Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's more of the Mark Simon Show on WR. Well,
we've got a lot to get through this area. It's
Veterans Day, Happy Veterans Day, and we salute all of
our veterans. The parade will begin at twelve thirty. Just
remember that if you're trying to get around Manhattan. The
parade starts at Fifth Avenue about twenty fifth Street, goes
(00:23):
up to about forty fifth Street, so it starts at
twelve thirty. It'll go about three thirty four o'clock. It's
a Veterans Day. Also, the first snow fell this morning
in New York City, just a couple of flakes here
and there. It didn't stick, obviously, but if you're watching
early morning TV, they had reporters out there showing you
(00:43):
these little flakes of snow. They described it as dandriff like,
just a few little white spots here and there, but
it did not stick. We probably will not get a
lot of snow this winter because the Farmer's Almanac predicted
very cold winter with heavy snow. And remember Farmer's Almanac
is wrong like ninety percent of the time, so that's
(01:05):
good news. The Democrats, they're kind of in a shambles.
Right now, after this shutdown cave in, they're calling for
Schumer to step down. You know, his term is up
pretty soon and somebody's going to run against him. But
word is from the Schumer camp, inside the Schumer camp,
(01:29):
he's not going to run again. He will he will
step down. He will probably finish his term, but he'll
announce he's not going to seek reelection. Now that's not
enough for these crazy, angry Democrats. They want him out now,
they want him to step down. But he thinks if
he just announces he won't seek reelection, that that'll shut
down that step down talk, that that'll quiet him down,
(01:52):
keep him happy. I don't know if he were to
step down, Kathy Hochel would appoint a new senator finish
out the term. I don't think anybody wants Kathy Hochel
picking anybody. Fetterman, who's the only honest Democrat out there.
He's like the Bill Clinton of Democrats in it. Back then,
(02:13):
same thing was going on in the Democratic Party. The
crazy left had taken over. The extremists were running the party,
and then Bill Clinton rose up. Is this moderate, common
sense sort of Democrat to lead them back to the
middle of the road where they could win again. Fetterman
trying to be that. But Fetterman last night he was
(02:33):
Unhannity and thanks to Sean Hannedy who gave me a
couple of nice plugs last night on his show. But
Fetterman was on, and Fetterman just came right out and
said it. The Democratic Party has no leader. There's nobody
in charge. It's just that old inmates running the asylum
kind of situation. Nobody's in charge, there's no leader. Now, normally,
(02:57):
if you're the Senate leader Schumer, you might be the leader.
But he's again an outcast right now. They want him gone.
They don't even want him to finish this term. They
want him to step down now. Hakeem Jefferies House leader
might be the leader, but he just talks like a robot.
He just talks like this all the time. He's just
(03:18):
something's wrong with the guy. He's very robotic. And I
don't have much to say about those individuals. And they're
going to have to explain themselves to their constituents and
to the American people, I certainly, and he you know,
and Trump does those wonderful AI memes with the sombrero
on him and the Mexican music, and it works because
he's such a stiff. So he's no leader. Who's the
(03:39):
leader of the party now as far as twenty twenty eight,
who's the candidate? Well, it looks like Newsom's in the
lead right now, but he's no leader. He's more of
a he's just sort of a slick, fast talker. He's
like a fancy, fancy, upscale mom. Donnie may be the
lead eight right now, but he's no leader. Normally the
(04:03):
vice president would be the leader Mon Dale at the time,
or Al Gore or whoever. But Kamala Harris just a goofball.
She's certainly not the leader. So it's just rudderless right now.
And that's why the crazy crazy left is running around
trying to take control of the party. Hey, speaking of
crazy left, Jimmy Kimmel, all right, we all know he's
(04:24):
a crazy left winger, but we didn't really know about
Kimmel's wife till they did this podcast. And I had
no idea that Jimmy Kimmel's wife name is Molly McNerney, McNerney,
whatever her name is. I didn't know this. She's the
head writer of the show and she's the executive producer
(04:44):
of the show. Well, that explains a lot. You know,
it's very, very tough to work with your wife. It's
really tough to work with your wife. It's not easy
to do. And it's really tough if your wife runs
your s show, if she's the executive producer, she's the
head writer. You go back to very early David Letterman.
(05:05):
He was living. Girlfriend was Meryl what was the named
Meryl Marko. She was the head writer, but there was
someone else running things, an executive producer. So his wife
is the head writer and the executive producer, and she's
these are two completely nutty Trump to arrangement syndrome lunatics,
Kimmel and his wife. So on the podcast, she reveals
(05:28):
that there are many people in their family. They got
a big family, aunts, uncles, relatives, nieces, all sorts of stuff.
In laws. Some of them are Trump supporters and some
of them voted for Trump. So she says that she
got no big fight with all the family. She sent
them many many emails right before the election. I'm begging you,
begging you not to vote for him. And she sent
(05:51):
an email to everybody, here's ten reasons not to vote
for this guy, please don't. And she was very upset.
She said, I got ignored by ninety percent of them.
I got truly insane responses from a few. But this
is the problem with these trumped arrangements syndrome lunatics. They
don't realize they're the ones. They're the ones that are
(06:12):
completely insane. It's insane hatred of Trump. If you don't
like them, don't vote for him, but don't worry about it.
I don't like Chuck Schumer, but I don't run around
yelling and screaming about it. And I don't get no
fight with somebody that's voting for him. Who cares? I mean,
this Trump derangement syndrome is insane. And the idea of
(06:34):
this woman that she'll tell you who to vote for.
You must listen to her. You cannot do what you want.
And then she goes ah. And it hurts me so
much because of the personal relationships I don't have, where
my husband is out there fighting this man. He is
fighting this man. It's supposed to be a late night show.
He's supposed to be a comedian. You're supposed to come
out and make people laugh and make jokes. You're not
(06:55):
there to fight this man. He's fighting this man into me.
Voting for Trump is not voting for my husband, not
voting for me and our family. And unfortunately I've kind
of lost relationships with people in my family because of it.
Well you really, if the family is listening, take this
(07:16):
woman to a mental institution, get power of attorney for her,
get her in a straight jacket. That's insane. You know,
if I run into crazy left wing MSNBC host, we're
very cordial. Hey, how are you? How's it going. You know,
(07:36):
I don't start yelling and screaming at them. And you
may not know this, but off the air they don't
start yelling and screaming either. It's actually pretty friendly off
the air affect. A lot of them aren't that left wing.
They just pretend to be on TV. But again, if
somebody hates Trump, good knock yourself out. But I have
(07:58):
to sit there and argue with them all day. Speaking
of MSNBC, what's today, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and then
that's it. After today, there's only three more days of
MSNBC and then it's gone. It becomes ms now. It'll
be a whole new network. Now it'll look the same,
it'll have the same anchors and all this, but they're
(08:20):
moving to a cheaper, junkier studio, a little cheap, smaller studio.
They're gonna lose the logo, the MSNBC name. They're gonna
call it MS now. And they also lose NBC News.
They won't have those an those reporters to go to
and those correspondents in the field. But you can make
a deal with a network too, you know, I think
(08:42):
we do that. We have NBC News and ABC News.
You can make a deal to use their resources and
their you know, their correspondence. So they'll probably do that,
but they will no longer be associated with NBC. They've
been tossed out a Rockefeller Center. They will op right
out of this little studio in Times Square forty third
(09:03):
Street while they look for permanent headquarters. But we'll see
they're very worried about you know, it could be a problem,
you saying, well, it's going to be the same people,
just different name, different logo, different You never know. Sometimes
you do a little thing like change the logo and
it screws up the whole thing. Look at Cracker Barely.
They just changed the logo and all hell broke loose
(09:23):
and the stock dropped in half and people stop going.
You never know, changing the logo, rebranding. It can be very,
very very tricky. Speaking of Rockefeller Center, the Christmas tree
is there, it's up, it's covered with scaffolding right now
as they put all the lights on and all that stuff.
There are people that say they start Christmas too early
(09:46):
every year, you know, like it's almost like not even Halloween,
and they're selling Christmas stuff in the stores. And you're
over there up on top of Radio City. They got
the Christmas tree up already on the marquee, that Christmas
tree that lights up above it. So there's one complex
down in Florida, bellfour Betty Communities. This is like an
(10:08):
old older folks community down in Florida. And you know
these condo communities, these kind of places. They make these
regulations and they can be a little strict. But some
people were putting up Christmas lights early, and this community
sent a message to everybody, no Christmas decorations are allowed yet,
you have to wait till after Thanksgiving. You have to
(10:30):
wait till the Christmas season begins. I don't know. That
may not be a bad rule, like no one's allowed
to put up any Christmas stuff till after Thanksgiving. Residents
apparently went along with it. The memo to all the
residents said, one holiday at a time, one holiday at
a time, nothing, no Christmas anything until Thanksgiving was over.
(10:53):
The okay, not a bad rule. I kind of like it. Hey,
the BBC. You know, here in the United States, we
saw slanted partisan news MSNBC all that kind of stuff,
and CNN got very partisan. But then you saw what
(11:13):
were considered the most prestigious news organizations go totally corrupt.
The New York Times, NBC, ABC, CBS totally corrupt, slanted, biased,
lots of fake news, literally fake news, things that weren't
true coming out. I could read you a whole list
of absolute nonsense. They made up about Trump and pushed
(11:34):
the Russia hoaks a big example. But it happened in England.
The BBC went totally corrupt. Sixty minutes totally corrupt the
Kamala Harris interview. They doctored up the video to give
you a completely different impression instead of what actually happened.
When Trump was talking about the surveillance on his campaign
(11:54):
in that famous interview with Leslie Stall, they actually lied
to the viewers. They said, there's no surveillance, it never happened. Well,
of course Trump was right, but it's happened with the BBC.
They've been caught in total corruption. Believe it or not.
They're still focused on January sixth. They did a documentary
on January sixth, and they literally doctored up what the
(12:17):
President said that day. President Trump, as you know, he said,
we're going to march to the Capitol right now, and
we're going to protest peacefully and patriotically, and so we
said all the right stuff. But they doctored up the video.
They literally edited it, chopped it up, so he said
something totally different. So if you're watching the documentary, said
(12:37):
we're going to march to the Capitol, I'm gonna go
with you, and we're gonna fight. We're gonna fight like hell. Well,
that's not what he said. It was completely doctored, completely falsified.
They got caught. It's been a big scandal in England.
The BBC director general had to resign over it. The
BBC News chief had to resign over it. A lot
(12:58):
of executives had to quit over it. It's a major scandal.
President Trump says he may sue the BBC. Remember, he
got a lot of money. He got about fifteen million
out of ABC News when they lied about him. He
got but I think it was fifteen million plus. There
was a total of about thirty million from CBS when
sixty Minutes lied about Kamala Harris. And I'm missing another one.
(13:21):
There's another lawsuit or two there where he's made some
money like that, I think the settlements. So he's up
to like forty fifty million in settlements now he said
he might sue the BBC. The problem is it's really
tough to sue overseas. It's very difficult to do it
from another country. Now the British Prime Minister expect him
(13:41):
to get involved in this. He may even jump in
and try to settle something. BBC is controlled by the government,
so look for that to happen. Hey, we'll take some
calls in a minute. Oh hey, I wanted to mention
you know our great friend Nelson de Mill, the great
author Nelson to Mill, who used to have on the
show all the time. You know, he passed away last year,
(14:02):
but his son Alex de Mill is continuing the series.
The great bestselling novels, and if you're in Oyster Bay tonight,
Alex de Mill it's actually the last book he did
with his father, Nelson Demill. There'll be at Theodore Books
tonight Alex de Mill seven o'clock book signing if you
want to meet him. That's a beautiful there's not a
(14:23):
lot of great bookstores anymore, but in beautiful Oyster Bay,
where you've got Cooper Bluff, you got Wild Honey, you
got all these great places. You got Theodore Roosevelt's House,
one of the last great bookstores, Theodore's books. But tonight
at seven, if you want to see Alex de Mill,
he'll be there. We'll take some calls. Next eight hundred
three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
(14:44):
hundred three two one zero seven ten
