Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now Seor presents Marks Emosha.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, I'm back, finally back. It's a long vacation. It
was like two and a half weeks, and I actually
love not working. I mean, I have a lot of
fun and plenty to do, but but that's enough vacation.
I can't take it anymore. It's good to be back.
I missed you. I hope you missed me, and Curtis
did a great job filling in. Everybody loved him. I
(00:35):
have not everybody. I would say it was ninety nine
percent favorable. All the comments and mail and everything we got.
People love Curtis and hopefully he'll be back here soon.
He did attack a few people there who are all
friends of mine, so but listen, he's got a right
to be a little upset with some people. But did
(00:59):
you notice I was listening here and there is he
For two weeks. I don't think he had one guest on, right.
I think his wife was on once, but that doesn't count.
For two weeks, not a single guest. That's impressive. That's
a sign of a great host. You can always tell
how good a host is by how many guests they
have on. If they open the show by telling you
twenty seven guests that are coming on. You know, it's
(01:20):
not that great a host. They can't fill the time
on their own, their guest dependent. Today. As soon as
the guest is done, our next guest is they got
to get somebody else. The guests have to do all
the talking. So you really got to be good at
this to do two hours, five days a week and
not have a guest on. So yeah, we have guests on,
but once an hour for a few minutes, just to
(01:42):
break it up a little. But we're not you know,
it's the whole first forty minutes of the hour, there's
no guests. We don't you don't want to be guest dependent.
By the way, coming up in our second hour, our
guest will be Rob Reiner. I found, you know, he
was a regular in this show for many years, so
I found a an interview or two of them, but
we'll play that out in the second hour. It's interesting
(02:03):
to listen to him because I know he was crazy,
insane with his politics, angry, crazy, over the top nuts
with the politics. But it's interesting. He was a great
guy in real life. He and I were friends. We
got along really well. I never talked about politics so
let me talk about we talk about Joey Bishop or
old show business or old comedians, but I just you
(02:23):
can hear the real hymn. We'll get to that in
the second hour. And it's a good lesson to learn
because you probably had the situation over the holidays with
your family at Christmas parties or whatever. Your uncle, your cousin.
They're great people, but when they talk about politics, they're
like childish, insane, crazy nonsense, childish, ridiculous. You know, this
(02:48):
Maduro stuff is a great example. For the last ten years, Democrats,
all of them, Chuck Schumer, Biden, that idiot Chris Murphy
from all of them, have been demanding that somebody do
something about Maduro, that they get rid of Maduro. You know,
in Trump's first term, all the Democrats attacked him for
(03:11):
not doing anything about Maduro. And it's all over Twitter.
You can see the videos, you can see the statements
from them. If you don't believe this, they all went
on camera on Twitter saying Trump is obviously in bed
with Putin because otherwise he'd be getting rid of Maduro,
who's Putin's puppet. They demanded that to get rid of Maduro,
(03:33):
Schumer Hakeem Jeffries. All of these people this video all
over Twitter. You can watch them screaming and yelling, gotta
get rid of Maduro. So Trump gets rid of Maduro
like that, they turn on a dime. It's unbelievable. They're
just going nuts defending Maduro. What happened at No Kings
(03:54):
Remember No Kings seventy seven days ago there was no Kings.
Well this one we like, you shouldn't have gotten rid
of this, and so it's absolutely insane behavior. But it's
really what it is, it's just being childish. They're just
like little children, screaming and yelling. Hey, you remember for
the whole year that been telling you over and over
(04:14):
and over and over and over again that Pete Hexath
is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. All
of them, all the Democrats in politics, all the Democrats
on television, have been telling you he's the least qualified
secretary of Defense. Hexath is not qualified, He's the most unqualified. Well,
for the last year, he has flawlessly executed the most
(04:37):
complex military operations anybody ever has dozens of them, from
the bombing the Iran nuclear reactors to the ticking out
the drug boats. To the seizing the oil tankers, to
capturing a world leader in his bed in the middle
of the night and getting him out of the country
and doing the whole operation in three hours. Not qualified.
(04:57):
This guy has been unbelievable at the military operations he's run.
Nobody's ever run these kind of operations. Look at the
last guy, Lloyd Austin, Biden's Secretary of Defense. One operation
just withdraw everybody from Afghanistan. Turned it into a chaotic nightmare.
They bungle it up so badly. Hegxath has been unbelievable. Now,
(05:19):
of course the media stays quiet about that. They don't
mention a word about it. I don't say anything about
it at all. Now we got the same thing with
the Minnesota fraud, the Somali fraud in Minnesota. It looks
like it that number might hit eighteen billion. That's been missing.
Tim Waltz just moments ago announced he will not seek reelection.
(05:41):
So if he had any doubts about that Minnesota fraud
being real, being more extensive than we thought, if he
had any doubts about how big and how real that
whole thing is, Tim Waltz just announced he will step
down from his campaign. There will be no campaign. He
will not seek reelection. Now, this is a guy who
(06:02):
was definitely going to run for a reelection. He was
on his way or in his crazy brain to twenty
twenty eight being candidate for president. But his political career
is now over. It's over. He cannot seek reelection. He's
admitted that he's dropping out of the race. He is
giving up politics. Hey, by the way, keep an eye
(06:23):
on Gavin Newsom. This affects him because everybody says that
as bad as this fraud is in Minnesota, it's far
worse and much much, much bigger in California. So this
will start to come out next and that will be
the end of Gavin Newsom's twenty twenty eight bid. He's
(06:43):
going to have a problem President Trump. Can you imagine this?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Still eight billion dollars that's just over learning about him.
Peters in California's horse, Illinois's horse and Santay new works.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, so wait till it get to California. That'll end Newsome.
And then they find it in Illinois. Well that's the
end of Pritzker. Now when he says New York is well,
that's because a mom, Donnie and all of this stuff
you and ever you get a socialist or a left
wing kook like this, a Deblasio type, money goes missing.
(07:16):
It happens every time. While they yell and scream about
the billionaires, meantime, billions go sideways and no one quite
knows where it goes. You know, and you got the
most corrupt media ever in the Deblasio administration. A billion
dollars went missing in this fake program he and his
wife set up. It was called Thrive NYC. And it
(07:39):
was supposed to take care of the homeless and it
actually had this is not a joke. It had programs
like yoga for the homeless, that kind of stuff. Well,
a billion dollars went into it, and nobody knows where
it went, and it's gone, it's missing, And of course,
the totally corrupt media Channel two, Channel four, Channel five,
Channel seven, New York Times, all that corrupt media never
(08:00):
ever looked into it. Oh, they mentioned it for a second,
but they never looked into it. There should be reporters
all over the place tracking down that money, hunting for
that money. So whenever one of these left wing kooks
gets in, one of these socialists, money goes missing, and
the other thing that happens is who suffers under them,
the homeless, the lower economic classes. They're the ones that
(08:24):
get hit the hardest by this nonsense. You know, Venezuela
is a great example. It was one of the most
booming economies in the world. It was thriving. It has
more oil than anybody on earth, just the oil revenue.
It was booming. Their economy was on fire. Everybody was
doing great in Venezuela. So they went socialist. When they
(08:44):
went socialist, when Chavez came in with his underling Maduro,
and then Maduro took over, they went socialist. Suddenly nobody
has any money, everybody's in poverty. That's what happens with socialists.
We look at them Poland it was just the opposite.
Under socialism, no money broke, the world's worst place to live.
Then they convert to capitalism, and now they're one of
(09:05):
the biggest economies in the world, huge economy, the biggest Japan.
It's booming and everybody is living better, doing better. That's
what happens. So now the good news in New York
is Mom Donnie as nuts as he is, as terribly
as we don't know what he'll be able to get done.
If anything, A lot of people think it'll just be
the third term of Deblasio. Third Deblasio term. We got
(09:28):
through that. It wasn't good, but we got through it
to we'll get through this. He had his inauguration, as
it called it, a block party. It was a great
block party. But if you want to just take a
look at what exactly are his management skills, look at
the block party. It was considered the worst party ever thrown,
(09:50):
just as far as managing it, the worst setup ever.
The block party was held in like minus five degree weather.
It had fifty thousand people to stand there, and there
were no food trucks, no food of any kind, no bathrooms,
no anything, and they were asked to wait. It started late.
(10:10):
It started like three hours late, so he had to
stand there. It was just horrendous. You know, you could
go to Times Square in New Year's even at least
there's a food truck every ten feet, there's a bathroom.
Well not a lot for that, but this was a nightmare,
an absolute nightmare. That's the way Mom Dannie runs things.
And of course the totally corrupt media gives him a
(10:32):
pass at all times. His anti Israel nonsense he killed
some executive orders to protect Israel, protect people from being attacked,
anti Semitic attacks. He got rid of those. Now he
claims they'll replace him with somebody else, But who would
trust him on that? And he talks about the protecting Palestinians.
(10:52):
There's never been an attack on a Palestinian anywhere in
New York. The Palestinians have not been attacked. It doesn't exist.
Anti Semitic attacks by the thousands, vicious, violent ones all
over New York. That's where the protection is needed. He's
just crazy about this.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Protecting Jewish new Yorkers is going to be a focus
of my administration. And I also know that a number,
as you said, of leading Jewish organizations have immense concerns
around this definition. And so what we will do is
actually deliver on our commitment to protect Jewish new Yorkers
in a manner that is able to actually fulfill that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, you go, nobody's fatality said. But he speaks well,
and he's you know, if you talk really fast, if
you talk very fast, everybody thinks you must be very smart.
Otherwise how could you talk that fast? But meantime he's
not saying anything. And then This is the line that
frightened everybody when they say democratic socialist? Is he really
a communist? Is he?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Does he want us to live in like a communist
a collective think? Well, listen to this.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
We will draw this city closer together. We will replace
the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York
yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well, if it wasn't real, it actually be pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
We will draw this city closer together. We will replace
the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now, what the hell is he talking about? The rugged
individual individualism, the frigidity rugged individualism. I guess he's talking
about Warren Buffett or Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or frigidity.
I know they don't look cold. That last time I
saw Bezos, he's on a yacht in St. Barts. He
(12:41):
look pretty warm. The frigidity, But the warmth of collectivism. Well,
if you go look at people in the Soviet Union
when it was all socialists, they didn't look like they
were so warm. They looked they were freezing. To death
and they were waiting in line twenty seven hours for
toilet paper. So it didn't look warm to me. But anyway,
now it's interesting as far as capturing Maduro. If you're
(13:04):
not sure if it was a mistake not a mistake.
Look at who opposed it. It's the biggest idiots on
the world. Mam Donnie opposed it. Mam Donnie was totally
against it. Hokeel was against it, Schumer was against it,
Hakeem Jeffreys, Kamala Harris, Chris Murphy. Well, if they're against it,
then it must be the right thing to do. And
Mom Donnie calls President Trump to just voice his objection
(13:28):
to it. You gotta give the guy credit. You gotta
give Mam Donnie credit for just out of controlled, delusional
ego thinking the President of the United States, Donald Trump,
wants his input on this tough foreign policy matter. As
if the President in the middle of those cabinet meetings,
listening to Hexith and Rubio and all those voices, said
(13:52):
to himself, I gotta know what Mam Doney thinks. So
Mam Donnie called him, and Trump took the call. Trump's
very gracious in situation something like that, and he took
the call, and he, you know, pretended listening very intently,
but you know, I guarantee he was rolling his eyes
with everybody in the room, holding the phone away from
his head while the guy yapped away. But Mamdani was
(14:13):
so proud that he called Trump.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
I called the President and spoke with him directly to
register my opposition to this act and to make clear
that it was an opposition based on being opposed to
a pursuit of regime change, to the violation of federal
international law, and a desire to see that be consistent
(14:36):
each and every day.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
And what was his response to you a conversation.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I registered my opposition, I made it clear, and.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
We left it at that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
There you go, waste of a phone call. Anyway, Well,
I'm back. We got a lot to get to today.
I did call Curtis by the way over the weekend
and thank him for filling in. He said he had
a lot of fun. He said he was really love
being here. He thanked all you guys in the control
room there. He said it was great people to work with.
(15:11):
I got a ton of email about him and comments
all over the place, but it was I'd say ninety
nine percent favorable. People loved him so and I'm sure
he'll be back here doing all kinds of stuff here.
And let me just clear up one thing. He kept
going after my friend Greg Kelly. Greg Kelly and I
are very very close friends. And he said, Greg listens
(15:31):
to this show every day, you know, looking for things
to take, ideas to take, or points to take. Yeah,
that's probably true. But what Curtis wasn't aware of, which
I called. I told him I listened to Greg Kelly
every day and I take just as much stuff from
his show. And he and I are very good friends.
In fact, we talk on the phone at night and said,
you know, he's got a lot of info sources, so
(15:53):
sometimes he'll give me stuff he got, I'll give stuff
I got, and then the next day you'll hear it
on both shows. But it's not anybody stealing from any buddy.
We actually collaborate on. I do that with a lot
of hosts, and a lot of people listen to this
show every day. Who hosts their own show that Sean
Hannity told me he listens every day. I know Buck
is one of our listeners.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I was.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was at the conference the other day and Chris
Ruddy was a chairman of Newsmax, was a speaker. They said,
what do you listen to when you get up in
the morning. He said, well, first I listened to Mark Simone.
I learn a lot about what's good to a lot
of people, a lot of hosts, a lot of media people.
And that's true of a million other shows. Hey, we'll
take some calls next. Let me know what you think.
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
(16:33):
the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Lots to get to today right here on seven ten
wor If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
App, save time and tap the preset button. Now now
back to the Mark Simone show on woor Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's good to be back. Actually, I'm tired already.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
You get out of shape. I used to do two
hours every day. There's like nothing now twenty minutes like so,
you know, it's like it you can run six miles
on the treadmill, then you don't go to the gym
for a few months. You come back you can barely
do half a mile. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
how you doing?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Hey, good morning, Mark, welcome, welcome home.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Thanks Hope.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
You had a great vacation.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I did.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
So.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
You know, I was reading online that Mondani doesn't want
mcduro arrested, but he's going to arrest be being net
in Yahoo. So here you go kind of a little
bit of a.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Very good point. Excellent point. There you go. The the
hypocrisy Democrats are famous for. Let's go to Bob Montvale,
New Jersey. Bob, how you doing. I'm doing great? How
would you work for taking the call?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
And just want to report here it is New Year's
New Jersey, Bergen County on the Rockland line, and the
crime has shifted from New York City to Rockland County
and Upper Burden County. You go online and there's violent
crime Spring Valley, New York.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And what is there? What is there to steal in
Spring Valley, New York?
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Oh, Mark, the Jewish folks Borough Park have really moved
into this area and they actually do a good job of, like,
you know, policing themselves. It's it's really the crime is tremendous.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, well, you know it's definitely going to be a problem.
That's one thing. The number one thing he had to
keep an eye on with Mom Donnie. Now he's left
Jessica as police commissioners. She'll do a great job. You
got two other things going for you. As far as
the New York crime if it's a start to get
out of hand, there's a great US attorney in the
Southern District, j Clayton. He's a little busy right now
(18:57):
trying Maduro and Luigi Mangione and all this, but he
has said and he can do it. If there's a
crime problem, he'll step in with federal officers and arrest
criminals on the street. In fact, that's actually better because
if the NYPD arrest them, they go to New York
City local courts where left wing judges all let them out.
If the US Attorney arrest them, they go to federal
(19:19):
court where the most likely really get locked up. Let's
go to Sam, Greenwich, Connecticut. Sam, how you doing Yes?
Speaker 10 (19:26):
I like to comment on the three phony elected at christs.
We have here a Connecticut Murphy, Hymes and Bloomintal. Yeah,
there all over the news today talking about the legal action.
The war is going to war with Venezuela. I guess
they haven't heard of the wars powers hackers.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, yeah, you know, it's funny. Connecticut is a wonderful place.
I go there on the weekends. I love Connecticut. Connecticut
is a wonderful place. But you've elected the slimiest, dirtiest
senators Bloomenthal and Murphy, sleazy, dirty, disgusting. Murphy for ten
years is tweeting away. You've got to get Maduro. We've
(20:08):
got to remove Mduro. Trump is obviously crazy not to
take out Mduro, So he takes him out. This is
the worst thing that ever happened. They keep yelling about
this War Powers Act. This is all of forest. The
War Powers Act has no connection to this incident. Nobody
went to war. If you did a quick three hour
military operation, it doesn't have anything to do with the
War Powers Act. If you blew up a drug boat,
(20:30):
the War Powers Act is not involved in any way.
Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Good morning, Mark, Mark. Great to hear your voice again.
You know. Donald Trump, while when he made his speech
Saturday morning, alluded to the fact that most of the
oil companies in Venezuela and the refineries, those were American
businesses that were stolen by Javis. While I have a
story when Javis was coming to power. I was in
(21:01):
my office late one night years ago, and in the
middle of practically after twelve o'clock, I get a phone
call and I said hello, and the person on the
other end called me by my childhood Monica, and I
immediately knew this was a buddy of mine. I said,
(21:21):
I recognized the voice that I says. What can I do?
What's going on? He said, Vincent, He said, Javis's people,
the goons life over here, like BLM and Black Lives
Matter were going through the neighborhoods. Robin Marauding and my
buddy lived in a villa very very doing, very very well,
(21:43):
had him and said he's had domestic help. And he says,
then he didn't even mention my name. He just said,
I got a run out, I got to get here.
I'm running for my life. He grabbed as much jewelry
he could in the house, cash he got in his Mercedes,
and they knew that soon they were going to start
the well.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Sounds pretty bad, But exactly what did this scarfaced friend
of yours do down there for a living?
Speaker 5 (22:09):
It was he was a business man, but I'm sure
he was so with the money, the cause, and the jewelry.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
He didn't go He didn't fly out of Caracas. He
took his car and drove it to Columbia and used
whatever he had on him, his car, the money, and
the jewelry. Well, it's a tragic his way out of.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The tragic, tragic story. The poor Hyman Roth type guy.
What he went through to get out of there exactly
before we go. Uh hey, people tell me Curtis was
on for two weeks, taking a lot of calls. They said,
you didn't call for two weeks any reason? You're not
a Curtis fan.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
I don't want to go there, Mark, No, okay, I
don't want to go there. Mark.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
You know, what did you do?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You have good New Year's Eve?
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Do you have a good New Year's Eve?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (23:04):
I had? I had a great I got a great holiday. Yeah.
I had a great New year Year's Eve, great Christmas?
No I uh look, I don't want to go there. Man.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
All right, subject changed. So aren't you glad all the
tourists are gone? We got that, we have we have
New York.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
Yeah. Yeah, everything everything is good, you know. Uh hey,
we're back to life is normal. You're back on the air.
That's the most important thing every Vincent.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Vincent, No, I know, but we got to go do
the news. Vincent, thanks for calling. Uh, we got to
Uh yeah, it's we'll talk about this next hour. But
these tourists, we had more tourists than ever. It was
impossible to even move here on the sidewalk anyway. Anyway,
we'll get to that later when we come back. Howie
Carr will be with us. He was at mar A
Lago Uh during the last couple of weeks. He'll tell

less than half price. Go to HOWI carshow dot com.
I'll make my plug at the start here with America.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's good. Hey, you were at mar Lago last couple
of weeks. You know, it's a fascinating place. It's like
a vacation resort. It's like a country club. But you
go in one room and there's a a podium in
a press conference room. You go in another room, there's
like a cabinet meeting war room there. It's quite a
place in Christmas, isn't it right?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
And they get that. They got the little bar and
one night we're there for my daughter's birthday, and we
could we could look right in there, and he was
he was referring in the in this bar, and they
got a big picture of him looking like, you know,
he's a squash player from from Penn back in the
nineteen sixties. It's really a funny picture.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
And no, it was.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
It was great. I mean, i'd never seen bb Nut
yahoo in person before before New Year's Eve, and you
know he was working the he was working the pool circle,
you know where they have the bars and the or
ther set up, you know, lobster tailed caviar, really really posh,
(25:49):
posh spread. And then the dinner it was it was
really good, and especially when you think about what was
going on at the time, it was just it was
just great. And then to watch these Democrats yesterday, you know,
I figured out the way, you know they're really they're
really shameless, mark is when they say this is all
of this is a distraction from the Epstein file. I mean,
(26:13):
this could be lamer than the Russian collusion hoax. You know,
how many years did they have the Epstein files all
to themselves and they couldn't find anything apparently, or they
weren't looking because they had to come up with all
these bony baloney scandals. But they keep going. I mean
even Schumer and Jeffries don't do it anymore, you know,
(26:34):
I mean, it's really the most shameless of the Democrats
who bring it up. And then how about the ones
that all they all these all these videotapes of them
from twenty twenty and twenty nineteen denouncing Trump for not
getting rid of Maduro, and now they're saying it's it's
the end of democracy everywhere to get rid of Maduro,
who stole an election. I mean, and they after they
(26:56):
said he stole an election, you know, in twenty twenty four,
they said stolen election. It's just remarkable what's going on
and now and now Tim Wallas is sleeping with the fishes,
apparently in Minnesota in about an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, hey, so I'm reading the crazy left wing sites
like Media Eye. It says things like Maga world torn
apart over the invasion of Venezuela. You were at mar Lago.
Did they seem torn apart in that dining room there?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
No, No, not at all. I mean I was thinking
when I saw when I saw BB and uh and
uh and Trump work in the room, work in the pool,
I guess I was thinking of you know, like the
you know movies, like you know The Godfather too, you
know where they're they're having all this nice party and
everything in Michael Corleoni tells Hymon Roth, well they're going
to win because you know, they care more and they
(27:51):
blow themselves up. But I was thinking, this is like
the reverse of math. They're having a They're having this
huge party and we didn't know it at the time.
They're preparing to invade Caracas. There are all these riots
the street, the the UH, the the Iatola is getting
ready to flee to Moscow and join Basher assade, you know,
the UH in the UH band dictators neighborhood of Moscow.
(28:17):
I mean, it's it's it was just amazing, the you know,
the the energy in the field. And Trump was in
this great mood. He he was. He was the auctioneer
for this painting that you saw of that this woman
put together in ten minutes of a jusus sold for
two point seventy five million dollars. And he was just
(28:37):
a he was just in a fantastic mood. I mean,
he wasn't at all nervous about the fact that you know,
they were they were the clock was ticking on the
the invasion. They were just waiting for the cloud cover
to clear. Yeah, Rockas he wasn't. He wasn't at all
concerned about it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Now apparently's supposed to happen last week, but the weather
wouldn't let up. So hey explain that, explain that auction
because he decided in the middle of the party to
do a charity auction, raise money for a charity, and
he auctions off a painting and in.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
That crowd, Yeah, she does a she does a paintings,
uh you know, spirit paintings. I guess she calls them.
And she's pretty good, you know. I mean she's not
she's not she's not the rem Brand or Vermire, but
she's she's pretty good. And so he said, we're gonna
raise some money. We're gonna we're gonna try to. We
got we got more money than than we know what
to do with in this in this room. So we're
(29:28):
just going to try to have an auction. She's gonna
they had, they had they put some sound up. She
was dressed in a very attractive woman and she said,
you know, he said, she's going to do it in
ten minutes from start to finish. So she she does
the whole painting with you know, Christian music in the background,
and it's just you know, in between the the o
Jays and Uncle Cracker or whatever or whoever he was.
(29:52):
And then they have a big band playing and they
they it was just part of the festivities. And then
and then Trump, Trump gets the uh gets the you know,
you know, the microphone, and he's the auctioneer. It's like
he's you know, it's like he's given out uh you know,
golf annual golf prizes at one of his one of
his clubs. You know, he just he's just totally in control.
(30:17):
And then he you know, and then he's and then
he's acting, you know, like I've always seen him act.
At mar A Lago that the night my daughter had
had a birthday party there, you know, just we had
just a bunch of people there the day after Christmas,
and he comes by and he says, oh, this is
a fine looking table, especially the women. I mean, it's
(30:38):
just perfect. It's like he's running a roadhouse, you know,
nineteen sixty you know, and he's just he's the president
of the United States and his second term and he's
just and he and he's still you know, taking care
of business. It's just it was just great. It was
it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You're right, he's like he's like Jules Puddell running the
copa Covanda Santallo to the table. But let me ask
you a question. The fact that he in the middle
of this room, he auctions off a painting, It's just
a nothing painting for two point seven million. How do
you think that made Hunter Biden feel watching this?
Speaker 5 (31:13):
That's that's exactly what I was thinking the time. You know,
no wonder he's so mad at his father and talked
about why didn't my father ever auction off one of
my pigs for two point The most I ever got
was a half a million.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, this is something. The idea of a president taking
the vacation at Christmas. You're supposed to go away somewhere
quiet and decompress and relax, somewhere quiet, a beach something.
The idea of going to mar A Lago, where's a
thousand times more hectic than the White House. What does
that say about him?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Well, I mean, well the other thing too is I
mean most of these people I don't know, going back
to George Bush, I mean he used to go to
his own place, but Obama never had his own place.
Biden really never had his own place that he went,
so he went to Nantucket or someone. You know, I mean,
at least this guy. At least this guy owns his
(32:04):
own property. That's I was thinking about that with Walt's
you know, Walts doesn't own any property. Sixty something years old,
a two term governor, former congressman, and he has no
he has no real estate. I mean it's I know
people don't have real estate, but I mean, I what's
he been doing with his whole life?
Speaker 8 (32:22):
You know?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
I mean he's made a lot of money, he owns nothing.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, as far as making money, we don't even know
the extent. Who knows what what he's made with all
this fraud going on.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I already predicted him my Herald column for New Year
as I said, he's going to be he's not going
to be running for reelection, and he's going to go
to the Kennedy School of Government as an adjunct lecturer. Wow,
and you know, I so my big my first big
prediction in my New Year's column is already coming through.
And my other prediction is he This means he'll just
he can walk to pick up the Profiles and Courage Award.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And may well everybody should take. Everybody should read Howie
Carr's columns. You can get them at howiecarshow dot com.
You can get his new book, Mass Corruption. You can

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Allowed for the rest of the week till Friday. Then
that's the deadline. So hey, coming up in the next hour,
Rob Reiner will be our guest. He was a regular
on the show for years. So I just want you
to hear the real hymn. It's interesting, it's very interesting.
We'll get to that in the next hour. Also, we'll
get to CBS News. Some dramatic changes might be happening.
(34:24):
We'll get to Tim Waltz being out. We'll get more
back to more of Maduro and mar A Lago and
a whole lot more coming up on seven to ten
WR Mark.
Speaker 1 (34:33):
Simon Show on seven TENR.
Speaker 2 (34:38):
Well I'm back. Yeah, too long a vacation, way too long. Well, well,
Curtis did a great job filling in. Everybody loved him.
He'll be back shrew here, I'm sure, and doing more
stuff here in the next hour. We got a lot
to get to. Hey, the new anchor of the CBS
Evening News was to debut tonight, but because of the
(34:58):
Maduro stuff, he had a move up the debut and
he did it on Saturday. But it was pretty interesting.
What happened might signal big changes at CBS. We'll get
to that coming up the next hour. Also, we'll talk
with Rob Reiner. Yeah, a classic interview with him coming up. Hey,
I think everybody is back today, Buck and Clay, great show.
(35:18):
They're back today at noon. Sean Hannity, we've all been
gone two weeks. Sean will be back at three o'clock today,
and then Jimmy Fayla tonight and a whole lot more.
So I'll be back after the news. Another hour Togo
coming up on seven to ten WR
Now Seor presents Marks Emosha.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Well, I'm back, finally back. It's a long vacation. It
was like two and a half weeks, and I actually
love not working. I mean, I have a lot of
fun and plenty to do, but but that's enough vacation.
I can't take it anymore. It's good to be back.
I missed you. I hope you missed me, and Curtis
did a great job filling in. Everybody loved him. I
(00:35):
have not everybody. I would say it was ninety nine
percent favorable. All the comments and mail and everything we got.
People love Curtis and hopefully he'll be back here soon.
He did attack a few people there who are all
friends of mine, so but listen, he's got a right
to be a little upset with some people. But did
(00:59):
you notice I was listening here and there is he
For two weeks. I don't think he had one guest on, right.
I think his wife was on once, but that doesn't count.
For two weeks, not a single guest. That's impressive. That's
a sign of a great host. You can always tell
how good a host is by how many guests they
have on. If they open the show by telling you
twenty seven guests that are coming on. You know, it's
(01:20):
not that great a host. They can't fill the time
on their own, their guest dependent. Today. As soon as
the guest is done, our next guest is they got
to get somebody else. The guests have to do all
the talking. So you really got to be good at
this to do two hours, five days a week and
not have a guest on. So yeah, we have guests on,
but once an hour for a few minutes, just to
(01:42):
break it up a little. But we're not you know,
it's the whole first forty minutes of the hour, there's
no guests. We don't you don't want to be guest dependent.
By the way, coming up in our second hour, our
guest will be Rob Reiner. I found, you know, he
was a regular in this show for many years, so
I found a an interview or two of them, but
we'll play that out in the second hour. It's interesting
(02:03):
to listen to him because I know he was crazy,
insane with his politics, angry, crazy, over the top nuts
with the politics. But it's interesting. He was a great
guy in real life. He and I were friends. We
got along really well. I never talked about politics so
let me talk about we talk about Joey Bishop or
old show business or old comedians, but I just you
(02:23):
can hear the real hymn. We'll get to that in
the second hour. And it's a good lesson to learn
because you probably had the situation over the holidays with
your family at Christmas parties or whatever. Your uncle, your cousin.
They're great people, but when they talk about politics, they're
like childish, insane, crazy nonsense, childish, ridiculous. You know, this
(02:48):
Maduro stuff is a great example. For the last ten years, Democrats,
all of them, Chuck Schumer, Biden, that idiot Chris Murphy
from all of them, have been demanding that somebody do
something about Maduro, that they get rid of Maduro. You know,
in Trump's first term, all the Democrats attacked him for
(03:11):
not doing anything about Maduro. And it's all over Twitter.
You can see the videos, you can see the statements
from them. If you don't believe this, they all went
on camera on Twitter saying Trump is obviously in bed
with Putin because otherwise he'd be getting rid of Maduro,
who's Putin's puppet. They demanded that to get rid of Maduro,
(03:33):
Schumer Hakeem Jeffries. All of these people this video all
over Twitter. You can watch them screaming and yelling, gotta
get rid of Maduro. So Trump gets rid of Maduro
like that, they turn on a dime. It's unbelievable. They're
just going nuts defending Maduro. What happened at No Kings
(03:54):
Remember No Kings seventy seven days ago there was no Kings.
Well this one we like, you shouldn't have gotten rid
of this, and so it's absolutely insane behavior. But it's
really what it is, it's just being childish. They're just
like little children, screaming and yelling. Hey, you remember for
the whole year that been telling you over and over
(04:14):
and over and over and over again that Pete Hexath
is not qualified to be the Secretary of Defense. All
of them, all the Democrats in politics, all the Democrats
on television, have been telling you he's the least qualified
secretary of Defense. Hexath is not qualified, He's the most unqualified. Well,
for the last year, he has flawlessly executed the most
(04:37):
complex military operations anybody ever has dozens of them, from
the bombing the Iran nuclear reactors to the ticking out
the drug boats. To the seizing the oil tankers, to
capturing a world leader in his bed in the middle
of the night and getting him out of the country
and doing the whole operation in three hours. Not qualified.
(04:57):
This guy has been unbelievable at the military operations he's run.
Nobody's ever run these kind of operations. Look at the
last guy, Lloyd Austin, Biden's Secretary of Defense. One operation
just withdraw everybody from Afghanistan. Turned it into a chaotic nightmare.
They bungle it up so badly. Hegxath has been unbelievable. Now,
(05:19):
of course the media stays quiet about that. They don't
mention a word about it. I don't say anything about
it at all. Now we got the same thing with
the Minnesota fraud, the Somali fraud in Minnesota. It looks
like it that number might hit eighteen billion. That's been missing.
Tim Waltz just moments ago announced he will not seek reelection.
(05:41):
So if he had any doubts about that Minnesota fraud
being real, being more extensive than we thought, if he
had any doubts about how big and how real that
whole thing is, Tim Waltz just announced he will step
down from his campaign. There will be no campaign. He
will not seek reelection. Now, this is a guy who
(06:02):
was definitely going to run for a reelection. He was
on his way or in his crazy brain to twenty
twenty eight being candidate for president. But his political career
is now over. It's over. He cannot seek reelection. He's
admitted that he's dropping out of the race. He is
giving up politics. Hey, by the way, keep an eye
(06:23):
on Gavin Newsom. This affects him because everybody says that
as bad as this fraud is in Minnesota, it's far
worse and much much, much bigger in California. So this
will start to come out next and that will be
the end of Gavin Newsom's twenty twenty eight bid. He's
(06:43):
going to have a problem President Trump. Can you imagine this?
Speaker 3 (06:45):
Still eight billion dollars that's just over learning about him.
Peters in California's horse, Illinois's horse and Santay new works.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Yeah, so wait till it get to California. That'll end Newsome.
And then they find it in Illinois. Well that's the
end of Pritzker. Now when he says New York is well,
that's because a mom, Donnie and all of this stuff
you and ever you get a socialist or a left
wing kook like this, a Deblasio type, money goes missing.
(07:16):
It happens every time. While they yell and scream about
the billionaires, meantime, billions go sideways and no one quite
knows where it goes. You know, and you got the
most corrupt media ever in the Deblasio administration. A billion
dollars went missing in this fake program he and his
wife set up. It was called Thrive NYC. And it
(07:39):
was supposed to take care of the homeless and it
actually had this is not a joke. It had programs
like yoga for the homeless, that kind of stuff. Well,
a billion dollars went into it, and nobody knows where
it went, and it's gone, it's missing, And of course,
the totally corrupt media Channel two, Channel four, Channel five,
Channel seven, New York Times, all that corrupt media never
(08:00):
ever looked into it. Oh, they mentioned it for a second,
but they never looked into it. There should be reporters
all over the place tracking down that money, hunting for
that money. So whenever one of these left wing kooks
gets in, one of these socialists, money goes missing, and
the other thing that happens is who suffers under them,
the homeless, the lower economic classes. They're the ones that
(08:24):
get hit the hardest by this nonsense. You know, Venezuela
is a great example. It was one of the most
booming economies in the world. It was thriving. It has
more oil than anybody on earth, just the oil revenue.
It was booming. Their economy was on fire. Everybody was
doing great in Venezuela. So they went socialist. When they
(08:44):
went socialist, when Chavez came in with his underling Maduro,
and then Maduro took over, they went socialist. Suddenly nobody
has any money, everybody's in poverty. That's what happens with socialists.
We look at them Poland it was just the opposite.
Under socialism, no money broke, the world's worst place to live.
Then they convert to capitalism, and now they're one of
(09:05):
the biggest economies in the world, huge economy, the biggest Japan.
It's booming and everybody is living better, doing better. That's
what happens. So now the good news in New York
is Mom Donnie as nuts as he is, as terribly
as we don't know what he'll be able to get done.
If anything, A lot of people think it'll just be
the third term of Deblasio. Third Deblasio term. We got
(09:28):
through that. It wasn't good, but we got through it
to we'll get through this. He had his inauguration, as
it called it, a block party. It was a great
block party. But if you want to just take a
look at what exactly are his management skills, look at
the block party. It was considered the worst party ever thrown,
(09:50):
just as far as managing it, the worst setup ever.
The block party was held in like minus five degree weather.
It had fifty thousand people to stand there, and there
were no food trucks, no food of any kind, no bathrooms,
no anything, and they were asked to wait. It started late.
(10:10):
It started like three hours late, so he had to
stand there. It was just horrendous. You know, you could
go to Times Square in New Year's even at least
there's a food truck every ten feet, there's a bathroom.
Well not a lot for that, but this was a nightmare,
an absolute nightmare. That's the way Mom Dannie runs things.
And of course the totally corrupt media gives him a
(10:32):
pass at all times. His anti Israel nonsense he killed
some executive orders to protect Israel, protect people from being attacked,
anti Semitic attacks. He got rid of those. Now he
claims they'll replace him with somebody else, But who would
trust him on that? And he talks about the protecting Palestinians.
(10:52):
There's never been an attack on a Palestinian anywhere in
New York. The Palestinians have not been attacked. It doesn't exist.
Anti Semitic attacks by the thousands, vicious, violent ones all
over New York. That's where the protection is needed. He's
just crazy about this.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
Protecting Jewish new Yorkers is going to be a focus
of my administration. And I also know that a number,
as you said, of leading Jewish organizations have immense concerns
around this definition. And so what we will do is
actually deliver on our commitment to protect Jewish new Yorkers
in a manner that is able to actually fulfill that.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, you go, nobody's fatality said. But he speaks well,
and he's you know, if you talk really fast, if
you talk very fast, everybody thinks you must be very smart.
Otherwise how could you talk that fast? But meantime he's
not saying anything. And then This is the line that
frightened everybody when they say democratic socialist? Is he really
a communist? Is he?
Speaker 5 (11:44):
I mean?
Speaker 2 (11:45):
Does he want us to live in like a communist
a collective think? Well, listen to this.
Speaker 4 (11:49):
We will draw this city closer together. We will replace
the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
If our campaign demonstrated that the people of New York
yearn for solidarity, then let this government foster it.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
Well, if it wasn't real, it actually be pretty funny.
Speaker 4 (12:11):
We will draw this city closer together. We will replace
the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Now, what the hell is he talking about? The rugged
individual individualism, the frigidity rugged individualism. I guess he's talking
about Warren Buffett or Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or frigidity.
I know they don't look cold. That last time I
saw Bezos, he's on a yacht in St. Barts. He
(12:41):
look pretty warm. The frigidity, But the warmth of collectivism. Well,
if you go look at people in the Soviet Union
when it was all socialists, they didn't look like they
were so warm. They looked they were freezing. To death
and they were waiting in line twenty seven hours for
toilet paper. So it didn't look warm to me. But anyway,
now it's interesting as far as capturing Maduro. If you're
(13:04):
not sure if it was a mistake not a mistake.
Look at who opposed it. It's the biggest idiots on
the world. Mam Donnie opposed it. Mam Donnie was totally
against it. Hokeel was against it, Schumer was against it,
Hakeem Jeffreys, Kamala Harris, Chris Murphy. Well, if they're against it,
then it must be the right thing to do. And
Mom Donnie calls President Trump to just voice his objection
(13:28):
to it. You gotta give the guy credit. You gotta
give Mam Donnie credit for just out of controlled, delusional
ego thinking the President of the United States, Donald Trump,
wants his input on this tough foreign policy matter. As
if the President in the middle of those cabinet meetings,
listening to Hexith and Rubio and all those voices, said
(13:52):
to himself, I gotta know what Mam Doney thinks. So
Mam Donnie called him, and Trump took the call. Trump's
very gracious in situation something like that, and he took
the call, and he, you know, pretended listening very intently,
but you know, I guarantee he was rolling his eyes
with everybody in the room, holding the phone away from
his head while the guy yapped away. But Mamdani was
(14:13):
so proud that he called Trump.
Speaker 6 (14:15):
I called the President and spoke with him directly to
register my opposition to this act and to make clear
that it was an opposition based on being opposed to
a pursuit of regime change, to the violation of federal
international law, and a desire to see that be consistent
(14:36):
each and every day.
Speaker 7 (14:37):
And what was his response to you a conversation.
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I registered my opposition, I made it clear, and.
Speaker 8 (14:45):
We left it at that.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
There you go, waste of a phone call. Anyway, Well,
I'm back. We got a lot to get to today.
I did call Curtis by the way over the weekend
and thank him for filling in. He said he had
a lot of fun. He said he was really love
being here. He thanked all you guys in the control
room there. He said it was great people to work with.
(15:11):
I got a ton of email about him and comments
all over the place, but it was I'd say ninety
nine percent favorable. People loved him so and I'm sure
he'll be back here doing all kinds of stuff here.
And let me just clear up one thing. He kept
going after my friend Greg Kelly. Greg Kelly and I
are very very close friends. And he said, Greg listens
(15:31):
to this show every day, you know, looking for things
to take, ideas to take, or points to take. Yeah,
that's probably true. But what Curtis wasn't aware of, which
I called. I told him I listened to Greg Kelly
every day and I take just as much stuff from
his show. And he and I are very good friends.
In fact, we talk on the phone at night and said,
you know, he's got a lot of info sources, so
(15:53):
sometimes he'll give me stuff he got, I'll give stuff
I got, and then the next day you'll hear it
on both shows. But it's not anybody stealing from any buddy.
We actually collaborate on. I do that with a lot
of hosts, and a lot of people listen to this
show every day. Who hosts their own show that Sean
Hannity told me he listens every day. I know Buck
is one of our listeners.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
I was.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I was at the conference the other day and Chris
Ruddy was a chairman of Newsmax, was a speaker. They said,
what do you listen to when you get up in
the morning. He said, well, first I listened to Mark Simone.
I learn a lot about what's good to a lot
of people, a lot of hosts, a lot of media people.
And that's true of a million other shows. Hey, we'll
take some calls next. Let me know what you think.
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
(16:33):
the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Lots to get to today right here on seven ten
wor If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
App, save time and tap the preset button. Now now
back to the Mark Simone show on woor Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
It's good to be back. Actually, I'm tired already.
Speaker 6 (16:59):
You know.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
You get out of shape. I used to do two
hours every day. There's like nothing now twenty minutes like so,
you know, it's like it you can run six miles
on the treadmill, then you don't go to the gym
for a few months. You come back you can barely
do half a mile. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
how you doing?
Speaker 7 (17:16):
Hey, good morning, Mark, welcome, welcome home.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Thanks Hope.
Speaker 7 (17:20):
You had a great vacation.
Speaker 2 (17:22):
I did.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
So.
Speaker 7 (17:25):
You know, I was reading online that Mondani doesn't want
mcduro arrested, but he's going to arrest be being net
in Yahoo. So here you go kind of a little
bit of a.
Speaker 2 (17:39):
Very good point. Excellent point. There you go. The the
hypocrisy Democrats are famous for. Let's go to Bob Montvale,
New Jersey. Bob, how you doing. I'm doing great? How
would you work for taking the call?
Speaker 9 (17:54):
And just want to report here it is New Year's
New Jersey, Bergen County on the Rockland line, and the
crime has shifted from New York City to Rockland County
and Upper Burden County. You go online and there's violent
crime Spring Valley, New York.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
And what is there? What is there to steal in
Spring Valley, New York?
Speaker 9 (18:16):
Oh, Mark, the Jewish folks Borough Park have really moved
into this area and they actually do a good job of, like,
you know, policing themselves. It's it's really the crime is tremendous.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Yeah, well, you know it's definitely going to be a problem.
That's one thing. The number one thing he had to
keep an eye on with Mom Donnie. Now he's left
Jessica as police commissioners. She'll do a great job. You
got two other things going for you. As far as
the New York crime if it's a start to get
out of hand, there's a great US attorney in the
Southern District, j Clayton. He's a little busy right now
(18:57):
trying Maduro and Luigi Mangione and all this, but he
has said and he can do it. If there's a
crime problem, he'll step in with federal officers and arrest
criminals on the street. In fact, that's actually better because
if the NYPD arrest them, they go to New York
City local courts where left wing judges all let them out.
If the US Attorney arrest them, they go to federal
(19:19):
court where the most likely really get locked up. Let's
go to Sam, Greenwich, Connecticut. Sam, how you doing Yes?
Speaker 10 (19:26):
I like to comment on the three phony elected at christs.
We have here a Connecticut Murphy, Hymes and Bloomintal. Yeah,
there all over the news today talking about the legal action.
The war is going to war with Venezuela. I guess
they haven't heard of the wars powers hackers.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Well, yeah, you know, it's funny. Connecticut is a wonderful place.
I go there on the weekends. I love Connecticut. Connecticut
is a wonderful place. But you've elected the slimiest, dirtiest
senators Bloomenthal and Murphy, sleazy, dirty, disgusting. Murphy for ten
years is tweeting away. You've got to get Maduro. We've
(20:08):
got to remove Mduro. Trump is obviously crazy not to
take out Mduro, So he takes him out. This is
the worst thing that ever happened. They keep yelling about
this War Powers Act. This is all of forest. The
War Powers Act has no connection to this incident. Nobody
went to war. If you did a quick three hour
military operation, it doesn't have anything to do with the
War Powers Act. If you blew up a drug boat,
(20:30):
the War Powers Act is not involved in any way.
Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 8 (20:37):
Good morning, Mark, Mark. Great to hear your voice again.
You know. Donald Trump, while when he made his speech
Saturday morning, alluded to the fact that most of the
oil companies in Venezuela and the refineries, those were American
businesses that were stolen by Javis. While I have a
story when Javis was coming to power. I was in
(21:01):
my office late one night years ago, and in the
middle of practically after twelve o'clock, I get a phone
call and I said hello, and the person on the
other end called me by my childhood Monica, and I
immediately knew this was a buddy of mine. I said,
(21:21):
I recognized the voice that I says. What can I do?
What's going on? He said, Vincent, He said, Javis's people,
the goons life over here, like BLM and Black Lives
Matter were going through the neighborhoods. Robin Marauding and my
buddy lived in a villa very very doing, very very well,
(21:43):
had him and said he's had domestic help. And he says,
then he didn't even mention my name. He just said,
I got a run out, I got to get here.
I'm running for my life. He grabbed as much jewelry
he could in the house, cash he got in his Mercedes,
and they knew that soon they were going to start
the well.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
Sounds pretty bad, But exactly what did this scarfaced friend
of yours do down there for a living?
Speaker 5 (22:09):
It was he was a business man, but I'm sure
he was so with the money, the cause, and the jewelry.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
He didn't go He didn't fly out of Caracas. He
took his car and drove it to Columbia and used
whatever he had on him, his car, the money, and
the jewelry. Well, it's a tragic his way out of.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
The tragic, tragic story. The poor Hyman Roth type guy.
What he went through to get out of there exactly
before we go. Uh hey, people tell me Curtis was
on for two weeks, taking a lot of calls. They said,
you didn't call for two weeks any reason? You're not
a Curtis fan.
Speaker 5 (22:52):
Uh.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
I don't want to go there, Mark, No, okay, I
don't want to go there. Mark.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
You know, what did you do?
Speaker 2 (22:59):
You have good New Year's Eve?
Speaker 8 (23:01):
Excuse me?
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Do you have a good New Year's Eve?
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (23:04):
I had? I had a great I got a great holiday. Yeah.
I had a great New year Year's Eve, great Christmas?
No I uh look, I don't want to go there. Man.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
All right, subject changed. So aren't you glad all the
tourists are gone? We got that, we have we have
New York.
Speaker 8 (23:22):
Yeah. Yeah, everything everything is good, you know. Uh hey,
we're back to life is normal. You're back on the air.
That's the most important thing every Vincent.
Speaker 2 (23:33):
Vincent, No, I know, but we got to go do
the news. Vincent, thanks for calling. Uh, we got to
Uh yeah, it's we'll talk about this next hour. But
these tourists, we had more tourists than ever. It was
impossible to even move here on the sidewalk anyway. Anyway,
we'll get to that later when we come back. Howie

I'll make my plug at the start here with America.
Speaker 2 (24:50):
That's good. Hey, you were at mar Lago last couple
of weeks. You know, it's a fascinating place. It's like
a vacation resort. It's like a country club. But you
go in one room and there's a a podium in
a press conference room. You go in another room, there's
like a cabinet meeting war room there. It's quite a
place in Christmas, isn't it right?
Speaker 5 (25:08):
And they get that. They got the little bar and
one night we're there for my daughter's birthday, and we
could we could look right in there, and he was
he was referring in the in this bar, and they
got a big picture of him looking like, you know,
he's a squash player from from Penn back in the
nineteen sixties. It's really a funny picture.
Speaker 7 (25:28):
And no, it was.
Speaker 5 (25:29):
It was great. I mean, i'd never seen bb Nut
yahoo in person before before New Year's Eve, and you
know he was working the he was working the pool circle,
you know where they have the bars and the or
ther set up, you know, lobster tailed caviar, really really posh,
(25:49):
posh spread. And then the dinner it was it was
really good, and especially when you think about what was
going on at the time, it was just it was
just great. And then to watch these Democrats yesterday, you know,
I figured out the way, you know they're really they're
really shameless, mark is when they say this is all
of this is a distraction from the Epstein file. I mean,
(26:13):
this could be lamer than the Russian collusion hoax. You know,
how many years did they have the Epstein files all
to themselves and they couldn't find anything apparently, or they
weren't looking because they had to come up with all
these bony baloney scandals. But they keep going. I mean
even Schumer and Jeffries don't do it anymore, you know,
(26:34):
I mean, it's really the most shameless of the Democrats
who bring it up. And then how about the ones
that all they all these all these videotapes of them
from twenty twenty and twenty nineteen denouncing Trump for not
getting rid of Maduro, and now they're saying it's it's
the end of democracy everywhere to get rid of Maduro,
who stole an election. I mean, and they after they
(26:56):
said he stole an election, you know, in twenty twenty four,
they said stolen election. It's just remarkable what's going on
and now and now Tim Wallas is sleeping with the fishes,
apparently in Minnesota in about an hour and a half.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yeah, hey, so I'm reading the crazy left wing sites
like Media Eye. It says things like Maga world torn
apart over the invasion of Venezuela. You were at mar Lago.
Did they seem torn apart in that dining room there?
Speaker 5 (27:28):
No, No, not at all. I mean I was thinking
when I saw when I saw BB and uh and
uh and Trump work in the room, work in the pool,
I guess I was thinking of you know, like the
you know movies, like you know The Godfather too, you
know where they're they're having all this nice party and
everything in Michael Corleoni tells Hymon Roth, well they're going
to win because you know, they care more and they
(27:51):
blow themselves up. But I was thinking, this is like
the reverse of math. They're having a They're having this
huge party and we didn't know it at the time.
They're preparing to invade Caracas. There are all these riots
the street, the the UH, the the Iatola is getting
ready to flee to Moscow and join Basher assade, you know,
the UH in the UH band dictators neighborhood of Moscow.
(28:17):
I mean, it's it's it was just amazing, the you know,
the the energy in the field. And Trump was in
this great mood. He he was. He was the auctioneer
for this painting that you saw of that this woman
put together in ten minutes of a jusus sold for
two point seventy five million dollars. And he was just
(28:37):
a he was just in a fantastic mood. I mean,
he wasn't at all nervous about the fact that you know,
they were they were the clock was ticking on the
the invasion. They were just waiting for the cloud cover
to clear. Yeah, Rockas he wasn't. He wasn't at all
concerned about it.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Now apparently's supposed to happen last week, but the weather
wouldn't let up. So hey explain that, explain that auction
because he decided in the middle of the party to
do a charity auction, raise money for a charity, and
he auctions off a painting and in.
Speaker 5 (29:06):
That crowd, Yeah, she does a she does a paintings,
uh you know, spirit paintings. I guess she calls them.
And she's pretty good, you know. I mean she's not
she's not she's not the rem Brand or Vermire, but
she's she's pretty good. And so he said, we're gonna
raise some money. We're gonna we're gonna try to. We
got we got more money than than we know what
to do with in this in this room. So we're
(29:28):
just going to try to have an auction. She's gonna
they had, they had they put some sound up. She
was dressed in a very attractive woman and she said,
you know, he said, she's going to do it in
ten minutes from start to finish. So she she does
the whole painting with you know, Christian music in the background,
and it's just you know, in between the the o
Jays and Uncle Cracker or whatever or whoever he was.
(29:52):
And then they have a big band playing and they
they it was just part of the festivities. And then
and then Trump, Trump gets the uh gets the you know,
you know, the microphone, and he's the auctioneer. It's like
he's you know, it's like he's given out uh you know,
golf annual golf prizes at one of his one of
his clubs. You know, he just he's just totally in control.
(30:17):
And then he you know, and then he's and then
he's acting, you know, like I've always seen him act.
At mar A Lago that the night my daughter had
had a birthday party there, you know, just we had
just a bunch of people there the day after Christmas,
and he comes by and he says, oh, this is
a fine looking table, especially the women. I mean, it's
(30:38):
just perfect. It's like he's running a roadhouse, you know,
nineteen sixty you know, and he's just he's the president
of the United States and his second term and he's
just and he and he's still you know, taking care
of business. It's just it was just great. It was
it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 2 (30:55):
You're right, he's like he's like Jules Puddell running the
copa Covanda Santallo to the table. But let me ask
you a question. The fact that he in the middle
of this room, he auctions off a painting, It's just
a nothing painting for two point seven million. How do
you think that made Hunter Biden feel watching this?
Speaker 5 (31:13):
That's that's exactly what I was thinking the time. You know,
no wonder he's so mad at his father and talked
about why didn't my father ever auction off one of
my pigs for two point The most I ever got
was a half a million.
Speaker 2 (31:26):
Yeah, this is something. The idea of a president taking
the vacation at Christmas. You're supposed to go away somewhere
quiet and decompress and relax, somewhere quiet, a beach something.
The idea of going to mar A Lago, where's a
thousand times more hectic than the White House. What does
that say about him?
Speaker 5 (31:44):
Well, I mean, well the other thing too is I
mean most of these people I don't know, going back
to George Bush, I mean he used to go to
his own place, but Obama never had his own place.
Biden really never had his own place that he went,
so he went to Nantucket or someone. You know, I mean,
at least this guy. At least this guy owns his
(32:04):
own property. That's I was thinking about that with Walt's
you know, Walts doesn't own any property. Sixty something years old,
a two term governor, former congressman, and he has no
he has no real estate. I mean it's I know
people don't have real estate, but I mean, I what's
he been doing with his whole life?
Speaker 8 (32:22):
You know?
Speaker 5 (32:23):
I mean he's made a lot of money, he owns nothing.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
Yeah, as far as making money, we don't even know
the extent. Who knows what what he's made with all
this fraud going on.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I already predicted him my Herald column for New Year
as I said, he's going to be he's not going
to be running for reelection, and he's going to go
to the Kennedy School of Government as an adjunct lecturer. Wow,
and you know, I so my big my first big
prediction in my New Year's column is already coming through.
And my other prediction is he This means he'll just
he can walk to pick up the Profiles and Courage Award.
Speaker 2 (32:56):
And may well everybody should take. Everybody should read Howie
Carr's columns. You can get them at howiecarshow dot com.
