Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mark Simon Show on seven to tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey it's Friday. That's the good news. We got a
lot to get through this hour, the Mayor Ol Debate,
No Kings, Zelenski and Letitia James and John Bolton. And
if you can't listen to the show live, you know
you can listen to the podcast if for some reason
you can't listen ten to noon. Anyplace you get your podcast,
you'll find the podcast of this show. And by the way,
(00:28):
on the weekends there's a bonus segment that's not on
the air. You'll get a whole extra bit of a
show on the weekends if you're a podcast listener. So
the Mayor All Race, the debate was last night. It
was one hour on television and one hour after that
just streaming YouTube and all of that. It was a
(00:49):
little too long. Got the point after the first hour
and into the second hour. Imagine a lot of people
tuning out. It was just too long. Curtis won the debate.
I don't know if people notice that. That's the only problem.
It was Channel four running the debate, which is always
not good. They kept trying to bury Curtis, they kept
trying to hide him, they kept going to Cuomo and
(01:10):
Mam Donni more and more and more and more and less.
Curtis even pointing that out to the moderators at one
point he was great in the debate. The problem is,
does anybody notice that he won? Does it get seen
by enough people? There was no big knockout punch, That's
the problem. Moderators wouldn't even allow a space for that
(01:31):
to happen. Mam Donnie, if you were, I imagine he
lost some boats last night for one reason. He just
looked a little.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The Mam Donnie of the primaries was much faster and
more on target. This Mam Donnie was being very careful,
hedging a lot of his stuff and watering down a
lot of his points and trying to stay neutral on
a lot of things. So it wasn't the same, Mom Donnie.
Cuomo was talking in that voice that he talks in,
(02:03):
that slow talk where he goes up and down and
he goes into that sing song when he talks. So
it wasn't effective. And he is we're talking about last year,
he got way too skinny. I don't know what it
is with the ozampic, but he lost all his bulk.
You know, you need to look a little a little
more manly to be to do Cuomo's act. He just
(02:24):
looks too scrawny. Now, Curtis was great, and he did
it without the beret on. Here's a bit of Curtis
last night, high level stuff. You know, he kept trying
to hit Curtis with the Trump stuff. He's the only
guy on the stage that has absolutely nothing to do
with Trump. Mom, Donnie uh Trump. That's a big war
(02:44):
and Cuomo and Trump. Trump has been backing Cuomo. Trump
has been on the phone trying to get help Cuomo,
trying to get Curtis. So Cuomo a deep Trump connection.
Curtis is the only one with nothing to do with Trump.
He's had no relation with Trump, no interest in Trump,
vice versa. They don't really have much. They have never
(03:05):
had anything to do with each other. They've never liked
that and each other. Now this could be a help
to Curtis that he has no Trump connection at all.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Well, there's high levels of testoster and in this room.
I've had a love hate relationship with Donald Trump that
goes back.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Over thirty years.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But I know one thing. We have Andrew Cuomo, we
have zon Mondami. They want to take on Donald Trump. Look,
you can be tough, but you can't be tough if
it's going to cost people desperately needed federal funds. Jorn Mondami,
the president has already said it's gonna take seven billion
dollars out of the budget right from the start if
(03:41):
you're elected mayor Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Now, a couple of times he called them Zorhan or something,
and I'm Donnie quickly said it's Zoran. Anytime you get
into that name correcting business, you're gonna you're not doing well.
I mean, Kamala, Kama, Kamala, whatever the hell her name is.
Remember she kept doing that name correcting thing. Oh if
you're mis name. If you're going to be doing that
on the campaign trail, you got a problem.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
More of Curtis President of the United States, should have
been applauded by you, Johanmandami and you Andrew Como on
the day that he brought together that international coalition that
met in Egypt that came from the Middle East and
the Persian Goal. I certainly applauded him for bringing peace
to Gaza and trying to end the hostilities in the
war between the Israelis and Hamas so they can be
(04:28):
peace between the Israelis and peace between the Palestinians. But
you seem z are on to be incapable appraising our
president and Aelwa you were incapable of. We have to
give credit where credit, sue, He's brought peace to gosh.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now it's Channel four running the debate. They really stink
at running a debate, maybe deliberately. They have this thing
about thirty second answers, which is ridiculous. It's a debate.
It should be two minute answers, not thirty seconds. It's
not a game show. And hopefully President Trump watched the
debate life night. He's been backing Cuomo for the last
couple months. He's been a big Cuomo backer behind the scenes,
(05:05):
trying to get everybody out. So Cuomo can I hope
he watched it last night, so he realizes that Cuomo
talks funny in the debates and that he's not gonna
win when he talks like that. And I don't think
he really you know, I mean, the guy's a little busy,
he's president of the United States. I don't think he
was watching the primary debates. I think if he actually
(05:27):
watched Cuoma in a debate, he think twice about backing him.
Here's Cuomo last night.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
The Assemblyman will not announce from us. The Assemblyman will
not announce the san piker who said America deserved nine
to eleven. The Assemblyman just said in his response, well,
it depends on occupation. That is code, meaning that the
Israel does not have a right to exist as a
(05:53):
Jewish state, which he has never acknowledged.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, you know the funny thing in this race, Curtis
is the only New York City candidate. Mam Donnie just
got to this country a few years ago. He just
became a citizen recently. He's not a New Yorker. And
Cuomo was born in New York, but he's lived his
entire adult life in the suburbs, not in New York City.
It's very unusual, very very unusual. You've had mayors from
(06:20):
out of ten. David Dinkins grew up in New Jersey,
Michael Bloomberg was from Massachusetts, but they lived their entire
adult lives in New York. Cuomo would be the first
governor not from New York City. His entire adult life
has been out there in the suburbs. He was more
of Cuomo last night.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
He still won't denounce globalized the intafada, which means kill
old Jews. Just say I denounced it.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
He won't do it.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
That's the issue and his divisiveness ronic.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yep, you're talking. Got to stop you. That's the stupid
channel for these moderators. He's talking, stop them, Stop them.
Police were a big issue of.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
He doesn't like the police. That's why he won't hire
more police when everyone else says we need more police.
He wants to use social workers on domestic violence calls,
which are very dangerous. And he's told you what he thinks.
He thinks the police are racist, wicked, corrupt, and a
threat to public safety.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Thank you, those are his words.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's a channel four matters. Stop talking. You can't know talking.
It's a debate. No talking his mom Donnie on the police.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I'm proud to have a comprehensive plan to bring new
ideas to this city. If you want more of the same,
vote for Andrew Cuomo. If you want an actual approach
to lower crime, look at our Department of Community Safety.
That is something that has been hailed by experts as
addressing so many of the pieces of why New Yorkers
are not feeling safe today. We will ensure that no
longer our police officers asked to do the job of
(07:50):
both policing and responding to the mental health crisis.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
All right, now, you got two guys who are not
good with cops. Mom Donnie obviously hates cops. Cuomo was
terrible with the cops, took away their qualified immunity, changed
the parole board to let all the criminals out. He's
almost left wing. Parole board let out forty three cop killers,
clmost the one of the close prisons, let the prisoners out.
(08:13):
He's the no bail, no jail. I mean, nobody did
more damage for policing than Cuomo. Curtis the best on
crime fighting.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
What you have proposed with this new police outrage unit.
Well in danger women and children, in domestic violent situations.
I know I've been involved in so many of them
with the Guardian Angels.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
They will be killed.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
They will be made number two. And dealing with emotionally
disturbed persons that I have dealt with for all my
years since the Guardian Angels. You need trained professional police officer.
Think yes, you can have mental health workers with Thank you,
mister stick. That has been suggested. It was by the
homeless out and the guy you thought was the best,
say build the Blasio disbands.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Isn't this Channel four? The Channel four moderators WNBCTV there
the absolute worst at a debate. As soon as you're
talking and making appoint mister Slee, we have to move on.
We have to get the climate change. Please stop talking.
You don't want anybody to talk anyway. Hey, let's get
the John Bolton. John Bolton has been indicted. He's facing
(09:16):
eight counts of this, ten counts of that. He's going
to have a real problem. It looks like they've got him.
I absolutely got him on the classified documents. I mean,
there it is. And the guy, you know, it's one
thing if you steal him in a box, or put
him like Joe Biden in a box, or you put
him under your arm and take them like Joe Biden.
But when you email them to yourself, there's a record.
(09:37):
There's a record of you doing it. There. It is
on the server. They can see you did it. So
he's got a real problem. This guy could get ten
years in prison. Knowing President Trump, he probably wouldn't send
him in a prison. It probably commute the sentence or something.
But he's going to get convicted. And as far as Bolton, now,
let this make one thing clear. This is not lawfair.
(09:58):
Media left wing, Oh, this is a lawfair. No lawfair
is when you't get indicted in four different cities at
the same time. That's lawfair when you get Can you
imagine look what Bolton's going through. It's going to drain
his finances. It's going to be a nightmare. Look what
Trump went through. They did it to him in four
cities at the same time. He's in four different cities
getting indicted in Atlanta and New York and DC and Florida.
(10:22):
It was absolutely ridiculous. Now, as far as Bolton getting
indicted and convicted for the classified documents, as Joe Peschi
said in Casino, this guy was just begging if he
made an example of when it was Trump who did
not really have anything serious. You know, it's going to
turn out Bolton had some serious classified documents. Trump. You
(10:42):
saw those hundreds and hundreds of boxes. No classified documents
were in those boxes. It turned out they did find
thirty five mildly nothing things. And the thirty five if
you put them in a folder, it's about one inch thick.
That's one inch of one box. Bolton had lots of
stuff and Bolton when it was Trump, Bolton went all
(11:04):
over the airwave saying, Trump with taking classified documents is
the most serious crime. You must be executed tonight. You
must kept going on and on about it's the worst
crime in the world. Let me see if I can
find Bolton saying.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
That this is a devastating indictment. I speak here as
an alumnus of the Justice Department myself, because not only
is it powerful, it's very narrowly tailored. They didn't throw
everything up against the wall to see what would stick.
This really is a rifle shot. And I think it
should be the end of Donald Trump's political career.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well yeah, no, he goes on and on. Bolton was
all over television saying taking classified documents the most serious
crime there is. So I'm sure this is real karma,
real karma. And again it's not lawfair. Lawfairs're getting dited
in four cities at the same time for crimes that
nobody can even figure out. Oh hey, Trump meets with
(11:59):
Zelensky today day, big White House meeting taking place today,
and then at five o'clock he leaves for mar a Lago.
This will be the first time he goes to mar
A Lago. It's I don't think I think it reopens
Halloween officially, but I guess he's going to get it
in shape. Halloween is a week away, right, I think
it's yeah, a week or two away, So it'll be
(12:22):
the first time he goes down there. Those women, those
Palm Beach women that all descend on mar A Lago,
the ones that chase Trump around the ballroom going, how
are you remember me? No, Howie you you know that crowd.
He's going to see them again. Millennia will be cringing
at them. So that's a later today. Hey, tomorrow's the
No Kings rally. These are this is going to be
(12:45):
all over the place. There'll be a major, huge, one
times square, but they'll be all over the city and
they'll be all over the suburbs. So wherever you are, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Long Island, they're going to be all over
the place, these No Kings Rallies, So steer clear of them.
Mike Johnson says they're actually the Hate America rallies. The
problem with the Democrats, they've become so filled with rage
(13:07):
and hate most of it at Donald Trump. But they're
so busy hating Trump, resisting Trump that they're no longer
talking about issues. They're no longer debating issues. There's no
issues involved with them anymore. It's just absolute raging hatred,
No kings, nobody knows what the hell that means or
what they're talking about. But that'll be all over the
place tomorrow, So watch out for those. Hey, Letitia James,
(13:33):
you know, the first property with her mortgage fraud case,
she's got her niece living there. The niece is a
fugitive who jumped probation and ran. She absconded. She's a
wanted felon. Now the other house she's got, she's got
her relative living there. It's a family member. This one
(13:54):
is another criminal Letitia James crime family. This is her
grand niece, Kayla Thompson Yerston, who's an only fan star.
If you take a look at her pictures, you'll say,
oh my god, she's an onlyfan star. She's a public
X rated social media presence. But she's also another fugitive
(14:16):
charged in April twenty twenty four with lying about her
felony criminal record when trying to buy a gun. This
is another member of Leticia James family. She was disqualified
from owning a firearm due to a twenty twenty felony
charge of malicious wounding in Virginia, which is to find
as a crime where a person shoots, stabs, cuts her
(14:37):
wounds any person intent to maim or disfigure, or disable
or kill. This is her other family. Maybe, what the
hell kind of family is this? This Leticia James unbelievable. Hey,
the Al Smith dinner last night. Now, it wasn't one
of the big presidential years. Last year's Al Smith dinner.
We had President Trump there and all that, but it's
(14:57):
for a great cause for the Catholic Chair. He's the
Al Smith Dinner at the brand new, reopened Waldorf Ballroom.
After eight years, they finally reopened the Waldorf. It looks
a lot, well, a lot the same, but a lot different.
They've reconfigured things. I think the ballroom looked better before.
It's all kind of silver. Now take over my Instagram
you can see some pictures. Big crowd last night, Robert
(15:21):
Kraft getting a big award, bon Jovi presenting it. But
I've got you can see the pictures on my Instagram.
Go to Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. Mark Simone NYC
at Instagram. Hey, Barry Weiss, the new head of CBS News,
who's going to clean it up and make it fair
and balanced. She was there last night. Everybody given her
a big round of applause. But hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
(15:43):
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Get instant access to Mark by setting a freeset in
the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
Now back to the mars Amon Show on w o R. Hey,
(16:04):
let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Roger a
story of Queen's Roger, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Good? How about you?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Let me check?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Not bad?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Not bad? What'd you want to say? Roger?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
That's good? Yeah, a little bit of good news by
one poll.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Uh at last Stephonic, it looks like she's a point. Yeah,
we don't a poll. A poll wouldn't mean anything. It's
over a year away. Pole wouldn't me anything right now,
but it's that's next year, a year from now. We
hope she wins. But let's go to let's go to
Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart how you.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Doing, hey, Mark.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
You know, anytime you hear any politician talking about sending
social workers with police off, you have to know they
have no clue what in the world they're talking about.
Any master's call can go back in seconds, I mean
turned deadly in seconds. That helster has to worry about
protecting the social worker and protecting himself in the absolute nightmare.
(17:10):
They have no clue what they're doing it any social
worker would have. Is that their minds to want to
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, No, they don't want to do it. They don't
want any part of that. But the good point Stewart,
that's another thing, not only as the social worker in danger,
but now the cops got to protect one more person. So,
as Ray Kelly has pointed out, nobody knows more about
the NYPD than he does. Through the decades, they have
tried this out a number of times, having social workers
(17:36):
respond to domestic violence. They have tried it out every
possible way, and it absolutely doesn't work. In fact, it's
extremely dangerous for the social worker and none of them
want to do this stuff. Let's go to uh, Let's
go to lou and Union, New Jersey. Lou, how you
doing your Mark?
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Did you know that your guard who wants.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's the way?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh? Yeah, no, I knew the guy Fred Smith. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
He had a two couple of hearts from the Vietnam
War and he was working about fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
He had that much in his golf pants. He had
a lot of money. Now, he was a wonderful guy.
In fact, if you look at my Instagram, there's a
picture of us together from oh well, a couple months ago. Yeah.
Fred Smith a great guy. He started FedEx, he dreamed
up the whole thing, he built it. He had something
like eight hundred thousand employees. He was running the most
complex operation in the world. Let's go to at Vincent
(18:33):
and Brooklyn Vincent. What do you think.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I thought Kurtis did a very very good job last night.
I thought Bondami was an absolute fool when he was
talking about, oh, the poor prostitutes on Roosevelt Avenue. It
would be a double crime if we get to prostitute
people who were just holing to make a living. Well, hello, dude,
(18:59):
you're not talking about the fact that a lot of
these women are taken uber or lifts to get to
the point where they tricked and not only that you're
not talking about that, the fact that in this day
and age these people could be spreading venereal diseases. Stewart
from South Carolina is one hundred percent correct. And Curtis
(19:22):
pointed this out about the danger you're imposing upon a
social worker that has to go out with the empire RIPD.
I saw that in the fifties. Used they tried that
in the fifties. I remember there was a nut job
throwing stuff out the wind and a woman was out
of a bird, and on a Sunday, two cops and
(19:46):
two doctors came from Bellevue to put this woman in
a strait jacket. And thank god, it was only a
crazy woman who didn't have access to a gun or
something like that. Do it's right. They did away with
that a long time ago, and nobody oh Mandami were
(20:08):
citing as paradigms of district attorneys Alvin Bragg and Roberto
Gonzalez of Brooklyn, who were not prosecuting prostitution cases. Usually
these women who were involved in that are also involved
in other things. I better if you looked in their bag,
(20:28):
you're gonna find drugs. You might even find guns, knives,
or whatever. And what about the pimps who are controlling
these women? They're usually involved in other stuff. But this
is the answer we got from Mandami Oh, Eric Adamy,
Alvin Bragg, and Roberto Gonzales says it's a double crime
(20:51):
to prosecute these women. These women need job training, these
women need a knight in lock up. That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, sounds like they've had both. But Vincent, great call,
great point, thanks for calling. I saw Eric Adams last
night at the Al Smith dinner. He looked he always
looks happy, but he looked much happier now, much much
happier to be totally out of this mess and not
have to be going through all of this right now. Hey,
when we come back, we'll talk to a Coulter. I hope,
(21:20):
I hope she knows we switched to Friday, but we'll
talk to her in a moment on seven to ten
wor the Mark.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Simone Show on sevenor.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Hey and Culter, the great columnist, the best selling author.
Make sure you follow her on Twitter. Also even better
at substack, where she's got her columns, He's got her interviews, podcasts, videos,
all sorts of stuff and culter Dot substack dot com
and culter. How you doing?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I have fantastic John Bolton has been indicted. How about
them apples?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah? Boy, he was all over Trump yelling and screaming
way back when that tells classified documents, you got to
be convicted. You should go to jail. You should bet
he'd like to get back all that video, wouldn't he?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yes, I think he might also want to get back. Well,
Trump ought to want to get back. Even hiring Bolton,
I mean, that was preposterous. It was one of the
most ridiculous things of term one. And Bolton is a
total neocon, wants to go to war every place all
the time. It was insane. It was completely contrary to
Trump's two thousand well, but.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He always explained the recently hired him was because he
was a warmonger, and it was just a scare of
ran scaredbody to see Bolton in the room.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It didn't seem to really scare them, but it should
have scared Trump in any event. The indictment, it's very different,
very different coverage on CNN and MSNBC. I suppose because
this prosecution was started under Joe Biden, and prosecutors under
Joe Biden described it as very troubling, and oh my gosh,
(22:57):
she does sound troubling. Thousands of classified documents to family
members who do not have security clearances, and then his
email gets hacked by Iran. So well, this if true,
this sounds like quite a case.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, I'm confused though. I thought that Democrats didn't like neokons.
This is the first neo kon they love, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh, Basically, anyone who is against Trump they're going to like,
even if it is completely contrary to everything they've always
said and believed. I mean, you know, suddenly they love
human traffickers. That's a little kind of an odd position
for them. They will not give up on how much
(23:45):
they love transing children despite its overwhelming unpopularity, and in fact,
you know, thanks to probably in part Trump and the
American public, apparently these children trans operations and transitions have
plummeted in the last year. So that's good news. We
(24:06):
will someday look back on this period as something probably
you know, akin to Mengala, where the medical profession just
did something so hideously horrible, deforming and harming people, and
they did it for the money. I made a lot
of money on the transgender stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Hey, yeah, and cult it. This is the everywhere all
over America tomorrow No Kings protest. What exactly is a
No King's protest? I'm not sure what they're protesting.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
No, it doesn't make any sense. And it's a very
dumb name. I mean, I'd heard about it sort of
in the background. They did this once before. I mean
it sounds like, you know, six Kings Day. It doesn't
sound at all like usually Liberals are so good at
slogans and naming things. Boy, did they blow it here.
It makes no sense. It is not focused. No one
(24:59):
hears and thinks, oh, that must refer to Trump, which
I gather, like everything else they ever do, that they're
meaning to refer to Trump.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
No, it's the silliest thing in the world. What did
Mike Johnson call it the Hate America rally tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
See, that's at least descriptive.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
But is this the problem the Democrats have. They're so
busy resisting hating go after Trump, They've forgot to debate
issues and they're just not doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yes, And I will say one thing that I will
give Trump enormous credit for. We've talked about government shutdowns before.
I've lived through a lot of government shutdowns in Washington,
and just as a political observer, I've never seen a
government shutdown that doesn't within like five minutes start hurting Republicans,
(25:49):
or at least that's what the media claims. Who knows,
we've never tried to say, nope, we're not capitulating. This
is the first time I can remember Republicans not immediately capitulating.
And boy, doesn't seem to have hurt them.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
No. Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
In fact, you look at these rules, congressmen and women
still get paid, but the staff doesn't get paid. How
did that happen?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, that's that's not so good. They that's a that's
a bipartisan issue, is my guess. Except for a few
very principled individuals. I would assume like Thomas Massey and
a few others, you know, paying themselves is usually pretty bipartisan.
But I haven't checked, so maybe I shouldn't slan under
my side on that. But no, this is I mean,
(26:38):
I think a lot of us have been saying this
for a while that if you don't run scared from
from the media. Uh, and if your position is correct,
as it certainly is, here Democrats shutting down the government
so mostly so that illegals can get you know, the
subsidies and full health care. Well, that's that's fantastic. I
(26:59):
can't imagine they think that's going to be popular with Americans.
And this was, as John Fetterman, bless his heart, said yesterday,
this was in the original Democrat past bill, this sunset provision.
You're acting like Republicans have foisted this arm. No, it's
(27:19):
in the bill. So you're shutting down the government for
something you wrote into law and most Americans don't want.
So great.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, Hey, CBS News, they've brought in Barry Weiss to
straighten out CBS News, make it more balance, more fair.
You think that will actually work? Are we beginning a
new era of fair news?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
My gosh, I hope so. It seems it's always baffled
me since I wrote slander about how the media slanders
Republicans Willy nilly, I wondered why it would be so
so easy. You know, they have these these for the ratings.
It would be so easy for some network to say, Okay,
that's it, we're going to be fair and start stealing
(28:06):
voter or viewers. Have you been totally crush. Look at
Fox News, it's not even that good, but it gives
both sides. You can hear things you won't hear on
any other network. How about how about some other network
try that?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, how about some website try it?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
And political websites do. I mean, this is why I'm
a huge defender of social media and I'm opposed to
these ridiculous attacks on Oh, get your children off their phones. No, no,
social media is the one place we can go to
get the truth. We certainly can't get it from TV news.
We can't get it from the major mainstream media. They
have foisted hoax after hoax after hoax on us, starting
(28:46):
with with Dan Rather and his claim about President George
Bush shirking his his his military service. Well, how is
that exposed social media?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
This is I see why liberals to pretend, oh, this
is so bad for you, and in fact, the evidence
just by the way, I will be writing about this again,
but the evidence is quite to the contrary. These games
young men play, they are way better educational devices than
the public schools, way better.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well that's not hard, I mean that's pretty.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Point.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Hey, you know when you talk about the things that
are slanted. Okay, expected CBSABC, but something like Politico, you
wouldn't expect it to be so biased and so slanted.
What where do you go for a non partisan website?
Is there such a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, that's funny you say that, I was just noticing that. Well,
of course you can come to and cultor dot Suvisac
dot com, Real Clear Politics, brightbart uh Daily Caller, and
now we have the American version of the UK Spectator,
which is spectacular and appears in magazine form.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
See many magazines are very slick, attractive magazine they really smart,
great writers. And the Twitter Twitter, of course, Twitter, What
am I? How can I be forgetting about that?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Because you have the entire world searching for articles that
may be of interest to you. You find which people
to follow, who posts real articles that turn out to
be true, and who posts, you know, nonsense conspiracy theory.
So I mean, if you want to keep up with
the conspiracy theories, go ahead and follow them. But if
you don't, don't follow them. Twitter. I mean Twitter has
(30:29):
everything and has it immediately.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, it's still the best place for if you want
like instant reaction coverage whatever. Twitter is still the best place.
And what's that one? The liberals all use what's it
called blue Sky or something?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, I've heard of it, but mostly is a punchline.
I mean, this is such a sissy thing for liberals
to do. The original Twitter was so great back before
they had all these controls and shadow bands in because
because you could, it was brols and conservatives. Are you
talking to one another? You can tweak a New York
(31:04):
Times reporter? Why are they so afraid of debate even
online where they have time to think about what they're
saying and if they're they're you know, really triggered by
by jokes being told by by right wingers. Okay, don't
follow those right wingers. I've never understood why there should
be any censorship on Twitter. If you don't like what
(31:25):
someone's saying, if it's really that scary to you to
see another point of view, don't follow that person and
it won't show up in your feet.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Good point. Well, we're out of time, but everybody follow
and Culture on Twitter. Great stuff there, even better as substacks.
You's got columns and videos and podcasts and all sorts
of stuff. Go to and Culture dot substack dot com
and Culture dot substack dot com and culture. Thanks for
being with us.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
Good to doctor Mark Simone by bye, take care.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Hey, don't forget Buck and Clay coming up at noon today.
Speaker 6 (31:57):
Hey.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Also, if you can't listen to this show live, if
ten to noon doesn't work, you can listen to the
show anytime you want, day and night. Just get the
podcast wherever you get podcasts, and if you're listening to
the podcast on the weekends, you get a bonus segment.
It's like a whole other show there that isn't on
the air, so you can hear that too. But this
show the bonus segment wherever you get podcasts or otherwise
(32:19):
alive every day ten to noon, seven ten WR.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Mark Simoney's back on seventeen.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, John Bolton indicted. He has just surrendered himself a
little earlier this morning, not long ago. He has pled
not guilty. I don't know how he's going to get
away with that. Looks pretty guilty to me. They got
him on a lot of stuff. Here's President Trump.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You told me for the first time.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
But I think he's a bad person.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
I think he's a.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Bad guy.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, he's a bad guy, too bad.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
But that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's the way it goes, right, Yes, but again he
was just begging to be made an example of when Trump,
when they accused him of taking classified documents, Bolton was
yelling and screaming against the crime of the century, the
worst thing in the world. And by the way, this
case against Bolton was started by Joe Biden. It started
under the Biden justice system. And this is not lawfair.
(33:20):
Lawfair is when you get indicted in four different cities
at the same time, you're on trial in four places
all at once. We'll see what happens. Hey, we're out
of time. I'll be back on Monday. Remember, if you
listen to the podcast, there's a bonus segment tonight and
over the weekend, so you'll get an extra segment just
for you podcast listeners. Otherwise, I'll see a Monday right here,
(33:41):
ten to noon, seven w
The Mark Simon Show on seven to tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hey it's Friday. That's the good news. We got a
lot to get through this hour, the Mayor Ol Debate,
No Kings, Zelenski and Letitia James and John Bolton. And
if you can't listen to the show live, you know
you can listen to the podcast if for some reason
you can't listen ten to noon. Anyplace you get your podcast,
you'll find the podcast of this show. And by the way,
(00:28):
on the weekends there's a bonus segment that's not on
the air. You'll get a whole extra bit of a
show on the weekends if you're a podcast listener. So
the Mayor All Race, the debate was last night. It
was one hour on television and one hour after that
just streaming YouTube and all of that. It was a
(00:49):
little too long. Got the point after the first hour
and into the second hour. Imagine a lot of people
tuning out. It was just too long. Curtis won the debate.
I don't know if people notice that. That's the only problem.
It was Channel four running the debate, which is always
not good. They kept trying to bury Curtis, they kept
trying to hide him, they kept going to Cuomo and
(01:10):
Mam Donni more and more and more and more and less.
Curtis even pointing that out to the moderators at one
point he was great in the debate. The problem is,
does anybody notice that he won? Does it get seen
by enough people? There was no big knockout punch, That's
the problem. Moderators wouldn't even allow a space for that
(01:31):
to happen. Mam Donnie, if you were, I imagine he
lost some boats last night for one reason. He just
looked a little.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
The Mam Donnie of the primaries was much faster and
more on target. This Mam Donnie was being very careful,
hedging a lot of his stuff and watering down a
lot of his points and trying to stay neutral on
a lot of things. So it wasn't the same, Mom Donnie.
Cuomo was talking in that voice that he talks in,
(02:03):
that slow talk where he goes up and down and
he goes into that sing song when he talks. So
it wasn't effective. And he is we're talking about last year,
he got way too skinny. I don't know what it
is with the ozampic, but he lost all his bulk.
You know, you need to look a little a little
more manly to be to do Cuomo's act. He just
(02:24):
looks too scrawny. Now, Curtis was great, and he did
it without the beret on. Here's a bit of Curtis
last night, high level stuff. You know, he kept trying
to hit Curtis with the Trump stuff. He's the only
guy on the stage that has absolutely nothing to do
with Trump. Mom, Donnie uh Trump. That's a big war
(02:44):
and Cuomo and Trump. Trump has been backing Cuomo. Trump
has been on the phone trying to get help Cuomo,
trying to get Curtis. So Cuomo a deep Trump connection.
Curtis is the only one with nothing to do with Trump.
He's had no relation with Trump, no interest in Trump,
vice versa. They don't really have much. They have never
(03:05):
had anything to do with each other. They've never liked
that and each other. Now this could be a help
to Curtis that he has no Trump connection at all.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Well, there's high levels of testoster and in this room.
I've had a love hate relationship with Donald Trump that
goes back.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Over thirty years.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But I know one thing. We have Andrew Cuomo, we
have zon Mondami. They want to take on Donald Trump. Look,
you can be tough, but you can't be tough if
it's going to cost people desperately needed federal funds. Jorn Mondami,
the president has already said it's gonna take seven billion
dollars out of the budget right from the start if
(03:41):
you're elected mayor Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Now, a couple of times he called them Zorhan or something,
and I'm Donnie quickly said it's Zoran. Anytime you get
into that name correcting business, you're gonna you're not doing well.
I mean, Kamala, Kama, Kamala, whatever the hell her name is.
Remember she kept doing that name correcting thing. Oh if
you're mis name. If you're going to be doing that
on the campaign trail, you got a problem.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
More of Curtis President of the United States, should have
been applauded by you, Johanmandami and you Andrew Como on
the day that he brought together that international coalition that
met in Egypt that came from the Middle East and
the Persian Goal. I certainly applauded him for bringing peace
to Gaza and trying to end the hostilities in the
war between the Israelis and Hamas so they can be
(04:28):
peace between the Israelis and peace between the Palestinians. But
you seem z are on to be incapable appraising our
president and Aelwa you were incapable of. We have to
give credit where credit, sue, He's brought peace to gosh.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Now it's Channel four running the debate. They really stink
at running a debate, maybe deliberately. They have this thing
about thirty second answers, which is ridiculous. It's a debate.
It should be two minute answers, not thirty seconds. It's
not a game show. And hopefully President Trump watched the
debate life night. He's been backing Cuomo for the last
couple months. He's been a big Cuomo backer behind the scenes,
(05:05):
trying to get everybody out. So Cuomo can I hope
he watched it last night, so he realizes that Cuomo
talks funny in the debates and that he's not gonna
win when he talks like that. And I don't think
he really you know, I mean, the guy's a little busy,
he's president of the United States. I don't think he
was watching the primary debates. I think if he actually
(05:27):
watched Cuoma in a debate, he think twice about backing him.
Here's Cuomo last night.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
The Assemblyman will not announce from us. The Assemblyman will
not announce the san piker who said America deserved nine
to eleven. The Assemblyman just said in his response, well,
it depends on occupation. That is code, meaning that the
Israel does not have a right to exist as a
(05:53):
Jewish state, which he has never acknowledged.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Yeah, you know the funny thing in this race, Curtis
is the only New York City candidate. Mam Donnie just
got to this country a few years ago. He just
became a citizen recently. He's not a New Yorker. And
Cuomo was born in New York, but he's lived his
entire adult life in the suburbs, not in New York City.
It's very unusual, very very unusual. You've had mayors from
(06:20):
out of ten. David Dinkins grew up in New Jersey,
Michael Bloomberg was from Massachusetts, but they lived their entire
adult lives in New York. Cuomo would be the first
governor not from New York City. His entire adult life
has been out there in the suburbs. He was more
of Cuomo last night.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
He still won't denounce globalized the intafada, which means kill
old Jews. Just say I denounced it.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
He won't do it.
Speaker 5 (06:47):
That's the issue and his divisiveness ronic.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Yep, you're talking. Got to stop you. That's the stupid
channel for these moderators. He's talking, stop them, Stop them.
Police were a big issue of.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
He doesn't like the police. That's why he won't hire
more police when everyone else says we need more police.
He wants to use social workers on domestic violence calls,
which are very dangerous. And he's told you what he thinks.
He thinks the police are racist, wicked, corrupt, and a
threat to public safety.
Speaker 7 (07:20):
Thank you, those are his words.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
That's a channel four matters. Stop talking. You can't know talking.
It's a debate. No talking his mom Donnie on the police.
Speaker 7 (07:28):
I'm proud to have a comprehensive plan to bring new
ideas to this city. If you want more of the same,
vote for Andrew Cuomo. If you want an actual approach
to lower crime, look at our Department of Community Safety.
That is something that has been hailed by experts as
addressing so many of the pieces of why New Yorkers
are not feeling safe today. We will ensure that no
longer our police officers asked to do the job of
(07:50):
both policing and responding to the mental health crisis.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
All right, now, you got two guys who are not
good with cops. Mom Donnie obviously hates cops. Cuomo was
terrible with the cops, took away their qualified immunity, changed
the parole board to let all the criminals out. He's
almost left wing. Parole board let out forty three cop killers,
clmost the one of the close prisons, let the prisoners out.
(08:13):
He's the no bail, no jail. I mean, nobody did
more damage for policing than Cuomo. Curtis the best on
crime fighting.
Speaker 4 (08:20):
What you have proposed with this new police outrage unit.
Well in danger women and children, in domestic violent situations.
I know I've been involved in so many of them
with the Guardian Angels.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
They will be killed.
Speaker 4 (08:34):
They will be made number two. And dealing with emotionally
disturbed persons that I have dealt with for all my
years since the Guardian Angels. You need trained professional police officer.
Think yes, you can have mental health workers with Thank you,
mister stick. That has been suggested. It was by the
homeless out and the guy you thought was the best,
say build the Blasio disbands.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Isn't this Channel four? The Channel four moderators WNBCTV there
the absolute worst at a debate. As soon as you're
talking and making appoint mister Slee, we have to move on.
We have to get the climate change. Please stop talking.
You don't want anybody to talk anyway. Hey, let's get
the John Bolton. John Bolton has been indicted. He's facing
(09:16):
eight counts of this, ten counts of that. He's going
to have a real problem. It looks like they've got him.
I absolutely got him on the classified documents. I mean,
there it is. And the guy, you know, it's one
thing if you steal him in a box, or put
him like Joe Biden in a box, or you put
him under your arm and take them like Joe Biden.
But when you email them to yourself, there's a record.
(09:37):
There's a record of you doing it. There. It is
on the server. They can see you did it. So
he's got a real problem. This guy could get ten
years in prison. Knowing President Trump, he probably wouldn't send
him in a prison. It probably commute the sentence or something.
But he's going to get convicted. And as far as Bolton, now,
let this make one thing clear. This is not lawfair.
(09:58):
Media left wing, Oh, this is a lawfair. No lawfair
is when you't get indicted in four different cities at
the same time. That's lawfair when you get Can you
imagine look what Bolton's going through. It's going to drain
his finances. It's going to be a nightmare. Look what
Trump went through. They did it to him in four
cities at the same time. He's in four different cities
getting indicted in Atlanta and New York and DC and Florida.
(10:22):
It was absolutely ridiculous. Now, as far as Bolton getting
indicted and convicted for the classified documents, as Joe Peschi
said in Casino, this guy was just begging if he
made an example of when it was Trump who did
not really have anything serious. You know, it's going to
turn out Bolton had some serious classified documents. Trump. You
(10:42):
saw those hundreds and hundreds of boxes. No classified documents
were in those boxes. It turned out they did find
thirty five mildly nothing things. And the thirty five if
you put them in a folder, it's about one inch thick.
That's one inch of one box. Bolton had lots of
stuff and Bolton when it was Trump, Bolton went all
(11:04):
over the airwave saying, Trump with taking classified documents is
the most serious crime. You must be executed tonight. You
must kept going on and on about it's the worst
crime in the world. Let me see if I can
find Bolton saying.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
That this is a devastating indictment. I speak here as
an alumnus of the Justice Department myself, because not only
is it powerful, it's very narrowly tailored. They didn't throw
everything up against the wall to see what would stick.
This really is a rifle shot. And I think it
should be the end of Donald Trump's political career.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
Well yeah, no, he goes on and on. Bolton was
all over television saying taking classified documents the most serious
crime there is. So I'm sure this is real karma,
real karma. And again it's not lawfair. Lawfairs're getting dited
in four cities at the same time for crimes that
nobody can even figure out. Oh hey, Trump meets with
(11:59):
Zelensky today day, big White House meeting taking place today,
and then at five o'clock he leaves for mar a Lago.
This will be the first time he goes to mar
A Lago. It's I don't think I think it reopens
Halloween officially, but I guess he's going to get it
in shape. Halloween is a week away, right, I think
it's yeah, a week or two away, So it'll be
(12:22):
the first time he goes down there. Those women, those
Palm Beach women that all descend on mar A Lago,
the ones that chase Trump around the ballroom going, how
are you remember me? No, Howie you you know that crowd.
He's going to see them again. Millennia will be cringing
at them. So that's a later today. Hey, tomorrow's the
No Kings rally. These are this is going to be
(12:45):
all over the place. There'll be a major, huge, one
times square, but they'll be all over the city and
they'll be all over the suburbs. So wherever you are, Connecticut,
New Jersey, Long Island, they're going to be all over
the place, these No Kings Rallies, So steer clear of them.
Mike Johnson says they're actually the Hate America rallies. The
problem with the Democrats, they've become so filled with rage
(13:07):
and hate most of it at Donald Trump. But they're
so busy hating Trump, resisting Trump that they're no longer
talking about issues. They're no longer debating issues. There's no
issues involved with them anymore. It's just absolute raging hatred,
No kings, nobody knows what the hell that means or
what they're talking about. But that'll be all over the
place tomorrow, So watch out for those. Hey, Letitia James,
(13:33):
you know, the first property with her mortgage fraud case,
she's got her niece living there. The niece is a
fugitive who jumped probation and ran. She absconded. She's a
wanted felon. Now the other house she's got, she's got
her relative living there. It's a family member. This one
(13:54):
is another criminal Letitia James crime family. This is her
grand niece, Kayla Thompson Yerston, who's an only fan star.
If you take a look at her pictures, you'll say,
oh my god, she's an onlyfan star. She's a public
X rated social media presence. But she's also another fugitive
(14:16):
charged in April twenty twenty four with lying about her
felony criminal record when trying to buy a gun. This
is another member of Leticia James family. She was disqualified
from owning a firearm due to a twenty twenty felony
charge of malicious wounding in Virginia, which is to find
as a crime where a person shoots, stabs, cuts her
(14:37):
wounds any person intent to maim or disfigure, or disable
or kill. This is her other family. Maybe, what the
hell kind of family is this? This Leticia James unbelievable. Hey,
the Al Smith dinner last night. Now, it wasn't one
of the big presidential years. Last year's Al Smith dinner.
We had President Trump there and all that, but it's
(14:57):
for a great cause for the Catholic Chair. He's the
Al Smith Dinner at the brand new, reopened Waldorf Ballroom.
After eight years, they finally reopened the Waldorf. It looks
a lot, well, a lot the same, but a lot different.
They've reconfigured things. I think the ballroom looked better before.
It's all kind of silver. Now take over my Instagram
you can see some pictures. Big crowd last night, Robert
(15:21):
Kraft getting a big award, bon Jovi presenting it. But
I've got you can see the pictures on my Instagram.
Go to Mark Simone NYC at Instagram. Mark Simone NYC
at Instagram. Hey, Barry Weiss, the new head of CBS News,
who's going to clean it up and make it fair
and balanced. She was there last night. Everybody given her
a big round of applause. But hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
(15:43):
Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
Get instant access to Mark by setting a freeset in
the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
Now back to the mars Amon Show on w o R. Hey,
(16:04):
let's take some calls. Let's go to uh Roger a
story of Queen's Roger, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (16:11):
Good? How about you?
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Let me check?
Speaker 6 (16:14):
Not bad?
Speaker 2 (16:14):
Not bad? What'd you want to say? Roger?
Speaker 6 (16:16):
That's good? Yeah, a little bit of good news by
one poll.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
Uh at last Stephonic, it looks like she's a point. Yeah,
we don't a poll. A poll wouldn't mean anything. It's
over a year away. Pole wouldn't me anything right now,
but it's that's next year, a year from now. We
hope she wins. But let's go to let's go to
Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart how you.
Speaker 7 (16:43):
Doing, hey, Mark.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
You know, anytime you hear any politician talking about sending
social workers with police off, you have to know they
have no clue what in the world they're talking about.
Any master's call can go back in seconds, I mean
turned deadly in seconds. That helster has to worry about
protecting the social worker and protecting himself in the absolute nightmare.
(17:10):
They have no clue what they're doing it any social
worker would have. Is that their minds to want to
do that.
Speaker 2 (17:15):
No, No, they don't want to do it. They don't
want any part of that. But the good point Stewart,
that's another thing, not only as the social worker in danger,
but now the cops got to protect one more person. So,
as Ray Kelly has pointed out, nobody knows more about
the NYPD than he does. Through the decades, they have
tried this out a number of times, having social workers
(17:36):
respond to domestic violence. They have tried it out every
possible way, and it absolutely doesn't work. In fact, it's
extremely dangerous for the social worker and none of them
want to do this stuff. Let's go to uh, Let's
go to lou and Union, New Jersey. Lou, how you
doing your Mark?
Speaker 6 (17:55):
Did you know that your guard who wants.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
That's the way?
Speaker 2 (17:58):
Oh? Yeah, no, I knew the guy Fred Smith. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
He had a two couple of hearts from the Vietnam
War and he was working about fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
He had that much in his golf pants. He had
a lot of money. Now, he was a wonderful guy.
In fact, if you look at my Instagram, there's a
picture of us together from oh well, a couple months ago. Yeah.
Fred Smith a great guy. He started FedEx, he dreamed
up the whole thing, he built it. He had something
like eight hundred thousand employees. He was running the most
complex operation in the world. Let's go to at Vincent
(18:33):
and Brooklyn Vincent. What do you think.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
I thought Kurtis did a very very good job last night.
I thought Bondami was an absolute fool when he was
talking about, oh, the poor prostitutes on Roosevelt Avenue. It
would be a double crime if we get to prostitute
people who were just holing to make a living. Well, hello, dude,
(18:59):
you're not talking about the fact that a lot of
these women are taken uber or lifts to get to
the point where they tricked and not only that you're
not talking about that, the fact that in this day
and age these people could be spreading venereal diseases. Stewart
from South Carolina is one hundred percent correct. And Curtis
(19:22):
pointed this out about the danger you're imposing upon a
social worker that has to go out with the empire RIPD.
I saw that in the fifties. Used they tried that
in the fifties. I remember there was a nut job
throwing stuff out the wind and a woman was out
of a bird, and on a Sunday, two cops and
(19:46):
two doctors came from Bellevue to put this woman in
a strait jacket. And thank god, it was only a
crazy woman who didn't have access to a gun or
something like that. Do it's right. They did away with
that a long time ago, and nobody oh Mandami were
(20:08):
citing as paradigms of district attorneys Alvin Bragg and Roberto
Gonzalez of Brooklyn, who were not prosecuting prostitution cases. Usually
these women who were involved in that are also involved
in other things. I better if you looked in their bag,
(20:28):
you're gonna find drugs. You might even find guns, knives,
or whatever. And what about the pimps who are controlling
these women? They're usually involved in other stuff. But this
is the answer we got from Mandami Oh, Eric Adamy,
Alvin Bragg, and Roberto Gonzales says it's a double crime
(20:51):
to prosecute these women. These women need job training, these
women need a knight in lock up. That's what they do.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Well, sounds like they've had both. But Vincent, great call,
great point, thanks for calling. I saw Eric Adams last
night at the Al Smith dinner. He looked he always
looks happy, but he looked much happier now, much much
happier to be totally out of this mess and not
have to be going through all of this right now. Hey,
when we come back, we'll talk to a Coulter. I hope,
(21:20):
I hope she knows we switched to Friday, but we'll
talk to her in a moment on seven to ten
wor the Mark.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Simone Show on sevenor.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Hey and Culter, the great columnist, the best selling author.
Make sure you follow her on Twitter. Also even better
at substack, where she's got her columns, He's got her interviews, podcasts, videos,
all sorts of stuff and culter Dot substack dot com
and culter. How you doing?
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I have fantastic John Bolton has been indicted. How about
them apples?
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah? Boy, he was all over Trump yelling and screaming
way back when that tells classified documents, you got to
be convicted. You should go to jail. You should bet
he'd like to get back all that video, wouldn't he?
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yes, I think he might also want to get back. Well,
Trump ought to want to get back. Even hiring Bolton,
I mean, that was preposterous. It was one of the
most ridiculous things of term one. And Bolton is a
total neocon, wants to go to war every place all
the time. It was insane. It was completely contrary to
Trump's two thousand well, but.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
He always explained the recently hired him was because he
was a warmonger, and it was just a scare of
ran scaredbody to see Bolton in the room.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It didn't seem to really scare them, but it should
have scared Trump in any event. The indictment, it's very different,
very different coverage on CNN and MSNBC. I suppose because
this prosecution was started under Joe Biden, and prosecutors under
Joe Biden described it as very troubling, and oh my gosh,
(22:57):
she does sound troubling. Thousands of classified documents to family
members who do not have security clearances, and then his
email gets hacked by Iran. So well, this if true,
this sounds like quite a case.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Yeah, I'm confused though. I thought that Democrats didn't like neokons.
This is the first neo kon they love, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Uh, Basically, anyone who is against Trump they're going to like,
even if it is completely contrary to everything they've always
said and believed. I mean, you know, suddenly they love
human traffickers. That's a little kind of an odd position
for them. They will not give up on how much
(23:45):
they love transing children despite its overwhelming unpopularity, and in fact,
you know, thanks to probably in part Trump and the
American public, apparently these children trans operations and transitions have
plummeted in the last year. So that's good news. We
(24:06):
will someday look back on this period as something probably
you know, akin to Mengala, where the medical profession just
did something so hideously horrible, deforming and harming people, and
they did it for the money. I made a lot
of money on the transgender stuff.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Hey, yeah, and cult it. This is the everywhere all
over America tomorrow No Kings protest. What exactly is a
No King's protest? I'm not sure what they're protesting.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
No, it doesn't make any sense. And it's a very
dumb name. I mean, I'd heard about it sort of
in the background. They did this once before. I mean
it sounds like, you know, six Kings Day. It doesn't
sound at all like usually Liberals are so good at
slogans and naming things. Boy, did they blow it here.
It makes no sense. It is not focused. No one
(24:59):
hears and thinks, oh, that must refer to Trump, which
I gather, like everything else they ever do, that they're
meaning to refer to Trump.
Speaker 6 (25:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
No, it's the silliest thing in the world. What did
Mike Johnson call it the Hate America rally tomorrow?
Speaker 6 (25:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:16):
See, that's at least descriptive.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
But is this the problem the Democrats have. They're so
busy resisting hating go after Trump, They've forgot to debate
issues and they're just not doing that anymore.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yes, And I will say one thing that I will
give Trump enormous credit for. We've talked about government shutdowns before.
I've lived through a lot of government shutdowns in Washington,
and just as a political observer, I've never seen a
government shutdown that doesn't within like five minutes start hurting Republicans,
(25:49):
or at least that's what the media claims. Who knows,
we've never tried to say, nope, we're not capitulating. This
is the first time I can remember Republicans not immediately capitulating.
And boy, doesn't seem to have hurt them.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
No. Uh.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
In fact, you look at these rules, congressmen and women
still get paid, but the staff doesn't get paid. How
did that happen?
Speaker 1 (26:15):
Yeah, that's that's not so good. They that's a that's
a bipartisan issue, is my guess. Except for a few
very principled individuals. I would assume like Thomas Massey and
a few others, you know, paying themselves is usually pretty bipartisan.
But I haven't checked, so maybe I shouldn't slan under
my side on that. But no, this is I mean,
(26:38):
I think a lot of us have been saying this
for a while that if you don't run scared from
from the media. Uh, and if your position is correct,
as it certainly is, here Democrats shutting down the government
so mostly so that illegals can get you know, the
subsidies and full health care. Well, that's that's fantastic. I
(26:59):
can't imagine they think that's going to be popular with Americans.
And this was, as John Fetterman, bless his heart, said yesterday,
this was in the original Democrat past bill, this sunset provision.
You're acting like Republicans have foisted this arm. No, it's
(27:19):
in the bill. So you're shutting down the government for
something you wrote into law and most Americans don't want.
So great.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Yeah, Hey, CBS News, they've brought in Barry Weiss to
straighten out CBS News, make it more balance, more fair.
You think that will actually work? Are we beginning a
new era of fair news?
Speaker 6 (27:43):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
My gosh, I hope so. It seems it's always baffled
me since I wrote slander about how the media slanders
Republicans Willy nilly, I wondered why it would be so
so easy. You know, they have these these for the ratings.
It would be so easy for some network to say, Okay,
that's it, we're going to be fair and start stealing
(28:06):
voter or viewers. Have you been totally crush. Look at
Fox News, it's not even that good, but it gives
both sides. You can hear things you won't hear on
any other network. How about how about some other network
try that?
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, how about some website try it?
Speaker 1 (28:22):
And political websites do. I mean, this is why I'm
a huge defender of social media and I'm opposed to
these ridiculous attacks on Oh, get your children off their phones. No, no,
social media is the one place we can go to
get the truth. We certainly can't get it from TV news.
We can't get it from the major mainstream media. They
have foisted hoax after hoax after hoax on us, starting
(28:46):
with with Dan Rather and his claim about President George
Bush shirking his his his military service. Well, how is
that exposed social media?
Speaker 2 (28:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (28:58):
This is I see why liberals to pretend, oh, this
is so bad for you, and in fact, the evidence
just by the way, I will be writing about this again,
but the evidence is quite to the contrary. These games
young men play, they are way better educational devices than
the public schools, way better.
Speaker 2 (29:13):
Well that's not hard, I mean that's pretty.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Point.
Speaker 5 (29:20):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
Hey, you know when you talk about the things that
are slanted. Okay, expected CBSABC, but something like Politico, you
wouldn't expect it to be so biased and so slanted.
What where do you go for a non partisan website?
Is there such a thing.
Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah, that's funny you say that, I was just noticing that. Well,
of course you can come to and cultor dot Suvisac
dot com, Real Clear Politics, brightbart uh Daily Caller, and
now we have the American version of the UK Spectator,
which is spectacular and appears in magazine form.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
You know.
Speaker 1 (29:57):
See many magazines are very slick, attractive magazine they really smart,
great writers. And the Twitter Twitter, of course, Twitter, What
am I? How can I be forgetting about that?
Speaker 5 (30:08):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Because you have the entire world searching for articles that
may be of interest to you. You find which people
to follow, who posts real articles that turn out to
be true, and who posts, you know, nonsense conspiracy theory.
So I mean, if you want to keep up with
the conspiracy theories, go ahead and follow them. But if
you don't, don't follow them. Twitter. I mean Twitter has
(30:29):
everything and has it immediately.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yeah, it's still the best place for if you want
like instant reaction coverage whatever. Twitter is still the best place.
And what's that one? The liberals all use what's it
called blue Sky or something?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
Yeah, I've heard of it, but mostly is a punchline.
I mean, this is such a sissy thing for liberals
to do. The original Twitter was so great back before
they had all these controls and shadow bands in because
because you could, it was brols and conservatives. Are you
talking to one another? You can tweak a New York
(31:04):
Times reporter? Why are they so afraid of debate even
online where they have time to think about what they're
saying and if they're they're you know, really triggered by
by jokes being told by by right wingers. Okay, don't
follow those right wingers. I've never understood why there should
be any censorship on Twitter. If you don't like what
(31:25):
someone's saying, if it's really that scary to you to
see another point of view, don't follow that person and
it won't show up in your feet.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Good point. Well, we're out of time, but everybody follow
and Culture on Twitter. Great stuff there, even better as substacks.
You's got columns and videos and podcasts and all sorts
of stuff. Go to and Culture dot substack dot com
and Culture dot substack dot com and culture. Thanks for

the podcast on the weekends, you get a bonus segment.
It's like a whole other show there that isn't on
the air, so you can hear that too. But this
show the bonus segment wherever you get podcasts or otherwise
(32:19):
alive every day ten to noon, seven ten WR.
Speaker 5 (32:23):
Mark Simoney's back on seventeen.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Well, John Bolton indicted. He has just surrendered himself a
little earlier this morning, not long ago. He has pled
not guilty. I don't know how he's going to get
away with that. Looks pretty guilty to me. They got
him on a lot of stuff. Here's President Trump.
Speaker 6 (32:45):
I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (32:46):
You told me for the first time.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
But I think he's a bad person.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
I think he's a.
Speaker 6 (32:53):
Bad guy.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah, he's a bad guy, too bad.
Speaker 7 (32:55):
But that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
That's the way it goes, right, Yes, but again he
was just begging to be made an example of when Trump,
when they accused him of taking classified documents, Bolton was
yelling and screaming against the crime of the century, the
worst thing in the world. And by the way, this
case against Bolton was started by Joe Biden. It started
under the Biden justice system. And this is not lawfair.
(33:20):
Lawfair is when you get indicted in four different cities
at the same time, you're on trial in four places
all at once. We'll see what happens. Hey, we're out
of time. I'll be back on Monday. Remember, if you
listen to the podcast, there's a bonus segment tonight and
over the weekend, so you'll get an extra segment just
for you podcast listeners. Otherwise, I'll see a Monday right here,
