The Mark Simone Show

A two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran is now in effect, which includes the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. Mark also addresses the debate over whether destroying power plants and bridges during wartime constitutes a war crime, a widely held belief that is actually not supported under international law. Additionally, Bill Gates is reportedly set to testify in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein files. Mark notes that “two weeks” has become something of a signature phrase for President Trump. Mark interviews Boston radio host Howie Carr. The two discuss Trump’s recurring use of the phrase “two weeks,” and Howie weighs in with some skepticism, pressing for more details on the terms of the Iran-U.S. ceasefire. In election news, Republican Clay Fuller has won the special runoff election for Georgia’s 14th Congressional District, replacing former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. Mark and Howie also discuss Democrats’ use of the acronym TACO in reference to Trump. Mark shares his observations on social media posts from individuals displaying what he describes as serious Trump Derangement Syndrome. On the late-night TV front, as Stephen Colbert prepares to sign off from The Late Show on CBS, the network has announced that comedian and media mogul Byron Allen will take over the time slot with his show Comics Unleashed, under a time-buy agreement in which Allen pays CBS to air his programming. Mark notes this could significantly shift the late-night landscape. Mark interviews author Ann Coulter. The two have a lively conversation about the tendency of liberals to contradict themselves from one day to the next. Ann also shares a tweet that caught Mark’s eye, one that sparked discussion about the social trend of wearing gym clothes outside of the gym.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today at 8 p.m. ET is President Trump’s deadline for Iran to reach a deal or face massive strikes on its power plants, bridges, and more. Trump has warned that “the entire country can be taken out in one night,” and Iran has reportedly shut down talks with mediating countries as the clock ticks down. Mark breaks down the remarkable rescue of both crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran, a complex, multi-day operation involving hundreds of special forces troops and dozens of aircraft. May 21st is the final night of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Beginning May 22nd, CBS will hand over the 11:35 p.m. time slot to Byron Allen’s comedy series Comics Unleashed. Mark interviews Fox News contributor Liz Peek. Liz believes the chances that President Trump will follow through on striking Iranian infrastructure tonight are high. Zohran Mamdani’s push to raise taxes on corporations and wealthy New Yorkers risks driving big business and high earners out of the city. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is pushing a redistricting referendum ahead of the April 21st vote, but her approval rating has cratered, and the effort is facing growing unpopularity, with early voting in Republican districts outpacing Democratic ones. Left-wing media networks are bracing for tonight’s 8 p.m. deadline, and Mark asks whether shows like these have essentially become therapy for Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers. Mark also reveals details about what Trump’s planned presidential library in Miami will feature, including a towering skyscraper with Trump’s name in gold lettering, a golden escalator, a replica of the Oval Office, a golden statue of Trump with his fist raised, and Air Force One on display. Mark interviews streaming host Bill O’Reilly. Bill breaks down why Democrats manufacture a new narrative about Trump every day, whether it’s accusing him of “war crimes” or something else entirely, and how that machine operates. There is significant confusion inside the Department of War right now. Trump believes Iran was weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon, though questions remain about the clarity of his overall strategy. The deeper question: why did the Mullahs want a nuclear weapon in the first place, and what does that tell us about how this war ends?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Over the weekend, the U.S. military successfully rescued both crew members of an F-15E Strike Eagle that was shot down over Iran. Mark breaks down how the dramatic rescue operation unfolded. While the airman was hiding in the mountains of Iran, the IRGC offered a $60,000 reward for any Iranian who could locate the crew member. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fired Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, along with two other generals, in a significant shakeup at the Pentagon amid the ongoing war with Iran. Savannah Guthrie returned to the TODAY show anchor desk this morning for the first time since her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her Arizona home on February 1. Mark interviews NY Post columnist Michael Goodwin. The discussion turns to President Trump’s recent social media posts directed at Iran, including a comment about Muslims, and whether the media holds Trump to the same standard it held President Biden. Michael argues that Trump’s willingness to go after the press is a key reason why the double standard exists. Michael also weighs in on NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he approaches his first 100 days in office, with the city’s budget crisis front and center. President Trump is holding a press conference today on the state of the Iran war. A Tuesday deadline looms: Trump has threatened to strike Iranian energy plants and bridges if a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz is not reached. Iran has vowed to retaliate hard if the U.S. follows through on those strikes. SNL’s Weekend Update sparked major backlash after host Michael Che made a joke widely interpreted as a reference to the assassination of President Trump, drawing outrage from across the political spectrum. Bruce Springsteen made headlines after delivering a sharply political speech at his Minneapolis concert, calling the Trump administration “corrupt, incompetent, racist, reckless, and treasonous.” Trump fired back on Truth Social, calling Springsteen a “total loser” and urging MAGA supporters to boycott his concerts. Meanwhile, NASA’s Artemis II mission has been dealing with a recurring toilet malfunction aboard the Orion spacecraft, and a frozen vent line has prevented the crew from properly flushing urine overboard. However, the issue has been resolved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
