Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, this is Mark Simon Show on sevenor Hey, I'm
back and lots to talk about. We got a lot
of stuff to go over. We'll get to all of
that's freezing cold today and it's going to stay that
way for most of the week. Yeah, that's is that allergies,
(00:25):
the cold weather allergies. It doesn't go away. So we
got a lot to talk about. We'll get to the
Kennedy Center Honors, We'll get to Ukraine, We'll get to
Narco Boats, We'll get to George Slapadopoulos, We'll get to
Mom Donnie and his latest crazy ideas. We'll get to
the pipe bomber and how they caught him. It's fascinating. Actually,
we'll get to the Jets. Interesting, what's going on with it?
(00:51):
This is going to be a big movement for the
rest of the season. Anyway, we'll we'll talk about all
of that and more. Be nice to your Democratic friends.
I know they're angry and yelling and screaming. I don't
know I have time to do it today, but we're
at some point we're gonna I'm gonna explain Trump derangement
syndrome in detail. After talking to a number of psychiatrists
(01:12):
and psychologists who've explained exactly what it is. There are
other types of this same disease. In this case it's
Trump derangement syndrome. There are other types. And also for
the past week or two, we've seen hegxith derangement syndrome
as they go nuts trying to get rid of Pete Hegsith. Now,
(01:32):
why it's not even anything really personal. They just want
to get Trump somehow. So whenever they see something, anything,
one little branch of the tree that looks like it's
gonna break, they're just break off any limb of the
tree anything. So they think Hexith is vulnerable. He's not not.
In any way. He hasn't done anything that anybody would
(01:54):
consider wrong in the Trump administration. Signal gait was a
complete ridiculous piece of trivia, absolute nonsense. That's where he
used that signal app for communication. It was approved by
the Pentagon. It was Pentagon policy to use it. If
you shouldn't use it, well you could take a look
at that and maybe not use it, but that's not
a scandal. If you're watching the Sunday shows this week
(02:16):
the opening segments, you might have said, is this a rerun.
Is this from months ago? They were talking about signal
gate using the signal but no, no, they just latch
onto something and they won't let it go. You know,
these Sunday shows, the idea used to be they go
over the news of the week. They didn't do that
on any of the Sunday shows this week. If you
were watching them, you missed out a review of the
(02:38):
news of the week. Instead, they zeroed in on one
or two things that they liked. Well, they're basically only
two get hexaf and Narco boats, and they were going
after these Narco boats, and every crazy Democrat was on
there with their crazy explanations. It might have been we
think it was, mightbe a fishing They could have been
(02:59):
fishing boats. No one's ever seen a fishing boat with
six outboards on it and super high speed going eight
hundred miles an hour at three in the morning. Nobody's
ever seen a fishing boat. I'm not an expert on
the fishing or boats, but you can tell a Narco
boat from a fishing boat. A fishing boat has fishing
(03:19):
equipment all over it and hanging off the sides. You
can tell the Narco boat because it's a super high
speed boat with a million outboard engines on it, and
it's got twenty five oil drums of chemicals. You can
always tell the Narco boat that way. See the fishing
boat brings bait. Bait isn't that big. You don't need
(03:41):
twenty five oil drums full of bait, so you can tell. Hey,
the best moment on the Sunday Shows. The finest moment
was the Senator of Missouri, Eric Schmidt Stephanopoulos, or as
we call him, Trump first named him, George Slopadopoulos is
interviewing him. Now us what they all do. The greatest
(04:02):
example this week was Margaret Brennan. You know they all
do this jacquel and hide. They have a Republican on
and every time the Republican answers, they tear it to him.
They a thousand follow ups, they tear apart his answer,
They yell and scream at him, they go crazy, and
then they go to commercial. Then they come back with
a Democrat and whenever the Democrat answers, they just nod
(04:25):
like a bobblehead. They have no follow ups, no pushback.
Whatever the answer is, uh huh, oh, thank you. Okay,
here's my next question. It's just little softble interviews. So
for the Republican they're vicious pitbulls tearing into them. Then
when they come back from commercial to interview the Democrat,
they're cute little poodles hugging the guests. So Schmidt brought
this up. Stephanopolos is trying to destroy Schmidt. He just
(04:48):
had a guest on talking about the Narco boats and
whatever the guest said, Stephanopolis just nodded like a bobblehead.
Then he comes back with Eric Schmidt. Whatever Schmid said,
Stephanopolis vicious, angry tears into them. Listen to this exchange.
This is Eric Schmidt. This moment went super viral on
the Sunday Show yesterday.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Well, I'm curious about your pushback on that particular point.
With your previous guests, you had zero pushback because he's
giving the Democrat talking points like you spew every single week,
which is probably why your ratings are so bad.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
He kept going, he kept tearing into Stephanopolis, and.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
You're trying to divert here the attention from what the
American people actually support. Seventy five percent of Americans support
US blowing Narco terrorists out of the water in the
Caribbean who are trying to poison Americans. There's no real
legal debate about the ability to do that. Now you
could have a policy discussion about it, which now you
see the Democrats pivoting from the second strike and the
(05:42):
war crimes allegation to really what this whole thing is about,
should we be doing it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
Now, you got to remember the drug lords, the big
cartel leaders, you know, Salamanca and all those and Gus
Fring and all the cartel leaders watching the Sunday shows
had tears in their eyes, so grateful at the way
these Sunday hosts were defending them in their drug boats,
sticking up for them, fighting for them.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
And this is kind of the rabbit hole of Trump
arrangement syndrome, is that they can't let this thing go.
They can't believe that he won. They didn't want Hagseth
to be the Secretary of War. They fought it. He
was their number one target. They failed at that, and
so now you just have a series and series of
issues that come up every week to try to undermine
this president and the Secretary of War, and it's not working.
Speaker 1 (06:25):
It's amazing how this Trump derangement syndrome has these Democrats
defending anything illegal. If it's illegal, they're going to defend it.
If it's narco terrorists and drug shipments, Fell defended, it's
illegals all over the city streets. Fell defended whatever it is.
If it's anti Trump, they'll defend it, even if it's illegal.
(06:47):
The standing up fighting for every criminal in the world. Hey,
now that one of the fascinating things this past week
was they caught the pipe bomber January sixth. Everybody was
focused on the trespassing incident at the Capitol and not
on the pipe bombs. Somebody put bombs at the RNC
and at the DNC. This is pretty serious stuff. They
(07:09):
caught it and they got the bombs and got rid
of them. But that could have been a disastrous that.
You know, all you heard about was January sixth, was
the trespassers, the people at unlawful entry. They were all
charged with unlawful entry, trespassing, that sort of stuff. That's
all you heard about. You never really heard any follow
up on the pipe bombs. And the reason was Christopher Ray,
(07:32):
who was the worst FBI director, a real swamp creature,
and the deep state the swamp was only interested in
getting Trump. They felt that the trespassing at the capitol,
the chaos at the Capitol, would get Trump, so they
focused on that. They investigated like crazy, they prosecuted like crazy.
(07:52):
They got like seven hundred and sixty of those trespassers.
They went after that. The pipe bomb they decided was
of no value to them as their narrative because the
pipe bomber tried to blow up the DNC and the RNC.
It didn't look like he had any political leaning, so
it was of no value to Chris Ray, the FBI,
the deep state, the swamp, the Biden adminstration, they they
(08:14):
weren't interested in the pipe bomber. Finding him not in
any interest, so they let it go. They had a
lot of evidence, but they didn't really do anything with it. Well,
a few weeks ago, actually a couple of months ago,
Trump administration decided to really go after this and do
the investigation and find this guy. And they did. They
(08:35):
took all the existing evidence and then they used AI.
Christopher Ray could have done this, and this is it's
fascinating stuff what they can do with AI. You ever
watched that CSI. But the laboratory stuff they can do
the scientifics to catch a criminals. Frightening, and you're a criminal,
you gotta go whoa this is? I mean, they are
(08:56):
really thorough, but this is way beyond it. This is AI.
So one of the things they used the AI for
they figured out what it takes to make a pipe bomb.
There's about seventeen things you'd have to buy to make
a pipe bomb. You'd have to buy a certain type
of pipe, certain types of chemicals also, So they listed
the seventeen things and then they looked through the sales
(09:22):
receipts of every store, everywhere, home depot, lows, every hardware thing.
They looked through all the sales receipts. Now, only AI
could do this. For humans to do this, you'd need
a team of like ten thousand people and it would
take them years. But the AI can look through the
sale of everything in the America and figure out did
any one person buy all seventeen of these things? And
(09:45):
they got a name somebody that bought all seventeen. Then
they could take the two locations where the pipe bombs were.
You know, your phone has a GPS in it, they
can track where you are. So and only AI could
do this for humans to do. It would take twenty
years and a thousand people. The AI could look through
all the phone records of all the cell phones and
(10:06):
see if anybody was in both those locations on that day.
And they did, and they got it down to one guy.
They figured out it was the guy. And then they
went to you know, they had the security video, they looked,
they found the guy on it. They've got him. He's
been arrested, he will be prosecuted. It's going to be
a hell of a trial. Christopher Ray could have done this,
(10:28):
Biden could have done this. They decided deliberately not to.
But they got the guy and it's a great, great,
great accomplishment for Jeanine Piro, for the FBI. Now here's
the only problem for you said, well, gee, I didn't
hear a loud about this. How come they're not talking
about this. Well, here's the reason. They've looked through this
guy is everything, his emails, his social media, everything. There
(10:52):
is no indication anywhere that he was a Trump voter.
In fact, it appears he did that register with either party.
He did not vote. It seems he has nothing to
do with Trump, no connection. He's more of just an
angry anarchist sort of a guy, so there's nothing to
tie him to a MAGA or Trump. So that's the
(11:13):
other reason you didn't hear anything about it this week.
He's facing thirty years in prison if convicted. It's most
likely he will be convicted. The evidence is overwhelming. So
that should be it. Kennedy Center Honors last night. It's
a great thing in Washington because here in New York
we got a million gallows. We got all sorts of
(11:35):
gallows every night of the week, we got all sorts
of awards, we got every there's a million things in here. Washington, DC.
They don't have a lot. There's really not much. There's
the Kennedy Center Honors that's like the one big galla
of the year. There's what they call the Alfalfa Dinner.
That's a big event down there. There's that White House
(11:56):
Correspondents Dinner. But that's about it. Very rarely today have
any excuse down there to get dressed up and go
to a big gallous. It's the biggest event in Washington
all year. I used to go to it every year
but stopped about ten years ago. But it was always
a great event. And when you go there, the Kennedy said.
The whole audience, the entire audience, are famous political people,
(12:18):
all the Senators, all the congressmen, all the cabinet, everybody.
And it's always four or five great honorees. A couple
are really big stars. A couple of people that aren't
such big stars to most people. You know, a classical musician,
a ballet, you know, that kind of stuff. But Trump
has taken over the Kennedy Center, put all his people
on the board. It used to be kind of left wing,
(12:41):
but then it got more and more and more and
more to the left. It was really partisan. Now it's not.
So you get real American heroes. You know, Sylvester Stallone,
And in the old days of Kenedy center'd be Laurence Olivier.
Now it's Sylvester Stallone. But that's good. And Trump, remember
loves Sylvester Stallone. They did a lot of stuff through
the years together, TV and other stuff. And the President
(13:05):
has a big ceremony in the Oval Office giving the
special medals, and then they go to the Kenny Center
and they do the big dinner. Here's President Trump and
it was Rambo. I knew nothing about it, but I
like sly so I said, let's go see it. After
about four minutes, they said, this movie is great. Yeah,
so hey. Also remember Trump became a big hit with
The Apprentice. It was the number one show in television,
(13:27):
so big that they decided to do spinoffs. Remember the
first spinoff of The Apprentice, Sylvester Stallone was the host. Yeah,
it didn't do well. There were fourteen Apprentice copies and
none of them did well. Only Trump's Michael Crawford Phanom
of the Opera. Donald Trump loves fan of the Opera.
You wouldn't think that, would you. You wouldn't think that'd
be his kind of ship. He loves it, loves the music,
(13:48):
loves Michael Crawford. He got the Kennedy Center Award. Well,
I don't think they're ever going to find anybody like you, Michael, Okay,
I know something about that business. I don't think they'll
find anybody like you. He was brilliant in the Phantom
of the Opera. He was amazing and Phantom of the Opera. However,
that's twenty eight years ago and he hasn't done much since.
I guess he has, But you know that's what he's
(14:10):
best known for. I mean musically, he's not. I remember
he's in Las Vegas for a while, one of those residencies.
But great to see him get it and big happy
crowd except for the left. Now, what they do They
do the Kennedy Centers on a Sunday night and then
they record it. It's a three or four hour deal
(14:30):
and then they chop it down to two hours for
a television special on CBS. That's been the routine for many,
many years. So it was last night they recorded it.
It will be seen December thirteenth on CBS, the edited version. Now,
this will be interesting. It gets pretty good ratings. But
of course the left wingers will not watch it. They'll
go crazy. But we'll see, we'll see how well it
(14:52):
does this year. Hey, we'll get to mom. Donnie coming up.
He's made the decision. He will give up his rent
controlled department. He will move into Gracy Mansion. Now, one
of the reasons is security told him that it's really
impossible for him to continue to live in an apartment
building in Astoria. There's a lot of security around him, mayor,
(15:12):
and they just it would be totally disruptive to the
apartment building. You know, when you're the mayor the governor. Generally,
you come into a building, they shut off the elevator.
You know, no one else is allowed in the elevator
except you and the security. So you can't do that
in an apartment building. Also, they'd have to check everybody
coming in and out all the time. You can't do it.
(15:33):
So he'll move into Gracy Mansion. Pretty good socialist. They're
living in a mansion, Gracy Mansion right on the water.
We'll get into this more detail later. He's got this
plan now to stop the sweeps of homeless people, the encampments.
Of course, this is a disaster. Eric Adams has been
doing a good job. You know, you may not have noted,
(15:55):
maybe you did notice you see very few homeless people
and you don't see any homeless camps anywhere. If he's
stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
on our part, New Yorkers are going to see the
repercussions of that. Yeah, so, well, well we'll get into
this and don't mam Donnie's ridiculous explanation why he seem
(16:15):
to do Hey, by the way, you know, you keep
everybody's leaving New York. That's it. Everybody's leaving. Everybody's people
are not leaving here. Actual statistics since the election. Real
estate sales have been booming since Mam Donnie got elected.
Since his election, eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have
been signed in New York City. That's a little down,
(16:38):
it's like down half a one percent, but it's pretty
close to last year. Eight hundred and sixty nine contracts
have been signed. Condo sales have been very strong since
the election. Luxury deals very strong. Forty one contracts signed
just last week. That's a lot. And you get on
these big real estate guys, the big, big, big geniuses
(16:59):
of real estate and banking. They know better, they see
the future. JP Morgan, you know, just open this massive,
massive new headquarters on Park Avenue. Ten thousand people can
work in that building. So you think, well, that show's confidence.
You know what shows even more confidence. Now I'm hearing
JP Morgan's going to do a second building a block
(17:19):
or two away. They need a whole other building, another
massive skyscraper they're going to do. And there's more examples
of this. So these guys think New York will be fine. Anyway.
We'll get back to Mom Donnie. We'll get to all
of that coming up, 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
Yeah, this is Mark Simon Show on sevenor Hey, I'm
back and lots to talk about. We got a lot
of stuff to go over. We'll get to all of
that's freezing cold today and it's going to stay that
way for most of the week. Yeah, that's is that allergies,
(00:25):
the cold weather allergies. It doesn't go away. So we
got a lot to talk about. We'll get to the
Kennedy Center Honors, We'll get to Ukraine, We'll get to
Narco Boats, We'll get to George Slapadopoulos, We'll get to
Mom Donnie and his latest crazy ideas. We'll get to
the pipe bomber and how they caught him. It's fascinating. Actually,
we'll get to the Jets. Interesting, what's going on with it?
(00:51):
This is going to be a big movement for the
rest of the season. Anyway, we'll we'll talk about all
of that and more. Be nice to your Democratic friends.
I know they're angry and yelling and screaming. I don't

You know, your phone has a GPS in it, they
can track where you are. So and only AI could
do this for humans to do. It would take twenty
years and a thousand people. The AI could look through
all the phone records of all the cell phones and
(10:06):
see if anybody was in both those locations on that day.
And they did, and they got it down to one guy.
They figured out it was the guy. And then they
went to you know, they had the security video, they looked,
they found the guy on it. They've got him. He's
been arrested, he will be prosecuted. It's going to be
a hell of a trial. Christopher Ray could have done this,
(10:28):
Biden could have done this. They decided deliberately not to.
But they got the guy and it's a great, great,
great accomplishment for Jeanine Piro, for the FBI. Now here's
the only problem for you said, well, gee, I didn't
hear a loud about this. How come they're not talking
about this. Well, here's the reason. They've looked through this
guy is everything, his emails, his social media, everything. There
(10:52):
is no indication anywhere that he was a Trump voter.
In fact, it appears he did that register with either party.
He did not vote. It seems he has nothing to
do with Trump, no connection. He's more of just an
angry anarchist sort of a guy, so there's nothing to
tie him to a MAGA or Trump. So that's the
(11:13):
other reason you didn't hear anything about it this week.
He's facing thirty years in prison if convicted. It's most
likely he will be convicted. The evidence is overwhelming. So
that should be it. Kennedy Center Honors last night. It's
a great thing in Washington because here in New York
we got a million gallows. We got all sorts of
(11:35):
gallows every night of the week, we got all sorts
of awards, we got every there's a million things in here. Washington, DC.
They don't have a lot. There's really not much. There's
the Kennedy Center Honors that's like the one big galla
of the year. There's what they call the Alfalfa Dinner.
That's a big event down there. There's that White House
(11:56):
Correspondents Dinner. But that's about it. Very rarely today have
any excuse down there to get dressed up and go
to a big gallous. It's the biggest event in Washington
all year. I used to go to it every year
but stopped about ten years ago. But it was always
a great event. And when you go there, the Kennedy said.
The whole audience, the entire audience, are famous political people,
(12:18):
all the Senators, all the congressmen, all the cabinet, everybody.
And it's always four or five great honorees. A couple
are really big stars. A couple of people that aren't
such big stars to most people. You know, a classical musician,
a ballet, you know, that kind of stuff. But Trump
has taken over the Kennedy Center, put all his people
on the board. It used to be kind of left wing,
(12:41):
but then it got more and more and more and
more to the left. It was really partisan. Now it's not.
So you get real American heroes. You know, Sylvester Stallone,
And in the old days of Kenedy center'd be Laurence Olivier.
Now it's Sylvester Stallone. But that's good. And Trump, remember
loves Sylvester Stallone. They did a lot of stuff through
the years together, TV and other stuff. And the President
(13:05):
has a big ceremony in the Oval Office giving the
special medals, and then they go to the Kenny Center
and they do the big dinner. Here's President Trump and
it was Rambo. I knew nothing about it, but I
like sly so I said, let's go see it. After
about four minutes, they said, this movie is great. Yeah,
so hey. Also remember Trump became a big hit with
The Apprentice. It was the number one show in television,
(13:27):
so big that they decided to do spinoffs. Remember the
first spinoff of The Apprentice, Sylvester Stallone was the host. Yeah,
it didn't do well. There were fourteen Apprentice copies and
none of them did well. Only Trump's Michael Crawford Phanom
of the Opera. Donald Trump loves fan of the Opera.
You wouldn't think that, would you. You wouldn't think that'd
be his kind of ship. He loves it, loves the music,
(13:48):
loves Michael Crawford. He got the Kennedy Center Award. Well,
I don't think they're ever going to find anybody like you, Michael, Okay,
I know something about that business. I don't think they'll
find anybody like you. He was brilliant in the Phantom
of the Opera. He was amazing and Phantom of the Opera. However,
that's twenty eight years ago and he hasn't done much since.
I guess he has, But you know that's what he's
(14:10):
best known for. I mean musically, he's not. I remember
he's in Las Vegas for a while, one of those residencies.
But great to see him get it and big happy
crowd except for the left. Now, what they do They
do the Kennedy Centers on a Sunday night and then
they record it. It's a three or four hour deal
(14:30):
and then they chop it down to two hours for
a television special on CBS. That's been the routine for many,
many years. So it was last night they recorded it.
It will be seen December thirteenth on CBS, the edited version. Now,
this will be interesting. It gets pretty good ratings. But
of course the left wingers will not watch it. They'll
go crazy. But we'll see, we'll see how well it
(14:52):
does this year. Hey, we'll get to mom. Donnie coming up.
He's made the decision. He will give up his rent
controlled department. He will move into Gracy Mansion. Now, one
of the reasons is security told him that it's really
impossible for him to continue to live in an apartment
building in Astoria. There's a lot of security around him, mayor,
(15:12):
and they just it would be totally disruptive to the
apartment building. You know, when you're the mayor the governor. Generally,
you come into a building, they shut off the elevator.
You know, no one else is allowed in the elevator
except you and the security. So you can't do that
in an apartment building. Also, they'd have to check everybody
coming in and out all the time. You can't do it.
(15:33):
So he'll move into Gracy Mansion. Pretty good socialist. They're
living in a mansion, Gracy Mansion right on the water.
We'll get into this more detail later. He's got this
plan now to stop the sweeps of homeless people, the encampments.
Of course, this is a disaster. Eric Adams has been
doing a good job. You know, you may not have noted,
(15:55):
maybe you did notice you see very few homeless people
and you don't see any homeless camps anywhere. If he's
stating he's no longer going to implement a smart policy
on our part, New Yorkers are going to see the
repercussions of that. Yeah, so, well, well we'll get into
this and don't mam Donnie's ridiculous explanation why he seem
(16:15):
to do Hey, by the way, you know, you keep
everybody's leaving New York. That's it. Everybody's leaving. Everybody's people
are not leaving here. Actual statistics since the election. Real
estate sales have been booming since Mam Donnie got elected.
Since his election, eight hundred and sixty nine contracts have
been signed in New York City. That's a little down,
(16:38):
it's like down half a one percent, but it's pretty
close to last year. Eight hundred and sixty nine contracts
have been signed. Condo sales have been very strong since
the election. Luxury deals very strong. Forty one contracts signed
just last week. That's a lot. And you get on
these big real estate guys, the big, big, big geniuses
(16:59):
of real estate and banking. They know better, they see
the future. JP Morgan, you know, just open this massive,
massive new headquarters on Park Avenue. Ten thousand people can
work in that building. So you think, well, that show's confidence.
You know what shows even more confidence. Now I'm hearing
JP Morgan's going to do a second building a block
(17:19):
or two away. They need a whole other building, another
massive skyscraper they're going to do. And there's more examples
of this. So these guys think New York will be fine. Anyway.
We'll get back to Mom Donnie. We'll get to all
of that coming up, 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
