The Mark Simone Show

President Trump’s big meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping is being called a success, but a lot of people are asking: Will China really stick to the deal? Trump wasn’t even allowed to use his cell phone because of Chinese rules! He also sat down for an exclusive with Sean Hannity and dropped a bunch of details about deals with China, Iran, and more. A major sinkhole opened up at Exit 49 on the Long Island Expressway yesterday. Mark explained what caused it and said it’s a story to watch. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz thinks Trump may have convinced Xi to get Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, since Iran is such a close ally of China. But she says there was no official agreement signed. She also pointed out that China didn’t expect so many big-name CEOs (especially from tech) would show up with Trump, and she thinks Trump might have to get tough on Iran again to keep his word. On top of that, China is struggling with oil supply and new business. Palm Beach International Airport will be renamed Trump International Airport, which is sure to fire up the Democrats. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris is scaring both Democrats and Republicans with talk of a 2028 presidential run. Reality star Spencer Pratt says he’s running for Mayor of LA and is getting a lot of attention. Plus, David Letterman and Stephen Colbert were spotted celebrating the end of Colbert’s show. Mark interviews radio legend Scott Shannon. Scott's oldies channel is getting a lot of buzz from people who want to bring his music everywhere they go. He described the kind of content on the channel that will really make you want to listen in. If you ordered a Trump Phone, there’s a shipping delay. Scott also looked back at his long career in New York radio and shared some great stories.

President Trump is meeting with President Xi Jinping in China. One of the main topics is China’s interest in Taiwan, which remains a key issue in U.S.-China relations. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israel is planning legal action against The New York Times, alleging the paper has published anti-Semitic content. Jerome Powell will remain on the Federal Reserve Board after serving as Fed Chair. Kevin Warsh has been named as the new incoming Fed Chair. Mark interviews economist Steve Moore. Steve discusses Taiwan’s strong economy compared to China, noting this as a possible motivation for China’s interest in Taiwan. He also points out that China receives more oil through the Strait of Hormuz than the U.S. does. Steve mentions the current global shortage of fertilizer and suggests that President Trump could consider lifting tariffs on fertilizer imports. President Trump is most likely taking extra security precautions in China due to concerns about surveillance, including the possibility of microphones in hotels and meeting rooms. Dr. Anthony Fauci, prominent in the U.S. COVID-19 response, has faced criticism regarding some of his guidance during the pandemic. A left-leaning leader currently leads the UK government. Mark suggests that if UK voters become dissatisfied, there could be a shift toward more conservative policies, which could also be reflected in future U.S. elections. Mark interviews WOR weeknight host Jimmy Failla. Jimmy comments that the liberal leanings of most late-night TV hosts may be contributing to declining ratings and affecting public perception. He and Mark also discuss the popularity of Johnny Carson’s former home and why it attracts so many visitors.

President Trump rolled out a new nickname for the Democrats. He’s also talking up a possible name change for ICE to NICE, which he’s apparently a big fan of. Mark breaks down how little gas stations actually make from selling gas, pointing out that most of what we pay goes straight to taxes or other fees, not to the stations themselves.

John digs into the latest inflation numbers—up 3.8 percent over last year, the biggest jump in three years. It’s not just gas getting pricier; things like clothes and other everyday items are rising, too. California’s got a mess with oil prices, mostly because it’s tough to get oil shipped into the state. Mark and John wrap up by wondering if the U.S. might be able to work out a deal with China. Mark shares a story highlighting President Trump’s construction skills and how a skating rink renovation at Madison Square Garden may be completed much faster than expected. He also addresses recent reports that the Hantavirus is not considered a threat by officials, including those in Washington, D.C. He also covers news that Gavin Newsom has secured a major donor for his rumored 2028 presidential campaign.  Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. Bill emphasizes the importance of thoroughly briefing the president ahead of diplomatic trips, such as Trump’s current visit to China. O’Reilly offers advice on effective negotiation strategies with the Chinese and predicts that Iran will likely be the primary topic of discussion at the U.S.-China meeting. Both Bill and Mark express confidence in President Trump’s safety during his trip, believing the likelihood of any incidents is low.

Big shake-ups in the primaries last night, Indiana saw several senators who opposed Trump’s policies lose their races, and in Ohio, Trump-backed candidates, including Vivek Ramaswamy, picked up wins. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was at the podium yesterday, filling in for Karoline Leavitt (she’s out on maternity leave), and got grilled about the war in Iran. Rubio hinted that the end might be in sight, but there are still hurdles to clear. Mark breaks it down for us. Mayor Mamdani is pushing his socialist agenda so hard that it’s blocking out any practical talk about how big players like Ken Griffin, who is a billionaire, actually help keep the city afloat with their tax dollars. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. Howie’s got strong opinions; he thinks Trump shouldn’t lift the blockade in Iran. And some sad news: Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, passed away at 87. Mark shares some memories about Turner and the early days of CNN, which launched back in 1980. And speaking of Indiana, those state senators who fought against Trump’s redistricting efforts got wiped out in the primaries, a huge win for Team Trump. In New York, Mayor Mamdani seems more like a salesman than a politician lately, raising questions about how that approach is affecting the city. Mark and Howie also talk about JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom, how they might have had a leg up before their big political gigs. Remember when the speed limit got dropped from 75 to 55 mph back in 1979 to save gas? Mark draws a line to today’s foreign policy, where the U.S. is blocking the Strait of Hormuz, creating gas lines, and crippling Iran’s economy. A reminder: Ted Turner died at 87, and Mark takes a moment to reflect on his legacy. And mark your calendars, May 21st is the last night for Late Night with Stephen Colbert. Actor Charlie Sheen wrote in his book about tuning into Newsmax and realizing their coverage might be more truthful than what you get from networks like MSNOW or CNN. He even drops some names you’ll recognize. Maybe there’s hope for TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) in Hollywood after all! Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel told Sean Hannity on his podcast about finding a secret room in D.C. stuffed with fake Russian classified documents in burn bags. Out in California, Cedars-Sinai Hospital’s Nurse Matthew Shaffer posted something awful on X. He said he was disappointed the latest Trump assassin missed. The hospital responded but chose not to discipline him.

Former mayor Rudy Giuliani was in a coma, a fact that wasn’t revealed until after his admission to the hospital for pneumonia on Sunday. Yankees broadcaster Michael Kay paid tribute to the late, great John Sterling while calling last night’s game. Fans at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx honored Sterling with a huge tribute. A UAE cutter may join the fight against Iran, depending on what happens with ships, drones, or missiles at the Strait of Hormuz. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says having the Strait blocked benefits the USA, but it’s crippling Iran’s economy to the point where they can’t pay their soldiers. Mark recaps last night’s Met Gala, noting how the event has changed over the years. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. Mark and Michael discuss how the US relationship with the British has shifted since King Charles visited Manhattan last week, and how this decline may reflect a broader trend across Europe. They also talk about rising American anxiety over the war in Iran and whether time is running out for regime change. The City of New York is struggling to pass the state budget, partly due to Mayor Mamdani’s promise to provide more free services to residents. The Tony Awards nominations are out, and Pink is set to host the show on CBS. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was pressed about possible insider trading but dodged the question. Former mayor Eric Adams used to call Michael Bloomberg for advice when making big decisions for New York City; maybe more mayors should try that, such as Mamdani. Stephen Colbert’s run as CBS’s late-night host is wrapping up soon, so what’s next for the Ed Sullivan Theater in NYC? Mark has a few ideas. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. They discuss Barack Obama’s aim to be a kingmaker for Democrats in 2028, believing the party is in decline. Bill and Mark touch on how mistakes by Michelle and Barack Obama have led to different outcomes for each. They also talk about how tough it is for a President to think clearly with constant pressure, especially Trump, and how this plays out with the current Iran war. Bill notes that networks such as NewsDay and more are censoring stories, leaving viewers confused, like in the recent Long Island Wendy’s stabbing case that sparked major attention.

Should President Trump wear a bulletproof vest, considering all the threats against him lately? Yesterday, Democrats pressed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth about accusations of insider trading and secret deals, but there’s no solid proof behind these claims. Hegseth stood by the administration’s decision to go to war with Iran over concerns about nuclear weapons. Mark interviews Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett. Greg and Mark debate the bizarre story about James Comey and some seashells, and how it might tie into talk of an indictment. Greg thinks Comey has a habit of acting like there’s trouble around Trump when there really isn’t. He also suggests that rumors about Comey’s indictment could be linked to his book sales. Greg points out that the First Amendment doesn’t protect threats against the President, which could make things interesting for Comey in court. Mark talks about how Democrats have tried to redraw voting districts in some states, which he says would make it harder for white voters to have a say. The Supreme Court of the United States also made headlines this week with a decision that scales back parts of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.  Governor Kathy Hochul is pushing a new law to ban ICE from operating anywhere in New York. With the governor’s race heating up, she’s also expected to go after some of Bruce Blakeman’s campaign points. Manhattan’s busiest Trader Joe’s, at 72nd and Broadway, is closing for renovations on May 17th. Mark interviews political consultant Roger Stone. Roger shares his side of the story after his legal battles connected to the Mueller investigation, discussing his experience after former FBI director James Comey accused him of lying under oath to Congress. Both Stone and Comey were charged with similar crimes of lying under oath. Tulsi Gabbard played a key role in declassifying documents that pointed to a conspiracy involving Comey, Obama, Biden, and others, which she was able to accomplish thanks to her appointment by President Trump in 2016.
