  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Mark Simone Show on WOR. Well,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it's Thursday. It's going to be rainy today. If the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: forecast holds up, there could be very heavy rain late
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: this afternoon. Actually, maybe 3, 4 o'clock. And if it's
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: anything like the last few vicious storms, you could have
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: a lot of flooding today. All over the place, the parkways, roadways,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. Should ease up by evening
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: and then be a little better. Here's the craziest story
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: of all. Now, you know, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: mastermind of the 9-11 attacks. Of course, you had Osama
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: bin Laden, who was hiding in Pakistan. Admiral William McRaven
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: led that great raid to capture him. They ended up
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: having to shoot him, which everybody was very happy about,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: because I guess he had a gun. When they entered
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: the house and they got to the third floor where
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: he was, he had a gun. So they did shoot him.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: They shot him dead, disposed of the body at sea,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: which is the best way to get rid of this guy. Also,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: you remember the mastermind, the guy who designed the 9-11 attack,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. This is the guy they captured.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Remember that famous, it's got to be the worst... A mugshot.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, you've never seen anybody on cops look worse
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: than this getting dragged out of their house. He had
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that ripped up undershirt on. His whole body covered with hair.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Not just a hairy chest. Look at the picture. The
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: guy had hairy shoulders, a hairy neck. I mean, a
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: real baboon of a guy. And it's Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Now,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: you remember when he was captured? 2003. That's 23 years ago.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: 23 years ago. What the hell have they been doing
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: with this guy for 23 years? So they just announced
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the trial. He will finally go on trial. Now, this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: is 23 years. Why wasn't he on trial in 2024?
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, 2004, a year after they got him. And frankly,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: why wasn't he just shot dead and thrown in the
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: ocean like Osama bin Laden? Well, he's been in Guantanamo.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: And why is it 23 years? Judges, federal judges, you know,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: these same federal judges. You can't build a ballroom. You
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: can't do this. You can't do these federal judges jump
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: in every time the prosecutors are ready to go. Federal
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: judge delayed the case. One time he was ready to
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: plead guilty and a federal judge stepped in these crazy judges.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: So now the trial is scheduled to begin. And you're saying,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what the hell took so long? Twenty three years later,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: why did it take so long? OK, listen to this.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Big announcement. Trial set to begin. Here's the date. June 5th, 2028.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: That's two years from now. What is the point of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: a trial? That'll be 25 years we've had the guy
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: in captivity. 25 years. So I understand the trial set
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: to begin. Start Monday. All right. It's Labor Day week.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Start a week from Monday. It's Labor Day. Start two
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: weeks from Monday, not two. June 5th, 2028. Listen, this
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: is how they work. U.S. military justice. But again, it's
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: these federal judges delaying the whole thing. Sheikh Khalid Sheikh,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: whatever the hell his name is, is accused of developing
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: and directing the plot to crash hijacked airliners into the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: World Trade Center. There's a couple of other guys that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: will go on trial with him. Waleen Bid Atash. Ali
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Abdul Aziz Ali. That's the guy's name. Ali Abdul Aziz Ali.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Quadruple A. And then there's this guy, Mustafa Al-Hasawi. They're
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: all going on trial, but again, not for two years.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: It's absolutely crazy. Absolutely crazy. You know, we should get
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Admiral William McRaven, put together another raid, go capture these
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: guys again. And put him on trial immediately. The deal
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: they are looking for, Muhammad wants a deal. We'll give
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: him a life sentence without parole instead of the death penalty.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: If anybody qualifies for the death penalty, it's this guy.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: So hopefully there'll be no deal. Now, you know, Donald
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Trump drives the Democrats crazy. Trump derangement syndrome is a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: real thing. Listen, if you don't like the guy, that's fine.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: And if you don't agree with him on this, that's
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: fine too. But this Trump derangement syndrome is where you
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: just go nuts. You just enrage all day and night
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: over a lot of things. I don't like Hochul. I mean,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I like Hochul personally. She's a nice person. But Governor Hochul,
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I don't like anything she's doing. I think she's the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: worst governor in the world. I think her decisions are horrible.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: But I don't get mad about it. I'm not enraged
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: about her yelling and screaming. But when it comes to Trump...
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: What is it about him? He just sets them off.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: They just go nuts. You never, ever, ever hear any
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of these Democrats say, you know, I don't agree with
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: President Trump on some things. You know, I think he's wrong.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: They just start yelling and screaming. So there's a Philadelphia
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: district attorney. I think this guy's up to something. You
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: think he's running for governor or something. He wants to
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: rise up because all of a sudden he's lashing out
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: at Trump making these speeches. The Trump ballroom got the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: go-ahead And Trump is a very fast builder. It's not
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: the government building something, which takes 10 years. It's a
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: professional builder. He'll have this thing done in 10 weeks, probably.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, he'll really get this thing going. So Democrats
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: are already plotting if they take back the White House
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: or even Congress, they're salivating at the thought of destroying
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: the ballroom, of actually tearing it down. Now, you may
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: not like Trump and you might not like the way
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he decorated the Oval Office. It is a little silly
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: looking with the gold everywhere and 6,000 paintings on the walls.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: But one thing he's good at is building ballrooms. Now,
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: you can go look. Go look at the ballroom in Mar-a-Lago.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Go look at the ballroom in any of his hotels,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the new hotel in Washington. Go look at his ballrooms.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: They are magnificent. Even when he had the plaza, when
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: he owned that, he restored that ballroom. His ballrooms look great.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: You couldn't get a better guy to build you a ballroom.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So it's going to be wonderful. Who the hell would
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: tear it down? Now, listen to this guy in Philadelphia.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: He's the district attorney. He's on an anti-Trump crusade. Listen
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to him. And I'm going to have a paperweight sitting
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: on my desk. You know what that paperweight's going to be?
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: It's going to be a piece of the ballroom after
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: we all blow it up. That's what it's going to be.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: And they're cheering. This is Trump derangement syndrome. They're cheering
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: for a guy setting off an explosive at the White House,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: a bomb, and blowing up the White House ballroom. By
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the way, underneath the ballroom is the Situation Room. They're
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: going to build a When they go to the Situation Room,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the one they got now is outdated. It's really outdated.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: In the highest emergency, they go into the Situation Room.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: The one they got now has got like old Sony
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: TV screens from 1973. It's got a VHS player in
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: case they need it. So they're building a new state-of-the-art
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Situation Room. Also, the bunker, the emergency bunker they go
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: into in the most extreme emergencies is outdated. So underneath
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the ballroom, will be the most state-of-the-art bunker of all.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: And then the roof of the ballroom will contain a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: drone center where they'll have drones to defend the White House.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: So it's important stuff. But this guy wants to blow
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: it up, set off a big bomb and blow up
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the ballroom. This is a... His name is Krasner. This
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: is a small bunch of... of wannabe Nazis. He's talking
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: about ICE. ICE are law enforcement guys. This is a
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That's what they are. There
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: will be accountability now. There will be accountability in the future.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: There will be accountability after Trump is out of office.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: If we have to hunt you down the way they
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: hunted down Nazis for decades... guy's crazy. Now, you know,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: this ICE is just a law enforcement agency. When Barack
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Obama was president for eight years, he used ICE in
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: exactly the same way. The same ICE, you know who
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: he had in charge of it? Tom Holman. That was
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: Obama's ICE director. You know what they did? They deported
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: even more people than they're deporting now. They actually deported
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: four million under Obama. So again, it's Trump derangement syndrome.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: This Krasner obviously wants to run for governor or senator
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: or something. Attorney General Todd Blancho asked about this, Krasner.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: It's disgusting that a district attorney in Philadelphia, who, by
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the way, has a city with its own problems. Yeah,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: there is a big crime problem in Philadelphia. Get busy
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: with that. It's the same thing here where you get
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Alvin Bragg speaking out about Trump. This is the guy
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: letting criminals loose. He lets criminals out. Lets him out.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: You hear the stories every day. This guy's been arrested
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: 27 times for robbery. And 27 times. And he goes
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: before Alvin Bragg, you're dismissed. No bail, no jail. Blame
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: again Andrew Cuomo, who signed that no bail, no jail thing. Hey,
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: that's the reason. You know, and this Alvin Bragg and
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: these DAs, they decide, well, shoplifting's not a crime. We're
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: not going to charge anybody with shopping. I'm in the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: drugstore yesterday. You want anything. You want some aspirin? You
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: want some shampoo? It's locked up. It's locked up. You
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: got to push this button and ring the bell for
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: the manager to come unlock it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: What?
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: What am I, at Bulgari, buying a $ 500, 000 bracelet? It's
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a bottle of aspirin. It's locked up. Thanks to Cuomo
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Alvin Bragg and all these people. You know, it's spreading, too,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: this crime wave. It's organized. It's all kids running in,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: but they're organized, and they come in with their own
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: shopping carts, their own hefty bags. According to Alvin Bragg,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: if it's under $ 1, 000, no charge. You won't be charged
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: with shoplifting. So they're experts, these kids now, at stealing
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: $ 999 worth of stuff, running out with it. They take
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it to this van where it's all collected. It goes
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: to the shoplifting ring. It's organized, an organized crime kind
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: of ring. And then it's all sold on the black
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: market or resold to other stores at a profit. It's
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: starting to spread a little now. Supermarkets are getting hit
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: in parts of the country. There are supermarkets now that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: have to lock up the valuable meat, like in the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: meat section, the— The ribeye and the filet and all
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that has to be locked up. Same thing. Push the button.
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: Ring the bell for the manager to come unlock your meat. Hey,
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: I think we should play this every hour. We like
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to talk about Dolly Parton, but she was the wisest.
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Besides the great entertainer, songwriter, performer, she was the wisest
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: at running her career. And that's why she lasted so long.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: That's why she was so beloved. And that's why after decades,
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: nobody could find a bad thing to say about her.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: But let's play this again. We played it the first hour.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Let's play it every hour. It's a good lesson, especially
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: if you've got any people listening, performers, anybody in the
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: entertainment business. Dolly Parton would never go near politics for
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: any reason. She wouldn't pose with any politicians. But this
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Trump's president, this reporter tries to get her to talk.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: We have a president of the United States who said
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: those things on that bus.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not addressing that. I do not get into that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Of course, I have my opinion about everybody and everything.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: But I learned a long time ago, keep your damn
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: mouth shut if you want to stay in show business.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: I'm not in politics. I'm an entertainer.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: And yet you're also a role model. Yes, I am.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: That's why I don't talk about people. So if you.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: or deciding you may want to ask me something more serious, don't,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: because I'm not going to answer it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Fair warning, I might still ask.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: Well, you can ask, but I might still tell you
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: where to put it, if I don't know where you
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Stephen Colbert, you hear that? Don't talk about politics. Now,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert, and since the show went off the air, CBS,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: you see how his career has taken off, really taken off.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: You see, immediately people ran out and hired him. Hey,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: by the way, you see that story in the New
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: York Post that Chris Cuomo, that president, The new head
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: of CBS News, Barry Weiss. CBS salivating over Chris Cuomo,
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: desperately chasing after him, trying very hard to get Chris
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Cuomo on the air at CBS. They're dying to get him. Now,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: when you see that story, what does it tell you? Well,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: if you're in the media business, it tells you that
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: over at News Nation, Chris Cuomo's contract must be up.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: And you've got somebody planting stories like that, trying to
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: renegotiate with... News Nation get a new contract because I
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: doubt that anybody at CBS is salivating over Chris Cuomo.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: First of all, News Nation is a very nice place,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: but CBS is much bigger. If they wanted him, all
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: he'd do is pick up the phone and he'd start
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: packing two seconds after the phone call. But again, it's
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: just an old trick. Your contract's up. Everybody does that.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: You plant a story somewhere that they're desperately trying to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: hire you and that helps you negotiate your new contract. Hey,
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a lot of people are worried about Tiger Woods. He
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: wanted to do a video message to congratulate Nota Beghi,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: who's getting the Payne Stewart Award. They asked people to speak,
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: you know, tribute. Tiger couldn't be there, so he did
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: a video. And he sent the video. Well, it went
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: up online, and a lot of his fans were shocked.
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: He didn't look so hot. But remember, the guy's in rehab.
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: You know, when you're a golfer, you're out there in
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: the sun every day, so you've got a beautiful tan,
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: you look great. When you're in rehab, you look like
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a mess. It's like being in prison. So people on
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: X think, God, he looks like a former shell of himself.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: What's going on with the big cat? Looks different. Another
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: one posted, gee, tiger doesn't look so good. Scheduled to
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: make his first court appearance. Remember, as far as the crash,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: he hasn't really gone into court yet with that. But
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: September 8th, I think that's the day after Labor Day,
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: five months after the incident. All right, it's better than
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. But you see, this little Tiger Woods thing,
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: they get that done in a couple of months. Khalid
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Sheikh Mohammed, 25 years to get him on trial. Hey,
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: we'll take some calls next. 800-321-0710 is the number. 800-321-0710.
