0:10
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm back and lots to talk about. We got
0:13
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff to go over. We'll get to
0:16
Speaker 2: all of that's freezing cold today and it's going to
0:19
Speaker 2: stay that way for most of the week. That's is
0:24
Speaker 2: that allergies. Cold weather allergies. It doesn't go away. So
0:29
Speaker 2: we got a lot to talk about. We'll get to
0:31
Speaker 2: the Kennedy Center Honors, We'll get to Ukraine. We'll get
0:34
Speaker 2: to Narco Boats, We'll get to George Sloppadopolis. We'll get
0:38
Speaker 2: to Mom Donnie and his latest crazy ideas. We'll get
0:41
Speaker 2: to the pipe bomber and how they caught him. It's fascinating. Actually,
0:45
Speaker 2: we'll get to the Jets. Interesting, what's going on with it?
0:51
Speaker 2: This is going to be a big movement for the
0:53
Speaker 2: rest of the season. Anyway, we'll we'll talk about all
0:57
Speaker 2: of that and more. Be nice to your Democratic friends.
1:01
Speaker 2: I know they're angry and yelling and screaming. I don't
1:04
Speaker 2: know if I have time to do it today, but
1:05
Speaker 2: we're at some point we're gonna I'm gonna explain Trump
1:07
Speaker 2: derangement syndrome in detail. After talking to a number of
1:11
Speaker 2: psychiatrists and psychologists who've explained exactly what it is. There
1:18
Speaker 2: are other types of this same disease. In this case
1:20
Speaker 2: it's Trump derangement syndrome. There are other types. And also
1:25
Speaker 2: for the past week or two we've seen hegxith derangement
1:28
Speaker 2: syndrome as they go nuts trying to get rid of
1:31
Speaker 2: Pete hegsyth. Now why it's not even anything really personal.
1:35
Speaker 2: They just want to get Trump somehow. So whenever they
1:38
Speaker 2: see something, anything, one little branch of the tree that
1:42
Speaker 2: looks like it's gonna break, the break off any limb
1:45
Speaker 2: of the tree, anything, so they think Hexith is vulnerable.
1:49
Speaker 2: He's not not. In any way. He hasn't done anything
1:53
Speaker 2: that anybody would consider wrong in the Trump administration. Signal
1:57
Speaker 2: gait was a complete ridiculous piece of trivia, absolute nonsense.
2:01
Speaker 2: That's where he used that signal app for communication. It
2:04
Speaker 2: was approved by the Pentagon. It was Pentagon policy to
2:07
Speaker 2: use it. If you shouldn't use it, well you could
2:09
Speaker 2: take a look at that and maybe not use it,
2:10
Speaker 2: but that's not a scandal. If you're watching the Sunday
2:15
Speaker 2: shows this week the opening segments, you might have said,
2:19
Speaker 2: is this a rerun is this from months ago? They
2:21
Speaker 2: were talking about signal gate using the signal but no, no,
2:25
Speaker 2: they just latch onto something and they won't let it go.
2:28
Speaker 2: You know, these Sunday shows, the idea used to be
2:31
Speaker 2: they go over the news of the week. They didn't
2:33
Speaker 2: do that on any of the Sunday shows this week.
2:35
Speaker 2: If you were watching them, you missed out a review
2:38
Speaker 2: of the news of the week. Instead, they zeroed in
2:40
Speaker 2: on one or two things that they liked. Well, they're
2:44
Speaker 2: basically only two get Hexif and Narco boats, and they
2:49
Speaker 2: were going after these Narco boats, and every crazy Democrat
2:54
Speaker 2: was on there with their crazy explanations. It might have
2:57
Speaker 2: been We think it was maybe a fishing They could
2:59
Speaker 2: have been fishing boats. No one's ever seen a fishing
3:03
Speaker 2: boat with six outboards on it and super high speed
3:06
Speaker 2: going eight hundred miles an hour at three in the morning.
3:09
Speaker 2: Nobody's ever seen a fishing boat. I'm not an expert
3:13
Speaker 2: on the fishing or boats, but you can tell a
3:16
Speaker 2: Narco boat from a fishing boat. A fishing boat has
3:19
Speaker 2: fishing equipment all over it and hanging off the sides.
3:23
Speaker 2: You can tell the Narco boat because it's a super
3:26
Speaker 2: high speed boat with a million outboard engines on it,
3:29
Speaker 2: and it's got twenty five oil drums of chemicals. You
3:34
Speaker 2: can always tell the Narco boat that way. See the
3:37
Speaker 2: fishing boat brings bait. Bait isn't that big. You don't
3:40
Speaker 2: need twenty five oil drums full of bait, so you
3:43
Speaker 2: can tell. Hey, the best moment on the Sunday Shows.
3:47
Speaker 2: The finest moment was this Senator of Missouri, Eric Schmidt Stephanopoulos,
3:53
Speaker 2: or as we call him, Trump first named him, George
3:56
Speaker 2: Sloppadopoulos is interviewing him. Now does what they all do?
4:01
Speaker 2: The greatest example this week was Margaret Brennan. You know
4:04
Speaker 2: they all do this jackal and hide. They have a
4:06
Speaker 2: Republican on and every time the Republican answers, they pair
4:10
Speaker 2: it to him, they a thousand follow ups, They tear
4:13
Speaker 2: apart his answer, they yell and scream at him, they
4:17
Speaker 2: go crazy, and then they go to commercial. Then they
4:20
Speaker 2: come back with a Democrat and whenever the Democrat answers,
4:24
Speaker 2: they just nod like a bobblehead. They have no follow ups,
4:27
Speaker 2: no pushback. Whatever the answer is, uh huh, oh, thank you, Okay,
4:30
Speaker 2: here's my next question. It's just little softba interviews. So
4:33
Speaker 2: for the Republican, they're vicious pitbulls tearing into him. Then
4:37
Speaker 2: when they come back from commercial to interview the Democrat,
4:39
Speaker 2: they're cute little poodles hugging the guests. So Schmidt brought
4:43
Speaker 2: this up. Stephanopolos is trying to destroy Schmidt. He just
4:48
Speaker 2: had a guest on talking about the Narco boats and
4:51
Speaker 2: whatever the guest said, Stephanopolis just nodded like a bobblehead.
4:55
Speaker 2: Then he comes back with Eric Schmidt. Whatever Schmid said,
4:58
Speaker 2: Stephanopolis vicious, angry tears into them. Listening to this exchange.
5:02
Speaker 2: This is Eric Schmidt. This moment went super viral on
5:05
Speaker 2: the Sunday Show yesterday.
5:06
Speaker 3: Well, I'm curious about your pushback on that particular point.
5:08
Speaker 3: With your previous guests, you had zero pushback because he's
5:12
Speaker 3: giving the Democrat talking points like you spew every single week,
5:15
Speaker 3: which is probably why your ratings are so bad.
5:19
Speaker 2: He kept going, he kept tearing into Stephanopolis, and.
5:21
Speaker 3: You're trying to divert here the attention from what the
5:24
Speaker 3: American people actually support. Seventy five percent of Americans support
5:28
Speaker 3: US blowing Narco terrorists out of the water in the Caribbean,
5:31
Speaker 3: who are trying to poison Americans. There's no real legal
5:34
Speaker 3: debate about the ability to do that. Now you could
5:36
Speaker 3: have a policy discussion about it, which now you see
5:38
Speaker 3: the Democrats pivoting from the second strike and the war
5:42
Speaker 3: crimes allegation to really what this whole thing is about,
5:45
Speaker 3: should we be doing it in the first place.
5:47
Speaker 2: Now, you got to remember the drug lords, the big
5:49
Speaker 2: cartel leaders, you know, Salamanca and all those and Gus
5:54
Speaker 2: Fring and all the cartel leaders watching the Sunday shows
5:58
Speaker 2: had tears in their eyes, so grateful at the way
6:02
Speaker 2: these Sunday hosts were defending them in their drug boats,
6:05
Speaker 2: sticking up for them, fighting for them.
6:08
Speaker 3: And this is kind of the rabbit hole of Trump
6:09
Speaker 3: arrangement syndrome, is that they can't let this thing go.
6:12
Speaker 3: They can't believe that he won. They didn't want Hegseth
6:14
Speaker 3: to be the Secretary of War. They fought it. He
6:16
Speaker 3: was their number one target. They failed at that, and
6:18
Speaker 3: so now you just have a series and series of
6:20
Speaker 3: issues that come up every week to try to undermine
6:22
Speaker 3: this president the secretary of War, and it's not working.
6:25
Speaker 2: It's amazing how this Trump derangement syndrome has these Democrats
6:30
Speaker 2: defending anything illegal. If it's illegal, they're going to defend it.
6:34
Speaker 2: If it's narco terrorists and drug shipments, Fell defended, it's
6:38
Speaker 2: illegals all over the city streets. Fell defended whatever it is.
6:42
Speaker 2: If it's anti Trump, they'll defend it even if it's illegal,
6:47
Speaker 2: standing up fighting for every criminal in the world. Hey,
6:50
Speaker 2: now that one of the fascinating things this past week
6:52
Speaker 2: was they caught the pipe bomber January sixth. Everybody was
6:56
Speaker 2: focused on the trespassing incident at the Capitol and not
7:00
Speaker 2: on the pipe bombs. Somebody put bombs at the RNC
7:04
Speaker 2: and at the DNC. This is pretty serious stuff. They
7:09
Speaker 2: caught it and they got the bombs and got rid
7:11
Speaker 2: of them. But that could have been a disastrous that.
7:14
Speaker 2: You know, all you heard about was January sixth, was
7:16
Speaker 2: the trespassers, the people that unlawful entry. They were all
7:21
Speaker 2: charged with unlawful entry, trespassing, that sort of stuff. This
7:24
Speaker 2: is all you heard about. You never really heard any
7:27
Speaker 2: follow up on the pipe bombs. And the reason was
7:31
Speaker 2: Christopher Ray, who was the worst FBI director, a real
7:35
Speaker 2: swamp creature and the deep state. The swamp was only
7:38
Speaker 2: interested in getting Trump. They felt that the trespassing at
7:42
Speaker 2: the capitol, the chaos at the Capitol, would get Trump,
7:45
Speaker 2: so they focused on that. They investigated like crazy, they
7:50
Speaker 2: prosecuted like crazy. They got like seven hundred and sixty
7:53
Speaker 2: of those trespassers. They went after that. The pipe bomb
7:57
Speaker 2: they decided was of no value to them as their
8:00
Speaker 2: narrative because the pipe bomber tried to blow up the
8:03
Speaker 2: DNC and the RNC. It didn't look like he had
8:06
Speaker 2: any political leaning, so it was of no value to
8:10
Speaker 2: Chris Ray, the FBI, the deep state, the swamp, the
8:13
Speaker 2: Biden administration. They they weren't interested in the pipe bomber.
8:16
Speaker 2: Finding him not in any interest, so they let it go.
8:20
Speaker 2: They had a lot of evidence, but they didn't really
8:23
Speaker 2: do anything with it. Well, a few weeks ago, actually
8:26
Speaker 2: a couple months ago, Trump administration decided to really go
8:29
Speaker 2: after this and do the investigation and find this guy.
8:34
Speaker 2: And they did. They took all the existing evidence and
8:38
Speaker 2: then they used AI. Christopher Ray could have done this,
8:42
Speaker 2: And this is it's fascinating stuff what they can do
8:44
Speaker 2: with AI. You ever watched that CSI. But the laboratory
8:49
Speaker 2: stuff they can do, the scientifics to catch a criminals
8:52
Speaker 2: frightening and you're a criminal, you gotta go whoa this is?
8:55
Speaker 2: I mean, they are really thorough, but this is way
8:58
Speaker 2: beyond it. This is AI. So one of the things
9:01
Speaker 2: they used the AI for they figured out what it
9:04
Speaker 2: takes to make a pipe bomb. There's about seventeen things
9:07
Speaker 2: you'd have to buy to make a pipe bomb. You'd
9:11
Speaker 2: have to buy a certain type of pipe, certain types
9:14
Speaker 2: of chemicals also, So they listed the seventeen things and
9:19
Speaker 2: then they looked through the sales receipts of every store, everywhere,
9:24
Speaker 2: home depot lows, every hardware thing. They looked through all
9:27
Speaker 2: the sales receipts. Now, only AI could do this. For
9:30
Speaker 2: humans to do this, you'd need a team of like
9:32
Speaker 2: ten thousand people and it would take them year's But
9:35
Speaker 2: the AI can look through the sale of everything in
9:37
Speaker 2: the America and figure out did any one person buy
9:42
Speaker 2: all seventeen of these things? And they got a name
9:46
Speaker 2: somebody that bought all seventeen. Then they could take the
9:49
Speaker 2: two locations where the pipe bombs were. You know, your
9:53
Speaker 2: phone has a GPS in it, they can track where
9:55
Speaker 2: you are. So and only AI could do this. For
9:58
Speaker 2: humans to do it would take twenty years and a
10:00
Speaker 2: thousand people. The AI could look through all the phone
10:04
Speaker 2: records of all the cell phones and see if anybody
10:07
Speaker 2: was in both those locations on that day. And they did,
10:11
Speaker 2: and they got it down to one guy. They figured
10:13
Speaker 2: out it was the guy. And then they went to
10:15
Speaker 2: you know, they had the security video, they looked, they
10:18
Speaker 2: found the guy on it. They've got him. He's been arrested,
10:22
Speaker 2: he will be prosecuted. It's going to be a hell
10:25
Speaker 2: of a trial. Christopher Ray could have done this, Biden
10:28
Speaker 2: could have done this. They decided deliberately not to. But
10:32
Speaker 2: they got the guy. And it's a great, great, great
10:36
Speaker 2: accomplishment for Jeanine Piro, for the FBI. Now here's the
10:41
Speaker 2: only problem for you said, well, Jee, I didn't hear
10:43
Speaker 2: a loud about this. How am they're not talking about this? Well,
10:46
Speaker 2: here's the reason they've looked through this guy is everything,
10:48
Speaker 2: his emails, his social media, everything. There is no indication
10:54
Speaker 2: anywhere that he was a Trump voter. In fact, it
10:59
Speaker 2: appears he did not register with either party. He did
11:01
Speaker 2: not vote. It seems he has nothing to do with Trump,
11:04
Speaker 2: no connection. He's more of just an angry anarchist, sort
11:08
Speaker 2: of a guy, So there's nothing to tie him to
11:11
Speaker 2: a MAGA or Trump. So that's the other reason you
11:14
Speaker 2: didn't hear anything about it this week. He's facing thirty
11:18
Speaker 2: years in prison if convicted. It's most likely he will
11:21
Speaker 2: be convicted. The evidence is overwhelming. So that should be it.
11:27
Speaker 2: Kennedy Center Honors last night. It's a great thing in
11:30
Speaker 2: Washington because here in New York, we got a million gallows.
11:34
Speaker 2: We got all sorts of gallows every night of the week,
11:38
Speaker 2: we got all sorts of awards, we got every there's
11:40
Speaker 2: a million things in here Washington, DC. They don't have
11:44
Speaker 2: a lot. There's really not much. There's the Kennedy Center Honors.
11:48
Speaker 2: That's like the one big Galla of the year. There's
11:50
Speaker 2: what they call the Alfalfa Dinner. That's a big event
11:53
Speaker 2: down there. There's that White House Corresponds dinner. But that's
11:57
Speaker 2: about it. Very rarely today have any excuse down there
12:01
Speaker 2: to get dressed up and go to a big gallous.
12:04
Speaker 2: It's the biggest event in Washington all year. I used
12:06
Speaker 2: to go to it every year, but stopped about ten
12:09
Speaker 2: years ago. But it was always a great event. And
12:12
Speaker 2: when you go there, the Kennedy said, the whole audience.
12:16
Speaker 2: The entire audience are famous political people, all the Senators,
12:19
Speaker 2: all the congressmen, all the cabinet, everybody. And it's always
12:24
Speaker 2: four or five great honorees. A couple of are really
12:25
Speaker 2: big stars, a couple of people that aren't such big
12:29
Speaker 2: stars to most people. You know, a classical musician, a ballet,
12:32
Speaker 2: you know that kind of stuff. But Trump has taken
12:35
Speaker 2: over the Kennedy Center, put all his people on the board.
12:38
Speaker 2: It used to be kind of left wing, but then
12:41
Speaker 2: it got more and more and more and more to
12:43
Speaker 2: the left. It was really partisan. Now it's not. So
12:47
Speaker 2: you get real American heroes. You know, Sylvester Stallone, And
12:52
Speaker 2: in the old days of Kennedy center'd be Laurence Olivier.
12:54
Speaker 2: Now it's Sylvester Stallone. But that's good. And Trump, remember
12:58
Speaker 2: loves Sylvester Stallone. They did a lot of stuff through
13:00
Speaker 2: the years together, TV and other stuff. And the President
13:05
Speaker 2: has a big ceremony in the Oval Office giving the
13:08
Speaker 2: special medals, and then they go to the Kenny Center
13:11
Speaker 2: and they do the big dinner. Here's President Trump and
13:12
Speaker 2: it was Rambo.
13:13
Speaker 4: I knew nothing about it, but I like sly, so
13:16
Speaker 4: I said, let's go see it. After about four minutes,
13:18
Speaker 4: they said, this movie is great.
13:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. So hey. Also remember Trump became a big hit
13:24
Speaker 2: with The Apprentice. It was the number one show in television,
13:27
Speaker 2: so big that they decided to do spinoffs. Remember the
13:29
Speaker 2: first spinoff of The Apprentice, Sylvester Stallone was the host. Yeah,
13:33
Speaker 2: it didn't do well. There were fourteen Apprentice copies and
13:37
Speaker 2: none of them did well. Only Trump's Michael Crawford phanom
13:41
Speaker 2: of the Opera. Donald Trump loves fan of the Opera.
13:44
Speaker 2: You wouldn't think that, would you. You wouldn't think that'd
13:46
Speaker 2: be his kind of ship. But he loves it, loves
13:47
Speaker 2: the music, loves Michael Crawford. He got the Kennedy Center Award.
13:51
Speaker 4: Well, I don't think they're ever going to find anybody
13:53
Speaker 4: like you, Michael, Okay, I know something about that business.
13:55
Speaker 4: I don't think they'll find anybody like you.
13:58
Speaker 2: He was brilliant in the Phantom of the Opera. He
14:02
Speaker 2: was amazing in Phantom of the Opera. However, that's twenty
14:06
Speaker 2: eight years ago and he hasn't done much since. I
14:07
Speaker 2: guess he has, But you know, that's what he's best
14:10
Speaker 2: known for. I mean, musically, he's not I remember he's
14:14
Speaker 2: in Las Vegas for a while, one of those residencies.
14:17
Speaker 2: But it's great to see him get it and big
14:21
Speaker 2: happy crowd except for the left. Now, what they do
14:25
Speaker 2: They do the Kennedy Centers on a Sunday night and
14:27
Speaker 2: then they record it. It's a three or four hour
14:30
Speaker 2: deal and then they chop it down to two hours
14:32
Speaker 2: for a television special on CBS. That's been the routine
14:36
Speaker 2: for many, many years. So it was last night they
14:38
Speaker 2: recorded it. It will be seen December thirteenth on CBS,
14:42
Speaker 2: the edited version. Now, this will be interesting. It gets
14:46
Speaker 2: pretty good ratings. But of course the left wingers will
14:49
Speaker 2: not watch it. They'll go crazy. But we'll see, we'll
14:51
Speaker 2: see how well it does this year. Hey, we'll get
14:54
Speaker 2: to mom. Donnie coming up. He's made the decision. He
14:59
Speaker 2: will give up his rent controlled department. He will move
15:01
Speaker 2: into Gracy Mansion. Now, one of the reasons is security
15:04
Speaker 2: told him that it's really impossible for him to continue
15:07
Speaker 2: to live in an apartment building in Astoria. There's a
15:11
Speaker 2: lot of security around him, mayor, and they just it
15:13
Speaker 2: would be totally disruptive to the apartment building. You know,
15:17
Speaker 2: when you're the mayor, the governor Generally, you come into
15:20
Speaker 2: a building, they shut off the elevator. You know, no
15:23
Speaker 2: one else is allowed in the elevator, he except you
15:25
Speaker 2: and the security. So you can't do that in an
15:28
Speaker 2: apartment building. Also, they'd have to check everybody coming in
15:32
Speaker 2: and out all the time. You can't do it. So
15:34
Speaker 2: he'll move into Gracey Mansion. Pretty good socialist. They're living
15:39
Speaker 2: in a mansion, Gracy Mansion right on the water. We'll
15:42
Speaker 2: get into this more detail later. He's got this plan
15:45
Speaker 2: now to stop the sweeps of homeless people, the encampments.
15:50
Speaker 2: Of course, this is a disaster. Eric Adams has been
15:53
Speaker 2: doing a good job. You know, you may not have noted,
15:55
Speaker 2: maybe you did notice you see very few homeless people
15:58
Speaker 2: and you don't see any homeless camps anywhere. If he's
16:00
Speaker 2: stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
16:05
Speaker 2: on our part, New Yorkers about to see the repercussions
16:08
Speaker 2: of that. Yeah, so well, well we'll get into this
16:11
Speaker 2: and don't ma'm Donnie's ridiculous explanation, why I seem to
16:15
Speaker 2: do Hey, by the way, you know, you keep everybody's
16:17
Speaker 2: leaving New York. That's it. Everybody's leaving everybody's people are
16:21
Speaker 2: not leaving here. Actual statistics since the election. Real estate
16:27
Speaker 2: sales have been booming since Mam Donnie got elected. Since
16:31
Speaker 2: his election, eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have been
16:34
Speaker 2: signed in New York City. That's a little down, it's
16:38
Speaker 2: like down half a one percent, but it's pretty close
16:40
Speaker 2: to last year. Eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have
16:43
Speaker 2: been signed. Condo sales have been very strong since the election.
16:48
Speaker 2: Luxury deals very strong. Forty one contracts signed just last week.
16:52
Speaker 2: That's a lot. And you get on these big real
16:56
Speaker 2: estate guys, the big, big, big geniuses of real estate
17:00
Speaker 2: and banking. They know better, they see the future. JP Morgan,
17:04
Speaker 2: you know, just open this massive, massive new headquarters on
17:09
Speaker 2: Park Avenue. Ten thousand people can work in that building.
17:13
Speaker 2: So you think, well, that show's confidence. You know what
17:14
Speaker 2: shows even more confidence. Now I'm hearing JP Morgan's going
17:18
Speaker 2: to do a second building a block or two a way.
17:20
Speaker 2: They need a whole other building, another massive skyscraper they're
17:23
Speaker 2: going to do. And there's more examples of this. So
17:26
Speaker 2: these guys think New York will be fine. Anyway. We'll
17:28
Speaker 2: get back to Mom Donnie, We'll get to all of
17:30
Speaker 2: that coming up. We'll take some calls. Next eight hundred
17:33
Speaker 2: three to two one zero seven ten is the number
17:36
Speaker 2: eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
17:40
Speaker 1: If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
17:43
Speaker 1: time and tap the preset button.
17:45
Speaker 5: Now.
17:46
Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon Show on woor.
17:51
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Kim in Connecticut. Kim,
17:55
Speaker 2: how you doing good?
17:57
Speaker 6: Thanks? I've been listening with years about the recent homeless
18:03
Speaker 6: situation in New York. What Mandannie's doing there. I just
18:07
Speaker 6: wanted to say that this is spreading like a cancer.
18:10
Speaker 6: It is in Connecticut now among the socialist Democrats. Connecticut
18:18
Speaker 6: is totally run by the Democratic Party. You have two
18:21
Speaker 6: Democratic senators.
18:23
Speaker 2: Well, you got the two worst senators, two really really
18:26
Speaker 2: ugly bad senators, the really worst. Now your governor's not
18:31
Speaker 2: so bad. Your governor has moments of very very bad behavior.
18:38
Speaker 2: Maybe because Ned Lamont, the governor, was a business guy
18:40
Speaker 2: for many, many years, so he goes pretty left woke sometimes,
18:44
Speaker 2: but sometimes he goes very very common sense. But you've
18:48
Speaker 2: got Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, the two of the sleaziest,
18:52
Speaker 2: dirtiest public servants ever lying how many times these guys.
18:56
Speaker 2: Guy's been caught lying about anything and everything. Go to
19:00
Speaker 2: Mike in Florida. Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
19:05
Speaker 7: Before I make my point about the Democrats, can you
19:07
Speaker 7: believe it's been forty five years since John Lennon was killed?
19:11
Speaker 2: Wow? Forty years.
19:12
Speaker 7: Unbelievable. Forty five years. It's like mind boggling, isn't it.
19:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, right in front of the Dakota seventy second and
19:21
Speaker 2: Central Park West.
19:22
Speaker 7: Yeah, unbelievable. It's like surreal. Actually they think it's been
19:28
Speaker 7: that long. Yeah, But you were mentioning about the Democrats
19:32
Speaker 7: they have.
19:32
Speaker 2: They're so clever.
19:33
Speaker 7: You know, they have this quiver of issues that they
19:35
Speaker 7: like to put an arrow out, take an arrow out,
19:38
Speaker 7: and put it back in. You know, Epstein being one
19:40
Speaker 7: of them that you know, the the narco stuff that
19:44
Speaker 7: will disappear for a couple of weeks and then they'll
19:46
Speaker 7: bring it back. Then they'll bring out you know Maxine Nicely,
19:49
Speaker 7: Maxine Waters, you know, made her appearance. So they're starting
19:53
Speaker 7: to bring out the big guns to start, you know,
19:56
Speaker 7: hammering away. They're very clever at there.
19:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, you can't make the case that they're that clever
20:00
Speaker 2: because none of these things ever go anywhere. I mean,
20:02
Speaker 2: it gives them something to do at MSNBC, but they
20:05
Speaker 2: never amount anything. The Epstein thing went nowhere. The narco
20:08
Speaker 2: boats will go nowhere for them. None of them work
20:10
Speaker 2: in the end.
20:11
Speaker 7: Well, I just hope it doesn't have a cumulative effect,
20:14
Speaker 7: you know, on the mooters. It's not us, but too
20:17
Speaker 7: many other people seem to be able to.
20:20
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I know what you mean, but it's more
20:22
Speaker 2: just red meat for the Trump Arrangement syndrome crowd. You
20:24
Speaker 2: gotta throw them something every day. You know. They got
20:27
Speaker 2: a signal gate. That was a big one for a
20:29
Speaker 2: week or two. Signal gate, the using the signal. They
20:32
Speaker 2: were all fired up about that. It was all over
20:34
Speaker 2: CNN and MSNB. The normal people in the public, What
20:37
Speaker 2: the hell is signal gate? They're paying no attention to it.
20:40
Speaker 2: Same thing with the narco boats. They like seeing drug
20:42
Speaker 2: dealers blown up. They enjoy that. They think that's good
20:45
Speaker 2: for America, getting rid of all the fentanyl and cocaine
20:48
Speaker 2: and all. They like that. So it ends up going
20:50
Speaker 2: nowhere in the end. You know, the Epstein thing again,
20:56
Speaker 2: it just doesn't register. Most people don't care. Hey, By
20:58
Speaker 2: the way, I've talked to everybody that's read the Epstein
21:01
Speaker 2: files in detail. I mean, these are prosecutors in the
21:05
Speaker 2: US Attorney's office, These are FBI guys. Alan Dershowitz who
21:10
Speaker 2: was there, he was Epstein's lawyer, and they all say
21:13
Speaker 2: the same thing. They all seem to agree on one thing.
21:15
Speaker 2: There is nothing in these Epstein files that would surprise anybody.
21:21
Speaker 2: In fact, there are no names in their Every name
21:23
Speaker 2: you think it is going to be in every name
21:25
Speaker 2: has already been public. There's a couple of names that aren't,
21:28
Speaker 2: but they're like unknown business people. But all the names
21:31
Speaker 2: have already been made public. There's nothing in there. And
21:35
Speaker 2: when they say the Epstein files, it's mostly from the
21:38
Speaker 2: US Attorney's office here in Manhattan, the Southern District. And
21:43
Speaker 2: if you talk to people that have seen that file,
21:45
Speaker 2: what it is. It's just witness interviews. That's ninety eight
21:48
Speaker 2: percent of the file is just witness interviews and there's
21:51
Speaker 2: not much in there. Let's go to Paul in Whitestone. Paul,
21:54
Speaker 2: how you doing.
21:56
Speaker 8: Yeah, Mark, how are you doing good? You can't make
21:58
Speaker 8: this up?
21:59
Speaker 2: Contop nothing against you personally. Everybody has got to stop
22:04
Speaker 2: using that expression. You can't make this stuff up. You
22:07
Speaker 2: can make it up. It's offensive to the great writers
22:10
Speaker 2: and novelists and screenwriters. You can very easily make this
22:14
Speaker 2: kind of stuff up. In fact, there are guys that
22:16
Speaker 2: do that all day long for a living. So nothing
22:18
Speaker 2: against you, though, Go ahead, all right.
22:21
Speaker 8: A communist who wants to abolish prisons and police is
22:25
Speaker 8: going to live in a mansion for quote, his family safety.
22:29
Speaker 8: I don't want to hear it. If the police advise this,
22:31
Speaker 8: he should stand for his principles and say no, I'm
22:35
Speaker 8: going to stay in the story. I'm going to not
22:37
Speaker 8: have police protection. But he's not going to do that
22:40
Speaker 8: because he's like every other communist leader, and the young,
22:43
Speaker 8: selfish idiots who voted for him because they want free
22:46
Speaker 8: stuff are about to learn a harsh lesson.
22:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it happens. Who is it that said great
22:52
Speaker 2: Commas said, we have to go through this every twenty years.
22:56
Speaker 2: We have to let him do their socialism experiment. Let
22:58
Speaker 2: it fail so the new generals can see how bad
23:01
Speaker 2: it is. But again, nobody out there ever say again,
23:05
Speaker 2: you can't make this stuff up. I remember sitting with
23:08
Speaker 2: I A'll mentioned names a couple of great screenwriters, and
23:10
Speaker 2: someone said you can't make this up, and they got
23:12
Speaker 2: very offended. They said, you can. That's what we do
23:15
Speaker 2: for a living. We can make up stuff even more
23:18
Speaker 2: far fetched than this. It's easy to do. Hey, when
23:21
Speaker 2: we come back. Michael Goodwin has been out of action
23:24
Speaker 2: for a couple of weeks, but Liz Peak the Brilliant
23:26
Speaker 2: Columnists will be with us next on seven to ten wor.
23:31
Speaker 1: More, Mark Simone on sevent ten wor well.

23:41
Speaker 2: You should check it every day. Sign up for the
23:44
Speaker 2: daily briefings. It's great news and analysis. Lizpeak dot com.
23:48
Speaker 2: Lizpeak dot com, make sure you sign up for the
23:52
Speaker 2: daily briefing every day. Good stuff, Liz Peak. How you doing, I'm.
23:57
Speaker 5: Terrific better for speaking with you.
23:59
Speaker 2: Hey, hear that the big drug lords, the cartel bosses,
24:03
Speaker 2: had tears in their eyes yesterday watching these Sunday shows,
24:06
Speaker 2: so grateful to the host for sticking up for them,
24:09
Speaker 2: defending them in their narco boats. How much longer do
24:13
Speaker 2: we have to listen to this from the Democrats?
24:16
Speaker 9: I mean, Mark, don't you really begin to sort of
24:18
Speaker 9: think what are the Democrats doing? What do they stand
24:22
Speaker 9: for as the public looks at the Democratic Party? Now,
24:26
Speaker 9: they stand for illegal immigration, they stand for effectively embracing recidivism,
24:32
Speaker 9: not putting anyone in jail, and all these god awful
24:35
Speaker 9: stories week after week, just like the light train stabbing,
24:39
Speaker 9: the second one again as someone who's been convicted of
24:43
Speaker 9: many times an illegal immigrant, I mean, what are the
24:47
Speaker 9: they embrace fraud? They're opposed twenty six states won't let
24:52
Speaker 9: the federal government look at their SNAP programs and their
24:55
Speaker 9: medicaid programs. Why, I mean, fraud is a serious hundreds
25:01
Speaker 9: of billions of dollars every year and that is, by
25:04
Speaker 9: the way, coming a statistic coming from Joe Biden's administration
25:08
Speaker 9: are lost to waste and fraud by our federal welfare programs.
25:12
Speaker 9: What is it that the Democrats are offering people that
25:16
Speaker 9: they can possibly like? And as you say, the final
25:19
Speaker 9: thing standing up for narco traffickers, that is really a
25:23
Speaker 9: winning argument.
25:25
Speaker 2: My god?
25:26
Speaker 5: What is wrong with these people?
25:28
Speaker 2: So whenever it comes to Democrats and homeless programs, money
25:32
Speaker 2: seems to have vanished. You remember we had the Deblasi
25:34
Speaker 2: administration with that thrive in dollars billion missing now in
25:39
Speaker 2: this Somali, Minnesota, Tim Waltz, whatever this is, they're talking
25:44
Speaker 2: about maybe up to eight billion missing. Mom Donnie is
25:47
Speaker 2: now talking about a homeless program. Does that mean another
25:50
Speaker 2: billion is going to get lost somewhere?
25:52
Speaker 5: Sure?
25:53
Speaker 9: Sure, because among other things, none of these people has
25:57
Speaker 9: real world private sector or experience. So, you know, I
26:02
Speaker 9: think it was Jamie Dimond yesterday on Maria's Maria Bartiromo
26:07
Speaker 9: show talking about the city is three hundred thousand people
26:10
Speaker 9: and basically, successful mayors are people who can manage. Well,
26:14
Speaker 9: do you think this guy has any management capabilities at all?
26:18
Speaker 5: Of course he doesn't.
26:19
Speaker 9: He hasn't read, he hasn't run a business, He hasn't
26:22
Speaker 9: run any Most Democrats, by the way, have never run
26:26
Speaker 9: a business. Which is a very interesting differential in my view,
26:30
Speaker 9: between Republicans and Democrats. When Democrats get fired, they get
26:34
Speaker 9: voted out of a job, what do they do? They
26:36
Speaker 9: run for another office because they don't know how to
26:38
Speaker 9: run a restaurant or build a house or anything.
26:41
Speaker 5: Practical.
26:42
Speaker 9: Republicans can go back to farming or running a car
26:44
Speaker 9: dealership or you know name it. I mean, actually, if
26:47
Speaker 9: you look at seriously, what you know Congress people and
26:51
Speaker 9: mayors and stuff do after retirement. They either go to
26:54
Speaker 9: work for MSNBC if they're Democrats, or they go to
26:58
Speaker 9: Harvard to teach, like build a Blasio or Lori Lightfoot,
27:02
Speaker 9: or they run for another office. Look at Andrew Como.
27:05
Speaker 9: He couldn't think of anything else to do, so we
27:06
Speaker 9: ran for mayor of New York. That didn't turn out well,
27:09
Speaker 9: So what's he going to do. He's probably going to find,
27:11
Speaker 9: you know, mayor of Buffalo or something next to run for.
27:14
Speaker 5: It's really pitiful.
27:16
Speaker 9: But anyway, Mandani taking on a lot of money to
27:20
Speaker 9: spew at the homeless. You know, his latest thing on
27:23
Speaker 9: homelessness is he's no longer going to enforce the eradication
27:28
Speaker 9: or the cleaning out of the homeless encampments.
27:30
Speaker 5: Who does that benefit Mark? Who is really applauding that move?
27:35
Speaker 9: It certainly isn't the residents of the neighborhoods where these
27:37
Speaker 9: homeless encampments spring up, Because their lives are going to
27:41
Speaker 9: be made a mess by the fact that you're going
27:44
Speaker 9: to have this sprawl of dirty, sometimes violent homeless in
27:50
Speaker 9: community that kind of erupts in their midst It isn't
27:54
Speaker 9: good for the homeless some seventy percent of whom are
27:57
Speaker 9: drug users or alcoholics.
28:00
Speaker 5: Because they aren't going to get any treatment.
28:02
Speaker 9: They prefer to live on the street because they can
28:05
Speaker 9: continue to abuse drugs and alcohol. It isn't good for them.
28:09
Speaker 9: Who is it good for? I mean, I really ask
28:11
Speaker 9: that at all sincerity. Who does he think he's benefiting there?
28:15
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, here in the radio business, we want
28:18
Speaker 2: to do something. Sometimes we see what happened in other
28:20
Speaker 2: stations did it and they come in with the report
28:22
Speaker 2: forty seven stations did it and the ratings plunged all
28:25
Speaker 2: forty seven times, So we know not to do it now.
28:28
Speaker 2: In the case of Mamdani, and he's a very smart
28:30
Speaker 2: guy when they show him thirteen other cities did it
28:33
Speaker 2: and with disaster, why can he take in that information
28:37
Speaker 2: and calculate all this.
28:39
Speaker 9: Well, it's the same thing with rent control, right. Rent
28:43
Speaker 9: control has never ever worked anywhere, and so nonetheless he
28:48
Speaker 9: is very in favor of capping rent increases on subsidized housing,
28:52
Speaker 9: even though it has been proven time after time that
28:56
Speaker 9: what you do is disincentivize landlords from any money, any
29:01
Speaker 9: investment into the housing stock, so basically you end up
29:04
Speaker 9: with worse off less affordable and crumbling housing. So to
29:10
Speaker 9: your point, why doesn't he learn from that? Why don't
29:13
Speaker 9: the young people out protesting in favor of socialism learn
29:17
Speaker 9: from the fact that, never error has socialism resulted in
29:22
Speaker 9: anything but increase poverty and, by the way, increase wealth disparities.
29:27
Speaker 5: I mean, look at Venezuela, a very good example.
29:30
Speaker 9: So the answer to your question is because ideologues like
29:34
Speaker 9: Mom Donnie don't really ever look at facts. They don't
29:38
Speaker 9: look at common sense answers. They are wedded to an
29:43
Speaker 9: ideological approach, whether it's climate change or just social justice
29:48
Speaker 9: or whatever that basically is a failure. But then you know,
29:52
Speaker 9: nobody's around to kind of blame them for the failure usually,
29:56
Speaker 9: so they just kind of go on and do what
29:58
Speaker 9: they want. But it's a fact free zone that Mom
30:02
Speaker 9: Donnie is living in.
30:03
Speaker 5: It's true.
30:05
Speaker 2: Is it just childish? That's like a you know, a
30:07
Speaker 2: childish teenager. Is it something sounds good? They do it.
30:10
Speaker 2: They don't think of the consequences.
30:11
Speaker 9: So yeah, yes, because because just what you said, there's
30:15
Speaker 9: no consequences. What are the consequences if he blows a
30:19
Speaker 9: billion dollars over the next four years on homelessness?
30:23
Speaker 5: Look at Gavin Newsom.
30:24
Speaker 9: How much money has Gavin Newsom spent on homeless projects
30:29
Speaker 9: in California only to see the money disappear, the homeless
30:33
Speaker 9: population continue to grow, et cetera.
30:36
Speaker 5: Does any It's incredible to me.
30:39
Speaker 9: How is it the voters don't say, well, wait a minute,
30:41
Speaker 9: didn't you just ask for five billion dollars for that?
30:44
Speaker 9: Where did that money go? Show us the money? Show us,
30:48
Speaker 9: you know, let's have accountability. There is never accountability. It
30:52
Speaker 9: is mystifying.
30:53
Speaker 2: So is the real problem that we don't have legitimate
30:56
Speaker 2: news organizations anymore. If we had real news and media,
30:59
Speaker 2: there would become sequences. Newsom would be a town day
31:01
Speaker 2: and night. So how do you run a democracy with
31:04
Speaker 2: corrupt news?
31:05
Speaker 5: I think that's part of it.
31:07
Speaker 9: I actually think what sort of tragic is we have
31:09
Speaker 9: people who listen to one side or another kind of
31:12
Speaker 9: depending on their politics. They listen to Fox News, they
31:15
Speaker 9: listen to you, or they listen to CNN and ms
31:20
Speaker 9: now or whatever it's called, and people get very little
31:23
Speaker 9: cross fertilization.
31:24
Speaker 5: I think that's fair.
31:25
Speaker 9: Very I read, and I'm sure you read publications on
31:29
Speaker 9: the other side. A lot of people simply don't they
31:31
Speaker 9: don't want to know, They don't want to hear, and
31:34
Speaker 9: you know what, that's not good for our country. I
31:37
Speaker 9: hope at some point there really are news organizations that
31:40
Speaker 9: will cover, you know, stories from both sides. I was
31:45
Speaker 9: listening to was it Margaret Brennan who interviewed Elan Omar yesterday?
31:51
Speaker 5: You know, and you just want to kind of put
31:52
Speaker 5: your head through the wall.
31:53
Speaker 9: It's like, really, you're not going to challenge her on
31:56
Speaker 9: the fact that the Somalis have been perpetuating these frauds.
32:00
Speaker 5: But by the way, it's not that big a community.
32:02
Speaker 9: If there were hundreds of people, which probably there were
32:05
Speaker 9: involved in scamming of the three different programs, they acted
32:11
Speaker 9: like it was just one three different programs that they
32:13
Speaker 9: took billions of dollars from. Don't you think an awful
32:16
Speaker 9: lot of Somalis knew what was going on?
32:18
Speaker 5: I do.
32:19
Speaker 9: And and for her to just sort of accept that, oh, yeah,
32:23
Speaker 9: Somali's really are the victims here, I don't know, it's
32:26
Speaker 9: pretty discouraging.
32:28
Speaker 2: She was funny yesterday. Whatever idiotic explanation Omar gave, she
32:32
Speaker 2: just nodded like a bubble head.
32:34
Speaker 5: Yeah, just nodded, right.
32:35
Speaker 9: I mean, it's like, But the best media breakout yesterday
32:41
Speaker 9: was Leslie Stall deciding that Marjorie Taylor Green was the
32:45
Speaker 9: person she needed to interview for sixty minutes. So Marjorie
32:49
Speaker 9: Taylor Green, someone who has been totally widely chastised, debunked,
32:55
Speaker 9: criticized on the left, loads on the left as being
32:59
Speaker 9: a conspiration theorists and all the rest. Now she's acceptable
33:03
Speaker 9: because she's gonna blast Donald Trump. I mean, really, isn't
33:06
Speaker 9: that just incredible?
33:08
Speaker 2: Yeah? Pretty pretty transparent though, Oh my gosh, well, great stuff. Hey,
