The Mark Simone Show on 710 WOR.

Hey, Joe Concha, of course, the great bestselling author.

And you see them all over Fox News and Fox Business.

And you should get his latest book.

It's already a big bestseller, but you love this book.

It's called The Greatest Comeback Ever Inside Trump's big beautiful campaign.

President Trump was a big part of the book.

He loves the book, Get the Book, The Greatest Comeback Ever by Joe Concha.

Joe Concha, how you doing?

Yeah, Mark, it's easy to be a New York Times bestseller when the president himself endorses the book on social media.

And you're like, all right, he's got a couple of followers. This could certainly help, and thank you as well with your endorsement, the president's a lot of success with this one. Oh, it's a great book. Hey, every day, well, it's every few days. They come up with some story. Garcia got deported to El Salvador. They come up with something. and they yell and scream about it like maniacs for two days. It doesn't work. It fizzles.

Then they drop it. Garcia got deported to El Salvador. They come up with something. They yell and scream about it like maniacs for two days.

It doesn't work. It fizzles. Then they drop it. So the one today is Musk is against Trump on the bill. This is going to be, when will they figure out it doesn't mean a damn thing. No, it doesn't mean a damn thing. Elon Musk doesn't work in government anymore. And in this case, Musk is incorrect in terms of him wanting Doge cuts in this big beautiful bill. I don't want to get into the weeds

too much, Mark, but basically the big beautiful bill deals with mandatory spending cuts, right? With

Doge, that's discretionary, right? And that has to be done in a separate bill. And the president and Mike Johnson, Congress, John Thune, the Senate, they all say that, yeah, that is coming. There will be separate bills with the doge cuts. So I'm not quite sure where Musk is coming from in terms of saying, well, the bill's an abomination. I guess he's saying that's going to add to the national debt. But at the same time, there's so many great things in this bill, including extending the Trump tax cuts and finishing the wall and obviously all the deregulation, and particularly when it comes to energy, where no bill is going to be perfect, right? And there's such a slim majority in the House and Senate that not everybody's going to be happy with it. But overall, when you look at the pros and the cons, I think the pros definitely outweigh the cons. And if this thing doesn't pass, then say hello to Hakeem Jeffries as your House Speaker in 2026 and say hello to impeachment once again of Donald Trump, which will just cripple and paralyze Washington for two years. So Republicans and Musk really need to be thinking of the big picture here.

No, but again, it's not going to affect. It may actually help get the bill passed because the

Democratic argument is that it's got draconian cuts in it. The budget cuts are unbelievable.

But now you've got Musk saying it's not that many cuts in it. So maybe it'll help in a way.

Yeah, good point. So, but what is it with this media now? They've got to have some crazy thing that they try for three days. I remember last week it was Taco, Taco, Trump always chickens up. This was going to be the one that got him. And then after three days, they realized nobody cares. It's not doing it. Nobody cares. No one gets it. Do you understand the Taco meme taco mean because i don't i don't get what they're trying to say and and

democrats all over social media they even even put a taco truck outside the

republican national committee no one gets it it's like their children like drunk

children so now i don't get it all and you're right about our media i mean mean, with this attack that happened in Boulder, for example, I'm just writing about it
