Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Mark Simon Show, delivering the news before it is
on seven to ten wr.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, it's today, Thursday, it's one week until Christmas is
a week from today. Unbelievable. It's almost time for New
Year's resolutions. It's almost time for a look back of
best of twenty twenty five? Can you believe it? The
year just flown by? So Nick Reiner was in court
(00:29):
with what tell that was he had on? It's they
call it a suicide vest. It's a weird blue thing
covering up. He had shackles on, and obviously a very
very dangerous, troubled guy. He's being held in isolation. He's
on suicide watch. They brought him into court basically only
(00:50):
said one thing. He only spoke once when the judge
said they agreed to delay until January, agent and all
that stuff, and then she said are you okay with
giving up your right to swift try? And he said, yes,
you're on it. It's the only thing he said in
court that day. This attorney has Jackson is one of
(01:12):
the top top top Los Angeles criminal attorneys. Handled a
lot of big, big cases. It said, if you want
to hire this guy on a murder charge and get
defended by him. It's about a million bucks, so I
would assume the family is paying for it. Here's the attorney. Afterwards,
You're set.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
For January seventh, foreign arraignments. That's the next court date.
And that's all I have to say at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, so the kid will be locked up until then, dangerous,
dangerous kid.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We asked that during this process you allow the system
to move forward in the way that it was designed
to move forward, not with a rush to judgment, not
with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity
and with the respect that this system and this process
and that the family deserves.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Very well said, but I got to be honest, I'm
going to rush the judgment on this one. I am
going to definitely jump the conclusions with this deranged psycho kid.
I will rush the judgment on this one. But that's
what you do for a million dollars. You sound good
and you make these speeches, but I really don't know
how they I mean, you know what, I would assume
(02:24):
in the end, they're going to have DNA evidence that
will absolutely convict this kid through a hard DNA evidence.
Although it is Los Angeles where they have screwed up
more cases. You remember the OJ case was lost because
they didn't properly secure the evidence. Remember they had the
blood all over them. Do you remember OJ. He had
blood on his golf hand glove, He had blood on
(02:46):
his socks, He had blood in his bedroom, he had
blood in his washing machine. The blood was every place,
but they collected it and then they didn't remember. They
didn't secure the evidence properly. Remember that detective was his name,
Van Adder. How's that for a memory? Had to admit
under oath that he put it the test tube with
the blood, He had it in his sport coat pocket
for a week before he vouchered or something like that.
(03:08):
They just screwed it up. So anything can happen in
Los Angeles. Now, in the Brown University shooting, it turns
out this Brown University has got one really bumbling, stupid president.
Her name is I forget what her name is. But
in fact there's talking now of hauling her in front
of Congress and making you testify about how badly run
(03:29):
Brown University was. You know, I kept pointing out the
security director. I don't like his resume. He's got twenty
thirty years of school safety but you know, somewhere else
he was a director of security at a school. Somewhere else,
he was a patrolman. But on a school a security force.
You know, you'd like to get a guy from real
law enforcement, a real ex. I would hire an ex
(03:52):
NYPD captain or something like that, or somebody with some
real law enforcement experience, because if you look at Brown University,
they have no clue to what happened here. They can't
give you a video of the guy. All they got
that one video you see is somebody's ring doorbell thing
from three blocks away. What the hell kind of campus
does not have surveillance cameras everywhere? The restaurants have them everywhere.
(04:17):
We have, we got them all over the hallway. Look
around here, go down the hall, turn the corner. That's
like you got to pass twelve security cameras. How does
the university with a bunch of crazy kids, how do
they not have surveillance cameras? They just don't. This Brown
president and Brown University, her name, I forget her name,
(04:38):
and then she's blaming the gun violence, gun violence. We have.
The gun didn't cause the problem. The shooter did. And
you don't have surveillance cameras, so we can't get a
picture of the guy.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
The shooter is responsible. Horrific gun violence, took the lives
of these students and hospitalized others. And it's deeply sad
and tragic that schools across the country or targets of isolence.
Brown is no exception.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
She's gonna get hauled in front of Congress. And I've
testified on her oath. She's get three million a year,
three million a year and doesn't have a proper head
of security, does not have surveillance cameras, all the necessary equipment.
Her background, well, she's an economist. Well there you go.
An economist, not the good kind, not the Steve More kind.
(05:24):
This is like the academic economists. You know, they're just
sitting in a university somewhere and never make contact with
the real world. Oh, actually she did. Look she was
at Princeton, an economist at Princeton. Okay. New York Times
is this New York Times is the most incoonfident, bumbling
partisan disturbing details from the New York Times stunning Trump investigation,
(05:51):
Trump Epstein investigation. This is the New York Times published
its most comprehensive investigation yet to President Trump's relationship with
Jeffrey Epstein. Now, there's not much of a relationship. They
knew each other for a couple of years when he
was a first a zillionaire and he came to Pond
Beach and was throwing money around. He joined mar A Lago.
And whenever you run a resort, a hotel, a club,
(06:15):
if a new guy in town's got zillions of dollars,
then he's spending like crazy at Coortia, and he becomes
a memory of club, of coursing over. You say hello,
you go to his parties, you invite him to stuff.
Perfectly normal happens all the time. Times they had to
admit in the little fine print, all the Times found
no evidence implicating Trump in Epstein's sex trafficking crimes. But
(06:36):
but they did it so with their investigation reveals a
social and personal relationship far beyond what has been acknowledged. Now,
what are they based that, Well, they based this on
they were going through Epstein's stuff, and he had a
copy of Trump's book, The Art of the Comeback, very
good book, by the way, one of his best. It's
out of print, but it's a great book. But in
(06:59):
the book, which was nineteen ninety seven. That's how long
ago Trump knew Epstein. He broke up with him right away.
He found that the guy was creepy and got rid of him.
But in nineteen ninety seven he gave Trump a book
and he inscribed the book. He autographed it to him.
And this is the what their New York Times is
(07:20):
basing this on, that he was much closer than we think,
because he wrote in the book. Guess what he wrote
to Jeff, you are the greatest? Donald, ha ha. They
got him you are the great Well, I hate to
break it to you. I got a copy of the
Art of the Comeback from nineteen ninety seven, and guess
(07:40):
what he wrote in my book, the same thing, you
are the greatest. I hate to break it to your
New York Times. I could show you twenty letters I
have from him through the years where that's what he
writes at the end. I got a million notes from
him that he always writes you are great or you
are the greatest. It's just standard for him. It doesn't
mean anything. It shows you absolutely nothing about their relationship.
(08:03):
I mean, I could go back to the nineties where
you know, i'd m see a dinner forum or and
he'd send you a note you were a great MC,
thank you so much, and then underneath it would be type,
but underneath you would write with the big sharpie you
are the greatest Donald. It's just standard. He does that
for everybody. So of course the New York Times never
really investigates, or they would have checked that out and
(08:26):
gotten to the bottom of that and realized they had
nothing there. You remember the kiss cam at the Patriots Stadium,
the kiss cam scandal. It was Coldplay the concert and
the big CEO is out with an employee. They've gone
to a concert and that kiss cam. You know how
(08:52):
many people are in that stadium, fifty thousand, It just
zooms around and picks out somebody. What are the odds
that it would land on these two who are having
an affair, cheating, not supposed to be out there and
are holding each other arm in arm and she had
to resign. I guess he had to resign. Well, she's
finally speaking out for the first time ever. She's finally
(09:12):
speaking out, and she spoke out and gave an interview.
I'm reading the interview. I don't really know what how
she's saying. It's kind of vague, She said the sixteen
second public display of affection with her then boss left her.
She says it left me as a meme and unemployable.
She had not been able to get another job. She says,
(09:34):
what does this mean? I made a bad decision. I
had a couple of high noons and danced and acted
inappropriately with my boss while admitting he was her big
happy crush. What does that mean I made a bad
decision and had a couple of high noons. Does that
(09:54):
mean she was like Gary Cooper getting in a gunfight?
Or what does it mean? Does it mean high noons?
Does that mean in the middle of the day I
went to like a motel or something. I don't know.
I guess that's what it's supposed to mean. And it's
not nothing. I took accountability. I gave up my career
for that. That's the price I chose to pay. I
don't think she chose that. I think that's how it
ended up. But coming forward, I don't know why. I
(10:17):
guess is she going to have a book deal? Does
she want to get on the view? She says, I'm
not a celebrity. I'm just a mom from New Hampshire.
Even if I did have an affair, it's not anybody's business.
It has been like a scarlet letter. People erased anything
and everything I've accomplished in my life and achieved in
my career. This can't be the final word. Okay, I
(10:40):
guess what it is. She hasn't been able to get
a job, so this is she's gonna And she's not wrong.
You know everything else fails, go public, get a lot
of attention, so you can get a job out of it,
she said. Instead, I became a meme and unemployable. I
was the most recognized. Oh no, I was the most
maligned HR manager in HR history. Well yeah, Actually, if
(11:05):
you're the HR manager, aren't you supposed to be watching
for this kind of thing and stopping it, not doing
it yourself? Yeah? Hey, mom, Donnie. Two weeks from today,
is that New Year's Day? Yeah? Two weeks from today
takes office, the last two weeks of Eric Adams. Two
(11:26):
weeks from today, Mam Donnie is sworn in. Now. The
biggest thing everybody's worried about, obviously, is crime number two
would be these homeless camps all over the place. Uh,
here's some good news, some good news. The US attorney
Southern District, that's the most powerful US attorney's office. The
current US attorney's a guy named Jay Clayton. He's great,
(11:48):
really great Jay Clayton. He has quite a career. You know,
he was the SEC chairman in Trump's first term. Donald
Trump likes him a lot, talks to him constantly. And
j Clayton as the US attorney. You know, in the
Southern District, they're usually going after some big fraud case,
or they're going after some big corporation, some big drug
(12:09):
trafficky whatever, big big stuff. But Clayton has said he
and his office and this is good news with mom
Donney company. He said, he and his office will focus
on street crime. And they can do this. They can
do this. They can do a great job. And these
federal guys are even better. Sometimes they'll go after drugs,
(12:31):
they'll go after guns, they'll go after violence, they'll go
after all kinds of crime. Reason I say they're better.
NYPD is great. But problem with the NYPD. They'll do
a great job, but then it goes into a New
York City court, a New York City judge and New
York City jury, and you know, he goes to Alvin Bragg,
Local DA, and all these people do is let the
(12:53):
criminals back out in the street. Now, in the case
of Clayton, it's federal. It goes to a federal prosecutor
and they don't let everybody go. They'll actually lock them up.
And as Clayton said, the one thing we do know
is if you keep letting the criminals back out, you're
going to have a crime wave. If you'll lock them
up and keep them locked up, crime drops dramatically, he says,
(13:14):
we know from studies repeat violent offenders, continuous custody is
the thing that reduces crime the most. Rudy Giuliani did
a little of this when he was mayor. They used
to have one day a week would be Federal Day
where the cops would go out there and have federal
officers with them, so the cops could break the case,
find the criminal, and then hand them over to the
(13:35):
Feds because they could make sure he got locked up,
unlike locals here with the das that we have the
crazy ones. So that's very very good news. And apparently
Trump is on board with this. So if it does
start to have if there is starting to be a
crime problem, you'll see the Feds step in on the
streets of New York and start arresting criminals and making
(13:56):
sure they don't get out. Very good news. And Bongino
is going to leave as FBI Deputy director. It's been confirmed.
The replacements are a couple of guys. They're just you know,
career FBI guys. So, but Bongino has already cleaned out
his desk. He will officially stay until January and then
(14:18):
he'll leave. President Trump said Dan did a great job.
I think he wants to go back to his show. Yeah,
I don't blame him. You know. The problem is being
the deputy director. Basically you're just running day to day operations,
which if you're in that business, it's a great job.
But if you're you know, I gotta be honest with you,
it's much more fun doing this, you know, going on
TV and being on the radio and doing broadcasting. It's
(14:42):
a lot more fun than sitting in an office all
day doing FBI business. And for a lot of these
guys that leave, I don't know how they do it,
you know, I mean, it's fun, you know, it's great.
All you do is have fun all day in broadcasting.
So Bongino wants to get back to that. Hey, you
know this assisted suicide thing where you can decide you
(15:04):
want to die and get the medical aid and dying.
You know, it's like doctor suicide. You can do this,
And Canada did it. They legalized it in twenty sixteen.
In fact, within five years, doctor assisted suicide became one
of the top five causes of death in Canada. So
they're pushing this in New York and Kathy Hochel surprised
(15:26):
everybody by getting on board with this. You want to
commit suicide, you want to die, you can go to
the doctor and have him suicide. You Kavorki in you Now,
why would Hochel suddenly get it? Why would she want
to be Well, the insurance companies are pushing this like crazy.
In fact, they've been spending a lot of money, spending
(15:48):
a ton of money donating to politicians. They want this
because it'll save them a fortune. Now, who would want
to go commit suicide? Well, somebody who's got a terrible
illness that's going to choir you know, catastrophic medical care. Well,
if you don't want to go through that, you'd rather
just commit suicide. It's you know, for you, you think
(16:10):
it's better for the insurance company. It's a hell of
a lot better. You know that your insurance medical bills
could be ten million bucks by the time you're done
twenty years later. So the insurance company would love to
have you just go away. So they've been bribing and
donating and paying off politicians like crazy. And guess who's
suddenly on board Kathy Hokel. Well you do the math.
(16:32):
That's why she suddenly is on board with this. Hey,
we'll take Jimmy Fayala will be with us 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.
The Mark Simon Show, delivering the news before it is
on seven to ten wr.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Well, it's today, Thursday, it's one week until Christmas is
a week from today. Unbelievable. It's almost time for New
Year's resolutions. It's almost time for a look back of
best of twenty twenty five? Can you believe it? The
year just flown by? So Nick Reiner was in court
(00:29):
with what tell that was he had on? It's they
call it a suicide vest. It's a weird blue thing
covering up. He had shackles on, and obviously a very
very dangerous, troubled guy. He's being held in isolation. He's
on suicide watch. They brought him into court basically only
(00:50):
said one thing. He only spoke once when the judge
said they agreed to delay until January, agent and all
that stuff, and then she said are you okay with
giving up your right to swift try? And he said, yes,
you're on it. It's the only thing he said in
court that day. This attorney has Jackson is one of
(01:12):
the top top top Los Angeles criminal attorneys. Handled a
lot of big, big cases. It said, if you want
to hire this guy on a murder charge and get
defended by him. It's about a million bucks, so I
would assume the family is paying for it. Here's the attorney. Afterwards,
You're set.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
For January seventh, foreign arraignments. That's the next court date.
And that's all I have to say at this point.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
Well, so the kid will be locked up until then, dangerous,
dangerous kid.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
We asked that during this process you allow the system
to move forward in the way that it was designed
to move forward, not with a rush to judgment, not
with jumping to conclusions, but with restraint and with dignity
and with the respect that this system and this process
and that the family deserves.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Very well said, but I got to be honest, I'm
going to rush the judgment on this one. I am
going to definitely jump the conclusions with this deranged psycho kid.
I will rush the judgment on this one. But that's
what you do for a million dollars. You sound good
and you make these speeches, but I really don't know
how they I mean, you know what, I would assume
(02:24):
in the end, they're going to have DNA evidence that
will absolutely convict this kid through a hard DNA evidence.
Although it is Los Angeles where they have screwed up
more cases. You remember the OJ case was lost because
they didn't properly secure the evidence. Remember they had the

under oath that he put it the test tube with
the blood, He had it in his sport coat pocket
for a week before he vouchered or something like that.
(03:08):
They just screwed it up. So anything can happen in
Los Angeles. Now, in the Brown University shooting, it turns
out this Brown University has got one really bumbling, stupid president.
Her name is I forget what her name is. But
in fact there's talking now of hauling her in front
of Congress and making you testify about how badly run
(03:29):
Brown University was. You know, I kept pointing out the
security director. I don't like his resume. He's got twenty
thirty years of school safety but you know, somewhere else
he was a director of security at a school. Somewhere else,
he was a patrolman. But on a school a security force.
You know, you'd like to get a guy from real

Brown is no exception.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
She's gonna get hauled in front of Congress. And I've
testified on her oath. She's get three million a year,
three million a year and doesn't have a proper head
of security, does not have surveillance cameras, all the necessary equipment.
Her background, well, she's an economist. Well there you go.
An economist, not the good kind, not the Steve More kind.

is that New Year's Day? Yeah? Two weeks from today
takes office, the last two weeks of Eric Adams. Two
(11:26):
weeks from today, Mam Donnie is sworn in. Now. The
biggest thing everybody's worried about, obviously, is crime number two
would be these homeless camps all over the place. Uh,
here's some good news, some good news. The US attorney
Southern District, that's the most powerful US attorney's office. The
current US attorney's a guy named Jay Clayton. He's great,
(11:48):
really great Jay Clayton. He has quite a career. You know,
he was the SEC chairman in Trump's first term. Donald
Trump likes him a lot, talks to him constantly. And
j Clayton as the US attorney. You know, in the
Southern District, they're usually going after some big fraud case,
or they're going after some big corporation, some big drug
(12:09):
trafficky whatever, big big stuff. But Clayton has said he
and his office and this is good news with mom
Donney company. He said, he and his office will focus
on street crime. And they can do this. They can
do this. They can do a great job. And these
federal guys are even better. Sometimes they'll go after drugs,
(12:31):
they'll go after guns, they'll go after violence, they'll go
after all kinds of crime. Reason I say they're better.
NYPD is great. But problem with the NYPD. They'll do
a great job, but then it goes into a New
York City court, a New York City judge and New
York City jury, and you know, he goes to Alvin Bragg,
Local DA, and all these people do is let the
(12:53):
criminals back out in the street. Now, in the case
of Clayton, it's federal. It goes to a federal prosecutor
and they don't let everybody go. They'll actually lock them up.
And as Clayton said, the one thing we do know
is if you keep letting the criminals back out, you're
going to have a crime wave. If you'll lock them
up and keep them locked up, crime drops dramatically, he says,
(13:14):
we know from studies repeat violent offenders, continuous custody is
the thing that reduces crime the most. Rudy Giuliani did
a little of this when he was mayor. They used
to have one day a week would be Federal Day
where the cops would go out there and have federal
officers with them, so the cops could break the case,
find the criminal, and then hand them over to the
(13:35):
Feds because they could make sure he got locked up,
unlike locals here with the das that we have the
crazy ones. So that's very very good news. And apparently
Trump is on board with this. So if it does
start to have if there is starting to be a
crime problem, you'll see the Feds step in on the
streets of New York and start arresting criminals and making
(13:56):
sure they don't get out. Very good news. And Bongino
is going to leave as FBI Deputy director. It's been confirmed.
The replacements are a couple of guys. They're just you know,
career FBI guys. So, but Bongino has already cleaned out
his desk. He will officially stay until January and then
(14:18):
he'll leave. President Trump said Dan did a great job.
I think he wants to go back to his show. Yeah,
I don't blame him. You know. The problem is being
the deputy director. Basically you're just running day to day operations,
which if you're in that business, it's a great job.
But if you're you know, I gotta be honest with you,
it's much more fun doing this, you know, going on
TV and being on the radio and doing broadcasting. It's
(14:42):
a lot more fun than sitting in an office all
day doing FBI business. And for a lot of these
guys that leave, I don't know how they do it,
you know, I mean, it's fun, you know, it's great.
All you do is have fun all day in broadcasting.
So Bongino wants to get back to that. Hey, you
know this assisted suicide thing where you can decide you
(15:04):
want to die and get the medical aid and dying.
You know, it's like doctor suicide. You can do this,
And Canada did it. They legalized it in twenty sixteen.
In fact, within five years, doctor assisted suicide became one
of the top five causes of death in Canada. So
they're pushing this in New York and Kathy Hochel surprised
(15:26):
everybody by getting on board with this. You want to
commit suicide, you want to die, you can go to
the doctor and have him suicide. You Kavorki in you Now,
why would Hochel suddenly get it? Why would she want
to be Well, the insurance companies are pushing this like crazy.
In fact, they've been spending a lot of money, spending
(15:48):
a ton of money donating to politicians. They want this
because it'll save them a fortune. Now, who would want
to go commit suicide? Well, somebody who's got a terrible
illness that's going to choir you know, catastrophic medical care. Well,
if you don't want to go through that, you'd rather
just commit suicide. It's you know, for you, you think
(16:10):
it's better for the insurance company. It's a hell of
a lot better. You know that your insurance medical bills
could be ten million bucks by the time you're done
twenty years later. So the insurance company would love to
have you just go away. So they've been bribing and
donating and paying off politicians like crazy. And guess who's
suddenly on board Kathy Hokel. Well you do the math.
(16:32):
That's why she suddenly is on board with this. Hey,
we'll take Jimmy Fayala will be with us 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.
