FULL SHOW: Is the affordability crisis only in blue states? More details about Mamdani.

The House of Representatives will vote today on whether to release all the Jeffrey Epstein files. If Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani does not retain NYPD Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, could this impact crime rates in the city? Mark interviews streaming host Bill O'Reilly. Bill joins Mark to discuss whether the Democratic Party is headed for another failed attempt at attacking Trump after the Epstein files are released. O'Reilly suggests that Zohran Mamdani may need to offer President Trump something in exchange for a meeting and speculates that Zohran could propose an immigration policy that pleases the President. Investor Warren Buffett and President Trump share a love of unhealthy food - and both remain in good shape. Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. Ed discusses the Republican Party's need to reevaluate after Democrats swept the November 4th election. Rollins predicts a toss-up as to how New York City will fare under a Mamdani administration.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, this is no Mark Simon Show on seven ten. Woo.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, hey, the Epstein Files. The vote is coming today.
We'll get to that. We'll get to Mom, Donnie and
all the latest. We'll get to Thanksgiving. We'll get to
twenty twenty eight, there is a front runner and what
are the odds of that front runner getting a nomination.
We'll get to Kathy Hokeel You're not gonna like this.
We'll get to Trump's schedule for the day, some controversial meetings,

(00:30):
and we'll get to Tariff's and a whole lot more so.
If you woke up this morning and try to check
Twitter or a lot of sites, they were down. There
was a big Internet outage. Cloud Fair, the big Internet
cloud that supports all of that, so chat GPT was down.
Number of sites were down. If you go into some

(00:51):
of your favorite websites and they're not working. Internet outage.
The biggest one was Twitter x being totally disabled. By
now they're looking at whether it was some sort of
hack or something. They're saying it was unusual traffic that
caused it. That sounds like a hack, but we'll see
that's the most frightening hack of all. Imagine if somebody
knocked out the Internet. How would you exist? How would

(01:13):
you survive? You know, if you've got in a time
machine and you went back about twenty five years, thirty years,
you wouldn't know what to do all day. You could
watch TV, you could make phone calls on a landline,
you could read an actual physical newspaper, but when you're

(01:34):
walking around you'd have nothing. Nothing. How do you check
your email? Well, it didn't exist back then. You'd have
to wait to get a letter in the mail. It
was a very strange world back then. Now Epstein Files
House will vote today. They are expected to vote overwhelmingly

(01:54):
to release all the files. Then it goes to the
Senate and we'll see what the Senate does. Most likely
vote to release it. Now, remember the president has control
of the files. He could release him anytime. Now here's
the other products. They vote to release them. When would
that happen? Well, believe it or not? What's today? Tuesday?

(02:14):
Thursday is the final day of Congress. Then they go
on like an eleven day vacation for Thanksgiving. Yeah, that's right,
So it wouldn't happen till well after the Thanksgiving holiday.
But the president, if he wants to could start releasing
them tonight, or good time to release him was during Thanksgiving,
during the vacation member's way or Friday night. Just release
them Friday night. Could start doing that, he has said,

(02:39):
and he's got a good point. It's basically democrats in
the file. Trump is asked yesterday all day about the Hey,
by the way, his voice is hoarse yesterday, he's got
a horse voice and it's a raspy voice. Now he
actually told reporters he's not sick. He said he was
yelling at somebody for a long time, and that's why
he was horse yelling at another country and a trade deal.

(03:01):
I feel great.

Speaker 3 (03:02):
I was shouting at people because they were stupid about
something having to do with trade in a country, and
I straighten it out.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah, so they were fighting about tariffs, and now Democrats
will tell you how bad tariffs are. They'll argue against tariffs.
They'll keep screaming about tariffs because if you put a
tariff on a corporation or a business, it's going to
cause them to have to raise their prices. So if
you think, well, that sounds good, you got to remember it.
Nobody puts more tariffs on businesses than Democrats, they call

(03:35):
it corporate tax increase. Increase the corporate tax, Well, that's
a tariff. It's just done here in this country. So
if you think tariffs would make the price of goods
go up, obviously, if you increase the corporate tax, if
you raise the tax rates on those corporations, that's a tariff.
It's going to cause exactly the same price increase. In fact,

(03:57):
more of a price increase, because there's really nothing you
do when you do tariffs. It's coming from another country,
so there's another company involved, and there's like three middle
men in between. Some of them can all take a
little cut and avoid the price increase. But when you
put the tariff on the corporation in the United States
and you call it an increase in corporate tax, there's

(04:18):
no middle men, nobody. The corporation has to raise the price.
So Trump, with his raspy voice, was asked about the
Epstein files, and he's all for releasing him.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
We have nothing to do with Epstein and Democrats. All
of his friends were Democrats.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
You look at this.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
Redhoff and you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton. They
went to his island all the time. Many of this
oral Democrats.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Now, he's got a point there. Trump had nothing to
do with Epstein. He was friendly with him a million
years ago for a year or two, found out what
he was up to, cut him off, threw him out
of Marrow Lago. That's twenty years ago. So that was
the end of Epstein. F him twenty one years ago. Actually,
but all his friends were Democrats. Now, I'm sure there's
a couple of Republicans mixed in there somewhere, I'm sure,

(05:01):
but you got to remember one of the reasons all
his friends are democrats. Epstein was a guy operating in
New York, the Upper East Side, in a democratic world.
In the world that Epstein existed in, it was mostly
you know, it's like New York politics, it's mostly Democrats.
So you know Larry Summers Harvard. By the way, Larry
Summers was the president of Harvard. He was Clinton's treasury secretary.

(05:24):
He's the first victim of these Epstein files being released. Now,
some of them got released because they came from the
estate of Jeffrey Epstein, which had all of his texts
in his emails. That the Larry Summers stuff has been released,
it's very embarrassing. He's a married man who's running around
with women all over the world, and he's Larry Summers.
He's not exactly a dashing playboy type, so he's not

(05:48):
very good with these women. So he's constantly texting Epstein
for advice. You know, she told me this, she said,
she's busy. What do I do? I was supposed to
see her this weekend. She canceled. What do I do?
He's begging Epstein for advice on how to woo these
women or win them back, and one of them even
calls Epstein's wingman. So it's embarrassing. Now this is Larry Summers,

(06:11):
who has he just said he's going to withdraw. Now
you put out a statement at Harvard. I am deeply
ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused,
Summers wrote, I take full responsibility for my misguided decision
to continue communicating with mister Epstein. So he's not apologizing

(06:35):
for what he did, the cheating the women. He's just
apologizing for communicating with mister Epstein. And you gotta wonder
what kind of idiot puts this in writing. Why is
he texting this and emailing this? Why don't you call him?
You know, certain things. You don't put it in writing.
You call and you do it verbally. You remember Pauline
and Goodfellows. He said, you never talk on the phone

(06:58):
if you can talk in person, and you're never talk
in person if you can nod. So Larry Summer's got
to learn this stuff if he's gonna do all this cheating.
Summers is withdrawing from a public stuff. What is that? Well,
he has a lot of roles. He's a senior fellow
at the think tank Center for American Progress. That's one

(07:20):
of those left wing kook sites on one of those
Soros funded kind of deals. He's a paid columnist with
Bloomberg News, another left wing thing. He's a board member
at Open AI's. He says he will remain as a
professor at Harvard, but he will while continue to fulfilling
my teaching obligations. He says, I will be stepping back

(07:42):
from public commitments as part of my broader effort. So
he's one of the first guys just to be damaged.
His career messed up by Epstein. The files listen. There's
no such thing as a client list. Epstein did not
have a set business. There were always a lot of
women at his parties of all ages. These young girls.

(08:06):
Epstein liked the young girls. That was for him, that
was his little fetish, these young girls. Now, there may
have been a friend or two that got involved with that.
Prince Andrews believed had gotten involved with that, but you're
not going to find. There's no such thing as a
client list. He wasn't running a sex business. The only
client list he had was for his wealth management business.

(08:26):
And that's only about six names. Here's more of Trump
on Epstein.

Speaker 3 (08:30):
No matter what we gave is never enough.

Speaker 4 (08:31):
You know.

Speaker 3 (08:32):
With Kennedy, we gave everything, and it wasn't enough. With
Martin Luther King, we gave everything, and it's never enough.
We've already given. I believe the number is fifty thousand pages,
fifty thousand pages, and it's just a Russia Russia Russia
hoax as it pertains to the Republicans.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah, he's got a good point there. If they release
everything in the world democrats in the media, you know
how crazy they get with their Trump derangement syndrome, they'll
be screaming it. The things have been redacted. It's a
cover up. They destroyed, they scrubbed. No matter what you release,
it won't be enough. You know, the assassination attempt on
President Trump. There's a good example. There's an excellent example.

(09:15):
We're watching live on TV as a guy shoots at him,
and Democrats in the media, many of them. You remember this,
They started saying it wasn't real and if you look
at his ear, the way the blood came out wasn't real.
It was obviously faked. It was obviously stage. Well, what
about the guy that got shot behind him and his
dead well, that who They changed the subject. It's always
these weird conspiracy theories. So no matter what is released,

(09:38):
it won't be enough. I don't care.

Speaker 5 (09:39):
About it released or not what I think you should do.
If you're going to do it, then you have to
go into Epstein's friends. This read often spent a lot
of time on the island. Why was debor on his island?
Bill Clint is there supposedly twenty eight times?

Speaker 2 (09:57):
Yeah, you know, all these reporters, all these microphones in
front of Trump. When it turns out Epstein, Epstein, Epstein,
where are they? Why aren't they in Schappaquay? I asked
Bill Clinton these questions. Go find ried Hoffman and ask
him these questions. Ask Epstein's real friends. Trump knew him
briefly a million years ago, but ask his friends of
the last twenty years these questions. But you know in
the media, they're not going to do that.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
They can do whatever they want.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Uh Yeah, So anyway, let's get to Mom Donnie. It
looks like Jessica Tish will stay for the time being.
We don't know what will happen, but they've had a
couple of conversations and Mom Donnie is now being a
little more positive about her staying.

Speaker 6 (10:35):
I do want her to stay, and I made that
commitment during the election. That's something that I continue to believe.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Will she stay in that office.

Speaker 7 (10:42):
I continue to be confident in my decision.

Speaker 2 (10:43):
She has said more than once that the officers, she
wants more of them, and you don't. You don't have
that in your in your in your positions.

Speaker 6 (10:50):
Yet I think that the number of officers that we
have is the right amount. I think the better question, frankly,
that is often lost in our politics is how do
we keep those officers on the force?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
No, No, that's interesting because under certain conditions, like Mom Donnie,
you got officers resigning or taking their pension and getting out,
or a lot of them go somewhere else, and you know,
you know a lot of them live in Nassau County, Suffolk, Rockland.
They'll go join that police force. But that's interesting. Of course,
we were assuming he's telling the truth. Who knows what
this guy that he doesn't want to lose any officers,

(11:21):
that he does want to keep the current amount. Jessica
tish that you want to be mayor. I am a
public servant, not a politician. Okay, but you know there
may be a call for you to jump into the
mayor's race. Would you consider if there was a big
recruitment being know.

Speaker 8 (11:36):
My dream was to be the sanitation commissioner.

Speaker 9 (11:39):
I remember when you were a really dared dream of
being police commissioner.

Speaker 2 (11:44):
But this is the job for me for sure. Sorry,
now that these are very political answers. Now you got
to remember mom, Donnie once he gets into office has
just I'm assuming he wants to be re elected and
be mayor for a second term. He's got to worry
about his competition and he's already fighting with a lot

(12:05):
of Democrats. You know, somebody might try to primary him out.
There was Brad Lander who was in that primary. He
and Lander have had some sort of a breakup and fight,
and he made a very weird announcement, Brad Lander will
have no role in my administration. So it's a real
slap in the face to him and that Democratic Socialist Association,
whatever that is. Apparently there's some fighting there between Mom

(12:27):
Dannie and them. But he's got to worry about the
opponent next time around, and Jessica Tish would be a
very very likely one. So he's got a figure. What
can he do to keep her on the team. That's
another reason he might want to keep her as police commissioner,
because if she continues to work for him, it would
look too weird to run against him all of a sudden.

(12:48):
It would look a little treacherous. So he might want
to keep her there for that reason. Also, if he
gets rid of her, if she leaves, she could get very,
very very vocal about what's wrong with him and what
he's doing wrong and be a serious critic. This may
sound crazy, but don't be surprised if Eric Adams tries
to run against him when he's up for reelection. There

(13:10):
may be a battle between him and Adams. They're already
sniping at each other here's mom Donald.

Speaker 7 (13:15):
New Yorkers are on the brink of being priced out
of the city that they call home, and his actions
have little to do with that affordability crisis. And what
they show, in fact, is why New Yorkers are so
desperate for a new administration, one that will focus on
the needs of the city and we'll look to speak
to working class New Yorkers as to what those needs

(13:35):
are as opposed to war criminals.

Speaker 2 (13:37):
There's a lot of double talk from this guy. But
this affordability crisis is taking place. But if you'll notice,
it's only taking place in blue cities wherever Democrats are
running things, that's where you get the affordability crisis. And
we get a real left wing socialist type democrat, you
get a real affordability crisis. That's where it's the worst.

(13:58):
And I love how these democrats talking about the affordability
crisis in New York. Well, New York's been run by
Democrats for fifteen years. Every inch of it is Democrats.
It's the mayor's a Democrat, the Governor's a Democrat, the
City Council is a Democrat. The Legislature, the Senate, the
Assembly all Democrats. So if you've got an affordability crisis,
you can blame the Democrats. And again, look around the country.

(14:21):
You got a red state, red city, pretty good, think
economy is booming, blue city, blue state. You got an
affordability crisis. So hey, we'll get to twenty twenty eight.
Coming up, Newsom. Gavin Newsom still way out in the
lead in all the polls. Every bit of polling shows
Newsom way out in front. And now, if you check
historically it comes to Democrat nominations, whoever the early front

(14:45):
runner is always gets the nomination every time. The only time,
the only one exception, Hillary Clinton in two thousand and eight.
That's the only exception. But that's because an extraordinary guy,
Barack Obama, I mean extraordinary as far as a personality,
articulate Cayman just took the nomination from her in two

(15:08):
thousand and eight. But every other case, whoever's the front
runner now gets the nomination. Right now, Gavin Newsom way
out in front. Hey, next year's the governor's election here
in New York, latest poll shows Hochel I don't mean upset,
but the latest poll shows hocal with a twenty point

(15:29):
lead over Elise Stephonic twenty points over Elise Stephonic. Now,
of course that's very very early. A lot of people
aren't familiar with her. Yet things could change. And if
you're Bruce Blakeman, you got to be looking at that
saying twenty point lead. I don't know if I want
to jump into that, but Blakeman would probably be a
much stronger candidate than a Lease Stephonic. I know they

(15:52):
say it's good to have a woman against a woman,
and I forget all that. At least Stephonic is great,
but she's a talker. She's a legislator. Blakeman's an executive,
a governor. Basically, he's the governor of Nassau County. That's
what a county executive is. He'd be the perfect replacement anyway,
Bill O'Reilly. In a few minutes, we'll take some calls.
Next eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is

(16:17):
the number eight hundred three two one zero seven.

Speaker 1 (16:20):
Ten, Mister George marks amount seven ten wr.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one zero
seven ten is the number eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten. Let's go to GINO, Upstate New York. Gino,
how you doing good?

Speaker 10 (16:41):
Mark?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
How are you Mark good? What's going on?

Speaker 10 (16:44):
Just want to ask you when you had that radio
show on Saturday Nights? Was the late eighties or the
early nineties?

Speaker 2 (16:51):
That was actually in the two thousands. You're talking about,
which one the Saturday night oldie.

Speaker 10 (16:55):
Show, Saturday Night with Sinatra?

Speaker 2 (16:57):
Oh, that was in the two thousand, two, two thousand
and three, something like that, oh.

Speaker 10 (17:01):
Two thousand. I just want to let you know I
taped every one of those shows. I got all your
tapes on cassettes.

Speaker 2 (17:07):
Cassettes, Yeah, cassettes.

Speaker 10 (17:11):
I went on board cassettes. I taped every day. I
listened to the show when I went to my woo
wood shop and I'm making things, and you have it
all day long with me.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
What do you play them? Do you have a cassette recorder,
a cassette player?

Speaker 11 (17:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 10 (17:22):
Yeah, have good ones?

Speaker 2 (17:23):
Yeah? All right, all right, thanks for calling Geno. Now,
believe it or not, all the shows I did in
the eighties and nineties are on cassettes. So at some point,
and there's millions of them with all the biggest names,
the biggest stars, this guest, I want to save them
and digitize them. It's a pain in the neck, finding

(17:44):
cassette recorders that still actually work, a cassette player that
still actually works. Dan, I got all the shows from
the two thousands. They're all on CDs, the early two thousands.
Not some of those. Believe when you record a CD
connect the sound could almost have to operate off them
twenty years later. It's not easy. Let's go to Georgia

(18:04):
and Long Island. George, how you doing.

Speaker 12 (18:07):
I'm fine, Mark, Just a quick comment. At least the
fanic is terrific. She's a Harvard girl, but she doesn't
have that one thing after her name with a D letter.
We could talk about Juliani, the other former Republican governor.
That's ancient history. It's New York is a democratic state,
and that's it. Unfortunately, it's my opinion.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Actually a lot of a lot of Republicans have been
elected governor, mayor. It happens all the time.

Speaker 12 (18:33):
You had many years ago, Mark.

Speaker 2 (18:36):
Last one was Bloomberg, last tackling.

Speaker 12 (18:41):
How many years ago is that?

Speaker 2 (18:42):
Well, it's not fifty years ago.

Speaker 13 (18:45):
It's like whatever it was twenty years ago. I don't
mean to your smarter guy than me.

Speaker 12 (18:50):
She doesn't have a chance. Can I say one other comment.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
No, no, I'm going to cut you off. You got
to stop with that. Yeah, have a chance. That's why
Republicans have a tough time art this mantra they did.
You did this to Curtis. You start the stupid mantra
a chance, you don't never chance, you don't have a chance,
and then you all talk yourself into it. That's why
you don't get any Republican turnout because you keep telling
every any Republican you start yelling a chance. Stop it.

(19:16):
Stop doing that. Let's go to Shelley in Long Island. Shelley,
how you doing.

Speaker 14 (19:21):
Hey, Mark, good morning, love the show.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
Mark.

Speaker 14 (19:24):
I love Trump more than anyone else. I'm not sure
maybe close companies.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
More than your husband.

Speaker 4 (19:35):
On that.

Speaker 14 (19:35):
But Mark, no one is really getting arrested for any
of the corruption, and it's getting Are.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
You talking about it? And you're talking about you got
Letitia James, you got two other.

Speaker 14 (19:48):
Fi I read in the New York Post today there's
an article that the prosecutors may have blown the Komy case.

Speaker 2 (19:56):
No, that's not that's not that's not what it said.
It didn't say anything kind. It said that there were
missteps in the prosecution and that they have to release
the whole grand jury transcript instead of partial and it
went to a higher court which ruled against the lower court.
And it's just little technical things. Now, Remember, the good
news is Komy is not arguing that he's not guilty.

(20:18):
He's arguing that there were procedural mistakes which can always
be corrected.

Speaker 14 (20:22):
All right, well, let's hope that we get a prosecution
because we really do.

Speaker 2 (20:25):
Well, you got one now taking place, actually have several
taking place right now, and the Kombe case, it's a
good sign that he couldn't argue anything except procedural stuff.

Speaker 14 (20:34):
So okay, well, thanks for your vote of confidence on that.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
All right, don't panic. Let's go to Joanne in New Jersey. Joanne,
how you doing?

Speaker 5 (20:43):
Hi?

Speaker 13 (20:43):
Mark?

Speaker 15 (20:44):
And this is a serious question. Are they going to
pat down Mamdani before it gets too temper?

Speaker 2 (20:52):
What do you mean search him?

Speaker 4 (20:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (20:55):
Oh yeah. Anybody goes into the White House, you go
through a metal detector, you go through the whole thing,
you go through an X ray machine. Yeah, everybody goes
through that.

Speaker 14 (21:02):
Yeah, okay, thanks Mark.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Yeah, you know, like if you go to mar A Lago,
if you went today right now on a Tuesday, tomorrow, Lago.
It's a lot of security. You get checked in and
all that you go there. But if Trump is there
and you go forget it, it's like a forty minute
process to get in there. You get searched, you got
to empty your pockets, you got to go through an
X ray machine, you get wanded. If you show up

(21:27):
in a car, they stop your car, they search your car.
They have a guy with a big long pole with
a mirror. They stick it under your car. With this mirror,
they look under your car. It takes like an hour
to get in there. So yeah, they do search everybody.
Let's go to sal in Long Island. Sal. How you doing?

Speaker 13 (21:45):
Yes, holy good morning.

Speaker 15 (21:46):
Yes.

Speaker 16 (21:47):
If when the police confiscate drugs, these large amount of drugs,
pounds of it, instead of just vouching and send it
and send it to be thrown away and dispose of,
how about they just lace it with some chemical that
makes the buyer sick.

Speaker 2 (22:06):
No, no, no, the police can't do that and they
can't do that. Hey, when we come back, Bill O'Reilly
will be with us next. Let's see what he thinks
about all of this. We'll get to that in the moment.
On seven to ten wor.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Give WR a bre said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in an instance.
Now back to the Mark Simo Show on wor.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Well number one TVA go for decades. The biggest best
selling non fiction author on Earth, Bill O'Reilly's latest book.
You should get it. It's Confronting Evil. It's a big
best seller in a great book, Confronting Evil. Also watch
his YouTube channel. He can get the TV show the column.
Everything's at Bill O'Reilly dot com. Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Bill O'Reilly.

Speaker 13 (22:50):
How you doing hanging chap Mark?

Speaker 2 (22:52):
How you I'm good? Hey? The Epstein files the Democrats
setting themselves up for a huge disappointment when they're finally released.

Speaker 13 (23:04):
I don't know if anybody really believes that there's anything
going to affect the outcome of the country in this.

Speaker 11 (23:11):
It's hope they're.

Speaker 13 (23:12):
Hoping it does. But I don't know anybody who really
believes that there's something in there that's going to topple
President Trump with the Republican Party. I mean, it would
just be inconceivable that that would be there because of
the Biden Justice Department would have known it.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
Yeah, it just.

Speaker 13 (23:36):
You know, if you follow logic, it just doesn't make
any sense. So this is all through hysteria, and you
know the late autumn people are bored. They don't know
what they do, and you know, the television networks gin
it up. But I'm not expecting anything.

Speaker 2 (23:56):
Yeah, you know the Democrats, I know they want to
get Trump, but they keep thinking there's some sort of
scandal that's going to bring him down, and they keep
looking for this scandal. But this is We're in the
tenth year of this. Now. Can they ever stop and
actually realize there's no scandal that's that's not the way
to bring it.

Speaker 13 (24:15):
It's like Fenton All. They can't stop, and they're just
addicted to it. They've got to do it every day,
you know, they can't. And you know people who hate
Trump like that, right, Yeah, I get emails from friends
they just hate them so much they've lost all capacity

(24:36):
for reason. And no, I thought Joe Biden was a
terrible president, and I get back that up one hundred ways.
And they really did a lot of damage to the
infrastructure of the country. But I didn't hate him, you know,
I didn't want to wish him ill. And but the Democrats,
particularly the progressives, have crossed over into that you we

(25:00):
want him to die, we want him to get cancer.
That's where they are. I mean, that's pretty unhealthy if
you ask me. Yeah, and no, I don't believe that
there's anything out there that hasn't been uncovered yet that's
going to prevent his last three years in office.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
Now, as the great historian Bill O'Reilly, was there ever
a period where we went through this before, where there
was some president where half the public was got enraged
at the mere mention of his name.

Speaker 13 (25:30):
Two very good questions. So in modern times, Ronald Reagan
was loathed by the left, but they didn't have the
vehicle to deliver the loathing. So you only had three
network television networks any of local news. And I was

(25:50):
working then, but in the newsrooms where I was visceral
hatred of Reagan, but there was no where to get
it out. Now, the difference is everybody's got a podcast,
everybody's social media. You know, it's around the clock, so

(26:13):
that makes it heightened. There have been presidents that have
been very alienating. Andrew Jackson bore a lot of people
didn't like him. Abraham Lincoln was probably the most vilified,
even more than Donald Trump. When I talked to the President,
he is nobody's ever gotten it as bad as I have.

(26:35):
And I said, with one exception, Abraham Lincoln. He doesn't
like to hear that, but it's absolutely true because the
South and those who believed in slavery really wanted him
dead Lincoln and they got their wish.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
Wow, Hey, mom, Donnie looks like he's going to meet
with Trump. What can actually come of such a meeting?
Mo'm Donnie and Trump?

Speaker 13 (27:00):
Well, as I said last night on television, I hope
everybody checks out the Noseman News bill. O'Reilly dot com
is where we live and you can get it in
a million different places. In order for Donald Trump to
meet with you, Mark Simone, okay or O'Reilly, you've got
to know what the meeting is going to entail. So

(27:24):
he just doesn't meet with people unless he knows what
it's about. And I'm kind of like that too. I mean,
I'm busy, and you know, I can't say come on
in for Coco. I you know, I just can't time
to do it with Mandanni. Mandannie's going to have to
give Trump something to get that meeting, and it was

(27:48):
the same thing. When I went to Beijing. I said,
if you want the president to come here to this city,
and this was in May. I said, you got to
give him some And now I think President Trump's gonna
go in April to Beijing. And then the Chinese communists
who were involved with this Q and A with me,

(28:11):
they were what might that be? And I said, well,
the easiest way is to get out of the fentanyl business.
And that's exactly what happened in Korea. And they said,
I mean, who knows what they do. So Man Donnie's
gonna have to say or his people will tell Trump's people. Look,
the mayor is willing to do this, and I assume

(28:31):
it'll be on immigration. I assume that'll be the area.
And if Trump thinks it's enough, then he'll say to
Man Donnie, all right, I'll give you an hour, come
on down to DC. That's how it works.

Speaker 2 (28:47):
That's fascinating. Now. I wouldn't it be better if he said,
promise me, you'll leave the police department alone, you won't
interfere with them.

Speaker 13 (28:56):
Well that would take place in the meeting itself, all right.
So the stairstep is this, and I hope Man Doon
is listening right now because he doesn't know. He's thirty
four years old. He doesn't know anything, all right, So
Mandonnie is going to have to give Trump something. He'll
probably be on immigration. He'll probably say, we're not gonna

(29:17):
bother the Ice agents. Just don't make a big show
out of it. They can operate and will cooperate when
they're looking for criminal migrants. That's probably what Mayor mandon
is going to say. Often he's not going to say it,
but his people will no one he gets into the
Oval office to the meeting, Trump will go is what

(29:38):
I want and he'll give ten things to Mandannie, confusing
the hell out of him because that's a technique that
most powerful people use. And on the sheet will be
you better not cut the police budget, because that's what
man Dottie wants to do. Let's take a billion dollars

(29:59):
out of the police budget, which pretty much defunds the police.
And he wants suspended on social workers or whatever crazy
thing he's got in his mind, which will never work,
and Trump will take that off the table for him.
But Trump is all the power. Man Donnie has no power,
So this is not even a fair fight. Or a

(30:19):
meeting of consequence, Man Dottie's got to go. Okay, mister
president or Trump will say, you know, kiss the federal
money goodbye. I'll hold it up and tell him out
of office. That's how it's going to go.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Well, it sounds like you're optimistic about this meeting. That's
something good will come of this.

Speaker 13 (30:37):
I don't know about that, because what they say and
what they do, they being politicians, are a lot of
times not the same. But you have to understand how
weak a position that man Donnie has. He has nothing.
He is no, he can't say anything to Trump that

(30:59):
matters because you know what I mean power, And the
same thing with Hochel, Hogle's is weak. If Hokle were
a strong governor, she could make basically strong arm and
Donnie into knocking off full of socialist garbage.

Speaker 11 (31:14):
But she's not.

Speaker 13 (31:15):
She's weak. She's afraid of the progressive left. But man
Donnah had no power in all butity. He has no
power in Washington. His his power very very limited. He
doesn't even have power over the unions, the teachers union
in New York and to do exactly what they want.
Man Donnie's not gonna be able to tell him what
to do. He'll be lucky if he gets the garbage

(31:37):
picked up three times a week. I'm not being fasicious.
If the sanitation Union doesn't want to pick up the garbage,
what is man Donnah going to do what? He's got
no power none. It's not like coach who if you
were up against Kotch, you better watch you backy thing

(32:00):
with Juliani, same thing with Bloomberg. Those guys that hurt you,
man that he can't hurt you.

Speaker 2 (32:08):
Yeah, that's a good point. Young guy with no experience
in government.

Speaker 13 (32:11):
Yeah, he's got no constituency. He's got a bunch of
people a little malice running around him. Tell him how
great Snowo was. Come on, it's ridiculous.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Well, everybody watch you Bill O'Reilly. Tonight you go to

(33:53):
We'll get to it right after the news on seven
to ten wor now.

Speaker 6 (33:58):
More Mark Simone war.

Speaker 2 (34:04):
Hey, I got a lot to get to this hour.
Two of the healthiest guys I know, Donald Trump Warren
Buffett Trump almost eighty works day and night. You've seen
them in action. Nobody has more energy. He could be
in three four states in one day. He could just
go NonStop all day and night. This is at seventy nine,

(34:25):
eighty years old. And what does he eat all day? Junk?
He eats McDonald's. He eats cheeseburgers, he eats drinks those milkshakes.
He eats nothing but junk all day now. Warren Buffett
ninety three, ninety four years old. This guy does not
eat anything except McDonald's. He said, breakfast at McDonald's, sausage

(34:45):
and eggs, sandwich from McDonald's every day of his life.
He eats McDonald's at night, or a steak. He eats
a lot of steak. He eats candy, sees candy, which
is incredible. Can he bought the company years ago? Eats
dairy Queen all the time. He bought the company years ago,

(35:06):
has peanut brittle for lunch, eats nothing but junk food.
Has the diet of a ten year old, eats junk
day and night. He's ninety three, healthy as can be.
How does he do it.

Speaker 17 (35:19):
Well?

Speaker 2 (35:19):
One thing Buffet always says, he gets eight hours of
sleep every night, non negotiable. He said, you can worry
about diet, exercise, all that, but sleep, eight solid hours
of good sleep every night more important for your health
than anything else. He reads. He works twelve hours a day,
just drinks diet coke like Trump, just drinks coke day

(35:40):
and night. That's all. He lives on his coke, which
is a lot of sugar and all that stuff. But
he said, what keeps him young, And it's the same
thing with Trump. He loves his work, lives with like
childlike joy, no stress. Both these guys have tremendous stress,
but to them it's not stress. They love what they're doing,
so it's not stress. You know, you go out and

(36:00):
buy a billion, four billion dollars worth of a stock.
There was a little stress in that, but they don't
feel it now. The only difference with Trump, he doesn't
sleep eight hours a night. He doesn't. But and these
this guy's as healthy as can be at that age,
so you can worry about diet and all that stuff,
but I don't know a lot of it is at geneticut.

(36:21):
Donald Trump made a big speech for McDonald's executive yesterday.
Speaking to McDonald's, he pointed out he was the only
fry cook ever in McDonald's history to become president of
the United States. He was the fry cook there for
about a half hour. But he was speaking at McDonald's.

Speaker 3 (36:35):
While other politicians fly around on campaign planes stocked with
expensive catering. On Trump Force one prior to ascending to
Air Force one, which is quite a nice plane. Also,
we served only McDonald's almost every time.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
On occasion we couldn't find.

Speaker 3 (36:52):
One, which is pretty hard to believe we'd go another route, but.

Speaker 5 (36:55):
We really did.

Speaker 2 (36:56):
You fed us very.

Speaker 3 (36:57):
Well, and I even got Bobby Kennedy to eat a
big mac.

Speaker 2 (37:01):
Well, don't feel guilty if you're eating the McDonald's. These
two guys as healthy as anybody, and that's all they eat.
Trump went on to talk about the you know this
big word of affordability, the crisis. That's a crisis. You know,
Biden had inflation of nine percent, Nobody mentioned it. Trump
gets it down to two point five percent. It's a
crisis all of a sudden, but Democrats won't let up.

Speaker 3 (37:24):
Nobody has done what we've done in terms of pricing.

Speaker 2 (37:28):
We took over a mess.

Speaker 3 (37:29):
We have the highest think of it, the highest inflation
in the history of our country. They say, forty eight years.
It was the history of our country. And now we
have normal inflation. We're going to get it a little
bit lower. Frankly, but we have normal. We've normalized it.
We have it down to a low level, but we're
going to get it a little bit lower.

Speaker 4 (37:47):
We want perfection.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
Yeah, Now, the cost of Thanksgiving, they always bring that
up this time of year. Walmart did that study.

Speaker 3 (37:53):
Walmart came up last week and they announced that Thanksgiving
this year is twenty five percent less, all of the
accoutrements that Thanksgiving is twenty five percent less than was
last year under sleepy Joe Biden.

Speaker 2 (38:07):
So now Democrats are arguing about that little Walmart's thing there.
They said that they switched the Thanksgiving dinner, they switched
certain things to generic versions, they had less items in
the Thanksgiving. Now it's still I trust Walmart more than
I trust these crazy Democrats. Scott Bessett, the Treasury secretary.

Speaker 8 (38:29):
Because economic damage is unacceptable. They call it self harm.
They were willing to harm the economy of the United
States to benefit a party and chaos.

Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, now what he's talking about is the shutdown. You
could say, what did they accomplish with the shutdown? They
got nothing for it. They can find a cave they
got nothing. Well, some people think the master plan was
to screw up the fourth quarter. We're in the fourth quarter,
and when the economic fourth quarter was results come in,
they'll be a little less because of the shutdown. You

(39:03):
had disruption for a month or so, total disruption. And
they're worried that Democrats might try to do this every
quarter because you'll get the you know, if you show
four percent growth, that looks bad. If you do the
shutdown and maybe you knock it down to three percent growth.
So they're worried they might try a shut down every
quarter just to get the numbers down. That would be

(39:26):
a frightening thing. Mom, Donnie takes over in. I don't
mean it's scary you, but it's January first. It's like
six weeks from now, Mom, Donnie takes over. He'll meet
with Trump before that hopefully Trump will get through to
him on some level. Mom Donnie talked about their big meetings.

Speaker 9 (39:45):
The President ran a campaign where he spoke about he
promised to deliver cheaper groceries and promise to reduce the
cost of living. We are seeing his actions and out
of his administration of Washington leading to the exact opposite
effect for the York persons. Did I will go to
make the case to the President and to anyone frankly,
that these are the kinds of things we need to change.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, well, actually, yeah. Trump has a track record of
getting prices down. He's got the price of oil down,
He's got the price of many groceries down. He's got inflation,
which hit nine percent under Biden down to two point
five percent. Biden's average inflation over the four years was
five percent. So Trump has cut it in half already
and it'll go lower next year. You know, you can't
expect him to fix the whole thing in nine months,

(40:29):
ten months, whatever it is. It's going to take a year,
a year and a half to get it really really moving.
But Mom Donnie has no trackord of getting anything done. Now,
this meeting will be interesting. Trump is very good when
he's meeting a peer. You know, when an older CEO,
a guy who's been in business for many years, Trump,
you know, can negotiate with a guy like that. I

(40:51):
don't know how good he is with a young a junior.
I was going to say a junior executive. But this
guy's never been an executive, A thirty four year old
who he's never had a job, a thirty four year old,
totally inexperienced guy. It's hard to negotiate with a guy
like that. Now, a lot of the stuff he does

(41:11):
when you go to see him might not work on Mom, Donnie,
Mom Donnie, the crazy young socialist. You know, whenever you
go to see Trump, he shows you around, He shows
you all these fancy things. He shows you all these
beautiful That's one reason he put all that stuff in
the oval office. Whenever you come to see him, he
likes to walk you around and show you things. You know,
he had this actual copy of the Constitution on the

(41:32):
wall and he opens the curtain shows it to you.
Or even those paintings are those things on the desk,
they're very rare historical things. So he likes to show
you stuff, and that's how he starts every meeting. You know,
it's a half hour of show and tell with that stuff.
I don't know if Mo'm Donnie. You know, he's not
exactly the most lover. He's not a great lover of

(41:53):
American history. I don't know if this stuff will resonate
with him. Eric Adams already squabb with Mom Donnie about
this and that.

Speaker 18 (42:01):
I think that when you talk about not doing business
with Israel, not willing to acknowledge that you're going to
march in Israeli Day parade, not being willing to state
you're going to come and visit Israel in other countries,
it sends the wrong message and he has to define that.
But I know those who are part of the DSA

(42:22):
and those who are marched in our streets saying horrific things,
that is a clear sign of anti Semitism to me.

Speaker 2 (42:29):
Yeah, that's a big problem with Mom, Donnie. There's no
arguing that one. But Eric Adams is in Israel as
we speak. He toured the tunnels where the hostages were
yesterday in Israel, making friends there, making deals. Probably there's
a lot of deals to be made there. He could
be useful in some ways, I guess. But this is.

(42:53):
He's not a great lover of history and historical sites.
He's a lover of wheeling and dealing. And that's when
we reason. I think he's over there. He's away. You know,
this is his final six weeks in office. You think
you'd be here doing stuff, but he's basically it sounds
like a vacation. But after Israel tomorrow, next stop, who's Bekistan? Now,

(43:16):
either he's got the world's worst travel agent, Who's Bekistan?
Or more deals to be made over there wheeling and dealing,
or is what does Curtis call it? Whining, dining and
pocket lining something going on. You know, Adams will need
to make a lot of money when he leaves, and
you can do that. As an ex mayor. You can

(43:38):
become very valuable to certain interest groups who will pay
you to represent them in the city. You know, you
still know a lot of people in government. You can
make a lot of phone calls, you can be their
unofficial lobbyist. So I imagine that's what Adams is doing
over there. Epstein files no vote yet, We'll see what happens.
At some point they'll be released. The Democrats, I was

(44:00):
gonna say, they're gonna have to accept it. But they won't.
But at some point they're gonna have to accept that
there is no Trump scandal. They keep looking into the
Trump thinking there's some scandal they'll find that it would
bring him down. There is no scandal nothing. There was
no mortgage fraud, there was no any of this, There
was nothing. There's no scandal anywhere. He's the most investigated

(44:23):
man in the history of the world and nobody has
found a damn thing. Now you might say, well, he's
convicted on seven hundred different convictions. None of them are real.
They're all getting tossed out one by one. That whole
Letitia James case is slowly but surely getting tossed out.
They keep delaying the appeals courts because they know it's
going to get tossed out. The Alvin braggcase totally going

(44:46):
to get tossed out. Nothing there. Our greatest legal scholarship said,
they still can't even figure out what the charge is.
The Egen Carrol case. That's a conviction, but nobody in
their right mind believes that story from this woman who
can't even tell you what year it was when it happened.
What was the other case, Oh, Georgia they're still proceeding

(45:07):
with that. Fannie Willis has been removed from the case,
but nobody's taking that one too seriously. So there's no scandal. Yeah,
Stormy Daniels, maybe maybe it's true he slept with the
with the porn star strip or whatever she was. Oh listen,
if you're going to throw people out because they cheated
on their wife, you'd lose everybody in Congress, you'd lose

(45:29):
half the presidents. That's everybody in Washington, DC. So there
is no scandal. They keep hunting for this, thinking there's
something like a Ralph Cramton. Aha, you're going to show
people and then they'll turn on Trump. You're not going
to find it. If there's a case to be made
against Trump, it's not with some scandal they've tried. They're

(45:49):
gonna try Epstein, and that's going to be a massive
failure for Democrats. Then they'll go I guess when that fails,
they'll go to Gallaine Maxwell. The demand to know she
got transferred to a nice, cushy prison. Well, if you
talk to people in the prosecuting or attorney business, they'll
tell you, as a first time offender for a nonviolent crime,

(46:13):
she never should have been in the other prison, the
extremely bad violent prison. First time non violent offenders don't
go there. The type of prison she's in now is
where you would normally get sent so they simply corrected
the extremism of that court. Also, a lot of experts
will tell you she was over sentenced. It's not supposed

(46:33):
to be seventeen years, supposed to be more like seven
years for what she did. So at some point they'll
have to just give up on that, but they never will.
The other question you got to remember is why didn't
Biden release these files. Biden had the Epstein files and
he went through them. His Justice Department went through them
for four years. They never found anything on Trump they

(46:56):
could use. They never released the files. Now, some if
you ask people in the Biden misteries, well why didn't
you release the files, they'll tell you that while we
were still investigating Gallaine Maxwell. Yeah, but that was year one.
Then she got convicted. Well, we thought there would be appeals,
and if it's an appeal, we can't release the file. Okay,
that's year two three. Why didn't you Well, there might

(47:18):
have been ongoing adjacent investigations. We didn't want to come
it doesn't. It doesn't pass the smell test those explanations.
Let me check and see if Twitter is back. There
was a big internet outage. Oh yeah, it looks like
it's back. The cloud that they used, cloud Fare went
out this morning. So if your Twitter wasn't working or

(47:40):
some of your websites, there was a huge internet outage
this morning. That's the reason. Hey, yeah, next week is Thanksgiving.
It's the week before Thanksgiving. I'm starting to hear that
Christmas music everywhere. I got to go down the hall
the Light FM. Are they playing Christmas music yet?

Speaker 12 (47:56):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (47:56):
It starts Friday, the Christmas music right. Who might argue?
It gets enormous, enormous ratings, unbelievable ratings. It's basically one
hundred and twenty five songs. There's one hundred and twenty
five big Christmas hits. They just rotate them over and
over again for a month and a half. But it
does very very well. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.

(48:20):
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 19 (48:28):
Get hits and access to Mark by setting a pre
set in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and
his podcast.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
Now back to the Mark Dumon Show on wor.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Harry in
Long Valley. Where is Long Valley?

Speaker 4 (48:46):
Harry, Well, it's not too far from Morristown, New Jersey
or Hacketstown.

Speaker 15 (48:51):
Oh okay, probably right in the middle. I was just
listening to this morning, Mark, and good morning. You're talking
about the Fsteine files, and there's another side of the
story which I just want to get your opinion on.
I know there the far left Democrats are looking for
something on Trump. There they have the Trump's arrangement syndrome.
But what about the far left party itself bringing this

(49:13):
to a head in Congress? They want it out right now?
Is it possible? And here's the point, is it possible?
They want to purge their own party of the older
like Schumer types.

Speaker 2 (49:28):
Those are the types that they want to There are
types they're usually going to be in there. Yeah, you're right,
it's a good point. There's a lot of those old
elitist establishment Democrats in there that'll get wiped out, but
there's a lot of their donors in there. There's a
lot of big CEOs in there. There's no Trump in
these files. You're going to be very, very disappointed when
you see everything. Let's go to Richard in Grantwich, Connecticut. Richard,

(49:51):
how you doing, Hey?

Speaker 4 (49:53):
Mark? How are you today?

Speaker 2 (49:55):
Good?

Speaker 20 (49:55):
I just wanted to thank you very much for you
recommen I did a while ago the book Loved Johnny.

Speaker 2 (50:02):
Love Johnny Carson. We had the author on yesterday.

Speaker 20 (50:07):
Oh you, oh man, I gotta I gotta rewind your
podcast yesterday I was out, but I wanted to thank you.
It is chock full of like the most fascinating stories. Uh,
even if you're not a Johnny Carson fan, but I
find myself reading again. I just loved the book, and
I wanted to thank you for that. I mean all

(50:28):
the grudges that he had in his personal life and
the backstage and the wives and Ed McMahon and and
Sinatra and just I have not even finished with it yet.

Speaker 2 (50:39):
It's like three.

Speaker 20 (50:40):
Quarters away done, and uh yeah, somehow it makes my
heart happy to read it.

Speaker 2 (50:45):
No, it's quite a book. Everybody should get the book.
It's called Love Johnny Carson. It's by Mark Malkoff. It's
on Amazon. Just go get it. It's the latest and
the greatest book ever written. About Johnny Carson. But you're right,
it has a million stories, that whole era of.

Speaker 15 (51:00):
Yeah you mentioned that.

Speaker 2 (51:01):
Yes, yeah, I'm in the book in a lot of places.
But everybody get the book. It's called Love Johnny Carson,
Love Johnny Carson. Just go order it. You'll thank me,
you'll read. It's also a good Christmas present too for somebody.
Let's go to uh Patrick in Westchester. Patrick, how you
doing fine?

Speaker 19 (51:19):
Mark?

Speaker 17 (51:19):
How are you today?

Speaker 2 (51:20):
I'm good? How are you good?

Speaker 17 (51:21):
Good? Well? We love listening to your show, and I
think you have the best guests of anybody on radio.
I just wandered with thinking of an update on a
past guest, Michael Riedle. Can you update us on what's
new with him.

Speaker 2 (51:34):
He's doing well. He's been in Florida a lot. He's
working on another book. Actually, right, we should get him
back on the show sometimes. Good idea. Let's go to
Tony in White Plains. Tony, how you doing?

Speaker 21 (51:46):
Yeah, good morning, Mark. I don't talk about this news
Combe the governor California. What a joke this guys. He
leaves the country. He's talking about the biggest hopes we
ever had, climate change, and in meantime, California burn it.
I'm kind of he's responsible part of it in the
water situation over there. And Mark, can I say one
more thing. You remember the movies like in the fifties,

(52:09):
you know, the black and whites and all that Newscombe.
You know what it reminds me of. You ever see
a Sada Judge like in a candy store with that
paper hat on. That's what it reminds you every time
I see him on TV.

Speaker 2 (52:19):
All right, well, thanks for calling. I hate to break
it to you. He's the front runner for twenty twenty eight.
And check historically, whoever's the Democrat front runner at this
point usually gets the nomination. But it's a long way off.
But you're right, he's he's slick. He's a salesman. He's
not a manager, just a salesman. California's a mess even

(52:40):
after those terrible fires. You know, ninety eight percent of
those people are not back in their homes yet. Because
Newsom is busy making podcasts and doing guest appearances, doesn't
have time to run the state. Let's go to Vincent
and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing, Good.

Speaker 11 (52:55):
Morning, Mark, Good morning, Matt. I'm doing fire Mark. Mark
in regards to the housing an affordability crisis. I don't
know who suggested that Donald Trump the idea of a
fifty year mortgage, because I say this, I'm a senior citizen,
and I know a lot of seniors listen to your show.
Because that is not a great idea. Most people don't

(53:18):
want to be paying off for mortgage in their senior years,
and even worse, have their children pay off their mortgage
in debts. Most parents, by the time they retire their
kids have grown, they want to sell their original house
that they raise, their family cash out, take some profits,
and downsize to a smaller home, maybe in a low

(53:42):
tax state like Florida Tennessee. But that is not a
good idea at all because if most people when if
they get married at twenty five, they're not even ready
to raise the down you're talking about if the house
is a million dollars, you got to put ten percent down.
You're talking about one hundred thousand dollars. That's going to

(54:05):
take them time to raise that money. They're gonna maybe
be in their their thirties unless they get help from
their parents. And so by the time where they pay
off a fifty year mortgage, you're lucky if you live
to eighty years old. And what happens like us happened
to some friends of mine in Italy. The people all
the way, a couple of miles down the road bought

(54:28):
houses years ago that they figured, in their golden years,
they'd sell, make some money on it and downsize and
live out the rest of their life in style and class.
The neighborhood went down the toilet, like a lot of
neighborhoods are in New York, and they can't even get
half the original price they pay for it.

Speaker 2 (54:50):
Their style is a little doom and gloom. That does happen.
But there's other neighborhoods where you buy a cheap house
and next thing you know, twenty years later it's the
hottest neighborhood.

Speaker 13 (54:58):
They air.

Speaker 11 (54:58):
But you don't pay mark. You don't pay all for
fifty year mortgage.

Speaker 2 (55:04):
Most people, well, even if you had to pay it off,
you can, you can go sell it and still get
a profit.

Speaker 11 (55:09):
And still and if you got a fifty year mortgage
and you're only in five years paid that mortgage, you
didn't even pay off all the interest on that, you
can't even get a lot of acquity had that because
most of it you didn't even pay off the interest.

Speaker 2 (55:23):
The first time. Well, Vin's a good point, no fifty
year mortgage, but he's just throwing out ideas that the yeah,
and it's.

Speaker 11 (55:29):
A bad idea. All right, I got a good idea.

Speaker 2 (55:31):
Well you convinced me. All right, Well, a great call,
thanks for calling. Hey, when we come back, we'll talk
to the dean himself, the greatest analyst of campaigns and politics.
Will get to Ed Rollins. Coming up next on seven
to ten Wore The Mark.

Speaker 19 (55:46):
Simone Show continues on sevent ten wor.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
Well, let's talk to the dean himself, Ed Rollins, the
greatest political analyst. I've always worked on a million campaigns,
run the biggest, best campaigns ever, Ed Rollins. How you doing?

Speaker 4 (56:02):
Good morning?

Speaker 2 (56:02):
How are you? I'm good. I'm looking at the President's schedule.
I mean, this guy used to be in New York
having fun all day. Now he's meeting with Saudi leaders.
Who wants to spend the whole day with these Saudi leaders?
You've been in these meetings? What do they do in
these meetings?

Speaker 4 (56:18):
Well, I think this is a Trump retirement fund for
his kids. The reality here is, you know, the Saudi
prince who's being treated like I have a state and
will be eventually when his father passed away, which could
be a year or two years. But he seems to
be getting everything and not giving anything, you know. And

(56:39):
I sort of compressed her with the day today as
you see the women who are victims of Epstein dominating
all of network network and all the cable news this
morning for a couple of hours, I certainly will today.
And then you have this Saudi prince coming in here
basically is getting r F thirty five. He's going to
buy them. He's now gonna have the only the kind

(57:00):
of jet to go super jet in the world with
the Israelis, and he's not giving us anything at this
point in time. Usually when you make a deal, you
get something, they get something. And the only thing I
see is the present beginning at this point in time,
is the ability to deal long term with the Saudis.
I mean, it's the certainly certainly raises political issues that

(57:21):
the Democrats this point and I look at everything from
a political perspective.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
Yeah, and if we're good, if we're giving them these
top weapons. Shaudi's have a habit of sharing stuff with
the Chinese, don't they that's not good.

Speaker 4 (57:33):
Well, they do, and the Russians and everybody else. And
the key thing in the past, whenever we sold our supergenses,
we always made sure that they don't get every part
of it. They don't get all the controls, all their
weapon systems, what have you. So I don't know what
the details are in these particular things. They have thirty
fives or is ready the only ones that have them
at this time. We made some deals with the Polished

(57:53):
to sell some of them in the future, but we
haven't done that yet. So I just I just worry
about it. I just don't think it's a good deal
for us at this point time. And I think the
timing of it is terrible. Every day the time it is,
and we're not getting anything back at this point in time.

Speaker 2 (58:07):
So yeah, back to the Democrats. So theyre spending so
much time on this Epstein stuff. They're not focusing on
what you just brought up. They're going to miss this.

Speaker 4 (58:16):
Well, I think they're going to miss the night. I
always worry about Republicans. I don't worry about the Democrats, you know.
I mean, at the end of the day, if we
do our job, well, we can win campaigns, and we're
going to have a terrible year next year if we're
not careful, if we don't improve and everything care element
can go back and look at everything that happened to
us last Tuesday and improve on those things. And you know,

(58:39):
obviously we could have a bad mid term nowhere near
as bad as in the past. But you know, we've
got a handful of seats to the majority of both
the House and the Senate. If you lose ten to
fifteen seats, you know you're gonna look very tough the
last couple of years here.

Speaker 2 (58:53):
Okay, but say six seven, eight months from now, the
economy is doing well, prices are down. Is that all
it takes or is it still tough?

Speaker 4 (59:01):
Well, it's certainly, certainly, it's certainly be very beneficial. And
this you know, that's let's hope at this point in time.
And at the end of the day, you've got to
go out and make your case for why all this
stuff is good. And today you know, in the presence
doing all this international stuff, which is all part of
the job. Don't take that away from them. But at
the same time, it becomes more of his interest. I

(59:22):
think as it is domestic. Domestic is what people are
going to vote on them, and whether we go to
war with Venezuela any of the rest of it is
certainly a great distraction.

Speaker 2 (59:32):
Ed Rolins. Now you've been involved in this for years.
Let me ask you something. You ever see a crop
of people like this, Mom, Donnie or AOC, these crazy
left wing socialists, although slick, charming, fast talking, have we
ever seen a period like this before where these guys
were taken over?

Speaker 8 (59:48):
No.

Speaker 4 (59:49):
After after Watergate, the Democrats had a big year in
seventy four. They came back and they tried to take
a lot more power to back to the Palace and
took us seventy years to come back. At that point
in time, people were saying, you know, we'll never be
another Republican. I come back to this when Nixon was housed,
uh eight years later back in the White House again.
But you've got to have the right leaders, the right people.

(01:00:12):
I mean, to a certain extent, we've got we've got
a couple of real hard years in this year, and
we've got to make up some ground on particularly after
after last week. If we're losing Hispanic voters and losing
May and male voters we got last time. President President
had a magical election last time. You can't take that
for granted. You've got to go back and work a vote,
make sure those people are for you. And obviously the

(01:00:34):
economy is critical. That's what people want and that's what
you've got to make sure all your time. And it's
just devoted there.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
You know, if you really analyzed the mayoral stuff, the voting,
Mam Donnie did not win the working class, the blue
collar working class. Most of the votes came from the
elitist over educated grade. Yeah, young, so uh, how do
you how do you get those people to see reality?

Speaker 4 (01:01:00):
Well, you got to go out and talk to them.
I mean the reality of how you win in New York,
which is the key thing here is you got to
you gotta make sure you don't lose New York by
half a million votes, and you gotta win Westchester. You're
gotta win Nasa, you gotta win Suffolk. Uh, and you know,
you gotta make sure those people are all in the game. Fully,

(01:01:22):
there's a formula how you can win it. Attack. He
did it, a lota did it for a long time.
But it's not it's not accidentally. You gotta go out
and work hard and make sure that all works hard
in that state. Place like Buffalo whatever they used to
be a very significant vote for us. It's half a
mallion voter. When I used to work for Jack Kemp,
it was this chairer on around for president. There are

(01:01:42):
half a million more people in Buffalo and those were
the blue collar jobs and what have you. We gotta
go out and make sure the blue collar voters are
our voters. Got to make sure the Hispanic progress we
made the last election that we can gain again. We
didn't get it this time in those two mid general elections,
but we've got to make sure that those voters hear
about them and that the way we're doing the immigration stuff,

(01:02:03):
I think to a certain extent, is not as smooth
an effect that those it should be.

Speaker 2 (01:02:07):
Hey, you get these people that Republicans are run around
yelling at Republican can never win in New York City
a Republican and now I'm hearing it for governor. Republican
can't win for governor. This is not helping anybody to
keep chanting this is it?

Speaker 4 (01:02:21):
No, it's not the reality is we can win. We
at a point in time where we had a lot
of Republicans here. We had attacking was governor for twelve years,
we had Giuliani as mayor, We had Tomorrow as the
center and you know, we just have to go out
and execute them. And my senses, we just haven't had
a good plan. We just we just we focused too

(01:02:43):
much attention to the things that aren't no matter to people.
You have to go out and talk to people, registered voters,
the strong party, build a strong party the next year,
and decide where you're gonna get your votes.

Speaker 2 (01:02:54):
Yeah, that Republican party in New York. Not a lot
of infrastructure, there, not a lot of manpower. What can
we do about that?

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
You gotta get to raise money. Uh, and you've got
to basically make sure that people understand the value of
spending money beyond the the city. You gotta get say
to Tassa, Suffolk, Westchester, upstate. Uh, that's how you win
stay wide here in New York.

Speaker 2 (01:03:17):
Yeah, Ed Ronds, we only got a minute left, mom, Donnie.
When he takes over, will he be a lot worse
than we thought? Will he be not quite as bad
as we thought? What do you think.

Speaker 4 (01:03:26):
He'll be worse than we thought? Because the people people, well,
the people who's gonna put around him. Uh, you know,
he's he's one guy, but he's got a lot of power.
But the people he's gonna put he's bringing back with
the BLOBSI old people. He's bringing back a lot of
people that you know. It's not like he's calling of
a sudden going to the business commuting and say hey, give
me your best and your right is Uh. He's going

(01:03:47):
to his socialist runds and saying, you know, you want
a job in government. I think he's made a good
move and hopefully Tish will stay as a police commissioner.
But if she does, I don't know who end up
that job. To me, it's the most important job right
now the city.

Speaker 2 (01:04:02):
Well it rounds great stuff. Thanks for talking with this.
We'll do it again soon, all right, take care, take care, Hey,
don't forget. At noon it's Buck Sexton, Klay Travis. This
is a great show every day at twelve, then at
three o'clock. You got to most listen to radio show
in America, Sean Hannity. You got Jesse Kelly at six
and our new show is Jimmy Fala every night nine

(01:04:22):
at midnight. A very funny, interesting, great show nine to
midnight Tonight on seven to ten Wry.

Speaker 19 (01:04:31):
Still Mark Samoon Show on seven TENR.

Speaker 2 (01:04:36):
Well, hey, we're talking about Gavin Newsom. Before you know,
he's supposed to be the governor of California. It doesn't
have time for that though. He's running around making campaign appearances.
He's running around fundraising, he's running around doing podcasts. But
so far, you know, you have this terrible Palisades fires,
and so far more than seventy two percent of the

(01:04:58):
victims are still in temporary How this is quite a
while since those fires they destroyed seven thousand structures, killed
twelve people, Pacific Palisades, Malibu. He keeps trying to shift
attention away from the fires, but you got seventy two
percent of those victims still in temporary housing. Now. At

(01:05:22):
some point, Mike Johnson is talking about in Congress possibly
a subpoena at a Newsom to explain the total failure
of his state during the Palisades fires, why they failed
on everything as far as prevention, why they failed during
the fires, and why they have failed to get people
back to a normal existence. And it could be interesting

(01:05:46):
watching him testify, although he can be pretty slick and
you know these crazy Democrats. If you look slick and
you're a fast talker, they love what you're saying. Even
though you got no resume, never had a job, or
you got a job and you stink at it and
you screwed up your state. You got more people leaving
California than any other state, people voting with their feet

(01:06:08):
and fleeing. So let's see today at the White House
President Trump with Saudi leaders MBS. The controversial character. A
lot of people don't like this meeting. Hey Butler Pennsylvania,
the shooter Thomas Crooks. Stuff coming out about his background.
He was a raging nut anti Democrat who became an

(01:06:32):
anti Republican and then got real Trump arrangement syndrome, and
online was talking about assassination, talking about political violence. I mean,
it was pretty obvious if anybody was watching this something
bad was going to happen. Another total failure on the
part of the Secret Service, the FBI back then. Hey,
we're out of time. I will not be on cutload today.

(01:06:54):
Change of plans. Change of plans could be moved to
another day, but don't go away. Buck Sexton and Clayton
Travis with a very good show coming up. Right after

show in radio. And then at six you got Jesse

be back tomorrow ten to noon. Talk to you. Then
