FULL SHOW: Jets fans want the owner to sell the team; Democrats spend money like crazy.

Mark discusses various forms of what he calls “Trump Derangement Syndrome” among Democrats, highlighting how Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s response to a recent boat strike is eroding Democratic trust in Trump administration officials. He also references a contentious interview between ABC’s George Stephanopoulos and Senator Eric Schmitt, criticizing Stephanopoulos for questionable news reporting. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Liz Peek. Liz argues that Democratic governance often leads to financial mismanagement, citing unnecessary programs and fraud. They also discuss Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s plan to eliminate NYC’s homeless encampments, suggesting it could worsen homelessness in the city. U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is facing criticism for her shifting political stance and perceived disloyalty to the Trump administration. Mark also comments on Paramount’s attempt to challenge Netflix by bidding to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. Mark interviews New York Post columnist Miranda Devine. Miranda analyzes the unresolved January 6th RNC pipe bomber case, questioning the lack of public outrage. The Two also examine why Democrats seem less critical of similar military actions taken by former Presidents Obama and Biden, compared to those under Trump, and how this disparity fuels partisan anger.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now this is the Mark Simon Show on seventoor.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hey, I'm back and lots to talk about. We got
a lot of stuff to go over. We'll get to
all of that's freezing cold today and it's going to
stay that way for most of the week. Yeah, that's
is that allergies, the cold weather allergies. It doesn't go away.
So we got a lot to talk about. We'll get

(00:31):
to the Kennedy Center Honors, We'll get to Ukraine, We'll
get to Narco Boats, We'll get to George Sloppadopolis. We'll
get to Mom Donnie and his latest crazy ideas. We'll
get to the pipe bomber and how they caught him.
It's fascinating. Actually, we'll get to the Jets. Interesting, what's
going on with it? This is going to be a

(00:52):
big movement for the rest of the season. Anyway, we'll
we'll talk about all of that and more. Be nice
to your Democratic friends. I know they're angry and yelling
and screaming. I don't know if I'll have time to
do it today, but we're at some point we're gonna
I'm gonna explain Trump derangement syndrome in detail. After talking
to a number of psychiatrists and psychologists who've explained exactly

(01:15):
what it is. There are other types of this same disease.
In this case it's Trump derangement syndrome. There are other types.
And also for the past week or two, we've seen
hegxith derangement syndrome as they go nuts trying to get
rid of Pete Hegsith. Now, why it's not even anything
really personal. They just want to get Trump somehow. So

(01:38):
whenever they see something, anything, one little branch of the
tree that looks like it's gonna break, the break off
any limb of the tree, anything, so they think Hexith
is vulnerable. He's not not. In any way. He hasn't
done anything that anybody would consider wrong in the Trump administration.
Signal gait was a complete ridiculous piece of trivia, absolute nonsense.

(02:01):
That's where he used that signal app for communication. It
was approved by the Pentagon. It was Pentagon policy to
use it. If you shouldn't use it, well you could
take a look at that and maybe not use it,
but that's not a scandal. If you're watching the Sunday
shows this week, the opening segments, you might have said,
is this a rerun. Is this from months ago? They

(02:21):
were talking about signal gate using the signal but no, no,
they just latch onto something and they won't let it go.
You know, these Sunday shows, the idea used to be
they go over the news of the week. They didn't
do that on any of the Sunday shows this week.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
If you were.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Watching them, you missed out a review of the news
of the week. Instead, they zeroed in on one or
two things that they liked. Well, they're basically only two
get hexaf and Narco boats, and they were going after
these Narco boats, and every crazy Democrat was on there
with their crazy explanations. It might have been We think

(02:58):
it was maybe a fishing but they could have been
fishing boats. No one's ever seen a fishing boat with
six outboards on it and super high speed going eight
hundred miles an hour at three in the morning. Nobody's
ever seen a fishing boat. I'm not an expert on
the fishing or boats, but you can tell a Narco
boat from a fishing boat. A fishing boat has fishing

(03:20):
equipment all over it and hanging off the sides. You
can tell the Narco boat because it's a super high
speed boat with a million outboard engines on it, and
it's got twenty five oil drums of chemicals. You can
always tell the Narco boat that way. See the fishing
boat brings bait. Bait isn't that big. You don't need

(03:41):
twenty five oil drums full of bait, so you can tell. Hey,
the best moment on the Sunday Shows. The finest moment
was the Senator of Missouri, Eric Schmidt Stephanopoulos, or as
we call him, Trump first named him, George Slapadopoulos is
interviewing him. Now he does what they all do. The

(04:01):
greatest example this week was Margaret Brennan. You know they
all do this jackal and hide. They have a Republican
on and every time the Republican answers, they.

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Tear it to him.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
They a thousand follow ups, they tear apart his answer,
They yell and scream at him, they go crazy, and
then they go to commercial. Then they come back with
a Democrat and whenever the Democrat answers, they just nod
like a bobblehead. They have no follow ups, no pushback.
Whatever the answer is, uh huh, well, thank you, Okay,
here's my next questions just little softble interviews. So for

(04:33):
the Republican they're vicious pitbulls tearing into them. Then when
they come back from commercial to interview the Democrat, they're
cute little poodles hugging the guests. So Schmidt brought this up.
Stephanopolos is trying to destroy Schmidt. He just had a
guest on talking about the Narco boats and whatever the
guest said, Stephanopolis just nodded like a bobblehead. Then he

(04:55):
comes back with Eric Schmidt. Whatever Schmid said, Stephanopolis vicious,
angry tears into them. Listen to this exchange. This is
Eric Schmidt. This moment went super viral on the Sunday
Show yesterday.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
Well, I'm curious about your pushback on that particular point.
With your previous guests, you had zero pushback because he's
giving the Democrat talking points like you spew every single week,
which is probably why your ratings are so bad.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
He kept going, he kept tearing into Stephanopolis, and.

Speaker 5 (05:21):
You're trying to divert here the attention from what the
American people actually support. Seventy five percent of Americans support
US blowing Narco terrorists out of the water in the
Caribbean who are trying to poison Americans. There's no real
legal debate about the ability to do that. Now you
could have a policy discussion about it, which now you
see the Democrats pivoting from the second strike and the

(05:42):
war crimes allegation to really what this whole thing is about,
should we do it and be doing it in the
first place.

Speaker 2 (05:47):
Now, you got to remember the drug lords, the big
cartel leaders, you know, Salamanca and all those and Gus
Fring and all the cartel leaders watching the Sunday shows
had tears in their eye so grateful at the way
these Sunday hosts were defending them in their drug boats,
sticking up for them, fighting for them.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
And this is kind of the rabbit hole of Trump
arrangement syndrome, is that they can't let this thing go.
They can't believe that he won. They didn't want Hegseth
to be the Secretary of War. They fought it. He
was their number one target. They failed at that, and
so now you just have a series and series of
issues that come up every week to try to undermine
this president the secretary of War, and it's not working.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
It's amazing how this Trump arrangement syndrome has these Democrats
defending anything illegal. If it's illegal, they're going to defend it.
If it's narco terrorists and drug shipments, Fell defended, it's
illegals all over the city streets. Fell defended whatever it is.
If it's anti Trump, they'll defend it, even if it's illegal.

(06:47):
The standing up fighting for every criminal in the world. Hey,
now that one of the fascinating things this past week
was they caught the pipe bomber January sixth. Everybody was
focused on the trespassing incident at the Capitol and not
on the pipe bombs. Somebody put bombs at the RNC
and at the DNC. This is pretty serious stuff. They

(07:09):
caught it and they got the bombs and got rid
of them. But that could have been a disastrous that.
You know, all you heard about was January sixth, was
the trespassers, the people at unlawful entry. They were all
charged with unlawful entry, trespassing, that sort of stuff. This
is all you heard about. You never really heard any
follow up on the pipe bombs. And the reason was

(07:31):
Christopher Ray, who was the worst FBI director, a real
swamp creature, and the deep state the swamp was only
interested in getting Trump. They felt that the trespassing at
the capitol, the chaos at the Capitol, would get Trump,
so they focused on that. They investigated like crazy, they
prosecuted like crazy. They got like seven hundred and sixty

(07:54):
of those trespassers. They went after that. The pipe bomb
they decided was of no value to them as far
as their narrative because the pipe bomber tried to blow
up the DNC and the RNC. It didn't look like
he had any political leaning, so it was of no
value to Chris Ray, the FBI, the deep state, the swamp,
the Biden administration, they they weren't interested in the pipe bomber.

(08:16):
Finding him not in any interest, so they let it go.
They had a lot of evidence, but they didn't really
do anything with it. Well, a few weeks ago, actually
a couple of months ago, Trump administration decided to really
go after this and do the investigation and find this guy.
And they did. They took all the existing evidence and

(08:38):
then they used AI. Christopher Ray could have done this,
and this is it's fascinating stuff what they can do
with AI. You ever watched that CSI. But the laboratory stuff.
They can do the scientifics to catch a criminals. Frightening,
and you're a criminal, you gotta go whoa this is?
I mean they are really thorough, but this is way

(08:58):
beyond it. This is AI. So one of the things
they used the AI for they figured out what it
takes to make a pipe bomb. There's about seventeen things
you'd have to buy to make a pipe bomb. You'd
have to buy a certain type of pipe, certain types
of chemicals also, So they listed the seventeen things and

(09:19):
then they looked through the sales receipts of every store, everywhere,
home depot, lows, every hardware thing. They looked through all
the sales receipts. Now only AI could do this. For humans,
to do this, you'd need a team of like ten
thousand people and it would take them year's But the
AI can look through the sale of everything in the
America and figure out did any one person buy all

(09:42):
seventeen of these things? And they got a name somebody
that bought all seventeen. Then they could take the two
locations where the pipe bombs were. You know, your phone
has a GPS in it, they can track where you are.
So and only AI could do this. For humans to
do it would take twenty years and a thousand people.
The AI could look through all the phone records of

(10:05):
all the cell phones and see if anybody was in
both those locations on that day. And they did, and
they got it down to one guy. They figured out
it was the guy. And then they went to you know,
they had the security video, they looked, they found the
guy on it. They've got him. He's been arrested, he
will be prosecuted. It's going to be a hell of
a trial. Christopher Ray could have done this, Biden could

(10:29):
have done this. They decided deliberately not to. But they
got the guy. And it's a great, great, great accomplishment
for Jeanine Piro, for the FBI. Now here's the only
problem for you said, well, gee, I didn't hear a
loud about this. How am they're not talking about this? Well,
here's the reason they've looked through this guy is everything,
his emails, his social media, everything. There is no indication

(10:54):
anywhere that he was a Trump voter. In fact, it
appears he did not register with either party. He did
not vote. It seems he has nothing to do with Trump,
no connection. He's more of just an angry anarchist sort
of a guy. So there's nothing to tie him to
a MAGA or Trump. So that's the other reason you

(11:14):
didn't hear anything about it this week. He's facing thirty
years in prison if convicted. It's most likely he will
be convicted. The evidence is overwhelming. So that should be it.
Kennedy Center Honors last night. It's a great thing in
Washington because here in New York we got a million gallows.

(11:35):
We got all sorts of gallows every night of the week,
we got all sorts of awards, got every There's a
million things in there. Washington, DC, they don't have a lot.
There's really not much. There's the Kennedy Center Honors that's
like the one big galla of the year. There's what
they call the Alfalfa Dinner. That's a big event down there.

(11:55):
There's that White House Corresponds dinner. But that's about it.
Very rarely today have any excuse down there to get
dressed up and go to a big gallous. It's the
biggest event in Washington all year. I used to go
to it every year but stopped about ten years ago.
But it was always a great event. And when you
go there, the Kennedy said, the whole audience, the entire audience,

(12:17):
are famous political people, all the Senators, all the congressmen,
all the Cabinet, everybody. And it's always four or five
great honorees. A couple are really big stars. A couple
of people that aren't such big stars to most people.
You know, a classical musician, a ballet, you know, that
kind of stuff. But Trump has taken over the Kennedy Center,
put all his people on the board. It used to

(12:39):
be kind of left wing, but then it got more
and more and more and more to the left. It
was really partisan. Now it's not. So you get real
American heroes. You know, Sylvester Stallone. And in the old
days of Keney centerd be Laurence Olivier. Now it's Sylvester Stallone.
But that's good. And Trump, remember loves Sylvester Stallone. They

(12:59):
did a lot of stuff through the years together, TV
and other stuff. And the President has a big ceremony
in the Oval Office giving the special medals, and then
they go to the Kenny Center and they do the
big dinner. Here's President Trump and it was Rambo.

Speaker 6 (13:13):
I knew nothing about it, but I like sly, So
I said, let's go see it. After about four minutes,
they said, this movie is great.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
Yeah, so hey. Also remember Trump became a big hit
with The Apprentice. It was the number one show in television,
so big that they decided to do spinoffs. Remember the
first spinoff of The Apprentice, Sylvester Stallone was the host. Yeah,
it didn't do well. There were fourteen Apprentice copies and
none of them did well. Only Trump's Michael Crawford Phanom

(13:41):
of the Opera. Donald Trump loves fan of the Opera.
You wouldn't think that, would you. You wouldn't think that'd
be his kind of ship. But he loves it, loves
the music, loves Michael Crawford. He got the Kennedy Center Award.

Speaker 6 (13:51):
And I don't think they're ever going to find anybody
like you, Michael, Okay, I know something about that business.
I don't think they'll find anybody like you.

Speaker 2 (13:58):
He was brilliant in Phantom of the Opera. He was
amazing in Phantom of the Opera. However, that's twenty eight
years ago and he hasn't done much since. I guess
he has, but you know, that's what he's best known for.
Me I mean musically he's not. I remember he's in
Las Vegas for a while, one of those residencies. But
it's great to see him get it and big happy

(14:21):
crowd except for the left. Now, what they do They
do the Kennedy Centers on a Sunday night and then
they record it. It's that three or four hour deal
and then they chop it down to two hours for
a television special on CBS. That's been the routine for many,
many years. So it was last night they recorded it.
It will be seen December thirteenth on CBS, the edited version.

(14:44):
Now this will be interesting. It gets pretty good ratings.
But of course the left wingers will not watch it.
They'll go crazy. But we'll see, we'll see how well
it does this year. Hey, we'll get to mom. Donnie
coming up. He's made the decision. He will give up
his rent controlled department. He will move into Gracy Mansion. Now,
one of the reasons is security told him that it's

(15:06):
really impossible for him to continue to live in an
apartment building in Astoria. There's a lot of security around him, Mayor,
and they just it would be totally disruptive to the
apartment building. You know, when you're the mayor, the governor.
Generally you come into a building, they shut off the elevator.
You know, no one else is allowed in the elevator,
he except you and the security. So you can't do

(15:27):
that in an apartment building. Also, they'd have to check
everybody coming in and out all the time. You can't
do it. So he'll move into Gracey Mansion. Pretty good socialist.
They're living in a mansion, Gracy Mansion, right on the water.
We'll get into this more detail later. He's got this
plan now to stop the sweeps of homeless people, the encampments.

(15:50):
Of course, this is a disaster. Eric Adams has been
doing a good job. You know, you may not have noticed.
Maybe you did notice. You see very few homeless people
and you don't see any homeless camps anywhere.

Speaker 7 (16:00):
If he's stating he's no longer going to implement a
smart policy on our part, New Yorkers have got to
see the repercussions of that.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Yeah, so well, well we'll get into this and don't
ma'm Donnie's ridiculous explanation of why he seem to do. Hey,
by the way, you know, you keep everybody's leaving New
York that's it. Everybody's leaving. Everybody's people are not leaving here.
Actual statistics since the election. Real estate sales have been
booming since Mam Donnie got elected. Since his election, eight

(16:32):
hundred and sixty nine contracts have been signed in New
York City. That's a little down, it's like down half
a one percent, but it's pretty close to last year.
Eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have been signed. Condo
sales have been very strong since the election. Luxury deals
very strong. Forty one contracts signed just last week. That's

(16:53):
a lot. And you get on these big real estate guys,
the big, big, big geniuses of real estate and banking.
They know better, they see the future. JP Morgan, you know,
just open this massive, massive new headquarters on Park Avenue.
Ten thousand people can work in that building. So you think, well,

(17:13):
that show's confidence. You know what shows even more confidence.
Now I'm hearing JP Morgan is going to do a
second building a block or two a way. They need
a whole other building, another massive skyscraper they're going to do.
And there's more examples of this. So these guys think
New York will be fine. Anyway, we'll get back to Mom, Donnie.
We'll get to all of that coming up. We'll take
some calls. Next eight hundred three to two one zero

(17:35):
seven ten is the number eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (17:40):
If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
time and tap the preset button. Now. Now back to
the Mark Simone Show on woor.

Speaker 2 (17:51):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Kim in Connecticut. Kim,
how you doing good?

Speaker 8 (17:57):
Thanks, I've been listening with years show about the recent
homeless situation in New York. What Mandannie's doing there. I
just wanted to say that this is spreading like a cancer.
It is in Connecticut now among the socialist Democrats. Connecticut

(18:18):
is totally run by the Democratic Party. You have two
Democratic senators.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
Well, you got the two worst senators, two really really
ugly bad.

Speaker 8 (18:27):
Senators, the really worst.

Speaker 2 (18:30):
Now your governor's not so bad. Your governor has moments
of very very bad behavior, maybe because Ned Lamont, the
governor was a business guy for many, many years, so
he goes pretty left woke sometimes, but sometimes he goes
very very common sense. But you've got Blumenthal and Chris Murphy,
the two of the sleaziest dirtiest public servants ever lying?

(18:55):
How many times these guys Guy's been caught lying about
anything and everything. Let's go to Mike in Florida.

Speaker 9 (19:01):
Mike, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike, And
before I make my point about the Democrats, can you
believe it's been forty five years since John Lennon was killed?

Speaker 2 (19:11):
Wow? For years?

Speaker 10 (19:12):
Unbelievable, forty five years.

Speaker 9 (19:15):
It's like mind boggling, isn't it.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Yeah, right in front of the Dakota seventy second and
Central Park West.

Speaker 9 (19:23):
Yeah, unbelievable, Like it's like surreal. Actually they think it's
been that long. Yeah, But you were mentioning about the
Democrats they have.

Speaker 3 (19:32):
They're so clever.

Speaker 9 (19:33):
You know, they have this quiver of issues that they
like to put an arrow out, take an arrow out,
and put it back in. You know, Epstein being one
of them that you know, the the narco stuff that
will disappear for a couple of weeks and then they'll
bring it back. Then they'll bring out you know Maxine Nicely,
Maxine Waters, you know, made her appearance. So they're starting
to bring out the big guns to start, you know,

(19:56):
hammering away. They're very clever at there, Yeah, you can't.

Speaker 2 (19:59):
Make in case that that clever because none of these
things ever go anywhere. I mean, it gives them something
to do at MSNBC, but they never amount anything. The
Epstein thing went nowhere. The Narco boats will go nowhere
for them. None of them work in the end.

Speaker 9 (20:11):
Well, I just hope it doesn't have accumulative effect, you know,
on the voters. It's not us, but too many other
people seem to be able to into this stuff.

Speaker 2 (20:20):
Yeah, no, I know what you mean, but it's more
just red meat for the Trumps arrangement syndrome crowd. You
got to throw them something every day. You know. They
got a signal gate. That was a big one for
a week or two. Signal Gate. They're using the signal.
They were all fired up about that. It was all
over CNN and MSNB. The normal people in the public home,
what the hell is signal gate? They're paying no attention
to it. Same thing with the narco boats. They like

(20:42):
seeing drug dealers blown up. They enjoy that. They think
that's good for America, getting rid of all the fentanyl
and cocaine and all. They like that. So it ends
up going nowhere in the end, you know, the Epstein thing. Again,
it just doesn't register. Most people don't care. Hey, by
the way, I've talked to everybody that's read the Epstein
files in detail. I mean, these are prosecutors in the

(21:05):
US Attorney's office, These are FBI guys. Alan Dershowitz who
was there. He was Epstein's lawyer, and they all say
the same thing. They all seem to agree on one thing.
There is nothing in these Epstein files that would surprise anybody.
In fact, there are no names in their Every name
you think it's going to be in every name has

(21:25):
already been public. There's a couple of names that aren't,
but they're like unknown business people. But all the names
have already been made public. There's nothing in there. And
when they say the Epstein files, it's mostly from the
US Attorney's office here in Manhattan, the Southern District. And
if you talk to people that have seen that file,
what it is, it's just witness interviews. That's ninety eight

(21:48):
percent of the file is just witness interviews and there's
not much in there. Let's go to Paul in Whitestone. Paul,
how you doing.

Speaker 10 (21:56):
Yeah, Mark, how are you doing good? You can't make
this up. A cont got to stop.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
Nothing against you personally, everybody has got to stop using
that expression. You can't make this stuff up. You can
make it up. It's offensive to the great writers and
novelists and screenwriters. You can very easily make this kind
of stuff up. In fact, there are guys that do
that all day long for a living. So nothing against you, though.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
Go ahead, all right.

Speaker 10 (22:21):
A communist who wants to abolish prisons and police is
going to live in a mansion for quote, his family's safety.
I don't want to hear it. If the police advise this,
he should stand for his principles and say no, I'm
going to stay in the story. I'm going to not
have police protection. But he's not going to do that
because he's like every other communist leader, and the young,

(22:43):
selfish idiots who voted for him because they want free
stuff are about to learn a harsh lesson.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yeah, well it happens. Who is it that said great
Commas said we have to go through this every twenty years.
We have to let him do their socialism experiment. Let
it fail so the new generals can see how bad
it is. But again, nobody out there ever say again,
you can't make this stuff up. I remember sitting with
I'll mentioned names a couple of great screenwriters and someone said,

(23:11):
you can't make this up, and they got very offended.
They said, you can. That's what we do for a living.
We can make up stuff even more far fetched than this.
It's easy to do. Hey, when we come back. Michael
Goodwin has been out of action for a couple of weeks,
but Liz Peak, the brilliant columnists will be with us
next on seven to ten wor.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
More Mark Simone on seven ten Woo.

Speaker 2 (23:36):
Well, Liz Peak the brilliant columnist, and he's got this
wonderful website. You should check it every day. Sign up
for the daily Briefings. It's great news and analysis. Lizpeak
dot com. Lizpeak dot com. Make sure you sign up
for the daily Briefing every day. Good stuff, Liz Peak.
How you doing, I'm.

Speaker 11 (23:57):
Terrific better for speaking with you.

Speaker 2 (23:59):
Hey, hear that the big drug lords, the cartel bosses,
had tears in their eyes yesterday watching these Sunday shows,
so grateful to the host for sticking up for them,
defending them in their narco boats. How much longer do
we have to listen to this from the Democrats.

Speaker 12 (24:16):
I mean, Mark, don't you really begin to sort of think,
what are the Democrats doing? What do they stand for?
As the public looks at the Democratic Party? Now, they
stand for illegal immigration. They stand for effectively embracing recidivism,
not putting anyone in jail, and all these god awful
stories week after week, just like the light train stabbing,

(24:39):
the second one again as someone who's been convicted of
many times an illegal immigrant, I mean, what are the
They embrace fraud? They're opposed twenty six states won't let
the federal government look at their SNAP programs and their
Medicaid programs.

Speaker 11 (24:57):
Why. I mean, fraud is a serious thing.

Speaker 12 (25:00):
Hundreds of billions of dollars every year and that is,
by the way, coming a statistic coming from Joe Biden's
administration are lost to waste and fraud by our federal
welfare programs. What is it that the Democrats are offering
people that they can possibly like? And as you say,
the final thing standing up for narco traffickers, that is

(25:23):
really a winning argument. My god, what is wrong with
these people?

Speaker 2 (25:28):
So whenever it comes to Democrats and homeless programs, money
seems to have vanished. Remember we had the Deblasio administration
with that thrive.

Speaker 11 (25:36):
Indorson dollars billion missing.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
Now in this Somali, Minnesota, Tim Waltz, whatever this is,
they're talking about maybe up to eight billion missing. Mom,
Donnie is now talking about a homeless program. Does that
mean another billion is going to get lost somewhere?

Speaker 11 (25:53):
Sure?

Speaker 12 (25:53):
Sure, because among other things, none of these people has
real world private sector or experience. So you know, I
think it was Jamie Dimond yesterday on Maria's Maria Bartiromo
show talking about the city is three hundred thousand people
and basically, successful mayors are people who can manage. Well,

(26:14):
do you think this guy has any management capabilities at all?
Of course he doesn't. He hasn't read, he hasn't run
a business. He hasn't run any Most Democrats, by the way,
have never run a business, which is a very interesting
differential in my view, between Republicans and Democrats. When Democrats
get fired, they get voted out of a job, what

(26:35):
do they do? They run for another office because they
don't know how to run a restaurant or build a
house or anything practical. Republicans can go back to farming
or running a car dealership or you know name it.
I mean, actually, if you look at seriously, what you
know congress people and mayors and stuff do after retirement.

Speaker 11 (26:53):
They either go to work for.

Speaker 12 (26:55):
MSNBC if they're Democrats, or they go to Harvard to teach,
like build A Blasio or Lori Lightfoot, or they run
for another office. Look at Andrew Como. He couldn't think
of anything else to do, so we ran for mayor
of New York. That didn't turn out well, So what's
he going to do? He's probably going to find, you know,
mayor of Buffalo or something next to run for.

Speaker 11 (27:14):
It's really pitiful. But anyway, Mandani taking.

Speaker 12 (27:18):
On a lot of money to spew at the homeless.
You know, his latest thing on homelessness is he's no
longer going to enforce the eradication or the cleaning out
of the homeless encampments. Who does that benefit Mark? Who
is really applauding that move? It certainly isn't the residence
of the neighborhoods where these homeless encampments spring up, because

(27:40):
their lives are going to be made a mess by
the fact that you're going to have this sprawl of dirty,
sometimes violent homeless community that kind of erupts in their
midst It isn't good for the homeless, some seventy percent
of whom are drug users or alcoholics, because they aren't

(28:01):
going to get any treatment. They prefer to live on
the street because they can continue to abuse drugs and alcohol.
It isn't good for them. Who is it good for?
I mean, I really ask that all sincerity. Who does
he think he's benefiting there?

Speaker 2 (28:15):
Yeah? You know, here in the radio business, we want
to do something. Sometimes we see what happened in other
stations did it and they come in with the report
forty seven stations did it and the ratings plunged all
forty seven times, So we know not to do it now.
In the case of Mamdani, and he's a very smart guy,
when they show him thirteen other cities did it and
with disaster, why can he take in that information and

(28:37):
calculate all this.

Speaker 12 (28:39):
Well, it's the same thing with rent control, right, rent
control has never ever worked anywhere, and so nonetheless, he
is very in favor of capping rent increases on subsidized housing,
even though it has been proven time after time that
what you do is disincentivize landlords from pitting any money

(29:00):
any investment into the housing stock, So basically you end
up with worse off, less affordable, and crumbling housing. So
to your point, why doesn't he learn from that? Why
don't the young people out protesting in favor of socialism
learn from the fact that never error has socialism resulted

(29:21):
in anything but increase poverty and, by the way, increase
wealth disparities. I mean, look at Venezuela, a very good example.
So the answer to your question is because ideologues like
Mom Donnie don't really ever look at facts. They don't
look at common sense answers. Are they are wedded to

(29:43):
an ideological approach, whether it's climate change or just social
justice or whatever that basically is a failure. But then
you know, nobody's around to kind of blame them for
the failure usually, so they just kind of go on
and do what they want. But it's a fact free
zone that Mom Donnie is living in.

Speaker 11 (30:03):
It's true.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Is it just childish? That's like a you know, childish teenagers.
It something sounds good, they do it. They don't think
of the consequences.

Speaker 12 (30:11):
So yeah, yes, because because just what you said, there's
no consequences. What are the consequences if he blows a
billion dollars over the next four years on homelessness.

Speaker 11 (30:23):
Look at Gavin Newsom.

Speaker 12 (30:24):
How much money has Gavin Newsom spent on homeless projects
in California only to see the money disappear, the homeless
population continue to grow, et cetera. Does any It's incredible
to me. How is it the voters don't say, well,
wait a minute, didn't you just ask for five billion
dollars for that?

Speaker 11 (30:44):
Where did that money go?

Speaker 12 (30:46):
Show us the money, show us, you know, let's have accountability.
There is never accountability. It is mystifying.

Speaker 2 (30:53):
So is the real problem that we don't have legitimate
news organizations anymore. If we had real news and media,
there would become consequences. Newsom would be a time day
and night. So how do you run a democracy with
corrupt news?

Speaker 11 (31:05):
I think that's part of it.

Speaker 12 (31:07):
I actually think what sort of tragic is we have
people who listen to one side or another kind of
depending on their politics. They listen to Fox News, they
listen to you, or they listen to CNN and MS
now or whatever it's called, and people get very little
cross fertilization.

Speaker 11 (31:24):
I think that's fair, very I read. I'm sure you
read publications.

Speaker 12 (31:29):
On the other side, a lot of people simply don't
They don't want to know, they don't want to hear,
and you know what, that's not good for our country.
I hope at some point there really are news organizations
that will cover, you know, stories from both sides. I
was listening to was it Margaret Brennan who interviewed Elan

(31:49):
Omar yesterday?

Speaker 11 (31:51):
You know, and you just want to kind of put
your head through the wall.

Speaker 12 (31:53):
It's like, really, you're not going to challenge her on
the fact that the Somalis have been perpetuating these frauds.

Speaker 11 (32:00):
But by the way, it's not that big a community.

Speaker 12 (32:02):
If there were hundreds of people, which probably there were
involved in scamming of the three different programs, they acted
like it was just one three different programs that they
took billions of dollars from. Don't you think an awful
lot of Somalis knew what was going on?

Speaker 1 (32:19):
I do.

Speaker 11 (32:19):
And for her to just sort of.

Speaker 12 (32:21):
Accept that, oh, yeah, Somali's really are the victims here,
I don't know, it's pretty discouraging.

Speaker 2 (32:28):
She was funny yesterday. Whatever idiotic explanation Omar gave, she
just nodded like a bubble head.

Speaker 12 (32:34):
Yeah, just nodded, right, I mean it's like but the
best media breakout yesterday was Leslie Stall deciding that Marjorie
Taylor Green was the person she needed to interview for
sixty minutes. So Marjorie Taylor Green, someone who has been
totally widely chastised, debunked, criticized on the left, loads on

(32:58):
the left as being a conspirat, theorists and all the rest.
Now she's acceptable because she's gonna blast Donald Trump.

Speaker 11 (33:05):
I mean, really, isn't that just incredible?

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Yeah? Pretty pretty transparent thought. Oh my gosh, well, great stuff. Hey,
everybody should go to lizpeak dot com P E e K.

news show here every night nine o'clock. It's Jimmy Fayla
On seven to ten wor.

Speaker 1 (33:56):
Mark Simon.

Speaker 2 (33:59):
War Well, Hey, we got a lot to get to
you in the next hour. We'll get to mom, Donnie
and his crazy plans. We'll get to sixty minutes in
more trouble than ever. We'll get the Netflix and that
weird deal. We'll get to the New York Jets and
and a whole lot more. Don't forget I'm here every
day ten to noon, or you can listen anytime you want.
Just get the podcast anyplace you get podcasts. If you

(34:21):
missed the show, missed an hour, just get the podcast anyway.
A lot to get to in the next hour coming
up right here on seven to ten. Wo welcome back
to the Mark Simone Show seven tenor Well, freezing cold
day today, So we're just talking about this a moment ago.

(34:43):
Marjorie Taylor Green. You remember that looney woman, Marjorie Taylor Green.
So she turned on Trump when on Trump started attacking him,
attacking him, attacking him. Trump attacked her back, called her
a trader. So she left politics, and she left politics
is all the polling show. She couldn't win. She would

(35:06):
not win reelection, so it looks better just to resign,
drop out, so you're not going to run again. And
you know, sixty Minutes would never put a woman like
that on the air. Crazy conspiracy theory, nutty. They would
never put her on sixty minutes. Ever, unless she starts
attacking Trump. Then all of a sudden, she's the big

(35:26):
interview last night, the big superstar interview of sixty Minutes.
She's the main feature, an interview with Marjorie Taylor Green.
She's attacking Trump. They love her, they put her on
the air. She did have one great moment though, where
Leslie Stall said to her, you know our awful toxic politics,
all the crazy partisan She said you. She looked at

(35:50):
Marjorie Taylor Green. You know you were a big part
of the toxic politics. And good for Marjorie Taylor Green.
She is and you weren't. He said, Leslie, you were
as toxic as anybody politically, which is true. I mean
Leslie Stall got caught in more lying fake news. Remember
the famous Trump interview where he talked about the surveillance

(36:13):
on his campaign, and Leslie Stall said, there's no truth
to that. Well, of course it turned out to be
absolutely true, and she looked ridiculous. But President Trump went
on truth Social last night, really went after sixty minutes
Paramount attacking them like crazy. He really unleashed on them.
He said, under Paramont sixty minutes even got worse. It's

(36:36):
actually even worse now than before. Well, give them time
to cleaning house there. It's going to take a while.
It's gonna be done very slowly. They're going to get
rid of people one by one. Leslie Stall will be gone.
Gail King has already gone. I mean she's still on,
but she's leaving. All these people will be leaving. They'll
slowly clean up this mess. It's going to take a while.

(36:58):
Now Paramount is in the good graces of the Trump administrations.
They don't want to lose that because they still want
to get Warner Brothers. Discovery. Looks like Netflix won the
bidding war to take over Warner Brothers, which includes a
lot of stuff. It includes HBO, it includes all kinds.
One of the reasons people want this company is the

(37:20):
Warner Brothers Studio is actually the biggest movie studio in Hollywood,
and it's a very important major production facility. And if
you're Netflix, you're making a lot of movies and TV
shows and all that kind of stuff. So you could
use that big studio. Also, you could use HBO, HBO Max,
all that stuff as a platform. There's a lot of

(37:41):
other stuff in CNN means absolutely nothing in this. It
doesn't make much money, it doesn't have any viewers. It's
a little tiny nothing thing in there. In fact, if
they could get rid of that in the deal, they would.
Netflix doesn't want it. But part of the deal Warner
Brothers discover if you buy the company, you got to
take CNN off our hands too. We don't want it either.

(38:04):
So although somebody buying this could maybe use it for something,
you know, you get rid of all the CNN stuff,
and it's still a cable network that's on all the
cable systems, but even that's not of much value nowadays.
So Netflix has won the bidding where now they may
still not get it. They may not get the deal
because the Trump administration would have to approve all of

(38:26):
this and they could block it. There's all sorts of
reasons to block the Netflix deal. I mean good business reasons.
It's too much of a monopoly and it would create
too big of one streaming service, so it could be
held up. And that means Paramount, who was the second
place bidder, could just raise their numbers a little and

(38:47):
get it. So they're still in the running. But if
Trump's mad at them over sixty minutes, that's not going
to help. The price now is like thirty dollars a year.
This will go to thirty five dollars a year because
you can spin off a lot of these cable assets
and probably get another three four dollars this year. So
don't be so sure Netflix gets it, and don't be

(39:10):
so sure the price doesn't go up in the end. Hey,
the New York Jets, there are a lot of Jets
fans out there, die hard Jets fans, been going on
their whole life. They love the Jets. You could try
to reason with them. It's like people with Trump arrangement syndrome.
You can't reason with them. It's the same thing with

(39:34):
the Mets. Mets fans, but every so often the Mets
get pretty good. Every so often the Mets are in
the playoffs in the World Series. Every so often but
with the Jets, nothing good ever happens. If you're going
to be a Jets fan, you're just asking for heartbreak
and heartache. And so they just got eliminated from the

(39:58):
playoffs yesterday, eliminated from a playoffs every year for fifteen years.

Speaker 8 (40:05):
Now.

Speaker 2 (40:05):
If you look back at the history of the Jets,
you got Joe Namath, You've got great Jets teams, you
got some great So what's the problem. It's one guy.
It's Woody Johnson, who's a very nice guy. He's a
friend of mine. I like the guy, but he's the
worst owner in the history of sports. He is a

(40:27):
great guy in real life. He's a generous guy. He's
done a lot of public service. He's a good guy.
Woody Johnson. He has no business owning a football team.
He's not just a bad owner. Everybody agrees. I'm not
an expert, but you talk to all the greatest football
expert sports experts, they all agree. He's the single worst

(40:49):
owner in the history of sports. This is the worst
franchise in the history of sports. There are people in
the professional sports football world saying that they should come
up with something in the NFL world where an owner
can be eliminated if he's that bad. In other words,
you know, they're very careful who they give the team to.

(41:10):
To become an NFL owner is like the ultimate club
of the world. To be accepted there. But there should
be some mechanism if a guy turns out to be
the worst owner on earth and it's hopeless, total disaster,
that the NFL can make him sell the team. There
should be something like that for a case like this.
This guy is so unbelievably horrendously bad as an owner. Now,

(41:33):
he bought the team for this is years ago for
about six hundred million. It's now worth I think it's
eight billion, but some are saying it's worth ten billion.
So if he's forced to sell, he would make like
a nine and a half million a billion, nine and
a half billion dollar profit. So I mean, if you

(41:55):
forced him to sell it, it's a great thing for
him too. I mean, he should be very happy. What's
the point of owning a team? Well, some people have
just really loved football in sports and they want to
they're really into Now this guy's that came. I think
it's more of a social thing. To be an NFL
team owner is quite an honor it's the highest honor

(42:16):
there is for a billionaire. But also it's a great thing.
Every Sunday, you host everybody in your big, huge suite.
You invite fifty one hundred friends. It's quite a thing.
So now you might be saying, well, wait a minute,
maybe he really is a great, great lover of football.
I don't think so. I mean, if he was that
into football, he'd know what he was doing. I mean,

(42:39):
nobody is worse at running, so it's pretty obvious he
doesn't know anything about football. And he spent money. He
goes out and gets these great players, sometimes Aaron Rodgers
and others. But you'll notice whenever they get a great
player and bring him in, they ruin the guy. I
don't care how good a quarterback you are, you are
ruined when you come to the Jets. It's the worst

(43:02):
team in the history of sports. Just for the good
of New York, for the good of football. He's got
to sell the team. You gotta sell. I know, it's
maybe make some kind of deal. You can still have
the luxury suite every week and invite all your friends
or something.

Speaker 13 (43:19):
But.

Speaker 2 (43:23):
You gotta sell the team. It would be the only
decent thing to do for Jets fans. Put them out
of their misery anyway, he's speaking of sports. Don Mattingly
did not make the Hall of Fame again this year.
That's like seven years in a row. He doesn't get
voted in or the Hall of Fame. That's not right. So, mom, Donnie,

(43:44):
his new plan now is no more sweeps, homeless sweeps.
You know, under Eric Adams, especially in the last year,
you'll notice you don't see a lot of homeless people
all You'll see one here and there, but you don't
see homeless camps. You don't see any of that. They've
been cleaning it up. It's a great, great plan, mom,
Donnie is going to eliminate that. He's going to allow

(44:05):
the homeless encampments. Being a crazy left wing socialist.

Speaker 4 (44:09):
The issue with the encampment sweeps is that they are
simply pushing New Yorkers who are living in the cold
to another place where they will live in the cold.
In three hundred and sixty five days of twenty twenty four,
this administration did not connect a single New Yorker affected
by these sweeps with permanent housing. That is a failure.

Speaker 2 (44:30):
Yeah, so that could be, but of course that's not.
There's two problems. One, you want to do something about
the homeless, get them some place to live. But the
other problem is you want to protect the area where
the camp is, if it's a Union Square or if
it's a wherever it is, if it's thirty fourth and fifth,
you don't want a homeless camp. Or you want to

(44:51):
protect the neighborhood, the block, the buildings. You get rid
of the homeless encampment. You've got to get rid of it,
otherwise you ruin the neighborhood. You do tremendous damage to businesses, apartments,
economic damage. It creates chaos. It's pretty obvious. And he
says that the homeless were never connected to permanent house.
Well that doesn't you know, Just get them off the street,

(45:12):
find them someplace. It doesn't have to be permanent. You
can work on that later.

Speaker 14 (45:15):
If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the
housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem
anything you're doing to be a success. We are going
to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting
those New Yorkers to housing, whether it's supportive housing, whether
it's rental housing, whatever kind of housing.

Speaker 2 (45:34):
It is, well, see no, not really. Job number one
is clean up the street, clean up the chaos. That
was part of the plan. At some point you could
find them permanent housing. You know, you could say, well
what about the shelters. First of all, clean up the shelters.
You know, remember Deblasio would inspect the shelter and he'd say, well,
people can't go here. It's got rodents, it's got crime. Well,

(45:57):
as Juliani showed, you can fix that. You come in
next day with an army of exterminators, get rid of
the rodents, You come in with a bunch of security
and get rid of the You can do that now
they find. The other thing is the homeless will not
go into the shelters. They won't stay in the shelters.
Why because you're not allowed to use drugs, you're not

(46:18):
allowed to drink in there. Now, most of the homeless,
they're vast majority. It's not about economics, it's about addiction.
They're addicts drugs, alcohol, crack whatever. That's why they're out there.
But Adams is pretty good with his sweep the streets.
If he's stating he's.

Speaker 7 (46:35):
No longer going to implement a smart policy on our part,
New Yorkers are about to see the repercussions of that.

Speaker 2 (46:44):
Yeah, Now again why Democrats are incapable of learning anything.
They've done this in other cities where they don't do
the homeless sweeps, they leave the encampment. It's about twenty
other cities have tried this every single time. It's absolutely disaster.
So you've tested it twenty times. It's a total disaster.

(47:04):
How could you not learn anything from the tests? But
that's Democrats left wing. They don't learn. You know, even
germs learn germs actually, you know, they learn. They changed.
They they you know, you get a virus, it mutates,
They know how to mutate. Change. Democrats forget it. They

(47:25):
can't do it.

Speaker 7 (47:26):
We stated it was inhumane for people to live on
the streets, human waste, drug path finalia, a schizophrenic bipolar
living on our subways, living in our streets. We say, no,
you deserve to be inside with care. Now, if he's
stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
on our part, New Yorkers are going to see the

(47:48):
repercussions of that.

Speaker 2 (47:49):
Yeah, but you can't tell Mamdani anything. It's impossible. But
Adams has actually done a good job. Now, Randy Mastro,
he's the deputy first mayor, which means he really runs everything.
He runs city, all top guy. Randy Mastro. He was
first deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani. So he's That's one

(48:10):
reason you saw everything change a year ago when Randy
Mastro came in. That's how everything got better and better
and better. But he's put in his resident resignation for
New Year's Eve. He leaves because the next day, New
Year's Day, Mom Donnie takes over the next day, how
bad will it get? I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
You know.

Speaker 2 (48:34):
One thing about mom Donnie. Like a lot of these guys,
and I remember, he's very, very very Deblasio. Like Deblasio.
You don't remember this, but he ran as a socialist.
He ran with all the same crazy kooky socialism, left
wing stuff. But as soon as he got elected, he
started cozying up to every billionaire in the city. Deblasio's

(48:55):
campaign was anti billionaire, but it remember it was about
there's two New York's, one for the zillionaires, one for
everybody else. We got to go after these billionaires. And
as soon as he got elected, de Blasio did go
after the billionaires, but in a different way. It's all
with my own eyes. Anytime he saw one of these billionaires,
you go right up to them, Hey, how are you

(49:16):
You have my cell number? No, let me give you
my cell number. They knew what that meant. They meant
that means you can call them anytime you need anything.
He'll take care of you, and they know what it means.
It means also, a guy's gonna call you every couple
of weeks and want some money a donation. That's normal.
The billionaire will get a call, can you do fifty? Yeah,

(49:38):
I can do fifty. It means fifty thousand, all right,
We'll tell you where to send it, and they'd give
you the name of a pack. They want you to
donate it too, And every couple of months you do that,
and then whenever you needed something, you could call well, mom.
Donnie has already started down this road. Now he claims
it's for his transition team, but he went around Mamdannian Company,

(50:03):
CosIng up to all the billionaires. He wanted to raise
some money for the transition team, and believe it or not,
in the last couple of weeks he raised four million
from these billionaires. He's been all over them and he's
continued to do it. He's been doing these private fundraisers
with billionaires. There was one in Michael, I can't pronounce

(50:25):
this guy's name, billionaire ceo crypto guy held a fundraiser
in his Greenwich Village home. The next day, Mam Donnie
was in a private Tribbee Tribeca home where the Hunt
oil eras Lee Hunt Hendricks, hosted another big fundraiser for him.
Two uptown events, one lower east Side. These are all zillionaires, billionaires,

(50:48):
thousand dollars a ticket, millions raised from these donors. Now,
what does the transition team need so much money for? Well,
as they said, most of the funds will go toward
office operations, which is fine, but that's more like forty
thousand to operate the office. You don't need four million
to do that. You really don't. So they were raising

(51:12):
millions and millions. That's a good sign. That's a good sign.
It means he's even more Deblasio like than we thought. Hey,
once again, here's the real estate report. Sales are booming
in New York. Don't think everybody's leaving. In the last month,
eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have been signed. In
the real high end, the super luxury four million dollar

(51:33):
plus apartment sales were very strong. Just last week, forty
one contracts were signed. That's a lot shows buyer confidence.
This is all since the election. Many skyscrapers are now
being going to be built. As I mentioned, JP Morgan
Chase just opened this four billion dollar unbelievable, unbelievable skyscraper

(51:54):
where ten thousand works. They're now looking for at least one,
maybe two new skyscrapers. They're going to build nearby on
the corner of fifty second and Park. They're tearing down
like four buildings there to build a ninety story skyscraper.
So these big real estate guys, they got a lot
of faith in New York City. And these guys are

(52:16):
that's how they got to be billionaires. They're always right
about this stuff. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight
hundred three to two one zero seven ten. Is the
number eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (52:29):
This is to the Mark Simon Show. I'm seventen wrre Hey.

Speaker 2 (52:37):
Oh, every year you know we do this. It's very important.
We raise money for Hunger Thon, which is a very
very good cause that they work really hard. They raise
money to feed the millions struggling with hunger, and they
do this great auction every year with great prizes. One
of the prizes is a visit to our show, our

(52:57):
studio right here. You can come spend some time. I'm

(54:23):
some calls. Let's go to Vincent in Brooklyn. Vincent, how you.

Speaker 3 (54:27):
Doing, Good morning, Malco, I'm okay, good morning, Marah Mark.
The first thing I want to say before I get
to my main point, Jessica Tish is going down the
wrong road. She apologized on behalf of her brother because
her brother had a Jewish philanthropic meeting said that Mondamie
was the enemy of the Jewish people. And she jumps

(54:49):
in and apologizes on his bef. I would never accept that.
I tell her now, I wouldn't vote for I'd vote
for the brother. Part of the problem with Mondamie's plan
is I get calls from the city and from the
federal government to rent to homeless people, to Section eight,
to drug addicts, to this, that and the other. And

(55:10):
the problem is is you rent to those people, and
they even guarantee that they're gonna pay you the rent
and everything. What happens to the other tenants when they're
in the building. What kind of a mess they're going
to make. My father years ago, almost fifty years ago,
in one of his buildings that he owned, very large
apartment building, he had a person or a woman who

(55:33):
was a degenerate. She was on welfare. She didn't pay
her rent for two years. My father finally got her
in court and house in court right and the judge
order and the city was going to pay, was going
to give her the money to pay the back rent.
To pay the back rent, she flipped the bird on

(55:53):
the judge, told the judge where to go, and the
judge is shoot in order. She flipped the bird. My
father winded up. He actually died before they could get
the tenant out and the new landlord who bought the building.
He eventually sold it because of this tenant. That's the
problem with these people. They have to live Mark in

(56:17):
a supervised dormitory where they have to get up at
a certain time where they have to to go to
work or.

Speaker 2 (56:24):
Vincent, that's an excellent point. Excellent point.

Speaker 3 (56:26):
We gotta go to the dormitory. Mark, they can't live
in regular housing.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
Excellent call. As always, Vincent, thanks for calling. Hey. When
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us next
lots to talk to her about coming up on seven
to ten wor in.

Speaker 1 (56:41):
Mark on Demand by setting a presead for his podcast
on the iHeartRadio app. Now back to Mark zimon on WOI.

Speaker 2 (56:51):
Well, hey, Miranda Divine, I would say now the number
one biggest columnist in America. Of course, all our columns
in the New York Post site. Hey. Also, you know
she's the best selling author. If you haven't read the
book The Big Guy. This is all about Biden Hunter
the Biden administration. Joe, you got to get this book,
The Big Guy. It's a huge bestseller. If you need
a good Christmas present, the book The Big Guy by

(57:15):
Miranda Divine. Also she does one of the best podcasts around.
It's called pod Force one. You can get it wherever
you get a podcasts. And she's with us right now.
Miranda Divine. How you doing? Nope, I don't hear Miranda Divine.
Are you there? Oh there? You are great to talk

(57:38):
to you. Where do we even start? Hey, this pipe
bomber who tried to blow up the RNC and the DNC.
The Trump administration catches the guy. Three week investigation. It's great.
What happened For the last five years, nothing happened. Nobody
looked for the guy.

Speaker 15 (57:56):
Well, I mean that's the big question. And I think cash,
Betel and Pambondi alluded to that when they said that
we had no new information, just fresh eyes, and the
information seemed to.

Speaker 13 (58:09):
Be there right in front of them. When you look
at the.

Speaker 15 (58:14):
Court documents the other day on Friday, when this guy,
Brian Cole Junior, was arraigned, it shows that they got
him through his cell phone. It pinned seven times on
that night of January five, twenty twenty one, around the
time that the surveillance cameras showed this gray hooded figure

(58:38):
wandering around planting pipe bombs just half a mile from
the Capitol and it's you know, the guy is seen
on his phone in these videos several times or the
person and the phone companies have said, yeah, there it is.
And they knew that back in eight of twenty twenty one,

(59:01):
at the latest, April of twenty twenty one, the FBI
had that information. But something strange happened to that investigation.
They had thirteen FBI special agents on the pipe bomb
case initially, and then they just they just deprioritized it.
I think, you know, Chris Ray ends up going before

(59:24):
the Senate on March the first and gets hammered by
Democrats demanding to know why he hasn't arrested more grandmothers
for trespassing outside the capital, more Trump supporters, And you know,
maybe it's as simple as that, but the FBI was
not looking for this pipe bomber because the answer was

(59:48):
staring them in the face. And they spent a lot
of resources doing a lot of stupid, well, I don't know, stupid,
but you know, difficult things, trying to track down you know,
who bought batteries nine volt batteries, and who bought you know,
the cap that was end cap on the pipelom et cetera.

(01:00:08):
When they were rounding up the grandmothers from J six
using cell.

Speaker 13 (01:00:14):
Phone data, so very strange.

Speaker 15 (01:00:17):
And then there was the case that the the FBI
guy in charge of the whole investigation, the head of
the Washington FBI Field Office, a guy retired now Stephen
Duane Tutwono. He testified to Congress and in a closed
door hearing and he said, oh, we got some some

(01:00:40):
of this cell phone data, but.

Speaker 13 (01:00:41):
It was corrupted. Maybe the culprit was, you know, in
that cell phone data.

Speaker 15 (01:00:46):
And yet the cell phone companies said no, no, we
didn't hand over anything that was corrupted, and the FBI
never complained that.

Speaker 13 (01:00:54):
It was corrupted. So that's another little mystery.

Speaker 2 (01:00:58):
Is it this simple that when they looked at this
pipe bombing case because he tried to blow up the
RNC and the DNC, that it was pretty clear it
was not going to turn out to be a Trump supporter,
so it didn't fit the narrative, so they just let
it go for that reason.

Speaker 15 (01:01:12):
Yes, and maybe they knew that the suspect was a
young black man at the time, he would have been
twenty five and probably not a MAGA supporter.

Speaker 13 (01:01:22):
Didn't fit with their narrative.

Speaker 15 (01:01:24):
That January six was an insurrection committed by ultra maga
white supremacists. You know, Joe Biden dined out on that.

Speaker 13 (01:01:33):
For the next four years.

Speaker 15 (01:01:34):
They thought that January six was the nail in the
coffin of Trump's career prospects, and then they just to
make sure, they decided to bang eighty one different indictments
on him, and none of it worked. And now they're
in trouble and about to be found out. Not that
they really care because five years.

Speaker 13 (01:01:55):
Have gone past almost and I.

Speaker 15 (01:01:59):
Guess they figured they're home free.

Speaker 2 (01:02:01):
Yeah, but they always think they got the nail in
the coffin. They think the Epstein file that's the nail
in the coffin, the Narco boats, that's They're always wrong
every time. How Come they don't learn from their.

Speaker 15 (01:02:11):
Mistakes because they actually get benefit from them. Oh, because
they don't destroy him, but they certainly knock off a
bit of support. You know, suddenly people start grumbling the
White House needs to turn its attention to refuting the lies.
It's just it's all about tying him down. I always

(01:02:31):
think of Donald Trump as like you know, Gulliver and
Gulliver's troubles and he's got all the little midgets just
tying him down, and he breaks free. He always breaks free,
or or he's like the bull in the ring and
the little guys come out come of what they're called.
But they throw the darts at him and the spears
and just weaking him up before the Matador, And of

(01:02:54):
course the Matador is an old broken down hack which
was Joe Biden. But by that stage their damage had
been done. You know, they do inflict Don Trump, which
stands a lot, but he does get batter than bruised
because he's human. And this is what they do when
it works for them, and they're just playing the same
old playbook with a few different characters.

Speaker 2 (01:03:16):
Huh, that's interesting. Now, whatever you have mad at Trump
for the blowing up the Narco boats, whatever it is,
Biden Obama did exactly the same thing with drone strikes. Whatever,
whatever you're pointing to, you can point to the Biden
did it, Obama did it. How Come that doesn't register
with MSNBC.

Speaker 15 (01:03:34):
Viewers, Oh, because they just call it what about ism
and they just focus on the outrage in front of them.

Speaker 13 (01:03:42):
Yeah, it's an.

Speaker 15 (01:03:44):
Old worn playbook and luckily MS now as they call
themselves just have you know, dwindling the audience and dwindling influence,
and the same with CNN. So I mean there's fewer
people that they can propagandaze. I thought it was rather
disturbing in that FBI report I wrote about last week

(01:04:07):
from a group of sort of whistleblower type people. They
said that every television in the different field offices at
the FBI is tuned into MS NOW and CNN, but
never Fox and so they've got that steady drone. It

(01:04:30):
is like propaganda. It's like Radio Rwanda before the Civil war.
You know, you just keep on the drum beat the
other side. They're evil, they're doing bad things.

Speaker 13 (01:04:41):
Donald Trump's a monster.

Speaker 15 (01:04:43):
And you know you get that pumped into your head
twenty four to seven or every minute that you're at work,
and then you go home and do the same thing.

Speaker 13 (01:04:51):
It has to have an effect.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Yeah, Now, the story was the good men and women
in the FBI. It was just a bad left wing
cooks on the ninth floor there with Cami. But now
we're hearing there were a lot of left wing cooks
in the ranks put there by Muller and call me
through the years, I think you.

Speaker 15 (01:05:06):
Reported that, Yes, yes, and you know it's because it
was a deliberate decision by Muller. I'm not sure he
particularly wanted lefties, but he certainly wanted university educated agents,
and so he really revolutionized the ranks. And when you
bring in people from the universities who've done soft social sciences,

(01:05:29):
inevitably they're going to be propagandized lefties. And that changed
the tenor I'm told from some old hands of the.

Speaker 13 (01:05:38):
Bureau.

Speaker 15 (01:05:39):
And then, of course Comy was a bad guy, and
they started to prioritize high So of all the professions,
of all the university educated professions, who are the most
left wing, well, you'd have social workers and teachers, and

(01:06:00):
they prioritized teachers. So there you have it, and teachers
have got the added disadvantage.

Speaker 13 (01:06:08):
There are great teachers.

Speaker 15 (01:06:09):
I Am never going to take that away from them,
but they would know themselves, and they tell me themselves
that they are surrounded by lefties who are also very
arrogant because they're used to having classrooms of children who
they can command, and so they waltzed into the FBI
like they own the place.

Speaker 2 (01:06:28):
Interesting. Well, Miranda Devine, great work as always. Now you
do Pod Force one. You should listen to our podcast,
Pod Force one. Who's on the next.

Speaker 15 (01:06:37):
Episode, Well, on Wednesday, we're talking to Hami Dillon, who's
Assistant Attorney General, who's in charge of the Civil Rights
Division at the DOJ. And she is amazing, talk about
she would be one of the best warriors in the administration.

Speaker 13 (01:06:55):
For the good things.

Speaker 15 (01:06:56):
She's against big tech, censorship and all sorts of government
own reached. She's waded in where others fear to tread.

Speaker 13 (01:07:04):
And she's also voter integrity.

Speaker 15 (01:07:06):
That's one of her big things and I think she's
going to do a lot of good. There are a
lot of states are resisting her demands that they hand
over their voter rolls to make sure that they're clean,
but are knowing her, she'll make sure she gets it
all done.

Speaker 2 (01:07:20):
Yeah, and before Wednesday, you know what, Go listen to
the past episodes of Podforce one with President Trump with
Scott Besson's great.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 15 (01:07:31):
The latest one's Ron Johnson right interesting on quite a
few on Russia Gate and interestingly on he's got to
be in his bonnet about Tower seven at the World
Trade Center, so, which is interesting because it did blow
up in a weird way, and we do know that
there were CIA and FBI flaws.

Speaker 13 (01:07:50):
There was lots of files.

Speaker 2 (01:07:52):
Well, everybody, go listen to Podforce one the podcast wherever
