Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Mark Simone SHOWR Well freezing cold today.
So we're just talking about this a moment ago, Marjorie
Taylor Green. You remember that loony woman, Marjorie Taylor Green.
So she turned on Trump when on Trump started attacking him,
(00:23):
attacking him, attacking him. Trump attacked her back, called her
a trader. So she left politics. Now, the reason she
left politics is all the polling show she couldn't win,
She would not win reelection, so it looks better just
to resign, drop out, so you're not going to run again.
And you know, sixty minutes would never put a woman
(00:45):
like that on the air, crazy conspiracy theory, nutty. They
would never put her on sixteen minutes. Ever, unless she
starts attacking Trump. Then all of a sudden, she's the
big interview last night, the big superstar interview of sixty minutes.
She's the main feature, an interview with Marjorie Taylor Green.
She's attacking Trump. They love her, they put her on
(01:06):
the ear. She did have one great moment though, where
Leslie Stall said to her, you know our awful toxic politics,
all the crazy partisan She said you She looked at
Marjorie Taylor Green. You know, you were a big part
of the toxic politics. And good for Marjorie Taylor Green.
(01:27):
She goes, and you weren't. She said, Leslie, you were
as toxic as anybody politically, which is true. I mean,
Leslie Stall got caught in more lying fake news. Remember
the famous Trump interview where he talked about the surveillance
on his campaign and Leslie Stall said there's no truth
to that. Well, of course it turned out to be
(01:47):
absolutely true, and she looked ridiculous. But President Trump went
on truth social last night, really went after sixty minutes,
Paramount attacking them like crazy. He really unleashed on them.
He said, under Paramont's sixty minutes even got worse. It's
actually even worse now than before. Well, give them time.
(02:10):
The cleaning house there, it's going to take a while.
It's gonna be done very slowly. They're going to get
rid of people one by one. Leslie Stall will be gone.
Gail King has already gone. I mean she's still on,
but she's leaving. All these people will be leaving. They'll
slowly clean up this mess. It's going to take a while.
Now Paramount is in the good graces of the Trump
(02:32):
administrass and they don't want to lose that because they
still want to get Warner Brothers Discovery. Looks like Netflix
won the bidding war to take over Warner Brothers, which
includes a lot of stuff. It includes HBO, it includes
all kinds. One of the reasons people want this company
is the Warner Brothers Studio is actually the biggest movie
(02:53):
studio in Hollywood, and it's a very important major production facility.
And if your Netflix making a lot of movies and
TV shows and all that kind of stuff, so you
could use that big studio. Also, you could use HBO,
HBO Max, all that stuff as a platform. There's a
lot of other stuff in CNN means absolutely nothing in
(03:15):
this It doesn't make much money. It doesn't have any viewers.
It's a little, tiny nothing thing in there. In fact,
if they could get rid of that and the deal,
they would Netflix doesn't want it. But part of the
deal Wanner Brothers Discovery, if you buy the company, you
got to take CNN off our hands too. We don't
want it either. So although somebody buying this could maybe
(03:37):
use it for something, you know, you get rid of
all the CNN stuff and it's still a cable network
that's on all the cable systems. But even that's not
of much value nowadays. So Netflix has won the bidding
where now they may still not get it. They may
not get the deal because the Trump administration would have
to approve all of this and they could block it.
There's all sorts of reasons to block the Netflix deal.
(04:01):
I mean good business reasons. It's too much of a
monopoly and it would create too big of one streaming service,
so it could be held up. And that means Paramount,
who was the second place bidder, could just raise their
numbers a little and get it. So they're still in
the running. But if Trump's mad at them over sixty minutes,
(04:22):
that's not going to help. The price now is like
thirty dollars a year. This will go to thirty five
dollars a year because you can spin off a lot
of these cable assets and probably get another three four
dollars a year. So don't be so sure Netflix gets it,
and don't be so sure the price doesn't go up
in the in the end. Hey, the New York Jets,
(04:48):
there are a lot of Jets fans out there, die
hard Jets fans, been going on their whole life. They
love the Jets. You could try to reason with them.
It's like people with Trump the arrangement syndrome. You can't
reason with them. You know, it's the same thing with
the Mets. Mets fans, but every so often, the Mets
(05:08):
get pretty good every so often. The Mets are in
the playoffs in the World Series every so often. But
with the Jets, nothing good ever happens. If you're going
to be a Jets fan, you're just asking for heartbreak
and heartache. And so they just got eliminated from the
playoffs yesterday, eliminated from the playoffs every year for fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
If you look back at the history of the Jets,
you got Joe Namath, You've got great Jets teams, you
got some great So what's the problem. It's one guy.
It's Woody Johnson, who's a very nice guy. He's a
friend of mine. I like the guy, but he's the
worst owner in the history of sports. He is a
(05:58):
great guy in real life. He's a generous guy. He's
done a lot of public service. He's a good guy.
Woody Johnson, he has no business owning a football team.
He's not just a bad owner. Everybody agrees. I'm not
an expert. You talk to all the greatest football expert
sports experts, they all agree he's the single worst owner
(06:20):
in the history of sports. This is the worst franchise
in the history of sports. There are people in the
professional sports football world saying that they should come up
with something in the NFL world where an owner can
be eliminated if he's that bad. In other words, you know,
they're very careful who they give the team to. To
(06:41):
become an NFL owner is like the ultimate club of
the world to be accepted there. But there should be
some mechanism where a guy turns out to be the
worst owner on earth and it's hopeless, total disaster that
the NFL can make him sell the team. There should
be something like that for a case like this. This
guy is so unbeloe believably horrendously bad as an owner. Now,
(07:03):
he bought the team for this is years ago for
about six hundred million. It's now worth I think it's
eight billion, but some are saying it's worth ten billion.
So if he's forced to sell, he would make like
a nine and a half million a billion, nine and
a half billion dollar profit. So I mean, if you
(07:25):
forced him to sell it, it's a great thing for
him too. I mean, you should be very happy. What's
the point of owning a team. Well, some people have
just really loved football in sports and they want to
they're really into Now this guy's that came. I think
it's more of a social thing. To be an NFL
team owner is quite an honor. It's the highest honor
(07:46):
there is for a billionaire. But also it's a great thing.
Every Sunday, you host everybody in your big, huge suite,
you invite fifty one hundred friends. It's quite a thing.
So now you might be saying, well, wait a minute,
maybe he really is a great, great lover of football.
I don't think so. I mean, if he was that
into football, he'd know what he was doing. I mean,
(08:09):
nobody is worse at running, so it's pretty obvious he
doesn't know anything about football, and he spent money. He
goes out and gets these great players, sometimes Aaron Rodgers
and others. But you'll notice whenever they get a great
player and bring them in, they ruin the guy. I
don't care how good a quarterback you are, you are
ruined when you come to the Jets it's the worst
(08:32):
team in the history of sports. Just for the good
of New York, for the good of football, he's got
to sell the team. You gotta sell. I know, it's
maybe make some kind of deal. You can still have
the luxury suite every week and invite all your friends
or something, but you gotta sell the team. It would
(08:55):
be the only decent thing to do for Jets fans.
Put them out of their anyway. He's speaking of sports.
Don Mattingly did not make the Hall of Fame again
this year. That's like seven years in a row. He
doesn't get voted in or the Hall of Fame. That's
not right. So, mom, Donnie, his new plan now is
(09:17):
no more sweeps, homeless sweeps. You know, under Eric adamsespecially
in the last year, you'll notice you don't see a
lot of homeless people all You'll see one here and there,
but you don't see homeless camps. You don't see any
of that. They've been cleaning it up. It's a great,
great plan, mom, Donnie is going to eliminate that. He's
going to allow the homeless encampments. Being a crazy left
(09:39):
wing socialist.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The issue with the encampment sweeps is that they are
simply pushing New Yorkers who are living in the cold
to another place where they will live in the cold.
In three hundred and sixty five days of twenty twenty four,
this administration did not connect a single New Yorker affected
by these sweeps with permanent housing. That is a failure.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, so that could be, but of course that's not.
There's two problems. One, you want to do something about
the homeless, get them some place to live. But the
other problem is you want to protect the area where
the camp is, if it's a Union Square, or if
it's a wherever it is, if it's thirty fourth and fifth,
you don't want a homeless camp. Or you want to
(10:21):
protect the neighborhood, the block, the buildings. You get rid
of the homeless encampment. You've got to get rid of it.
Otherwise you ruin the neighborhood. You do tremendous damage to businesses, apartments,
economic damage. It creates chaos. It's pretty obvious. And he
says that the homeless were never connected to permanent house.
Well that doesn't you know, Just get them off the street,
(10:42):
find them someplace. It doesn't have to be permanent. You
can work on that later.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the
housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem
anything you're doing to be a success. We are going
to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting
those New Yorkers to housing, whether it's supportive housing, whether
it's rental housing, whatever kind of housing it is.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, see, no, not really. Job number one is clean
up the street, clean up the chaos. That was part
of the plan. At some point you could find them
permanent housing. You know, you could say, well what about
the shelters. First of all, clean up the shelters. You know,
remember Deblasio would inspect the shelter and he'd say, well,
people can't go here. It's got rodents, it's got crime. Well,
(11:27):
as Giuliani showed, you can fix that. You come in
the next day with an army of exterminators, get rid
of the rodents, You come in with a bunch of security,
and get rid of the You can do that now.
They find. The other thing is the homeless will not
go into the shelters. They won't stay in the shelters.
Why because you're not allowed to use drugs. You're not
(11:48):
allowed to drink in there. Now, most of the homeless,
they're vast majority. It's not about economics, it's about addiction.
They're addicts drugs, alcohol, crack whatever. That's why they're out there.
But Adams is pretty good with his sweep the streets.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
If he's stating he's no longer going to implement a
smart policy on our part, New Yorkers are about to
see the repercussions of that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, now again, why Democrats are incapable of learning anything.
They've done this in other cities where they don't do
the homelessweeps, they leave the encampments. About twenty other cities
have tried this every single time. It's absolute disaster. So
you've tested it twenty times. It's a total disaster. How
(12:34):
could you not learn anything from the tests? But that's
Democrats left wing. They don't learn. You know, even germs
learn germs actually, you know, they learn. They changed. They
you know, you get a virus that mutates, they know
how to mutate change. Democrats forget it. They can't do it.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
We stated it was inhumane for people to live on
the streets, human waste drug path Finalia a schizophrenic bipolar,
living on our subways, living in our streets. We said, no,
you deserve to be inside with care. Now, if he's
stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
on our part, New Yorkers are going to see the
(13:18):
repercussions of that.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, but you can't tell Mam Donnie anything. It's impossible.
But Adams has actually done a good jeb. Now, Randy Mastro,
he's the deputy first deputy mayor, which means he really
runs everything. He runs city off top guy, Randy Mastro.
He was first deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani. So he's
(13:39):
That's one reason you saw everything change a year ago
when Randy Mastro came in. That's how everything got better
and better and better. But he's put in his resident
resignation for New Year's Eve. He leaves because the next day,
New Year's Day, Mam Donnie takes over the next day.
How bad will it get? I don't know, you know
(14:04):
one thing about Mom Donnie. Like a lot of these guys,
and I remember, he's very, very very Deblasio. Like Deblasio.
You don't remember this, but he ran as a socialist.
He ran with all the same crazy kooky socialism, left
wing stuff. But as soon as he got elected, he
started cozying up to every billionaire in the city. Deblasio's
(14:25):
campaign was anti billionaire about it. Remember it was about
there's two New York's, one for the zillionaires, one for
everybody else. We got to go after these billionaires. And
as soon as he got elected, Deblasio did go after
the billionaires, but in a different way. It's all in
my own eyes. Anytime he saw one of these billionaires,
he go right up to them, Hey, how are you
(14:46):
you have my cell number? No, let me give you
my cell number. They knew what that meant. They meant
it means you can call him anytime you need anything.
He'll take care of you. And they know what it means.
It means also, a guy's gonna call you every couple
of weeks and want some money donation. That's normal. The
bazillionaire will get a call. Can you do fifty? Yeah,
(15:08):
I can do fifty. It means fifty thousand, All right,
We'll tell you where to send it, and they'd give
you the name of a pack. They want you to
donate it too, And every couple of months you do
that and then whenever you needed something you could call. Well,
Mom Donnie has already started down this road. Now he
claims it's for his transition team, but he went around
(15:31):
Mom Donnie and company, coosing up to all the billionaires.
He wanted to raise some money for the transition team. And,
believe it or not, in the last couple of weeks
he raised four million from these billionaires. He's been all
over them and he's continued to do it there. He's
been doing these private fundraisers with billionaires. There was one
(15:52):
in Michael, I can't pronounce this guy's name, billionaire ceo
crypto guy held a fundraiser and his great village home.
The next day, Mom Donnie was in a private Tribbee
Tribeca home where the Hunt oil eras Lee Hunt Hendricks,
hosted another big fundraiser for him. Two uptown events, one
(16:15):
lower east Side. These are all zillionaires, billionaires, thousand dollars
a ticket, millions raised from these donors. Now, what does
the transition team need so much money for? Well, as
they said, most of the funds will go toward office operations,
which is fine, but that's more like forty thousand to
(16:36):
operate the office. You don't need four million to do that,
you really don't. So they were raising millions and millions.
This is a good sign. That's a good sign. It
means he's even more Deblasio like than we thought. Hey,
once again, here's the real estate report. Sales are booming
in New York. Don't think everybody's leaving. In the last month,
eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have been signed in
(17:00):
the real high end. The super luxury four million dollar
plus apartment sales were very strong. Just last week, forty
one contracts were signed. That's a lot shows buyer confidence.
This is all since the election. Many skyscrapers are now
being going to be built. As I mentioned, JP Morgan
Chase just opened this four billion dollar unbelievable, unbelievable skyscraper
(17:25):
where ten thousand works. They're now looking for at least one,
maybe two new skyscrapers. They're going to build nearby on
the corner of fifty second and Park. They're tearing down
like four buildings there to build a ninety story skyscraper.
So these big real estate guys, they got a lot
of faith in New York City and these are That's
(17:46):
how they got to be billionaires. They're always right about
this stuff. Hey, well, take some calls. Next. Eight hundred
three to two one zero seven ten is the number
eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
No mark some own show on w A long.

(19:53):
take some calls. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
how you doing, good.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Morning, ma'm ok, good morning, Mark. The first thing I
want to say, before I get to my main point,
Jessica Tish is going down the wrong road. She apologized
on behalf of her brother because her brother had a
Jewish philanthropic meeting said that Mondami was the enemy of
the Jewish people, and she jumps in and apologizes on
(20:21):
his bef. I would never accept that, I tell her now,
I wouldn't vote for I'd vote for the brother. Part
of the problem with Mondami's plan is I get calls
from the city and from the federal government to rent
to homeless people, to Section eight, to drug addicts, to this,
that and the other. And the problem is is you
(20:42):
rent to those people, and they even guarantee that they're
gonna pay you to rent and everything. What happens to
the other tenants when they're in the building. What kind
of a mess they're gonna make. My father years ago,
almost fifty years ago, in one of his buildings that
he owned, very large apartment building, he had a person
or a woman who was a degenerate. She was on welfare.
(21:06):
She didn't pay her rent for two years. My father
finally got her in court and house in court right
and the judge order and the city was going to
pay was going to give her the money to pay
the back rent. To pay the back rent, she flipped
the bird on the judge, told the judge where to go,
and the judge issued in order. She flipped the bird.
(21:31):
My father winded up. He actually died before they could
get the tenant out, and the new landlord who bought
the building, he eventually sold it because of this tenant.
That's the problem with these people. They have to live
marked in a supervised dormitory where they have to get
up at a certain time where they have to either
(21:53):
go to work or that's.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
An excellent point. Excellent point to the dormitory.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Mark. They can't live in regular house.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Excellent call as always, Vincent, thanks for calling. Hey. When
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us next
lots to talk to her about coming up on seven
to ten wr in Mark on Demand by setting a
presead for his podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Now back to Mark Simone on wo.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, Hey, Miranda Divine, I would say now the number
one biggest columnist in America, of course, all our columns
the New York Post website. Hey. Also, you know she's
the best selling author. If you haven't read the book
The Big Guy. This is all about Biden Hunter the
Biden administration. Joe, you got to get this book, The
Big Guy. It's a huge bestseller. If you need a
good Christmas present, the book The Big Guy by Miranda Divine. Also,
(22:46):
she does one of the best podcasts around. It's called
pod Force one. You can get it wherever you get
a podcasts. Since she's with us right now, Miranda Divine,
how you doing? Nope, I don't hear Miranda Devine.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Are you there, hi, Mike, Oh there, you are.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Great to talk to you. Where do we even start? Hey,
this pipe bomber who tried to blow up the RNC
and the DNC. The Trump administration catches the guy. Three
week investigation. It's great. What happened for the last five years,
nothing happened. Nobody looked for the guy.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, I mean that is the big question.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
And I think Cash, Puttel and Pambondi alluded to that
when they said that we had no new information, just
fresh eyes, and the information seemed.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
To be there right in front of them when you
look at the.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Court documents. The other day on Friday, when this guy,
Brian Cole Junior was arraigned, it shows that they got
him through his cell phone. It pinned seven times on
that night of January twenty one, around the time that
the surveillance cameras showed this gray hooded figure wandering around
(24:09):
planting pipe bombs just half a mile from the Capitol.
And it's you know, the guy is seen on his
phone in these videos several times or the person and
the phone companies have said, yeah, there it is. And
they knew that back in April of twenty twenty one,
(24:31):
at the latest, April of twenty twenty one, the FBI
had that information. But something strange happened to that investigation.
They had thirteen FBI special agents on the pipe bomb
case initially, and then they just.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They just deprioritized it. I think, you know, Chris Ray
ends up.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Going before the Senate on March the first and gets
hammered by Democrats demanding to know why he hasn't arrested
more grandmothers for trespassing outside the capital, more Trump supporters,
and and you know, maybe it's as simple as that,
but the FBI was not looking for this pipe bomber
(25:16):
because the the answer was staring them in the face.
And they spent a lot of resources doing a lot
of stupid, well I don't know stupid, but you know,
difficult things trying to track down, you know, who bought
batteries nine volt batteries, and who bought you know, the
cap that was end cap on the pipe bomb, et cetera.
(25:38):
When they were rounding up the grandmothers from J six
using cell phone data, So very strange. And then there
was the case that the the FBI guy in charge
of the whole investigation, the head of the Washington FBI
Field office, a guy retired now Stephen Duane hook Twono,
(26:02):
He testified to Congress and in a closed door hearing
and he said, oh, we got some some of this
cell phone data, but.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It was corrupted. Maybe the culprit.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Was in that cell phone data. And yet the cell
phone company said, no, no, we didn't hand over anything
that was corrupted, and the FBI never complained that it
was corrupted. So that's another little mystery.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is it this simple that when they looked at this
pipe bombing case, because he tried to blow up the
RNC and the DNC, that it was pretty clear it
was not going to turn out to be a Trump supporter,
So it didn't fit the narrative, so they just let
it go for that reason.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yes, and maybe they knew that the suspect was a
young black man at the time, he would have been
twenty five and probably not a MAGA supporter. Didn't fit
with their narrative that January sixth was an insurrection committed
by ultra MAGA white supremacists. You know, Joe Biden dined
(27:03):
out on that for the next four years. They thought
that January sixth was the nail in the coffin of
Trump's career prospects. And then they just to make sure,
they decided to bang eighty one different indictments on him,
and none of it worked. And now they're in trouble
and about to be found out. Not that they really care,
(27:25):
because five years have gone past almost and I guess
they figure they're home free.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, but they always think they got the nail in
the coffin. They think the Epstein file that's the nail
in the coffin, the Narco boats, that's they're always wrong
every time. How come they don't learn from their mistakes.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Because they actually get benefit from them.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Oh, because they don't destroy him, but they certainly knock
off a bit of support you know, suddenly people start grumbling.
The White House needs to turn its attention to refusing
the lies. It's just it's all about tying him down.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I always think of Donald.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Trump as like, you know, Gulliver and Gulliver's troubles, and
he's got all the little midgets just tying him.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Down, and he breaks free. He always breaks free.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Or he's like the bull in the ring and the
little guys come out come of what they're called.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
But they throw the darts at.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Him and the spears and just weaking him up before
the Matador. And of course the Matador is an old
broken down hack.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Which was Joe Biden.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
But by that stage their damage had been done. You know,
they do inflict Don Trump withstands a lot, but he
does get batter than bruised because he's human. And this
is what they do when it works for them, and
they're just playing the same old playbook with a few
different characters.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Huh. That's interesting. Now, whatever you're mad at Trump for
the blowing up the Narco boats, whatever it is, Biden
Obama did exactly the same thing with drone strikes. Whatever.
Whatever you're pointing to, you can point to that Biden
did it, Obama did it? How come that doesn't register
with the MSNBC viewers.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Oh, because they just call it what about ism and
they just focus on.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
The outrage in front of them.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Yeah, it's an old worn playbook. And luckily ms NOW,
as they call themselves, just have you know, dwindling the
audience and dwindling influence, and the same with CNN. So
I mean there's fewer people that they can propagandize. I
thought it was rather disturbing in that FBI report I
(29:36):
wrote about last week from a group of sort of.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Whistleblower type people.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
They said that every every television in the different field
officers at the FBI is tuned into ms NOW and CNN,
but never Fox, and so they've got that scardy drow.
It is like propaganda. It's like Radio Rwanda before the
(30:04):
Civil war. You know, you just keep on the drum
beat the other side. They're evil, they're doing bad things.
Donald Trump's a monster. And you know you get that
pumped into your head twenty four to seven or every
minute that you're at work, and then you go home
and do.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The same thing. It has to have an effect.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, Now, the story was the good men and women
in the FBI, it was just a bad left wing
cooks on the ninth floor there with call me. But
now we're hearing there were a lot of left wing
cooks in the ranks put there by Muller and called
me through the years. I think you.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Reported that, yeah, yes, And you know it's because it
was a deliberate decision by Muller. I'm not sure he
particularly wanted lefties, but he certainly wanted university educated agents,
and so they He really revolutionized the ranks. And when
you bring in people from the universities who've done soft
(30:58):
social sciences, inevitably they're going to be propagandaized lefties. And
that changed the tenor, I'm told from some old hands
of the fort the Bureau. And then of course Comey
was a bad guy, and they started to prioritize high
(31:19):
So of all the professions, of all the university educated professions,
who are the most left wing, well you'd have social
workers and teachers, and they prioritized teachers. So there you
have it, and teachers have got the added disadvantage. There
are great teachers. I Am never going to take that
(31:40):
away from them, but they would know themselves, and they
tell me themselves that they are surrounded by lefties who
are also very arrogant because they're used to having classrooms
of children who they can command, and so they waltzed
into the FBI like they owned the place.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Interesting. Well, Miranda Divine, great work as always. Now you
do Pod Force one. You should listen to her podcast,
Pod Force one. Who's on the next episode.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Well, on Wednesday, we're talking to Hamik Dillon, who's just
an attorney general who's in charge of the Civil Rights
Division at the DOJ, and she is amazing talk about
she would be one of the best warriors in the
administration for the good things. She's against big tech, censorship,
and all sorts of government over each she's.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Waded in where others fear to tread.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
And she's also voter integrity. That's one of her big things.
And I think she's going to do a.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Lot of good.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
There are a lot of states are resisting her demands
that they hand over their voter rolls to make sure
that they're clean.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But knowing her, she'll make sure she gets it all done.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, and before Wednesday, you know what, go listen to
the past episodes of Pod Force one with President Trump
with a.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
Scott Bessont's great Yeah, our latest one's Ron Johnson interesting
on quite a few on Russia Gate and interestingly on
He's got to be in his bonnet about Tower seven
at the World Trade Center, so which is interesting because
it did blow up.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
In a weird way and we do know that there
were CIA and FBI floors, there was lots of files.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Well, everybody go listen to Podforce one the podcast wherever
you get your podcasts. Hey, and get the book if
you haven't read it yet, The Big Guy by Miranda
Divine also a good Christmas present, The Big Guy, great
book and reader column. Of course they're all up on
the New York Post website. Miranda Divine, thanks for being
with us.
Speaker 2 (33:39):
Thanks so much, Mark, I take care.
Speaker 1 (33:41):
Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay. Coming up noon today
seven to ten woir, mister.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
New York mar Simon seven ten WR.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Hey, we're out of time, In fact, we're really out
of time, so I gotta go. I'll be back tomorrow
ten to noon. Talk to you then, seven ten WR
Welcome back to the Mark Simone SHOWR Well freezing cold today.
So we're just talking about this a moment ago, Marjorie
Taylor Green. You remember that loony woman, Marjorie Taylor Green.
So she turned on Trump when on Trump started attacking him,
(00:23):
attacking him, attacking him. Trump attacked her back, called her
a trader. So she left politics. Now, the reason she
left politics is all the polling show she couldn't win,
She would not win reelection, so it looks better just
to resign, drop out, so you're not going to run again.
And you know, sixty minutes would never put a woman
(00:45):
like that on the air, crazy conspiracy theory, nutty. They
would never put her on sixteen minutes. Ever, unless she
starts attacking Trump. Then all of a sudden, she's the
big interview last night, the big superstar interview of sixty minutes.
She's the main feature, an interview with Marjorie Taylor Green.
She's attacking Trump. They love her, they put her on
(01:06):
the ear. She did have one great moment though, where
Leslie Stall said to her, you know our awful toxic politics,
all the crazy partisan She said you She looked at
Marjorie Taylor Green. You know, you were a big part
of the toxic politics. And good for Marjorie Taylor Green.
(01:27):
She goes, and you weren't. She said, Leslie, you were
as toxic as anybody politically, which is true. I mean,
Leslie Stall got caught in more lying fake news. Remember
the famous Trump interview where he talked about the surveillance
on his campaign and Leslie Stall said there's no truth
to that. Well, of course it turned out to be
(01:47):
absolutely true, and she looked ridiculous. But President Trump went
on truth social last night, really went after sixty minutes,
Paramount attacking them like crazy. He really unleashed on them.
He said, under Paramont's sixty minutes even got worse. It's
actually even worse now than before. Well, give them time.
(02:10):
The cleaning house there, it's going to take a while.
It's gonna be done very slowly. They're going to get
rid of people one by one. Leslie Stall will be gone.
Gail King has already gone. I mean she's still on,
but she's leaving. All these people will be leaving. They'll
slowly clean up this mess. It's going to take a while.
Now Paramount is in the good graces of the Trump
(02:32):
administrass and they don't want to lose that because they
still want to get Warner Brothers Discovery. Looks like Netflix
won the bidding war to take over Warner Brothers, which
includes a lot of stuff. It includes HBO, it includes
all kinds. One of the reasons people want this company
is the Warner Brothers Studio is actually the biggest movie
(02:53):
studio in Hollywood, and it's a very important major production facility.
And if your Netflix making a lot of movies and
TV shows and all that kind of stuff, so you
could use that big studio. Also, you could use HBO,
HBO Max, all that stuff as a platform. There's a
lot of other stuff in CNN means absolutely nothing in
(03:15):
this It doesn't make much money. It doesn't have any viewers.
It's a little, tiny nothing thing in there. In fact,
if they could get rid of that and the deal,
they would Netflix doesn't want it. But part of the
deal Wanner Brothers Discovery, if you buy the company, you
got to take CNN off our hands too. We don't
want it either. So although somebody buying this could maybe
(03:37):
use it for something, you know, you get rid of
all the CNN stuff and it's still a cable network
that's on all the cable systems. But even that's not
of much value nowadays. So Netflix has won the bidding
where now they may still not get it. They may
not get the deal because the Trump administration would have
to approve all of this and they could block it.
There's all sorts of reasons to block the Netflix deal.
(04:01):
I mean good business reasons. It's too much of a
monopoly and it would create too big of one streaming service,
so it could be held up. And that means Paramount,
who was the second place bidder, could just raise their
numbers a little and get it. So they're still in
the running. But if Trump's mad at them over sixty minutes,
(04:22):
that's not going to help. The price now is like
thirty dollars a year. This will go to thirty five
dollars a year because you can spin off a lot
of these cable assets and probably get another three four
dollars a year. So don't be so sure Netflix gets it,
and don't be so sure the price doesn't go up
in the in the end. Hey, the New York Jets,
(04:48):
there are a lot of Jets fans out there, die
hard Jets fans, been going on their whole life. They
love the Jets. You could try to reason with them.
It's like people with Trump the arrangement syndrome. You can't
reason with them. You know, it's the same thing with
the Mets. Mets fans, but every so often, the Mets
(05:08):
get pretty good every so often. The Mets are in
the playoffs in the World Series every so often. But
with the Jets, nothing good ever happens. If you're going
to be a Jets fan, you're just asking for heartbreak
and heartache. And so they just got eliminated from the
playoffs yesterday, eliminated from the playoffs every year for fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
If you look back at the history of the Jets,
you got Joe Namath, You've got great Jets teams, you
got some great So what's the problem. It's one guy.
It's Woody Johnson, who's a very nice guy. He's a
friend of mine. I like the guy, but he's the
worst owner in the history of sports. He is a
(05:58):
great guy in real life. He's a generous guy. He's
done a lot of public service. He's a good guy.
Woody Johnson, he has no business owning a football team.
He's not just a bad owner. Everybody agrees. I'm not
an expert. You talk to all the greatest football expert
sports experts, they all agree he's the single worst owner
(06:20):
in the history of sports. This is the worst franchise
in the history of sports. There are people in the
professional sports football world saying that they should come up
with something in the NFL world where an owner can
be eliminated if he's that bad. In other words, you know,
they're very careful who they give the team to. To
(06:41):
become an NFL owner is like the ultimate club of
the world to be accepted there. But there should be
some mechanism where a guy turns out to be the
worst owner on earth and it's hopeless, total disaster that
the NFL can make him sell the team. There should
be something like that for a case like this. This
guy is so unbeloe believably horrendously bad as an owner. Now,
(07:03):
he bought the team for this is years ago for
about six hundred million. It's now worth I think it's
eight billion, but some are saying it's worth ten billion.
So if he's forced to sell, he would make like
a nine and a half million a billion, nine and
a half billion dollar profit. So I mean, if you
(07:25):
forced him to sell it, it's a great thing for
him too. I mean, you should be very happy. What's
the point of owning a team. Well, some people have
just really loved football in sports and they want to
they're really into Now this guy's that came. I think
it's more of a social thing. To be an NFL
team owner is quite an honor. It's the highest honor
(07:46):
there is for a billionaire. But also it's a great thing.
Every Sunday, you host everybody in your big, huge suite,
you invite fifty one hundred friends. It's quite a thing.
So now you might be saying, well, wait a minute,
maybe he really is a great, great lover of football.
I don't think so. I mean, if he was that
into football, he'd know what he was doing. I mean,
(08:09):
nobody is worse at running, so it's pretty obvious he
doesn't know anything about football, and he spent money. He
goes out and gets these great players, sometimes Aaron Rodgers
and others. But you'll notice whenever they get a great
player and bring them in, they ruin the guy. I
don't care how good a quarterback you are, you are
ruined when you come to the Jets it's the worst
(08:32):
team in the history of sports. Just for the good
of New York, for the good of football, he's got
to sell the team. You gotta sell. I know, it's
maybe make some kind of deal. You can still have
the luxury suite every week and invite all your friends
or something, but you gotta sell the team. It would
(08:55):
be the only decent thing to do for Jets fans.
Put them out of their anyway. He's speaking of sports.
Don Mattingly did not make the Hall of Fame again
this year. That's like seven years in a row. He
doesn't get voted in or the Hall of Fame. That's
not right. So, mom, Donnie, his new plan now is
(09:17):
no more sweeps, homeless sweeps. You know, under Eric adamsespecially
in the last year, you'll notice you don't see a
lot of homeless people all You'll see one here and there,
but you don't see homeless camps. You don't see any
of that. They've been cleaning it up. It's a great,
great plan, mom, Donnie is going to eliminate that. He's
going to allow the homeless encampments. Being a crazy left
(09:39):
wing socialist.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
The issue with the encampment sweeps is that they are
simply pushing New Yorkers who are living in the cold
to another place where they will live in the cold.
In three hundred and sixty five days of twenty twenty four,
this administration did not connect a single New Yorker affected
by these sweeps with permanent housing. That is a failure.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, so that could be, but of course that's not.
There's two problems. One, you want to do something about
the homeless, get them some place to live. But the
other problem is you want to protect the area where
the camp is, if it's a Union Square, or if
it's a wherever it is, if it's thirty fourth and fifth,
you don't want a homeless camp. Or you want to
(10:21):
protect the neighborhood, the block, the buildings. You get rid
of the homeless encampment. You've got to get rid of it.
Otherwise you ruin the neighborhood. You do tremendous damage to businesses, apartments,
economic damage. It creates chaos. It's pretty obvious. And he
says that the homeless were never connected to permanent house.
Well that doesn't you know, Just get them off the street,
(10:42):
find them someplace. It doesn't have to be permanent. You
can work on that later.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
If you are not connecting homeless New Yorkers to the
housing that they so desperately need, then you cannot deem
anything you're doing to be a success. We are going
to take an approach that understands its mission is connecting
those New Yorkers to housing, whether it's supportive housing, whether
it's rental housing, whatever kind of housing it is.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
Well, see, no, not really. Job number one is clean
up the street, clean up the chaos. That was part
of the plan. At some point you could find them
permanent housing. You know, you could say, well what about
the shelters. First of all, clean up the shelters. You know,
remember Deblasio would inspect the shelter and he'd say, well,
people can't go here. It's got rodents, it's got crime. Well,
(11:27):
as Giuliani showed, you can fix that. You come in
the next day with an army of exterminators, get rid
of the rodents, You come in with a bunch of security,
and get rid of the You can do that now.
They find. The other thing is the homeless will not
go into the shelters. They won't stay in the shelters.
Why because you're not allowed to use drugs. You're not
(11:48):
allowed to drink in there. Now, most of the homeless,
they're vast majority. It's not about economics, it's about addiction.
They're addicts drugs, alcohol, crack whatever. That's why they're out there.
But Adams is pretty good with his sweep the streets.
Speaker 5 (12:04):
If he's stating he's no longer going to implement a
smart policy on our part, New Yorkers are about to
see the repercussions of that.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Yeah, now again, why Democrats are incapable of learning anything.
They've done this in other cities where they don't do
the homelessweeps, they leave the encampments. About twenty other cities
have tried this every single time. It's absolute disaster. So
you've tested it twenty times. It's a total disaster. How
(12:34):
could you not learn anything from the tests? But that's
Democrats left wing. They don't learn. You know, even germs
learn germs actually, you know, they learn. They changed. They
you know, you get a virus that mutates, they know
how to mutate change. Democrats forget it. They can't do it.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
We stated it was inhumane for people to live on
the streets, human waste drug path Finalia a schizophrenic bipolar,
living on our subways, living in our streets. We said, no,
you deserve to be inside with care. Now, if he's
stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
on our part, New Yorkers are going to see the
(13:18):
repercussions of that.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
Yeah, but you can't tell Mam Donnie anything. It's impossible.
But Adams has actually done a good jeb. Now, Randy Mastro,
he's the deputy first deputy mayor, which means he really
runs everything. He runs city off top guy, Randy Mastro.
He was first deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani. So he's
(13:39):
That's one reason you saw everything change a year ago
when Randy Mastro came in. That's how everything got better
and better and better. But he's put in his resident
resignation for New Year's Eve. He leaves because the next day,
New Year's Day, Mam Donnie takes over the next day.
How bad will it get? I don't know, you know
(14:04):
one thing about Mom Donnie. Like a lot of these guys,
and I remember, he's very, very very Deblasio. Like Deblasio.
You don't remember this, but he ran as a socialist.
He ran with all the same crazy kooky socialism, left
wing stuff. But as soon as he got elected, he
started cozying up to every billionaire in the city. Deblasio's
(14:25):
campaign was anti billionaire about it. Remember it was about
there's two New York's, one for the zillionaires, one for
everybody else. We got to go after these billionaires. And
as soon as he got elected, Deblasio did go after
the billionaires, but in a different way. It's all in
my own eyes. Anytime he saw one of these billionaires,
he go right up to them, Hey, how are you
(14:46):
you have my cell number? No, let me give you
my cell number. They knew what that meant. They meant
it means you can call him anytime you need anything.
He'll take care of you. And they know what it means.
It means also, a guy's gonna call you every couple
of weeks and want some money donation. That's normal. The
bazillionaire will get a call. Can you do fifty? Yeah,
(15:08):
I can do fifty. It means fifty thousand, All right,
We'll tell you where to send it, and they'd give
you the name of a pack. They want you to
donate it too, And every couple of months you do
that and then whenever you needed something you could call. Well,
Mom Donnie has already started down this road. Now he
claims it's for his transition team, but he went around
(15:31):
Mom Donnie and company, coosing up to all the billionaires.
He wanted to raise some money for the transition team. And,
believe it or not, in the last couple of weeks
he raised four million from these billionaires. He's been all
over them and he's continued to do it there. He's
been doing these private fundraisers with billionaires. There was one
(15:52):
in Michael, I can't pronounce this guy's name, billionaire ceo
crypto guy held a fundraiser and his great village home.
The next day, Mom Donnie was in a private Tribbee
Tribeca home where the Hunt oil eras Lee Hunt Hendricks,
hosted another big fundraiser for him. Two uptown events, one
(16:15):
lower east Side. These are all zillionaires, billionaires, thousand dollars
a ticket, millions raised from these donors. Now, what does
the transition team need so much money for? Well, as
they said, most of the funds will go toward office operations,
which is fine, but that's more like forty thousand to
(16:36):
operate the office. You don't need four million to do that,
you really don't. So they were raising millions and millions.
This is a good sign. That's a good sign. It
means he's even more Deblasio like than we thought. Hey,
once again, here's the real estate report. Sales are booming
in New York. Don't think everybody's leaving. In the last month,
eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have been signed in
(17:00):
the real high end. The super luxury four million dollar
plus apartment sales were very strong. Just last week, forty
one contracts were signed. That's a lot shows buyer confidence.
This is all since the election. Many skyscrapers are now
being going to be built. As I mentioned, JP Morgan
Chase just opened this four billion dollar unbelievable, unbelievable skyscraper
(17:25):
where ten thousand works. They're now looking for at least one,
maybe two new skyscrapers. They're going to build nearby on
the corner of fifty second and Park. They're tearing down
like four buildings there to build a ninety story skyscraper.
So these big real estate guys, they got a lot
of faith in New York City and these are That's
(17:46):
how they got to be billionaires. They're always right about
this stuff. Hey, well, take some calls. Next. Eight hundred
three to two one zero seven ten is the number
eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
No mark some own show on w A long.
Speaker 6 (18:06):
Hey.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Oh.

We raise money for Hunger than which is a very
very good cause that they work really hard. They raise

(19:53):
take some calls. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
how you doing, good.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Morning, ma'm ok, good morning, Mark. The first thing I
want to say, before I get to my main point,
Jessica Tish is going down the wrong road. She apologized
on behalf of her brother because her brother had a
Jewish philanthropic meeting said that Mondami was the enemy of
the Jewish people, and she jumps in and apologizes on
(20:21):
his bef. I would never accept that, I tell her now,
I wouldn't vote for I'd vote for the brother. Part
of the problem with Mondami's plan is I get calls
from the city and from the federal government to rent
to homeless people, to Section eight, to drug addicts, to this,
that and the other. And the problem is is you
(20:42):
rent to those people, and they even guarantee that they're
gonna pay you to rent and everything. What happens to
the other tenants when they're in the building. What kind
of a mess they're gonna make. My father years ago,
almost fifty years ago, in one of his buildings that
he owned, very large apartment building, he had a person
or a woman who was a degenerate. She was on welfare.
(21:06):
She didn't pay her rent for two years. My father
finally got her in court and house in court right
and the judge order and the city was going to
pay was going to give her the money to pay
the back rent. To pay the back rent, she flipped
the bird on the judge, told the judge where to go,
and the judge issued in order. She flipped the bird.
(21:31):
My father winded up. He actually died before they could
get the tenant out, and the new landlord who bought
the building, he eventually sold it because of this tenant.
That's the problem with these people. They have to live
marked in a supervised dormitory where they have to get
up at a certain time where they have to either
(21:53):
go to work or that's.
Speaker 1 (21:54):
An excellent point. Excellent point to the dormitory.
Speaker 6 (21:58):
Mark. They can't live in regular house.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
Excellent call as always, Vincent, thanks for calling. Hey. When
we come back, Miranda Divine will be with us next
lots to talk to her about coming up on seven
to ten wr in Mark on Demand by setting a
presead for his podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 5 (22:17):
Now back to Mark Simone on wo.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Well, Hey, Miranda Divine, I would say now the number
one biggest columnist in America, of course, all our columns
the New York Post website. Hey. Also, you know she's
the best selling author. If you haven't read the book
The Big Guy. This is all about Biden Hunter the
Biden administration. Joe, you got to get this book, The
Big Guy. It's a huge bestseller. If you need a
good Christmas present, the book The Big Guy by Miranda Divine. Also,
(22:46):
she does one of the best podcasts around. It's called
pod Force one. You can get it wherever you get
a podcasts. Since she's with us right now, Miranda Divine,
how you doing? Nope, I don't hear Miranda Devine.
Speaker 7 (23:03):
Are you there, hi, Mike, Oh there, you are.
Speaker 1 (23:07):
Great to talk to you. Where do we even start? Hey,
this pipe bomber who tried to blow up the RNC
and the DNC. The Trump administration catches the guy. Three
week investigation. It's great. What happened for the last five years,
nothing happened. Nobody looked for the guy.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Well, I mean that is the big question.
Speaker 8 (23:28):
And I think Cash, Puttel and Pambondi alluded to that
when they said that we had no new information, just
fresh eyes, and the information seemed.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
To be there right in front of them when you
look at the.
Speaker 8 (23:44):
Court documents. The other day on Friday, when this guy,
Brian Cole Junior was arraigned, it shows that they got
him through his cell phone. It pinned seven times on
that night of January twenty one, around the time that
the surveillance cameras showed this gray hooded figure wandering around
(24:09):
planting pipe bombs just half a mile from the Capitol.
And it's you know, the guy is seen on his
phone in these videos several times or the person and
the phone companies have said, yeah, there it is. And
they knew that back in April of twenty twenty one,
(24:31):
at the latest, April of twenty twenty one, the FBI
had that information. But something strange happened to that investigation.
They had thirteen FBI special agents on the pipe bomb
case initially, and then they just.
Speaker 2 (24:49):
They just deprioritized it. I think, you know, Chris Ray
ends up.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
Going before the Senate on March the first and gets
hammered by Democrats demanding to know why he hasn't arrested
more grandmothers for trespassing outside the capital, more Trump supporters,
and and you know, maybe it's as simple as that,
but the FBI was not looking for this pipe bomber
(25:16):
because the the answer was staring them in the face.
And they spent a lot of resources doing a lot
of stupid, well I don't know stupid, but you know,
difficult things trying to track down, you know, who bought
batteries nine volt batteries, and who bought you know, the
cap that was end cap on the pipe bomb, et cetera.
(25:38):
When they were rounding up the grandmothers from J six
using cell phone data, So very strange. And then there
was the case that the the FBI guy in charge
of the whole investigation, the head of the Washington FBI
Field office, a guy retired now Stephen Duane hook Twono,
(26:02):
He testified to Congress and in a closed door hearing
and he said, oh, we got some some of this
cell phone data, but.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
It was corrupted. Maybe the culprit.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Was in that cell phone data. And yet the cell
phone company said, no, no, we didn't hand over anything
that was corrupted, and the FBI never complained that it
was corrupted. So that's another little mystery.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Is it this simple that when they looked at this
pipe bombing case, because he tried to blow up the
RNC and the DNC, that it was pretty clear it
was not going to turn out to be a Trump supporter,
So it didn't fit the narrative, so they just let
it go for that reason.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
Yes, and maybe they knew that the suspect was a
young black man at the time, he would have been
twenty five and probably not a MAGA supporter. Didn't fit
with their narrative that January sixth was an insurrection committed
by ultra MAGA white supremacists. You know, Joe Biden dined
(27:03):
out on that for the next four years. They thought
that January sixth was the nail in the coffin of
Trump's career prospects. And then they just to make sure,
they decided to bang eighty one different indictments on him,
and none of it worked. And now they're in trouble
and about to be found out. Not that they really care,
(27:25):
because five years have gone past almost and I guess
they figure they're home free.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, but they always think they got the nail in
the coffin. They think the Epstein file that's the nail
in the coffin, the Narco boats, that's they're always wrong
every time. How come they don't learn from their mistakes.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Because they actually get benefit from them.
Speaker 8 (27:45):
Oh, because they don't destroy him, but they certainly knock
off a bit of support you know, suddenly people start grumbling.
The White House needs to turn its attention to refusing
the lies. It's just it's all about tying him down.
Speaker 2 (28:01):
I always think of Donald.
Speaker 8 (28:02):
Trump as like, you know, Gulliver and Gulliver's troubles, and
he's got all the little midgets just tying him.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
Down, and he breaks free. He always breaks free.
Speaker 8 (28:12):
Or he's like the bull in the ring and the
little guys come out come of what they're called.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
But they throw the darts at.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
Him and the spears and just weaking him up before
the Matador. And of course the Matador is an old
broken down hack.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
Which was Joe Biden.
Speaker 8 (28:29):
But by that stage their damage had been done. You know,
they do inflict Don Trump withstands a lot, but he
does get batter than bruised because he's human. And this
is what they do when it works for them, and
they're just playing the same old playbook with a few
different characters.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Huh. That's interesting. Now, whatever you're mad at Trump for
the blowing up the Narco boats, whatever it is, Biden
Obama did exactly the same thing with drone strikes. Whatever.
Whatever you're pointing to, you can point to that Biden
did it, Obama did it? How come that doesn't register
with the MSNBC viewers.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Oh, because they just call it what about ism and
they just focus on.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
The outrage in front of them.
Speaker 8 (29:13):
Yeah, it's an old worn playbook. And luckily ms NOW,
as they call themselves, just have you know, dwindling the
audience and dwindling influence, and the same with CNN. So
I mean there's fewer people that they can propagandize. I
thought it was rather disturbing in that FBI report I
(29:36):
wrote about last week from a group of sort of.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Whistleblower type people.
Speaker 8 (29:43):
They said that every every television in the different field
officers at the FBI is tuned into ms NOW and CNN,
but never Fox, and so they've got that scardy drow.
It is like propaganda. It's like Radio Rwanda before the
(30:04):
Civil war. You know, you just keep on the drum
beat the other side. They're evil, they're doing bad things.
Donald Trump's a monster. And you know you get that
pumped into your head twenty four to seven or every
minute that you're at work, and then you go home
and do.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The same thing. It has to have an effect.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Yeah, Now, the story was the good men and women
in the FBI, it was just a bad left wing
cooks on the ninth floor there with call me. But
now we're hearing there were a lot of left wing
cooks in the ranks put there by Muller and called
me through the years. I think you.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Reported that, yeah, yes, And you know it's because it
was a deliberate decision by Muller. I'm not sure he
particularly wanted lefties, but he certainly wanted university educated agents,
and so they He really revolutionized the ranks. And when
you bring in people from the universities who've done soft
(30:58):
social sciences, inevitably they're going to be propagandaized lefties. And
that changed the tenor, I'm told from some old hands
of the fort the Bureau. And then of course Comey
was a bad guy, and they started to prioritize high
(31:19):
So of all the professions, of all the university educated professions,
who are the most left wing, well you'd have social
workers and teachers, and they prioritized teachers. So there you
have it, and teachers have got the added disadvantage. There
are great teachers. I Am never going to take that
(31:40):
away from them, but they would know themselves, and they
tell me themselves that they are surrounded by lefties who
are also very arrogant because they're used to having classrooms
of children who they can command, and so they waltzed
into the FBI like they owned the place.
Speaker 1 (31:58):
Interesting. Well, Miranda Divine, great work as always. Now you
do Pod Force one. You should listen to her podcast,
Pod Force one. Who's on the next episode.
Speaker 8 (32:09):
Well, on Wednesday, we're talking to Hamik Dillon, who's just
an attorney general who's in charge of the Civil Rights
Division at the DOJ, and she is amazing talk about
she would be one of the best warriors in the
administration for the good things. She's against big tech, censorship,
and all sorts of government over each she's.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
Waded in where others fear to tread.
Speaker 8 (32:34):
And she's also voter integrity. That's one of her big things.
And I think she's going to do a.
Speaker 2 (32:40):
Lot of good.
Speaker 8 (32:41):
There are a lot of states are resisting her demands
that they hand over their voter rolls to make sure
that they're clean.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
But knowing her, she'll make sure she gets it all done.
Speaker 1 (32:51):
Yeah, and before Wednesday, you know what, go listen to
the past episodes of Pod Force one with President Trump
with a.
Speaker 7 (32:58):
Scott Bessont's great Yeah, our latest one's Ron Johnson interesting
on quite a few on Russia Gate and interestingly on
He's got to be in his bonnet about Tower seven
at the World Trade Center, so which is interesting because
it did blow up.
Speaker 8 (33:16):
In a weird way and we do know that there
were CIA and FBI floors, there was lots of files.
