Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome back to the Mark Simone Show. Well, as I mentioned,
FBI has arrested four terrorists, a radical pro Palestinian terrorists.
They're accused of plotting New Year's Eve bombings. Now it's
La it's not New York. Identified as members of the
(00:25):
Turtle Island Liberation Front, whatever the hell that is. But
they're Muslim terrorists. They're radical pro Palestinestinian extremist group plotting
New Year's Eve bombings for Los Angeles. The FBI has
caught them. You know, Paris is not really Paris anymore.
They same problem, open borders, illegals flooding in and these
(00:49):
migrants have created terror all over Paris. And every year
in Paris they have an incredible New Year's Eve celebration
on the Chanz Oflyse. It's like our Times Square kind
of celebration where like a million people will show up.
They've canceled this year's celebration. Usually a million people show up.
They have concerts and all this stuff. They've canceled because
(01:10):
of the migrant crisis in Paris. There's too much crime,
too much terrorism. And instead they're going to have a
pre recorded video that people can watch from home. They
don't want people showing up, so they've had to cancel
their New Year's Eve traditions in Paris. They'll still have
the fireworks over the Arcta Triumph when it's midnight, but
(01:33):
they don't want anybody there in person enough to watch
that on television as well, so it's just not the same.
The Chans of Lyse, the most beautiful boulevard in the world,
because of all the illegals, all the illegal migrants, has
been a center of violence lately. Throngs of young Muslim
(01:55):
migrants streaming in at night looking for trouble, looting stores,
brawling with Parisians and police. This is Paris, it's not
the parish you once knew. Again illegal migrants have destroyed Paris.
It's just awful. So nothing new on Rob Reiner since
the last hour. At some point there'll be a press
(02:18):
conference with the LA Police and they'll announce things. But
remember it's three hours earlier there, so I imagine that
press conference won't happen for another hour or two. What
we do know is it looks like his son stabbed
him and his wife slit their throats. The son, who's
just a very, very very troubled kid years of drugs, alcohol,
(02:40):
mental craziness, homeless, has been taken into custody. He's thirty two.
Reiner has three kids with the wife, but with his
previous wife, his first wife, Penny Marshall, he had a
daughter and the daughter lived on the property in the
guest house. Well heard incredible arguing, screaming, and at some
(03:03):
point went over to check and found them both dead.
Called police and they she said, you got to look
at him. She said she believed it was him the sun.
So they've taken him into custody. We'll see what happens there.
Brown University. They did have a shooter in custody, but
(03:23):
they've since let him go. It's the Providence police department.
We love Providence, but it's not the sharpest police department
in the world. And we'll see. And now again it
may not be anti semitism. If this could be an
anti Republican shooting, it looks like this small group of
people all they were also the conservative group on campus.
(03:44):
One of the people shot, the student was the head
of the Republican club there. So we'll see what it
turns out to be. But the Rob Reiner situation, that's
Brentwood and Brentwood is actually part of Los Angeles, but
they try to act they're a suburb. They don't really
want to be part of Los Angeles. They formed their
own town council, they have their own little police department,
(04:06):
but Brentwood is a part of Los Angeles, so it's
really Lapd in charge of that Brentwood. Yeah, where Oj
stabbed the wife and Ron Goldman, it's only a mile
and a half from Rob Reiner's house. So if you
live in the middle there, twice you've had these awful
stabbings for people's throats were slit on either side of you.
It's a terrible situation. What else Frank Sinatra number one
(04:34):
on the Billboard charts? How about that Frank Sinatra. It's
actually nineteen sixty one. He recorded I've Got My Love
to Keep Me Warm. It's a great song and it's
sort of become a Christmas song and it gets played
at Christmas time. So Pentatonics got the master tapes where
(04:55):
you can isolate just Sinatra's voice. His recording has as
a beautiful big band, you know, Johnny Mandel arrangement, but
they isolated just his voice, took just his voice and
they did a whole new arrangement, a whole new single,
and it's It was number one last week on the
Adult Contemporary chart. They still have that Adult Contemporary chart.
(05:19):
So it's the first number one hit single for Frank
Sinatra since nineteen sixty seven. No, it wasn't something stupid.
That was nineteen sixty six. Sinatra's last number one was
The World We Knew. It was a hit single Forgotten
About Go back and listen. That's pretty good Sinatra single,
(05:41):
The World We Knew, and that was a number one
hit single for him September of sixty seven, So that
was his last hit single, That's I Think me Yeah.
It's the all time record fifty eight years in between
number one hits. The previous record had been Elton John
who went twenty three years between hit singles. Now one
(06:05):
was one of his own hits, and then the other
one was one of those duet kind of deals with
Ed Sheeran and again a Christmas song. So Sinatra's a
new record fifty eight years between number one hits. And
also this has got to be the all time record.
Sinatra's first number one hit single was nineteen forty with
Tommy Dorsey. I'll Never smile again. He was his first
(06:27):
hit single. It's kind of the song that really put
him on the map. So nineteen forty to now is
eighty five years. So that's an all time record. A
guy has a hit single number one on the chart
and he's number one in the chart eighty five years later.
This first time that's ever happened. Sinatra, I remember, had
the longest career of anybody. When he started singing. Herbert
(06:50):
Hoover was president. When he stopped singing, Bill Clinton was president.
That's a long long career. He also made, let me
think now, about one hundred albums. That's not the record,
Ella Fitzgerald one hundred and sixty six albums, Bing Crosby
two hundred albums, or the equivalent of two hundred albums.
(07:12):
Crosby holds the record for the largest output recording wise.
So you got to hey, I forgot to mention this.
You got the Epstein photos that came out. Remember on Friday,
they tried to you know, they're always trying to get Trump,
so they put out a photo of him with six girls,
young girls, you know, with the face was blacked out. Well,
(07:35):
it turned out this is the Democrats on the House Committee.
Look at this not only with young girls, there's six
of them surrounding him. Well, it turns out the whole
thing was fake. You can always count on Democrats MSNBC, CNN,
New York Times to fake everything because somebody came up
with the original picture without the faces blacked out. And
(07:56):
they're clearly not young girls. They're adults, all adults. And
it turns out it was a beauty pageant being held
at mar A Lago. They were all professional adult models.
It was a big promotion for Hawaiian Tropic Sun Tan lotion.
The party and the beauty pageant held at mar Alago.
(08:17):
Trump shows up, takes a picture with all the models
in the beauty pageant, the fashion show, and that's what
it was. It wasn't young girls. The picture totally fake,
ridiculous And that tells you all you need to know
about Democrats and Epstein and all this stuff. So, oh,
Saturday had the Army Navy game. President Trump tradition now
(08:41):
comes to the Army Navy game, walks on the field,
standing ovation the crowd, cheering USA USA. You never hear
that with a democratic president. They don't like to cheer that.
But it was very upsetting. The Democrats watching this very upsetting.
They don't like any of this. They don't like football,
they don't like cheering and chanting USA, they don't like
(09:03):
any of this stuff. So it really really upset them.
Harry to term of this last hour. Tourists are all
over in New York. If you don't think New York's
doing well, try to get a hotel room right now
in New York City. It is impossible. It's impossible. There's
no hotel rooms left in New York City. Everybody wants
to come here, even with Mom Donnie elected. Tourists are
(09:23):
coming in unbelievable numbers. Also, real estate sales are very,
very very strong. Don't listen to this. Everybody's leaving New York.
Nine hundred and seventy six closings real estate closings in
the last month. Now, if you go to the super
high end departments, there were nine closings last week, contracts closings.
(09:44):
That's a big number. That's a lot for one week.
So sales are really strong, and the rental market is
going crazy. You're gonna have a lot of trouble renting
apartment right now in New York. People are moving in
like crazy rentals. That's a good indicator to study. Rentals
are the people first coming to New York, first coming here,
(10:06):
and many rentals next year turn into buyers. They'll come here,
rent for a year or two and then they'll start buying.
But rentals are through the roof. It's almost impossible to
rent anything right now. So New York doing very very
well the Christmas season. Tourists are everywhere. It's Christmas, and
I remember you may be gift shopping, but for yourself.
(10:30):
Don't buy anything right now. Don't buy anything. Don't buy
any clothes right now. Don't buy anything right now, because
right after Christmas, everything's going to be half price. So
I become like Robert de Niro and Goodfellows yelling anyway,
don't buy anything. What I say, don't what I tell you.
Don't buy anything? Did I tell you? Don't buy anything
right now? It's all going to be half pricing. If
(10:51):
you wait till after New Year's it's going to be
seventy five percent off. So don't buy anything right now. Hey,
you know all the great supermarkets, Wegmans, they're all over
the place, Whole Foods. Whole Food's not so much anymore.
Quality went down there once Bezos took it over I
think deliberately. Uh, but remember Whole Foods. All of a
(11:13):
sudden it went back to I guess it was the nineties.
All of a sudden Whole Foods opened everywhere is an
unbelievable supermarket beyond anything you'd ever seen. Now, they were
from Texas. It was a Texas supermarket. They opened a couple,
then they went national. They became huge. And Wegmans. I
forget where they're from. They're from someplace Wegmans Colorado or something.
(11:33):
I don't know, but Wegmans that were very good. Then
they opened a couple. Next thing you know, they went national.
Now when you get a Wegman's, it's exciting. There's one
in New Jersey's had them for a while, but you
just got one couple of years ago in Westchester. You
just got one in Connecticut. So they've exploded. They're all
over America. Now. The next one to watch out for
(11:54):
is Uncle Giuseppees. Uncle Giuseppes is going to just remember
you heard it here first. This is gonna be the
big national phenomenon. If you live in Long Island, you
don't even me to tell you about Uncle Giuseppes. There's
a bunch of them all over Long Island. There's spectacular.
It's like the Italian Wegmans. Lots of Italian stuff, but
the prepared foods everything. So there's a big article in
(12:15):
the paper today about Uncle Giuseppe's going all out for Christmas.
Not just decorations like crazy all over their stores. But
they got carolers, they got singers singing Christmas songs right
in the store. They're all over Long Island. The best
one's Melville. I think that's where the family lives. Great,
great family, very smart people that run this. So there's
(12:36):
one in not a big one, but there's a smaller
one in Yorktown Heights. There's a bunch of them. I
think they're all over Long I think there's one in
New Jersey. But watch this will be the next big
national chain. They got twelve of them already. I see
them looking for other locations. But they're phenomenal, So keep
an eye on them. They'll be the next big national
(12:56):
chain that explodes everywhere. So when hey, once again, I
went to a million Christmas parties yesterday, people everybody will
say to you, what's gonna happen to midterms. Who's going
to win the mid terms? How are we going to
do in the midterms, What's going to happen that. Don't
listen to anybody right now. This is impossible to predict.
If you said, who's going to be in the super Bowl,
(13:18):
maybe a good sports expert could give you a good guess.
But if you said to the greatest sports expert, who's
going to win the super Bowl in twenty twenty seven,
they can't tell you. There's no way to know that now.
Same thing with the midterms. Don't listen to anybody's prediction
right now. It means absolutely nothing. Everything is going to
(13:38):
change six months from now. You'll be in a whole
different world landscape. These predictions mean absolutely nothing. Same thing is,
when they tell you who's going to win in twenty
twenty eight, who's going to run? You can't tell now.
It's impossible. Now, if you're watching fake news, you'll see
all these polls, all these studies that the Democrats are
(14:00):
definitely going to win the mid terms. Look at this poll,
that poll, look at this day. Now. The reason they
do this on fake news show you that Democrats are
on track to win and mid The reason they do
that it's for fundraising. That's the only important thing right now,
lots of fundraising. If you put out all this nonsense
showing you're going to win, you have a much better
(14:20):
shot at fundraising. Donors will give like crazy if they
think you're going to win. So don't fall for all that.
It's just propaganda right now for fundraising purposes. Don't take it,
don't take it too seriously. And Gavin Newsom twenty twenty, so, well,
he's clearly way out in the front. And you remember
he's a big, big star right now on the scene
with all of his tweeting and instagram and posting and
(14:44):
podcasting all that. Suff he's quite a flamboyant guy. He's
attacking Trump like crazy. He's the you know, the star
right now. But there's an old rule in politics, especially
democratic politics, there's candidates you want to date, and there's
candidates you want to marry. So sometimes the flashy guy
with the outrageous comments, it's like a it's like a
(15:07):
woman you date, but you wouldn't marry her. So it's
the same thing with voters right now. They'll date him
because he's funny and flashy and outrageous. Doesn't mean they
want to marry. It doesn't mean they'll vote for him.
So just remember 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
