4: of time on the island whres debor on his island?
- 9:53Speaker 3: Bill Clint is there supposedly twenty eight times.
- 9:57Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, all these reporters, all these microphones have
- 10:00Speaker 2: front of Trump when it turns over Epstein, Epstein, Epstein,
- 10:02Speaker 2: Where are they? Why aren't they in Shappaquay? I asked
- 10:04Speaker 2: Bill Clinton these questions. Go find ried Hoffman and ask
- 10:08Speaker 2: him these questions. Ask Epstein's real friends. Trump knew him
- 10:11Speaker 2: briefly a million years ago, but ask his friends of
- 10:14Speaker 2: the last twenty years these questions. But you know in
- 10:16Speaker 2: the media, they're not going to do that.
- 10:17Speaker 3: They can do whatever they want.
- 10:19Speaker 2: Uh Yeah, So anyway, let's get to Mom Donnie. It
- 10:24Speaker 2: looks like Jessica Tish will stay for the time being.
- 10:27Speaker 2: We don't know what will happen, but they've had a
- 10:29Speaker 2: couple of conversations. Mom Donnie is now being a little
- 10:34Speaker 2: more positive about her staying.
- 10:35Speaker 5: I do want her to stay, and I made that
- 10:37Speaker 5: commitment during the election. That's something that I continue to believe.
- 10:40Speaker 2: Will she stay in that office.
- 10:42Speaker 5: I continue to be confident in my decision.
- 10:43Speaker 4: She has said more than once that the officers, she
- 10:45Speaker 4: wants more of them, and you don't.
- 10:48Speaker 3: You don't have that in your in your in your positions.
- 10:50Speaker 5: Yet I think that the number of officers that we
- 10:52Speaker 5: have is the right amount. I think the better question, frankly,
- 10:55Speaker 5: that is often lost in our politics is how do
- 10:57Speaker 5: we keep those officers on the force?
- 10:59Speaker 2: No, No, that's interesting because under certain conditions, like Mom Donnie,
- 11:03Speaker 2: you got officers resigning or taking their pension and getting out,
- 11:06Speaker 2: or a lot of them go somewhere else, and you know,
- 11:10Speaker 2: you know a lot of them live in Nassau County, Suffolk, Rockland.
- 11:12Speaker 2: They'll go join that police force. But that's interesting. Of course,
- 11:16Speaker 2: we were assuming he's telling the truth. Who knows what
- 11:18Speaker 2: this guy that he doesn't want to lose any officers,
- 11:21Speaker 2: that he does want to keep the current amount. Jessica
- 11:24Speaker 2: tish that you want to be mayor. I am a
- 11:26Speaker 2: public servant, not a politician.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Okay, but you.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Know there may be a call for you to jump
- 11:30Speaker 2: into the mayor's race. Would you consider if there was
- 11:34Speaker 2: a big recruitment before.
- 11:36Speaker 5: My dream was to be the sanitation commissioner.
- 11:39Speaker 3: I remember when you.
- 11:40Speaker 4: Know, an really dared dream of being police commissioner.
- 11:44Speaker 2: But this is the job for me for sure. Sorry,
- 11:49Speaker 2: now that these are very political answers. Now you got
- 11:51Speaker 2: to remember mom, Donnie once he gets into office has
- 11:54Speaker 2: just I'm assuming he wants to be re elected and
- 11:57Speaker 2: be mayor for a second term. He's got to worry
- 12:00Speaker 2: about his competition and he's already fighting with a lot
- 12:05Speaker 2: of Democrats. You know, somebody might try to primary him out.
- 12:07Speaker 2: There was Brad Lander who was in that primary. He
- 12:10Speaker 2: and Lander have had some sort of a breakup and fight,
- 12:14Speaker 2: and he made a very weird announcement, Brad Lander will
- 12:18Speaker 2: have no role in my administration. So it's a real
- 12:20Speaker 2: slap in the face to him and that Democratic Socialist Association,
- 12:24Speaker 2: whatever that is. Apparently there's some fighting there between Mamdannie
- 12:27Speaker 2: and them. But he's got to worry about the opponent
- 12:30Speaker 2: next time around, and Jessica Tish would be a very
- 12:33Speaker 2: very likely one. So he's got a figure. What can
- 12:36Speaker 2: he do to keep her on the team. That's another
- 12:39Speaker 2: reason he might want to keep her as police commissioner,
- 12:42Speaker 2: because if she continues to work for him, it would
- 12:44Speaker 2: look too weird to run against him all of a sudden.
- 12:48Speaker 2: It would look a little treacherous. So he might want
- 12:50Speaker 2: to keep her there for that reason. Also, if he
- 12:52Speaker 2: gets rid of her, if she leaves, she could get very,
- 12:57Speaker 2: very very vocal about what's wrong with him and what
- 12:59Speaker 2: he's doing wrong and be a serious critic. Yea, this
- 13:05Speaker 2: may sound crazy, but don't be surprised if Eric Adams
- 13:07Speaker 2: tries to run against him when he's up for reelection.
- 13:10Speaker 2: There may be a battle between him and Adams. They're
- 13:12Speaker 2: already sniping at each other. Here's Mom Donald, the.
- 13:15Speaker 5: Yorkers are on the brink of being priced out of
- 13:17Speaker 5: the city that they call home, and his actions have
- 13:20Speaker 5: little to do with that affordability crisis. And what they show,
- 13:24Speaker 5: in fact, is why New Yorkers are so desperate for
- 13:27Speaker 5: a new administration, one that will focus on the needs
- 13:30Speaker 5: of the city and we'll look to speak to working
- 13:32Speaker 5: class New Yorkers as to what those needs are as
- 13:35Speaker 5: opposed to war criminals.
- 13:37Speaker 2: There's a lot of double talk from this guy. But
- 13:39Speaker 2: this affordability crisis is taking place. But if you'll notice,
- 13:44Speaker 2: it's only taking place in blue cities wherever Democrats are
- 13:48Speaker 2: running things, that's where you get the affordability crisis. And
- 13:51Speaker 2: we get a real left wing socialist type democrat, you'll
- 13:54Speaker 2: get a real affordability crisis. That's where it's the worst.
- 13:58Speaker 2: And I love how these Democrats keep talking about the
- 14:00Speaker 2: affordability crisis in New York. Well, New York's been run
- 14:05Speaker 2: by Democrats for fifteen years. Every inch of it is Democrats.
- 14:08Speaker 2: It's the mayor's a Democrat, the governor's a Democrat, the
- 14:11Speaker 2: City Council is a Democrat. The Legislature, the Senate, the
- 14:14Speaker 2: Assembly all Democrats. So if you've got an affordability crisis.
- 14:18Speaker 2: You can blame the Democrats. And again, look around the country.
- 14:21Speaker 2: You got a red state, red city, pretty good, think
- 14:23Speaker 2: economy is booming, blue city, blue state. You got an
- 14:27Speaker 2: affordability crisis. So hey, we'll get to twenty twenty eight.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Coming up, Newsom. Gavin Newsom still way out in the
- 14:34Speaker 2: lead in all the polls. Every bit of polling shows
- 14:37Speaker 2: Newsom way out in front. And now, if you check
- 14:40Speaker 2: historically it comes to Democrat nominations, whoever the early front
- 14:45Speaker 2: runner is always gets the nomination every time. The only time,
- 14:51Speaker 2: the only one exception, Hillary Clinton in two thousand and eight.
- 14:54Speaker 2: That's the only exception. But that's because an extraordinary guy,
- 15:00Speaker 2: Barack Obama, I mean extraordinary as far as a personality
- 15:04Speaker 2: articulate Cayman just took the nomination from her in two
- 15:08Speaker 2: thousand and eight. But every other case, whoever's the front
- 15:12Speaker 2: runner now gets the nomination. And right now, Gavin Newsom
- 15:15Speaker 2: way out in front. Hey, next year's the governor's election
- 15:19Speaker 2: here in New York, latest poll shows Hochel I don't
- 15:24Speaker 2: mean upset, but the latest poll shows hocal with a
- 15:28Speaker 2: twenty point lead over Elise Stephonic twenty points over Elise Stephonic. Now,
- 15:36Speaker 2: of course that's very very early. A lot of people
- 15:38Speaker 2: aren't familiar with her. Yet things could change. And if
- 15:41Speaker 2: you're Bruce Blakeman, you got to be looking at that
- 15:43Speaker 2: saying twenty point lead. I don't know if I want
- 15:45Speaker 2: to jump into that, but Blakeman would probably be a
- 15:48Speaker 2: much stronger candidate than Alis Stephonic. I know they say
- 15:53Speaker 2: it's good to have a woman against a woman, and
- 15:54Speaker 2: I forget all that. At least Stephonic is great, but
- 15:58Speaker 2: she's a talker. She's a legislator. Blakeman's an executive, a governor. Basically,
- 16:03Speaker 2: he's the governor of Nassau County. That's what a county
- 16:05Speaker 2: executive is. He'd be the perfect replacement anyway, Bill O'Reilly.
- 16:11Speaker 2: In a few minutes, we'll take some calls. Next eight
- 16:13Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number
- 16:17Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
- 16:21Speaker 5: Mister new George Marks amount sevent wr.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
- 16:32Speaker 2: seven ten is the number eight hundred three two one
- 16:36Speaker 2: zero seven ten. Let's go to Gino, Upstate New York. Gino,
- 16:39Speaker 2: how you doing good?
- 16:41Speaker 6: Mark? How are you Mark good?
- 16:43Speaker 2: What's going on?
- 16:44Speaker 6: Just want to ask you when you had that radio
- 16:47Speaker 6: show on Saturday Nights? Was the late eighties or the
- 16:50Speaker 6: early nineties?
- 16:51Speaker 2: That was actually in the two thousands. You're talking about,
- 16:53Speaker 2: which one the Saturday night oldie.
- 16:55Speaker 6: Show, Saturday Night with Sinatra?
- 16:57Speaker 2: Oh, that was in a two thousand to two thousand
- 17:00Speaker 2: and three something like that.
- 17:01Speaker 6: Oh, two thousand. I just want to let you know
- 17:03Speaker 6: I taped every one of those shows. I got all
- 17:05Speaker 6: your takes on cassettes.
- 17:07Speaker 2: Cassettes, Yeah, cassettes.
- 17:11Speaker 6: I went on board cassettes. I taped every day. I
- 17:13Speaker 6: listened to the show when I went to my wood
- 17:15Speaker 6: shop and I'm making things and you haven't all day
- 17:18Speaker 6: long with me.
- 17:18Speaker 2: What do you play them? Do you have a cassette recorder,
- 17:20Speaker 2: a cassette player?
- 17:21Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 17:21Speaker 6: Yeah, have good ones?
- 17:23Speaker 2: Yeah? All right, all right, thanks for calling, Geno. Now,
- 17:27Speaker 2: believe it or not, all the shows I did in
- 17:29Speaker 2: the eighties or nineties are on cassettes. So at some point,
- 17:35Speaker 2: and there's millions of them with all the biggest names,
- 17:37Speaker 2: the biggest stars, this guest, I want to save them
- 17:40Speaker 2: and digitize them. It's a pain in the neck finding
- 17:44Speaker 2: cassette recorders that still actually work, a cassette player that
- 17:47Speaker 2: still actually works, Dan, I got all the shows from
- 17:51Speaker 2: the two thousands are all on CDs, the early two thousands,
- 17:56Speaker 2: not some of those. Believe when you record a CD
- 17:58Speaker 2: connect the sound could almost have operate off them twenty
- 18:01Speaker 2: years later. It's not easy. Let's go to Georgia and
- 18:04Speaker 2: Long Island. George, how you doing.
- 18:07Speaker 8: I'm fine, Mark, Just a quick comment. At least Stefanic
- 18:10Speaker 8: is terrific. She's a Harvard girl. But she doesn't have
- 18:13Speaker 8: that one thing after her name with the D letter.
- 18:15Speaker 8: We could talk about Juliani, the other former Republican governor.
- 18:21Speaker 8: That's ancient history. It's New York is a democratic state,
- 18:25Speaker 8: and that's it. Unfortunately, that's my opinion.
- 18:28Speaker 2: Actually a lot of a lot of Republicans have been
- 18:31Speaker 2: elected governor, mayor. It happens all the time.
- 18:33Speaker 8: You just did many years ago, Mark.
- 18:35Speaker 2: Last one was Bloomberg last tackling.
- 18:41Speaker 8: How many years ago is that?
- 18:42Speaker 2: Well that it's not fifty years ago.
- 18:44Speaker 7: It's like whatever it was twenty twenty years ago.
- 18:47Speaker 8: I don't mean to your smarter guy than me. She
- 18:50Speaker 8: doesn't have a chance. Can I say one other comment?
- 18:52Speaker 2: No, No, I'm going to cut you off. You got
- 18:55Speaker 2: to stop with that. Ye have a chance. That's why
- 18:58Speaker 2: Republicans have a tough time art this mantra they did.
- 19:02Speaker 2: You did this to Curtis. You start the stupid mantra chance,
- 19:05Speaker 2: you don't never chance, you don't have a chance, and
- 19:07Speaker 2: then you all talk yourself into it. That's why you
- 19:10Speaker 2: don't get any Republican turnout because you keep telling you
- 19:12Speaker 2: every any Republican you start yelling a chance, stop it.
- 19:16Speaker 2: Stop doing that. Let's go to Shelley in Long Island. Shelley,
- 19:19Speaker 2: how you.
- 19:19Speaker 9: Doing, Hey, Mark, good morning, love the show. Mark. I
- 19:24Speaker 9: love Trump more than anyone else. I'm not sure maybe
- 19:30Speaker 9: close companies.
- 19:31Speaker 2: More than your husband.
- 19:35Speaker 9: Together on that, but Mark, no one is really getting
- 19:40Speaker 9: arrested for any of the corruption, and it's getting.
- 19:42Speaker 2: Are you talking about you're talking about you got Letitia James,
- 19:47Speaker 2: you got the two other fi.
- 19:50Speaker 9: I read in the New York Post today there's an
- 19:52Speaker 9: article that the prosecutors may have blown the Komy case.
- 19:56Speaker 2: No, that's not that's not that's not what it said.
- 19:58Speaker 2: It didn't say anything of the kind. It said that
- 20:01Speaker 2: there were missteps in the prosecution and that they have
- 20:04Speaker 2: to release the whole grand jury transcript instead of partial
- 20:08Speaker 2: and it went to a higher court which ruled against
- 20:10Speaker 2: the lower court. And it's just little technical things. Now, Remember,
- 20:15Speaker 2: the good news is Komy is not arguing that he's
- 20:17Speaker 2: not guilty. He's arguing that there were procedural mistakes which
- 20:20Speaker 2: can always be corrected.
- 20:22Speaker 9: All right, well, let's hope that we get a prosecution
- 20:24Speaker 9: because we really do.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Well, you got one now taking place, actually have several
- 20:28Speaker 2: taking place right now, and the Kobe case, it's a
- 20:30Speaker 2: good sign that he couldn't argue anything except procedural stuff.
- 20:34Speaker 9: So okay, well, thanks for your vote of confidence on that.
- 20:37Speaker 2: All right, don't panic. Let's go to Joanne in New Jersey. Joanne,
- 20:41Speaker 2: how you doing?
- 20:43Speaker 3: Hi?
- 20:43Speaker 9: Mark, This is a serious question.
- 20:47Speaker 3: Are they going to pat down Mandane before it gets
- 20:50Speaker 3: too temp?
- 20:52Speaker 2: What do you mean search him?
- 20:54Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 20:55Speaker 2: Oh yeah. Anybody goes into the White House, you go
- 20:57Speaker 2: through a metal detector, you go through the whole thing,
- 20:58Speaker 2: you go through an X ray machine. Yeah, everybody goes
- 21:01Speaker 2: through that. Yeah.
- 21:02Speaker 9: Okay, thanks Mark.
- 21:05Speaker 2: Yeah. You know, like if you go to mar A Lago,
- 21:09Speaker 2: if you went today, right now, on a Tuesday tomorrow, Lago,
- 21:12Speaker 2: it's a lot of security. You get checked in and
- 21:15Speaker 2: all that, you go there. But if Trump is there
- 21:17Speaker 2: and you go forget it, it's like a forty minute
- 21:21Speaker 2: process to get in there. You get searched, you got
- 21:22Speaker 2: to empty your pockets, you got to go through an
- 21:25Speaker 2: X ray machine, you get wanded. If you show up
- 21:27Speaker 2: in a car, they stop your car, they search your car.
- 21:30Speaker 2: They have a guy with a big long pole with
- 21:32Speaker 2: a mirror. They stick it under your car. With this mirror,
- 21:35Speaker 2: they look under your car. It takes like an hour
- 21:38Speaker 2: to get in there. So yeah, they do search everybody.
- 21:41Speaker 2: Let's go to sal in Long Island. Sal. How you doing?
- 21:45Speaker 7: Yes, good morning. Yes.
- 21:49Speaker 1: It's when the police confiscate drugs, these large amount of drugs,
- 21:55Speaker 1: pounds of it, instead of just vouching and send it
- 21:58Speaker 1: and sends it to be thrown away and dispose of.
- 22:02Speaker 1: How about they just lace it with some chemical that
- 22:04Speaker 1: makes the buyer sick.
- 22:06Speaker 2: No, no, no, the police can't do that and they can't
- 22:08Speaker 2: do that. Hey, when we come back, Bill O'Reilly will
- 22:11Speaker 2: be with us next. Let's see what he thinks about
- 22:13Speaker 2: all of this. We'll get to that in the moment.
- 22:14Speaker 2: On seven to ten, wor give wr o Bree said
- 22:19Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app to hear Mark Simone and all
- 22:22Speaker 2: the WR hosts in an.
- 22:25Speaker 1: Instance, Now back to the Marximo Show on WR.

- 22:33Speaker 2: non fiction author on Earth, Bill O'Reilly's latest book. You

- 22:45Speaker 2: at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly.
- 22:50Speaker 7: How you doing, hanging chap Mark?
- 22:52Speaker 2: How you I'm good? Hey? The Epstein files the Democrats
- 22:58Speaker 2: setting themselves up for a huge disappointment when they're finally released.
- 23:04Speaker 7: I don't know if anybody really believes that there's anything
- 23:07Speaker 7: going to affect the outcome of the country in this.
- 23:11Speaker 7: It's hope they're hoping it does. But I don't know
- 23:15Speaker 7: anybody who really believes that there's something in there that's
- 23:19Speaker 7: going to topple President Trump with the Republican Party. I mean,
- 23:25Speaker 7: it would just be inconceivable that that would be there
- 23:29Speaker 7: because of the Biden. Justice Department would have known it.
- 23:34Speaker 2: Yeah, it just.
- 23:36Speaker 7: You know, if you follow logic. It just doesn't make
- 23:38Speaker 7: any sense. So this is all through hysteria, and you
- 23:43Speaker 7: know the late autumn people are bored. They don't know
- 23:46Speaker 7: what they do, and you know, the television networks gin
- 23:52Speaker 7: it up. But I'm not expecting anything.
- 23:56Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, the Democrats, I know they want to
- 23:59Speaker 2: get Trump, but they keep thinking there's some sort of
- 24:01Speaker 2: scandal that's going to bring him down, and they keep
- 24:03Speaker 2: looking for this scandal. But this is We're in the
- 24:06Speaker 2: tenth year of this. Now. Can they ever stop and
- 24:10Speaker 2: actually realize there's no scandal, that's not that's not the
- 24:13Speaker 2: way to bring it.
- 24:15Speaker 7: It's like fedan all. They can't stop, and they're just
- 24:18Speaker 7: addicted to it. They've got to do it every day,
- 24:23Speaker 7: you know, they can't. And you know people who hate
- 24:28Speaker 7: Trump like that, right, Yeah, I get emails from friends
- 24:33Speaker 7: they just hate them so much they've lost all capacity
- 24:36Speaker 7: for reason. And no, I thought Joe Biden was a
- 24:42Speaker 7: terrible president, and I get back that up one hundred ways,
- 24:45Speaker 7: and he really did a lot of damage to the
- 24:47Speaker 7: infrastructure of the country. But I didn't hate him, you know,
- 24:51Speaker 7: I didn't want to wish him ill. And but the Democrats,
- 24:56Speaker 7: particularly the progressives, have crossed over into that, you know,
- 25:00Speaker 7: we want him to die, we want him to get cancer.
- 25:02Speaker 7: That's where they are. I mean, that's pretty unhealthy if
- 25:05Speaker 7: you ask me. Yeah, and no, I don't believe that
- 25:09Speaker 7: there's anything out there that hasn't been uncovered yet that's
- 25:13Speaker 7: going to prevent his last three years in office.
- 25:16Speaker 2: Now, as the great historian Bill O'Reilly, was there ever
- 25:20Speaker 2: a period where we went through this before, where there
- 25:21Speaker 2: was some president where half the public was got enraged
- 25:25Speaker 2: at the mere mention of his name.
- 25:29Speaker 7: Two very good questions. So in modern times, Ronald Reagan
- 25:38Speaker 7: was loathed by the left, but they didn't have the
- 25:42Speaker 7: vehicle to deliver the loathing. So you only had three
- 25:46Speaker 7: network television networks, any of local news. And I was
- 25:50Speaker 7: working then, but in the newsrooms where I was visceral
- 25:58Speaker 7: hatred of Reagan role, but there was no where to
- 26:03Speaker 7: get it out. Now, the difference is everybody's got a podcast,
- 26:08Speaker 7: everybody's social media. You know, it's around the clock, so
- 26:13Speaker 7: that makes it heightened. There have been presidents that have
- 26:17Speaker 7: been very alienating. Andrew Jackson bore a lot of people
- 26:22Speaker 7: didn't like him. Abraham Lincoln was probably the most vilified,
- 26:29Speaker 7: even more than Donald Trump. When I talked to the President,
- 26:32Speaker 7: he says, nobody's ever gotten it as bad as I have.
- 26:35Speaker 7: And I said, with one exception, Abraham Lincoln. He doesn't
- 26:40Speaker 7: like to hear that, but it's absolutely true because the
- 26:42Speaker 7: South and those who believed in slavery really wanted him
- 26:47Speaker 7: dead Lincoln and they got their wish.
- 26:51Speaker 2: Wow, hey, mom, Donnie looks like he's going to meet
- 26:55Speaker 2: with Trump. What can actually come of such a meeting?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Mo'm Donnie and Trump?
- 27:00Speaker 7: Well, as I said last night on television, I hope
- 27:04Speaker 7: everybody checks out the Nooseman News bill. O'Reilly dot com
- 27:07Speaker 7: is where we live and you can get it in
- 27:09Speaker 7: a million different places. In order for Donald Trump to
- 27:13Speaker 7: meet with you, Mark Simone, okay or O'Reilly, you've got
- 27:19Speaker 7: to know what the meeting is going to entail. So
- 27:24Speaker 7: he just doesn't meet with people unless he knows what
- 27:27Speaker 7: it's about. And I'm kind of like that too. I mean,
- 27:31Speaker 7: I'm busy, and you know, I can't say come on
- 27:34Speaker 7: in for Coco. I you know, I just can't time
- 27:39Speaker 7: to do it with man. Donnie. Mandanni's going to have
- 27:43Speaker 7: to give Trump something to get that meeting. And it
- 27:48Speaker 7: was the same thing when I went to Beijing, I said,
- 27:51Speaker 7: if you want the president to come here to this city,
- 27:55Speaker 7: and this was in May. I said, you got to
- 27:57Speaker 7: give him some And now I think President Trump's gonna
- 28:02Speaker 7: go in April to Beijing. And then the Chinese communists
- 28:07Speaker 7: who were involved with this Q and A with me,
- 28:11Speaker 7: they were what might that be? And I said, well,
- 28:13Speaker 7: the easiest way is to get out of the fentanyl business.
- 28:15Speaker 7: And that's exactly what happened in Korea. And they said,
- 28:18Speaker 7: I mean, who knows what they do. So Man Donnie's
- 28:22Speaker 7: gonna have to say or his people will tell Trump's people. Look,
- 28:27Speaker 7: the mayor is willing to do this, and I assume
- 28:31Speaker 7: it'll be on immigration. I assume that'll be the area.
- 28:36Speaker 7: And if Trump thinks it's enough, then he'll say to
- 28:41Speaker 7: Man Donnie, all right, I'll give you an hour, come
- 28:44Speaker 7: on down to DC. That's how it works.
- 28:47Speaker 2: That's fascinating. Now. I wouldn't it be better if he said,
- 28:51Speaker 2: promise me, you'll leave the police department alone, you won't
- 28:54Speaker 2: interfere with them.
- 28:56Speaker 7: Well, that would take place in the meeting it'sself, all right.
- 29:00Speaker 7: So the stairstep is this, and I hope Man doonn
- 29:04Speaker 7: is listening right now because he doesn't know. He's thirty
- 29:07Speaker 7: four years old. He doesn't know anything, all right, So
- 29:10Speaker 7: Mandonnie is going to have to give Trump something. He'll
- 29:13Speaker 7: probably be on immigration. He'll probably say, we're not gonna
- 29:17Speaker 7: bother the ICE agents. Just don't make a big show
- 29:19Speaker 7: out of it. They can operate and will cooperate when
- 29:24Speaker 7: they're looking for criminal migrants. That's probably what Mayor mandon
- 29:27Speaker 7: is going to say. Often he's not going to say it,
- 29:29Speaker 7: but his people will no. When he gets into the
- 29:32Speaker 7: Oval Office for the meeting, Trump will go, is what
- 29:38Speaker 7: I want and he'll give ten things to Mandanni, confusing
- 29:43Speaker 7: the hell out of him because that's a technique that
- 29:48Speaker 7: most powerful people use. And on the sheet will be
- 29:52Speaker 7: you better not cut the police budget, because that's what
- 29:55Speaker 7: man Dotti wants to do. Let's take a billion dollars
- 29:58Speaker 7: out of the police budget, which pretty much defunds the police,
- 30:03Speaker 7: and he wants suspend it on social workers or whatever
- 30:06Speaker 7: crazy thing he's got in his mind, which will never work,
- 30:09Speaker 7: and Trump will take that off the table for him.
- 30:13Speaker 7: But Trump is all the power. Man Donnie has no power,
- 30:16Speaker 7: So this is not even a fair fight or a
- 30:19Speaker 7: meeting of consequence. Man Dottie's got to go. Okay, mister
- 30:23Speaker 7: president or Trump will say, you know, kiss the federal
- 30:27Speaker 7: money goodbye. I'll hold it up and tell him out
- 30:29Speaker 7: of office. That's how it's going to go.
- 30:32Speaker 2: Well, it sounds like you're optimistic about this meeting. That's
- 30:35Speaker 2: something good will come of this.
- 30:37Speaker 7: I don't know about that, because what they say and
- 30:41Speaker 7: what they do, they being politicians, are a lot of
- 30:46Speaker 7: times not the same. But you have to understand how
- 30:49Speaker 7: weak a position that man Donnie has. He has nothing.
- 30:54Speaker 7: He is no, he can't say anything to Trump that
- 30:59Speaker 7: matters because you know what I mean power, And the
- 31:02Speaker 7: same thing with Hochel Hougus is weak. If hoche were
- 31:05Speaker 7: a strong governor, she could make basically strong arm and
- 31:10Speaker 7: Donnie into knocking off full of socialist garbage. But she's not.
- 31:15Speaker 7: She's weak. She's afraid of the progressive left. But man
- 31:20Speaker 7: Donna has no power in all butity. He has no
- 31:22Speaker 7: power in Washington. His power very very limited. He doesn't
- 31:27Speaker 7: even have power over the unions, the teachers union in
- 31:31Speaker 7: New York and to do exactly what they want. Man
- 31:33Speaker 7: Donnie's not gonna be able to tell him what to do.
- 31:35Speaker 7: He'll be lucky if he gets the garbage picked up
- 31:37Speaker 7: three times a week. I'm not being fasicious. If the
- 31:43Speaker 7: sanitation union doesn't want to pick up the garbage, what
- 31:46Speaker 7: is man donna gonna do what? He's got no power none.
- 31:53Speaker 7: It's not like coach who if you were up against Koch,
- 31:57Speaker 7: you better watch you back. Thing with Juliani, same thing
- 32:01Speaker 7: with Bloomberg. Those guys that hurt you, man that he
- 32:05Speaker 7: can't hurt you.
- 32:08Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point. Young guy with no experience
- 32:10Speaker 2: in government.
- 32:11Speaker 7: Yeah, he's got no constituency. He's got a bunch of people,
- 32:15Speaker 7: a little malice running around him. Tell him how great
- 32:18Speaker 7: Snowo was. Come on, it's ridiculous.
