You're tougher with Canada than you are with some of our biggest adversaries.
00:00:08.540
We need their territory. They have territorial advantage.
00:00:11.040
We're not going to let them get close to China.
00:00:13.260
Look, I deal with every country, indirectly or directly.
00:00:16.860
One of the nastiest countries to deal with is Canada.
00:00:22.680
The people that... Good old Justin, I call him Governor Trudeau.
00:00:31.100
And they weren't telling the truth. They never told the truth.
00:00:33.860
Do you know that... You know, they'd say, well, we don't charge.
00:00:37.180
Well, they do. They charge tremendous. They charge tremendous.
00:00:40.400
And if you look at dairy products, what they've done to our farmers,
00:00:43.920
I'd go up to Iowa, I'd go up to different places, Nebraska,
00:00:47.300
and they would always complain about Canada, how they get ripped off.
00:01:01.360
And there's no reason... Much more. We have much more.
00:01:07.520
And I like Canada. I love Canada. I love Wayne Gretzky.
00:01:12.220
The liberal party's going to win now in the next election, most likely.
00:01:17.520
Isn't that going to make them more hostile to us and possibly...
00:01:20.280
No, I'd rather deal with a liberal than a country.
00:01:21.900
...for China, closer to Canada, and that would really put us in a bind.
00:01:26.560
Hello, everybody, and welcome to The Great America Show.
00:01:42.240
She may be taking orders from puppet masters now at the top.
00:01:46.220
Could it be the Murdoch's kids are finally calling the shots and have had enough of Donald Trump?
00:01:51.560
Well, I, from working there, have known they've had enough of Donald Trump since 2016.
00:01:57.840
Rupert himself, I don't think, has ever liked Donald Trump,
00:02:00.240
just based on looking at court documents and depositions that I've sat in on myself.
00:02:04.180
So, why anyone watches Fox News anymore is beside me, I'm not entirely sure.
00:02:09.800
Now, there are still some good people over there who do television shows,
00:02:13.420
but for the most part, the sentiment there is down, which is why their ratings are down.
00:02:17.380
They're not down as much as CNN and MSNBC, but they're not what they used to be
00:02:21.140
since, obviously, getting rid of Tucker Carlson and the great, late, my best friend, Lou Dobbs.
00:02:29.960
Ingram, I'm not entirely sure what's happened to her coming off as extremely angry,
00:02:35.100
like a Marxist stem on a mainstream network going after Donald Trump over what?
00:02:46.160
She's just a talking head on television who doesn't write her own scripts,
00:02:49.780
doesn't do her own research, goes in front of a teleprompter
00:02:52.240
and reads whatever has been written for her that day.
00:02:54.900
So, what does she know that she's going there arguing on tariffs for President Trump?
00:02:59.120
And by the way, Donald Trump did an absolutely terrific job staying calm and collective
00:03:03.720
and giving her factual numbers and statistics about Canada and what they're doing to us.
00:03:10.980
I think if President Trump and his administration could lay out for the American people,
00:03:15.160
and I've been saying this for weeks now, it's all about messaging.
00:03:18.500
If you could come out here and tell the American people, listen, this is what's happening.
00:03:30.300
If you could put in front of the American people's eyes what kind of tariffs,
00:03:37.680
I think the American people will be a lot more inclined and settled to know that the tariffs
00:03:43.120
that President Trump, that he's going to put on them, are more than warranted,
00:03:47.340
are more than needed because of what they've done to us.
00:03:50.520
The amount of money they charge our farmers to import into their country, 250 percent?
00:03:59.780
That's absolutely nothing compared to what they do to us.
00:04:05.240
Speaking of messaging, Elon Musk, he's been the center of attention,
00:04:11.280
for no other reason other than the Marxist Dems just can't seem to get their head around Elon Musk
00:04:17.500
wanting to make America great again, wanting to be on President Trump's side.
00:04:21.540
We saw it just yesterday when Elon Musk sent his starship up there,
00:04:26.420
his Falcon, to go get those two stranded astronauts.
00:04:36.120
We left him up there for over 300 days for fun.
00:04:38.280
We left him up there for fun, to strand them for no reason.
00:04:43.260
To go on TV and say we could have got them at any point, that's total nonsense.
00:04:51.240
Did we just want to leave him up there for fun, to let them sweat?
00:04:54.020
So Elon Musk was on Fox News, a little bit more of a friendly interview than that Laura Ingram one.
00:05:00.860
Elon laying out why, just why he's in this situation,
00:05:08.800
It's way deeper than just his friendship with Donald Trump.
00:05:12.560
You know, the average American makes $66,000 a year.
00:05:20.060
You said to me in our last interview, we won't have a country unless we fix it now.
00:05:27.260
Can you explain why this is so important that we identify all this waste?
00:05:32.420
Yes, the government waste and fraud is so high that it's causing a $2 trillion annual deficit.
00:05:43.480
So that's $2,000 billion of waste, waste and fraud that's happening.
00:05:49.420
And the cost of our debt has gotten so high that just the interest payments on the debt exceed the entire military budget.
00:06:01.620
It's just, you know, countries are different from a person.
00:06:04.080
If a country overspends and doesn't spend wisely, just like a person, a country will go bankrupt.
00:06:10.080
So the reason I'm here is because I'm very worried about America going bankrupt due to the corruption and waste.
00:06:17.560
And if we're going to do something about it, the ship of America is going to sink.
00:06:23.400
You know, and this may be a message to, you know, people out there who are wealthy, have a lot of means or patrol companies.
00:06:31.080
It's like, just remember, we're all on ship of America here.
00:06:34.920
If your company is not going to exist, if, you know, if the ship of America sinks and we should do everything we possibly can to ensure that America is strong for far into the future.
00:06:47.580
I mean, it's pretty reasonable response, pretty level minded response.
00:06:53.260
If you ask me, I don't understand why the Democrats hate him so much.
00:07:02.140
It's the same reason Donald Trump ran for president.
00:07:05.760
Elon Musk is getting hammered, totally hammered economically and financially by doing what he's doing.
00:07:15.740
The folks on Wall Street shorting his stock and doing all they can to drive that thing through the floor.
00:07:23.160
He doesn't need this drama and hate from the Marxist left.
00:07:30.820
He knows there's no other place in the world like America.
00:07:34.580
He knows that, which is why I say he's trying to save this country, why he's so entwined with Donald Trump, so intent on saving this country with Donald Trump.
00:07:46.880
They're doing it because they love this country.
00:07:52.240
They want this country to be here in 50 years, in 25 years.
00:07:56.740
They want to leave a better place behind for their children, for their grandchildren, for their great-grandchildren, because the Democrats don't care about that.
00:08:05.980
They claim to care about the environment, and that's why they're all about green energy and saving the planet and all that nonsense.
00:08:16.300
They care about creating wars, funding wars, shipping money overseas to Ukraine to continue to bang out a war.
00:08:23.380
They care about shipping our jobs overseas, as they've done.
00:08:26.700
They don't give a damn, which is why they hate Elon Musk and Donald Trump so much.
00:08:32.240
Folks, that's enough ranting for me for right now.
00:08:35.460
So there's so much to talk about on today's show.
00:08:38.260
To do that, I ask my good friend, the great Mark Simone, New York City radio host, 710WOR, to join us today to break it all down.
00:08:48.100
Mark, as always, it's great to have you with us here on The Great America Show.
00:08:51.860
I want to start with first, as I send you over the call-in for this show, you're one of three people I still know who has an AOL email address.
00:08:58.640
The other two are Mrs. Dobbs, the wife of the late, great Lou Dobbs, and my father.
00:09:04.140
So congratulations, you're in a very small group of people I know.
00:09:09.500
In my defense, I have a Gmail account, I have an iCloud account, I have an account on every service there is.
00:09:14.960
By the way, but if you're booking celebrities on shows, you'd be surprised how many have AOL accounts.
00:09:23.520
The last time I was on AOL, Mark, this is probably a millennial, a millennial thing, was on my AIM chat where you talk to your buddies.
00:09:31.980
It was our form of text messaging when our parents wouldn't buy us cell phones.
00:09:35.820
But that's so funny that it's such a small group of people.
00:09:39.680
I want to turn to the news of, I guess, perhaps the year, the week, the month, the day, and it's the Marxist Dems are in complete disarray.
00:09:48.560
Whether it be Elon Musk, these Marxists in New York City destroying his dealerships.
00:09:53.120
I have friends, Mark, who own Teslas who are being forced to sell them because they're being vandalized.
00:10:05.300
Elon Musk is the, I mean, what we saw this week, the greatest hero.
00:10:10.120
Can you imagine the government can't get these astronauts back?
00:10:19.400
A private citizen with his own company he started has to rescue the astronauts.
00:10:26.560
I mean, it was like a light switch broke in a capsule.
00:10:37.000
Somebody, if this were a Democrat, every studio, every streaming service would be calling to buy the rights to this story.
00:10:49.700
It's a very good thing because they're going to never win another election until they come out of this crazy, angry, raging hate.
00:10:58.920
If you want to know why MSNBC or CNN can't get viewers.
00:11:02.420
And the study showed if people go somewhere and everybody's happy and having fun, they want to stay.
00:11:08.140
If you went in a restaurant, it was like a party.
00:11:10.920
If you went to another restaurant, everybody was angry and miserable.
00:11:29.460
I spent a few years in the news business and a lot of people used to leave when I was at Fox.
00:11:34.980
Believe it or not, most of the producers who work in television are either apolitical or lean slightly left.
00:11:42.080
It's not a high paying job, but it's a job, I guess, nonetheless.
00:11:45.140
But so many of them would leave Fox after doing two or three years to go work for CNN.
00:11:49.720
And I'd say, why the hell are you going to CNN?
00:11:53.820
But you bring up a perfect point that I've never realized.
00:11:56.560
It's so miserable and gaunt in that place, probably, that they have no choice.
00:12:01.520
But that's the only people that you can get in.
00:12:05.120
But staying on the media, MSNBC, I love when these people are forced to issue corrections, Mark, because they say it and they're so embarrassed.
00:12:14.080
But it's about time that we finally get some accountability.
00:12:17.180
Take a listen to MSNBC last night being forced to issue an apology to President Trump.
00:12:23.120
And you're never going to guess what the topic is.
00:12:25.820
Before we go, though, last night we reported on excerpts of an interview between the director of national intelligence, Tulsa Gabbard, and an Indian TV news network in which she said that Trump was good friends with a world leader.
00:12:43.100
We said that world leader was Vladimir Putin, but the full interview shows that Gabbard was referring to Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi.
00:12:55.420
Mark, would you have ever guessed they made an accident about Trump and Russia and Vladimir Putin?
00:13:02.380
Well, they still haven't corrected that bloodbath quote they doctored.
00:13:05.960
They still haven't corrected the 2025 project, which has nothing to do with Trump.
00:13:10.280
And then, hey, just last week they took that Elon Musk interview.
00:13:16.860
He said waste and fraud in Social Security will be the target.
00:13:30.180
The good people on both sides where people were resigning in President Trump's administration
00:13:35.260
because they were listening to the mainstream media and their take on it, not what President
00:13:41.760
Which, by the way, I heard Chuck Schumer repeat that Charlottesville thing when he was on The
00:13:47.320
I think, yeah, I mean, somewhere I got a list of these lies.
00:13:50.320
Hey, by the way, talking to Putin, you know, that's another lie.
00:13:53.740
I have a video of Bill Clinton bragging as he's president.
00:14:00.760
Obama was sending messages and talking to Putin all the time.
00:14:05.280
If you're not speaking to the other world leaders, you probably should resign.
00:14:10.760
We're going to do a whole segment on Chuck Schumer in the next after the commercial break
00:14:16.660
We started this thing, Mark, on the show this week.
00:14:18.840
It's called Numb Skull of the Day because we've seemingly made my producers able to find
00:14:24.280
so many Marxist Dems who just say and do stupid things on a daily basis that it's an
00:14:31.740
You know, the Russia thing is so interesting to me because to think that now we find out
00:14:37.180
that Russia maybe wants to work with Elon Musk on a deal to go to Mars by 2029.
00:14:43.340
To think if we can pull Russia, which I think is probably very easy, and obviously relations
00:14:48.900
with them have been very rough since 1990 because we've lied to them all along the way
00:14:55.180
since 1990 with NATO, we signed a deal that NATO was never going to move to the east of
00:15:02.340
Germany, okay, between Gorbachev and NATO and James Baker at the time.
00:15:10.520
Time and time again, since 1990, NATO has continued to press the borders of Russia further east,
00:15:17.100
Belarus to Croatia, and all up and down the whole damn place with Ukraine being the largest
00:15:23.320
piece of land where there's not a NATO country.
00:15:25.780
So Zelensky comes in and says, well, I want to be part of NATO.
00:15:28.860
Well, what the hell did you expect Putin to do when he's being told that there's going
00:15:33.440
to be weapons in his backyard that can be used against him?
00:15:35.820
So that's just to preface the point about the people who think I'm being paid by Russia.
00:15:40.480
I wish I was, but I'm not because I heard they got a lot of money.
00:15:44.080
But think about how nice it would be, Mark, if we can make a deal to be sort of cordial and
00:15:50.860
friendly with Russia again, it would take the relationship between Russia and China and
00:15:55.540
China would think twice about every single thing they've done, and they do from here
00:15:59.480
on forward with Taiwan, with the Philippines, with the South China Sea.
00:16:09.040
I'm sure there's all kinds of things, but he's a world leader.
00:16:15.600
Whenever you hear him in an interview, watch him speak.
00:16:17.520
He seems quite cordial and articulate, gentlemanly.
00:16:22.920
He looked like that bad contractor in your house who's arguing with you, up in the bill,
00:16:31.240
He just looked like an unpleasant guy to deal with.
00:16:38.420
When Trump became president the first time around, he had that long Mar-a-Lago dinner with
00:16:45.560
And Trump will get this settled the next few weeks.
00:16:48.620
That's the great thing about Democrats and liberals and MSNBC crowd.
00:16:54.100
Three weeks later, it turns out Trump was right.
00:16:56.120
They were wrong, and they never mentioned it again.
00:16:59.560
To me, it's like, why wouldn't you want to be friends?
00:17:02.220
And you find me, Mark, you find me a world leader who's a good person.
00:17:07.340
With the exception of Donald Trump, there's not one who is a good person.
00:17:12.660
But politics does things, Mark, you've been around politicians your whole life.
00:17:16.280
I, unfortunately, have been around them for longer than I would have ever liked to.
00:17:19.660
And I've known people, Mark, who were politicians, who were regular people before politicians.
00:17:24.860
And I was telling someone this the other day, when you talk to a politician, Mark, it doesn't
00:17:28.940
matter who you are, you always feel like, and tell me if you disagree, like you're talking
00:17:34.300
It's going in one ear, and it's going out the other.
00:17:39.520
It's like they're soulless, heartless people, and they really don't care what you say because
00:17:44.380
Whoever's paying for that agenda, whoever's paying them or has their ear, whatever lobbyist
00:17:48.520
is taking them to Ruth Chris or Del Frisco's that night, has their ear.
00:17:56.120
Because I've got that with every politician I talk to.
00:17:58.840
Well, I'm thinking, I've known some really good people who are politicians.
00:18:03.960
George Pataki, governor of New York, was a great guy.
00:18:07.300
Charlie Rangel, I don't agree with him on anything, but he was a nice man, a fun guy to be around.
00:18:14.260
David Dinkins, the Democratic mayor of New York, was the nicest human being you could ever
00:18:20.920
He didn't get much done, but that's probably part of the problem.
00:18:25.760
Carolyn Maloney, the Democratic congresswoman, nice.
00:18:32.800
They're disgusting, awful, conniving, scheming, or there's the Chuck Schumer type.
00:18:38.240
All they're there for is donor service, favors for donors.
00:18:48.340
They'll write there with you whatever you need.
00:18:52.780
And there are, I mean, there are some on both sides.
00:18:54.880
But the general consensus I get from me is these people are, it's one ear, one in ear
00:19:02.100
They don't care what you have to say because, you know, they're bought, the majority of them
00:19:09.000
You can go on opensecrets.com and you can see where they're getting their money.
00:19:12.680
You can see where every politician from the industries, where they're getting their lobbying
00:19:18.300
All of them say they don't take it, but you can go ahead.
00:19:21.640
And by the way, that's one reason there was no attempt to settle the Ukraine war.
00:19:27.200
And they would have loved that because it's hundreds of billions in defense contracts to
00:19:34.520
A lot of Republicans do hand out these contracts.
00:19:40.900
Yeah, I'm no stock expert, but I talk to my dad every day who's on Wall Street.
00:19:47.620
And if you want to go out and buy some stocks, go buy Halliburton, go buy Lockheed Martin,
00:19:52.520
go buy any of these defense contractors, because that's where, honestly, you know, you're never
00:19:56.680
going to have to worry about losing money because there's always going to be the Lindsey
00:19:59.540
Grahams of the world and these people who just stoke wars and stoke wars because they
00:20:07.200
They're not sending their grandchildren overseas.
00:20:11.320
They're spending the taxpayer money, our money.
00:20:14.780
They're getting it back on the back end because, you know, lobbying or as we found out from
00:20:20.260
USAID, a lot of these people are making money ill-gained.
00:20:25.820
When we come back, I want to talk about our numbskull of the day.
00:20:30.880
They're probably going to know who this fella is or this female.

Mark, I want to get to, before we get to our numbskull of the day,
00:22:13.340
Sort of a weird question, but I'm just curious.
00:22:18.040
Well, your answer is far different than the one I was expecting.
00:22:24.420
Far different of the one of, we'll say Chuck Schumer.
00:22:33.600
I wake up three in the morning sometimes so worried about the future of the country
00:22:37.840
under these oligarchs or whatever, you know, as, yeah, oligarchs, I guess.
00:22:48.960
Far different than what keeps you and I up at night.
00:23:04.860
Oligarch service is what this guy does for a living.
00:23:10.380
Every major, major donor, Democrat and Republican loves him.
00:23:16.320
They make sure he never has an opponent when he runs.
00:23:19.460
And if you ask even the Republican donors, why do you, why do you keep putting this guy
00:23:24.380
They'll tell you because I can wake him up at three in the morning.
00:23:32.840
He gives out, it takes care of anything you need.
00:23:40.940
You know, this guy, Chuck Schumer just wrote a book on anti-Semitism.
00:23:46.860
We're having the worst anti-Semitism crisis ever in New York at Columbia University at Barnard.
00:23:52.960
Schumer has never mentioned it, never gone there, never called up the president or the
00:23:57.440
trustees screaming at them, never fought for those Jewish students being terrorized.
00:24:01.580
He's never even mentioned it, doesn't even get involved, and then writes a book about
00:24:11.320
Columbia didn't do enough for anti-Semitism, but Trump is trying to hurt our universities.
00:24:15.500
Well, I mean, Chuck, you can't have your cake and eat it, too.
00:24:19.220
Is Trump a bad guy for going after the colleges and universities for anti-Semitism, or is he
00:24:25.260
a bad guy for doing too much against him by deporting this fella from Columbia who was
00:24:31.720
inciting a riot, inciting some sort of insurrection?
00:24:43.300
Yeah, as soon as that went on lockdown, and this tells you everything about Chuck Schumer.
00:24:46.880
He's the leading official, Democratic official in New York, Jewish official in New York.
00:24:51.760
The second that lockdown happened, he should have been there.
00:24:54.560
He should have called everybody and everybody he had to to get those students safe.
00:25:01.500
That whole summer of George Floyd riots right here in New York, Schumer vanished.
00:25:11.180
He's just absolutely the most worthless bureaucrat ever.
00:25:16.380
And he's being forced to, you hear this, he's being forced to cancel his book tour.
00:25:20.800
Well, because Republicans aren't going to come to these venues to see him.
00:25:24.420
And after what he did, the Democrats won't come.
00:25:26.980
You know, I had like 20 appearances, Baltimore, Washington, New York, Philadelphia.
00:25:30.920
And the organizers saw they had nobody coming, so they had to cancel it.
00:25:44.420
And the Republicans aren't violent people, Mark, overwhelmingly, for the most part.
00:25:49.460
You know, you always hear the Democrats, oh, they're gun-toting.
00:25:54.300
But I mean, overwhelmingly, statistically showing, the Republicans aren't violent people.
00:26:00.140
When we dealt with Joe Biden for four years, Mark, we didn't take to the streets.
00:26:08.660
But these people, it's just months now since Donald Trump has taken over, almost three months
00:26:17.300
The only problem is, I think this time around, it's going to be a far different result for
00:26:22.060
Well, there's Democrats watching saying, yeah, what about January 6th?
00:26:25.460
If you talk to some of the security there, they were quite amazed that thousands and thousands
00:26:30.420
and thousands of people ran through the Capitol.
00:26:33.220
And like in the rotunda, they didn't do any damage.
00:26:35.480
They never even knocked over the stanchion or the velvet ropes.
00:26:41.680
I know they went into Pelosi's office and they knocked the printer off the desk.
00:26:47.500
A broken window or two and a $200 printer had to be replaced.
00:26:51.140
You imagine if thousands of Democratic rioters were in there, what would have happened?
00:26:55.500
One of the guys at Nancy Pelosi's office puts his feet on the desk and writes her,
00:27:02.700
The guy's a, my favorite guy is the guy with the lectern.
00:27:05.240
The guy who took the lectern and the picture of him is running through the thing with the
00:27:14.140
But these are the people that they said were bad people.
00:27:17.160
I want to get back to Chuck Schumer because he's our numbskull of the day.
00:27:21.040
He was on The View you mentioned the other day.
00:27:24.100
Mark, these people are saying the quiet part out loud now.
00:27:30.640
And it's a man who knows what to say and not to say Chuck Schumer has the audacity to
00:27:35.300
go on The View the other day and mock Americans for wanting lower taxes and the government
00:27:46.880
How dare your government take my money from me?
00:27:53.240
How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, my land and water that
00:28:03.860
Government's a barrier to people, a barrier to stop them from doing things.
00:28:11.740
How stupid can you be, Mark, to go out there and say, I'm in favor of high taxes and government
00:28:24.940
If you watched the whole interview, even in that clip, he every so often he's trying to
00:28:28.880
rattle off what's really trying to pour his heart.
00:28:33.240
That's why he has those silly looking Ben Franklin glasses on.
00:28:39.380
He has to keep looking at the notes to tell you what's in his heart.
00:28:54.900
As Burt Lancaster said in that movie, you're dead, son.
00:29:02.340
Chuck Schumer is, and I'm sure he's going to be throughout the year, Chuck Schumer is
00:29:08.060
It's not such great audio, but of how you describe Chuck Schumer, President Trump has
00:29:46.720
Find out how much money did I give a raise to Chuck Schumer.
00:29:59.800
But I think it's to the point, to your point, that he's, whoever's giving him the next paycheck,
00:30:08.900
Also, the Al Smith dinner was a big event here in October in New York with all the big, one thing I know about Schumer from doing a million events with him, he calls ahead.
00:30:19.460
The staff wants to know where he's sitting, who he'll be next to.
00:30:24.060
He picked the seat next to Donald Trump at the Al Smith dinner.
00:30:29.600
And I was there while watching them during the dinner.
00:30:43.740
You know, I don't know if I've ever told you this story, but since you mentioned that you've been around him a lot, I've got to tell this story for the audience who hasn't heard me say it before.
00:30:51.960
I had the fortune of sitting next to Chuck, his wife and his daughter on a flight home from Paris, maybe six or seven years ago.
00:31:03.780
And we're sitting in first class and the tickets was not cheap, Mark.
00:31:09.020
I think I booked my with miles, but a first class ticket from Paris back to New York.
00:31:15.780
One way is probably six or seven thousand dollars.
00:31:18.580
And I guess I think I probably booked it with points from American Express.
00:31:24.920
So there's no no puncher, no promo for Amex, but you get a bang for your buck on those points.
00:31:29.780
And I'm sitting next to him and I'm wondering and I go in and look and it's like twelve thousand dollars round trip.
00:31:34.880
So I'm doing the math at twelve, twenty four, thirty six thousand dollars, Mark, for a guy who makes two hundred thousand dollars a year before taxes, after taxes, by a buck and change to spend thirty six thousand dollars on first class tickets.
00:31:51.400
They'll buy a two hundred dollar ticket and the airline knows to upgrade them.
00:31:56.020
That's what Eric Adams is getting indicted for.
00:31:58.060
But Schumer and people company do that all the time.
00:32:04.600
But to get to the best part of the story, Chuck Schumer is the only person and I'd swear in a Bible to watching this happen.
00:32:11.380
The only person I've ever seen get up to go to the bathroom with no shoes and no socks on.
00:32:19.600
But I watch this guy get up and I'm like, this guy's a damn weirdo.
00:32:23.880
You know, just from the neck up, he's pretty awful to look at.
00:32:31.300
I don't even want to think about watching this guy.
00:32:37.680
Of course, he has police officers meeting up at the jet bridge to get out of the New York State Police and he gets on his flip.
00:32:43.700
But that was the other thing I thought was interesting.
00:32:45.400
He's got this flip phone, you know, iPhone, nothing.
00:32:48.060
I thought that was very interesting, highly peculiar.
00:32:50.040
You know, everyone develops with the time, so you can't make those excuses.
00:32:54.940
So I thought that was, you know, people want to say he's using the flip phone because he's old and outdated.
00:33:01.420
It's the same reason gangsters use a flip phone.
00:33:06.840
No, it's it's the easiest to hide everything with a flip phone.
00:33:13.380
We're talking with Mark Simone, 710 WLR, iHeartRadio.
00:33:17.140
You can catch him each and every day for a few hours a day.
00:33:21.940
We're going a little bit further into the to the Democratic Party.
00:33:26.340
One of their prominent politicians says they have a problem resonating with the grassroots aspect.
00:33:36.480
I hear every day about the products you all wish my pillow carried.
00:33:42.160

Folks, we're back with the great Mark Simone, 710WOR.
00:34:43.860
Catch him on the weekends, too, on iHeartRadio.com, wherever you guys get your podcasts,
00:34:51.160
Mark, before we went to break there, I had mentioned the Democrats are having a little
00:34:55.700
bit of a hard time resonating, grassroots style.
00:34:58.500
Take a listen to what Bernie Sanders has to say.
00:35:00.500
It's not, I know, everyone's beating up on Chuck, and I strongly disagree with him, strongly.
00:35:05.380
No one is in the caucus more critical of Schumer than I am, but it's not Schumer.
00:35:12.560
You've got to take a deep breath and understand that you have a Democratic Party.
00:35:16.520
You know, you've got a Republican Party, which is owned by Musk.
00:35:19.520
Any Republican who defies Donald Trump will be primaried by Musk's unlimited amounts of
00:35:26.380
In the Democratic Party, you've got a party that is heavily dominated by the billionaire
00:35:30.980
class, run by consultants who are way out of touch with reality.
00:35:36.320
It has, the Democratic Party has virtually no grassroots support.
00:35:40.980
First of all, why is Caitlyn Collins always so damn angry?
00:35:48.400
She's like a kid, and she's just angry at the damn world.
00:35:56.100
They both look like they want to choke somebody.
00:35:58.240
They both look like they're going to kill somebody in the moment.
00:36:00.620
This is not, you know, on TV, you want to see people smiling, having a good time.
00:36:04.540
She's making millions of dollars a year as a person who's under 30 years old.
00:36:08.500
Like, what can there possibly be anger or anguish about?
00:36:25.000
You're making millions of dollars under 30 years old.
00:36:32.280
You know, you watch a conservative Fox Newsmax, this show, whatever.
00:36:40.400
But can you imagine anybody on MSNBC making a joke about anything?
00:36:52.820
But when the working man watches Bernie Sanders, all he does is the top 1% of the top 6%, make 8% of the 3%.
00:37:03.300
And, you know, my favorite thing was, I don't know if you remember, but RFK's confirmation hearings, him and RFK are talking to each other.
00:37:11.440
It was just hysterical to see, but he calls him out for getting money.
00:37:21.080
Like I said, opensecrets.com, where you can see where everyone's getting their money, where the politicians are getting their money.
00:37:28.680
And, you know, I used to think that he practiced what he preached and he believed in.
00:37:32.920
I always thought he was just a lunatic socialist psychopath.
00:37:35.040
But then when they steal it from him in 2016 with the superdelegates and Hillary Clinton, you would think that Bernie would go scorched dirt, just like Tulsi Gabbard did on the Democratic Party, because it's a fixed process.
00:37:54.460
How the hell does a man who says he has a conscience come out and support a woman who just robbed him, not even blindfolded?
00:38:01.380
You know, I never really trust a guy who has three houses and buying a fourth house.
00:38:09.340
I mean, this doesn't look like a real socialist to me.
00:38:15.840
He wants to be part of the swamp, the deep state.
00:38:23.260
Like you said, total fraud on the on the topic of total frauds.
00:38:27.920
Before we get on to we're going to wrap up the show today with JFK and Jeffrey Epstein.
00:38:32.000
So you guys are going to want to hang around for that.
00:38:35.140
I want to get to Cuomo running for mayor of New York City.
00:38:40.540
Now, this man's a disgrace and he's not a disgrace for.
00:38:43.900
By the way, I always say it was the dumbest thing in the world for what he resigned for.
00:38:47.420
He took a picture of the woman, put his hand on her back or whatever they said it was.
00:38:52.440
There had to be more to it that we don't know about for him to have resigned for that.
00:38:56.220
It was like the Al Franken thing resigns for that.
00:39:02.500
What makes him a disgrace is the how many people he killed in nursing homes, Mark, that he's managed to skate and get away with it.
00:39:09.700
How many loved ones loved ones was he responsible for killing in nursing homes with covid that he's never had to answer for?
00:39:17.000
Now he comes back brazen as hell to be the mayor of New York City, the same place where he killed presumptively thousands of people.
00:39:24.640
Yeah, but he also killed thousands of people in the streets.
00:39:28.140
He's the guy that pushed and signed this no bail, no jail, letting all the criminals loose.
00:39:35.000
There's a video of him telling you it's very much needed reform.
00:39:41.320
He's the guy that sent thousands of criminals out into the street that have raped, robbed, mugged, killed.
00:39:47.820
And he's the guy I mean, it's a long list of what he reminds me of Gavin Newsom.
00:39:55.100
But when you put them in charge, they'll always make the wrong decisions.
00:40:03.460
He's the guy that banned ice from coming in here again.
00:40:08.880
He's the guy that pushed through the congestion pricing and got it signed.
00:40:12.800
I mean, he'd give you 20 unbelievably stupid decisions.
00:40:16.660
He's the guy that picked Kathy Hochul for us that that screwed up New York.
00:40:21.140
He should run for the Senate because that's his talent talking, making speeches as a manager.
00:40:30.300
The nursing home, sending people with the virus into the nursing homes.
00:40:33.840
It's got to be about the stupidest decision ever in the history of management.
00:40:39.180
You know, it wasn't even now that you say that to it wasn't even just the nursing home.
00:40:44.160
You remember him calling Donald Trump because it was all part of their sick plan to get Donald Trump to make it look like Donald Trump's responsible for killing New Yorkers or whatever.
00:40:53.660
But you remember him calling Donald Trump, saying we're out of beds.
00:40:59.540
Less than a week, he had the damn ships out there that were supposed to be.
00:41:06.820
Then he starts putting people who were sick on there.
00:41:11.340
As Donald Trump goes and has GM making damn ventilators, we find out ventilators are killing people.
00:41:17.540
The guy completely mismanaged every single aspect of it, but he was never held accountable.
00:41:25.640
As someone or two elderly grandparents at the time, it doesn't sit right with me that he's never been held responsible for that.
00:41:37.580
Well, earlier this week, they had one of those things where he goes before the editorial board.
00:41:43.560
And the top editors grilled him on all of this.
00:41:46.300
And they were, they knew he's not going to take responsibility, but they were amazed at how he fell apart under questioning.
00:41:54.600
He looked just like he was just like a boxer who couldn't keep his arms up, couldn't keep his hands up.
00:42:02.880
I know he was ahead in the early polls, but three of those he paid for.
00:42:13.260
A good poll could run you, believe it or not, Mark.
00:42:15.240
From a top pollster, a good poll could run you $8,000 to $10,000 in terms of poll.
00:42:19.860
These were more of the cheap college polls for about $800.
00:42:25.120
You know, whenever you see college polls, just hit delete.
00:42:30.580
A college needs a football team, a stadium to get all kinds of attention.
00:42:37.380
I only get my polling from Mark Mitchell at Rasmussen.
00:42:43.380
Along with John McLaughlin, who's a very good friend of mine.
00:42:50.600
I want to turn to some of these U.S. district judges, Mark.
00:43:02.320
I think 129, Mark, lawsuits against Donald Trump.
00:43:16.000
Coming after you have the judge who said he wanted the trend de aguas back in America.
00:43:27.760
What's your thoughts as how Donald Trump proceeds?
00:43:30.300
It seems like he does not give a damn what they're saying.
00:43:36.860
Everybody said you can't impeach a guy because you don't like his decision.
00:43:41.860
The argument was this judge went crazy and stepped into areas where he has no authority.
00:43:49.340
If something happened to somebody in his district, he can rule on that.
00:43:53.000
But he can't set American policy, foreign policy.
00:43:57.540
There was some crazy judge in New York, just like this guy, who issued a ruling.
00:44:05.000
Luckily, nobody listened to him or paid attention to him.
00:44:07.980
But this judge, no judge can decide where we're allowed to send troops or where an aircraft carrier can go or what the national policy on the illegals is.
00:44:20.080
And then speaking of it, judges ordered the Mahmoud Khalil case to move from Louisiana to New Jersey.
00:44:25.780
Now, that's the man who's being deported from Columbia.
00:44:29.860
I mean, it's you know, during 2020, Mark, I was talking to a lawyer about this the other day.
00:44:34.740
During 2020, you constantly heard the election wasn't stolen because Donald Trump's case were cases were dismissed.
00:44:44.860
That should be as someone with a triple digit IQ that we all asked.
00:44:53.060
And then you go look, Mark, and it's nine out of 10, if not 10 out of 10 cases were dismissed on standing, which means you don't have the right to bring that case in that certain district.
00:45:02.060
Yet you look at where these Democrats bring their cases.
00:45:17.580
There was never a single court case on the election where anybody looked at any evidence.
00:45:26.960
I mean, I mean, deliberately, but they should have just let one court look at the evidence and see what's there.
00:45:33.420
These judges are crazy, but we should like these judges because they're going to make sure Democrats never win another election.
00:45:40.420
And people look at the video of those vicious terrorist gang members and the Democrat judges ordering them to come back.
00:45:51.840
Like I said, Mark, there's such thing as a good politician.
00:45:53.980
A good politician says the right things at the right time.
00:46:00.780
Not by choice, obviously, but, you know, the line of work that you're in.
00:46:04.100
You know, your entire career, you know, but these people, Mark, as a campaign manager myself, my former past life.
00:46:24.640
He was a congressman from Staten Island, New York.
00:46:26.540
And a New York one reporter said something to him on the Capitol Rotunda.
00:46:33.020
And he said to him, you have you ever effing say that to me again.
00:46:44.920
I mean, you can't imagine how many people, particularly elderly people, he pissed off by saying that, by doing that.
00:46:56.500
But these people, Mark, are making the same mistake day in and day out.
00:47:02.620
We went through this after Dukakis, the whole party, Democratic Party, the brand, everything was in shambles.
00:47:08.380
And you got to decide, are you going to go more to the mainstream or even crazier left?
00:47:13.560
And for about two years, they went crazier left until finally Bill Clinton came back, came up and he led them back to the common sense center.
00:47:26.000
And then somebody will rise up and try to lead them back to the middle where you'll find success.
00:47:32.900
And it's the only thing I think I've ever disagreed with you on, Mark, because I don't see how that's happening.
00:47:41.280
And it just goes to show you, look what they did to Joe Biden in July.
00:47:45.860
He said, OK, I mean, this is a man who is the leading presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, an incumbent president.
00:47:53.100
And they push him in his wheelchair off the cliff.
00:47:55.820
You've got these Marxist Dems who are trying to push the party.
00:48:01.180
I don't think in the next four years that I hope I'm right because I don't want to come back and visit this in four years.
00:48:06.420
But I think in the next four years, Chuck Schumer is going to be out of a leadership role, Hakeem Jeffries, because he's – Hakeem is not – he's a Marxist, but I don't think he's fully full-fledged Marxist left yet.
00:48:18.660
I think you're going to see someone like AOC run for Senate in New York, and this party is going to go further, further left.
00:48:24.980
And that's, I think, going to be a catalyst as to what you say about never winning elections again.
00:48:30.240
I don't see – I mean, tell me if I'm wrong or if you disagree.
00:48:33.200
Harry, what do you see that's pushing them further to the right towards the middle?
00:48:42.060
They did that, and then they lost the midterms.
00:48:48.840
That's where the big donors, the money, whoever rises up, finds themselves a Bill Clinton, and then that guy leads them.
00:48:58.180
The real money of the party will just get rid of these people and go for – they'll find a Bill Clinton.
00:49:03.280
I think that's what Gavin Newsom is trying to become.
00:49:06.540
Or a weather vane like Josh Shapiro will switch with the wind and become a common-sense moderate.
00:49:15.100
Shapiro – I always thought Shapiro was this big, tall guy.
00:49:17.400
Apparently, Roger Stone tells me he's about five feet tall, so he might have a tough decision.
00:49:21.500
But I think we hit that four-year window, Mark.
00:49:25.040
The midterms – last midterms, they flipped to Republicans.
00:49:33.120
This election, they lost the presidential election.
00:49:40.340
I'm not arguing with you that I say eventually that's going to happen.
00:49:44.060
But in the foreseeable future, Mark, there shows no signs of these people turning anything around.
00:49:49.520
They are in full-on self-destruct mode right now.
00:49:54.820
And you would think the Nancy Pelosi's, who were at one point centrists, centrists in the times of today, the Chuck Schumers, were centrists.
00:50:03.940
You would think that these people would try to get control of their party back now because you think about it.
00:50:14.540
November starts their re-election bid for a year, okay?
00:50:17.640
So you've really only got a year from October, November to run.
00:50:28.200
Do you think there's time for these people to save themselves?
00:50:31.200
No, I'm saying they'll get wiped out in the 26 midterms.
00:50:34.940
And then the big donors, the big money, and the David Axelrod types will figure out how to get the party back to the center.
00:50:44.660
Mark, every indication to me shows these people are in full-on self-destruct mode.
00:50:54.820
Burn the damn thing down so that it can be rebuilt and the people can see what's going on.
00:50:58.700
You also got to remember, in 2027, there probably won't be a MSNBC or a CNN.
00:51:08.240
The deception, the mayor of people, we've had enough of it, enough of the lies and deception.
00:51:12.400
I want to wrap up with the JFK documents followed by the Epstein documents.
00:51:18.380
We heard for years that the JFK documents, there was so much meat in them that they couldn't be released the last time.
00:51:29.420
They come out last night, and it's just a big nothing burger.
00:51:37.140
But for 35, 40 years, they were papers and folders, and you can destroy it.
00:51:42.520
I guarantee you those files were scrubbed a million times.
00:51:45.100
You know, picture a Sandy Berger going in there and removing some documents.
00:51:48.860
I guarantee that happened every couple weeks for years.
00:51:52.500
So if you look at them, we'll never know anything more than we know now.
00:52:04.840
I guess I kind of consider you a socialite, a man of the people, a man of the celebrity ruling class.
00:52:14.060
He was a good-looking guy, and he looked like a wealthy guy.
00:52:17.680
But when he opened his mouth, he was like Brooklyn and Queens, and he had a New York accent, and he was a tough guy.
00:52:23.820
But very early on, two guys warned me about him.
00:52:28.380
One was Dennis Stein, who was kind of the ringleader of the New York Society.
00:52:33.760
And the other was Donald Trump, who always warned me to stay away from this guy.
00:52:39.680
They tried to make it look like he was friends with Epstein.
00:52:41.880
Epstein, when he became a big Palm Beach zillionaire, did what they all do.
00:52:47.180
And it wasn't long before he got caught hitting on some 14-year-old who worked at the locker room, turned out to be the daughter of a member.
00:52:59.280
And from then on, he's warning everybody to stay away from this guy.
00:53:04.020
And, you know, when they had the Epstein address book they released, and it showed, look, he has Donald Trump's number.
00:53:20.720
Trump had nothing to do with Epstein, except for those first two years.
00:53:25.280
You know, there's so many people trying to, like, protect Epstein and the sanctuary of the documents.
00:53:29.640
And they're like, the Democrats are saying, well, Donald Trump, this.
00:53:34.200
If Donald Trump's on the documents, I still want them out.
00:53:36.700
If Donald Trump was on Epstein Island, I don't care, Republican or Democrat.
00:53:45.080
You know, there's no person in their right mind, Republican or Democrat, would ever defend a pedophile unless you're either one of them or you're sickly demented.
00:53:54.040
But Pam Bondi, I don't know what she's doing, dragging her feet with these documents.
00:53:59.720
And I'm told, Mark, by my sources, not to be mad at Kash Patel, that he has absolutely nothing to do with it, that he's in a little bit over his head right now.
00:54:07.180
And he's very busy trying to get acclimated to it.
00:54:09.760
But thank God he's got Dan Bongino now to help him.
00:54:12.260
But that Pam Bondi has dragged her feet with the releasing of these documents.
00:54:21.060
Who are they trying to protect by not letting the public know everything?
00:54:35.480
It doesn't you won't know what really happened.
00:54:37.940
You know, you look through somebody's diary or their phone book.
00:54:47.160
You probably have a million names in your book.
00:54:55.560
I've got Donald Trump's cell phone number in here.
00:54:57.700
And if I called him, he probably wouldn't answer the phone.
00:55:00.900
I have Chuck Schumer's number here, but I never hang out with him.
00:55:06.260
There may be nothing in the documents, Mark, but there's got to be thousands of hours.
00:55:10.880
There were spy cameras around the whole entire place.
00:55:13.160
There's got to be thousands of hours of documents on hard drives.
00:55:16.040
And the Justice Department has confirmed, the FBI has confirmed, that they're in possession of those.
00:55:21.620
Do you think we'll ever learn about the contents on those?
00:55:23.980
Because that's where the crimes probably happen, no?
00:55:29.020
It was like a 4th of July in the summer on the tarmac.
00:55:33.940
There were so many people at his townhouse everywhere.
00:55:36.740
If anything was there, I guarantee you they destroyed it as soon as he got arrested.
00:55:41.360
And you're just never going to know in the end.
00:55:44.440
I know a lot of people, I can't say who, but some people ran home because I know they wanted to wipe out stuff on their server.
00:55:53.740
But the most important thing to find out is who killed him.
00:56:03.000
I mean, that's pretty mind-blowing, too, though.
00:56:04.880
If we got gigabytes and gigabytes of data committing criminal acts, I don't think there's any sort of statute or limitations on molestation or anything like that.
00:56:14.980
Like I said, I'm just not in favor of protecting anybody who did anything wrong to minors.
00:56:20.020
If these people were throwing parties with adults and stuff like that, that's a different story to be dealt with a different way.
00:56:27.180
But if they have minors on tape and things like that, we need to figure out.
00:56:35.180
Anything you want to say, we appreciate you, as always, joining us here on The Great America Show.
00:56:41.460
Donald Trump looks like I guarantee in a couple of weeks he'll have the Ukraine war ended.
00:56:48.000
You won't even hear about it in a couple of months because it'll all be settled.
00:56:52.120
He's only been in office 10 minutes, and look what he's done.
00:56:56.660
I got to say, Mark, I always enjoy talking with you.
