Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, you're listening to the Mark Simone Show on War Well, hey,
a week away from Thanksgiving. We got a lot to
get to this hour. I'm looking at my Instagram and
here's my friend Brooke Singman, who's a great Fox News reporter,
(00:21):
and she's going down to Washington for something. She's taken
the Amtrak. Look at this picture. I thought it was ai,
but it's real. Apparently she gets on amtraks. She got
the picture up and look who she's sitting next to,
Joe Biden. Just by coincidence, she gets on an Amtrak,
takes her seat, and there's Joe Biden, the former president.
(00:43):
You know, every former president has got lemos and SUVs,
and he's private jets and they're traveling all over the
place with a huge entourage. In detail, this is the
only former president who's been spotted numerous times just on
a regular seat on an airplane, take an amtrak. You know,
normally the reason you get all these trappings is the
(01:04):
ex president. Every billionaire is still your great friend. They'll
lend you a plane anytime you want to go anywhere.
Apparently Joe Biden has none of that. All the big
Democratic all these big billionaire donors. They're mostly Democrats. They've
all turned their back on Biden. If Obama wants to
go anywhere, they line up to hand them a private
jet to take them. They're honored to give them the
(01:26):
jet to take them. Joe Biden take the train. There
he is on the train on an Amtrak. Looks like
a very crowded car. It doesn't even have his own
little section or his own little row. Sitting next to
Brooks Sigman, who's a great reporter. But check out her Instagram.
It's a pretty funny picture. Hey, today is the Dick
(01:48):
Cheney funeral. In fact, as we speak, it's taking place.
Not that exciting. I mean, you know, his grandchildren are speaking.
It's not that I mean, he's a former vice president.
But it's not like the greatest speakers in the world
will be there. It's you know, this wacko daughter is
going to speak, His grandchildren will speak. But look at this,
(02:10):
I'm looking at the TV screens. Fox is not carrying it,
but MSNBC or whatever they're calling it now and CNN
are taking this live, the Dick Cheney funeral. They're acting
like this great head of state has passed away and
this very important funeral needs live coverage. This is the
Dick Cheney they hated. Nobody was hated more by these people,
(02:33):
these same networks than Dick Cheney. You remember, all they
did was yell and scream he's a war criminal, remember
Abu Gharab and waterboarding, and they wanted him on trial
in the Hague. Remember they made up a whole fake
Haliburton scandal about him. They called this guy every name.
When they used to call him Darth Vader, they used
(02:55):
to call him war criminal, nazi, Dick Cheney, he's the
most hated man in the world. But because he came
out so strongly against Donald Trump, because he attacked Donald Trump,
called him an existential threat all that. So now they
love Dick Cheney. They love Dick Cheney, and it's crazy.
What's your name, Liz Cheney, that crazy whack job daughter
(03:17):
of his. So they'll actually be speaking. George W. Bush
is going to speak. The former vice presidents are there,
Mike Pence is there, Biden is there as a former
president and as a Cheney of course was vice president.
So all the vice presidents show up. Now JD. Vance
is not there and President Trump is not there, but
(03:39):
they both point out they were not invited, and you
might think, well, they should go, But if they're so
hated by the Cheneys, if every Cheney has called them
Nazis and Hitler and the worst people on earth. Cheney
actually said that the greatest threat to him, Well obviously
wouldn't want him at the funeral, so be inappropriate for
them to go. But the funeral take place. Look at
(04:00):
this msn what it's called ms now, and it's just
endless live coverage of this boring, boring funeral. And they
wonder why Fox gets much bigger ratings that they're they're
continuing with normal programming. But it's the National Cathedral, Washington,
d C, CNN ms now. You know it's interesting. MSNBC
(04:25):
was forced to remove NBC from the name. NBC took
the name out it's now ms now, but CNBC, which
they spun off, is allowed to keep the name. They're
not embarrassed to have their NBC name in the CNBC name.
Interesting little point. If you like sushi. You know that
place in the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle, Uh,
(04:49):
it's called Masa Masa. That's like the number one highest
rated Michelin Star three Michelin Star Japanese in New York.
There's new place that open right across from Bryant Park.
It's on forty first Street. It's just got three Michelin Stars,
making it the number one sushi place in America. It's
(05:12):
only got a handful of seats and they only do
two seatings. Now, before you go rushing over there, we
all love sushi. But before you go rushing over there,
it's seven hundred and fifty dollars a person. They should
have a team of psychiatrists. Dude, just examine your head
(05:34):
before you go in there and pay seven hundred and
fifty dollars. But the Michelin reviewers say it's not just
a dining, it's a religious experience. It's unlike anything. Seven
hundred and fifty per head. Now that does not include
drinks and tax. So figure one thousand dollars a person,
which tops the other one, Maza, which was always the
(05:56):
highest rated. That's nine hundred of person. Well, actually that's
before drinks, and so that'll end up being twelve hundred
a person. Got you ever eat this place? Masa, it's
the other one there is per se. It's like forty
seven courses. It takes you like three and a half
hours to eat. There you about a half hour forty
(06:17):
minutes into it. You will want to commit suicide. You
will want to kill yourself. It's the most boring, awful dinner.
The food is mesmer. You can't believe what it looks like.
You don't know what the hell you're eating. If somebody
asked you what would you have, you can't even tell them.
It's the most complicated, ridiculous food in the world. I
(06:37):
went there once with a I better not mention his name,
a governor who a big donor has taken us. And
this is a kind of a blue collar all American governor,
and we're eating this crap, and we're on course like
number eleven. And I got to go to the men's
room and he said, where are you going? I said,
(06:57):
the men's room. He said, my security guys are out there.
Tell him to get me out of here. And I said, well,
how are they going to get you? He goes, just
tell him they'll get me out of here. So I
go to the men's room. I tell him he wants
to get out of here. So I go back and
I sit down. Five minutes later, the security guys come
running in. It's not a phone, it's like a big
walkie talkie thing, like a satellite phone. They go, Governor,
(07:19):
it's an emergency. It's an emergency. You must take this call.
And he takes some fake call and he goes, I
gotta go, I've got to go, and he runs out,
and as he's running, I go, you're not going to
take me with you. But I was stuck there for
this thing. It was painful, absolutely painful. So save yourself.
Nine hundred dollars a person, seven hundred dollars a person.
(07:39):
It has three Michelin stars, but only these European Michelin
star reviewers would know what the hell they were eating,
So just forget about it. Kathy Hokeel making a big
announcement that shoplifting is down thirteen percent in New York City.
Now I don't understand. Nobody understands the story. She's taking
credit if it is indeed, well, yeah, actually NYPD data
(08:03):
shows shoplifting down thirteen point five percent. Of course, it's
up ten thousand percent since the crime wave that Cuomo created.
You know, Cuomo started this no bail, no jail. Then
you got the crazy Alvin Bragg who will not prosecute shoplifters.
So went up like thousands of percent. So to be
down thirteen point five percents not a big help, but
(08:25):
it's a little it's a start. But that's NYPD data. Now, well,
how could Hokel claim credit for this. She's claiming that
she put together a task force of one hundred officers
state law enforcement to crack down on shoplifting. I'm in
drugstores all day long. I've never seen state troopers in there.
(08:46):
I've never seen any of this. I don't know of
anybody being arrested in New York by a state trooper.
But she's claiming credit for this. I would think it's
more the NYPD finally getting something done about it. You
still have you know, you go to a drug store,
everything's locked up. Shampoo used to be, the razor blades
(09:07):
were locked up. Now it's aspirin, anything and everything. And
it says ring the bell for the manager to open
the and you ring and ring, and it's going to
have to wait ten minutes. It's the best thing that
ever happened for Amazon, so much easier. You just go
on Amazon order whatever you want. It's there the next day. Hey,
we're talking about Epstein. The Democrats are going to have
(09:29):
huge problems with Epstein. Stuff is going to come out
about the close ties of all these Democrats to Epstein
right up until the end, right up until the moment
he killed himself. He was a big, big donor to Democrats.
Now here's another thing that's going to come out. You
know when people say the Clintons are going to have
a big problem, well they really are, not, just for
(09:51):
their close association with Epstein, but it's going to come
out that Epstein was one of the fat and the
financier of the Clinton Foundation. You know, Hillary and Bill
Clinton always brag about this Clinton Foundation, the Clinton Global Initiative. Well,
way till everybody finds out it was Epstein that financed
(10:12):
it and got it going. In fact, in two thousand
and seven, when Epstein was on trial, his attorneys in
court presented this evidence that he founded the Clinton Global Initiative,
that he founded the Clinton Foundation. In fact, it was
that letter, that proof that he was the guy behind
it that helped him get a good plead deal. That's
(10:34):
how you get a good deal from a judge. You
show that despite your crime, you've done important work and
community service. So they actually presented in court full documentation
that Epstein was behind the Clinton Foundation and financed its beginnings.
So the Clinton's are going to have to explain that,
(10:54):
not to mention all the visits to Epstein Island. Hillary's
going to have to explain take all the money from Epstein.
This is the other thing that'll come out. It turns
out ninety two percent of Epstein's donations were two Democrats.
Chuck Schumer took Epstein money. Hillary Clinton took lots of
Epstein money. Bill Clinton and took more than money from him.
(11:15):
All these things can come out. Katie Kurk is going
to have to explain why she was at Epstein's house
having dinner with him. She's fumbled out a few excuses
when asked about it. George Stephanopolis is going to have
to explain what he was doing at Epstein's house having
dinner with him. He was asked a couple times in
the past. He said, well, I didn't know who he was.
(11:38):
This is after he was convicted, this is after he
went to prison. He's a registered sex defender. I knew
who he was. I saw it in the papers. Do
you remember reading about this billionaire in Florida who got
arrested for underage you know, miners given him massages and
being recruited, and we all read about it. The guy
(11:59):
was victed, the guy was in prisoned for a year,
the guy was in house arrest, the guys that registered
sex offender, we all knew about it, was in the news.
George Stephanoppolis and Katie Kurk are anchor people from major
news organizations, major networks. How do they claim they didn't
know who the guy was? And when was the last
time you went to somebody's house for dinner and didn't
(12:20):
know who he was. Even if somebody invited you and
you didn't know who he was, you'd ask, well, who
is this guy? You might even google the guy. Let's
say you're a major news anchor. You don't think you
could find out who the guy was. So to claiming
did no idea who this convicted felon was that had
been in all the news just makes these two sound
like idiots. Stefanoppolis, Katie Kurk, big Epstein connection. Hey this
(12:45):
a new Ken Burns documentary PBS on the American Revolution.
Well that sounds interesting. Accept it's PBS accept it's ken Burns.
Here's one reviewer who tried to watch it and had
to turn it off. He said, less than three minutes
into the ken Burns documentary on the American Revolution, all
(13:06):
I got was white people are bad. Native Americans had
a century old democracy before we arrived and ruined it.
Benjamin Franklin copied his whole American blueprint from Native Americans.
And now this guy just turned it off and couldn't
watch it anymore. And PBS wonders, how did they Why
did they get their financing cut? Because they're worse than
(13:28):
Jimmy Kimble. It's the most slanted, distorted news organization in
the world. No wonder they got their their funding cut.
Kevin Spacey, you know, he was canceled with all that
sex stuff. I think most of it's been cleared up.
I think most of the charges he's gotten out of
(13:49):
he's appealed. But he says he's tough to get work.
He has to go all over the place looking for work.
He said his financial situation is very bad. You know,
he probably spent millions of legal fees and all of that,
not to mention not working for six seven years or
whatever it is. But he said he's now living in hotels, airbnbs.
(14:09):
He has to just go wherever he can find work.
But even if you get all the charges dropped, even
if you try to come back, you can't look at
him the same anymore. What was the great show he
was on where he played Frank Underwood blanking out? What
do you know? The show? I just can't watch it anymore.
It's just not the same. Hey, Trump Media, that's the company,
(14:32):
the public company Donald Trump and the family have ticker
symbol as DJT. A lot of the money's in bitcoin, crypto,
Trump Media and Technology Group, big, big, big part of
it is invested in crypto. Well, you know, bitcoin took
a huge drop, Crypto took a huge drop. The Trump
stock lost five billion this year, five billion, nearly seventy
(14:58):
percent in value, thirty four percent in just the last month.
But it's mostly the huge plunge in crypto, in bitcoin.
But you know, every time we see those huge plunges
in bitcoin, everybody goes aha, See I told you it's
no good. But then the next thing you know, it
goes way up in the next few years, and you
wish you had bought the dip. So I'm not telling
(15:20):
you what to do. I don't know, I have no idea. Hey,
Jimmy fail in a few minutes. 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
