Sean, you want to be a part of the program.
And don't forget, after the uh Fox News Republican primary debate tonight, uh, I will be uh doing my show uh from Milwaukee and look forward to uh you know interviewing some of the candidates.
I'm not wasting my time on people that I think are a waste of time.
Uh but anyway, we'll have a number of them on the program and uh great guests, great analysis.
Anyway, here to give us a little preview of what to expect tonight.
Mark Simone, number one morning show on WOR New York City, Joe Concha, Fox News uh contributor, best-selling author of Come On Man.
Uh welcome both of you to the program.
Hey, Mark.
Hey, Sean, heard it's really hot there.
It's like nice and cool New York.
Oh, yeah.
Wait.
Wait till you hear Asa Hutchinson.
Yeah, I can't give Asa and Chris Christie, you know, my two favorites.
Can't wait to hear them.
Oh, let's talk about Trump.
So here's my take on on the eight guys that are gonna be on the stage tonight.
And I want to see if you guys agree.
If I was them, Trump not being in the room, to me is an opportunity for them to speak to the American people and lay out what they would do as president.
And and if I was advising any of these people, not that anyone ever listens to me, Mark Simone.
I would be telling them all, uh, Donald Trump is very capable of speaking for himself.
And I'm here to tell the American people my vision for the future of the country.
Because when we're on the wrong road, people are suffering, they're suffering needlessly, these policies are failing of Joe Biden, and we're so we're capable of so much more and so much better.
That's what I would do, right?
Right advice, wrong advice.
What do you think, Mark?
Oh, absolutely.
Now, first of all, Donald Trump should not be there.
He it'd be totally inappropriate.
Why would he be sitting at the kids' table?
He doesn't belong there.
Ouch.
Ouch.
What by the way, you know, I hate to admit this, but when I go to like these, you know, as Linda says shishi restaurants, and I can't even understand what one item on the menu is even about, you know, I'll ask them, do you have a kids' menu?
Do you ever do that?
This is by the way, Mark doesn't do that because Mark is go loves these sh restaurants.
Is that what you call them, Linda?
Shishi.
I call them bougie bougie, but you can call him Shishi.
Okay, whatever.
Uh you know, they're just you know, you go there, you look at the menu, and like, what the hell is this?
I can't even pronounce it.
Anyway, do you have a children's menu?
You have mac and cheese, you know, do you have any flat you know, cold fire pizza, whatever you got?
Yeah, but now they have that in the CC restaurant, they call it truffle mac and cheese.
Uh caviar mac and cheese.
See, see, see, I mean, only Mark Simone would know this.
Because he he's a New Yorker's New Yorker, New York born, New York bred, and when he dies, God hope, many, many, many, many years down the road, he's he's gonna be in New York and paying all that money in estate taxes.
Oh boy.
Wes, I'm from Michigan.
Uh that's why I love New York so much.
You know, when you come here, you appreciate it more.
I don't appreciate it as much as you, obviously.
I can't stand it anymore.
Uh anyway, so what advice would you give Joe Concha?
I would do exactly what you said.
And you can't do the 2022 midterm playbook, Sean, and that is tell everybody what's wrong with the country, right?
People know how they feel in terms of when they go to a grocery store or when they fill up their gas tank.
They know inflation's a big problem.
You don't have to explain that to them.
What you have to do is tell people what you will do if you were president or vice president advising the president.
And that means what are you going to do in terms of getting wages up so they keep up with inflation?
Are you gonna finish that wall along the U.S. southern border?
How are you gonna get U.S. test scores, AT ACT test scores that are at 30-year low?
How do you turn that around and how do you give more power back to parents when it comes to their kids' education?
What are you gonna do about the crime problem?
We know that it's driving people out of places like New York like you just mentioned, but San Francisco, Chicago, not just people, but businesses to places like Florida and Tennessee and Texas.
So it can't just be about, hey, everything sucks, vote for me.
It's here's what I'm going to do to make things not suck anymore and be specific in that regard.
And with Donald Trump not there, the oxygen's not going to be taken out of the room with all the focus on him.
This frees up these folks to really discuss these issues and hammer this stuff home, and if somebody can have a breakout night, well, maybe it's a different ball game.
But right now, Donald Trump has a huge, huge lead, as we know.
Okay, so who's most likely Joe Contra to be the one to have the breakout night in your view?
The Vake Ramaswamy.
What I've seen from him over the last couple of months is somebody who has basically been flawless in interviews.
He will go anywhere as far as interviews, so he's unafraid.
And this is uh somebody who really has a lot of passion, authenticity.
If I were Donald Trump, he would be at the top of my list right now as far as vice presidential candidates, because remember, Trump is the consummate outsider, the successful businessman that went to Washington to take on that establishment.
That's the Vake Ramaswamy.
He's one of the youngest billionaires in the country, and it's all self-made.
So that's a story where you can't say, ah, that's swamp creature.
Can't say that about Vivek, and boy, can he the only thing lately he said a lot of kind of dumb things, hasn't he?
Like about nine eleven, etcetera.
He wasn't he we was talking about if there are any federal agents on those planes, but he he was asking in an if mode, not declaring that there were.
I think his point was, if I was to understood it correctly, was that we need commissions around what happened on January sixth in terms of the federal government's uh possible involvement, and I guess he drew a parallel back to September eleventh, how that had a commission as well.
So I think he did it clumsily, but overall I think uh he's he's been probably the best candidate so far on the Republican side.
Mark Simone, who's more more likely to break out tonight in your view.
Well, your strategy is correct.
You gotta sell your vision, you gotta hit all the right points.
The thing is I think every candidate's gonna do that.
So then it comes down to who can sell it, who's got the charisma, the personality.
That's Vivek Ramaswamy.
He is uh now, I don't know if he's ready to be president, but as far as being a salesman, he's the best of the bunch.
He'll steal the show.
The most underrated guy is Doug Bergum, although he's injured himself.
We don't know if he's uh gonna be able to do the debate tonight.
Hopefully he can.
Uh Mike Pence has the most uh uh on a resume, but uh and a lovely man, but Mike Pence has put more people to sleep than Mike Lindell.
So uh I don't know if that's gonna work.
Uh you know, it's just gonna be to me, I think for them this is an opportunity.
And it it'll it'll be interesting how much oxygen the the discussion about Donald Trump takes on.
Now, you know, it try and try and analyze why is Chris Christie in this debate?
Why is he on this stage?
Because it seems you know, all he wants to do is be a co-host of of Good Morning America with his buddy and his pal George Stephanopoulos, or Liberal Joe over at MSDNC, because he's on the shows constantly.
The only reason these liberal shows love him so much because he just is constantly bashing away at Donald Trump.
He said the other day, I'm glad to finally go to question uh that's not Donald Trump related.
No, he's not.
That is that is pretty much his entire platform, Joe Concha.
Oh, it's so true.
Look, I am the New Jersey guy on this panel that we're having right now, and I can tell you that when he left the state of New Jersey as governor, his approval rating was fourteen percent.
I mean it's hard to do.
Even Nixon was at like twenty-four percent when he resigned.
Fourteen.
So it's not like this guy has all this momentum coming out of a successful governorship.
Uh Chris Christie is doing this for two reasons.
One, it's personal with Donald Trump, because Christie probably thought that he would be attorney general.
Of course, Trump named Jeff Sessions instead.
And then even when he named Chris Christie to head his transition team, he replaced Christie after about five minutes with with Mike Pent.
So for Chris Christie, this is personal, and plus it's about making it about himself to get that next big TV contract, maybe a book deal, and be the darling of CNN and MSNBC in the meantime.
So for Chris Christie, this isn't about saving the country.
This is about going after Trump.
And now that Trump isn't there, Christie will probably go after DeSantis, I would imagine, because he's second right now.
But uh I I think the food fight would have been fun between the the fat jokes between Christie and Trump would have been tremendous, but now we we're robbed of that, so there's that.
Oh, the entertainment factor is definitely down with Trump not being there for sure, uh, Mark.
But what why is Christie on that stage?
Why is Asa on that stage?
Well, apparently you can buy your way on, you've got to get 40,000 donors.
Uh and they do that thing where you, you know, we'll send you a twenty dollar gift card if you send us a dollar, and that's how you get forty thousand.
Uh the problem with Christie, those insults are great.
Uh The Don Rickles routine livens up the debate.
He did it to Rubio, he did it to Ted Cruz, and although it livens up the debate, it doesn't get Christie a single vote.
He still went nowhere in the primaries.
It gets tired after a while and it'll do him absolutely no good.
Do you both agree with me, Mark, I'll start with you that the main target in the absence of Donald Trump is going to be Ron DeSantis.
Yeah, Ron, definitely Ron DeSantis, they're gonna knock him out, but I think Christie and others will go after Vivek a little because they know he's the next threat.
So they'll try to take out both those guys.
What do you think, Joe?
Same same deal, right?
I mean if DeSantis will be at as close to the center as it gets would be DeSantis and Vivek.
So the closer you are to the center the more you will probably be attacked.
But it's it's hard to attack DeSantis you're gonna go after his record in Florida.
You got crime at a 50 year low.
You have more businesses and people moving to that state than any other there's a reason for that and he won by nearly 20 points and one in blue county.
So I I they'll go after DeSantis but I don't think there's really a lot to go after but I'm gonna disagree with Mark on one thing here.
I think Donald Trump should have gone this to this debate tonight because it's not about winning the nomination.
This is about the general election and Donald Trump has some work to do as far as winning back suburban bombs, disgruntled Democrats, Hispanics and this is a huge platform, a huge audience that he's passing up and I remember before Iowa in 2016 he also decided not to debate right before the Iowa caucuses in 2016 he had a lead and Ted Cruz ended up winning that state.
I'm not saying that's going to happen here because the lead is much bigger but I think for a general election that's how Donald Trump should be thinking not I shouldn't be on stage with these guys because they have no chance against me.
Look at this as an opportunity to draw the real contrast with Joe Biden and Democrats and Trump would have owned the stage if he did that.
So that's why I think he should have been there tonight and hopefully he'll show up to some more debates.
Right now he's it sounds like he's saying he's not going to do any sort of that's what it sounds like what impact is are all these arrests, arraignments tomorrow is the Atlanta arraignment what impact is this going to have on Donald Trump long term Mark?
It's gonna do nothing but help him every arrest gives him a nice bump in the polls uh what about a trial and conviction in an election year?
You know if they just charge him with one thing and put him on trial maybe people would buy that but four separate places four separate fifty seven thousand counts facing a million New York do you think a Republican and a conservative or anybody with the last name Trump is going to get a fair trial in your lovey lovely New York City that you you have so passionate about?
No, but like if a cop gives you a speeding ticket maybe we're speeding if he then writes you forty seven tickets for every window and everything on your head you know he was just a bad cop who hated you.
So it too many indictments it looks fake to most people.
Joe I think you're making a good point Sean and that is that the Trump defense teams throughout all these trials have to go ninety eight for ninety eight.
In other words there are ninety eight counts against him.
So it's not like you know oh they only lost a couple accounts here all takes is one count and that that changes the dynamic in terms of whether Donald Trump is Oh I don't I don't even think this is an issue.
I don't think you can get a fair trial in New York or Washington DC or Fulton County for that matter.
I just don't I th I and the jury pool is tainted in such a way now you have to get you know all 12 jurors to agree that that is always you know that an uphill task but I I've got to imagine the jury pool is not favorable to Trump.
Only 12% of New York City residents those are Mark's neighbors uh voted for Donald Trump in DC it was a little over five percent and in Bulton County a whopping twenty-four percent not exactly Republican friendly areas that's the thing I mean how do you possibly find a a jury that's gonna look at this fairly and objectively they may just out of a personal animus for Donald Trump find him guilty of XYZ.
So that that's where there there's a real risk here.
So as far as the nomination the primaries yes he's getting a boost every time in the polls every time another indictment comes down but then the the jeopardy is that at least two of these trials according to Jonathan Turley who I respect he thinks that these are going to go forward in 2024 and could be completed in 2024 and as you said in those places uh that that's not a place where I'd want to be tried that's for sure.
And if I'm right Mark Simone, the his best shot would be on appeal.
Here's the problem though.
I mean they they vacated the guilty verdicts of Bob McDonald former Virginia governor uh That went all the way to the Supreme Court.
That took that was a three and a half year process to get those convictions overturned.
So you're going to have the trial.
If there's a guilty verdict, that'll be in the election year.
If he gets off on appeal, that will be post-election.
Is that fair to the election process?
No, it's election interference.
And you know, the guys we really turn to, Alan Dishowicz, Jonathan Trolley, those sort of guys, all say he'll win on appeal, but you're right.
He could get a conviction in a B-time.
I don't think he was ever going to be in jail.
I don't think the Secret Service would ever allow him to be in custody in jail.
Uh so it's only going to help him.
When he talks about how corrupt the system is, they're also giving you a dramatic demonstration of it as he tells you about it.
All right, quick break, right back, and we'll continue more Joe Contra Moore with Mark Simone on the other side, 800-941 Sean, our number.

So why do you love New York so much?
What what is wrong with you?
You're not watching what's going on in New York.
You're not seeing the crime go out of control.
You're not watching the high cost of living going out of control.
You're not watching, you know, a trillion dollars leaving Wall Street.
Why do you love this city so much?
I'm trying to understand it.
I'm looking out my window right now.
I can see Central Park.
I see a million tourists walking around.
I see everybody having fun.
By the way, did you hear what he just said, Linda?
I'm looking out my window at Central Park.
That means he's living, you know, high on the hog.
Let me guess, Upper East Cider, Central Park, uh park views, a penthouse apartment.
What do you got?
Well, you're not living in a shack.
I mean I'm not living in a shack.
I'm not claiming poverty here.
I'm just however, you know, I prefer sunset views over views of you know, concrete.
Listen, if Mark wants to look at the homeless people that have taken up camp in Central Park, by all means take a gander.
Get a good look.
You know what I'm thinking?
I think we're gonna move all those homeless people going to Randall's Island and Brooklyn.
I think we'll send them over to Mark Mark's way over in Central Park, and he can view that every day.
Uh well, I I didn't mention I can see a lot of them sleeping on the sidewalk right now.
Oh, you forgot that part.
And you still love this place.
It's it's uncanny to me.
Hey, sex in the city, Seinfeld, all the great TV shows.

You know, this guy uh Oliver Anthony, you know, whose song went so viral.
What was the name of that song?
I forget the name, but I always forget names of songs, Linda.
Richmen North of Richard.
Oh, the rich that's right, the Richmond north of Richmond.
So here's the coolest thing.
You know, he turned out eight million dollars from one of the big music houses.
And however, because you know, he puts it on iTunes and and all the places where you buy your music.
He's now making an estimated 40,000 dollars a day just on his own from his music.
He doesn't care about money.
He said, I don't care about any of that.
I don't even want to travel.
I don't know, I don't want to plane, I don't want uh, you know, 15 tractor trailers to sing my songs.
I just I just want to produce music, and the fact that people love it is just an added blessing to me.
Um, he's got his new song out.
I want to play it here.
Uh Brink of War.
Although it's kind of, you know, I'm ready to go home as sort of another name for it, Linda.
Is that I I want to go home.
So I want to go home.
Is actually the name of the song, but he talks about being on the brink of war.
But it's definitely I want to go home.
You know, and a part of it's sad.
I mean, he's he's seeing the world around him collapse, and you know, he's basically saying to God, I'm I want to get out of here.
I want to go to paradise where you are.
I mean, that that whole let not your heart be troubled, you know, in my father's house and many mansions, and I go and prepare a place for you so that where I am you shall also be, or Jesus on the cross saying, This day, you know, when when he has got one guy on one side spitting at him and yelling at him, saying, Well, if you're a king, get us off this cross, and the other guy's saying, I deserve to be here.
Uh, you don't.
Um, you know, and it's it's horrible what they're doing to you.
Uh will you please remember me when you go into your kingdom?
And Jesus turns to the guy and says, on the cross, well he's dying.
You know, this day you will be with me in paradise.
So I think that's what he's referring to, saying, you know, I want to go home.
Listen.
If you won't for my whole dogs and good lord, they'd have Mr. Cyclore.
One, two, many days to me.
Son, we're on the brink of the next world war, and I don't think nobody's praying no more.
And I ain't saying I know it's for sure.
I'm just down on my knees.
Begging the Lord, take me home.
I wanna go home.
I don't know, it's road to go.
I just know I didn't hear in this way.
Cussing myself every damn day.
There's always some kind of build pay.
People just doing what the rich man say I wanna go home Now four generations
Farm in the ground, and son saith to man out of town, and two weeks later, trees go down.
Oh my god.
Concrete going or ham.
I want to go home.
I want to go home.
I don't know which road goes.
So long.
Just know how did he still hang up feeling?
Man, this guy just makes you think with every song he puts out.
Although I may I don't know how he transitions to an upbeat song, Linda.
Honestly, I don't I don't think that he should.
You know, he has you know the cojones to say what nobody else is saying.
He's singing songs that people can relate to, and millions of people from all walks of life, all shapes and sizes and colors are out there going, Yeah, I feel that.
You know, I feel that doesn't go as far.
My kids are afraid to go to school.
I don't know what the hell they're teaching them.
I don't want drags, you know, drag queen story hour.
Yeah, I'm with you.
Absolutely.
Let's get back to basics and leadership.
Why are you against drag queen story hour?
Oh, listen, I called my principal the other day.
I was like, I need to know.
I need to know what we're doing this year.
I'm not about it.
And he, you know what?
He to his credit, he's like, Listen, we're not about that either.
If anything should happen, we'll, you know, we'll let you know.
I said, I find out anything like that happened to my kid, I'm gonna lose it.
It's not a thing.
Like, it's just not.
I want to go back to the news out of uh, well, if you remember when there was this group, the Wagner Group that was making their march towards Moscow with all the support of the Russian people that are discussed it with Vladimir Putin.
Anyway, the leader of this group is a guy by the name of Progoshin.
Well, the first report comes out today that he was killed in a in a plane crash.
Nine other people on board also dead.
And now uh there are reports that he was killed in a plane crash uh and it was shot down from the sky.
Do we ever get validation of this?
I'm pretty sure that's what one report said.
Uh, and he was remember, he made a deal, he stopped moving, and then he went to Belarus.
That was part of the deal that making peace with, I guess, Putin.
I mean, why is it that all these people Putin uh you ever get close to this guy, you end up being poisoned and killed or shot down out of the sky.
It's not this is was not a surprise to me.
I doubt it was a surprise to anybody to be honest.
Um, one hospital exec says the white race should be made to feel uncomfortable about their whiteness.
Maine hospital executive claiming white people are conditioned to be racist.
I love these broad sweeping generalizations.
Anyways, the vice president of DEI Maine Health Hospital System, 20,000 employees.
He has said hospitals cater overwhelmingly to white patients, which is reflected by local demographics.
And he refers to himself as a minister of a group called One Spirit.
And according to video obtained by Fox News.com, which has been since been scrubbed, he's shown teaching attendees how to be practitioners of anti-racism through a prayer that he dedicated to the loving spirits who are now known by many names.
He said that uh during prayer services, he himself maintains racist narratives and biases attributed those to his own skin color.
Uh, if you're uh admitting that you're a racist, that's your problem.
But there are plenty of people of all backgrounds, all races that are not racist.
So, you know, uh people should not be made to feel uncomfortable about what race they are.
Unbelievable.
One Florida school isolating black students at an assembly reportedly offered gift cards to improve scores.
I don't know what this flagler county Florida Elementary School, why they did this, forcing them to attend an assembly or improving their standardized test scores.
Uh, Fox 35 Orlando reporting last Friday, students in grades four and five were taken out of class to attend this assembly at the Bunnell Elementary School Cafeteria, a cafeteria, and students who perform well on standardized tests reportedly brought in front of the assembly and used as model examples as teachers discussed the test scores and offered gift cards to restaurants as rewards for improving their scores.
Anyway, students walking in the hallway to class, the news station got a confirmation from the school board chair that black students were isolated for the assembly, told them the station told the state the assembly should never have happened, though it did.
What what is going on here?
That makes absolutely no sense to me.
At all.
By the way, uh political leaders who raced to kick police officers out of schools after the death of George Floyd three years ago now are quietly bringing them back because of growing concerns about the brawls, the drugs, and the weapons that are now on campuses.
Three dozen school districts in the U.S. removed police officers from schools within a year after the death of George Floyd in May of 2020, and some of the nation's largest school systems, LA Unified School District, Chicago public schools, slashing funding for the police programs by as much as half.
And the void of campus police has been filled by nothing but violence and disorder.
Without law enforcement, many districts have found wild fighting, rampant drug use, and an alarming number of guns and knives on school property.
All right, let's go to John in San Diego.
What's up?
Kogo Radio.
John, how are you, sir?
Hey Sean, how are you doing?
Uh yesterday, uh one of those sound bites from Biden, he claimed that uh when the this accident happened that he was too young to be sworn into office.
Nobody has ever been too young to be sworn in office.
You can't run for office unless you're gonna be 30 years old on the day of of the swearing in ceremony.
He was he was elected in uh November of 72.
He turned 30 in no the end of November 72.
He would he was he was 30 six weeks before.
Everything he's ever said has been a lie about his life to make him sound smarter or better or more more ambitious, and and to and to overstate all this tragedies and all that been to to get uh sympathy for idiots to vote for him.
Well, I mean, how do I answer this?
I mean, this is a a good point you're making here.
I don't understand.
Let me play Joe Biden from Hawaii.
You want me to play it and remind everybody?
Sure.
All right, this is Biden in Hawaii.
Well, hello, people of Maui.
Senator Maisie, by the way, I told my granddaughter whose name is Maisie as well.
She said, That's why I like her.
Anyway, her name is Maisie as well.
Rick uh when we talked on the phone, I never uh you look like you played uh in defensive tackle for uh I don't know who, but it was somebody good.
At any rate, I want to thank you for your leadership.
And Jill and I have what's left uh walk front street was left of it.
You surveyed the damage from the air as well.
The devastation is overwhelming.
To date, a hundred and fourteen dead, hundreds of people unaccounted for.
I remember when I got the call, my first wife and daughter.
I was a young senator, and I got a call in Washington.
I hadn't been sworn in yet.
I wasn't old enough.
Now I'm gonna happy to turn this over to the governor, Governor Green.
And then he goes into this bizarre comparison about a small house fire that was extinguished in 20 minutes that nearly took out his Corvette and his cat.
I don't want to compare difficulties, but we have a little sense, Jill and I, what it's like to lose a home.
Years ago, now fifteen years ago, I was in Washington doing meet the press.
It was a sunny Sunday.
Lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home, not on a lake of big pond, and hit the wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducks.
Make a long story short, almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, and my cat.
I almost lost my wife, my 67 Corvette, my cat.
And then when he sees, you know, an animal that has, you know, some type of footing on because of the hot ground.
Man, that's hot ground, man.
I I mean, this handling of all this is nothing short of an embarrassing disgrace.
And I don't I this is why I say this guy is he's declining right before our very eyes.
He's getting worse every day, uh, John.
Well, well, he he all you know, he says he doesn't want to compare tragedies.
That's all he does in his entire life is compare tragedies, and his tragedy is always worse than yours.
And then nobody in this in the uh civilized world make tries to make stupid jokes at a ceremony like this where you're you're mourning maybe a thousand dead people.
Well, that's what they that's what he should be there for.
He should have been there to comfort them.
He shouldn't have waited.
Oh, I can't go uh you have any comment for the people of Hawaii?
No comment.
Not once, he did it twice.
And then, of course, well, I can't go now because I don't want to get in the way.
There's nothing to get in the way of, Joe.
Because there's nothing left in in mo a lot of these areas.
Nothing.
It's just so frustrating.
If he wanted to be a leader, if he wanted to be a leader, they would have already arrested that Manuel Cola guy.
That refused to allow water release.
That guy's a murderer.
Okay, they wouldn't let the water release, they didn't have the alarm system on, and all because of environmental radicalism.
Yes, good point.
Anyway, thank you, my friend.
