Speaker 1 (00:00):
Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Here comes the Mark Simone Show on sevenoo Hey, well,
we got a lot to go over here. We'll get
to the Mom Donnie Trump meeting, what that was all about.
We'll get to the media myths that they create all weekend,
like Marjorie Taylor Green and illegal orders to the military,
(00:25):
and the Ukraine deal and all of that. We'll get
to the Thanksgiving Day parade. This is the week Thursday.
The weather doesn't look so good. It looks like high
winds are possible on Thursday. It's a little too early
to be sure, but if the winds are that high,
that means they lower the balloons down shorter ropes and
not quite the same. It never looks as good like
(00:47):
the floater, like just five feet above the ground. It
doesn't look right. But again it's only Monday. Things can change.
So the Mom Donnie meeting, well, you gotta remember it.
With Donald Trump, it's all a brilliant strategy. It's very, very,
(01:08):
very strategic. And it looked like, boy, they just hit
it off. He was so friendly. They were like, it
was like this bromance. It was. But remember that's always
how he does. The first meeting. That's what he did
with Putin. You remember that first meeting in Alaska, boy
where a friendly It was a love fest. He always
says that in the first meeting he's got a whole strategy,
(01:29):
which don't try to figure it out. It's four dimensional chests.
Only he understands it. If you ask him to explain
it to you, and he does, he's leaving out half
of it. I mean, it's very, very, very strategic. So
and I mean I've noticed one thing he's learned how
to do good cop, bad cop by himself look in
different meetings. So this was good cop. It went very well.
(01:54):
There were a couple I know some of the strategy
that was going on there. I don't know the negotiating
strategy of It's like like with a fish, like you
let the line out, let him swim a little, then
you reel it back in, then you'll let it out again,
then you're reeling back in. So he's doing that with
Mom Donnie. Now it was Mom Donnie that asked for
the meeting, not Trump. You know, they talked about meeting
(02:17):
at some point, but dude, it seemed to happen very quickly.
But it was Mom Donnie that wanted this meeting, and
he went to a couple of people who knew friends
of Trump, and they broke at the meeting. They arranged
for this meeting. Mom Donnie used whatever connections he could
find to set up this meeting, and his team flew
(02:41):
down to Washington, and the crazy media gave him flack
about flying. Why didn't you take the train? What's the
difference whether he flew or took the train. Trump, as
he did a number of times, jumped in to defend
him from these nasty questions. He said, Hey, the guy's busy.
The guy's putting together a whole administration. He's busy. They
have time to take the train. So he flew down. Now,
(03:07):
part of the deal was Trump agreed to the meeting,
but Mam Donnie was told not to push any of
his leftist agenda during any press conference it might take place.
So he was very careful not to do that. But
he had agreed ahead of time not to do that. Now,
Trump does want to continue with the deportation plans get
the illegals out, but he wanted to show Mom Donnie
(03:29):
it's nothing personally, He's not hostile to him personally, and
that he will give him a chance. He's not just
gonna come running in with National Guard and ice. He's
gonna give Mom Donnie as much of a chance as possible.
The other purpose of the meeting, Trump is trying to
sow some discord in the Democratic Party. He's trying to
(03:50):
create a little war in the Democratic Party. By getting
very chummy with Mom Donnie and having Mom Donnie appear
to be very chummy with him, is to stir up
a little trouble among Democrats and the Socialists, and seems
to be working. Also, remember Trump always loves to be unpredictable.
(04:12):
If everybody's expecting a fight, you won't get a fight.
If they think everything's gonna be wonderful, he'll give you
a fight. So it was very good. They talked about
in the press currents that they had a shared purpose
and they both wanted the same things, and you know
they could argue about how to get it. Jessica Tish
staying on was a key thing. Trump mentioned that said,
(04:35):
he and his family very close to Jessica Tish. They
like her. Then, you know, it's funny, Mam Donnie stits
talking about affordability building housing, affordability building house, Ma'm Donnie
as if this is his big mission in life is
to build this housing, is affordabilding. Now here's a guy,
Ma'm Donnie, was twelve years old, never had a job
in his life. He's sitting next to a guy who's
built hundreds of thousands of houses, literally low income houses.
(04:59):
You know, the Trump family business. Actually one of the
biggest parts of it is the low income housing Brooklyn
and Queens, started by his grandfather and his father and
Trump ran that business for years. It's still part of
the Trump organization, but they operate like seventy five thousand
middle class, low income, middle income houses in Brooklyn and Queens.
So when it comes to affordable housing, Trump Trump has
(05:22):
an incredible track record, Mom Donnie, it's just a dream.
It's just a pipe dream of his. And if you
were talking about building housing, if you needed a house built,
you needed a house built, who would you go to,
Mom Donnie and his team of wacky socialists or would
you go to Trump, who has the Trump Organization and
(05:43):
one hundred thousand people ready to go to build anything
you want anytime. So it was kind of funny Mom
Donnie explaining housing to Trump. But okay, but again, the
shared goals are there, they want We're going to work together.
We're going to make sure that if they're horrible people there,
we want to get them out.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
I think he wants to get him out, maybe more
than I do, so we'll work together.
Speaker 2 (06:03):
Yeah, if you got bad people, criminal illegals, you want
to get him out first, Mom Donnie. It went very well.
Speaker 1 (06:09):
I appreciated the meeting with the President, and as he said,
it was a productive meeting focused on a place of
shared admiration and love, which is New York City.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Yeah. They both He's talking about New York, not each other.
They both share in love New York.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
I think you're going to have, hopefully a really great mayor.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
The better he does, the happier I am.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
I will say, there's no difference in party, there's no
difference in anything.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
And we're going to be helping him.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Now. Everybody's been living in terror, the idea of Mom
Donnie taking over January first as mayor of New York.
Everybody's talking about fleeing, leaving, moving at So this was
kind of reassuring to people and for a lot of
these people. When Trump says, you know what, he might
be good, he might be very well. That calms people down.
So it did a lot a lot to calm people down.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
We had a meeting today that actually surprised me.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
He wants to see no crime, he wants to see
housing being built, he wants to see rensk down.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
All things that I agree with.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I know it might be differences about ideology, but the
place of agreement is the work that needs to be
done to make New York City affordable.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
So it was a very important meeting as far as
calming people down. Also, you know, if you take care
of crime, that's the one thing that came out of
there that he will try to keep New York safe.
As long as the crime is down and New York
is safe, that's ninety nine percent of it. That fixes everything,
that keeps people here, that keeps tourists coming, which is
a big source of revenue income, that keeps people New
(07:30):
Yorker's out shopping, going out doing stuff, spending money. The
economy booms long as crime is down. So we'll get
back to the mom Donnie meeting. Hey, let me just
clear up something. If you're watching these crazy Sunday shows,
if you watch the Sunday shows, you will have no idea,
what the hell's going on in the world. They just
lie to you and conjure up all sorts of nonsense.
(07:50):
So a big theme of the Sunday Show and all
this MSNBC and all this is the huge breakup of
Marjorie Taylor Green and Donald Trump. What an incredible breakup
there amazing rift that said, first of all, this is
all fiction. Donald Trump had absolutely no connection to Marjorie
Taylor Green. He had nothing to do with Marjorie Taylor
(08:12):
Green nothing. There was no relationship of any kind. There's
no breakup. She's in Congress, he's in the White House
once in a while, a couple times a year for
some reason or other, at some event or something. They'd
be in the same room, and he was always very
cordial to her. Otherwise, they had zero relationship. Out of
(08:33):
all the people in Congress, the one he has no
relationship with was Marjorie Taylor Green. There's some people in
Congress he's pretty close to, you know, like Pennsylvania's new
Senator Dave McCormick. Trump calls them all the time. They
talk a lot. He invites him to the White House
all the time, not just all the state dinners, but
every couple of weeks he has Dave McCormick come up
and they have dinner. Mike Johnson, same thing. If you
(08:55):
look at these state dinners and events, Trump invites people.
But if you also look at the private dinners he's
been holding, there's a lot of people in Congress that
he's invited to these private dinners all the time. Never
Marjorie Taylor Green. He's never had any relationship of any
kind with her, So they try to make it look
like this incredible rift breakup. They don't even know each other.
(09:16):
She announced she's leaving, she's dropping out. She's decided to
leave on principal. The principle is she knows she can't win.
He's not going to support her. He's going to support
the opponent, so she got no shot, So she's leaving.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I have too much self respect and dignity. I love
my family way too much, and I do not want
my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and
hateful primary.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Okay, well, all right, that's good.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It's all so absurd and completely unseerious. I refuse to
be a battered wife, hoping it all goes away and
gets better. Hi, everyone, I've always represented the common American
man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives,
which is why.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Now the problem is where does she go. You know,
if you're suddenly a Trump hater, you usually want to
go to MSNBC. But she yang. You can't have that
haced County fair sound at MSNBC. They're too highbrow for that.
I don't think she's even sophisticated enough to be on
the view. I don't think Fox has much use for her.
(10:22):
She's not a great policy analyst or anything. So I
don't know what the hell she's going to do. She
does have a successful business, she and her husband. I
think it's a family business. It's a construction business or
something like that. Successful business woman, so she could continue
to do that. Otherwise, again, no rift with Trump. He
had nothing to do with her, no relationship with her whatsoever.
(10:45):
The other fake story all weekend is that ridiculous video
that these people in Congress put out telling the military, Look,
if you receive an illegal order, we have your back.
Don't worry if you get you know, they ran this
thing everywhere. They picked some people in Congress that had
(11:05):
minor military service. That was they always used that for cover.
You know, John Kerry was the most famous one, and
when he ran for president in two thousand and four,
he had very, very minor military service in Vietnam. He
was in Vietnam for a couple of months. He got
the hell out of there as soon as he could.
It was only there like two months. But he made
(11:27):
it sound like he was General Patton, like he was
a major military figure, and he ran against Bush on
his military experience. His military experience was twenty three years earlier.
For two months he was in Vietnam. Bush, on the
other end, for the past four years had been the
commander in chief of the entire US military. So obviously
when it came to military experience, Bush won easily on
that one. But these people are putting out these videos
(11:50):
about the illegal orders, while we familiar now that's a
whole made up controversy. Nobody has ever heard of any
illegal order anywhere involving this administration, the last administration, the
administration before it. The last illegal order, I guess it'd
be nineteen sixty eight, the Melai massacre. Remember that they
(12:11):
massacred some civilians in Vietnam. But that's what is that
sixty years ago sixty years ago. You have to go
back that there's no such thing as illegal orders going around.
It's a whole fake controversy, and it was carefully calculated
to get the President to over respond. The media would
jump all over it. However, even the Sunday shows, which
(12:32):
are totally corrupt, would ask these people in they have mine,
could you name an example of an illegal order? There's
no such thing.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
But I am not aware of things that are illegal.
But certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going
on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, there are.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The reason we put that statement out is because the
sheer number of frankly young officers who are coming to
us and saying, I just am not sure. What do
I do? You know, I'm in South Kanin and I'm
involved in the National Guard. I'm just not sure what
do I do?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Now? This is complete nonsense. He's making them up. There's
no young military people calling represent Congresswoman Slot what do
I do. There's nobody in the National Guard calling up Sloti. Hey,
I started to bother you, well, what do I do?
There's nobody asking that it's all made up? Do you well,
this is that old hag Martha raddits.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that
are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that
are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related
to Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So it's a good idea. I guess they got away
with it. I mean only because the media is so corrupt.
You make up a whole fake controversy and then if
anybody asked you for an example, well, uh, at this point,
I'm not aware. At this point of you make it
look like it's a possibility. It's not even a possibility.
It's all nonsense. But when you got corrupt media, you
(13:59):
can get with stuff like this. Hey, coming up, we'll
do it in the next hour. Trump derangement syndrome, you know,
we call it that Trump derangement syndrome. These Trump haters,
they go insane when you bring up Trump. They start
ranting and raving, they start fuming when you bring up Trump.
The hatred. Oh this so it got the nickname Trump
(14:21):
derangement syndrome. It turns out it's a real thing. Psychologists
psychiatrists have declared it an actual illness. There's one great
psychiatrist I forget his name, but he wrote a op
ed about a week ago in the Wall Street Journals
saying it's a very serious disease, Trump de arrangement syndrome,
and he's been treating it. So the guy's been getting
(14:43):
death threads, bomb threads. But it's a real thing now.
Another one of our great psychologists, doctor Keith Ablow, will
have him on in the next hour, because he's been
studying Trump derangement syndrome. It's been coming up I guess
with his patients and in his practice, and normally things
come up in your practice, like you know, a patient says,
(15:05):
I get a little depressed at Thanksgiving. Well I don't
really like thanks that's a little thing. But he started
to notice with this Trump arrangements and it's not a
little thing. It's like a major major So we'll go,
we'll we'll talk to an expert on what it is,
how to cure it. Also, maybe he'll give us some
advice because you're probably going to a Thanksgiving dinner what
to do with the crazy, kooky left wing nut job
(15:27):
relatives who have Trumped arrangement syndrome and we'll get to that.
We've got all these TV screens. One of them is MSNBC,
which is no longer. It's now called ms now. They
were thrown out of the NBC building. NBC got rid
of the company, spunted off. They don't want anything to
do with MSNBC. Then they told them take our name
(15:48):
off it. It's now called ms NOW, and then they
threw them out of the building. They've been evicted. They're
now in a little studio in Times Square. So I'm
watching it. You know, nowadays the set is big TV
screens behind you. It's digital, so you can take a
picture of the old set and put it behind you,
so it looks like you're in the same place. But
if you ever watch it, notice you can tell they're
(16:09):
in a much much smaller room. You know, like when
you watch Morning Joe, that big round desk. They say
it was huge, like from one guy to the other
side of the desk was like twenty feet. Now it's
like three feet. Everything is smaller, tinier. They've been evicted. Also,
when they used to go to the correspondent in the
field in Paris, we switch now to our NBC News
(16:31):
correspondent in Paris, now they go to our MS now
correspondent and it's some third rate stringer, has nothing to
do with then network. So it got very cheap, very fast.
But see if you notice, Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
Fly from Midtown Manhattan.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Here comes the Mark Simone Show on sevenoo Hey, well,

She announced she's leaving, she's dropping out. She's decided to
leave on principal. The principle is she knows she can't win.
He's not going to support her. He's going to support
the opponent, so she got no shot, So she's leaving.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
I have too much self respect and dignity. I love
my family way too much, and I do not want
my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and
hateful primary.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Okay, well, all right, that's good.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
It's all so absurd and completely unseerious. I refuse to
be a battered wife, hoping it all goes away and
gets better. Hi, everyone, I've always represented the common American
man and woman as a member of the House of Representatives,
which is why.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Now the problem is where does she go. You know,
if you're suddenly a Trump hater, you usually want to
go to MSNBC. But she yang. You can't have that
haced County fair sound at MSNBC. They're too highbrow for that.
I don't think she's even sophisticated enough to be on
the view. I don't think Fox has much use for her.
(10:22):
She's not a great policy analyst or anything. So I
don't know what the hell she's going to do. She
does have a successful business, she and her husband. I
think it's a family business. It's a construction business or
something like that. Successful business woman, so she could continue
to do that. Otherwise, again, no rift with Trump. He
had nothing to do with her, no relationship with her whatsoever.
(10:45):
The other fake story all weekend is that ridiculous video
that these people in Congress put out telling the military, Look,
if you receive an illegal order, we have your back.
Don't worry if you get you know, they ran this
thing everywhere. They picked some people in Congress that had
(11:05):
minor military service. That was they always used that for cover.
You know, John Kerry was the most famous one, and
when he ran for president in two thousand and four,
he had very, very minor military service in Vietnam. He
was in Vietnam for a couple of months. He got
the hell out of there as soon as he could.
It was only there like two months. But he made
(11:27):
it sound like he was General Patton, like he was
a major military figure, and he ran against Bush on
his military experience. His military experience was twenty three years earlier.
For two months he was in Vietnam. Bush, on the
other end, for the past four years had been the
commander in chief of the entire US military. So obviously
when it came to military experience, Bush won easily on
that one. But these people are putting out these videos
(11:50):
about the illegal orders, while we familiar now that's a
whole made up controversy. Nobody has ever heard of any
illegal order anywhere involving this administration, the last administration, the
administration before it. The last illegal order, I guess it'd
be nineteen sixty eight, the Melai massacre. Remember that they
(12:11):
massacred some civilians in Vietnam. But that's what is that
sixty years ago sixty years ago. You have to go
back that there's no such thing as illegal orders going around.
It's a whole fake controversy, and it was carefully calculated
to get the President to over respond. The media would
jump all over it. However, even the Sunday shows, which
(12:32):
are totally corrupt, would ask these people in they have mine,
could you name an example of an illegal order? There's
no such thing.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
But I am not aware of things that are illegal.
But certainly there are some legal gymnastics that are going
on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related to Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
No, there are.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
The reason we put that statement out is because the
sheer number of frankly young officers who are coming to
us and saying, I just am not sure. What do
I do? You know, I'm in South Kanin and I'm
involved in the National Guard. I'm just not sure what
do I do?
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Now? This is complete nonsense. He's making them up. There's
no young military people calling represent Congresswoman Slot what do
I do. There's nobody in the National Guard calling up Sloti. Hey,
I started to bother you, well, what do I do?
There's nobody asking that it's all made up? Do you well,
this is that old hag Martha raddits.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
Do you believe President Trump has issued any illegal orders?
Speaker 3 (13:27):
To my knowledge, I am not aware of things that
are illegal, but certainly there are some legal gymnastics that
are going on with these Caribbean strikes and everything related
to Venezuela.
Speaker 2 (13:39):
So it's a good idea. I guess they got away
with it. I mean only because the media is so corrupt.
You make up a whole fake controversy and then if
anybody asked you for an example, well, uh, at this point,
I'm not aware. At this point of you make it
look like it's a possibility. It's not even a possibility.
It's all nonsense. But when you got corrupt media, you
(13:59):
can get with stuff like this. Hey, coming up, we'll
do it in the next hour. Trump derangement syndrome, you know,
we call it that Trump derangement syndrome. These Trump haters,
they go insane when you bring up Trump. They start
ranting and raving, they start fuming when you bring up Trump.
The hatred. Oh this so it got the nickname Trump
(14:21):
derangement syndrome. It turns out it's a real thing. Psychologists
psychiatrists have declared it an actual illness. There's one great
psychiatrist I forget his name, but he wrote a op
ed about a week ago in the Wall Street Journals
saying it's a very serious disease, Trump de arrangement syndrome,
and he's been treating it. So the guy's been getting
(14:43):
death threads, bomb threads. But it's a real thing now.
Another one of our great psychologists, doctor Keith Ablow, will
have him on in the next hour, because he's been
studying Trump derangement syndrome. It's been coming up I guess
with his patients and in his practice, and normally things
come up in your practice, like you know, a patient says,
(15:05):
I get a little depressed at Thanksgiving. Well I don't
really like thanks that's a little thing. But he started
to notice with this Trump arrangements and it's not a
little thing. It's like a major major So we'll go,
we'll we'll talk to an expert on what it is,
how to cure it. Also, maybe he'll give us some
advice because you're probably going to a Thanksgiving dinner what
to do with the crazy, kooky left wing nut job
(15:27):
relatives who have Trumped arrangement syndrome and we'll get to that.
We've got all these TV screens. One of them is MSNBC,
which is no longer. It's now called ms now. They
were thrown out of the NBC building. NBC got rid
of the company, spunted off. They don't want anything to
do with MSNBC. Then they told them take our name
(15:48):
off it. It's now called ms NOW, and then they
threw them out of the building. They've been evicted. They're
now in a little studio in Times Square. So I'm
watching it. You know, nowadays the set is big TV
screens behind you. It's digital, so you can take a
picture of the old set and put it behind you,
so it looks like you're in the same place. But
if you ever watch it, notice you can tell they're
(16:09):
in a much much smaller room. You know, like when
you watch Morning Joe, that big round desk. They say
it was huge, like from one guy to the other
side of the desk was like twenty feet. Now it's
like three feet. Everything is smaller, tinier. They've been evicted. Also,
when they used to go to the correspondent in the
field in Paris, we switch now to our NBC News
(16:31):
correspondent in Paris, now they go to our MS now
correspondent and it's some third rate stringer, has nothing to
do with then network. So it got very cheap, very fast.
But see if you notice, Hey, we'll take some calls. Next.
