I can't get enough of Mark Simone.

0:03.0

710 W.O.R.

0:05.1

Well, Joe Concha is the great columnist and TV guy.

0:09.6

You see him all over television, a Fox News contributor.

0:12.7

You can read his columns in the Washington Examiner.

0:15.0

And he's a best-selling author.

0:17.1

His new book is just about to come out.

0:18.7

You should go order it right now.

0:21.6

It's a great book. It's on the Trump campaign. It's called The Greatest Comeback Ever. Go order the book now.

0:28.1

Joe Concha, how you doing?

0:30.9

Cold today, Mark. We had a nice warm day yesterday. Teased us a little bit here in New York,

0:34.8

but yeah, definitely a cold one out there. But it's getting hot.

0:35.0

Donald Trump and tariffs, Japan coming to the table. Yeah. Maybe zero for zero. And things are going in the right direction after we had, obviously, that volatility a week and a half two weeks ago. You know, if you're a great coach and you're coming up with a play, you think, well, this is a good, but don't do this. because if I do this, they'll do that.

0:37.1

You've got to figure out the chess moves.

1:50.7

Democrats aren't doing that. They're fighting for this gang member. It's going to turn out he is a gang member. They're screaming about tariffs. It'll all get settled. Why don't they think ahead a few moves? It's kind of like watching a Yankee game, and you have a pitcher up there who keeps throwing all these balls in the dirt and, you know, over the batter's head, and the batters keep swinging on all the bad pitches. That's what Democrats are doing. They're swinging at all the bad pitches. And they're reactionary, like hour to hour, day to day. They're not, they don't have a long game, right? Because they don't have a leader. Therefore, they don't have, they can't coalesce around a single message. And you, you see Chris Van Hollen. He's a senator from the state of Maryland. He's literally flying to El Salvador today to try to bring back the guy who entered the country illegally. Therefore, he lost all due process when he did that because he broke the law and then was part of the MS-13 gang.

1:55.5

And this guy is going to back for this person who clearly should have been deported.

2:05.8

And meanwhile, there was a young girl in the state of Maryland who was murdered by a Venezuelan gang member, and Chris Van Hollen barely said a word about that, didn't even attend the funeral services.

2:13.6

So, yeah, they're taking the side of illegal gang members in the country, and it's just, forget 820 issues.

2:18.2

This is like a 99-1 issue, or 99 support, and one are against, and the one that that's against is drunk probably. That's where they're at and that they keep walking into this trap and

2:22.8

stepping on this rake every time. Yeah. And the social security yelling about social security,

2:29.7

well, it's not going to get cut. In fact, he'll probably end up making a tax free, which will be

2:33.1

an increase. Don't they realize they're going to go downhill with all of this stuff? Yeah, it reminds me, remember the 2000 debates between Al Gore and George W. Bush and Al Gore droning on about the lockbox. Want to put Social Security in a lock box. You know, they're like, oh, and you're just falling asleep trying to watch this guy. But yeah, it's the same old tactics that they always use. That's, yes, Republicans want to cut Social Security and they want to cut Medicare and Medicaid and, you know, as Sean Hannity always says, you know, and they want to push Granny off a cliff, right? It's just fearmongering because, you know, we never hear, Mark? I never hear a plan.
