Speaker 1 (00:01):
NOWR Presents the Mark Simon Show. Thank God it's Friday.
We got a lot to get to today. The Mom
Donnie Trump meeting is today, just hours away. We'll give
you all the details. Thanksgiving is less than a week away. Yeah,
(00:23):
one week from today. It'll be the day after Thanks
to me, it'll be that silly Black Friday a week
from today. So we'll get to that. We'll get to
President Trump and his latest controversy. We'll get to that
Ukraine peace plan. We'll get to Jeffrey Epstein and a
whole lot more. We'll get to the anti Semitic terrorism
(00:43):
that's taken place in New York City. I think that'll
be a topic of today's meeting. So anyway, here's the deal.
President Trump will meet Mom Donnie today in the White
House at three o'clock. Mom Donnie asked for the meeting.
It was Mom Donnani that requested it. Trump said, yes,
it will be closed to press. It's not going to
(01:05):
be like the Zelenski meeting, where they'll start with the
cameras there and you'll be watching it live and they'll
get into a fight. It's going to be closed press. Now,
why is that? Well, two reasons. One, you can really
elevate the gravitas of Mom Donni if there's pictures of
(01:26):
him sitting in the Oval Office, sitting on the couch
with the discussing things with the president. You know those couches.
There's two couches in the Oval Office. That's where world
leaders sit as they meet with the president. So to
see Momdanni in that seat would be give him a
lot more cachet. It would look it's impressive to be
sitting there in the Oval Office with the president. So
(01:49):
they're not going to let the press in. Now. If
things go really well, they're going to have to call
an audible on this. If it goes really well, at
the end, the president can invite the press in and
then take those pictures. If he wants to give that
gift to Mom Donnie, he can bring the press in afterwards. Now,
you can't do it the other way around. It's too difficult.
(02:10):
You can't have the press in there and try to
throw them out if it's not going the way you want.
So they'll start with no press and there's a possibility
at the end they might be called in. Now, what
happens with the press at the White House there's about
one hundred and fifty news organizations that do the coverage
in the White House. Well, you can't have them all
there at once, so they have what's called a pool,
(02:33):
which they pick five news organizations to come in, do
the video, do the audio, and then that's fed to
the other one hundred and fifty. So every day they
have a pool, they rotate it. They pick different news
organizations to be in the pool. One day it might
be ABC News, it might be The New York Times,
it might be The New York Post, it might be Newsmax,
(02:54):
it might be BBC. What they pick five every day,
it's a different five every day that are chosen for
the pool. Well, I'm looking at today's White House pool.
I think the President was stacking the deck against Mom Donnie.
The five names in the pool are all big Mom
Donnie probably hating organizations. It's Fox News, Newsmax, It's all
(03:19):
very conservative news organizations in the pool, so that I
would assume that was done deliberately. So if they do
call him in, Mom Donnie's going to get no sympathy
from anybody. So the other question is who will be
in the room now if Mam Donnie comes in there
and sits down, and on that other couch it's JD. Vance,
(03:40):
Stephen Miller, Tom Holman. He's not going to like that.
He's not going to like that. So we'll see if
the President invites other people in who he invites in there. Now,
remember with the Zelenski meeting, everybody always goes to that
as the standard. He had all those people over there
on the couch. And if you want to to have
(04:01):
Zelensky have a hard time, he just turn and say J. D. Vance.
What do you think Vance would go after his Olenski?
They could do their good cop, bad cop routine. So
the meeting will be at three o'clock. I would guess
it goes about half an hour forty five minutes, and
then if they bring the press in, that'll stretch it
out and they might even take questions if it goes
really well. You never know what this mom Donnie guy.
(04:25):
He still seems like quite the con man, and a
good thing with a con man, you can make deals
with con men. Trump has one. He's got a lot
of great talents, but one real big talent. He can
go into a room with somebody's never met before. And
many people have told me about this he can. I mean,
I've seen it myself a couple of times. But people
(04:46):
were involved in big, big deals where they're going to
meet with the seven people from Hong Kong or whoever.
Trump has an amazing ability to get in the room,
look at him with radar and sonar and see right
through them, see everything, see their weaknesses, their strengths, also
to see what they're really looking for, what they would
(05:06):
really like. So sometimes they go in with a plan,
here's what will present. Barbara Krkan tells this story. They
were going in there to sell this group from Hong
Kong the Plaza hotel and they walk in, sit down
all around these big table. Trump takes one look at
him and knows what they really want, and it's waterfront
property in Manhattan, and he sells them the whole West
(05:26):
Side railroad yards. But he saw right in their faces,
he could tell what they really wanted. So he'll read Mom,
Donnie very well and he'll know. And I remember he's
done this with the big world leaders, with Kim Jong
un and others. Is Zelenski. It went badly the first meeting,
but he saw what was needed. You needed to slap
(05:47):
the guy around a little and have him come back
for a second meeting a little more humble. So we'll
see what happens at three o'clock. We'll probably know. By
four o'clock we'll have some word on what happened. Now,
what are the topics they're going to go over? Well,
police very important. He's agreed to keep Jessica Tish. Now
think about what that means. It's a pretty important to see.
(06:10):
It's the most important decision. You get the right police
commissioner and the police are doing their job and everybody's safe.
That kind of fixes everything in the city. As long
as the streets are safe, people stay, business comes back,
tourists come, money flows in most important thing, keep the
streets safe, and everything else will fall into place. But
remember this is a big thing for Mom Donnie to
(06:33):
get her to stay. Not just good police commissioner, but
she's Jewish, she's an Oligark, she's from an oligarch family.
It's everything Mom Donnie rails against. So he's made this exception.
Apparently part of their agreement is he'll leave the police
department alone, all his crazy stuff of the social workers
and this and that. He'll do that separately. In another department,
(06:56):
and he'll create called the Department of Community Safety. Now
he's given in on some things, social workers respond to
domestic violence calls. Apparently he's given in on that. He's
even said so, well, he's backed off on it publicly. Hey,
the other big thing is there's a civilian review board
that can really go after cops. The police commissioner has
(07:18):
a final say, but he was going to take that
away from the police commissioner and give himself the power.
Apparently he's backing off that. He hasn't absolutely formally announced it,
but his statesman his statements yesterday sound like he's backing off.
He's actually said there's a good chance he won't do that.
(07:40):
He will not take control of the Civilian Complaint Review Board. Well,
he sidestepped the question, he wouldn't say he was going
to continue to do that. He double talked his way
out of it, so that Bob and Weave an evasive
answer made it look like he's backing off that. So
in the meeting today with Trump, first single the Safety Police,
(08:02):
all that stuff, and hopefully Trump is going to bring
up what happened at the Park East Synagogue, one of
the great synagogues in New York on sixty seventh Street
on the east side, there were what were supposed to
be protesters or something in front of it as Jewish
people went to worship in the synagogue. It was not
(08:24):
a protest. It was Muslim terrorism. They were all Muslim
pro Palestine, but they tried to terrorize the worshippers. It
was actual terrorism. Trump's going to bring that up and
point out to them that if anything happens like that,
the government, federal government has every right to come in
there and arrest these people and charge them with terrorism.
(08:45):
And he doesn't want to have to do that.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Momdannie should take care of that. You can have the
same protest, you just have to do what Rudy Giuliani
or a good mayor would do, which is put them
across the street, far away, so not interfering the people
trying to go to the synagogue. Put them far away,
put a fence there so they can yell and scream
and do whatever they want, but they can't get near
(09:08):
the people or terrorize them. So that'll come up in
the meeting today. Now there's a long, long precedent that
allows federal troops to come in and protect the civil
rights of minorities. So if anything like that happens again,
this has been going on for many, many decades, federal
troops can come in and protect people in that situation.
(09:29):
They used to have to do it for black people
in the South when they were being terrorized by Ku
Klux Klan or other protesters. So federal law Trump can
come in and defend those people. They're also going to
talk about He's gonna explain, tobum donnie, this stupid. We're
a city of international law. Apparently, it's going to have
to give him a little civics lesson. We are not
(09:50):
a city of international law. The US does not follow
international law, never has, never will. We have American law.
We have our own laws. We have federal governm laws,
state laws, city laws, we have a Supreme Court. We
do not, no matter how many times he says it,
We're not a city of international law. This idea of
(10:10):
arresting Benjamin Netanya, who I'm sure the President will go
over this the way he claims he can do that
is netnya who was charged in the Hague with war crimes.
The President will probably have to explain to ma'm donni,
we don't recognize that court. That court is a joke.
It's not taken seriously. The US does not recognize that court.
(10:32):
And if Netanna, who were to come to New York
and Trump has said this, federal agents would protect him,
And a couple of Justice Department officials have said if
Mam Donni tries any crap like that, that the Justice
Department will arrest him for hate crimes. So but Trump
will do this nicely. He'll just kind of lay all
this out for him. He's also going to try to
(10:53):
explain to Mam Donni, you know this socialism, free free,
this free gross of free that these are, as one
person put it, these are dorm room conversations and college
dorm rooms from Naive's students. And he's going to try
explain to him. First job of the city government as
collect the trash, clean the streets, make sure they're safe,
(11:16):
run the subways, run the run traffic, keep the town
open for business. It's the most important thing. So this
could be a very very important meeting. It could go badly.
They could get no big fight. Mom Donnie could come
out yelling and screaming. But Trump's pretty good at remember,
(11:36):
Mom Donnie's just a kid. He's never had a job,
He's never been a negotiator. Trump is a master negotiator,
negotiating with the biggest people in the world in business
and television and world affairs. Been doing it all his life. Mom, Donnie, I.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Have many disagreements with the President, and I believe that
we should be relentless and pursue all avenues and all
meetings make our city affordable for every single New Yorker.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
All Right, we'll see what happens today. We'll know, there'll
be a little fallout over the weekend, and then we'll
know on Monday.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
My team reached out to the White House to set
up this meeting because I will work with anyone to
make life more affordable for the more than eight and
a half million people who call the city home.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Yeah, so his team, Well, that's Dean Fullahan, who's from
the Deblasio team, a couple of there's about five major
people that are like the major inner circle, four of
them from the Deblasio administration, one of them from the
Adams administration. Anyway, we'll get back to that. Hey, the
Dick Cheney funeral. You know who's getting a lot of
(12:42):
flack is Rachel Maddow who was at the Dick Cheney funeral.
To take a look at my Twitter. You can see
the picture of her sitting there next to Anthony Fauci,
Mark Milly, the General Mark Milly. What does that say
about Cheney that the Fauci Millie, the two most incompas
that bungling people ever in government are the ones there
(13:03):
to mourn him. But what the hell was Rachel Maddow
doing there. She's getting a lot of flak for it. Now,
remember when Cheney was in power there as vice president
those eight years. That's when Madow first came on the scene,
first became a big host. But for all those years,
Rachel Maddow brutally attacked Cheney, called him a war criminal,
(13:25):
a liar, a crook, a thief, a torturer, a warmonger.
They went after him for everything. Abu Garab, waterboarding, liar, thief,
They went out and claimed he was had some slimy,
sleazy Halliburton deal. None of that was true. Abu Gharab,
(13:46):
the waterboarding, the torturing in prison. I mean, they just
went after him like crazy. Now she's sitting there at
his funeral mourning him. This is the hypocrisy democrats are
famous for, and asked about it, she said, well, I
felt that he was I didn't agree with him one
hundred percent disagreement with him, but I feel he was
(14:08):
transformation over the last few years in helping to lead
the charge against Donald Trump. So she out and now
admits it. You could be hitler, you could be the
most awful person in the world. But if you're bad
mouthing Trump, she'll stand by you. If it's against Trump,
she likes you, no matter what. A pretty knee jer
(14:29):
kind of silly kind of way to behave. So the
Ukraine Deal, we'll get to that a little later. On
this Ukraine Deal twenty eight point peace plan, people are
saying it's quite an elaborate plan. Steve Witkoff put this together.
A lot of what they learned in the Gaza negotiations
used here. It's a twenty eight point peace plan. People
(14:52):
that have looked through it said it's absolutely ridiculous. It
gives everything to Russia, gives absolutely nothing to Ukraine. It's
twenty eight points. Twenty eight of them favor Russia, but
it's a starting point. They know what they're doing. This
is not the plan. This is like round one, Ukraine
will start eliminating stuff from it. Putin will argue, so
(15:15):
it's a starting point to try to get to something.
But the plan could never be adopted. It doesn't provide
any protection for Ukraine. In the end, it gives them
all the It gives Russia all the territory they wanted anyway,
So there wouldn't be much point to any of this.
It's round one. It's just a round one. Turns out
the Department of Justice under Joe Biden was so weaponized
(15:39):
targeting people law fair, you know, coordinating these Trump indictments
in four different cities. Now it turns out they went
after Jim Jordan in Congress, massive surveillance. They got his phone,
wreckerd emails, everything as GPA, they followed everything he did. Terrible,
terrible surveillance. So we'll just keep coming out. This story
(16:01):
will keep you just keep evolving, getting bigger and bigger
and bigger. Hey, we'll take some calls in just a minute.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
