Speaker 1 (00:00):
You just heard the news. Now you'll find out what
it all means. He smarts amone on seven to ten.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Wo Well, it's big developments happening with the mayor of
Mom Donnie. Mayor elect Mom Donnie, with Donald Trump, Will
with Epstein. We'll get to all of that coming up.
It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week, a week

(00:30):
from tomorrow. It's Thanksgiving. Unbelievable because you walk down the hall.
You can tell because there's a Thanksgiving buffet down there
by Elvis Durant Studio, by Jim Kurr Studio, there's a
whole Christmas buffet and we have to It's tons and tons.
It goes on for miles these buffets, and everybody's eating

(00:50):
like crazy because we have to finish this be for
today's lunch buffet, which begins in the two hours. That's all.
And then then we do this all day long with
these buffets in front of every studio up and down
the hall. It's all bufface. And then we do features
on why an obesity problem. So we got a lot
to get to. Let's start with the great news Mayor

(01:13):
elect Mom Donnie. You know you're gonna have to get
used to saying mayor Mom Donnie. But he's agreed to
and Jessica Tish's agreed to stay. She will be the
police commissioner under Mom Donnie. That's reassuring to a lot
of people. They've had a series of meetings. They had
phone calls over the weekend, which is a good sign.

(01:37):
If you have all these meetings in person and then
it turns into phone calls, it means you've done the
hard stuff. You got that out of the way, and
the phone calls he usually just follow up. So she
will stay on as the police commissioner. Now she made
some agreements with him. She's not gonna just stay on,
you know, good faith, You're gonna have to. He's gonna
have to actually agree to stuff. So he's agreed to

(01:59):
basically leave her alone. This is a key thing. He's
got these crazy programs with his social workers taken over
instead of police. They've made an agreement that the police
department will stay the police department. She will run that.
Whatever silly stuff he wants to do with the social workers,
that'll be separate. It'll be a department of Community safety

(02:21):
that he will run. They will focus with the social
workers on the homeless and mentally ill. They'll just deal
with that. They'll leave the police department alone. The police
department will deal with actual crime. That's one agreement they've made.
I don't know all the others, but they've agreed on
a lot of stuff. So she will stay. That's very important.

(02:42):
It's very very good news. Jessica Tish will stay on. Now,
some people say, well, we don't know, it might just
be a couple of months. You might just stay and
then leaving three I don't think so, you know, she's
not going to do that. She would either stay or leave.
If she's staying, it's because they read on the right stuff.
She's got good, solid agreements with him. If she's staying,

(03:03):
it's going to be for a while. It'll be Remember,
police commissioners generally serve a very long time, you know.
Not everybody's Ray Kelly. He was the greatest police commissioner
in history. So that was like, I think, eighteen years.
But he's Babe Ruth. That's not normal. But normally a
police commissioner, a good police commissioner stays a few years.

(03:24):
It's not one year, it's a number of years, four years,
three years, four years, five years, something like that. It
was only under Eric Adams we had the police Commissioner
of the month. How many do we have under Adams?
I mean, I don't think those Jeopardy guys could even
get that name. All the Eric Adams police commissioners. It's
not easy. Let me think he shot suwell m Who

(03:46):
is the McDermott Dermot Dermott Shay. That's another one. O'Neill.
What was O'Neill's first name, James O'Neill. That's three. Oh,
Eddie Caban that's four. Who is the guy that was
there briefly? Very nice guy was his name? Donnelly? He
was just there temporarily. He came in for a few months,

(04:07):
but a very good guy. Donnelle. That's five. And Jessica Tish.
That's six, six police commissioners in four years. It's embarrassing,
it's awful. So I think if she's agreed to stay,
it's gonna be for a while. Now. That's the most
important thing about mom. Donnie whatever nonsense, crazy stuff he

(04:27):
wants to do. Fine, But as long as the streets
are safe, that kind of fixes everything. Safe streets you
pretty much help every situation. If the streets are safe,
businesses flourish, if the streets are safe, tourists keep coming here.
That's very important for our economy. So he's Jessica Tish
will stay. That's important. Outside of that, he's gonna have

(04:52):
all these all the crazy people he's appointed, they're all
from the Deblasio administration, the same exact deputy mayors, first
deputy mayor. They're all from the Blasio administration. So you'll
basically get a repeat of that. It wasn't bad, and
we got through it. We got through eight years of that.
We'll get through four years of Mom Donnie. It might

(05:12):
only be one year. You know, you're going to get
a new governor, probably a year from now, and that
governor can remove the mayor. They have the power to
remove the mayor. It's happened before FDR removed Jimmy Walker
the mayor. So that's good news. Now. The only bad
part of this Tish thing, Mam Donnie does not want

(05:34):
Ice coming in here arresting illegals, and many of these
illegals are the worst criminals, So you want him arrested
and taken out here. Jessica Tish may have agreed with
him not to cooperate with ice. That's I don't know,
but that's the only problem. Hocal apparently is recruited a
number of big Wall Street exec top Wall Street names,

(05:56):
big business guys, people that know Trump, and she's put
the together of this group. She wants them to go
to Donald Trump and convince him to not send the
National Guardian to protect people. Now, if Jessica Tish is
here and doing a good job, there'd be no reason
to send the National Guardian. But if there is a problem,
of course she'd want him to send the National guard
Why would you turn away anything that's going to give

(06:18):
you a public safety Why would you turn away any
law enforcement, public safety anything. And also bear in mind,
you remember a few years ago when there was the
crime was getting out of control. What did Kathy Hokeel do.
Nobody remembers this. She sent the National guard in. Remember
she put him in all the subways. So she sent
the National Guarden. She thought it was a good thing
to do. But that's the hypocrisy. Democrats are famous for

(06:42):
President Trump meeting with the Saudi Prince yesterday. Saudi leaders,
a lot of people didn't like this. You know, you
don't want to have two cozy relationship between a president
and the Saudis, and it looked like reporters were asking
about the Trump organization has all kinds of business interests
in Saudi Arabia. They're building hotels and apartments and this

(07:06):
looks pretty sleazy, but he pointed out they've been doing
that anyway, long before he was president. They were building
over there, and they're building all over the world. In fact,
the amount of building they're doing in Saudi Arabia is
a lot less than they're doing in Europe or anywhere else. Hey,
the greatest moment was Trump and this ABC reporter. You know,
it's funny. ABC News. ABC the network attacks Trump twenty

(07:30):
four to seven for ten years. They call them every
name in the world. They insult them with everything he'm
insult them with. All they do is attack and insult
Donald Trump twenty four to seven for ten years without
it never stops. If he insults him once, it's an
international incident all of a sudden, ABC News is the
worst thing that's ever happened. But this is yesterday. They

(07:50):
got the Saudi crown prints. They're in the Oval Office.
They've made some agreements to help the US, to help
our businesses and a lot of big business leaders have
flown in, Tim Cook of Apple, all these big tech
guys everything. They're all there. Elon Musk came back to
the White House for this. It's very important, and they're

(08:10):
trying to talk about what they're going to do together
and hopefully they make some kind of an agreement over
protecting Israel and all of that. So it's all good stuff.
But the ABC reporter can't stop. She's asking about remember
the guy that was killed, Koshogi, and she's asking about Epstein.
This is in the middle of this positive thing. So
Trump gets mad, but this is great. He really tells

(08:32):
her off. I love listening to this. Take a listen.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
That will fight it out for Congress to release the
Epstein files. Why not just do it now? Now.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude.
I think you are a terrible reporter. It's the way
you ask these questions.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
You start off with.

Speaker 4 (08:51):
A man who's highly respected asking him a horrible, insubordinate
and just a terrible question. And you could even ask
that same exact question nicely.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
You're all psyched.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
Somebody psyches you over at ABC. You're gonna psych it.
You're a terrible person and a terrible reporter. As far
as the Epstein Files is, I have nothing to do
with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of my club
many years ago because I thought he was a sick pervert.
But I guess that would turn out to be right.

(09:25):
But you know who does have Bill Clinton? Larry Somemmers,
who ran Harvard, was with him every single night, every
single weekend.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
They lived together. They went to his island many times.
I never did.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Andrew Weissman here. All these guys were friends of his.
You don't even talk about those people. You just keep
going on the Epstein files. And what the Epstein is
is a Democrat hoax to try and get me not
to be able to talk about the twenty one trillion
dollars that I talked about today.

Speaker 3 (09:56):
It's a hoax. Now.

Speaker 4 (09:57):
I just got a little report and I put it
in my pocket. Of all the money that he's given
to Democrats, he gave me none, zero, no money to me,
but he gave money to democrats.

Speaker 3 (10:10):
And people are wise to your hoax.

Speaker 4 (10:12):
And ABC's your company, your crappy company is one of
the perpetrators.

Speaker 3 (10:17):
And I'll tell you something. I'll tell you something.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
I think the license should be taken away from ABC
because your news is so fake and is so wrong,
And we have a great commissioner, the chairman, who should
look at that, because I think when you come in
and when you're ninety seven percent negative to Trump and
then Trump wins the election in a landslide, that means

(10:41):
obviously your news is not credible and you're not credible
as a reporter.

Speaker 3 (10:45):
So I've answered your question.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
You should go and look at the Democrats who received
money from Epstein.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
Who spent their time.

Speaker 4 (10:53):
Larry Summers was with them all the time, That creep
of the guy was with him all the time.

Speaker 3 (11:02):
What's his name? Read Hoffman.

Speaker 4 (11:05):
I don't know read Hoffman, but I know he spends
a lot of money on the radical left.

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Read Hoffman, in my opinion, should be under investigation. He's
a sleevesbag and those are the people, but they don't
get any.

Speaker 4 (11:17):
Press, they don't get any news, And you're not after
the radical left because you're a.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
Radical left network. But I think the way.

Speaker 4 (11:24):
You ask a question, with the anger and the meanness
is terrible. You ought to go back and learn how
to be a reporter.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
No more so that's pretty good. But let's break that down. Now,
he threatens the licenses of ABC. You're not supposed to
do that. But if they are broadcasting false information and
distorting the news, and they have been caught doing that,
remember the George Stephanoppolis false accusations, and the ABC had
to pay Trump fifteen million quietly and not so quietly

(11:51):
to settle it. So you're not supposed to threaten their license,
but if they are distorting the news, you are supposed
to take the license away. And let's read how Hoffman
is an interesting guy. This guy Reid Hoffman, this techzillionaire.
He funds a lot of stuff. He funded the Egen
Carroll lawsuit against Trump, which will nobody believes that most

(12:12):
people think is just total hoax, But he funded that.
God are all the best lawyers. But it's a good question,
he brings up, if he has nothing to do with
Epstein for twenty years, he hasn't the twenty one years,
he has nothing to do with Epstein, no kind ofction.
A million years ago, in two thousand and four, he
found out about Epstein, and the young girls threw him

(12:33):
out of mar A Lago, banned him from the Club.
There's a million witnesses to this, people that work there,
people that were members there, So everybody knew about it
back then. I knew about it because he's one of
the people that warned me years ago, twenty years ago,
stay the hell away from Epstein, bad guy. Except for
twenty one years he stayed away from him while Democrats
got closer and closer and closer to Epstein. And he's right,

(12:55):
why aren't they, Why aren't they outside of Bill Clinton's
house demanding some answers? Or Larry Summer? He was the
former Treasury secretary to Obama Clinton. He was an advisor
and economic advisor to Joe Biden during this recent presidency,
and president of Harvard. Now, why aren't they? Why aren't

(13:15):
they bothering Larry Summers and making them explain this? Now,
Summers put out statements saying he's ashamed of his close
relationship with Epstein, and apparently Summer's cheating on his wife
like crazy and using Epstein as his dating coach. You
can see it in the emails and texts. He's now
resigned from every board he's on, He's resigned from everything,

(13:36):
still works for Harvard, but and it turns out that
Epstein over these last twenty years has been a major
Democratic donor. Hasn't given a penny to Trump, But major
Democratic donor. If they hate this guy so much, why
are they taking his money? Why are they letting him
from their campaigns? It's a very good question, you know,

(13:57):
when these files come out. First of all, there's not
that much in the fire. The Epstein files don't have
all the juicy stuff in him. The juicy stuff is
in the texts and emails, and those are coming from
the Epstein estate. But Trump asked some good questions, why
why aren't they going after these people? And this current
Democratic congresswoman what's her name? Plasket? Stacey Plaskett very close

(14:21):
to Epstein, and while she's in the hearings grilling Michael Cohen,
she's texting back and forth with Epstein during the hearings
to get his advice on what to say next and
what So, how come reporters never bother her? Somebody did
ask the Stacey Plasket Well, oh no, it was Caitlin Collins.

(14:44):
She was on CNN. So she said to Hakim Jeffries,
how come you're not mad at Stacey Plaskett for being
so close to Epstein. They're texting back and forth during
the hearings on Trump, and Epstein says, well, she has
not violated any law. Okay, it's not illegal, but it's
certainly inappropriate. It's not illegal to go to Epstein's house

(15:06):
and hang out with him, but it's totally inappropriate. You know,
George Stephanoppolis having dinner with Epstein at his house, Katie
Couric having dinner with Epstein at his house. Why aren't
more people asking them about all this? Trump has nothing
to do with Epstein. I love Good Day in New York.
It's a great shows on Channel five every morning. And
they got this political guy that does the political pieces.

(15:28):
His name is Robert Moses. He's a cute guy. I
like him, but he's the most slanted partisan. So when
Trump said he had nothing to do with Epstein, I
have nothing.

Speaker 4 (15:38):
To do with Jeffrey Epstein. I threw him out of
my club many years ago because I thought he was
a sick pervert.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
But I guess I would turn out to be right.

Speaker 2 (15:46):
So when Robert Moses does the story with this clip,
he actually said President Trump tried to claim that he
had nothing to do with Epstein about biased language. He
tried to claim he did. This is all well known
to people. Again, there are a million witnesses to but
they never tell you this part of it. He tried
to claim, you could easily find a dozen witnesses right

(16:12):
now that know about how this did happen twenty one
years ago. I threw him the hell out of mar Alago,
never spoke to him again. Anyway. We'll get back to Epstein,
We'll get back to Mom, Donnie. Lots more to get to.
We'll get to Hochel and more coming up. We'll take
some calls next. Eight hundred three to two one zero
seven ten is the number, eight hundred three two one

(16:33):
zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Yeah, more marximone on sevent ten to that.

Speaker 2 (16:40):
I guess I have to just accept that it's the
holiday season. I like to think it's still the end
of summer. It's still early fall. I guess I have
to accept it's Thanksgiving. It's Christmas season out in the hall,
this Christmas trees, this Christmas music, got a Christmas buffet.
I just have to accept it.

Speaker 5 (16:58):
I know.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
I know.

Speaker 2 (17:00):
Let's go to take some calls. Let's go to Mike
and Florida. Mike, how you doing, good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.

Speaker 7 (17:07):
That SoundBite you played from the press conference is really
underscores the problem that Trump has not only with the media,
but with the Republican Party, who just cower every time
they have a chance to get somebody's you know, wats
and advice, they fall back on, well, it's not technically illegal,
so they won't censure that congress woman who's texting with

(17:29):
Epstein during the during the hearings, you know, because it
wasn't technically illegal. And meanwhile they then they fall back on, well,
Trump should release everything. But you know, if Trump releases
all this Epstein stuff, they'll drag him in front of
the court and they say he jeopardized the lives of
the accused and the and the victims, and then that

(17:51):
will become a UNO watch show.

Speaker 5 (17:52):
Yeah, it's calling.

Speaker 2 (17:54):
Well, a bigger problem is once he releases everything, they'll
claim it's not everything. And you may I've seen these
Jeffrey Eckstein victims. It's about a dozen women holding this
press conference. The Democratic consultants have got a hold of
these women staging these press conferences where they go on
and on and on. But you'll notice there's a dozen victims.

(18:15):
Not one of them, not one of them has ever
seen Donald Trump or mentioned Donald Trump or That's the
problem with this Epstein stuff. It's going to implicate some Democrats.
Larry Summers has already had his public life destroyed by
the handful of texts and emails that came out. Wait
till it all comes out, You're going to see a
lot of major Democrats, their donors, their cabinet, a lot

(18:37):
of these people are going to be ruined when this
stuff comes out. Let's go to Lou and Queen's Lou.

Speaker 5 (18:43):
How you doing, hey, Mark, you said it, be careful
about opening up Pandora's box. That's what this is going
to turn into. But I wanted to draw your attention
to a fascinating story in the Internal.

Speaker 2 (18:58):
Well, we'll be the judge of that. If it's in
the Wall Street Journal, how fascinating can it be. That's
usually that thing. That paper has news from like three
weeks ago all the time.

Speaker 5 (19:07):
Well, this is old news. It's about during the Shah
of Iran. I didn't know it. The Israelis and the
Iranians were working together to put together their whole water system,
you know, their water supply and everything else and it
was working perfectly. That of course, the Iatola came to power,
the Iranian engineers along with the Israelis, all went to Israel.

Speaker 2 (19:30):
Yeah, they're having a big water crisis in Iran. In fact,
it's so bad they to believe they may have to
evacuate Iran. They've already moved people into concentrated areas where
they'd still have some water. But there's a tremendous water
shortage occurring in Iran. I said, this is what I
mean about the Wall Street Journal. This is this story

(19:51):
from two weeks ago. That's just in there. Now, let's
go to Rob in Franklin Square. Rob, how you doing.

Speaker 8 (19:57):
Hi, Good morning Markia. You know, I don't think it
was a good quot for the President to have that
press conference with with the Crown Prince, with the because uh,
you know, you know, with this couple of building and
the death of Koshalgi, he should have known that that
they were gonna he was gonna be asked questions about him.
You know, maybe he's been better off not having uh
you know.

Speaker 2 (20:17):
Well that's taken the easy way. In the smart way,
he never does that. He likes to whatever the toughest
way to do it is that's the way he always
likes to do it. Yeah, yeah, no, he never hides
from anything or anybody. Probably, you know, if you get
somebody who's out of line like that, you should probably
just ban them for two weeks, put them in the
penalty box, like no ABC News allowed in the White

(20:38):
House for two weeks.

Speaker 3 (20:39):
Just try that.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Maybe they'll learn how to behave a little better. Let's
go to Joe in Long Island.

Speaker 7 (20:43):
Joe, how you doing, Hey, Mark, You're the best as always.

Speaker 9 (20:47):
Just two quick things. I think I've heard that Trump
was actually an FBI in forman.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
In two thousand and nine against Epstein.

Speaker 2 (20:54):
And no, no, no, no, not true. Not true. Yeah no.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
And then but hetually did give them some information.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Not true. You saw that on some website, right, not true, Okay,
not true. The FBI of two thousand and nine. That
was call mean company and not big Trump fans. Yeah. Now,
Trump broke up with him twenty one years ago, had
nothing to do with him since. But he was very
close to Democrats. Now he was. I didn't know him
that well. I don't know what his politics were, but

(21:23):
he was in the middle of the Upper East Side
of Manhattan and the circles he traveled in. It was
mostly Democrats in those circles. Had there been more Republicans around, well,
maybe he would have known more Republicans. But you know,
when you're trying to immerse yourself in the world of
politics in New York City, you're gonna end up knowing
a lot more Democrats than Republicans. Hey, when we come back,

(21:45):
I want to talk to this guy. He's an assemblyman
from New York actually from Oyster Bay. Jake Blumenkrantz. He
served with Mom Donnie in the Assembly. He's a Republican,
but you know, he can give us some insight into
Mam Donnie and maybe he can explain to it what
the hell's going on with this socialism and Mom Donnie.
This could be interesting. We'll get to this next on
seven to ten WR.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
Marximo on sevent tenor.

Speaker 2 (22:11):
Hey, Jake blumen Krantz, very popular assemblyman State Assembly. He's
from Oyster Bay. You might have seen a lot of
him on television and everywhere lately. Served with Mom Donnie.
Can give us some insight into that whole phenomenon. And
he's with us right now. Jake blumin Krantz. How you
doing good?

Speaker 10 (22:29):
Thank you for having me on.

Speaker 2 (22:30):
Hey. Also, you're a young guy. How old are you?

Speaker 10 (22:34):
I am twenty nine.

Speaker 2 (22:35):
Twenty nine and you're in the State Assembly. Mam Donnie
is thirty four. We're seeing more and more of this.
What is this new phenomenon of all these very young
public servants.

Speaker 10 (22:44):
Look, I think when you see issues go unaddressed by
establishment candidates on either side of the aisles, as a
young person, you got to step in and you got
to say this isn't right. We have solutions, we have answers,
and in reality, my answers and may Or elect mondomni'sancays
are different. But I think that the sentiment that things
need to change is the same.

Speaker 2 (23:04):
Yeah, but we're used to these Sheldon Silver, Chuck Schumer,
old men with the glasses all flogged up kind of
people in the government. But it's good to see. Hey,
tell us about Mandannie. You served with Mam Donni. What
did you think of him back then? I do.

Speaker 10 (23:22):
He's been an assemblyment with me since I started. Interesting character.
I think what I'd say to anyone who asked me
that question is he means what he says, and he
says what he means. He's an ideological guy and he
believes a lot of the rhetoric that he espouses. Isn't
unfortunate as a Jewish legislator to see someone like him
rise so prominently, because he introduced legislation like not on

(23:43):
My Dime, which would effectively empower the AG's office to
hurt Jewish charities and not for profits for supporting Israel,
among many other very dangerous pieces of legislation. Yeah, in
a new place of power, we're gonna have to see
what you're gonna do.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Well, you were two young guys. They're up in all
butany in the Assembly. Did you have any a lot
of personal interaction with him.

Speaker 10 (24:04):
Yeah, we did interact quite a bit, and I'd say
he's a very cordial person. But at the end of
the day, my concern with him is his policy proposals
and his incorrect solutions to the correct problems. We do
have a problem with affordability, but I don't think the free, free,
free parade is one that is either effective or going

(24:24):
to solve the problems he.

Speaker 5 (24:25):
Hopes to solve.

Speaker 2 (24:26):
You might get some naive voters, but Mom, Donnie, as
bad as he is, seems like a very high IQ
sort of a guy. Why wouldn't a guy like that
know the history of socialism and its failures.

Speaker 10 (24:38):
Well, he might be not necessarily looking at its failures,
but populism at large is what is a play in
his campaign. He's telling people what they want to hear.
They want to hear that your rent will go down.
They want to hear that groceries are too expensive. I
think he's tapping into the affordability message in a way
that people appreciate. My problem with it is, you're.

Speaker 9 (24:56):
Right, he is not paying attention to the rest of.

Speaker 10 (24:58):
The history of socialism. It's very easy to win O
for voters when you have a message like that, but
it's very hard to govern.

Speaker 2 (25:05):
Yeah, Jake Blumenkrantz, you're an assemblyman. You're a Republican up
there in Albany in the Assembly with very few Republicans
up there. How does it feel? How tough is it
being a Republican in that legislature.

Speaker 10 (25:17):
It's always an uphill battle because they have a supermajority,
a veto proof supermajority right now, and at the end
of the day, even if the governor doesn't feel compelled
to pass many of his agenda points. If he manages
to convince enough of our colleagues in the Assembly and
Senate to do what he wants to do, her hands
will be tied and that'll be a big question for
her as she runs for reelection this year.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
Yeah. Hey, but this socialism, this mom, Donnie, it's not
just him, There's a bunch of them all over the country.
What is this socialism creeping into democratic politics?

Speaker 10 (25:46):
So the DSA is an organization, the Democratic Socialist of
America that continues to have a pernicious effect on the
Democratic Party. They are on the rise in New York State.
In many races in the city, we don't even run
Republican candidates because there's none enough voters that and there's
not enough candidates that we have to run, which allows
them to take a hold and combat the Democrats from

(26:07):
the far left. And it's become a race left with
no finish line.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Yeah, all right, let me get back to we're talking
with Assemblyman Jake blumen Krantz. You said Mandani means what
he says. Can we at least hope maybe it's he's
a lot of talk but not much action, And maybe
it won't be as bad as we think.

Speaker 10 (26:27):
I think with any mayor who has as as strong
proposals as mister Mandami does, there will be questions as
to what is possible and what is impossible, and I
think that comes with participation from the state legislature. Let's
see if there are commer heads up north in Albany
than there are in the city, and that would determine
whether or not he's able to really fulfill much of
his promises or not.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Yeah, now he's appointed his first deputy mayor. It's a
guy named Dean Fulahan, who was Deblasio's first deputy mayor.
But this is problem with this full ofhand. He apparently
is very plugged in up there in Albany to the
ledge and can get things done. Did you ever have
any dealings with them?

Speaker 10 (27:04):
I never, personally don't them. But I'd say that mister
Mondommie is going to play a really smart Albany game,
and that's a really dangerous thing for New Yorkers and
for many who are concerned that his policies are detrimental
to us and the problems that he hopes to solve.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
All right, well, you're not exactly cheering this up, but
that's okay. We want you to be honest.

Speaker 10 (27:22):
I don't mean to paint a bleak picture, but I
do think that we as Republicans, we need to win
on the battlefield of ideas with new ideas. We can't
just say no, his policies are bad. We need to
truly propose and try it and act real change for
the sake of affordability. People are struggling out there. People
can't afford their groceries. We do need to come up

(27:42):
with the proposals that work and fight against ones that don't.
But at the end of the day, if we don't
have new messaging and new ideas and new voices coming
into the pray, it'll be a difficult task.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
But you look at this affordability crisis across America. It
seems to always be in the blue cities, and the
Democrat solutions usually lead to this crisis. So how do
you message that, How do you make that clear that
they pretty much caused You.

Speaker 10 (28:06):
Have to be you have to be tactful, and you
have to realize that sometimes even in urban areas, the
logic can prevail. Mayor Bloomberg Grant as a Republican who
was a fiscal conservative who wanted to rain in some
of the spending to be a prolific builder. And we
saw that, and we saw the city in sort of
a golden age, and it's important we want to try

(28:28):
and focus on bringing ourselves back to those times and
bring ourselves back to the ideas of safety and affordability
as paramount.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Yeah. Hey, it tell us about serving in the Assembly.
How is that is that? Is it full time when
you're an assemblyman or is it a part time thing?
You're not there every day.

Speaker 10 (28:44):
We're up there for about six months a year, and
it comes down to making sure that our budget priorities
are in place and making sure we're getting what we
need for our communities. And we work closely in a
bipartisan way to do that when we can as part
of the minority caucus. But we have we still managed
to get some great accomplishments done that.

Speaker 2 (29:05):
We're just fighting the good fight, all right, Well, good stuff.
And you're an Oyster Bay right, I love Oyster Bay, great.

Speaker 10 (29:10):
Town, Yes, beautiful Long Island absolutely.

Speaker 2 (29:13):
Yeah, all right, well, good luck, keep up the good fight.
You're one of the few Republicans up there in all
beneath Jake Bloom and Grantz. Thanks for being.

Speaker 10 (29:19):
With us, Thank you for having me on.

Speaker 2 (29:22):
All right, take care, all right, that that wasn't the
most encouraging thing. But way we want him to be honest.
You know, I keep I want to think it, mom,
Donnie's going to be like the Blasio who was bad.
But it wasn't as bad as we thought it might be.
Because remember the good thing about the Blasio. Well here's
the only difference. So the good thing about the Blasi

(29:42):
he just never showed up for work. Remember he would
go to the gym. He'd wake up like nine in
the morning, go to the gym till noon. Then he
went to that coffee place in Brooklyn, hang out there,
chow up in city Hall about three o'clock, take a nap,
wake up and leave and go home. It was about
his whole day. The only problem with this, mom, younger,
more energetic guy, he might actually be doing stuff all

(30:05):
day and night. Now. The good news is he's never
had a job in his life. He's never been an executive,
he's never been a manager, So that hopefully means he
won't know how to execute anything or get anything actually done.
The bad news is he's got all these exta Blasio
people running City Hall first Deputy mayor Dean Fulhand. These

(30:25):
guys actually know how to execute. So anyway, the good
news is Jessica Tish will stay as police commissioner. We're
assuming that they had a number of conversations. We're assuming
she wouldn't have agreed if this is just going to
be a couple of months, so you can probably assume
she'll be there for at least a year or two
or three. So that's the good news. Anyway, Buck and

(30:45):
Clay are coming up at noon. You don't want to
miss them today noon to three. And then you got
the most listened to radio show in America, Sean Hannity
at three, he got Jesse Kelly at six, and our
big news show which everybody loves. You got to listen to.
This is Jimmy Fallop Jimmy Faylum every night at nine
on seven to ten.

Speaker 1 (31:04):
Wr set up re said on the iHeartRadio app to
wor to hear Mark live.

Speaker 3 (31:10):
Set another for.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Mark's podcast to hear him anytime now back to Mark
Simone on WOR.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
Hey know it's funny. They announced that today it's the
first gridlock alert day of the season. Gridlock Alert Day.
What was yesterday, what was the day before. It's goodlock
every day, but for some reason, gridlock alert day today.
Just bear that in mind. Hey, we'll be back in
the next hour. We got a lot to get to.
We'll get to the NFL's latest scheme, and we'll get
back to Mom Donnie, and we'll get to there's some

(31:41):
more Epstein stuff to delve into. We'll get to all
of that. Don't forget. I'm here every day ten to noon.
But also you could listen anytime day or night. Just
get the podcast wherever you get podcasts. Back right after
the news on seven to ten wo.

Speaker 11 (31:57):
Houster, New York, Mark Simoner, Hey, well, it's a lot
going on this morning.

Speaker 2 (32:10):
All the police Commissioner Jessica Tish is staying and she's
just put out a memo moments ago to the entire
department assuring them that she will have their back, that
everything will be fine under her that she and mayor
elect Mom Donnie have come to agreement on things now.

(32:30):
From what I hear, they've had a number of meetings,
in person meetings, then they had a bunch of phone
calls over the weekend. So apparently the deal is he
will leave the NYPD alone. She will run it. She's
not the type to run it and be micromanaged and
told what to do. That's not her. She's staying because
she's gotten the assurance she'll be able to run the department. Now,

(32:54):
Mom Donnie, what about all his crazy nonsense about the
social workers doing this and that. Apparently he's agreed to
do that separately from the NYPD. The NYPD will be
the police department, and he will have his Department of
Community Safety, and that's where all the social workers will go,
and then they'll deal with homeless or mentally ill or

(33:16):
those kind of things. So I don't think that, well,
I know that she wouldn't do this unless she had
some assurance should be left alone and for a good
deal of time. So I don't think this is a
deal where she's going to have a problem three months
and quit. And I don't think mom Donnie would want

(33:37):
to risk her quitting a couple of months into his
first year if he wants her to stay. He knows
the problem with the problem with her. People like her.
It's very respected and seems to be a woman, a
real principle, So if there was a problem, something bad,
she'd quit she doesn't need the job. She would quit,

(34:01):
go public and say I can't you know, I'm leaving
because of this and this, and it'd be a great
embarrassment to the mayor. I know she's threatened Adams with
that a few times when he tried to interfere, and
she's good at threatening him. You know, I'll leave and
I'll hold the press comings though, And she was right
to do it. She was, you know, fighting for the
right stuff for the NYPD. So if I know that mom,
Donnie knows that that she's good at that kind of leverage,

(34:24):
and he's not going to want that kind of embarrassment
in his first year. So obviously I've come to a good,
strong agreement on this. She will stay. That's very good news.
Excellent news. Now they both agree on keeping Ice out.
She doesn't want Ice in there. You know. Ice basically

(34:46):
what they do is they come in and they take
away the worst criminals of all I mean, you could
try to argue that not everybody to grab is the worst.
Well that's true of any police department. And you know,
if you arrest twelve thousand people last year, maybe six
you shouldn't have arrested going to happen. You can't help that.
Tom Holman has let Mom Donnie know if he needs
to come in. He's coming in.

Speaker 12 (35:06):
The Mayor of New York City wants to come in
and talk about making the streets safer. Open up for discussion.
I'm wanting to meet with anybody. President Trump's willing to
meet with anybody, but let's get together and work it together.
We much rather work with these sanctuary cities than keep,
you know, putting our agents at extreme risk going out
in the community and wrestling public safety trip and they
could arrested them in the safety and security of a jail.

(35:28):
So we walk home in any conversation. But they if
they don't want assist, they want to keep, you know,
pushing back and impeding our efforts, then we're going to
just send more teams there.

Speaker 2 (35:37):
We're going to play his own. Yeah. Home's always been
right about let's do it in Rikers Island, in that
prison where it's safe and you're not going to hurt
any innocent vice. Then let's do the arrest in there.
You know, Ice for a long time had an office
in Rikers Islands. He wants to go back to that
hit more of homeans so.

Speaker 12 (35:56):
We're going to be coming to New York City. We're
already there now, I mean teams are there now. But
we were in wreac the enforcement President in New York
City again because there's a sanctuary city and we know
we have an issue. There are public state to try
to sit in the street every day.

Speaker 2 (36:06):
Yeah. Now, important thing to remember is if there's a
dispute about what ICE can do in New York and
you can't arrest this, well, believe it or not, federal
law supersedes local law. So Holman has the law on
his side. The courts would have to uphold that. Hey,
last night at the White House they had this What
a dinner they had, and it was Saudi Day all

(36:27):
day with the Saudi leaders, the Crown Princess and that.
And by the way, today is the Saudi Economic Forum.
Apparently it's very importless and there's zillions of dollars coming
in and out of that part of the world, and
every business leader wants in on that. So it's a
big economic forum. It's at the Kennedy Center. They're using

(36:47):
the Kennedy Center and President Trump will go there and
address this group. Last night, that was quite a state dinner.
They had. If you look at the main table with
the Saudi leaders there, it's Trump Ump, it's Elon Musk,
it's Bill Gates, close buddy of Jeffrey Epstein. It's Bill Gates,

(37:08):
it's Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Cook of Apple, and they're
all these guys are all praising Trump. Thank you for
inviting us, Thank you for the wonderful dinner. What an
honor to know you, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, Tim Cook.
Let me wait a minute, I lost it. Let me
see now I lost the video. But it's very interesting

(37:29):
with these guys Bill Gates with us. Well, thank you,
mister President for including me. Such an honor to be
here with you. And Mark Zuckerberg, thank you so much
for having me. I just love being here with you.
These the guys that censored Donald Trump just two years ago,
banned him from their from their platforms. Tim Cook said,

(37:50):
an honor to be included. So this of course driving
the left nuts. Now, Bill Gates, you should see these
texts and emails with Bill Gates. It's an Epstein. Apparently
it's a Bill Gates top assistant who's trying to negotiate.
Apparently Bill Gates was at Epstein's house all the time.

(38:11):
All the time. We'll we'll get back to it, but
all the time he was there at Epstein's house. Now,
when you ask him, a couple of reporters said, well,
what were you doing at Epstein's house for five hours
every night? Well, I was meeting with him about donations

(38:31):
form my charity. Now, first of all, why would a
guy with two hundred and fifty billion dollars meet with
a guy with forty million to get money from If
you got two hundred and fifty billion and this guy's
there for this guy's worth forty million, you really don't

(38:51):
need to meet with him for any money. The other
thing is if it's for raising money for a charity.
You know, I'm on the board of a lot of charities,
so I've been there for these meetings where you meet
with the billionaire or the zillionaire trying to get money
from him. These meetings are usually a half hour. Sometimes
there's been cases where they'll go to an hour. I've
never seen a five hour meeting for that. There's no

(39:12):
such thing as a five hour meeting for that. And
the other thing is these meetings take place during the day.
Usually you go to the guy's office. A lot of
times you get to his office, he says, let's go
in the conference room, and you sit there for an
hour in the middle of the day, and then you
go home and he goes back to work. It's never
at his house at night for five hours. There's never

(39:34):
been a meeting over raising money for a charity at
somebody's house for five hours. It's absolutely ridiculous. It's insane
to even try to claim that. But if you read
these emails from Bill Gates's top assistant and Epstein's trying
to get him back. She keeps saying, it's it's Bill
Gates's wife. He won't she won't let him come back

(39:56):
to your house. And Bill Gates, the wife is for
bid him to talk to you. So you can be
sure the wife knew what was going on. The wife
knows him a lot better than we do, so she
knew what was going on and put her foot down.
Don't ever go to his house again. So Bill Gates
is going to have a big problem. Larry Summers the big,
big senior Democrat. He was the Treasury Secretary of Bill Clinton.

(40:18):
He was the advisor to Obama. In fact, recently in
the Biden administration. He was an advisor to Biden. Larry
Summers has had to quit every board he's on. He
quit open AI today, he quit all the boards. He
resigned from everything in public. Now he said, I'll keep
my Harvard stuff. I'm a Harvard professor. I'll continue. Harvard

(40:38):
just announced an hour ago they're opening an investigation into
Larry Summers. Oh what do you need to investigate? We
know just read the text, read the emails. We know
what was going on with him in Epstein. There it is.
We also got to wonder how bright is this Larry
Summers if he puts all this in writing. If you're
going to discuss women and philandering and have Epstein be

(41:03):
your dating coach when you're married, call him on the phone,
do it over the four why did you put in writings?
Just insane? So he's got a problem. He's basically canceled. Now.
Bill Gates doesn't really work anywhere for anybody, I mean Microsoft,
But he's stepped down from any active role, so you
can't really cancel him. But you're going to have others

(41:26):
when these files are released. Now they're demanding the files
be released within thirty days. But the ruling is they
want them searchable and downloadable. That's going to take time
to do that. It shows you how lazy they are.
It has to be searchable. We're not going to read
the whole thing. We basically these files aren't going to
show much of anything. The juicy stuff is not in

(41:48):
the files. It's in the text, the emails, and those
are all coming from the Epstein estate that had access
to his phone, his emails, all that stuff. The files
are most from the New York FBI office because back
then that's where the investigation was conducted, the New York
FBI office, and then with the Glene Maxwell and Jeffrey

(42:10):
Epstein US Attorney's office, so that's where the Southern District
US Attorney's office Southern District, So that's where the files
are coming from. And they're basically pretty you know, you know,
cold law enforcement sort of investigation files. So the juicy stuff,
the dialogue is not in those files. As far as victims,

(42:33):
all the victims, there's one thing in common. They don't
claim Donald Trump ever did anything to them. Nothing. Now,
the lead victim is Virginia jeuf Frey. Virginia Giufrey was
the number one victim she wrote a book, and she
made it clear Donald Trump was not involved in anything bad.
In fact, she said he was always a gentleman and
very friendly to her. She had a co author on

(42:56):
the book. The co author who worked with her and
got her a whole story for the book spoke to CBS.
Now here's the problem. The whole thing backfired on CBS.
They tried to ask her what about Donald Trump. Well,
they didn't like the answer.

Speaker 13 (43:12):
She gave, and she felt validated by it.

Speaker 2 (43:16):
Wait a minute, I.

Speaker 13 (43:17):
Never talked about him in any sense that he was
involved in any of this. No, No, he was not,
as far as she knew. And again, she was there
for two plus years. But as far as she knew,
he was not involved in the ring of trafficking that
Epstein was working.

Speaker 2 (43:38):
Now that's bad. CBS does not like that answer. Here's more.
Listen to this part about you.

Speaker 13 (43:43):
Mentioned President Trump at all in your discussion.

Speaker 5 (43:46):
Oh, she absolutely did.

Speaker 13 (43:47):
I was in Australia in October, a month before, weeks
before the presidential election.

Speaker 3 (43:56):
She was a huge Trump fan.

Speaker 9 (43:58):
Two reasons for that.

Speaker 13 (44:00):
One, she had met Trump on numerous occasions because she
worked at mar Laga Spa in Florida, which he owns,
and her father also worked there and knew Trump pretty well,
so she was introduced to Trump. He was kind to her.
The second reason she wanted Trump to be president was
because he campaigned on releasing the Epstein files and she

(44:25):
was excited.

Speaker 2 (44:25):
If you're watching the video, the CBS reporter looks very
upset where she says she does not like the part
where she says Trump was very kind and a nice man.
Quit a minute, let me stop this now. The other
thing is you're going to hear this a lot, especially
from these right wing crazies, that they keep saying Trump
campaigned on releasing the Epstein files. That's absolutely not true.

(44:49):
He never campaigned ever on releasing the Epstein files. If
you go check the whole campaign, every speech, every major speech,
he never mentions the Epstein files. The only time it
came up during the campaign he was on Fox and
Friends one day and they brought it up, and they said,
are you would you release the Epstein files And he said, yeah,

(45:09):
i'd before releasing him. But he never campaigned on it.
It's never ever, ever in the campaign, never in a
Trump speech. So that's important to remember. Uh, what else, Hey,
the NFL. I know the owners love this. Roger Goodell
and I can't stand this Roger Goodell. He's always up
to something weird. Now here's his latest obsession. Apparently obsessed.

(45:34):
They're going to bring back these supersonic flights. You remember
the Concord and all that speed of sound. Supersonic. They're
bringing those back. I hated that Concord. It was a
horrible plane. It was so small and tight. They had
to make it really small and it got you there faster,
but it was so uncomfortable. The seats were smaller, it
was like riding in coach. It was just a terrible,

(45:57):
terrible flight. But they're bringing that back. So it'll be
you'll be able to get to Europe in three hours,
four hours. It'll be like flying to la So apparently
the NFL is obsessed with this. They think, since it'll
be so easy and fast to get to Europe, that
they should have a whole bunch of franchises in Europe.
They want why do they want to have more teams?
I guess money reasons. There's a lot of money in it.

(46:17):
But you got too many teams already. You don't need
all these teams. There's too many nfls. So now they
want to have all these teams, and it's going to
just screw up the whole feel of the NFL. You know,
it's one thing when when it's Tampa versus Chicago, when
it's Pittsburgh versus New York, it's one thing. But when
it's Milan versus Venice versus. We don't need these European teams.

(46:41):
But you can't talk Roger Goodell on anything. Forget about it.
It's not gonna not gonna work. Hey, if you want,
I'm gonna give you some. This is great diet advice,
by the way. Start watching the cooking videos. Whatever you like,
whatever you eat too much of, go watch the cooking video.
You take a good one, you know, Jacques pa Pan

(47:02):
or Gordon Rams you anything great cookie can when you
see how it's made, it'll help stop you from eating it.
You know, like even like a steak in a restaurant.
You know you make steak at home. You say, she's
not as good as in the restaurant. When I go
to a steakhouse. Somehow it's better. Well, watch the videos
when they make it. Because you put a little salt

(47:24):
on the top, they cover the whole top with salt.
There's covered with salt. It's like a cup of salt
on that thing, which is not good for you. And
then you might put a little butter in there. Watch
what they throw, like a whole stick of butter in there.
They baste it in butter. They keep cooking it butter.
So if you like whatever, just even a little piece
of cake, go watch the video where they make the cake.

(47:45):
You won't believe how much butter is in there. Watch
how much cream and butter and the stuff. They watch
them just pour the sugar in there. To watch those videos,
it'll turn you off. It'll help you with your diet. Anyway.
We'll take some calls in a moment. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Mister New York mar simone, he's on sevent ten.

Speaker 10 (48:10):
WI.

Speaker 2 (48:12):
Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to George in Brooklyn. George,
how you doing okay? And you let me check not bad?
Not bad?

Speaker 14 (48:24):
And I listen, there was no way uh mcdonney could
have lost. See he was running by himself.

Speaker 2 (48:29):
What do you mean.

Speaker 14 (48:31):
There was I mean nobody wanted them The other two.
So he was running by and sell, how could you
this is not legitimate?

Speaker 2 (48:38):
I don't know, all right, very good point. I don't
know what it is, but as long as you do,
thanks for calling. Let's go to uh Lou in Wanta.

Speaker 9 (48:45):
Lou.

Speaker 5 (48:45):
How you doing okay?

Speaker 14 (48:47):
Very good mark this, Lou. I want you to bring
up the point that all the goods in the country
are still a little bit high. Everybody's complaining, Well, not
all of them.

Speaker 2 (48:56):
Prices have come down on a lot of things.

Speaker 14 (48:59):
Yeah, well, there's a is a way President Trump could
even bring him down quicker. Stop the federal excise tax
on diesel fuel. Everything in the country ships by diesel fuel.
Trains run on diesel fuel, boats run on diesel fuel.
Trucks run on diesel fuel. You cut the federal excise tax,
everything will come down because the yeahs will pass that

(49:19):
on to the consumers.

Speaker 2 (49:20):
Well, y're absolutely right. That's a good point. But more
than that, the biggest tax are the local state taxes
on gasoline. You know, if you go around the country,
gas is really cheap. Now we're getting cheaper, it's like
two sixty nine, but if you're in New York, it's
still three to ninety. Again, that's because of all the
local taxes. New York and California still have these high

(49:42):
gas prices because the tax you know, when you buy
a gallon of gas, if it's three fifty, the gas
station gets like four cents out of that three fifty.
The rest is all these taxes and raz So yeah,
just cut the state local taxes too. Let's go to
Anderson in Westchester. Anderson, how you doing?

Speaker 6 (50:01):
Not bad for a fellow my age?

Speaker 2 (50:03):
So how old are you?

Speaker 6 (50:05):
Turned seventy nine yesterday?

Speaker 2 (50:06):
That's not that old. That's the age of the president.

Speaker 6 (50:11):
Yeah, no, it's not that all right, it's as old
as I've ever been. Let's put it down all right.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Where are you in Westchester?

Speaker 6 (50:17):
Up around Yorktown?

Speaker 2 (50:18):
Yorktown is very nice, Yorktown Heights. I love that place. Yeah,
but you got Uncle Giuseppe's up there, one of the
great supermarkets in the tristy there.

Speaker 6 (50:26):
Oh yeah, so indeed they do. But listen, I got
some really troubling news. I run a small charity. Yeah,
and we've been working on climate change.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
Sohneety nine, what are you working on trying to get
more climate change? What are you doing?

Speaker 5 (50:44):
Well?

Speaker 6 (50:44):
We were trying to figure out the problem. We were
like everybody else is running around complaining about the weather. Well,
it's getting hotter, the ice is melting, the ocean's rising.
Oh YadA, YadA, YadA. But then in twenty nineteen we
figured out, my goodness, we're looking at this and entirely
the wrong way. We should not be worried about the
weather or the melting ice or the rising.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
First of all, the seas aren't The seas aren't rising,
the ice isn't melting. Everything's fine. Go back and watch
the al Gore movie An Inconvenient Truth. Watch it. Now,
everything he predicted never came true.

Speaker 6 (51:17):
Yeah, well that's because al Gore, like everybody else, was
looking at the problem the wrong way.

Speaker 2 (51:22):
No, it's because they were looking to make money off it.
It's a president Trump is right, the green scheme. Ocean's
not rising. Every Democrat they buy houses right on the
ocean all the time. Okay, the ice is not melting.
You're in New York Town, you don't even have water
near you.

Speaker 6 (51:37):
Don't worry, all right, I'll tell you what. I'll let
you go because if you believe that stuff is true,
I don't. I don't think I've got the right audience.

Speaker 2 (51:46):
No, you definitely don't. The fact that the hey, you know,
there's a great ABC News piece from two thousand. No, yeah,
around two thousand where they said Manhattan will be underwater
by twenty fourteen. And again the al Gore movies, a
great everything you predicted it never came true. Everything, John
Carey never never came true.

Speaker 6 (52:04):
Okay, all right, well, very good, then take care.

Speaker 2 (52:06):
You can't convince these people of anything. Do you remember
that ocean's rising? There's another grad I think it's CBS
Dan Rather. You can find these videos if you go online.
It was a piece on how Florida's going to be
underwater by the year twenty twelve. And while they do
these things, tell you the sea is rising, beaches are

(52:29):
going to go away. They buy houses on the beach
all the time. John Kerrey has a house on the beach.
The Obamas have bought now two houses on two different beaches.
CNN moved their headquarters from Columbus Circle to the water.
They moved it over to the Hudson River. They're right
on the river. So they don't even believe this stuff. Hey,
when we come back and Culter will be with us

(52:50):
next on seven to ten WR.

Speaker 11 (52:53):
You're listening to the Mark Simone SHOWR.

Speaker 2 (52:59):
Well and cold. Here the great columnist, best selling author.
And make sure you follow on Twitter. It's and Culter
at Twitter. Even better at substack where she's got videos
and interviews and podcasts and all sorts of stuff. Go
to and Culter dot substack dot com and culture dot
substack dot com and culture.

Speaker 6 (53:17):
How you doing fantastic?

Speaker 9 (53:19):
How are you, Mark Simon?

Speaker 2 (53:21):
I'm good, I'm good. The mom Donnie says Jessica Tish
will stay as the police commissioner. So that's a good sign,
isn't it. Maybe it won't be as bad as we think.

Speaker 9 (53:31):
No, that's fantastically. I hope the police can do their job.
The other big news and boy Mayor Adams should have
talked about this a little bit more. He apparently commissioned
a couple of architectural firms to come up with a
better method of the scaffolding that is all over the city,
absolutely destroying buildings, destroying sidewalks. Well, I didn't even know

(53:56):
he had done that.

Speaker 2 (53:57):
Yeah, but we like scaffolding, well, scaffolding, you know what
you like?

Speaker 5 (54:03):
Scaffold?

Speaker 9 (54:04):
Well, no one likes scaffolding. It's oh, it's awful.

Speaker 14 (54:08):
It's awful.

Speaker 2 (54:08):
It's so it doesn't look good, but it doesn't look
good when you wake up like this morning and it's raining.
You can walk without an umbrella. You got the scaffolding
all the way around the block. It's perfect.

Speaker 9 (54:20):
We could have pretty awnings for that instead. If that's
what you would like, march.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Someone, right, Okay, So obviously this architectural firm uh pretty
plugged in with the new administration getting a contract already.
That's very good. But these socialists taking over the Democratic Party.
Where are the elders of the party to stop this?
Why aren't they doing something about it?

Speaker 9 (54:46):
Oh, I'm so glad you ask.

Speaker 5 (54:47):
They're all dying.

Speaker 9 (54:49):
They're all between eighty and one foot in the grave.
Something that's been happening with the Democratic Party. I mean,
this has been ongoing for a while. It was their
idea to bring in what is it at this point,
about forty million Third worlders because oh, great news, they're
voting nine to one for us. Well, it didn't occur
to the Democrats, but at some point the third worlders

(55:10):
would want to vote for their own and that's exactly
what's happening. It's what you see across the country, and
with the younger Democrats coming up, and they're not only
Third worlders, they're they're quite enthusiastic about socialism, evencomonalism.

Speaker 2 (55:24):
You know, I never thought about that's a brilliant point.
So they've imported voters, but it turns out to be
from the kook wing of the party, the younger, more
crazy kind of voters.

Speaker 9 (55:35):
I thought, yes, and also the very un anti you know,
traditional white American voters. So the parties are really about
to diverge in the next decade into into racial categories
more than political ideology.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
Huh So, yeah, that's fascinating that the elders the mainstream,
then you got the young socialist kookie types, and then
there's also this other part of the Democratic Party, the
outrageous ones like the Chris Murphy you know you posted
that Chris Murphy declares that Trump was involved in a
child sex ring.

Speaker 9 (56:12):
How does he get away with saying things like this, Well,
you know, Trump has brought a lot of lawsuits and
a lot of defamation lawsuits. Senator Chris Murphy did not
say that on the Senate floor. He did not say
that with any congressional immunity. It seems to me it's
a pretty open and shutcase of defamation. SUMP should definitely

(56:34):
sue him.

Speaker 2 (56:37):
This CHRISTM. Chris Murphy doesn't have any money though, what
would you get out of him. It's not like suing ABC.

Speaker 9 (56:45):
Just fair point. It would be worth it to get
a victory against him. Yeah, and it is. I mean,
speaking of which, it's very odd how the Democrats and
the media is sole exclusive interest in the Epstein files.
Is okay, control f Trump, control f Trump. They just
want to see where where Trump is mentioned. You know,

(57:07):
I was treating and sub attacking about a lot of
the emails that came out when Republicans released all those
documents last week. Really embarrassing for Michael Wolfe, really really
embarrassing for Cannon Star, and the greatest published humiliation I
think I've seen in my entire life against former Harvard

(57:27):
president Larry Summers. Are totally hilarious.

Speaker 2 (57:31):
And who Biden administration advisor as well, Larry Summers.

Speaker 9 (57:37):
Oh yes, yes, absolutely, also also of Amah.

Speaker 5 (57:40):
Right.

Speaker 9 (57:41):
Anyway, the Trump mentioned and yes, Trump the headlines. It's
curious the headlines are all you know, Trump mentioned one
million times in Epstein emails. Yeah, but none of them
are Trump emailing Epstein. It's Epstein who obviously has a
hard arm for this guy. He's upsetted and and and

(58:02):
he's all.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
Over the map.

Speaker 9 (58:04):
It's he's crazy, he's a loser, probably on drugs. He's
he's like a mobster. Ooh, the things I could tell
you about him. Do you want pictures of him standing
in my in my in my kitchen with with young
girls and bikinis. I could take him out right now,
but mostly one one journals like Michael Wolfe ask ask Epstein.

(58:26):
I'm interviewing Donald Trump. What should I ask him about?
Does he say anything about the girls?

Speaker 4 (58:30):
You know?

Speaker 9 (58:30):
He does not? Does he ever produce those photos, those
alleged photos he has, No, he does not. Heeps going
after Trump for the financial stuff. And as I said
in my In My In My sub Sect podcast last week,
I think I finally figured out why Trump is so
invested in keeping these these filestream coming out. I don't

(58:51):
think anyone thinks he was biddling little girls. I do.
I do continue to think that it has a lot
to do with his donors and perhaps important a lot
involved in diddling little girls. But reading through Epstein's emails,
I recalled how very sensitive our president is to anyone

(59:12):
not liking him, and how desperate he is to win
over libal elite, like the interview with Bob Woodward, like
sucking up to the New York Times, like calling Maggie
Haberman every day. Hopefully a little of that has worn
off since they spent four years pursuing him, prosecuting him,
bringing civil lawsuits against Hi, accusing him of everything under

(59:34):
the sun. But that is his instinct, crazy for anyone
to say something mean about him, And you know, a
normal person would think, oh, look, this pedophile.

Speaker 5 (59:44):
Doesn't like me.

Speaker 9 (59:45):
Good for me. Now. Trump doesn't want people reading anyone
saying something bad about him, And he knew Epstein hated
him and would be denouncing him in emails to do
everyone he knew, which is exactly what he was doing.
Like I say, as with others, as with me, as
with Peter Teel mentioned in the Epstein files, there's no Epstein,

(01:00:06):
There are no emails going back to Epstein. He keeps
talking about us, or, in the case of Teal, emailing
emailing emailing, hoping to strike up a friendship that doesn't
seem to be going through.

Speaker 2 (01:00:19):
Yeah, it's right, I saw your name of the Epstein files.
What was it exactly?

Speaker 9 (01:00:23):
I forgot he was upset about a column I wrote
about him. I mean, I've been writing about this since
two thousand and six because this was I mean, okay,
Julie Brown's Pulitzer Prize winning series in the Miami Herald. Okay,
good for her. It finally got the liberal media interested
in the case. But basically everything, the most important stuff
she ran, had already been produced by the Palm Beach

(01:00:45):
police in two thousand and six, and it was ignored,
buried by the Democratic VA. Barry Frisher, state Attorney of
Palm Beach, he's the one who gave Epstein the flap
on the wrist. But all of this information was out there,
was in the Palm Beach Post, it was in the
police records, and the only national media I could ever

(01:01:07):
get interested in it was Bill O'Reilly Bless his hearts.
So yeah, I've been I've been following this case for
a while, and that did not make Jeffrey epsteem happy.

Speaker 2 (01:01:18):
Yeah. You know, the other fascinating thing when you watch
all these emails and texts back and forth with all
these people, especially during the first Trump administration, they're going
down to the White House and he's advising them, you know,
don't talk to Jared. Make sure you see this is
the person, this is the one who you should talk
to there. And he's wrong about everything. So I guess
he was trying to pretend he still had some knowledge
of Trump, which he didn't. Trump had cut him off years.

Speaker 9 (01:01:39):
Before, so it only had very little knowledge about anything.
I mean, from what from what we've heard, all these
you know, brilliant scientists and the great thinkers of the
world that he would bring together, you know, by by
buying them dinner, flying them private, bringing them together to

(01:01:59):
tom Run. Everyone says, you know, they'd have to listen
to this infant at the head of the table, throw
out roonic ideas for a few minutes, nod sagely, and
then just get back to the wheel discussion.

Speaker 2 (01:02:13):
Yeah, so you're right. Basically that was his relationship. You'd
make huge donations, lend them the plane when they needed it,
all that stuff. But it's great stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:02:23):
It's funny. Michael Wolfe is the only person at least
reading through the emails who seems to think that Jeffrey
Epstein actually has valuable information to in part.

Speaker 2 (01:02:36):
That's a good point. Well, everybody follow and culture on Twitter,
and make sure you've become a subs substack subscribers. You've

Now back to the Mark Simon Show on wor.

Speaker 9 (01:03:27):
Well.

Speaker 2 (01:03:28):
Stock market down again, It's been down every day this week.
It's a couple of reasons. One is weakening economy, not
in the US, but in China. Weakening Chinese economy. That's
got Wall Street a little spooked. And the other thing
is they believe now that AI is a bubble. They've
all convinced themselves there's a terrible AI bubble about to burst.

(01:03:50):
And that kind of group think can bring the market down. Well,
I mean, listen, better have it come down now then,
I mean it could be right, it could be an
actual bubble that bursts. You got that. Tom Steyer, the
billionaire Democrat, is going to run for is it president?
I don't know what hell he's running for. He's running
a governor something. Anyway, this is one of these billionaires

(01:04:13):
that wants to be in politics. And remember he's one
of the big, big billionaire donors and he always tell
you these guys get everything wrong when it comes to politics.
They're brilliant in their own fields, absolute idiots when it
comes to politics. So he will waste a lot of
money and consultants will make a fortune off him with
this campaign. Hey, we're out of time. I'll be back
