Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now on the Voice of New York.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
So markim own show on seven tenor.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
I've been gone a few days. A lot has happened.
We'll go over all of it and bring you all
the latest, all the inside scoop on everything. And Thanksgiving
is over with, Thank God, it's enough with that Thanksgiving.
Now it's the Christmas season. The tree is gonna get
lit this week, so my, but it's going to be

(00:31):
a big week with all this Christmas stuff. And it
looks like more tourists than ever are coming to New York.
In fact, people tell me they're trying to get a
hotel room in New York City right now in the
next couple of weeks, and it's absolutely impossible. So that's
good for New York. That means tourism, which is a
major major source of revenue, is way up. And real

(00:53):
estate people tell me people are buying and there's no
shortage of customers showing up wanting to buy something in
New York. So despite Mom, Donnie, new York looks pretty good.
Looks like everything's going to be great this coming year. Also,
remember affordability. I love to talk about affordability. These Democrats. Meantime,

(01:15):
they're the problem when it comes to affordability. Taxing people
to death. The taxes that they put on you, especially
in any blue place like New York City tax, property tax,
state tax, they just tax you to death, which is
basically a tariff. It's personal tariffs they're putting on you.
So nobody's tariffing you more than these Democratic lawmakers with

(01:37):
these policies and these taxes, and that's the affordability crisis.
Cut these taxes. Now, the President got that big beautiful
bill passed, and people complain about the economy. It's not great,
it's better than it was. Remember, we inherited in this administration.
They inherited a major, major mess. Inflation as high as

(02:00):
nine percent, and throughout the Biden administration averaged five percent.
It's now down to two and a half percent, heading
to two percent. But that won't happen till next year.
And here's the important thing to remember about the big
beautiful bill. It contained the largest tax cut in history.
And you might be saying, well, I don't feel it. Well,
it didn't kick in yet. It kicks in in January.

(02:22):
The big, big beautiful bill and the tax cutting, all
that doesn't start till twenty twenty six. So in January,
you'll get your tax cut, you'll get some relief, maybe
Thanksgiving weekend vacation. Everybody's off. Everybody, but not the fake news.
They were working twenty four to seven to try to

(02:43):
get President Trump in one way or another. Whatever they
can do. They latch onto every little thing. So the
latest one is Pete Hegxath giving his order to when
you blow up the drug boat, if there's any serve
floating in the water, blow them up to second bombing

(03:05):
kill them, which some legal analysts say would be war crimes.
It's a controversial thing. Now, the good news is there's
absolutely no evidence anywhere that this happened. You may well
bet that's all over the news. What do you mean
it never had Well, it all comes from one story
in the Washington Post. And in that story, and remember

(03:27):
this is the Washington Post, who all they do is
go after Trump day and Night's been going on for
ten years and ninety nine point nine percent of their
attacks on Trump turned out to be totally false. You
can check their record on that, and in this one,
they have absolutely no evidence of any kind. They don't
have a single source they can name, they don't have

(03:49):
a shred of evidence of any of this, So there's
no reason to think it's true. Exits that it didn't happen,
and I don't know. I would assume it didn't happen
because it's just there's no reason for it. And again
the Washington Post, if there were any evidence anywhere, if
anybody saw it, heard it, they would have had it

(04:09):
in the article. So they wrote this thing but with
absolutely no evidence. The President flying back to Washington last night,
was asked about it on the plane.

Speaker 4 (04:17):
We'll look into it, but no, I wouldn't have wanted that,
not a second strike. The first strike was very lethal,
it was fine, and if there were two people around,
but Pete said that didn't happen, I have great confidence.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
Yeah. So again, no evidence anywhere that had actually happened.
Although it doesn't matter of those crazy people in Congress.
They're going to hold hearings, investigations, there's that, but investigate
all you want, have as many hearings as you want.
There's no evidence anywhere anywhere that had happened. Now. The
other controversy that if you're watching these Sunday shows, they

(04:52):
were pretty desperate this weekend because it's Thanksgiving. Weekend, all
the big guests are away. You saw a lot of
Tim Waltz. Might have said to you, says, yes, it's
Tim Waltz. Everybody's putting Tim Waltz on TV. Is he's
making a big combay? No, No, there's just Thanksgiving weekend.
You couldn't get anybody. All the major names are away,
so you had to go to your B list and
they were away, and then you were down to like

(05:13):
the D list, and then the bottom of the barrel
was Tim Waltz. If you're watching the Sunday shows, the
guests all seem to have splinters all over them from
being in the bottom of the barrel, and that's why
you saw them. They they did go back. They're still trying.
You see what they've They've come up with something. They
come up with some plot like this Pete Hexath story,

(05:35):
and then they push it non stop around the clock,
day and night, morning, Joe, Rachel, Matt out of the
view every day, just keep John Stewart. They keep pushing it,
pushing it and pushing it. Finally, there's no evidence it
fizzles out. It's gone. We could go back and name
you have two hundred of these things and then about
seven eight weeks later they just give up. The other

(05:56):
one is this Democrats with the illegal orders. If you
get an illegal order from Donald Trump, you can refuse it.
We will back when you get an illegal order. Now,
there's never been any hint anywhere of anybody getting an
illegal order. It's a totally non existent, made up, fake problem.
But these Democrats, backed by sorrows, the Soros family, put

(06:20):
up a lot of money for this stuff. And now,
I mean they think this out, they plot this out.
If you get this all over the place, stir up
this controversy. There's no never been any even suspicion of
an illegal order anywhere. But if you start running this
stuff all and how people think, oh illegal orders. Wow.

(06:40):
So if I were the president, I would do it.
Right Back to Mark Kelly, I just start posting videos.
If you've been raped by Mark Kelly, you have every
right to contact the police. Just run these all over
the place. If you've been raped by Senator Mark, if
you've been sexually abused by Mark Kelly, contact the authorities.

(07:00):
Dial nine to one one of me. Now, there's no
hint that he's ever done such a thing, no reason
to think he's ever done such a thing. But if
you run this video enough and it gets played all
over the place, people are going to start to look
at him like he's a dangerous, weird, creepy guy. So
it's just creating this fake illusion that there's some kind
of illegal orders. There's no hint of it ever, nothing

(07:23):
like that has happened. Cash Battel FBI director, and a
lot of flack on him. Now a lot of this
is just made up. Some of this there might be
some validity to another president's taking keeping an eye on
cash Batel, just his management dis executive abilities within the FBI.

(07:43):
People say it's a little rudderless. He's good on some things,
other things he's a little sloppy. There's people upset with
you know, he's using private jets to go on vacation
and there's you know, playing golf too much, using a
lot of security security on his girlfriend, FBI guarding. This
is all a taxpayer expense. But there is some evidence

(08:05):
that there were death threats and the death threats went
to his girlfriend as well, so that would justify that.
The other controversy, Oh, this is another one they're going
to try. The president got his yearly physical and they
took an MRI. Now they're demanding to see the MRI.

(08:26):
And President Trump was asked about it. They thought they
had him. They're going to confront him. Will you release
that MRI? And he said yeah, okay, oh yeah, I'll
release it. Yeah, why not, which kind of stunned them.
It's not unusual, especially when you get older, if they
think they see something, you know, sometimes it's just a
spot on a cat scan or a actually got a

(08:47):
little spot, not sure what it is, so just for
just to be safe, theyll MRI it because that's more detailed.
It's usually something like that. There's no evidence that anything
serious happened in the MRI. You see. Oh the fight
to see this. They must see this. As if Jake
Tapper will know how to read an MRI, Well, we'll
get a doctor to yeah, you look, get one of

(09:08):
their fake CNN doctors. In fact, who's this Vin Gupta.
They've been using him a lot MSNBC. He's been all
over television. Check out my Twitter you'll see some very
funny video where he's saying, as a doctor, I'm looking
at the President Trump and he looks he clearly has
cognitive decline. I can see he's not functioning properly, doesn't
look good. So we got that video and then it's

(09:30):
cut together with a year ago where he's saying, Joe
Biden looks fine as a doctor. I can see he's vigorous,
he looks as sharp, and so you can't trust these MSNBC,
CNN doctor types, these fake news doctors. The National Guard
shooting course a horrific story over the holiday weekend. The
guy was a he had worked with the CIA, he

(09:53):
was a professional assassin in Afghanistan. It's believed that he
was radicalized, that he's to terrorism of some kind, and
that this was not just a guy when crazy and
started firing. This was some kind of a deliberate terrorist
attack plan to screw up everybody for the Thanksgiving holiday.

(10:14):
It happened the night before. They've got the suspect. He
was shot. They shot back and hit him. He's not
dead and looks like he'll survive, and that'll be a
hell of a trial. So we'll get into that in
more detail coming up. Frightening thing over the last a
few did frightening Andrew Cuomo speaking about something Somewhere in

(10:37):
the speech he hinted at a return and some interpreted.
What he was saying is that he might be running
for governor or Congress next year. Boy, you talk about
a guy with no self awareness at all, no clue
is how he's perceived by the public. The governor's race
is next year. He could run for that, or he

(10:59):
could run for congres. He could be a congressman, he
could be a Senator. I don't think he has any
chance of that. They don't like him in New York City.
When he ran for mayor, he had the biggest advantage
of any candidate ever. Nobody's ever had advantages like this.
They chased other people out of the race. They told
Adams to get out of the race. He got out.

(11:21):
They kept telling Curtis to get out. Curtis, being a
man of principal, did not get out. But everybody everywhere
was all over everything you could be watching or seeing,
telling you do not vote for Curtis, vote for Cuomo. Everybody,
including the President of the United States. So every voter
was being told by everybody on the air, online, everywhere

(11:43):
to vote for Cuomo. And despite that, he couldn't win
with all of that going for him, and he was
up against a complete left wing nut job and he
couldn't win, couldn't win at all, had nothing to do
with Curtis. You could have added every single Curtis voter
to his total and he still didn't come close. He
still would have lost by a number of points. So

(12:05):
that's New York City. Now upstate he's less popular. So
if he couldn't win New York City with every advantage
in the world, how's he gonna win upstate with no advantages.
So it's a ridiculous thing on his part. Now, either
he's just totally delusional, or it's also possible he knows
he can't win. But you put that out in the

(12:26):
air that you're gonna be running for governor senator, and
then all these people who you're looking at for a
job or for money, or you want them to hire
you as a lobbyist a consultant or give you a
big executive job makes you more attractive, and think, oh,
this guy might be governor, and better hire him. We
should put this guy on the payroll. He could be
the senator. So that might be the other reason he's

(12:47):
doing it. A lot of people yelling and screaming that
we have to have a Republican party in New York.
You need a two party system. The Democratic Party is
a huge organization apparatus, a lot of infrastructure, of amount
of workers, ground game, everything. The Republican Party is like
two guys part time in an office and nothing. There's

(13:09):
no Republican Party, nothing, nothing, It doesn't exist. So that
should be a goal actually for all the big Republican donors.
Create an actual Republican party with big, big, big personnel, infrastructure,
with a lot of clout. There's no Republican actual Republican parties,
a tiny little thing. Then you got these Republican clubs

(13:30):
that do absolutely nothing to help anybody. They just hold dinners,
try to get somebody from Fox to come be the speaker,
chase them around the room and take selfies with them.
It's usually just a bunch of old ladies. That's all
they do. It doesn't help any candidate anywhere in any election.
So creating a Republican party very very important.

Speaker 5 (13:51):
Here.

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Coming up, we'll get to Dick Van Dyke. How do
you live to be one hundred? He had some great lessons.
Oh welso, and yet no it's happening. We'll probably get
an announcement later. There's you know, casinos in New York.
There's three bids left for city casinos in New York
City and the gaming whatever they are gaming facility location board,

(14:18):
which why are we trusting these five people to make
the decision anyway, they're going to make the decision. Now,
there's three left, three locations left, and this board could
happen in the next hour or two. We'll make the decision.

Speaker 6 (14:32):
Now.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
They could decide to have all three have the casinos.
They could pick one or two, or they could decide no,
none of them, and then if they don't get through
this hearing, that's pretty much the end of it. One
of the casinos, Steve Cohen big a casino with it's
not just a casino, you want to think a hotel,
a concert venue, everything. It would be right a clo
across from City Field, and then the other one would

(14:56):
be in the Bronx. That's the one I would go
with because it's a you know, when you go over
the throgs Neck, there's a golf course there that was
the Trump golf Course, and because of Trump's arrangement syndrome,
they may take the name off it. Now it's valleys.
You could put one there because it might help the Bronx,
But I don't know how does it help really? It

(15:19):
brings in a lot of people over there over the
throgs Neck, But if you go right over the throgs Neck,
that whole area there seems to be pretty much a
big residential neighborhood. Why would they want a casino in there?
Then the other bit is aqueduct racetrack in Queen's they've
got slot machines. This would be to go full casino everything,
you know, tables and showrooms. But again, do we really

(15:45):
need that? Who needs that? You know? The silliest one
was Times Square. Now go to Times Square tonight at midnight.
It's packed, you can't move, it's mob there's lights and
stores and everything and a million people. I mean, nobody
would stand there in that crowd. It would take you
an hour to fight your way through the crowd. Nobody
would stand and go, huh, you know what this needs?

(16:06):
A casino. Usually put the casino where it's empty and
dead and you're trying to bring it back. You don't
usually put it in a place where it's two crowded
to begin with, and it's going twenty four hours a
day non stut Anyway, We've got a lot to get to.
We'll get to Mom, Donnie, We'll get to Luigi Mangion,
We'll get to Black Friday. It looks like it was
the best one ever on record. So you know, when

(16:27):
you see these surveys of people the consumer confidence wait wait,
waitit way down. Don't go by what people sometimes get
conned to say things in a pull. The fact is
they spent more money this Black Friday than ever, so
that tells you more than the opinions do. We'll take
some calls in a minute. Eight hundred three to two
one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three

(16:49):
to two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Give woor oh, Bri said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in and
indell back to the Mark Simo Show on WR.

Speaker 3 (17:06):
Hey, let's take some calls. Eight hundred three to two
one zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to
Joe in New York City. Joe, how you doing New.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
York City mayor election? Mark? Mark the next one. We
need help from Brooklyn Vincent to go get rid of
that communist moment. Danny. We don't Wanni, I mean, we
need Elder Statesmen spokesman Vincent.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Well, actually, you know, you bring up, believe it or not,
in all that mess there, you just said there was
a point in there somewhere. We got to go back
to getting like real serious people to run for office.
You know, it used to be serious types. You know,
Rudy Giuliani with a ton of experience, an incredible resume,
or even you know David Dinkets. You might say, wow,

(17:51):
I wasn't a great mayor, but you know a couple
of decades in public service and a very well spoken, articulate,
reasonable sort of a man, George Pataki, and eat people
like that. Now, look at the people you got running
for office. Mam Donnie's twelve years old, he became a
citizen a couple of months ago, never had a job.
You got people even worse, believe it or not. You know,

(18:13):
Mam Donnie. When he leaves the Assembly, somebody's got to
run for a seat. You should see the three candidates
that were running. They're crazier than Ma'm donnie. They're more left,
more ridiculous than so. I don't know. Well, we'll get
into this later. What happened to the Democratic Party and
why this is happening. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing. Good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.

Speaker 8 (18:36):
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving break.

Speaker 3 (18:40):
Yeah. You know, the people say, boy, you should never retire.
If you had nothing to do all day, it's awful.
You know what, it was great, It was phenomenal. I
enjoyed having nothing to do. But go ahead, it's nice.

Speaker 8 (18:50):
It's nice doing nothing all day. I was going to
point out that the Democrats have two things that they're
very cunning about. One is, I'll put a topic out there,
such as the illegal bombing of the speedboat drug dealers.
They're not Fisherman in its speedboats.

Speaker 9 (19:03):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (19:04):
And then Republicans take the bait and they go, wow,
we'll hold you know, we'll hold an investigation and we'll see.

Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, it's not Republicans taking the bait. Even in the
Republican Congress, you got a lot of them that hate
Donald Trump. They're looking for trouble. So it's like this
Andy McCarthy, great guy, Andy McCarthy, brilliant guy, but he
hates Trump. He hates Trump. So whenever he writes an
opportunity to pounce, Andy McCarthy takes it.

Speaker 8 (19:27):
Otherwise, and the other the other thing they do is
they have their little group of guys. So now this
you know, the flavor of the monks. This is Mark Kelly.

Speaker 10 (19:36):
You know when it's you.

Speaker 8 (19:37):
Know, it used to be Adam Schiff for Jamie Raskin
or Maxine Waters, and they put him out there and
they're just very devoutly stick to the script.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah, that's a good point, Mike Yea, thanks for calling
the thing with Mark Kelly. The way he looks, he
looks like a very serious, older, you know guy, like
an old pompous or not pompous, but a very somber
old guy, you know, traditional old sort of a guy.
And then you're like, oh, he's an astronaut, he was
in the military. That seems like a very old fashioned

(20:08):
sort of a So he was talking about running for president,
got nowhere. So now it's all different with him because
you see him all over television acting like a left
wing cook, like a flame throwing hate the president, left wing,
spewing hatred. Now that Democrats like him, Aha, this guy's great.
You know when he looked traditional, reasonable, no interest, Now

(20:28):
that he's like spewing nonsense and vishes hate. Now they
love the guy. Let's go to Jerry in Greenwich, Connecticut. Jerry,
how you doing.

Speaker 9 (20:37):
I'm doing well, Mark, thank you for taking my call.
I'm not joking. I'm eighty six years old, and I
would like to know if there is a college, a
special college for all these democrats to go and graduate
for lying to the American people. If there's a special college,
because haven't never heard so many people like.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Oh, you mean a special college to teach craziness lying
left wing. Yes there is. It's called Yale, it's called Harvard,
it's called Columbia, it's called it's every major ivy League college.

Speaker 9 (21:09):
I knew there was some college that they go to
learn to lie. Anyway, thank you, take a lot, have
a good day.

Speaker 3 (21:16):
All right, thanks for calling. Yeah, you know the problem is,
see the left wing, the crazy George Soros left it.
They're like the communist Chinese. They plot like one hundred
years out.

Speaker 11 (21:26):
You know.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
Republicans are all busy going to work every day. They
plot like two days out. You know, these democrats they
plot look for decades. So the plot years ago was
to infiltrate the colleges, get rid of the professor, put
in left wing professors, real left wing professors, then left
wing people on the board, to trustees, presidents, all that.

(21:46):
So they became these left wing communists and Doctrine Nations centers.
You send and you have so many people are afraid
to send the kid to college. You know, used to
your kid got accepted at Harvard, you like cry, You're
so happy. Now you cry because you're so scared he's
going to come back up a total communist. There's a
lot of these stories about a guy who fled Cuba

(22:07):
on a life round a raft and got to Miami. Somehow.
He's trying to escape communism, socialism. He came to America,
people like Jerry worked hard, became very very successful. Now
they're able to send their kid to Harvard. And this
guy sends his kid to Harvard. He comes back a communist, guess,
but his whole life trying to escape communism. His son

(22:27):
comes back a communists. But we'll get more into this.
What happened to the Democratic Party? How did it go
so far to the kooky left? A little later, Hey,
Michael Goodwin not with us today on vacation. It's Thanksgiving,
But we'll talk to the brilliant columnist Liz Peak next
on seven to ten WR, where.

Speaker 1 (22:46):
You your comes for common sense, Mark Simon on sevent
ten wor.

Speaker 3 (22:53):
Well, Liz Peak the brilliant columnists courch. You see her
all over television, and make sure you go to her
website where you get the best news and analysis. It's
lizpeak dot com and you can sign up. They'll email
you every day with all the latest great news, analysis,
all sorts of interesting stuff. Lizpeak dot com. Liz Peak.
How you doing.

Speaker 12 (23:14):
I am terrific. I'm recovering from Thanksgiving? How about you?

Speaker 3 (23:18):
I'm so glad it's over because I don't want one
more person. What do you do on Thanksgiving? Everybody has
the same stupid story. You know. I went to my sister,
we went to my uncle's, we went to my daughter.
It's all the same. It's like saying, what do you have?

Speaker 12 (23:32):
Yeah, what did you have for Thanksgiving dinner?

Speaker 3 (23:34):
Uh?

Speaker 12 (23:34):
Turkey?

Speaker 3 (23:36):
So hey, New York where you're talking about this? Apparently
you cannot get a hotel room in New York City
in the coming weeks. Real estate agents said, I got
tons of clients, So I guess people aren't afraid of mom. Donnie?
Should should we just figure things will be like de Blasio,
We'll get through it.

Speaker 12 (23:52):
Well, that's a good question.

Speaker 13 (23:54):
People are downplaying the radical team he is assembling.

Speaker 12 (23:59):
I mean it is radical, Mark, You've got to say.

Speaker 13 (24:02):
I mean, he's got someone newly appointed person to watch
to head up the transportation Department, who I guess is
anti car so that's a useful kind of credential for
figuring out how to improve our traffic. He's got an
education head who is viciously anti Charter, so that's not

(24:26):
very wonderful. I mean, if you just kind of look
at all the various things he's done, other than keeping
Jessica Tish the police commissioner, in place, I'd say pretty
much everything he's done is right out of the most
left wing handbook you could possibly write, and not very encouraging.
Are people basically looking past it? I don't think they

(24:46):
know what to expect, Mark. I mean, we had a
horrible mayor, build a Blasio for eight years, despised by
everybody I know and that you know, who had horrible policies,
wrecked a prosperous.

Speaker 12 (25:01):
Safe city, and he really did.

Speaker 13 (25:03):
I mean he came in after twelve years, twelve years
of Mike Bloomberg, who, whether you love Mike Bloomberg or not,
he promoted a safe city, prosperous city, attracted new industries
to our town, et cetera. And Bill Deblasio basically set
out to undermine all of that, which was just an
astonishing decision. So, you know, I think they're sort of thinking, well,

(25:25):
if we could survive de Blasio, we could survive this guy.
But you know, I think this guy's worse. I mean,
Deblasio was so kind of all over the place, yes,
ideologically left wing, but really really lazy and inefficient and incompetent.
This guy, who knows, maybe turns out to be more competent,
and that'd be really a disaster for us.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
Although everything we've just said is identical to de Blasio.
He had a transportation guy, he hated cars, he had
a yeah it was anti charter, and he brought in
a top police commissionerybody respected Bill Braddon, and most of
these people with Mam Donnie are ex Deblasio administration people.

Speaker 12 (26:03):
But that's true, That is true.

Speaker 13 (26:06):
I mean, really, other than Harvard hiring Deblasio to teach
courses there, which really just makes your head explode when
you realize that he was truly one of the worst
mayor for the city history.

Speaker 12 (26:20):
It's hard to find.

Speaker 13 (26:22):
Anyone who could really imagine that hiring the people left
over from his dreadful and by the way, somewhat corrupt
regime would be people you want to hire.

Speaker 12 (26:33):
But there you are. And it's not just Deblasio people.

Speaker 13 (26:36):
I mean also, Mam Donnie's hiring this has hired this person,
Lena Khan. Lena Khan is someone who has made a
reputation as being basically a anti big business. She was
part of the Biden administration and worked very hard to
undermine any kind of mergers and combinations that would work

(26:58):
for business, arguing that anything big was bad. So you know,
that's not a great sign, right in terms of his
interest in fomenting successful businesses in New York. I don't
think there's much you can sort of hang on to
here in.

Speaker 12 (27:12):
The way of good news.

Speaker 13 (27:13):
But you know, we all we always look forward to
something getting better.

Speaker 12 (27:18):
And I hope it does.

Speaker 13 (27:19):
I hope, I hope the cold water of reality washes
over this guy and his group and they realize that
they actually have to promote progress here and not just ideology.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
Yeah, hey, you were talking of this before the Big
Beautiful Bill had the biggest tax cuts ever. But people say, well,
I don't feel it, whereas it well, it doesn't kick
in until January, so once you get past the new year,
these tax cuts and other things kick in. So it
could be a very very good year for the Trump administration,
couldn't it.

Speaker 12 (27:50):
I think it will be, certainly.

Speaker 13 (27:52):
Kevin Hasseid, who's head of the Council of Economic Advisors,
Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary of all but they both
talked about of being a gangbuster twenty twenty six, And yes,
some of it is because of not only pro business
tax deductions and write offs and so forth that will
encourage investment by businesses, but also for people. I mean,

(28:14):
you're getting a bigger standard deduction, you're getting no taxes
on tips at a certain level. You know, there's a
lot of good news to come out of this tax bill.
It is really amazing to me mark how bad bad
Republicans are at promoting policies that have been in place,
like the Big Beautiful Bill. When it was last time

(28:35):
you ever heard of Republican in Congress actually extolling the
benefits of this. They're in a defensive crouch because Democrats
have been hammering away on how it's only a handout
for the rich. Mind you, any tax cuts are a
handout to people who pay taxes, and yes, that's probably
not the bottom forty percent of the country who pay

(28:57):
no taxes.

Speaker 12 (28:57):
So this is a bill that will help. I also
think that twenty twenty six, we're going to.

Speaker 13 (29:04):
Actually see the incoming money from companies and countries that
A vowed to spend a lot of money and new
investments in the United States.

Speaker 12 (29:14):
This is not a fiction.

Speaker 13 (29:17):
Democrats totally dismissed this, but you've had many pharmaceutical companies
saying they're going to build new facilities in America. Many
countries are coming here to build data centers and other operations.

Speaker 12 (29:29):
Factories are expanding.

Speaker 13 (29:31):
If you look on the website, the White House website
has a list of it, and it is hundreds of
billions of dollars.

Speaker 12 (29:38):
It's really impressive. Now are we seeing it right now?

Speaker 13 (29:42):
We are seeing I think I did a search recently
of new factories that are shovel in the ground. There
are maybe twenty of them underway now. Mark, that's going
to accelerate next year, and you're going to see the
benefits of that in terms of hiring, construction hiring, eventually
fact tree hiring, and also production.

Speaker 12 (30:02):
Here in the United States.

Speaker 13 (30:03):
Will it all be as labor intensive as factories in
the past.

Speaker 12 (30:08):
No, We're going to have.

Speaker 13 (30:09):
More AI, more robotics, but better here producing value added
than overseas. And I think I think, you know, coming
into the midterms, Republicans are going to need to have
a good economic story. I think there's a very good
chance they will have.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
Yeah. You know, years ago, we decided to outsource all
our manufacturing, and people argued, it's a nightmare as far
as defense. You know, we can't have all our weapons,
our medicines, everything made of It's got all kinds of
But I don't think we ever realized in the end,
as much as it might save money on manufacturing, it
would economically damage the country. So thank god for Donald

(30:46):
Trump right bringing it back.

Speaker 13 (30:49):
Yeah, and you know, Joe Biden talked about on shoring,
bringing stuff back to the United States, but really didn't
do anything to promote that, because what do you need
to do. You need to lower taxes, what did Biden do?
He raise taxes, You need to reduce regulations, what did
Biden do he increase regulation?

Speaker 12 (31:06):
So yes, the Trump story is a very good story.

Speaker 13 (31:09):
A lot of country companies in Europe and Asia are
looking at the United States and saying, hey, here's a
pro business administration. If we can come in there and
take advantage of again copious energy, low taxes, and regulation,
we want to be there. You know, talk to any

(31:30):
business manager in Europe. Operating in Europe is a disaster,
and you know, more and more the head of the
EU is talking about how they have to get in
line with the kinds of policies that we're adopting, because
otherwise they are dead. They are just basically dead in
the water. They're not growing. The United States is growing,
and that is the difference between poverty and productivity and profitability.

(31:55):
And Americans really can look forward to that. These aren't
just talking points. This is actually how the world works.
And if you look, there's been a fifteen year period
up through twenty twenty three where I think the United
States grew eighty seven percent and Europe grew about ten percent.
That is literally true, and boyd the difference in terms
of people's income, people quality of life is vast, and

(32:18):
Americans really kind of need to take stock of that
and count their blessings and say, yeah, you know, we
want to grow. We want to add jobs for people,
we want to add wealth to people. That's what makes
our country special. So I think, yeah, I think this
is all going to work. It's just right now. You know,
you have a lot of obstructionist judges slowing up the

(32:42):
works in terms of getting rid of regulation, and you know,
not all the states are on board to this. But
I think, honestly, the long term picture here is still
very very clear and very positive.

thanks for being with us.

Speaker 12 (33:18):
Hey, Mark, thank you for having me on.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
Take care, Take care, Hey. We got a lot to
get to in the next hour. And then coming up
at noon. I think everybody's back today, Buck and Clay
at noon today, they'll most listen to radio show in America.
You got Sean Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six,
and Jimmy Fayla. What a great show he does here
every night. You should check it out tonight nine o'clock
on seven to ten wr.

Speaker 2 (33:42):
Insight from the Inside. This is seven ten wrs.

Speaker 3 (33:47):
Marksmon Show. Hey, so in the next hour we'll get
to mom Donnie, we'll get to the how I'm nuts
going to get on a plane. Well, we'll get to that.
And Miranda Divine coming up on seven to ten.

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Marks Alone on or.

Speaker 3 (34:11):
WHOA. So I said, everybody's back, but I don't know.
Just walking down the hall there, it's kind of empty
here today. It looks like everybody's back here, a lot
of empty desks. Of course it's Monday. A lot of
people don't come in on Mondays anyway, at most places. Now,
all these stories all over the news about flights, delayed,

(34:31):
flight cancelations, big blizzard in the Midwest, snowstorm Midwest, snarling
up air, Well that's good because you can come back
a day late and say, hey, I couldn't get back.
I tried. Now he's speaking of weather. By the way,
you know, in Florida there are these hurricanes and then
every year these climate change green schemers would Hey, there

(34:56):
you go, that's climate change. That's why there's so many hurricanes.
Climate change. The reason is the fact that there's all
these hurricanes proves this climate change. Well, did anybody notice
hurricane Season's over?

Speaker 5 (35:07):
Now?

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Did anybody notice there wasn't a single hurricane in Florida
this year? They didn't have any hurricanes this year. So
according to left wing logic, that means no more climate change.
It must be gone. But anyway, airlines have you do
have weather difficulties, and also they've made such a mess
of everything. You can just sit there. You know, if

(35:29):
you've got a flight leaves at seven, you'll get in
at ten. You don't know if it's going to be
a m or PM by the time you get back.
So here's this woman on a plane who she stands
up in the aisle. You're not supposed to stand up.
They're stuck on the runway, they're going to have to
wait to take off. There's a delay. But she stands
up and the stewards comes and she starts yelling at

(35:49):
the stewardess, I'm standing up, and that's it. I am
legally I am allowed to do. And then it gets
out of hand and she calls the stewardess an effing
C word. You fill in the blanks there. You're not
supposed to do this, obviously, and you shouldn't talk like that.
But on a plane, and she looks across the aisle
someone is recording her with the phone and show. She

(36:12):
immediately stops and gets quiet. But they decided to throw
her off the plane because she was so vile. And
they're already on the runway in a delay, so they
turn around and head back to the gate to get
rid of this woman. That creates another hour delay and
everybody's it went viral. A million people have watched this
terrible woman saying these terrible things. But you shouldn't talk

(36:36):
like that. But it looks like there was a three
hour delay at the gate. Three hour delay at the gate.
Then they get on the plane and there's an hour
and a half delay on the runway. This is a
four and a half hour delay. At some point. You
have a right to get a little upset, don't you.
If you went to a restaurant and they made your

(36:57):
way to half hour, you'd be unhappy. Be half I
had to wait a half hour at the restaurant. Well,
if they said it's a three hour wait and then
you finally sit down, it's gonna be an hour and
a half wait for a waiter to come up, you
go crazy. Who would tolerate this from any business? Why
do airlines have a right to get away with this?
I mean, once in a while there's a terrible situation,

(37:19):
you're going to be delayed, But three hour delay at
the gate, then you get on the plane, it's another
hour and a half delay they whatever happened to that?
You know, all those fake Chuck Schumer proposals that never happened,
those Sunday press conferences. Whatever happened to the one about
the airline has to pay you if they do this
to you, if they have that kind of ridiculous, out
of control delay, they have to be fined. Whatever happened

(37:41):
to that? Like all the Chuck Schumer press conferences, it's
just talk to get on the news. Nothing ever happens
with it. The Oval Office, Look at it is a
Christmas tree? Big? Is that normal to put the tree
right in the Oval Office?

Speaker 7 (37:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (37:55):
I guess it is. But it's a Trump trees. It's
good ornaments. They're too shiny, too many life now, but
it looks good. It looks pretty good. Portland is now
in the hands of a crazy left wing kook socialist
democrat mayor. So they had their big tree lighting in
Portland and they had the big ceremony and everybody spoke

(38:18):
and there were songs and with this and speeches, and
a lot of people noticed they went through the whole
thing without ever mentioning Christmas. There was no hint of Christmas.
Looks like a Christmas tree, but they called it the tree,
not the Christmas tree. It was the tree. One speaker
Native American from the Something tribe. Next speaker was about

(38:38):
strong women. The next speaker talked about genocides. Funny how
the only genocide they know about is they claim they
claim there's a genocide, and guys, there isn't, but there's
actual real genocides are taking place in like seven places
right now in the world, Africa, other places, real genocides,

(38:58):
and the Left has no interest in it, doesn't even
mention it, pays no attention to it. There was another
speaker at the Portland serve Free Palestine, yelling and screaming
free Palestine. Why does this have to do with lighting
a Christmas tree. You got to give the Palestinians credit
for one thing. They have actually convinced these idiots on

(39:19):
the left. They have convinced them that they're a minority somehow,
that they're a little oppressed minority, oppressed by this big,
massive empire called Israel. It's actually pretty funny if you
think about it, think about how ridiculous it is. Israel
is the little minority being oppressed by the Arab Empire,
which is massive, massive countries and the biggest population, largest,

(39:44):
one of the largest empires in the world. So it's Israel.
Democrats keep forgetting this. Israel is the minority. Israel is
the little oppressed victim of all of this hatred and
anti Semitism. So, hey, Dick Van Dyke is going to
be one hundred. I'd love you know every Sunday night.
You ever watched me TV on Sunday nights? Pretty good?

(40:05):
It's like for all in the families, back to back
before anything was politically correct. You can't believe this stuff
was on television and then at eleven o'clock it's Dick
Van Dyke reruns. Boy, the guy was amazing that Dick
Van Dyke Show. An incredible dancer. I remember once on
this very show, Dick Van Dyke was the guest and

(40:26):
he said he got a call from a little guy.
Told the story, but he said, years ago, a little
guy named Michael Jackson called me and asked me if
you could come over to my house and get some
dancing lessons. So Van Dyke gave Michael Jackson dancing lessons.
He was an incredible dancer, great Broadway star. Bye Bye Birdie,
Dick Van Dyke. That's how I got the Dick Van

(40:48):
Dyke Show. That's what put him on the map. But
he's one hundred years old and a lifetime of dancing
can help you. You know. It's an athletic kind of thing.
But here's a guy who had a smoking problem, drinking problem,
all this stuff. But he's a hundred. How do you
get to be one hundred?

Speaker 14 (41:03):
He was asked, I feel really good for one hundred,
you know, but I really don't. I have no pain,
no discomfort. People say, what did you do right? And
I say, don't ask. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (41:17):
Yeah, you know, usually these dancers you talk to Rock Catzer,
you know, Broadway dancers. Once they're over forty, they start
to get all kinds of arthritis, aches, pains, back, this
from the dancing. But if you really knew what you
were doing, knew how to train and stretch them, and
you can avoid all that. Vantic one hundred years old,
still going strong.

Speaker 14 (41:37):
People say what did you do right, and I say,
don't ask.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
I don't know.

Speaker 14 (41:42):
I think I've always done that. Anger is one thing
that eats a person's in size and hate, and I
never really was able to work up a feeding of hate.
You know, there were things I don't like, people I
don't like and disapprove of, but I never really was
able to do a white age kind of age. I

(42:04):
think that is one of the chief things that kept
me going.

Speaker 3 (42:08):
That's good advice. A little hatred dis guy. I like
hating some people, but he's right, don't get crazy angry.
It's just there's fun hatred to do it in a
fun way. I mean Trump arrangement syndrome. That's like really anger,
But hating Biden it's kind of fun, you know, just
making fun of him. You don't really hate him, you
just like to make fun of him. What other advice
does Van Dyke Haster.

Speaker 14 (42:28):
We're singing is the best thing you can do for yourself.
Usually I'll wake up with an old tune going through
my head. They call her fivolous South, a peculiar sort
of a goal a while sort of devil. Ooh, dead
on a level was my old.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Pal uh okay, But this guy was a professional singer.
This guy was a Broadway musical comedy star singer. If
you're a professional singer, it's okay for the rest of you.
Don't do it when we're listening. Don't please, don't sing
when we're around. If you're alone in the car, the shower, fine,
but there's nothing more annoying than a bad amateur singer.

(43:04):
But good for him. One hundred and I'm trying to
think who else. Are there any other major stars that
are one hundred years old? Big big stars? I don't
think so. And there were all those guys, Bob Hope,
George Burns. They didn't quite get there, you know, like
ninety eight, ninety nine. But usually they took a bad
fall and that's where it went downhill. Although Hope, Bob

(43:27):
Hope had a guy that took care of what was
his name, Charlie, And by the time he was ninety eight.
He couldn't really go out. He would sit at home
watch TV all day. Charlie would sit with him, and
do you remember one day there was a false alarm,
a false story about him dying. Well, Hope was actually
watching TV. We had CNN on. He's watching it and

(43:49):
the guy comes on the anchoring says, this just in
comedian Bob Hope is dead at the age of ninety eight.
And Hope turned to Charlie and goes, that's not true.
It still had a great sense of humor. Bob morganh
he almost made a hundred. I think he was a
month or two short. I remember we had one hundredth
birthday party for I remember m seeing his one hundredth

(44:11):
birthday party and another guy who was always in great shape.
It worked, I think, right up until the end, doing
one thing or another. So hey, we're talking about this
before the three casinos. The hearing was today on the
final three casinos. Looks like all three got approved, all
three approves. You're gonna get a big casino and a

(44:33):
concert venue and hotel, the whole thing right across from
City Field, a lot of a lot of area. Now
what does that mean. I'm gonna lose a lot of parking. Obviously,
we'll become a parking garage. There are people that live
around City Field. The traffic will be worse than ever.
Not to mention, you got LaGuardia right near there, so
the City Field will get its casino. The other one

(44:56):
is Bally was It was the Trump golf course in
the but I forget what you call throgs Neck or
wherever that is. As soon as you come over the
throgs Neck Bridge, there'll be a big casino there. And
what's the other one, aqueduct aqueduct where there's already slot
machines and all that, you'll get a casino. Three casinos

(45:16):
in New York. Now, I don't really care. I don't
go to casinos. I don't really but I would think
this is very bad for Atlantic City, which is not
doing as well as they'd like. So what happens is
you lose your New York customers. If they got three casinos,
they can go to here, they're not going to Atlantic City.
You know, a lot of people still go to Las

(45:38):
Vegas because it's a vacation. You're out in the desert.
It's a whole different environment. Atlantic City is not exactly
the most scenic. It's not exactly Paris, so you don't
need to go there. This will also be bad for
Mohegan's Sun and Foxwoods because I would guess a lot
of New York City people. But that's that's probably not

(45:59):
a ad chunk of their business. Most of their business
probably from Boston, Providence, that sort of stuff. But all
three casinos were approved. They got to be finally approved
by the state. Whatever. But that should happen, mom. Donnie
hey the fire commissioner, as he was the first one
to resign. Robert Tucker, great guy, wonderful guy, and a

(46:22):
very successful guy in the private sector with a big company,
so he doesn't need to be the fire commissioner. You know,
a lot of these guys are public servants. They can't
do anything in the real world for a living, so
they cling to it. Not Tucker. He resigned right away
and didn't want to say much. But it's getting towards
the end. He's leaving. Here's Tucker.

Speaker 15 (46:41):
I believe that the things that I have heard the
mayor say would make it difficult for me to continue
on in such a senior executive role in the administration.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Yeah, so you hear more and more of this as
people leave the administration. The new people coming in are
for They all sound terrible on paper, they're awful. They're
most of them ex de Blasio people. So we you
forget we went through this with Deblasio. Nobody remembers go back,
and I got to go back and look at all

(47:13):
this shows we were doing back then. It was the
same exact conversation just before Deblasio took office about all
these left wing Kooxi was appointing and all the crazy
people who was putting in, and all the crazy ideas
he had. And he put in a traffic commissioner who
hates cars, and he put in a school person who
hates charter So it's the same thing we're doing going

(47:34):
through the same exact thing right now. In fact, it's
all identical. The one thing he did he put in
a one police commissioner everybody thought was good, which was
a Bill Bratton. That was the one good hire he
put in Bill Bratton. Of course Bratton didn't last long,
and then between Deblasio and Eric Adams, we had more

(47:57):
police commissions. You know, usually we're pretty stable on a
police commissioner. Although Dinkins went through a bunch of them.
But then you had Ray Kelly, who was the greatest
police commissioner ever of all time, and it was the
longest serving. I think it's I think eighteen years was
the totally I mean, he's Babe Ruth and he's lou

(48:18):
garrig in that he had the like the longest longevity record,
so it was amazing. Then you got the Blasio, Eric
Adams was I can't even let's see if anybody can
remember all the commissioners, Bill Bratton, Dermott, Shay, who's the
other guy, James O'Neill. Then there was Keisha Suwell, and

(48:39):
there was Eddie was that the policemanier, Eddie Corone, Eddie Cardell.
I can't even remember them all. Then there was who's
that guy for about six months ex fed guy, nice
guy McDermott whatever, No, not McDermott, Donnelly. He was a
very nice guy, but then he was gone. And then

(49:00):
they go right from that to Jessica Tish. I think
we had like eleven commissioners in two months. It was
the worst period for the NYPD, just all these changes
going on. So anyway, the Democrats we're talking about this
before the transformation the Democratic Party has gone through. If
you went back in, you know, ten years ago, it

(49:21):
was like Bill Clinton type Democrats. You know, we have
a kind of a liberal policy on taxes, on this,
on that. It went from that to totally insane, off
the wall crazy. They'll defend the National Guard shooter, They'll
defend the drug cartel boats. They'll defend illegal criminals all

(49:41):
over New York. You illegal aliens, the gang members, rapist
they'll defend that. I mean, just crazy. And as we said,
part of the problem is the colleges went crazy over
the decades, going so far to the kooky socialist left.
They became in doctrination camps for these socialist I mean.
The other factor was the Biden deministration of the Democrats.

(50:06):
Democrats have been doing this for years, but the Biden
wmistration really went crazy, letting in tens of millions of
illegals Third World all that tens of millions of illegals.
Because their research showed that these people would vote nine
out of ten would vote Democratic. So if you let
in twenty thirty million of them, you can change the elections.
There'll be all these new Democratic voters. That was the plan,

(50:30):
but like most democratic things, it backfired on them entirely because, yeah,
they will vote democratic, but not for establishment Democrats. Chuck
Schumer looks like an old dinosaur to them. They'll vote
for third world left wing kook type Mamdani types. They're
not going to vote for Kristen Gillibrand, they're not going
to vote for Bill Clinton. They're not going to vote

(50:50):
for any of these old fossils. They're going to vote
for a whole new breed of left wing crazy Democrats. Hey,
Miranda Divine will be with us in a few moments.
We'll take some calls. Next eight hundred three to two
one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred three
two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Here's more, Mark Simone on seven gen WR.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Let's take some calls. Let's go to Jim in Southbury, Connecticut. Jim,
how you doing.

Speaker 5 (51:18):
I'm doing pretty good much.

Speaker 11 (51:19):
I hope you are too.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
Am I like Southbury.

Speaker 5 (51:22):
I've never called a talk show host or a talk show.

Speaker 3 (51:24):
We can tell Southberry is very nice. I love Southberry.
It's better we both talk at the same time. Safe time,
speed things up. No, I said, I love Southbury. It's
a very nice place. The middle of nowhere. But it's
very nice there.

Speaker 5 (51:37):
Kind of that, you know, and the great job that
you do. I look forward to listen to you every
day on wo R and it's really a highlight of
my morning. And I want you want to call him?

Speaker 11 (51:46):
Thank you?

Speaker 3 (51:47):
Well, thank you. Of course, if you're in Southburry, I
imagine this would be the highlight of you. But how
long you lived in Southbury?

Speaker 5 (51:55):
Very true?

Speaker 3 (51:55):
Yeah, No, it's very nice. I got a lot of
great restaurants. You got Mercado, you got Mixed Prime.

Speaker 5 (52:00):
Well, yeah, Marcarlo, Yes, I was just there the other night.

Speaker 3 (52:02):
Yeah, I know my way around south very it's very
nice there. That's uh. And it's convenient. It's only like
seven hours from civilization, but it's a very nice place.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
Exactly. It's an hour and twenty minutes from the city

Speaker 3 (52:12):
Sournes. Let's have an I want to see if you

Speaker 5 (52:23):

Speaker 3 (52:25):
All right, Jim, Well good call. Oh yeah.

Speaker 5 (52:27):

Speaker 10 (52:44):
Good morning, Mark, Mark, I'm okay. I hope you had
a I know you had a wonderful Thanksgiving Mark. President
Donald Trump said he's going to end the invasion from
the third world COUNTRYWIDS. He says, these asshole countries which
bringing us all these terrors. Let's tell things like it
is in order for him to do that, and please

(53:05):
plesident from I know you talked to mister Simone. I
know you listen to his podcast. Now that you have
all three branches of government overturned repeal the Heartseller Act
of nineteen sixty four, which reversed the previous immigration standards,

(53:27):
if I may say briefly, is now we take eighty
five percent of our new applicant for immigration from the
third World, whereas and fifteen percent from the countries we
used to like England, the British Childs, France, Italy and
Northern Europe. Now we take it from all the welfare countries.

Speaker 11 (53:48):
Mark. I don't know what I could do about Bondami,
but about thirty years ago, somebody put a bad hurting
on me.

Speaker 3 (53:57):
You mean, what what do you mean?

Speaker 11 (53:59):
Well, I'm not at liberty to speak more, but I
will say this. So when I got myself together about
two days later, went I, this applies to this terrorist.
He's never going to be able to go out in
the yard with the general population. He's going to stay
in solitary confinement until they execute him. So I went

(54:23):
to my cousin, who was the godfather of the neighborhood.
I said, I went into the nightclub where he was.
We went in the kitchen. He threw everybody out of
the kitchen, and I said, Cousin, Frankie, I said, such
and such happened to me. Baba Bye, he heard about it.
He said, yeah, kid, he says, what do you want?

(54:44):
I said, Frankie. I said, it's rumored that he's going
to federal lock up. That he had signing that he
had to turn himself into the marshalls two days ago,
and that's why he did the move on me. I said, Cousin,
he's room to go to this federal prison in Jersey.
I said, Frankie, who do we know.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Now, vicit We don't want to hear all the gory details.

Speaker 11 (55:09):
Do we know who's currently serving time.

Speaker 3 (55:13):
In that prisons can happen?

Speaker 11 (55:15):
And he said, Vince, he said, get back to me
for in a couple of days.

Speaker 3 (55:20):
I'll da wait. We better not go through the details.
But it's like Henry said, and goodfellows to his wife prison.
They could do even more to me there. I'm not
safe there either, So that kind of.

Speaker 11 (55:30):
Deal, I asked, And shortly thereafter he found out this
was a renegade crew. There were a bunch of young Turks.
They were making a move and I had he found
out who was what prison.

Speaker 3 (55:44):
We don't want to we don't want to implicate you
in anything.

Speaker 11 (55:46):
And and miss Stewart from South Carolina, I'll tell you
Mondommie's never gonna not Mondamie. This terrorist is never gonna
be That was the fortieth list.

Speaker 3 (55:57):
No, I understand, but Vincent, we gotta go do the news.
But good story. We don't want to hear the gory details.
But thanks a lot, next time, next time. All right,
we got to go because we got to do the news.
And then Miranda Divine will be with us next on
seven to ten.

Speaker 6 (56:10):
WR get instant access to Mark by setting a pre
set in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and
his podcast. Now back to the Mark Simone Show on
wor Well.

Speaker 3 (56:23):
The great columnist Miranda Divine. You should read her column
in The New York Post. Also get her best selling books.
The latest one is The Big Guy. There's no better
book on Joe Biden Hunter Biden. You love it, big bestseller,
The Big Guy. And make sure you listen to a podcast.
It's become one of the top podcasts in the world.
It's called pod Force one all sorts of great guests,

(56:45):
including Donald Trump. You can listen to that wherever you
get your podcasts. And she's with us now, Miranda Divine.

Speaker 16 (56:50):
How you doing, Hi, Mark, I'm doing really well. Happy
belated Thanksgiving to you.

Speaker 3 (56:56):
Yes, I missed our Thanksgiving dinner, but I assume let
me get actually had turkey.

Speaker 11 (57:02):
Yes, thank you.

Speaker 3 (57:04):
Look at that. I'm like esp so, hey, your column
today quite a column about Cash Patel. I mean, he's
a nice guy. I like him, but he's obviously not
Jack Welch when it comes to running an organization, is he.

Speaker 7 (57:19):
Well?

Speaker 16 (57:19):
Look, this is kind of that unfortunate medicine that sometimes
has to be doled out to friends. And this is
from friends, really people who wanted Cash Pattel to succeed.
These seasoned FBI people, insiders, people serving, and also retired

(57:44):
high level operational people who you know I've talked to previously.
They've done reports on the FBI and how it's going,
and it's been very unflattering under Christopher Ray. But they've
just done one on the first six months of Cash
Pattel's direction to ship and it's also unflattering. And you

(58:04):
know it's there are various criticisms saying that it's rudderless
and that it's just you know, Cash Btelli's in over
his head and ought to listen, I think to these
critics who are on his side. I think he and
Dan Bongino, his deputy, are very thin skinned. They I

(58:28):
know personally they don't take kindly to criticism, but they
ought to listen to it because you know, they are
in several cases going down the wrong track. In some
cases they've done well, like this report from this alliance
of FBI people both serving and forma says praises them

(58:54):
for things like eradicating de or you certainly getting rid
of a lot of d I waste of time, policies,
but you know, they also are pushing against a very
difficult resistance inside the FBI, which has been staffed with

(59:15):
a lot of lefties in recent times. This report actually
reveals that a lot of ex teachers were recruited who
are left leaning, and that the television sets in FBI
field officers are tuned permanently into either ms NBC Now
in this Now, and CNN, but never to Fox News.

Speaker 3 (59:39):
That's not a good sign. What happened to old fashioned
FBI agent who generally was a conservative type of guy,
a law enforcement guy. I guess they're do we blame Comy?
His years really kind of just destroyed and transformed the
FBI in the worst possible way.

Speaker 16 (59:58):
What I'm told by these guys that it actually predates
the rot predates Comy even under Muller. For whatever reason,
he decided that he wanted to recruit more university graduates,
and that was when the Woks started creeping in. And
you know, then under Comy things got even worse. And

(01:00:22):
this obsession with DEI really and wopifying the place really
gummed up the works, and a lot of good people
who had been honorable and upright people just basically quit,
they took early retirement, or they just retired out. And
so you know, I mean, no one would envy Cash

(01:00:46):
Bottel and Dan Longino for the FBI that they've inherited.
But you know, it's already difficult enough to affect change
and fix the corruption in that organization without you know,
having a whole lot of unthrift errors. And some of
the criticisms that are made from the inside are actually

(01:01:10):
evident from the outside. You know, their obsession with social media.
One of one source in this report says they need
to stop talking, stop posing, just be professional, and others
said they are spending too much time on social media
and public relations and are too often concerned with building

(01:01:33):
on this resume. So, you know, it didn't even go
into the stories about Cash Battel over using the FBI
jet and other criticisms that have been made in you know,
the New York Times and places that you would expect
to have negativity. This is really just a couple of

(01:01:54):
anecdotes to show that Cash Btell in particular is just
not handling this properly and seems to be in over
his head. So it's not about trying to get rid
of Cash Pttel. It's about saying to him, sort of
shaking him and saying, look, behave a little bit differently.

(01:02:16):
Listen to your people who are trying to help, who
have a lot of experience, and you might not make
these blunders.

Speaker 3 (01:02:24):
Yeah, well, it's interesting stuff. Read the column. It's in
Today's New York Post. It's up on the New York
Post website. Hey, Miranda Devine, we talked about this last time,
Trump derangement syndrome, and since then a bunch of psychiatrists
psychotherapists have written articles. It's kind of what you said,
this raging hatred for Donald Trump. I mean, if you
don't like him, it's fine, But the raging hatred, it's

(01:02:45):
more about you than about Donald Trump, the person who
has it, and it's revealing something inside, right, some something
that's it says more about the person than about Donald Trump.

Speaker 16 (01:03:00):
You think, yes, I agree. In fact, Jonathan Alpert, who's
the psychiatrist who wrote a piece in the Wall Street
Journal last week, he's contacted me and we're probably going
to do something together on this because he's saying, well,

(01:03:20):
you know, he's seen so many patients that have brought
Donald Trump into therapy to you know, he says their
distress is real, and it aligns with sort of obsessive
compulsive disorders. They have persistent intrusive thoughts, emotional dysregulation, impaired functioning,

(01:03:45):
sleepless nights, compulsive news checking, physical agitation. They can't stop
thinking about Donald Trump even when they try. They interpret
his every move is a threat to democracy and to
their own safety and control. Like, I mean, this sounds
really sick. And I wonder, actually, and I'm going to

(01:04:06):
ask him about this. I wonder if people are not
getting this almost deliberately implanted. I know, this sounds crazy
by their therapists, because I find, in my experience a
lot of people who have therapy it doesn't seem to
make them better or happier or less anxious, because if

(01:04:28):
it did that, then they would stop going and therapy
would then lose a customer. So I feel like maybe
therapists and a lot that I've seen are Trump deranged
or anti Trump. So maybe, you know, they need to
heal themselves before they can heal their customers. And you know,

(01:04:50):
Roseanne Rosie o'donald, she said at one point in one
of her silly social media posts about Trump. She said
that her therapist said maybe you should just like stop
thinking about him such and Rosie was furious with.

Speaker 3 (01:05:05):
A therapist, Well, it is a little crazy. Hey, Your podcast,
Podforce one is excellent. Everybody should listen to. Go listen
to every episode of Podforce one. You'll love it. Who's
on the next episode.

Speaker 16 (01:05:21):
Thanks very much, Mike. On Wednesday, we have Senator Ron Johnson,
who is one of Congress's most ferocious investigators. He is
most fixated on holding government to account. He does oversight,
especially of the FBI. He was the one with Senator

(01:05:42):
Chuck Grasley, his partner in crime, in uncovering abuses of government.
They did the original Hunter Biden corruption investigation that was
then shut down and sabotaged just Russian disinformation in twenty
nineteen before we've even got Doune to Biden laptop. So

(01:06:04):
that was when my eyes opened to how honorable those
two are.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
And speaking of that, get the book The Laptop from Hell.
It's a great bestseller, and her latest book is The
Big Guy. Get these two books. Go read her column.
It's on the New York Post website and listen for
Podforst one. The new episode coming Wednesday. But listen to
the old episodes. You love them, Miranda Devine, great stuff,
Thanks for being with us, Curs. Thanks Matt, take care.

Speaker 2 (01:06:49):
Most show on seventen woor Well today, Luigi Mangione in court.

Speaker 3 (01:06:56):
There's a fight over her evidence. There's a fight over
what could wear the court. They wanted to bring him
in in the prison outfit, but he was allowed to
come in dressed up, and he was dressed up very stylishly.
He's a good looking guy and fans, lots of fans
lined up outside the courtroom to support this guy. He's
an assassin shot the healthcare ceo. But if he asked,

(01:07:17):
these crazy left wing kooks, how could you justify it? Well,
the man he shot was a terrorist CEO of a
healthcare company. But it's bringing out even more the craziness
in the left wing right now. Hey, we're out of time.
I'll be back tomorrow ten to noon. Don't go anywhere,
stay right there because Buck and Clay excellent show. It's
coming up next. And I'll see you tomorrow at ten.
