FULL SHOW: Matt Lauer wants to come back to TV after 8 years; The economy is important.

There have been rumors circulating about President Trump allegedly falling asleep during events and press conferences. While these claims remain unsubstantiated, some Democrats believe they are true. Meanwhile, Senator Mark Kelly is facing criticism for stating that the Trump Administration is allegedly issuing illegal orders to the military. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. Critics of President Trump, including Democrats and anti-Trump supporters, appear to be using every possible angle to attack the president as the 2026 midterm election approaches. Additionally, the Department of Homeland Security has sent a second letter to New York Attorney General Letitia James, requesting the transfer of 7,000 convicted migrants currently held in NYC prisons. The situation raises the question: Will former FBI Director James Comey permit Letitia James to hand over these individuals? The answer remains uncertain. The U.S. Justice Department is reportedly considering new indictments against New York Attorney General Letitia James and former FBI Director James Comey, following the recent dismissal of charges against both individuals. Mark interviews political strategist Ed Rollins. He discusses why some believe Democrats are attempting to gain control of numerous cities across the country, including figures like Zohran Mamdani. The way people consume media may play a significant role in shaping voters’ decisions in upcoming elections. California Governor Gavin Newsom could be a contender in the 2028 presidential election, and the economy should be a key issue for future candidates.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is seven to g R boy.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
The Mark Simon Show starts now.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Well, first, the snow of the year. Not here Manhattan,
wouldn't dare snow here looks very nice out actually cloudy dry.
But around the Tri State area you'll see some snow
here and there, and upstate you know those crazy people
that live way up there. Wait, I shouldn't say we
have people listening up there, But if you live in Buffalo,
I don't know how the hell you do it with

(00:28):
that two feet of snow every two seconds. A lot
to get to today. We'll get to Collby and Tis James,
we'll get to matt Lower, We'll get we'll get to
the casinos. We'll get to a plenty to talk about today.
You're in a very strange era. We've never seen anything
like this before. Been going on for ten years. It

(00:51):
gets worse and worse and worse. And it all started
with Donald Trump coming down that escalator and for whatever reason,
the fake news decided they could just take the gloves
off and really go after him. You know, the media
was always a little slantedd you go back and you
watch Dan rather years ago, it was slanted. Even our
old friend Walter cronkite, but slanted meant you use a

(01:16):
rougher adjective when you were talking about the Republican than
the Democrat. It didn't mean you'd out and out just
run fake news. That started with well, actually, give Dan
rather credit. It actually started with Bush. They made up
that whole fake thing about him going a wall and
the National Guard wasn't true. They made up that whole
fake Haliburton scandal with Dick Cheney. So that was the

(01:37):
real beginning of real fake news. But it was only
done then when they had it to it. You know,
once or twice every year they would come up with
a fake news story and push it. Now it's every day.
They've decided, in their crazy minds spit their Trump derangement syndrome,
that they're justified in breaking all the rules, throwing away

(01:59):
all rules, all standards. There's no standards anymore. You know,
once in a while you'd get an anonymous source, a
deep throat, but the deep throat was like the number
two guy at the FBI who had access to all
the information. But now the anonymous sources anybody, So you
get all this fake news. You've been reading stories in

(02:20):
the New York Times for the last week about how
Trump's health is in real question. He is showing signs
of fatigue, he's unable to stay awake, he's unable to work.
None of this is true. It's just total fake nonsense.
So instead of a deep throat source where it's a
number two guy at the FBI who's right there in
the job see and everything, what they do is they'll

(02:43):
talk to the New York Times reporter will call somebody
not at the White House, but somebody that was in
the Obama White House or the Biden White House and
obviously hates Trump, and they'll say, are you hearing what
I'm hearing about the fatigue the president not able to
do is just and then they'll say, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've heard that. Now it's somebody who has absolutely no

(03:05):
direct knowledge of anything, but it's enough for the New
York Times reporter to put sources. I talk to, my
sources tell me that. So it's total nonsense. They're even
using the worst people in the world, the lowest people
on earth, Michael Wolf, people like that who've been printing
the most fake, false nonsense for years. But in their

(03:31):
crazy hatred of Trump, this deranged hatred of Trump. They
feel they're justified whatever they have to do to get
this guy. So you've seen all the New York Times
stories about how the fatigue is unbelievable. Trump is just
unable to work. It can't work very much. He's just

(03:52):
barely coming into the office. Well, they finally released the
actual White House logs, believe it or not, their logs,
Secret Service logs, white House logs that keep track of
where the president is and what he's doing twenty four
to seven. Well, the log show he's been working twelve
hour days in the Oval office, twelve hour days in
the Oval office, and then when he's out of the
Oval office, if he's in the dining room of the residents,

(04:14):
he's making phone calls, texting. So he's just working NonStop,
day and night. Nobody's no president's ever kept up this
kind of schedule. So the New York Times stuff was
total nonsense. Even this media Heite, which everybody gets a
kick out of reading media Heite, but mediaite is the
most left wing slanted thing in the world. So they've

(04:38):
been started all week. Media It's been talking about how
how fatigued the president is. He can barely show up,
he can barely stay awake. Now, look at the media
Media Height headline from last night. Trump fires off over
one hundred and sixty truth social posts in frenetic late
night blitz. I thought he couldn't stay awake. I thought

(04:59):
he was dozing off. I mean sometimes I start posting
a lot. You know, one night, you have nothing to do,
you're posting, tweeting. But have you ever done one hundred
and sixty and one night from seven pm to nearly midnight,
the President reposted an endless stream of clips. Well, you
got to have a lot of energy to post one

(05:21):
hundred and sixty posts in a few hours. That's pretty
good on his part. So then remember the MRI, this
very suspicious MRI. He the President went to Walter Read
for the annual physical. You know, when you go to
Walter Reid and you're the president, you don't go to
the regular Walter Read hospital. They have a special presidential
wing just for the president. You got like four thousand

(05:44):
doctors standing there waiting to take care of you. So
when you get a physical, if the doctor wants to
really be thorough, I'll send you for a cat scan.
He'll send you for this test just to be sure.
Just to be sure. But when it's Walter reed and
you got one hundred doctors standing there with nothing to
do but wait on you, I'll send you for everything
and a cat scan a lot times. If you're older
and they want to check your heart, they'll do that

(06:06):
what do you call it? Echo cardiogram and then check
your arteries to see how your circulation is. You know
they do. You could do a cat scan, but if
you want to really be detailed, see even deeper, you
use an MRI. And that's what they did with the president. Apparently,
Well for two weeks now, the fake news is this MRI.
Why won't he release this MRI? What was in that MRI?

(06:29):
What did it show that he can't release it? Absolutely nothing?
They released it yesterday. Doctors explained that at his age,
he's seventy nine. Hey, also it's the president of United States.
You don't want to make a mistake. This could be
blockage or something that wouldn't show in the cat scan
but would show in the MRI. So they just just
to be safe, just preventative, just to be overly cautious.

(06:51):
They did an MRI. It showed absolutely nothing. They released it.
Every network has had their doctors look at it. They said,
he's fine. There's absolutely nothing in there. So again, you're
just going to be bombarded every day with fake scandals.
Now what they do is they launch a whole fake
attack on the president. They try it, they push it,
they push it, they push it. Then they democrats, poll it,

(07:13):
focus group it. If it's not working, they drop it.
You will notice that for the last week you have
never heard the name Jeffrey Epstein. You notice for a week,
you haven't heard about Jeffrey Epstein. This is all you
heard about day and night from the fake news. For
one week, they haven't mentioned them. Why is that, Well,
they focused gript that it wasn't working, it wasn't registering.

(07:35):
Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein. Nobody thought Donald Trump had
anything to do with Jeffrey Epstein. So you notice had
been no mention of it. They'll try it again, you know,
they always bring these things back and try them again.
So but they've been trying this Mark Kelly thing, This
awful guy Mark Kelly, who uh is the one that
came out. If you get an illegal order, you can

(07:57):
refuse it. We'll have your back. If you an illegal order,
there's no such thing as any illegal orders in the
Trump administration. There's never been a hint of this. Nobody's
ever even suggested there's illegal orders. But if you put
out these videos, it creates this atmosphere there's illegal orders.
It's as if it's as if you put out a
video all over the Internet saying, if you've been sexually

(08:20):
assaulted by Mark Kelly, call the police immediately. Now, there's
no hint that he's ever done such a thing. I
don't think he's ever done such a thing. Nobody suspects
he's done this. But if all of a sudden, you've
seen videos everywhere if you've been sexually assaulted by Mark Kelly,
well you'd start to think, h maybe there's something wrong
with this. So it's just a whole fake thing, and

(08:40):
the fake news is backing it up. Now, they'll do
it for another couple of days, then they'll focus group
and tested. If it's not registering, they'll get rid of it.
And this Mark Kelly, he's not a great looking guy.
He looks kind of annoying. He's not a very pleasant
looking guy. Talking him as a vice presidential candidate for

(09:02):
Kamala Harris, he was on that list, but he doesn't
look the part. And Tim Waltz is not exactly George Clooney,
but he's a happy looking guy. He's a fun looking guy.
You look at him, you kind of smile until you
get to know him. But Mark Kelly just looks like
a nasty high school principal type of a guy. He
was an astronaut and he was in the military, I

(09:25):
believe or not he was on our side, but he
was in the military, so that's good. He was in combat.
That's impressive. And astronaut, that's impressive. Although he doesn't look
like Major Nelson on Idriam Maginie. He doesn't have any
charm to him. Even John Glenn was kind of a
it was a charming nice guy. Not Mark Kelly. But

(09:46):
he loves to bring up that military experience. He goes
after the illegal orders Venezuela Pete Hegzeth. They blew up
a drug cartel boat filled with drugs and then they
fired a second shot that killed survivors who were getting
off the boat. This is Kelly's big thing.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
And you know somebody who has sunk two ships myself that.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
Folks in the military.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
That's that's like John Kerry used to do that. You know,
when all these people are on the panel debating a
military thing, what do they know. They're TV anchors, they're
talking heads. But when you can say, hey, when I
shot down a plane, when I did so, it's supposed
to impress you.

Speaker 4 (10:25):
You know, somebody who has sunk two ships?

Speaker 1 (10:27):
Myself that.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Okay, it's good. I never sunk a ship, but so
that's pretty impressive. But it's somebody who has sunk two ships.
You know, if you were in the war for all
that time, it's not You're not exactly General Patton. You're
not exactly one of the great heroes of our military
who sunk two hundred ships. I sunk two ships. It's
more that's more like kind of Michal's Navy kind of stuff.

Speaker 4 (10:55):
But okay, folks in the military need to understand, you know,
the law to see the Geneva Conventions. If there were,
in fact, as reported, you know, survivors clinging to a
damaged vessel, that that could be you know, over a line.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
I hope it's not the case.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
He hopes, he really hopes it's not the case. This
guy is praying every night it's the case. He would
do anything for it to be. Now, the problem is
they're going to keep pushing this story. But they blew up. Now,
first of all, everybody, normal people, like if there's a
drug cartel ship filled with fentanyl that it got blown up.
You ever watched Breaking Bad, the awful cartel people, those

(11:38):
disgusting people. You just wish a bomb would hit them
and kill them all, get rid of this cartel. But
that's what the president is doing, blowing up the cartel,
their ships, their drugs, the people in the cartel, just
blowing them up one by one. Remember, every time you
hit the ship, it's not just that you killed these people.
That ship probably had enough drugs on it, fentanyl, you know,

(11:59):
all that's stuff probably worth fifty sixty seventy million dollars.
You do an incredible economic damage every time you blow
up the ship. Now, when you blow up the ship,
I would assume if you got the okay to fly
over the ship, drop bombs and blow it up, it's
assumed you're killing everybody on the ship. If that's a

(12:22):
little ship and you've got these big aircraft dropping massive bombs.
You've seen the video right where they just blow the
whole thing out of the water. You can pretty much
assume you're gonna kill everybody on that ship. So I
think this is the problem they're going to have as
they try to push this story on people. Most people
like me are gonna say, well, the reason they were
there is to blow up the ship and kill everybody.

(12:43):
What's the difference if they fired a second shot. I
mean when they hit those Iran nuclear reactors, if you watch,
it wasn't one shot. They just kept bombing the for
like twenty minutes, just kept dropping bombs. You want to
make sure you got everything. So if you're there to
blow up the shop and kill everybody, I don't know,
what's the horrible thing that you fired a second shot?

(13:05):
Well you might have killed survivors. Well, they're not the
it's not the professor in Marianne that you're blowing up.
It's I mean, these are drug cartel guys. You're there
to kill them all. You're there to blow up the
ship and kill them all if you gotta fire a
second shot. All right. So they'll push this for another week,
they'll focus group a tested. If it's not working out,
they'll they'll drop it real fast. Hey, the casinos got

(13:28):
approved yesterday. There were three final casino bids, and the
casino board surprised people. They approved all three casinos. Then
when you hear casino, it sounds okay, but hey, when
you go look go online and look at the plans,
the drawings, the computer generated renderings, what they're going to

(13:49):
look like. They're quite spectacular. I mean really spectacular, like
Las Vegas quality facilities. Look at the one across from
City Field. It's pretty impressive. In fact, you know, people
are going to be looking at it. What the hell
is this? How did this get in Queens? It looks
really amazing. The one in the Bronx where the Trump

(14:11):
golf course, that looks pretty impressive. The one at Aqueduct there,
so it looks pretty good. Now here's the thing. If
you get approved to get a license, you have to
buy the license. You have to put up a fee.
So the fee for a casino license is five hundred million.
So they approved three of them. That's one point five

(14:32):
billion right there. That comes into the city one point
five billion in revenue first day. And then they go
ahead and they build these casinos, and the three casinos
will employ twenty three thousand people. That's a lot of jobs.
And one of the things is that right over the
Throgs neck Bridge and Throgs it's the golf course that

(14:54):
was a Trump golf course and now Bally's runs it.
Somewhere in the Trump contract if they get rid of
it and make it a casino, Trump organization gets one
hundred and fifteen million. So they made one hundred and
fifteen million on the deal. But it's a pretty good deal.
And then these casinos are expected to generate over a

(15:15):
billion dollars in revenue every year, and maybe more than that,
maybe a lot more. So it's a good reason to
get rid of the congestion, pricing, all that stuff. You'll notice, mom,
Donnie has not said a word about these three casinos
coming into his city. That's a good sign. That's a
good sign. You'd think a democratic socialist communist would hate
the idea of these big, splashy, flashy Steve Winn kind

(15:38):
of casinos all over the place. But he hasn't said
a word. So maybe you know, sometimes these democratic socialists
like money, and they're a little more corrupt than anybody else.
They're a little more bribable, biable. So the fact that
he's kept quiet, that's a good sign. Yeah, that's one
thing about the Blasio bad as. The guy was if

(16:00):
you threw a lot of money around, he respected that.
You know, the business guys threw a lot of money
all over the place in his direction and he enjoyed
that and kept quiet about a lot of things. So
a good sign with Mom, Donnie, and we've got a
lot to get to. We'll take some calls next. Eight
hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number
eight hundred three two one zero seven ten set up,

(16:22):
re said on the iHeartRadio app to do wor to
hear Mark Live?

Speaker 2 (16:26):
Set another for Mark's podcast to hear him anytime?

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Now back to Mark.

Speaker 1 (16:32):
Simone on wor.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Walter
in Forest Hills. Walter, how you doing.

Speaker 5 (16:41):
Hi, Good morning, Mark, first time caller here.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
Well good, We like I like new callers, first time callers.
He sound like a great guy, Walter, Thank you.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
I didn't want to comment about the casinos. It seems like,
you know, the Casino Commission, they just sort of rubber
stamped the three remaining proposals in the issue. Really, it
seems like with the proposal with the three is they're
all so close to each other. You know, you could
get in your car and just try fifteen minutes one
to the other.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
Well wait a minute, you try to get from one
of those the other in the middle of the day.
They try to go down in Austin Street and Forest
Hills in fifteen minutes.

Speaker 6 (17:19):
You can't.

Speaker 3 (17:19):
Are you kidding? There's going to be a massive gridlock everywhere.
Do you gotts got throgs neck Bridge? Do you ever
try to get across that in the middle of the day.

Speaker 5 (17:27):
I'll give you that at most a half hour, right,
But I wonder if one of them will pull out
because they don't see it as a financially.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Billions have already been
spent on lobbying fees money. They're not pulling out. Hey,
but the one in a city field. What a city
field that's flushing, right, Yes, yeah, So that's going to
be a that's going to cause a traffic nightmare, there
isn't it. I mean that's a pretty crowded.

Speaker 5 (17:57):
Yeah, And you know, I go to the occasional game
and that's the one thing I'm going to mess is
that outdoor parking lot because that's where the casino is
going to be built, and it's when you go to
a met game. It's actually pretty great compared to Yankee
Stadium because in and out you park outside in an
open lot. Yeah, it's easy to leave the game, no hassle.

(18:17):
Now they're going to put in these big parking garages.
It'll take you half hour an hour to leave a game,
you know.

Speaker 3 (18:23):
So that's a good point. Very good. Hey Walter, you
did good. You did very well for your first call.

Speaker 5 (18:28):
Thank you, excellent.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Take care Now he's absolutely right. One of the great
attractions of the city field a big open parking lot. You
drive into the parking lot, park your car, get out
and walk over to the stadium. That's perfect Yankee Stadium.
You gotta go in a garage. You got to first
of all the prompt these garages, it's like shopping malls.
If you go to Long Island, the great shopping centers, Americana,

(18:53):
Walt Whitman, big parking lots. You drive in, you get
out of your car, y'all, walk right into the store.
Perfect Westchester Mall, that so known mall in Norwalk. Pain
in the neck. You got to pull into a garage.
You got to pay the part and that's it's not
even just the money, it's trying to get out of there.
You know, if it's an open parking lot, you jump

(19:14):
in your car and you take off. If it's in
the mall, in the indoor garage, you gotta wait in
line to get out. You got a long line. Everybody's
got to try to stick the ticket in that slot,
and it's a pain in the neck. So City Field,
you are going to lose a few people because of that.
No longer outdoor parking. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,

(19:34):
how you doing.

Speaker 6 (19:36):
Good morning, Mark.

Speaker 7 (19:37):
I'm doing very well.

Speaker 8 (19:38):
Thank you, Mark.

Speaker 7 (19:39):
My entry includes First Lady Milania Trump and President Trump himself.

Speaker 8 (19:46):
I read an.

Speaker 7 (19:47):
Article yesterday in a Variety that says that she's launched
a production company called News Films, and it says the
Secret Service used uses her code name during the first time.

Speaker 5 (20:01):
I'm not sure.

Speaker 7 (20:02):
I know there's a documentary connected with that. I'm not
sure if this is something similar to where the Obamas
were using Netflix.

Speaker 3 (20:10):
Yeah, the Obamas more, they've been cashing in like like
like crazy. You're reading Variety, what are you? Georgie Jessel.
Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent. How you doing.

Speaker 9 (20:22):
Good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay, Uh Mark?

Speaker 4 (20:25):
Uh?

Speaker 9 (20:26):
What the coast Guard and the Navy blowing up these
drug boats. You could actually go on YouTube and about
a week after the Navy blows up, does blows up
one of the drug boats. Is like that, you could
go on YouTube. The Navy actually publishes. And recently I

(20:47):
was watching them take out one of these drug boats.
And the first thing and I noticed, because I've been
stopped on the yachts at seeing everything, the first thing,
all these drug boats don't have to never gation lights.
The boats don't have registration on the front, on the
bow of the boat on east side. You have to

(21:08):
have your registration numbers. I've been on yachts where our
boats where the coast Guard will call you off on
Channel sixteen that's the universal hailing channel. They'll say, we're
gonna come and we want to board your boat. Have
your lights, have your registration and everything. And I've been
on boats where they'll pull up to you, they'll tie

(21:30):
up and one of the members will get on board,
and you got to show them your registration for the
boat and everything, and you gotta they'll look over to
see that, you have your registration, your nap lights. Everything
jives now if you go on YouTube and you watch
them taking out these boats, all of these boats are

(21:50):
not registered. Right there, it's no, no, it's no no.
Right there. Here's another thing. Mark Jessica Tish based on
the arguments she had with I sover the weekend, she
should not take this job. Please follow wild.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Yeah, well we'll get the jessicattition the star Vincent.

Speaker 9 (22:10):
I kids already see it.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
I still can't picture you in a yachting cap like
a Thurst and hel the third hat.

Speaker 1 (22:16):
Oh may, now we got to why do the news?

Speaker 3 (22:19):
But Vincent excellent call is always thanks for calling. When
we come back. Bill O'Reilly will be with us next
on seven to ten wor.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Mark Simon Show ONR Well with us right now.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
One of America's greatest anchors, the number one anchor on
television for decades, the number one best selling non fiction
author on Earth. You should get his latest book, Confronting Evil.
Quite an amazing book, already a number one best seller.
Confronting Evil. Watch Bill O'Reilly's TV show. The column Everything
is at Bill O'Reilly dot com and make sure you

(22:53):
check out his YouTube channel. Too very good stuff there, Bill, O'Reilly?

Speaker 8 (22:57):
How you doing on hanging job there?

Speaker 3 (23:01):
I'm good, I'm good.

Speaker 9 (23:02):
Hey.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
This Trump the arrangement syndrome. They go after him day
and night. If they just it's an obsession. But does
he make the same mistake by that? We love him?
But the too muchness of Donald Trump, too many tweets,
too many things. Should he just get quiet at times
and let it die down a little?

Speaker 8 (23:21):
Well, you're gonna see in twenty twenty six. You think
it's bad, now, it's gonna be ten times worse. And
I mean that literally, because this is the last shot
that the anti Trump people have the taking him down.
So here's what's at stake. If Donald Trump and the

(23:43):
Republicans hold the House and the Senate, Trump's power in
the last two years will be five times as much
it is now. It'll be unfettered, unvarnished Trump. If he
loses one of the houses, then he's a lame duck.

(24:05):
So the attempts to destroy him are going to be
NonStop hysterical, and it's very organized. The Democratic Party allied
with the leftist media, and so you've seen two already.
Epstein and the Boat game blown up, and this is
going to be every week is going to be a

(24:25):
new one. Now I'm not sure whether the Trump administration
is prepared for that. And your point about him taking
it all on himself and just every second is another tweet,
is another attack by Trump or that that does wear
on people, There's no doubt about it. So there was

(24:48):
a glimmer of hope with Caroline Lovett exposing the New
York Times because they wrote an article which is totally bogus.
And I know that because I deal with the White
House all the time about trumping old and you know,
not doing what he did the first term. That he's
doing much more now than he did his first term,
and that's the fact. And the New York Times this

(25:10):
article that said no, no, he's too old, and then
Levitt tried it out an article by the same reporter
who said, hey, Bible was great, nothing wrong with him, terrific.
So that was very effective. And that's what they're going
to have to do. It's gonna have to be like
a swat team to articipate every week a new scandal.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
Yeah, when you say it's going to get worse, how
could it get worse? Every day? They make up, and
he can how much more could they make up? How much?

Speaker 8 (25:40):
It's brutal, unlimited, unlimited, it all. It takes his imagination,
that's all it takes. It's unlimited, and every week it'll
be something else. This one did dad? Hags said, did this?
Cash maultell? Did Dad?

Speaker 5 (25:58):
You know?

Speaker 8 (25:59):
And Trump is this? Or Trump is that? And he
said this and it's all out of control. Now I
could back farm, but it's gonna be ucumbent upon the
Trump people themselves to a recognize what I'm telling you
today because it will happen. I guarantee it. You have

(26:21):
the tape now and will r me saying this? Okay?
And you got to have a rapid response team they
say okay, like Ronald Reagan, Here they go again, here
they go. That'll get through if there's nothing at the
core of the accusation, like just both thinking Venezuela's ridiculous.

(26:45):
It's absurd because number one, there's an executive order in place,
and the executive order is deemed drug cartels a terrorists.
So who is the guy that wiped out ices.

Speaker 3 (26:59):
With the rec two?

Speaker 8 (27:00):
Trump was one? Who was the other guy who wiped
out isis some mom, Barack Obama.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
I didn't want to say it.

Speaker 8 (27:09):
But so Barack Obama signs an executive order after he
screwed up the Iraq thing and took all the US
forces out of there, and then ISIS came in and
ran half the country western part of Iraq, and Obama
recognized that people being slaughtered by the thousands, signed the
executive order that basically a US military authority killed everybody

(27:31):
in ISIS, including bag Daddy's eight year old son. So
you remember I wrote a book called Killing the Killers.
Now there wasn't any angst by the Democratic Party about that?

Speaker 9 (27:43):
Was it?

Speaker 8 (27:43):
Did you hear any angst about it?

Speaker 3 (27:45):
Okay?

Speaker 8 (27:47):
They literally US special forces wiped out anybody that had
any association with ISIS, including women and children. Didn't blue
them the hall. And now we got guys on a
boat and the Democratic boy, Oh no, no, are the

(28:08):
rules of engadgment? Wow? Whoa wait a minute, you see
it's so absurd, it's illegally. The Trump administrations are right
to blow anybody out of the water that they deem
part of a parent terrorist group. They should explain a
little more vividly to the American public why they're doing
what they're doing. And I've said that from the very beginning,

(28:29):
but there's no legality there. And then did Haig seth
order it or did the admiral order it? Or okay,
I don't know. Have the Senate dragged the admiral in?
Admiral Bradley what happened? Admiral tells us what happened? That hard?
But no, the hour after hour after hour on CNN
and NBC and on and on and on and on

(28:51):
and on, and this is where we are in America today.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
Hey, but these Democrats have this fantasy about these hearings
that they're going to be tom cruise. Do you order
that code read that Jack Nicholson is going to blow up?
That that's not going to happen, is it?

Speaker 4 (29:06):
No?

Speaker 8 (29:07):
I mean Trump didn't know. He issues the executive order,
he doesn't issue battlefield commands. And you know these Democrats,
the two guys that got waxed that weren't killed in
the first explosion on the boat, I guess they were
just tanning tanning on the boat. Yeah, I mean it's like, okay,

(29:30):
so now the Democratic Party is sticking up for the
drug smugglers and that helps Trump to some extent, but
it is so insane. The country has just lost its mind.
And it's because of Donald Trump. And he has made
people literally crazy on both sides. Because some of the

(29:52):
supports I got. I got a letter today off the
New Spin News. My TV broadcaster guy says, hey, we
don't need any trials. Just said, you know, we don't.
We don't need anything. Everybody's guilty. He doesn't like Donald Trump,
you don't like them, you're guilty of sedition. We throw
you in jail. I mean, okay, I guess this guy's

(30:12):
grandfather was in the Third Reich. I don't know, but
you know he Trump literally makes people nuts.

Speaker 3 (30:21):
Yeah, hey, but the media going after him day and night. If,
as you say, they go, just kick up the quantity
and pick up the pace in twenty twenty six, isn't
gonna be so over the top so much that little
backfire and nobody will take them seriously.

Speaker 8 (30:37):
Ever again, No, the Trump haters will take them seriously.
And that bleeds down to the people who don't have information.
You got fifty percent of the American people don't know anything.
They don't know anything. Go to the mall and sit
there and do a little Q and A like Hey,
who's the vice president?

Speaker 6 (30:56):
They don't know.

Speaker 8 (30:58):
They don't know well, and they don't get but they
hear stuff, you know. It's like, oh yeah, yeah, And
you know when it's going to be a close vote
in the midterms. Unless their food prices come tumbling down,
that'll really help President Trump. It'll be close. And these people,
some of them show up to vote. They don't know anything.

(31:20):
It's like the people vote for Mandannie. You think they
knew about Mandannie. Do you think they know what socialism is? No,
they don't know. And Donnie is going to give us
a free bus ride. I'm voting for im. Okay, all right,
I have another story, though, I know we're up against
the clock. This is a very interesting story. So Apartment

(31:40):
of Homeland Security issued its second letter to Attorney General
Letitia James handover seven thousand convicted criminal migrants who are
in New York State prisons. Right, yeah, they know James
is not going to do that. James, by refusing the

(32:03):
order from the federal government, puts herself at criminal risk.
This is a set up.

Speaker 3 (32:13):
This is a very good story. I like this very good.

Speaker 8 (32:16):
Yep, that's why this is happening. And you'll hear it
nowhere else than O'Reilly.

Speaker 3 (32:23):
Okay, all right, well check out check out the Bill
O'Reilly TV show, the column, everything. Go to Bill O'Reilly
dot com. You can see everything there Bill O'Reilly dot com.
Make sure you watch his YouTube channel and get his
latest book, Confronting Evil. It's an amazing book, number one bestseller,
Confronting Evil. And remember just go to Bill O'Reilly dot com.

(32:44):
Bill O'Reilly, thanks for being with.

Speaker 8 (32:46):
Us, Thanks for having me. Mark appreciate it.

Speaker 3 (32:48):
Take care, Hey, don't forget coming up at noon, Buck Sexton, Klay, Travis,
a lot of stuff they'll be talking about today, and
then the most listened to radio show in America Sean
Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six, and you'll love
the new Jimmy Fayler Show every night at nine on
seven ten, WR.

Speaker 2 (33:08):
Marks some Moni's back on seventenr Well, new indictments, Latitia James,
James call me not an appeal, New indictments.

Speaker 3 (33:19):
We'll get to that and more lots to talk about
in the next hour. Right here, don't go away seven
to ten. W You're ahead of the game just for
being here.

Speaker 1 (33:30):
He marks amone on seven ten wr.

Speaker 3 (33:36):
Well, not too bad here. It's a little light rain
right now around the Tri State area. Some places getting
snow and all that first storm of winter. Now, let
me just point out these long range forecasts. You know,
it says what kind of winter we're gonna have. It's
gonna be the coldest winter ever, it's gonna be the
snowiest winter ever. It's gonna be you see that every year.
Don't take those seriously. They mean absolutely nothing. Farmers Almanac,

(33:59):
their predictions and wrong ninety percent of the times. Now,
don't even take any real serious weather forecast or meteorologists
will tell you you can't do the seasonal forecasts. It's
absolutely impossible if there's no logical way of forecast an
entire season. You know, for instance, they forecast that this

(34:21):
would be one of the worst hurricane seasons ever. It
turned out to be the lightest hurricane season ever. So
season forecasts, don't take it seriously. Let's see Bill O'Reilly
was talking about this. This is very important. Let's get
back to this. Bill O'Reilly pointing out that there's a
big problem coming for Comy and coming for Leticia James.

(34:43):
Now they got the charges against Komy and Letitia James.
They both got their charges dismissed by a left wing
judge who did not rule on the charges. They found
no problem with the charges. What they found was that
the US attorney was improperly appointed or something an US
attorney and she'd been there past the deadline. So on

(35:05):
the technicality of the appointment of the US attorney, that's
how it got tossed out. Now, they can appeal that
and probably win that, but what we're hearing is they're
not going to appeal it. They're going to just simply
file all new charges now. But Bill O'Reilly was talking
about there's a big trap being laid for Letitia James. Currently,

(35:27):
there are seven thousand illegal aliens who are out and
out criminals, I mean really bad criminals accused of murder,
of actually we're up more than accused of actually committed
crimes like murder, rape, child pornography, armed robbery. It's a
terrible list. I mean, there's a dangerous, dangerous, convicted criminals

(35:49):
and they're illegal. There's seven thousand of them. They're locked
up in New York. But the problem is they all
get led out. They get led out all the time.
But Ice wants to come in and arrest these seven
thousand illegals. They're totally illegal migrants. They're here illegally, and
they've been convicted of very very serious crimes. But here

(36:10):
in New York you got crazy Alvin Bragg the district attorney,
who doesn't put him in prison. And then because of
the awful job Andrew Cuomo did as governor, he did
horrible things. One of the things he did was he
changed up the parole board. The governor appoints people to
the parole board, so he started appointing real left wing
coops filled the parole board, left wing cooks. They let

(36:32):
everybody out of prison. They've let out forty three cop killers,
and they're letting out these illegals like crazy. These are dangerous,
dangerous criminals who are here illegally, and they're letting them
out into the streets. So here's the deal with Letitia James.
Ice has sent Letitia James a letter demanding that she

(36:53):
turnover all seven thousand illegal aliens to them. Some of
them are in prison. It'd be very easy to go
to the pre and take them and deport them. Ice
wants to deport these seven thousand illegals and get them
out of the country. It's up to Letitia James to
hand them over. She's received the letter from the Department
of Homeland Security. So, as Bill O'Reilly pointed out, if

(37:16):
she refuses to do this, she may be in criminal jeopardy.
They may be able to charge her criminally for that
and come after her. Now her defense will be that
her hands are tied by New York's sanctuary laws. Believe
it or not, New York has these crazy sanctuary laws

(37:37):
that you're not allowed to do this, even if it's
a dangerous criminal rape, child pornography, murder, got convicted in jail,
You're not allowed to deport them. You're not allowed to
cooperate with ice. That's this crazy New York sanctuary law.
Now you're saying, who would sign such a ridiculous, crazy law.

(37:57):
Let me see, Oh, here it is Andrew almost sign
that law. Another horrible thing Andrew Cuomo did to New York.
Nobody did more damage to New York state. No governor
ever did more damage than Andrew Cuomo with his no bail,
no jail, with his close the prisons, let the prisoners out,
redo the parole board, and now with this crazy sanctuary

(38:21):
law seven thousand, dangerous murdering, killing illegals that cannot be
deported because of the sanctuary law, because you're not allowed
to cooperate with thanks to Andrew Cuomo, who's making noise
about running again. So horrible, horrible situation, but it could
put Letitia James in legal jeopardy once again. Also, they

(38:43):
can just go back and charge her again for the
mortgage fraud. The documents are pretty clear on that, so
I don't see how she avoids It's now the only
thing COMI has gone for him is there is a
statute of limitations. They might be might be passed it.
Mom Donnie getting ready to take over the transition team.

(39:04):
Mom Donnie's been very busy lately with important matters, protesting
with the Starbucks baristas. And I said, the only good
thing about Mom Donnie, Deblasia was bad. You know, a
left wing kook, socialist, Mom Donnie, I mean Deblasio too
left wing, socialist kook. But the good news is he
never came to work. He was more interested in going

(39:25):
to Brooklyn every day. Remember that he'd sit in that
coffee shop all day and then he'd go to the
gym Chopi City Hall for an hour, go to sleep,
take a nap, go home mom. Donnie seems to keep
himself busy with nonsense. You know, you're about to take
over in New York City, you'd think you'd be in
meetings around the clock trying to figure out, especially if

(39:45):
you're brand new. If you've been in government before, it's
a little easier. But if you've never been in government
running a city or a state, and you've never had
an actual job, you'd think you'd be studying day and
night for what you're about to do. He's busy with
other little silly things. He's out there marching for oppressed

(40:05):
workers where you say, well, the cotton fields, picking fruit,
somewhere in a sweatshop. No Starbucks baristas. He's out protesting
with the Starbucks baristas. He's fighting for them. Apparently this
barista stuff is pretty serious. I don't know what the

(40:27):
issue is, but they're only getting like thirty dollars an hour.
They want thirty five. And then some of them say
it's the scheduling. When they are Starbucks barista, here's one
of them.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
They do tend to just positively schedule you right now.

Speaker 8 (40:42):
We want to fight for fair consistency and obviously a
living working schedule and wage.

Speaker 3 (40:47):
Yeah, that's at they're haphazardly scheduling the baristas. Now, are
you going to Starbucks? You see these baristas. Mostly you
can't stand them because they take forever and they can
never wait on you. They could be six people behind
the counter, but two of them are on the phone,
one of them's changing filters on the machine, another one's
busy haul in a box. Or they can't think the way.

(41:08):
So nobody has any sympathy for these baristas and the
haphazard scheduling. Well, it doesn't sound like the cruelest thing
I have ever heard, But mom, Donnie is out there
protesting with him. Here he is.

Speaker 10 (41:20):
The struggle those workers have is that not enough people
know about their fight, not enough people know what they
are being forced to accept. So the more that you
can bring that awareness, the more that you can bring
that attention, the easier it is for workers to demand
the bare minimum. And that is what I will continue
to do as the next mayor of the city.

Speaker 3 (41:36):
He is fighting for those baristas. How do you like that? Now?
First of all, this guy's a socialist, This guy's worried
about affordability. You're in a place where they charge fourteen
dollars for a cup of coffee. You should be mad
at all of them, these baristas. You want affordability, get
rid of Starbucks. First of all, don't go to Starbucks anywhere.
Duncan Downut's much better coffee. Also, I know they don't

(41:59):
have a foam pumpkin termasious flavored lot. Okay, but they
got better coffee. Just get a regular cup of coffee
and go to work. And then you got all these
local ones. Now there's like a hundred of these. You know,
there's another chain called Gregory's. Gregory's it's a guy from Granwich, Connecticut.
He started it there and now they're opening all over
the place, much better than Starbucks. And what's that one

(42:21):
over there, Blue Pointers whatever it's called. Turn across the street.
There's a bunch of those Blank Street. There's a whole
much better. Stay the hell out of Starbucks. And if
you're a socialist, what are you having anything to do
with a place that charges twenty seven dollars for coffee? So,
but mom, Donnie's fighting for them.

Speaker 10 (42:39):
These are not demands of greed, These are demands for decency.

Speaker 3 (42:44):
I don't know if it's forty dollars for a cup
of coffee. Who's robbing?

Speaker 6 (42:47):
Who?

Speaker 8 (42:47):
There?

Speaker 3 (42:48):
Do you hear about this clothing store and soho that
got robbed. It's not a regular clothing store. It's a
special second hand clothing store. It's not It doesn't even
have a storefront. It's up on the second floor of
an office building. And people like Kim Kardashian and Paris
Hilton and all these rappers go there because they have
the most one of a kind pieces in the world.

(43:09):
A lot of them are vintage, but not regular vintage.
They were worn by some celebrity. So they have these
very special blue jeans that are very special, different, unique,
with the stuff all over them in stones. And so
the guy was showing this pair of blue jeans is
worth fifty thousand. This pair of blue jeans is seventy
five thousand. I'm not kidding. So it got robbed last night.

(43:34):
Thieves broke in and you can see the surveillance video.
They I guess there was a fire escape or something.
They got up the fire escape and they broke through
the second story window with big, hefty trash bags and
they just kept throwing all the clothes in these trash bags.
Then they go to the window and throw the bags
down to the street where a guy would pick them up,
throw them in the van that they had waiting, and

(43:54):
eventually they got like ten trash bags full of clothes
and drove off. But it was worth two million dollars.
So the owners on TV talking about he got robbed
and what a robbery, And but then he's showing the stuff.
He has seventy five thousand for a pair of jeans.
This guy should be arrested for robbery. Who the hell's
robbin Who's seventy five thousand for a pair of jeans.

(44:16):
But that's so, that's what goes on. And Mom, Donnie,
he hasn't said a word about the casinos. That's a
good sign, though, that means they've probably gotten to him.
You know, one thing about these big, big, big business guys,
these big real estate guys, they whine and complain, but
they know how to get to a new mayor really

(44:37):
really fast, and they're pretty good at that. So you
never know, the same thing happened to Blaso. He was
it was bad, but we got through it just fine.
You'll probably get through mom, Donnie just fine. Hey, So
we were talking about Mark Kelly and the sinking the
drug cartel boats Venezuela. Now they're going to hold hearing

(45:00):
in Congress and go after this. Mark Kelly thinks he'll
be like Tom Cruise in these hearings, and that you know,
the general who did the bombing of these boats is
going to be like Jack Nicholson. And Democrats feel like
there'll be Tom Cruise going did you order the code read?
And that the guy will just blow up and go

(45:20):
You're damn right I did. It's not gonna happen. Nothing
dramatic is going to happen. President Trump, on all this.

Speaker 1 (45:26):
We consider of Venezuela to be not a very friendly country.

Speaker 11 (45:28):
They send millions of people, really, and probably a number
in excess of that, and a lot of those people
shouldn't be in our country, from jails, from gangs, from
drug dealers, from all of the people that came into
our country shouldn't have been in our country, causing a
lot of problem.

Speaker 1 (45:46):
Did your warning mean that an airstrike is eminent or
should we not.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Read it that way?

Speaker 1 (45:50):
Don't read anything into it.

Speaker 3 (45:52):
Yeah, Now, the reason for this, you gotta remember if
you were going to go after the drug cartel cartels.
He would do it at the border. You would try
to get them coming across the border. Well, the border's
closed now, it's been closed all year. There's no coming
across the border. So they've switched to the sea. They're
doing it by boat. So that's why you got to
go after him. Here. The border's gone. They've eliminated that.

(46:15):
So now they're going after the drug cartels exactly the
same as everybody else did, only now they're using the sea,
and that's where you got to go after them. So
it'll continue, and it's a good thing. Democrats will go
nuts defending these cartel dealers, which will eventually backfire on them.
Of course, Hey, Matt Lower looking to make a comeback.

(46:35):
Apparently Matt Lower has been talking to people he wants
back in. He's like Richie A Priol, you know, when
he got out of jail in tone, I want back in,
I want to get back my I want to get
my action back on my sha. So but the problem
is Matt Lower total outcast. And you know, he was

(46:56):
never that great. It's not like he had a lot
to say. I mean, nice looking guy, he had a
nice charming way about him. A good looking guy, although
now he's older, and although I saw him recently, looks good.
He looks good, always wears a great suit. But I
think they're way past Matt Lauer Today's show wise. First
of all, they don't pay that kind of money anymore.

(47:18):
Very few people watch network TV anymore. And it's a
whole new generation, you know. Now it's Jenna hager Bush
whatever the Heller name is. But he wants back in,
and he kind of in what he was saying, sort
of hinted he knows maybe he'll never get back on
network television. Maybe he's just damaged goods and he can't
get back on. So he said, I'd like to get

(47:39):
back on the media, get to the media in some
he said, if not TV, in some capacity. So that's
him acknowledging he might not be able to get a
TV job. I don't know, has enough time passed, you know,
like Lewis c K seems to be okay again, Kevin
Spacey seems to be okay again. You can start putting
these guys back.

Speaker 12 (48:02):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (48:03):
And if it's not, if not TV, what does that mean?
Does that mean he'll end up like those idiots Jim Acosta,
Don Lemon doing a podcast from at home from their
living room with the glasses on, doing the podcast from home,
split screen zoom podcast. I don't know.

Speaker 4 (48:24):
Now.

Speaker 3 (48:24):
The problem is a lot of these people do these podcasts.
They got nothing to say. You know, if you just
said to Sean Hannity, all the guests canceled. It's on
the TV show. If you said to Sean Hannity, there's
no guests, they all canceled. You'll have to talk for
a half hour. Well, he could do that without blinking.
He could entertain you for a half hour, telling stories,
talk and going over the news. He does it on
the radio for three hours, no problem. He could fill

(48:47):
in a half hour without blinking. It would be interesting, funny.
But if you're Don Lemon or you're Matt Love, you've
never had a talk in your life. You've never done
a show. All you do is read a teleprompter or
interview people as a reporter. So that's all it's when
they do these podcasts, they have to have a guest.
Every second, there has to be a guest. You never

(49:07):
see him just alone talking in the camera for a
half hour because they would have no clue how to
do it. I think Matt Lower has the same problem.
So he'd have to do guests because I mean, he
could talk for thirty seconds, but that's about it and
then you'd fall asleep. But he'd have to have guests.
So who's going to do the Matt Lower podcast? Well,
you know who. The first episode will be Al Roker

(49:27):
will be the first guest. Second guest will be Katie Couric.
Who else would do it with Matt Lawer, I don't know, Oh,
Brian Gumbel. He'll get Brian gumble there's friends. Anyway, we'll
take some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three to
two one zero seven ten is the number eight hundred
three to two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 2 (49:48):
If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
time and tap the preset button.

Speaker 5 (49:52):
Now.

Speaker 1 (49:53):
Now back to the Mark Simone show on WOOR.

Speaker 3 (49:57):
Did you know there were a casino protest? You know, hey,
this casino is bringing a lot of money casino protesters. No,
I don't know. Joe Peshi, Robert de Niro might come
out and see you there. I wouldn't protest the casino
too much. Anyway, Let's go to Wendy in Long Island. Wendy,
how you doing?

Speaker 13 (50:19):
Oh yeah, hey there, good morning. I don't really know.
I don't know. All this fuss is about the Starbucks employees.
Do you see the benefits of these people get college, health, fertility?

Speaker 3 (50:31):
Yeah, the only thing the thing through the years, I
don't know about now, but Starbucks just lied to me
a number of times through the years. You know, they'll
tell you every employee has stock, and every employee has this.
Every then you go ask the employees. They don't have
any of that. So you got to be careful.

Speaker 13 (50:46):
That's something to strike about.

Speaker 3 (50:48):
But you don't what is all that noise in that
What is all that noise in the background?

Speaker 8 (50:53):
Uh?

Speaker 13 (50:53):
Well, I got my head stinted on.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Where are you? Are you at home?

Speaker 13 (50:57):
Well, no, I'm still a working person. Oh okay, all right,
they have my undivided attention.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
Oh there, where are you in Long Island?

Speaker 13 (51:08):
So we're out here in Brentwood and sunny Brentwood and
it's a nice day in the neighborhood.

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Oh okay, Well, thanks for calling. It's raining here and
let's go to Michael on the east side. Michael, how
you doing? Hey?

Speaker 8 (51:21):
Mark?

Speaker 14 (51:21):
You my mourning vitamins. I was reading about the casino awards. Yes,
I read always sound.

Speaker 3 (51:31):
Like one of those guys at the slot machine with
a couple of quarters.

Speaker 14 (51:35):
No oak, twenty dollars, twenty dollars back correct table, but
many the events. I read all the way down at
the end of the article it said either each casino
has to give five hundred million or five hundred thousand.

Speaker 6 (51:55):
I couldn't five.

Speaker 3 (51:57):
Hundred million both, believe it or not. They've been approved
to get a casino license. Now you got to buy
the license, whether it's a fee, you pay a fee
to get your license. The fees five hundred million. So
three casinos. That's one point five billion in revenue right away.
And then that's not to mention twenty three thousand jobs
will be created and billions of dollars supposedly in revenue

(52:19):
coming in every year. Let's go to Daniel in Long Island. Daniel,
how you doing.

Speaker 12 (52:24):
Good morning Mark, Mark. I have a comment about the
second bombing of the boats. Yes, you know, just every
time I hear the headline, I just can't help think
that we had I think we had captured and then
released some terrorists in the Middle East and they came
back later with a real ax to grind and did
some real damage. I mean, you know you're going to

(52:46):
bomb the boat, bomb the boat exactly.

Speaker 3 (52:48):
You see, That's what I was saying, Good call, Daniel, Yeah, yeah,
I see. I think for most people they don't understand
the issue. What is the democratic thinking here? One bomb
blowing up the boat, that's okay. Two that's being pushy.
That's a little pushy. So I would assume when these
planes fly over the boat, they are there to blow

(53:10):
the whole thing up. Just blow at the smithereens, just
blow it out of the water and that's it. So
if that's your mission, why would you object to the
second bomb? Uh? You know it's like if a guy,
God forbid takes out a gun and shoots somebody. That's
like the police saying, well, all right, you shot him once,

(53:32):
but you didn't have to shoot him twice. That's that
second bullet. We're resting here for the second bullet. Let's
go to Aerin in Indianapolis. Erin, how you doing good?

Speaker 8 (53:41):
Boarding? Mark?

Speaker 12 (53:42):
I have a griefe about these Narco boats. Yes you
have it yet had a boat with Greta Thunberg.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
All right, I don't know. I guess it's supposed to
be some sort of joke. Maybe in Indianapolis, I got
some big left. Let me ask you a better question.
You're in Indiana. Is it snowing there?

Speaker 8 (53:59):
Yes, it is.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
It's very cold, and you got a lot of snow
on the ground.

Speaker 12 (54:04):
Not that much, maybe two or three inches right around there.

Speaker 3 (54:06):
Oh okay, thanks for calling. Makes me feel better. Two
or three inches on the go. Got nothing here. It's
a little torisling, a little See. That's the thing when
you get you live there, two or three inches is nothing.
You feel that it's nothing. If this were Manhattan, two
or three inches, everything would close for two days.

Speaker 8 (54:25):
Oh.

Speaker 3 (54:25):
When we come back, Ed Rollins will be with us.
The Dean himself will not to talk about We'll get
to twenty twenty six, the elections. We'll get to why
all these crazy left wing Democrats are taken over. It's
not just mom, Donnie, it's happening all over the place.
We'll get to that and more. Just ahead on seven
to ten w R. You're listening to a well, let's

(54:51):
talk to the Dean himself, the greatest campaign manager and
the best analyst of all. Ed Rollins how you doing.

Speaker 6 (55:00):
I'm doing well, thank you to Thanksgiving and had an
wonderful day.

Speaker 3 (55:03):
I'll lead it too, Yeah, definitely. Hey, we're talking with
this before twenty twenty six summer saying could be the
most important election ever for Democrats. It's the final last
chance to stop Donald Trump. If he gets both houses
again and has complete control of Congress, it's smooth sailing.
They've got to take Congress back to stop them and

(55:24):
teach them whatever they want to do. What do you think, well,
I think.

Speaker 6 (55:27):
That's their goal obviously. And the reality is the numbers
aren't very good for nobody in the political business today.
The Congress numbers are terrible. But the reality is Republicans
are running in the whole show, so they've got a
somehow breakthrough here what happens? And then having run the
congressional races as a chairman of the Congressional com medical

(55:48):
chairman and having gone to a mid term election when
I was white, i was political director, these are straining
elections and they start now. We don't have a year
to get ready. They have a couple of months to
get ready. And what occurs as members start doing their
own polls and the vast majority of members of the
most important thing it's getting re elected. They don't care

(56:09):
about anybody else. They care about the president to a
certain extent Republicans, but at the end of the day,
if they start doing badly, they're going to do everything
they can to get themselves reelected, which may not be
what the president wants. So we've got a lot of chaos.
The budget bills aren't going to get through. They be
very clear that Dune yesterday said he's gonna trouble. We're
gonna have trouble get the budget bills through. They made

(56:31):
a promise on the healthcare and publicans. Problem for years
of healthcare is we don't have an alternative UH to Obamacare,
and so we've got some real fights a end of us.
And I just would urge the president to stay consistent
on a few subjects here and not be traveling all
over the world and not get us an war and
in other parts of the world. Yeah, start wars. We won't.

(56:53):
We don't have wars.

Speaker 3 (56:55):
But you're the expert, and you know we don't have
much time. But when you say we don't much time,
it's a year from now. Can't anything that everything change
by then?

Speaker 6 (57:05):
So it won't change. The reality is, you know, the
economy may get a little stronger. Hopefully if that does that,
it can turn it around. But everything is kind of
in play now. And the budget the next big battles
here are the budget battles, and we control that process.
So we've got to make sure whatever it takes to
get get them through. And the country sees the Congress working.

(57:27):
The Congress don't see the Congress working, particularly the House,
getting things done. The reality is a load against the
majority that's there. We've got a big election today in
Tennessee Tennessee seven.

Speaker 8 (57:40):
Yeah, this is where the.

Speaker 6 (57:42):
President carried by twenty six points. Shouldn't even be competitive race.
But it's dead it even according to the pools that
I've seen. So we lose this. It's sort of the
process keeps feeding itself, and what happens they eat themselves.
They basically say, Okay, here's our here's our plan for
the years to do. We're going to do ten things,
five things, whatever the number is, and then you stick

(58:04):
with it. Unfortunately, the numbers are so small both the
sun in the House that a defection of five six
seats anywhere changes the dynement dramatically.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Yeah, can you explain to us this crazy phenomenon of
these new Democratic candidates? They're all kooks, you know, like
Mom Donnie. Well, this woman in Tennessee, she doesn't like
country music and she's at her districts in Nashville. I mean,
how did the Democrat ends up with these kookie people?

Speaker 6 (58:31):
Well, I've seen her on TV. I don't know her
at all, but she's she's pretty pretty charismatic, and I
think that's part of it is they say what they
say what they want, they say what they think they want,
and it's pretty much running against Republicans, running against Trump
as much as promoting themselves. Obviously Mom Dabi was different,
but Mom Dabi didn't run on his own record Roundabi

(58:51):
and we didn't do a very good job with laying
out what he really is. He really is a socialist, communist,
whatever term you want to use. It's not well, how
of the vast majority of New York is or how
the vast majority of people in the country are.

Speaker 3 (59:04):
Yeah, but Mon done the same thing on paper, the
worst candidate in the world. But you're right, he's charismatic
on TV and online social and media and.

Speaker 6 (59:13):
The way things are now, you know, everybody has their
own independent way of getting their news. They don't watch
television like they used to. They don't watch the news shows.
And you know the reality years that people go on
and they're charismatic and they say, oh, no, I'm just
against Trump. Trump's doing all these bad things. I'm going
to change that. And whether he is or is and
is not always relevant. It's the perception and the perception

(59:34):
right now, there's too many fights going on. You can't
be fighting with Navy seals, you can't be fighting with astronauts.
Get the job done, and the president needs to focus
on that, and the White House needs to focus on that.

Speaker 3 (59:48):
So you can have the worst wreck in the world.
But as long as you're charismatic, does that mean Gavin
Newsom has a great shot in twenty twenty.

Speaker 6 (59:56):
Eight, Yeah, he should not even be in the game.
This guy has been recalled to be called uh as
the worst record of anybody in California and modern history
of the state's in terrible, terrible shape, and yet he's in.
The election was held a couples ago, get a fifty
four percent of brewerry on Californians, so he's certainly got

(01:00:19):
a base to run on and he's not gonna run
on his record. He's gonna run on against against Trump.
In my sense, that's that's what all do is. It's
all gonna be against Trump, and Trump basically is going
to be very disciplined in his message. He's got the
strongest party he's ever anybody's ever had, but they're gonna
start up evacuating if they don't see him turning this

(01:00:39):
back around it. It's all about the economy. All about
the economy.

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
The rest of it is, what does it mean discipline
in his message? I mean talk less, don't tweet every
two seconds, do a little.

Speaker 6 (01:00:50):
Less, don't tweet every two seconds, and don't let everybody
else talk. Basically, pick who you're gonna have out there doing.
What's the message of the day. If the message of
the day right today is we care about what happened
to these you know these guys gonna shot out on
the boat. Yeah that's a story, then have your message down,
stay on the message. Don't let people want and there's

(01:01:10):
too many people that are independent and know what you're
going to say. I've always ard with his strategy clients
or whether it's political lines, write it out here's what
we're going to say. Here's how long we're going to
say it. Here's where the kinds of shows are going
to go on and make sure that everybody's hearing from
us the same message and not fifteen different messages.

Speaker 3 (01:01:28):
Yeah, but you know, when you get a private sector
billionaire running well you had, you ran the Russ Paro campaign.
The private sector billionaire business guy. It's hard to tell
them things, isn't it. They don't listen, do they.

Speaker 6 (01:01:40):
They don't listen. They don't listen. I finally said it.
Par one day, say you're just trying to run a
proditional campaign. I said, no, I'm not trying to run
a campaign tradition.

Speaker 3 (01:01:51):
But they became billionaire, so they must know something.

Speaker 6 (01:01:54):
Right, They do know something, and they should stay in
the lane where they know something. That's good. Let people
understand politics and communications do that. So you're a communicator,
You're every day, every day you're out communicating your message.
Every day. You're basically talking about the things that matter
to you and anything matter to your viewers. If all
of a sudden tomorrow you are going out there and saying,
you know, we just got of likeck to the greatest

(01:02:14):
mayor in the world in New York. Let's get him
a shot. Your ears have started clicking off. That switches best. Yeah,
you got to stay consistent in your message who you
are and what you are.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
Yeah, but you know, even like that's take the Venezuela.
The boats people are basically common sense. Don't they realize, Hey,
these guys are defending drug dealers. Well, we can't defend
the drug cartels.

Speaker 9 (01:02:36):
We haven't.

Speaker 6 (01:02:37):
We haven't proved the case yet. We need to go
prove the case. And I would argue at this point
in time, this is serious. If they if they charge
the Secretary of Defense whatever he wants to be, call
as you call the world ward. But at the end
of the day, he's not a very good communicator, and
he may not be a very good Secretary of Defense.
He may have made a big mistake here. And for
some reason, when we spend the Christmas holidays talking about
that we've murdered two guys hang on the side of

(01:02:58):
a boat. We think they were to have news. We
don't know that for sure. And the Congress is calling
for hearings. He's got to cooperate with the hearings. What
are you gonna do? Sit down and get a strategy plan.
There's no strategy in this white house, right all right?

Speaker 3 (01:03:11):
Well, good stuff, Ed Rollins, always great talking you thanks
for the great analysis. Keep up the good work, and
we'll talk against him. Take care interesting stuff. Yeah, Hey,
we got a lot to get to throughout the day,
all sorts of stuff to cover. We didn't get to

(01:03:31):
the Tim Waltz fraud either. That is pretty amazing, that fraud,
Tim Waltz. You know, this happens with these democrats. Look
at the de Blasio when he was in office with
his wife's crazy program Thrive NYC, which were these crazy centers,
was like yoga for the homeless. Somehow a billion dollars

(01:03:52):
got put into that and then went missing. The billion
dollars disappeared. To this day, nobody knows where it went.
And by the way, the program itself never opened, the
single center, never got a single program done, still hasn't
to this day. The billion disappeared. That's what happens when
you get these democratic socialists. Now look at the Minnesota

(01:04:12):
where you got Tim Waltz in charge, same exact sort
of thing. It also happens to be a billion dollars
went missing. A bunch of crazy programs in Minnesota, same
kind of left wing coop nonsense programs. The billion dollars
is missing. Tim Waltz cannot seem to explain for a
second what happened to the money. Will not even take

(01:04:33):
responsibility for it. People have asked him over and over
and over again. He can't explain it. Same thing happened
with the Blasia. Luckily it's he's a left wing guy.
They don't push him to our bit. Waltz, do you
take responsibility for failing to stop this fraud in your state?

Speaker 15 (01:04:48):
Well, certainly I take responsibility for putting people in jail.
Governors don't get to just talk theoretically. We have to
solve problems. And I will note it's not just Somali's
Minnesota is a generous statement, sort of the place.

Speaker 3 (01:05:00):
Goes on and on. It's basically a no no. He
will not take responsibility for it. Hey, I don't forget
