Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Mark Simone Show on seven to ten wor Hey,
it's Friday, the week before Thanksgiving. I just texted doctor
Keith Ablow. He'll come on with us Monday. He's one
of the great psychiatrists in the world, psychologists. He's done
(00:21):
incredible work on Trump derangement syndrome. What causes it exactly?
What is it about this guy that sets you crazy
liberals off so much? We'll get to that. Also, he'd
give us some advice on if you're going to Thanksgiving dinner,
how not to fight with your relatives, how not to
get crazy. You know, it's if you do this for
(00:43):
a living, this kind of stuff, you don't ever talk
about it off the year. You don't sit there and
discuss politics with a bunch of people that you know
are basically just amateurs, and you don't care what anybody
thinks him. It's fine. I mean, you know, people can
if I've been at the part or something. Trump is
the worst Nightmary. He's a threat to democracy. I can't
(01:04):
sleep at night. I just go yeah, me too, and
just walk away. Don't don't even argue it, don't even
bother with them. I love the New York Yankees and
sometimes You'll be standing there and say, yank terrible. I
love the Mets. I don't get mad. It's fine. You
love the Mets that you hate Trump, you love FID Fine,
(01:24):
don't just don't. Don't even worry about it. But we'll
talk to a professional, a real expert, on Monday about
what to do about that at at a Thanksgiving dinner.
Now here's the latest Trump controversy. These handful of people
in Congress put out this video telling the troops not
to listen to orders if they think they're not legal.
(01:47):
If you're in the military, if you're a military person,
if you're there and the commander gives you an order,
if you don't feel it's legal. This is people in Congress,
men and women in Congress. Don't follow it. Don't follow
any order you think is illegal, and we'll have your back.
It's a ridiculous video to put out. This is horrible.
(02:10):
First of all, you're, you know, a soldier servant in
the middle of something. You're not a lawyer. You know
you can't actually evaluate correctly is this legal or illegal?
And you never tell the troops to disobey orders. It's
just absolutely ridiculous. So why would they do such a
dumb thing. Well, uh, probably they were trolling Trump. This
(02:32):
is the age of a tweeting and trolling and that
kind of stuff. So they're probably trying to get into
his head or get under his skin or make him overreact,
and he did. He overreacted like crazy. I mean, he
should have attacked him, really attacked him for this. But
he said, this is treason. This is sedition. Actually, if
(02:52):
you tell our military to disobey orders. He's got a
point there, it's treason, it's editioned. But he did point
out sedition is treason is punishable by death. Okay, well
that's the law. But then they're claiming he called for
their execution. He told the said they should we should
(03:14):
hang them. He didn't say that, but he what he
did was wrong. There was somebody that tweeted that. It
said hang them. George Washington would have which is true.
George Washington would hang you for that. But Trump, we
retweeted it. You know, if the president United States, you're
not supposed to retweet that kind of stuff. So Trump
was wrong, shouldn't have done it, went too far, but
(03:39):
that's Trump, He's done it before. I can't honestly tell
you if he does it deliberately, or if he just
gets carried away, or he has this thing about being
the main story in every news cycle every day. He
wants to be the lead story on the news every day.
(03:59):
He wants to put on any news talk channel, Fox,
MSN and be the lead story any day. So you're
not supposed to do that. You know, first role of
publicity when you need it. You know, if you're a
big star and your new movies coming out, suddenly you're everywhere.
You're on every show, You're on every TV show, you're
in the paper magazine, you're everywhere for two three weeks
(04:23):
plugging your new book, your new movie, and then you
go away for a couple of months, and then you
come back. You know, when Taylor Swift needs some publicity.
It's all you see is Taylor Swift for a week,
and then there'll be a month where you don't. He's
supposed to go away for a while. Trump doesn't believe
that theory. He thinks do it every day. He's been
doing it every day for forty years. So that's one
(04:43):
reason he goes over the top with these with these
crazy things, and they're all over the place, yelling and
screaming he was calling for their execution. Then you get
the quiet to quiet Mike Johnson, who's got to jump
into this.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Sometimes he uses rhetoric. Okay, but do any of you
agree that that's appropriate, that they should be telling young
members of the military to defy orders. You should think
about the implications of that. The President's trying to make
a point. I think he made the point. I'm glad
you're all covering it. You need to criticize and ask
the questions of the Democrats, not the Republicans.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
Okay, yeah, so listen, he was wrong, but they were
wrong too. Everybody was wrong in this. Caroline Levitt had
to respond.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They are literally saying to one point three million active
duty service members not to defy the chain of command,
not to follow lawful orders, every single refuse an illegal order,
because they're suggesting, they're suggesting, Nancy, that the president has
given illegal orders, which he has not. Every single order
(05:44):
that is given to this United States Military by this
Commander in chief and through this command chain of command,
through the Secretary of War is lawful.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah. These kindless people were absolutely wrong to do this.
Their claim is, well, we only meant if there's an
illegal order. Well, nobody's ever seen an illegal order. And
here's the real key to this. They've been running around
doing TV shows. That's the whole reason they did this,
to give themselves a lot of publicity, and all of
a sudden, they're all over TV, and a couple of
times on TV they said, well, when you say an
(06:13):
illegal order, give us an example of what you were
talking about. And they couldn't think of an example. It's
never happened. Nobody could point to anything they when asked
about it. When they were asked about it, they could
not give an answer that question. They couldn't point to
any illegal order. So nobody knows exactly what the hell
they were talking about. Hey, Jasmine Crockett, this an absolute
(06:36):
bumbling idiot. Is the one that claimed Jeffrey Epstein donated
to Lee Zelden, Well, it's not true. It's a different
Jeffrey Epstein. It's a doctor in Long Island, and at
the time of the donation, the real Jeffrey Epstein had
been dead for like four years, so obviously he's dead,
he's not donating. When she was asked about.
Speaker 4 (06:58):
It, I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein.
My team what they did is they googled, And that
is specifically why I said a Jeffrey Epstein. Unlike Republicans,
I at least don't go out and just tell lies
because it was not the same one.
Speaker 5 (07:11):
That's fine.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
But when Lee Zelden had something to say, all he
had to say was it was a different jeff Jeffrey Epstein.
He admitted that he did receive donations from a Jeffrey Epstein,
So at least I wasn't trying to mislead people.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, she's s getting awards now for what is possibly
the dumbest excuse anybody's ever heard. It was one incredibly
stupid excuse. I think this is where she originally said.
Speaker 5 (07:34):
It folks who also took money from somebody named Jeffrey Epstein.
As I had my team dig in very quickly, met Romney,
the NRCC, Lee Zelden, George Bush.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Yeah, of course it's a different Jeffrey Epstein. But she
was asked about it.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
Do you want to correct the record on the people,
and I never said that it was that Jeffrey Epstein.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yes you did. It's an incredibly stupid excuse, absolutely ridiculous. Hey,
when it comes to exercise, Now you think you're supposed
to be like sweating in the gym. You're supposed to
be out there running three miles. You're supposed to be sweating.
And well, there's all kinds of new studies out now
(08:21):
showing that the best exercise what they call zone zero exercise.
It's more gentle, slower, as long as it's just real exercise,
as long as you're walking. A lot of people just
try walking now instead of running. But if you do
a lot of walking, you're supposed to do ten thousand steps,
you try to do fifteen thousand every day. But that
kind of stuff, and there's all kinds of new studies,
(08:42):
scientific studies showing that can be just as beneficial and
in some ways more beneficial, especially when you get older,
that the most important exercise is what they call zone zero.
It's gentle exercise, stretching, walking, light yoga or just like gardening,
that kind of stuff. Movement, lots of moves. You don't
have to be sweating, just constant movement. It improves circulation,
(09:06):
regulates blood sugar, lowers cardiovascular risk, eases stress, supports mental health.
So you know, go to the gym. Now, there's some
studies say well, once a week or once all you
got to go do some real exercise in a gym.
But most important thing daily is just gentle exercise. Whether
it's just a lot of walking or stretching, it's very
(09:26):
very important. Movement doesn't have to be hard. According to study,
gentle regular activity still counts and can give you major
health benefits. Also, you'll lose weight doing that. You won't
have to take that stupid ozempic. There's one side effect
after another coming from that ozempic. You know this ozempic
(09:47):
face where you just your face looks older, your skin
gets droopy. Another problem now dentists reporting ozempic teeth. The
side effects of not just ozempic, but all those g
LP injections can lead to dry mouth. There's an active
ingredient that affects the salivary glands that'll give you the
(10:09):
dry mouth, and that causes all kinds of problems with
your gums and your teeth. The medications also cause people
to drink less water. They'll be less thirsty, so this
increases the risk of cavities, gum disease. You know who
loves ozempic. Of these plastic surgeons because they got to
fix the skin that ozempic face and now dentists love it,
(10:31):
creating more work for them. Hey, the TV show Boston Blue, well,
I've been watching it. It's pretty good. It's like I
think the fifth episode is on tonight. It's instead of
Blue Bloods. You know, for fourteen years it was Blue
Bloods every Friday night at ten. I missed that show.
Love watching the reruns. But it's Boston Blue. It's Danny
(10:54):
Reagan now in Boston. It's pretty good. It's not Blue Bloods,
but it's pretty good. I do watch it now every week.
But in one time, Bridget moynihan made a cameo from
the original Blue blood series. What about Tom Selick? Will
he do it well? He was asked the question sounds
like no. He was pretty blunt, pretty blunt. He seems
(11:17):
kind of angry. Selik is not happy that CBS canceled
Blue Bloods, and he said, I think it's partly my
lot in life to make sure Blue Bloods has its
place in television history. But I don't think it's my
lot in life to keep playing Frank Reagan. He makes
(11:37):
it pretty clear he's not interested in doing Boston Blue,
and he can't explain he's still mad. It was one
of CBS's top top shows, one of like the five
highest rated shows in television. He can't believe they canceled it,
he says, I still don't know why CBS did it.
Actually points out, if you get rid of football, he
(11:57):
was the sixth most popular series in all of television.
I don't know where my next job will be, he said,
I'd love a good western. I want to sit on
a horse again. What does anybody want to do a western?
They look terrible and they don't want to see in
a western. I love to do another comedy. He's very
good in comedy. Remember Friends and Hey, Remember he was
on Boston Legal for a while. He was pretty good
(12:19):
on that show. But why did CBS cancelor? Because nobody
watches TV anymore. It's people don't watch network television. They're
all streaming and all that stuff, but they're not watching ABC,
CBS or NBC much anymore. And you can't afford to
do these really expensive shows. You know, when you do
a game show, it doesn't cost much money. You know,
(12:42):
you build one set that last year for seven years,
just that one set, and you don't have to pay
the people very much, even the celebrities to come on
a game show. It's like a late night talk show.
You're paying them basically scale. It doesn't cost you anything.
You do Blue Bloods or any drama or Law and Order,
you're spending a fortune. And you got to make a
movie every week, you gotta spend millions out in the
(13:03):
street car chases. You ever see them film a movie
out in the street. It's fifty trucks, it's twenty seven trailers,
it's one hundred people out there. You know what that
costs to do that. That's not one scene. You got
to do like thirty seven scenes for each show. So
it costs a fortune. That's why you don't see Blue
Bloods anymore, Boston Blue. It's it's a cheaper version. Oh,
(13:25):
they still got to do those chasings, but they're smaller
chase scenes and you don't have to pay a whole cast.
Remember Blue Blood's had like eight stars all getting seven figures.
This is one star maybe getting seven figures. And that's
about it. So today's the meeting Mom, Donnie and Trump.
It'll take place at three o'clock today. They'll meet in
(13:47):
the Oval Office. It's closed to the press. Now here's
the deal. President Trump knows if they open it to
the press and there's video and pictures, it will elevate
Mom Donnie's status in the world. You know, when you're
sitting on that yellow couch in the Oval Office talking
to the President, it gives you a gravitas. There you
(14:09):
are on the couch where the world leaders sit, talking
to the President of the United States. So those photographs
will really really elevate the status of Mam Donni. So
it's closed to the press. However, at the end of
the meeting, President can decide, depending on how it goes,
he can decide to bring the press in to take
(14:29):
those pictures or do that video. They can even go
live on TV. So at the end of the meeting,
depending on what happens, the President will decide if he
wants to bring them in, and it will it will
make Mam Donnie look important. Now, the other thing you
got to watch for is who else is in the room,
(14:49):
Mam Donnie. And the President always tells you when you
come to me, when he invites you to a meeting,
he'll say, bring whoever you want. Says that very often,
So Mam Donnie can bring his team. But h if
he looks to the you know, he'll be on this couch.
If he looks over at the other couch and it's J.
D Vance and Steven Miller and Tom Holman, I don't
think Mom done will like that. So I don't know
(15:10):
what's going to happen, but we'll find out. At three
o'clock today, 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
