Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mark Simon Show delivering the news before it is
on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, it's today Thursday, It's one week until Christmas. Christmas
is a week from today. Unbelievable. It's almost time for
New Year's resolutions. It's almost time for look back of
best of twenty twenty five? Can you believe it? The
year just flown by. So Nick Reiner was in court
(00:29):
with no tell that was he had on. It's they
call it a suicide vest. It's a weird blue thing
covering up. He had shackles on and obviously a very
very dangerous, troubled guy. He's being held in isolation. He's
on suicide watch. They brought him into court basically only
(00:50):
said one thing. He only spoke once when the judge
said they agreed to delay until January, agent and all
that stuff, and then she said are you okay with
giving up your right to swift try? And he said, yes,
you're on it. It's the only thing he said in
court that day. This attorney has Jackson is one of
(01:12):
the top top top Los Angeles criminal attorneys. Handled a
lot of big, big cases. It said, if you want
to hire this guy on a murder charge and get
defended by him. It's about a million bucks, so I
would assume the family is paying for it. Here's the attorney.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Afterwards, You're set for January seventh, foreign arraignment. That's the
next court date. And that's all I have to say
at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, so the kid will be locked up until then, dangerous,
dangerous kid.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We asked that during this process you allow the system
to move forward in the way that it was designed
to move forward, not with a rush to judgment, not
with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity
and with the respect that this system and this process
and that the family deserves.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Very well said, but I got to be honest, I'm
going to rush the judgment on this one. I am
going to definitely jump the conclusions with this deranged psycho kid.
I will rush the judgment on this one. But that's
what you do for a million dollars. You sound good
and you make these speeches, but I really don't know
how they I mean, you know what, I would assume
(02:24):
in the end, they're going to have DNA evidence that
will absolutely convict this kid through a hard DNA evidence.
Although it is Los Angeles where they have screwed up
more cases. You remember the OJ case was lost because
they didn't properly secure the evidence. Remember they had the
blood all over them. Do you remember OJ. He had
blood on his golf hand glove, He had blood on
(02:46):
his socks, He had blood in his bedroom, he had
blood in his washing machine. The blood was every place,
but they collected it and then they didn't remember. They
didn't secure the evidence properly. Remember that detective was his name,
Van at Er. How's that for a memory? Had to
admit under oath that he put the test tube with
the blood, he had it in his sport coat pocket
for a week before he vouchered or something like that.
(03:08):
They just screwed it up. So anything can happen in
Los Angeles. Now, in the Brown University shooting, it turns
out this Brown University has got one really bumbling, stupid president.
Her name is I forget what her name is. But
in fact there's talking now of hauling her in front
of Congress and making you testify about how badly run
(03:29):
Brown University was. You know, kept pointing out the security director.
I don't like his resume. He's got twenty thirty years
of school safety but you know, somewhere else, he was
a director of security at a school. Somewhere else, he
was a patrolman, but on a school a security force.
You know, you'd like to get a guy from real
law enforcement, a real ex I would hire an next
(03:52):
NYPD captain or something like that, or somebody with some
real law enforcement experience, because if you look at Brown University,
they have no clue to what happened here. They can't
give you a video of the guy. All they got
that one video you see is somebody's ring doorbell thing
from three blocks away. What the hell kind of campus
does not have surveillance cameras everywhere? The restaurants have them everywhere.
(04:17):
We have, look at it. We got them all over
the hallway. Look around here, go down the hall, turn
the corner. That's like you got to pass twelve security cameras.
How does the university with a bunch of crazy kids,
how do they not have surveillance cameras? They just don't.
This Brown president and Brown University, her name, I forget
(04:37):
her name, and then she's blaming the gun violence, gun violence,
gun we have. The gun didn't cause the problem. The
shooter did. And you don't have surveillance cameras, so we
can't get a picture of the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The shooter is responsible. Horrific gun violence took the lives
of these students and hospitalized others. And it's deeply sad
and tragic that schools across the country or targets of violence.
Brown is no exception.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
She's gonna get hauled in front of Congress, and I've
testified her oath. She's get three million a year, three
million a year and doesn't have a proper head of security,
does not have surveillance cameras, all the necessary equipment. Her background, well,
she's an economist. Well there you go. An economist, not
the good kind, not the Steve More kind. This is
(05:25):
like the academic economists. You know, they're just sitting in
a university somewhere and never make contact with the real world. Oh,
actually she did. Look she was at Princeton, an economist
at Princeton. Okay, New York Times is this New York
Times is the most incoonfident, bumbling partisan disturbing details from
(05:48):
the New York Times stunning Trump investigation, Trump Epstein investigation.
This is the New York Times published its most comprehensive
investigation Yet in to President Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,
now there's not much of a relationship. They knew each
other for a couple of years when he was a
first a zillionaire and he came to Palm Beach and
(06:09):
was throwing money around. He joined mar A Lago. And
whenever you run a resort, a hotel, a club, if
a new guy in town's got zillions of dollars and
he's spending like crazy at Coortia, and he becomes a
memory of a club of coursing over, you say hello,
You go to his parties and invite him to stuff.
Perfectly normal happens all the time. Times they had to
admit in the little fine print, all the Times found
(06:31):
no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's secks trafficking crimes. But
but they did so with their investigation reveals a social
and personal relationship far beyond what has been acknowledged. Now,
what are they based that, Well, they based this on
they were going through Epstein's stuff and he had a
(06:51):
copy of Trump's book, The Art of the Comeback, very
good book, by the way, one of his best. It's
out of print, but it's a great book. But in
the book, which was nineteen ninety seven. That's how long
ago Trump knew Epstein. He broke up with him right away.
He found that guy was creepy and got rid of him.
But in nineteen ninety seven he gave Trump a book
(07:13):
and he inscribed the book. He autographed it to him.
And this is the what their New York Times is
basing this on, that he was much closer than we think,
because he wrote in the book. Guess what he wrote
to Jeff, you are the greatest. Donald, ha ha. They
got him you are the great Well, I hate to
(07:35):
break it to you. I got a copy of the
Art of the Comeback from nineteen ninety seven, and guess
what he wrote in my book, the same thing, you
are the greatest. I hate to break it to your
New York Times. I could show you twenty letters I
have from him through the years where that's what he
writes at the end. I got a million notes from
him that he always writes you are great or you
are the greatest. It's just standard for him. It doesn't
(07:57):
mean anything. It shows you absolutely nothing about their relationship.
I mean, I could go back to the nineties, where
you know, i'd m see a dinner forum or and
he'd send you a note you were a great MC,
thank you so much, and then underneath it would be type,
but underneath you would write with the big sharpie you
are the greatest Donald. It's just standard. He does that
(08:20):
for everybody. So of course the New York Times never
really investigates, or they would have checked that out and
gotten to the bottom of that and realized they had
nothing there. You remember the kiss cam at the Patriots Stadium,
the kisscam scandal. It was coldplay the concert and the
(08:41):
big CEO is out with an employee. They've gone to
a concert and that kiss cam. You know how many
people are in that stadium, fifty thousand, It just zooms
around and picks out somebody. What are the odds that
it would land on these two who are having an affair, cheating,
not supposed to be out there and are holding each
(09:04):
other arm in arm and she had to resign. I
guess he had to resign. Well, she's finally speaking out
for the first time ever. She's finally speaking out, and
she spoke out and gave an interview. I'm reading the interview.
I don't really know what how she's saying. It's kind
of vague, she said. The sixteen second public display of
affection with her then boss left her. She says it
(09:28):
left me as a meme and unemployable. She had not
been able to get another job. She says, you know,
what does this mean? I made a bad decision. I
had a couple of high noons and danced and acted
inappropriately with my boss while admitting he was her big
happy crush. What does that mean? I made a bad
(09:50):
decision and had a couple of high noons. Does that
mean she was like Gary Cooper getting in a gunfight?
Or what does it mean? Does it mean high noons?
Does that mean in the middle of the day I
went to like a motel or something.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I guess that's what it's supposed to mean. And it's
not nothing. I took accountability. I gave up my career
for that. That's the price I chose to pay. I
don't think she chose that. I think that's how it
ended up. But coming forward, I don't know why. I
guess is she going to have a book deal? Does
she want to get on the view? She says, I'm
not a celebrity. I'm just a mom from New Hampshire.
(10:26):
Even if I did have an affair, it's not anybody's business.
It has been like a scarlet letter. People erased anything
and everything I've accomplished in my life and achieved in
my career. This can't be the final word. Okay, I
guess what it is. She hasn't been able to get
a job, So this is she's gonna And she's not wrong.
(10:46):
You know, everything else fails, go public, get a lot
of attentions. You can get a job out of it,
she said. Instead, I became a meme and unemployable. I
was the most recognized. Oh no, I was the most
maligned HR manager in HR history. Well yeah, actually, if
you're the HR manager, aren't you supposed to be watching
(11:07):
for this kind of thing and stopping it, not doing
it yourself? Yeah? Hey, mom, Donnie. Two weeks from today,
is that New Year's Day? Yeah? Two weeks from today
takes office, the last two weeks of Eric Adams. Two
weeks from today, Mam Donnie is sworn in. Now. The
(11:29):
biggest thing everybody's worried about, obviously, is crime number two
would be these homeless camps all over the place. Uh,
here's some good news, some good news. The US Attorney
Southern District, that's the most powerful US attorney's office. The
current US attorney's a guy named Jay Clayton. He's great,
really great Jay Clayton. He has quite a career. You know,
(11:52):
he was the SEC chairman in Trump's first term. Donald
Trump likes him a lot, talks to him constantly. And
j Clayton as the US attorney. You know, in the
Southern District, they're usually going after some big fraud case,
or they're going after some big corporation, some big drug
trafficky whatever, big big stuff. But Clayton has said he
(12:15):
and his office and this is good news with Mom
Downey company, he said, he in his office will focus
on street crime. And they can do this. They can
do this. They can do a great job. And these
federal guys are even better. Sometimes they'll go after drugs,
they'll go after guns, they'll go after violence, they'll go
after all kinds of crime. Reason I say they're better.
(12:37):
NYPD is great. But problem with the NYPD. They'll do
a great job, but then it goes into a New
York City court, a New York City judge, a New
York City jury, and you know he goes to Alvin
Bragg local DA, and all these people do is let
the criminals back out in the street. Now, in the
case of Clayton, it's federal. It goes to a federal prosecutor,
(12:59):
and they don't let everybody go. They'll actually lock them up.
And as Clayton said, the one thing we do know
is if you keep letting the criminals back out, you're
going to have a crime wave. If you'll lock them
up and keep them locked up, crime drops dramatically. He says,
we know from studies repeat violent offenders, continuous custody is
(13:19):
the thing that reduces crime the most. Rudy Giuliani did
a little of this when he was mayor. They used
to have one day a week would be Federal Day
where the cops would go out there and have federal
officers with them, so the cops would break the case,
find the criminal, and then hand them over to the
Feds because they could make sure he got locked up,
unlike locals here with the das that we have the
(13:41):
crazy ones. So that's very very good news. And apparently
Trump is on board with this. So if it does
start to have if there is starting to be a
crime problem, you'll see the Feds step in on the
streets in New York and start arresting criminals and making
sure they don't get out. Very good news. And Bongino
is going to leave his FBI deputy director. It's been confirmed.
(14:07):
The replacements are a couple of guys. They're just you know,
career FBI guys. So, but Bongino has already cleaned out
his desk. He will officially stay until January and then
he'll leave. President Trump said Dan did a great job.
I think he wants to go back to his show. Yeah,
I don't blame him. You know, the problem is being
the deputy director. Basically you're just running day to day operations,
(14:31):
which if you're in that business, it's a great job.
But if you're you know, I gotta be honest with you,
it's much more fun doing this, you know, going on
TV and being on the radio and doing broadcasting. It's
a lot more fun than sitting in an office all
day doing FBI business. And for a lot of these
guys that leave, I don't know how they do it,
(14:52):
you know, I mean it's fun, you know, it's great.
All you do is have fun all day in broadcasting.
So Bongino wants to get back to that. Hey, you
know this assisted suicide thing where you can decide you
want to die and get the medical aid and dying.
You know, it's like doctor suicide. You can do this.
In Canada did it? They legalized it in twenty sixteen.
(15:14):
In fact, within five years, doctor assisted suicide became one
of the top five causes of death in Canada. So
they're pushing this in New York and Kathy Hochel surprised
everybody by getting on board with this. You want to
commit suicide, you want to die, you can go to
the doctor and have him suicide you Kavorki in you Now,
(15:35):
why would Hochel suddenly get it? Why would she want
to be Well, the insurance companies are pushing this like crazy.
In fact, they've been spending a lot of money, spending
a ton of money donating to politicians. They want this
because it'll save them a fortune. Now, who would want
to go commit suicide while somebody who's got a terrible
(15:58):
illness that's going to choir you know, catastrophic medical care. Well,
if you don't want to go through that, you'd rather
just commit suicide. It's you know, for you you think
it's better for the insurance company. It's a hell of
a lot better. You know that your insurance medical bills
could be ten million bucks by the time you're done
(16:18):
twenty years later. So the insurance company would love to
have you just go away. So they've been bribing and
donating and paying off politicians like crazy. And guess who's
suddenly on board Kathy Hokel. Well you do the math.
That's why she suddenly is on board with this. Hey,
we'll take Jimmy Faala will be with us in a
few minutes. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three
(16:39):
two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Give WR O, Bri said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear marximone and all the WR hosts in an instead.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Now back to the Marximo Show on wor.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
HEYXT and calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Want to wish you a very pleasant vacation, not.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
A great vacation, just a pleasant one.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
A great with you.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You have a pleasant.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You know, the President looked pod last night and I
think he feels like he's in person alone. You know,
even even supporters you know, and who are analysts and pundits,
you know, they can't comet out and support him. They
always have to dump on him before they say anything
positive about him. And I think he's frustrated by that.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, no, he's okay. The reason he was a little mad,
like he did not want to do that last night,
that was the staff pushing that. Susie wils pushed it,
and right before he went it in front of the camera,
he said, she's making me do this. The last thing
he believes in is a formal speech, reading a teleprompter
at a podium, all alone in a room.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
That's like, I agree, but she's in by all these
pundits to say. He has nice to talk to people.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Very good chief of staff. But she's too old school,
old fashioned. This is the kind of thing a president
went to in nineteen eighty six. It made sense.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
It's not the age of Reagan anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You're right, yeah, it's too old fashioned. You know, thanks
for calling Mike. The fact that she's so old school
old fashioned. It's a very good thing when it comes
to running the office and discipline and but when it
comes to media communication, I think he realized last night
don't listen to her on that stuff. Let's go to
Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Good morning, Mark, Good morning man, Mark. I'd like to
wish you a merry Christmas and a happy twenty twenty sixth,
and to thank the Woor family and staff for another
great year of radio and especially your technical crew is great.
The fade ins and fade outs a flawless unlike the
(18:55):
radio station up to Dow.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You know, most people glad you said that, most people
don't pay attention to the fadens the man.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Yeah, your staff is really on the other station up
the dial. I'm not gonna measure it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But you can't. You know. See, we like we like
to use a lot of contemporary music. Every other station
right here, it's all songs from nineteen eighty three. It's
all old stuff.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
But not only that, Mark, they're faded in and outs,
and a lot of times they get cross talk, they
get two programs playing at once. I mean, you're going,
what am I in the twilight zone? Mark? That being said,
I know you're going to be attending a lot of
parties which you already have been attending, and I know
you're gonna probably speak to President Trump, will maybe even
(19:41):
go party which where President Trump friends in Italy that
sent me a package.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
First, what do you mean they sent me a package,
a package.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
For Midaly and they told me they couldn't even put
all the stuff in there that they wanted because of.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
The kind of package.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
So anyway, Mark, I can't get so anyway, I'm told
that it's being held up for customs. Mark boy put
in a good word for me. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know, if I were customs, if something came from
your friends in Italy to you, I I want to
check that package too, you know, Come on, Mark, No, no,
well we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Well, hey, man, have a great vacation and you know,
you know, as Donald Trump would ride at the bottom. No,
you are the best, and thanks for a great great.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You're one of the stars of the show. People come
up to me all the time though you're one of
the first things they mentioned.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Well, it's all it's all because of you and the
wo R family and uh and your staff. I wanted
once again, your crew did the best, Man, Mark.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Vincent, thanks for calling Hey, when we come back. Jimmy Fayler,

This is it last week of normalcy before Mom Donnie
takes over.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Two weeks from today he actually has an inauguration day.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The exact day. So, as I was explaining this to
people from out of town, I'm like, you know, you
still get sidewalk stands till about the thirty first, but
then they go home and you get Mom Donnie asking
for money instead.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
It's just it's just we just changed seasons.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Just like that.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh god, hey, I feel all fat and bloated, and
these I can't go to like four hundred Christmas parties
in two weeks. Do you have the same problem?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Oh, buddy, it is so bad because the food right now, Like,
I'm not even halfway into what I'm what I'm committed
to eat between now and Christmas, and I already have
the wardrobe department chasing me with an ozembic needle.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So I'm going a tough spot here, Simon. Like calling
sick to a Christmas party, I've never done that before.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
No thousands of my one buffet. You know I didn't.
I forgot you could actually eat sitting down. I didn't
even know you could do that anymore. So, hey, what
do you think of this? The Oscar? It's been on
television for a million years, ABC for decades. It's going
to YouTube. What does that signify?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Well, we always knew the show was too long, and
know how they would say it was too long, and
they're worried.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
About advertising and stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I don't know that anybody even cares like they have
fallen so far in prestige, Like you think about that? Okay,
Like the oscars used to be like the classiest, biggest
spectacle in the history of the of the country every
year like that was the night, like the one night.
Now they're gonna be co headlining YouTube with a dog
riding a skateboard, you know, some guy teaching a blow
(23:22):
up doll how to salsedan. Like it doesn't seem like
a fall in.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Class, a little bit a fall from grace maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well yeah, but you're right. They used to have to.
You know, they were yelling to wrap it up by
eleven o'clock for the news YouTube. They can take five
hours if they want so, it'll it'll, yep, totally get
out of control. So New Year's Eves that's the worst
night of the year, isn't it. It's a really annoying night.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Oh buddy.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
If you are driving a cab, which is how I
started out.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
In New Year's Eve, everyone should do it once.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
It's like going to watch the ball drop in Husker.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
You should do it once, you know, if you could,
you could do it once.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Nobody I know does it twice.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
I don't know a cab driver who has.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Driven multiple New Year's eaves.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
They've driven one, okay, and they've seen everything you'd expect.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
To see.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Okay, it's like a well dressed Saint Patrick's Day parade,
you know, Saint Patrick State Parade. All of my drunk
relatives come into the city marching the parade. Then they're
hammered and screaming and breaking up and crying. And that's
pretty much New Year's Eve. Yeah, except you're trapped in
a small vehicle with him instead of a bar with
a jukebox.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
It's intense in.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
New York c when you make more money, when you
make a fortune on New Years Eve as a cab driver, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
But you wind up giving half of it to the
guy at the garage who has to clean all the
substances out of the back.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Okay, Hey, Joe Biden, he seems to be showing up
in public more and more, making more speechies. What the
hell why is he suddenly out in public everywhere?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
I don't like, I don't get what's going on with that,
because you know, we watched him last week when he said.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
The United States of Americ got it?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Do you remember that again?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
With the United States of America got it? And you
know I always tell you this. He makes me feel
bad for the sign language interpreter, you know, because that
guy finally got a break after four years of having
to make up sign Now Biden's back out on the
road inventing words. Look, if you're the sign language interpreter guy,
you don't have a symbol for AMERAGTA.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That's a good point. Hey, Trump's President Trump's speech last night.
I don't know. I don't think he's going his best
reading off the teleprompter, do you no?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
And it was funny because he delivered the speech like
he had ten thousand people screaming in an arena, which
made it look.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
A little weird in a dry room.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
You know, he was kind of like overperforming.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
And somebody was telling.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Me, well, like, well, you don't understand the networks only
gave him a fifteen minutes. I get that, but it
doesn't mean just because you have fifteen minutes, you need
to squeeze in two hours and ten.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Minutes worth of material like he was.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
You know, that was a runway stream and he made
a lot of good points, but like you don't necessar
early processed them all when they come at you that quick.
So the one thing I took away from it though, is,
as I was saying on Twitter, he gave money to
the troops.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
So we've got a.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
President who gives money to the troops. The last president
gave drag shows to the troops. So I think we're
in a better place.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Hey. Also, he was missing all the bells and whistles.
Usually when you do a speech, you know, you have
all the cabinet around, you're shaking hands after you're done
or something like that, or like a little pregame. They
didn't do any of that, did they. Everybody else was gone.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, it was the state it was.
Speaker 8 (26:29):
It was the state of the Union minus the Union.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
But he he came out.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
You know, he's very forceful.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Uh, and you know he made points. But the thing is,
it's we do one thing about Trump, like if it's
on his mind, it's on your television, it's on.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Your Twitter feed.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Like he doesn't necessarily have the bedside manner of like
good evening and happy holidays.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
It literally opened with.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Like Joe Biden has dementia. He rupined the country. We
were about to I turned it around, and happy holidays,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Hey, Dan Bungeeo ed Dan Bungino's leaving the FBI, And
I was saying, before I can understand you would know,
it's fun to do a TV show, it's fun to
do a radio show. Who would give that up to
go sit at a desk a FBI headquarters and it's
the most boring job.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Only you're not the only one who's asked yourself that question,
because you want to know what he probably was killing
him too, is you know when he was in the
podcast space, he could say whatever the hell he wanted,
none of it needed to be true. And you know
he was selling merch like Epstein didn't hang himself, Like
that's what he was doing. But then when you get
(27:41):
into that job.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
You got to rein it in a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And it also sucks because things that you say can
be disproven, Like remember when he had to go on
TV and go I know I used to say he
didn't hang himself, but trust me, I saw the evidence
he hung himself. And what I loved about that video
is if you looked close, you could see the CIA
person pointing the gun at him from behind the curtain.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
It's nice, nice the way they do that.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
You know, but you know, all of our Fox buddies,
like I don't know, Sean Duffy, whoever, would you rather
be doing a TV show than the Transportation secretary meeting
with railroad union exit. Who the hell wants to do
that all day?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah? Well, I would rather be.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Doing TV than anything because if I had a cabinet job, they.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Would run a background check and that'd be the end
of all of it. You know, my twenties who.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
But I get it.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's it's a cool thing for.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
A minute, though, because there's the one for a minute.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
A lot of people for a minute.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
A lot of people who work in news don't want
to cover the story.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
They want to be the story.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
So if you get one of those jobs, for a
little while, you're the story. But then what you've come
to realize is, you know, being the story gets old.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah, and that's I think where we're at now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Hey, Jimmy Faylor is on w o R every night.
It's an excellent show. It's very funny, entertaining, good formative
nine to midnight every weeknight. And what do you got
tonight on the show?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Oh, it is all going down.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
We actually have the founder of the Manhattan Comedy Schools
who has been in stand up you know, he started
Caroline Networks down Gotham Comedy Club and we're coming to
talk comedy, actually comedy over the holidays and how it
can save you.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
You don't get along with.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
So it's kind of like we're doing an interview.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, America, Well we urge everybody to listen because all
of you who start telling jokes and think you're actually funny,
listen to professionals give you some guidance on how to
do it. That would be great.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
You're going to charge you, man, it's the least we
could do. At least we could do.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Hey, listen tonight at nine. Also make sure you watch
He's Got the Best late night showing TV Saturday nights
at ten o'clock every Saturday night ten o'clock Fox News Show.
A little too early to know what you're going to
do Saturday night though, right.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Oh, I have a good idea of what's coming down
the pipe belt we have. This is a wild when
Neil deGrasse Tyson is coming on, which is a big
deal because it's not every day the guy who runs
this planetarium hangs out with the kids who got stoned
on the school trip to the planetarium.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
It's a nice touch, but we're excited.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
All right, that's Saturday Nights at ten. And also he's
got the best, the funniest monologue in TV Saturday Nights
at ten Jimmy Fayla and a very funny entertaining show
tonight nine o'clock on w R Jimmy Fayla. Great to
talk to you every week. Have a great Christmas. I'll
talk to you in the new year.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Damn right, ho ho home my man.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I'll see you soon, all right, take care. Yeah, I'll
be off for two weeks. Actually I'm off tomorrow. Ken
Rizzotto be here tomorrow, but for the next two weeks
after that, the final two weeks of the year, Curtis
Sliwa will be filling in for me. That should be interesting.
And it's that time everybody, it's not just me, you know.
Down the hall, Elvis Durant taking two weeks off over there,
(30:58):
Charlemagne taking two weeks. It's the Christmas break. Everybody kind
of disappears. But we'll have the best fill in. Curtis
Sliwa will be here every day ten to noon on
seven to ten WR.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Here's more mar Simone on seven ten wor Well.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, I'm gonna be off for the rest of the year.
I'll be back in January Christmas break. So but you
can follow me on Twitter, you can follow me on Facebook, Instagram,
all that stuff. We'll keep in touch that way, and
that'll be good. Let's go one more thing before the
(31:39):
day is done. I got an mc A luncheon for
the police athletically. George Pataki will be our speaker. Great,
you know, thinking about this, he was the last great governor. Well,
David Patterson was a great governor, but I mean really
was George Pataki the greatest governor of our recent lifetime.
Think about it. He just left when he wanted to leave.
(32:01):
He decided to move on and after three terms it
didn't run again. David Patterson decided, you want to do
something else, didn't run again. Outside of that, the last
couple of governors left with the police chasing them, remember
Spitzer Cuomo, all like driven out of office and scandal.
So our last great governor Pataki and always there to
(32:21):
help out with the charity's stuff. What else Christmas parties, Yeah,
there's a few more of them. I can't take any
more Christmas parties. Oh my god, that you just overeat
and overeat and overeat and over and then you work
here and every time you turn around there's six more
buffets out there down there. Just can't take it anymore. Anyway,
(32:43):
I want you to have a great holiday. I'll be
back right after New Year's Day and Curtis will be
filling in for two weeks. Ken Rizotto tomorrow, but then
two weeks if Curtisy were filling in. So be listening
and I'll talk to you in the new year. Thanks
for everything, Take care, w O. R.
The Mark Simon Show delivering the news before it is
on seven to ten WR.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, it's today Thursday, It's one week until Christmas. Christmas
is a week from today. Unbelievable. It's almost time for
New Year's resolutions. It's almost time for look back of
best of twenty twenty five? Can you believe it? The
year just flown by. So Nick Reiner was in court
(00:29):
with no tell that was he had on. It's they
call it a suicide vest. It's a weird blue thing
covering up. He had shackles on and obviously a very
very dangerous, troubled guy. He's being held in isolation. He's
on suicide watch. They brought him into court basically only
(00:50):
said one thing. He only spoke once when the judge
said they agreed to delay until January, agent and all
that stuff, and then she said are you okay with
giving up your right to swift try? And he said, yes,
you're on it. It's the only thing he said in
court that day. This attorney has Jackson is one of
(01:12):
the top top top Los Angeles criminal attorneys. Handled a
lot of big, big cases. It said, if you want
to hire this guy on a murder charge and get
defended by him. It's about a million bucks, so I
would assume the family is paying for it. Here's the attorney.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Afterwards, You're set for January seventh, foreign arraignment. That's the
next court date. And that's all I have to say
at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, so the kid will be locked up until then, dangerous,
dangerous kid.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We asked that during this process you allow the system
to move forward in the way that it was designed
to move forward, not with a rush to judgment, not
with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity
and with the respect that this system and this process
and that the family deserves.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Very well said, but I got to be honest, I'm
going to rush the judgment on this one. I am
going to definitely jump the conclusions with this deranged psycho kid.
I will rush the judgment on this one. But that's
what you do for a million dollars. You sound good
and you make these speeches, but I really don't know
how they I mean, you know what, I would assume
(02:24):
in the end, they're going to have DNA evidence that
will absolutely convict this kid through a hard DNA evidence.
Although it is Los Angeles where they have screwed up
more cases. You remember the OJ case was lost because
they didn't properly secure the evidence. Remember they had the
blood all over them. Do you remember OJ. He had
blood on his golf hand glove, He had blood on
(02:46):
his socks, He had blood in his bedroom, he had
blood in his washing machine. The blood was every place,
but they collected it and then they didn't remember. They
didn't secure the evidence properly. Remember that detective was his name,
Van at Er. How's that for a memory? Had to
admit under oath that he put the test tube with
the blood, he had it in his sport coat pocket
for a week before he vouchered or something like that.
(03:08):
They just screwed it up. So anything can happen in
Los Angeles. Now, in the Brown University shooting, it turns
out this Brown University has got one really bumbling, stupid president.
Her name is I forget what her name is. But
in fact there's talking now of hauling her in front
of Congress and making you testify about how badly run
(03:29):
Brown University was. You know, kept pointing out the security director.
I don't like his resume. He's got twenty thirty years
of school safety but you know, somewhere else, he was
a director of security at a school. Somewhere else, he
was a patrolman, but on a school a security force.
You know, you'd like to get a guy from real
law enforcement, a real ex I would hire an next
(03:52):
NYPD captain or something like that, or somebody with some
real law enforcement experience, because if you look at Brown University,
they have no clue to what happened here. They can't
give you a video of the guy. All they got
that one video you see is somebody's ring doorbell thing
from three blocks away. What the hell kind of campus
does not have surveillance cameras everywhere? The restaurants have them everywhere.
(04:17):
We have, look at it. We got them all over
the hallway. Look around here, go down the hall, turn
the corner. That's like you got to pass twelve security cameras.
How does the university with a bunch of crazy kids,
how do they not have surveillance cameras? They just don't.
This Brown president and Brown University, her name, I forget
(04:37):
her name, and then she's blaming the gun violence, gun violence,
gun we have. The gun didn't cause the problem. The
shooter did. And you don't have surveillance cameras, so we
can't get a picture of the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The shooter is responsible. Horrific gun violence took the lives
of these students and hospitalized others. And it's deeply sad
and tragic that schools across the country or targets of violence.
Brown is no exception.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
She's gonna get hauled in front of Congress, and I've
testified her oath. She's get three million a year, three
million a year and doesn't have a proper head of security,
does not have surveillance cameras, all the necessary equipment. Her background, well,
she's an economist. Well there you go. An economist, not
the good kind, not the Steve More kind. This is
(05:25):
like the academic economists. You know, they're just sitting in
a university somewhere and never make contact with the real world. Oh,
actually she did. Look she was at Princeton, an economist
at Princeton. Okay, New York Times is this New York
Times is the most incoonfident, bumbling partisan disturbing details from
(05:48):
the New York Times stunning Trump investigation, Trump Epstein investigation.
This is the New York Times published its most comprehensive
investigation Yet in to President Trump's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein,
now there's not much of a relationship. They knew each
other for a couple of years when he was a
first a zillionaire and he came to Palm Beach and
(06:09):
was throwing money around. He joined mar A Lago. And
whenever you run a resort, a hotel, a club, if
a new guy in town's got zillions of dollars and
he's spending like crazy at Coortia, and he becomes a
memory of a club of coursing over, you say hello,
You go to his parties and invite him to stuff.
Perfectly normal happens all the time. Times they had to
admit in the little fine print, all the Times found
(06:31):
no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's secks trafficking crimes. But
but they did so with their investigation reveals a social
and personal relationship far beyond what has been acknowledged. Now,
what are they based that, Well, they based this on
they were going through Epstein's stuff and he had a
(06:51):
copy of Trump's book, The Art of the Comeback, very
good book, by the way, one of his best. It's
out of print, but it's a great book. But in
the book, which was nineteen ninety seven. That's how long
ago Trump knew Epstein. He broke up with him right away.
He found that guy was creepy and got rid of him.
But in nineteen ninety seven he gave Trump a book
(07:13):
and he inscribed the book. He autographed it to him.
And this is the what their New York Times is
basing this on, that he was much closer than we think,
because he wrote in the book. Guess what he wrote
to Jeff, you are the greatest. Donald, ha ha. They
got him you are the great Well, I hate to
(07:35):
break it to you. I got a copy of the
Art of the Comeback from nineteen ninety seven, and guess
what he wrote in my book, the same thing, you
are the greatest. I hate to break it to your
New York Times. I could show you twenty letters I
have from him through the years where that's what he
writes at the end. I got a million notes from
him that he always writes you are great or you
are the greatest. It's just standard for him. It doesn't
(07:57):
mean anything. It shows you absolutely nothing about their relationship.
I mean, I could go back to the nineties, where
you know, i'd m see a dinner forum or and
he'd send you a note you were a great MC,
thank you so much, and then underneath it would be type,
but underneath you would write with the big sharpie you
are the greatest Donald. It's just standard. He does that
(08:20):
for everybody. So of course the New York Times never
really investigates, or they would have checked that out and
gotten to the bottom of that and realized they had
nothing there. You remember the kiss cam at the Patriots Stadium,
the kisscam scandal. It was coldplay the concert and the
(08:41):
big CEO is out with an employee. They've gone to
a concert and that kiss cam. You know how many
people are in that stadium, fifty thousand, It just zooms
around and picks out somebody. What are the odds that
it would land on these two who are having an affair, cheating,
not supposed to be out there and are holding each
(09:04):
other arm in arm and she had to resign. I
guess he had to resign. Well, she's finally speaking out
for the first time ever. She's finally speaking out, and
she spoke out and gave an interview. I'm reading the interview.
I don't really know what how she's saying. It's kind
of vague, she said. The sixteen second public display of
affection with her then boss left her. She says it
(09:28):
left me as a meme and unemployable. She had not
been able to get another job. She says, you know,
what does this mean? I made a bad decision. I
had a couple of high noons and danced and acted
inappropriately with my boss while admitting he was her big
happy crush. What does that mean? I made a bad
(09:50):
decision and had a couple of high noons. Does that
mean she was like Gary Cooper getting in a gunfight?
Or what does it mean? Does it mean high noons?
Does that mean in the middle of the day I
went to like a motel or something.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
I guess that's what it's supposed to mean. And it's
not nothing. I took accountability. I gave up my career
for that. That's the price I chose to pay. I
don't think she chose that. I think that's how it
ended up. But coming forward, I don't know why. I
guess is she going to have a book deal? Does
she want to get on the view? She says, I'm
not a celebrity. I'm just a mom from New Hampshire.
(10:26):
Even if I did have an affair, it's not anybody's business.
It has been like a scarlet letter. People erased anything
and everything I've accomplished in my life and achieved in
my career. This can't be the final word. Okay, I
guess what it is. She hasn't been able to get
a job, So this is she's gonna And she's not wrong.
(10:46):
You know, everything else fails, go public, get a lot
of attentions. You can get a job out of it,
she said. Instead, I became a meme and unemployable. I
was the most recognized. Oh no, I was the most
maligned HR manager in HR history. Well yeah, actually, if
you're the HR manager, aren't you supposed to be watching
(11:07):
for this kind of thing and stopping it, not doing
it yourself? Yeah? Hey, mom, Donnie. Two weeks from today,
is that New Year's Day? Yeah? Two weeks from today
takes office, the last two weeks of Eric Adams. Two
weeks from today, Mam Donnie is sworn in. Now. The
(11:29):
biggest thing everybody's worried about, obviously, is crime number two
would be these homeless camps all over the place. Uh,
here's some good news, some good news. The US Attorney
Southern District, that's the most powerful US attorney's office. The
current US attorney's a guy named Jay Clayton. He's great,
really great Jay Clayton. He has quite a career. You know,
(11:52):
he was the SEC chairman in Trump's first term. Donald
Trump likes him a lot, talks to him constantly. And
j Clayton as the US attorney. You know, in the
Southern District, they're usually going after some big fraud case,
or they're going after some big corporation, some big drug
trafficky whatever, big big stuff. But Clayton has said he
(12:15):
and his office and this is good news with Mom
Downey company, he said, he in his office will focus
on street crime. And they can do this. They can
do this. They can do a great job. And these
federal guys are even better. Sometimes they'll go after drugs,
they'll go after guns, they'll go after violence, they'll go
after all kinds of crime. Reason I say they're better.
(12:37):
NYPD is great. But problem with the NYPD. They'll do
a great job, but then it goes into a New
York City court, a New York City judge, a New
York City jury, and you know he goes to Alvin
Bragg local DA, and all these people do is let
the criminals back out in the street. Now, in the
case of Clayton, it's federal. It goes to a federal prosecutor,
(12:59):
and they don't let everybody go. They'll actually lock them up.
And as Clayton said, the one thing we do know
is if you keep letting the criminals back out, you're
going to have a crime wave. If you'll lock them
up and keep them locked up, crime drops dramatically. He says,
we know from studies repeat violent offenders, continuous custody is
(13:19):
the thing that reduces crime the most. Rudy Giuliani did
a little of this when he was mayor. They used
to have one day a week would be Federal Day
where the cops would go out there and have federal
officers with them, so the cops would break the case,
find the criminal, and then hand them over to the
Feds because they could make sure he got locked up,
unlike locals here with the das that we have the
(13:41):
crazy ones. So that's very very good news. And apparently
Trump is on board with this. So if it does
start to have if there is starting to be a
crime problem, you'll see the Feds step in on the
streets in New York and start arresting criminals and making
sure they don't get out. Very good news. And Bongino
is going to leave his FBI deputy director. It's been confirmed.
(14:07):
The replacements are a couple of guys. They're just you know,
career FBI guys. So, but Bongino has already cleaned out
his desk. He will officially stay until January and then
he'll leave. President Trump said Dan did a great job.
I think he wants to go back to his show. Yeah,
I don't blame him. You know, the problem is being
the deputy director. Basically you're just running day to day operations,
(14:31):
which if you're in that business, it's a great job.
But if you're you know, I gotta be honest with you,
it's much more fun doing this, you know, going on
TV and being on the radio and doing broadcasting. It's
a lot more fun than sitting in an office all
day doing FBI business. And for a lot of these
guys that leave, I don't know how they do it,
(14:52):
you know, I mean it's fun, you know, it's great.
All you do is have fun all day in broadcasting.
So Bongino wants to get back to that. Hey, you
know this assisted suicide thing where you can decide you
want to die and get the medical aid and dying.
You know, it's like doctor suicide. You can do this.
In Canada did it? They legalized it in twenty sixteen.
(15:14):
In fact, within five years, doctor assisted suicide became one
of the top five causes of death in Canada. So
they're pushing this in New York and Kathy Hochel surprised
everybody by getting on board with this. You want to
commit suicide, you want to die, you can go to
the doctor and have him suicide you Kavorki in you Now,
(15:35):
why would Hochel suddenly get it? Why would she want
to be Well, the insurance companies are pushing this like crazy.
In fact, they've been spending a lot of money, spending
a ton of money donating to politicians. They want this
because it'll save them a fortune. Now, who would want
to go commit suicide while somebody who's got a terrible
(15:58):
illness that's going to choir you know, catastrophic medical care. Well,
if you don't want to go through that, you'd rather
just commit suicide. It's you know, for you you think
it's better for the insurance company. It's a hell of
a lot better. You know that your insurance medical bills
could be ten million bucks by the time you're done
(16:18):
twenty years later. So the insurance company would love to
have you just go away. So they've been bribing and
donating and paying off politicians like crazy. And guess who's
suddenly on board Kathy Hokel. Well you do the math.
That's why she suddenly is on board with this. Hey,
we'll take Jimmy Faala will be with us in a
few minutes. We'll take some calls. Next. Eight hundred three
(16:39):
two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten.
Speaker 5 (16:46):
Give WR O, Bri said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear marximone and all the WR hosts in an instead.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Now back to the Marximo Show on wor.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
HEYXT and calls. Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike,
how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Good morning, Mike.
Speaker 6 (17:07):
Want to wish you a very pleasant vacation, not.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
A great vacation, just a pleasant one.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
A great with you.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
You have a pleasant.
Speaker 6 (17:23):
You know, the President looked pod last night and I
think he feels like he's in person alone. You know,
even even supporters you know, and who are analysts and pundits,
you know, they can't comet out and support him. They
always have to dump on him before they say anything
positive about him. And I think he's frustrated by that.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Well, no, he's okay. The reason he was a little mad,
like he did not want to do that last night,
that was the staff pushing that. Susie wils pushed it,
and right before he went it in front of the camera,
he said, she's making me do this. The last thing
he believes in is a formal speech, reading a teleprompter
at a podium, all alone in a room.
Speaker 6 (17:57):
That's like, I agree, but she's in by all these
pundits to say. He has nice to talk to people.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Very good chief of staff. But she's too old school,
old fashioned. This is the kind of thing a president
went to in nineteen eighty six. It made sense.
Speaker 6 (18:11):
It's not the age of Reagan anymore.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
You're right, yeah, it's too old fashioned. You know, thanks
for calling Mike. The fact that she's so old school
old fashioned. It's a very good thing when it comes
to running the office and discipline and but when it
comes to media communication, I think he realized last night
don't listen to her on that stuff. Let's go to
Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (18:32):
Good morning, Mark, Good morning man, Mark. I'd like to
wish you a merry Christmas and a happy twenty twenty sixth,
and to thank the Woor family and staff for another
great year of radio and especially your technical crew is great.
The fade ins and fade outs a flawless unlike the
(18:55):
radio station up to Dow.
Speaker 2 (18:57):
You know, most people glad you said that, most people
don't pay attention to the fadens the man.
Speaker 7 (19:03):
Yeah, your staff is really on the other station up
the dial. I'm not gonna measure it.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
But you can't. You know. See, we like we like
to use a lot of contemporary music. Every other station
right here, it's all songs from nineteen eighty three. It's
all old stuff.
Speaker 7 (19:19):
But not only that, Mark, they're faded in and outs,
and a lot of times they get cross talk, they
get two programs playing at once. I mean, you're going,
what am I in the twilight zone? Mark? That being said,
I know you're going to be attending a lot of
parties which you already have been attending, and I know
you're gonna probably speak to President Trump, will maybe even
(19:41):
go party which where President Trump friends in Italy that
sent me a package.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
First, what do you mean they sent me a package,
a package.
Speaker 7 (19:54):
For Midaly and they told me they couldn't even put
all the stuff in there that they wanted because of.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
The kind of package.
Speaker 7 (20:01):
So anyway, Mark, I can't get so anyway, I'm told
that it's being held up for customs. Mark boy put
in a good word for me. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
You know, if I were customs, if something came from
your friends in Italy to you, I I want to
check that package too, you know, Come on, Mark, No, no,
well we'll see what we can do.
Speaker 7 (20:21):
Well, hey, man, have a great vacation and you know,
you know, as Donald Trump would ride at the bottom. No,
you are the best, and thanks for a great great.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
You're one of the stars of the show. People come
up to me all the time though you're one of
the first things they mentioned.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Well, it's all it's all because of you and the
wo R family and uh and your staff. I wanted
once again, your crew did the best, Man, Mark.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Vincent, thanks for calling Hey, when we come back. Jimmy Fayler,
he's on every night here at nine o'clock, excellent show.
We'll talk to the great comedian Jimmy Faylor. Next on WRS.
Mister New York, Mark Simone on seven ten wor Well,
Jimmy Phyla, the great comedian, the excellent talk show host.
(21:12):
You can hear him now every night at nine o'clock
right here on WR every night nine to midnight. Hey,
and don't miss his Saturday night show, Fox News Channel.
It's the best late night talk show, finest monologue in TV.
Saturday nights at ten Fox News Channel A w R
every weeknight here at nine. Jimmy Fayla, How you doing?
Speaker 4 (21:32):
I'm doing?
Speaker 7 (21:33):
Man?
Speaker 5 (21:33):
This is it last week of normalcy before Mom Donnie
takes over.
Speaker 8 (21:39):
Isn't that crazy?
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Two weeks from today he actually has an inauguration day.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
Yeah, that's that's.
Speaker 5 (21:45):
The exact day. So, as I was explaining this to
people from out of town, I'm like, you know, you
still get sidewalk stands till about the thirty first, but
then they go home and you get Mom Donnie asking
for money instead.
Speaker 8 (21:57):
It's just it's just we just changed seasons.
Speaker 4 (22:00):
Just like that.
Speaker 2 (22:01):
Oh god, hey, I feel all fat and bloated, and
these I can't go to like four hundred Christmas parties
in two weeks. Do you have the same problem?
Speaker 9 (22:09):
Oh, buddy, it is so bad because the food right now, Like,
I'm not even halfway into what I'm what I'm committed
to eat between now and Christmas, and I already have
the wardrobe department chasing me with an ozembic needle.
Speaker 5 (22:25):
So I'm going a tough spot here, Simon. Like calling
sick to a Christmas party, I've never done that before.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
No thousands of my one buffet. You know I didn't.
I forgot you could actually eat sitting down. I didn't
even know you could do that anymore. So, hey, what
do you think of this? The Oscar? It's been on
television for a million years, ABC for decades. It's going
to YouTube. What does that signify?
Speaker 5 (22:50):
Well, we always knew the show was too long, and
know how they would say it was too long, and
they're worried.
Speaker 8 (22:57):
About advertising and stuff.
Speaker 5 (23:00):
I don't know that anybody even cares like they have
fallen so far in prestige, Like you think about that? Okay,
Like the oscars used to be like the classiest, biggest
spectacle in the history of the of the country every
year like that was the night, like the one night.
Now they're gonna be co headlining YouTube with a dog
riding a skateboard, you know, some guy teaching a blow
(23:22):
up doll how to salsedan. Like it doesn't seem like
a fall in.
Speaker 8 (23:27):
Class, a little bit a fall from grace maybe.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
Well yeah, but you're right. They used to have to.
You know, they were yelling to wrap it up by
eleven o'clock for the news YouTube. They can take five
hours if they want so, it'll it'll, yep, totally get
out of control. So New Year's Eves that's the worst
night of the year, isn't it. It's a really annoying night.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Oh buddy.
Speaker 8 (23:48):
If you are driving a cab, which is how I
started out.
Speaker 4 (23:51):
In New Year's Eve, everyone should do it once.
Speaker 8 (23:54):
It's like going to watch the ball drop in Husker.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
You should do it once, you know, if you could,
you could do it once.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
Nobody I know does it twice.
Speaker 8 (23:59):
I don't know a cab driver who has.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Driven multiple New Year's eaves.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
They've driven one, okay, and they've seen everything you'd expect.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
To see.
Speaker 5 (24:07):
Okay, it's like a well dressed Saint Patrick's Day parade,
you know, Saint Patrick State Parade. All of my drunk
relatives come into the city marching the parade. Then they're
hammered and screaming and breaking up and crying. And that's
pretty much New Year's Eve. Yeah, except you're trapped in
a small vehicle with him instead of a bar with
a jukebox.
Speaker 8 (24:24):
It's intense in.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
New York c when you make more money, when you
make a fortune on New Years Eve as a cab driver, Yeah.
Speaker 5 (24:31):
But you wind up giving half of it to the
guy at the garage who has to clean all the
substances out of the back.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Okay, Hey, Joe Biden, he seems to be showing up
in public more and more, making more speechies. What the
hell why is he suddenly out in public everywhere?
Speaker 7 (24:48):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (24:49):
I don't like, I don't get what's going on with that,
because you know, we watched him last week when he said.
Speaker 8 (24:54):
The United States of Americ got it?
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Do you remember that again?
Speaker 5 (24:56):
With the United States of America got it? And you
know I always tell you this. He makes me feel
bad for the sign language interpreter, you know, because that
guy finally got a break after four years of having
to make up sign Now Biden's back out on the
road inventing words. Look, if you're the sign language interpreter guy,
you don't have a symbol for AMERAGTA.
Speaker 7 (25:19):
You know.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
That's a good point. Hey, Trump's President Trump's speech last night.
I don't know. I don't think he's going his best
reading off the teleprompter, do you no?
Speaker 5 (25:30):
And it was funny because he delivered the speech like
he had ten thousand people screaming in an arena, which
made it look.
Speaker 4 (25:36):
A little weird in a dry room.
Speaker 5 (25:39):
You know, he was kind of like overperforming.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
And somebody was telling.
Speaker 5 (25:42):
Me, well, like, well, you don't understand the networks only
gave him a fifteen minutes. I get that, but it
doesn't mean just because you have fifteen minutes, you need
to squeeze in two hours and ten.
Speaker 8 (25:51):
Minutes worth of material like he was.
Speaker 5 (25:54):
You know, that was a runway stream and he made
a lot of good points, but like you don't necessar
early processed them all when they come at you that quick.
So the one thing I took away from it though, is,
as I was saying on Twitter, he gave money to
the troops.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
So we've got a.
Speaker 5 (26:09):
President who gives money to the troops. The last president
gave drag shows to the troops. So I think we're
in a better place.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Hey. Also, he was missing all the bells and whistles.
Usually when you do a speech, you know, you have
all the cabinet around, you're shaking hands after you're done
or something like that, or like a little pregame. They
didn't do any of that, did they. Everybody else was gone.
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Yeah, it was the state it was.
Speaker 8 (26:29):
It was the state of the Union minus the Union.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
But he he came out.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
You know, he's very forceful.
Speaker 5 (26:37):
Uh, and you know he made points. But the thing is,
it's we do one thing about Trump, like if it's
on his mind, it's on your television, it's on.
Speaker 8 (26:45):
Your Twitter feed.
Speaker 5 (26:46):
Like he doesn't necessarily have the bedside manner of like
good evening and happy holidays.
Speaker 8 (26:53):
It literally opened with.
Speaker 5 (26:54):
Like Joe Biden has dementia. He rupined the country. We
were about to I turned it around, and happy holidays,
thank you.
Speaker 2 (27:05):
Hey, Dan Bungeeo ed Dan Bungino's leaving the FBI, And
I was saying, before I can understand you would know,
it's fun to do a TV show, it's fun to
do a radio show. Who would give that up to
go sit at a desk a FBI headquarters and it's
the most boring job.
Speaker 5 (27:20):
Only you're not the only one who's asked yourself that question,
because you want to know what he probably was killing
him too, is you know when he was in the
podcast space, he could say whatever the hell he wanted,
none of it needed to be true. And you know
he was selling merch like Epstein didn't hang himself, Like
that's what he was doing. But then when you get
(27:41):
into that job.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
You got to rein it in a little bit.
Speaker 5 (27:44):
And it also sucks because things that you say can
be disproven, Like remember when he had to go on
TV and go I know I used to say he
didn't hang himself, but trust me, I saw the evidence
he hung himself. And what I loved about that video
is if you looked close, you could see the CIA
person pointing the gun at him from behind the curtain.
Speaker 8 (28:06):
It's nice, nice the way they do that.
Speaker 2 (28:09):
You know, but you know, all of our Fox buddies,
like I don't know, Sean Duffy, whoever, would you rather
be doing a TV show than the Transportation secretary meeting
with railroad union exit. Who the hell wants to do
that all day?
Speaker 4 (28:21):
Yeah? Well, I would rather be.
Speaker 8 (28:22):
Doing TV than anything because if I had a cabinet job, they.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Would run a background check and that'd be the end
of all of it. You know, my twenties who.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
But I get it.
Speaker 5 (28:31):
It's it's a cool thing for.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
A minute, though, because there's the one for a minute.
Speaker 8 (28:34):
A lot of people for a minute.
Speaker 5 (28:37):
A lot of people who work in news don't want
to cover the story.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
They want to be the story.
Speaker 5 (28:42):
So if you get one of those jobs, for a
little while, you're the story. But then what you've come
to realize is, you know, being the story gets old.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Yeah, and that's I think where we're at now.
Speaker 2 (28:53):
Hey, Jimmy Faylor is on w o R every night.
It's an excellent show. It's very funny, entertaining, good formative
nine to midnight every weeknight. And what do you got
tonight on the show?
Speaker 8 (29:04):
Oh, it is all going down.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
We actually have the founder of the Manhattan Comedy Schools
who has been in stand up you know, he started
Caroline Networks down Gotham Comedy Club and we're coming to
talk comedy, actually comedy over the holidays and how it
can save you.
Speaker 4 (29:21):
You don't get along with.
Speaker 5 (29:23):
So it's kind of like we're doing an interview.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
Yeah, America, Well we urge everybody to listen because all
of you who start telling jokes and think you're actually funny,
listen to professionals give you some guidance on how to
do it. That would be great.
Speaker 8 (29:36):
You're going to charge you, man, it's the least we
could do. At least we could do.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
Hey, listen tonight at nine. Also make sure you watch
He's Got the Best late night showing TV Saturday nights
at ten o'clock every Saturday night ten o'clock Fox News Show.
A little too early to know what you're going to
do Saturday night though, right.
Speaker 5 (29:54):
Oh, I have a good idea of what's coming down
the pipe belt we have. This is a wild when
Neil deGrasse Tyson is coming on, which is a big
deal because it's not every day the guy who runs
this planetarium hangs out with the kids who got stoned
on the school trip to the planetarium.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 8 (30:14):
It's a nice touch, but we're excited.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
It's gonna be a good one.
Speaker 2 (30:18):
All right, that's Saturday Nights at ten. And also he's
got the best, the funniest monologue in TV Saturday Nights
at ten Jimmy Fayla and a very funny entertaining show
tonight nine o'clock on w R Jimmy Fayla. Great to
talk to you every week. Have a great Christmas. I'll
talk to you in the new year.
Speaker 8 (30:36):
Damn right, ho ho home my man.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
I'll see you soon, all right, take care. Yeah, I'll
be off for two weeks. Actually I'm off tomorrow. Ken
Rizzotto be here tomorrow, but for the next two weeks
after that, the final two weeks of the year, Curtis
Sliwa will be filling in for me. That should be interesting.
And it's that time everybody, it's not just me, you know.
Down the hall, Elvis Durant taking two weeks off over there,
(30:58):
Charlemagne taking two weeks. It's the Christmas break. Everybody kind
of disappears. But we'll have the best fill in. Curtis
Sliwa will be here every day ten to noon on
seven to ten WR.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Here's more mar Simone on seven ten wor Well.
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Yeah, I'm gonna be off for the rest of the year.
I'll be back in January Christmas break. So but you
can follow me on Twitter, you can follow me on Facebook, Instagram,
all that stuff. We'll keep in touch that way, and
that'll be good. Let's go one more thing before the
(31:39):
day is done. I got an mc A luncheon for
the police athletically. George Pataki will be our speaker. Great,
you know, thinking about this, he was the last great governor. Well,
David Patterson was a great governor, but I mean really
was George Pataki the greatest governor of our recent lifetime.
Think about it. He just left when he wanted to leave.
(32:01):
He decided to move on and after three terms it
didn't run again. David Patterson decided, you want to do
something else, didn't run again. Outside of that, the last
couple of governors left with the police chasing them, remember
Spitzer Cuomo, all like driven out of office and scandal.
So our last great governor Pataki and always there to
(32:21):
help out with the charity's stuff. What else Christmas parties, Yeah,
there's a few more of them. I can't take any
more Christmas parties. Oh my god, that you just overeat
and overeat and overeat and over and then you work
here and every time you turn around there's six more
buffets out there down there. Just can't take it anymore. Anyway,
(32:43):
I want you to have a great holiday. I'll be
back right after New Year's Day and Curtis will be
filling in for two weeks. Ken Rizotto tomorrow, but then
two weeks if Curtisy were filling in. So be listening
and I'll talk to you in the new year. Thanks
for everything, Take care, w O. R.
