0:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is the Mark Simon Shell on sevent tenor.
0:10
Speaker 2: Hey, well, thank god it Friday. Oh my god, glad
0:14
Speaker 2: they get this week over with. We got a lot
0:16
Speaker 2: to get to. We'll get to a crazy mom Donnie,
0:20
Speaker 2: and what's he going to do with the police department.
0:22
Speaker 2: We've got some intel on that. We'll get to that
0:26
Speaker 2: coming up. We'll get to at least Stephonic running for governor.
0:28
Speaker 2: There should be the end of Kathy Hoko. We'll get
0:32
Speaker 2: to MSNBC. They're in their final week now of being MSNBC,
0:39
Speaker 2: and a lot more to get to the shutdown. There
0:41
Speaker 2: might be some kind of vote today, not necessarily to
0:44
Speaker 2: end the shutdown, but to begin towards the end of
0:48
Speaker 2: the Who knows what these people are going to do.
0:50
Speaker 2: The shutdown continues today's day. They do that ten cut
0:54
Speaker 2: in flights at a lot of airports. Now, it sounds bad,
0:59
Speaker 2: and it is bad, but it's not as bad as
1:01
Speaker 2: you think because we did this before. Remember they were
1:03
Speaker 2: having problems with Newark Airport and the controllers, traffic controllers,
1:06
Speaker 2: and it was all messed up, and they decided to
1:09
Speaker 2: cut the flights ten percent for a while. So we
1:12
Speaker 2: went through this already at Newark. They'll do this at
1:15
Speaker 2: a number of airports, and what they cut are the
1:18
Speaker 2: emptiest flights they can find. They are not a lot
1:20
Speaker 2: of empty flights nowadays, but some less populated than others.
1:24
Speaker 2: They'll cut those and combine them. So if you're traveling,
1:28
Speaker 2: you'll see some delays. You'll also see.
1:30
Speaker 3: Some really crowded, cramped planes, fewer flights and more people
1:35
Speaker 3: on each plane shutdown. The problem is the polling is
1:41
Speaker 3: all over the map. Some show that the Republicans are
1:43
Speaker 3: getting the blame, some show Democrats are getting the blame.
1:48
Speaker 3: One of the problems it's hard to poll because President
1:52
Speaker 3: Trump the idea when he did the shutdown was to
1:54
Speaker 3: make it as the least painful that he could make it.
1:59
Speaker 3: Don't cut anything they don't have to cut down. And
2:00
Speaker 3: you know when Obama did the shutdown, he was the opposite.
2:04
Speaker 3: He tried to make it as painful as possible. They
2:06
Speaker 3: wanted to make the Republicans look bad, so they closed
2:09
Speaker 3: down a lot more than they had to close down.
2:11
Speaker 3: They closed down everything, and they deliberately tried to make
2:15
Speaker 3: it very painful for the public. They closed down things
2:17
Speaker 3: that you didn't even need to close it either, were
2:20
Speaker 3: World War Two monuments that don't require any staffing of
2:23
Speaker 3: any kind, but they still close those down, that put
2:26
Speaker 3: that yellow barricade tape all over it, just to make
2:29
Speaker 3: it look as ugly as they could. The president doing
2:32
Speaker 3: the opposite. Here. Hey Elis Stefanic has announced she is
2:36
Speaker 3: running for governor. This was not unexpected. Here she is.
2:42
Speaker 4: It is clear we need a new generation leader to
2:45
Speaker 4: step up and bring common sense and deliver results the
2:48
Speaker 4: issues that I hear from not just in my district,
2:50
Speaker 4: but all across the state. People are struggling with high
2:52
Speaker 4: taxes in New York State. It's an affordability crisis. If
2:55
Speaker 4: you look at utility rates, insurance rates, it is running
2:58
Speaker 4: families and small businesses out of this.
3:01
Speaker 3: Okay, see now it's an interesting situation. You just had
3:04
Speaker 3: a guy win the mayoralty, a Democrat, and he ran
3:08
Speaker 3: on affordability and that sort of stuff, which is odd
3:12
Speaker 3: because it's the Democrats that caused it. The Democrats have
3:16
Speaker 3: run every inch in New York for the last fifteen years.
3:19
Speaker 3: Democrats at mayors, governors, legislature, city council. The whole thing's
3:25
Speaker 3: been run by Democrats. So if it's an affordability crisis
3:28
Speaker 3: and this crisis, and in that crisis, it's all the
3:30
Speaker 3: Democrats fault. It would make sense to switch parties if
3:34
Speaker 3: that party just gave you all these problems, switch parties
3:37
Speaker 3: so it'll be easier for Stephonic to campaign on that.
3:41
Speaker 3: Hochel can try campaigning on affordability. But she's been in
3:44
Speaker 3: charge for eight years, and before that, Cuomo for years,
3:49
Speaker 3: and it's her legislature, all Democrats, So it's going to
3:52
Speaker 3: be tough, very to Here's the Stephanic's first campaign commercial.
3:56
Speaker 1: From the ashes of Kathy Hockel's failed Policy's New York
4:01
Speaker 1: real Wise, like we always do, the spirit of the
4:06
Speaker 1: empire state cannot be broken. All we need is a
4:09
Speaker 1: courageous leader ready for the fight. A least Dephonic will
4:14
Speaker 1: make New York affordable and safe.
4:18
Speaker 3: Now Stephanic an upstate congresswoman, and you remember in those
4:23
Speaker 3: hearings where Hokel had to testify in the congressional hearings,
4:26
Speaker 3: it was Stephonic that really went after her on crime,
4:29
Speaker 3: on everything else. I want to make sure you understand
4:32
Speaker 3: that this simply says that we will cooperate with Ice.
4:35
Speaker 4: No, it does not say that. I read what it says,
4:37
Speaker 4: and let me talk to you about the results. Do
4:39
Speaker 4: you know who secure a kan is? You should as
4:41
Speaker 4: the governor of New York State? Do you know refresh
4:45
Speaker 4: my recollection? He was an illegal migrant in New York
4:48
Speaker 4: and do you know what crime he committed in addition
4:50
Speaker 4: to being here legally?
4:51
Speaker 2: No, I do not, you do not.
4:53
Speaker 4: This was widely reported. He found a fifteen year old girl,
4:56
Speaker 4: threatened her with a metal pull, told her to get
4:59
Speaker 4: into the ac seat of his car. He took her
5:01
Speaker 4: clothes off, and he violently raped her in Albany, New York.
5:05
Speaker 3: Yeah. Now, Hokel had a really rough time testifying in
5:08
Speaker 3: front of Stefanic. I'm sure this will be used in commercials.
5:10
Speaker 2: These are horrific crimes.
5:11
Speaker 4: In their heart, they're horrific crimes that are committed on
5:14
Speaker 4: your watch. You sign this executive order on your first
5:17
Speaker 4: day in office. You sign it again and again this January.
5:22
Speaker 4: We deserve a governor who stands up for law abiding
5:25
Speaker 4: New Yorkers, doesn't put illegals first, but actually puts New
5:28
Speaker 4: Yorkers first. I appreciate.
5:30
Speaker 1: Rather than after the viral moment, I suggest.
5:32
Speaker 4: You no, no, no, I'm standing up for New Yorkers zone.
5:34
Speaker 4: Rather than addressing the illegals in New York, you are
5:37
Speaker 4: prioritizing your far left sanctuary state policies which you put
5:41
Speaker 4: in place with executive orders.
5:43
Speaker 3: So based on this kind of stuff, it would be
5:45
Speaker 3: pretty easy I think for Stefanic to beat Hochel in
5:48
Speaker 3: any debate. Now is the only complication for Stephanic. Bruce Blakeman,
5:54
Speaker 3: I'm hearing wants to run for governor. Bruce Blakeman is
5:57
Speaker 3: the best county executive in America, done a phenomenal job
6:01
Speaker 3: in Nassau County, just got re elected. Governor's race would
6:04
Speaker 3: be next year would be you know, Nassau County will
6:07
Speaker 3: not be happy to lose Blakeman, but it's worth it
6:09
Speaker 3: if he can be the governor because then he can
6:11
Speaker 3: fix the whole state. So at least Stephonic would have
6:15
Speaker 3: to go through a primary battling Bruce Blakeman. That won't
6:18
Speaker 3: be easy. I mean, you know, I'd have to go
6:22
Speaker 3: with Blakeman on that. You know, like Stephonic, but Blakeman's
6:26
Speaker 3: the best, and in aal not national, but a big
6:30
Speaker 3: statewide race for governor, New York City is half the
6:34
Speaker 3: votes in a governor's race. New York City is half
6:37
Speaker 3: the votes. Now, if you study the history of this,
6:40
Speaker 3: you got to win at least thirty five percent of
6:42
Speaker 3: New York City as a Republican to get elected governor,
6:46
Speaker 3: you got to win thirty five percent of New York City.
6:48
Speaker 3: It's not easy to do as a Republican. But in
6:51
Speaker 3: the primary, that's a little different. So it would be
6:52
Speaker 3: Blakeman against Stephonic in the primary, and who knows, who
6:57
Speaker 3: knows who else the other people will jump in there.
7:00
Speaker 3: He know, maybe Andrew Giuliani will try it again. Maybe
7:04
Speaker 3: who knows, Maybe Lee Zelden Board in Washington may come
7:08
Speaker 3: try it again. But Blakeman Stephonic. It's a great situation
7:13
Speaker 3: to have a couple of great candidates. So we'll see
7:15
Speaker 3: who gets through that primary. Mom, Donnie, Now, the big,
7:20
Speaker 3: big nightmare is the police department. That's the problem. He's
7:25
Speaker 3: already named five people on his transition team. They're all
7:28
Speaker 3: ex to Blasio, people to Blasio administration, one's from the
7:32
Speaker 3: Adams administration. But the most important thing is keep people safe.
7:36
Speaker 3: If you got safe streets, you got everything. So will
7:40
Speaker 3: Jessica Tish stay as police commissioners? She hadn't said anything yet.
7:46
Speaker 3: Now this could get interesting. We'd want her to stay.
7:49
Speaker 3: She's done a good job. She might not stay just
7:52
Speaker 3: simply because she doesn't want to work with Mom Donnie,
7:54
Speaker 3: or she doesn't like some of his policies. And if she,
7:57
Speaker 3: you know, she'll want to run against him in four years,
8:00
Speaker 3: so she may not want to stay if she leaves.
8:03
Speaker 3: Who's the police commissioner. This is the big fear with
8:05
Speaker 3: Mom Donnie. Everybody thinks he's going to put Al Sharpton
8:09
Speaker 3: in charge of the police department or something like that,
8:12
Speaker 3: some crazy left wing sort of a character. This is
8:15
Speaker 3: the big, big worry. But this is not bad news.
8:20
Speaker 3: Apparently this is from the inside of the Mam Donnie world.
8:24
Speaker 3: If he has to pick up police commissioner right now,
8:27
Speaker 3: highest on his list is the Suffolk County Police Commissioner,
8:31
Speaker 3: Rodney Harrison, and he's not a bad guy. Rodney Harrison,
8:36
Speaker 3: Suffolk County Police Commissioner. He's been there for a couple
8:38
Speaker 3: of years. He ran the he actually ran the department
8:43
Speaker 3: and left at the end of Steve Balloone's term as
8:47
Speaker 3: county executive. But he's the guy that he formed the
8:49
Speaker 3: task force that finally got the Gilgo Beach serial killer.
8:53
Speaker 3: He was with the NYPD. He retired in twenty twenty
8:56
Speaker 3: one as chief of department. That's the highest uniform position,
9:00
Speaker 3: and so everybody thinks he's a good guy police. Former
9:02
Speaker 3: police Commissioner of Suffolk Rodney KA Harrison looks like that
9:06
Speaker 3: right now would be Mom Donnie's choice. And if Jessica
9:09
Speaker 3: Tish will stay, it looks like they'll make Harrison the
9:14
Speaker 3: deputy mayor in charge of public safety, so he'd be
9:18
Speaker 3: overseeing her and I don't know what their relationship is
9:23
Speaker 3: or she'd want to work under him, But we'll see, Tish.
9:28
Speaker 3: I think we'll wait and see who's appointed, who's going
9:30
Speaker 3: to be what before she decides anything. Now, for the
9:34
Speaker 3: last thirty years, new mayors have always ended up bringing
9:37
Speaker 3: in their own police commissioner. It's just tradition, you know.
9:42
Speaker 3: When Rudy Giuliani took over, Ray Kelly was the police
9:45
Speaker 3: commissioner out. He's the greatest police commissioner ever ever. And
9:51
Speaker 3: I remember talking to Rudy Juliana at the time. He
9:53
Speaker 3: knew that. He just said, I can't keep you know,
9:56
Speaker 3: a previous guy. I have to have my own commissioner.
9:58
Speaker 3: They're some just think they got to have their own
10:00
Speaker 3: person in there. So it's highly unusual to keep a
10:03
Speaker 3: police commissioner. We'll see if this is the one time
10:06
Speaker 3: where it actually actually happens. Now, you keep hearing everybody's
10:10
Speaker 3: gonna leave. People are all going to run away from
10:12
Speaker 3: New York. They always say they said that when Deblasio
10:15
Speaker 3: so off. Some people did, but not as many as
10:18
Speaker 3: your thought. It's not as bad as you think. George
10:22
Speaker 3: Santos has announced he's leaving New York's. George Santos leaving
10:27
Speaker 3: New York. He lives in Queen's actually, so he said
10:30
Speaker 3: he can't stay here under mom Donnie. But I don't
10:34
Speaker 3: think that's a great loss that George Santos is leaving. Now,
10:37
Speaker 3: you could say, well, why don't he just move to
10:38
Speaker 3: Nassau County, Bruce Blakeman, you can trust him. Well, that's
10:43
Speaker 3: where Santos had all his trouble in Nassau County. I
10:46
Speaker 3: don't think he wants to go back there. Hey, congratulations
10:49
Speaker 3: Elon Musk, who was the richest man in the world.
10:53
Speaker 3: That's quite an honor, quite a headline. To be the
10:56
Speaker 3: single richest man on earth. That's an incredible, unbelievable accomplishment. Well,
11:01
Speaker 3: now another accomplishment. He's now the highest paid guy in
11:05
Speaker 3: the history of the world. Biggest compensation package ever in
11:09
Speaker 3: the history of the world. Tesla the board of directors
11:12
Speaker 3: approved his new pay package, which is the new pay
11:16
Speaker 3: package is one trillion dollars with a T one trillion dollars.
11:24
Speaker 3: It's unbelievable. But apparently he threatened to leave the company
11:27
Speaker 3: if he didn't get it, and the Tesla board was
11:32
Speaker 3: scared as can be. They don't think the company can
11:34
Speaker 3: exist without Musk. Now, to get the trillion, he'll have
11:38
Speaker 3: to hit a series of performance marks. He's fifty four
11:42
Speaker 3: years old. He uh oh, hey, he's still the richest guy.
11:45
Speaker 3: He's the richest guy in the world. Four hundred and
11:47
Speaker 3: ninety billion. Four hundred and ninety billion. I think about that.
11:55
Speaker 3: If you had four billion, you'd be unbelievably rich. But
11:58
Speaker 3: four hundred and ninety billion. Let's say there was a
12:01
Speaker 3: hole in your pocket and you didn't know it, and
12:05
Speaker 3: ninety billion fell out of your pocket and you lost it.
12:09
Speaker 3: You're still worth four hundred billion. It wouldn't really matter.
12:12
Speaker 3: I don't even know why you even work. This is
12:14
Speaker 3: like five hundred billion. If you put that, if you
12:18
Speaker 3: just invested it, you'd have five billion a year in income.
12:22
Speaker 3: Five billion a year in income. You couldn't spend that
12:24
Speaker 3: if you tried. But guys like this love to work.
12:27
Speaker 3: He'll be awarded all kinds of stock in twelve tranches
12:30
Speaker 3: first round. If it hits, there's all kinds of targets
12:38
Speaker 3: you have to have to sell. He has to deliver
12:39
Speaker 3: twenty million vehicles, Tesla hats, has to hit two trillion
12:43
Speaker 3: in valuation. He has to deliver one million of the
12:47
Speaker 3: Optimus human eyed robots. Yeah, that's next. The robots are coming.
12:53
Speaker 3: If they get all the hurdles, Tesla stock would explode
12:58
Speaker 3: and be worth eight point five five trillion, with must
13:02
Speaker 3: getting a quarter. That's so, that's how they'll end up
13:05
Speaker 3: with a trillion dollars in income. And let's say it
13:08
Speaker 3: doesn't work out well and they only hit two benchmarks,
13:12
Speaker 3: then he'll earn twenty six billion from that. This is unbelievable.
13:16
Speaker 3: You know, he'll be earning more money than Mark Zuckerberg,
13:18
Speaker 3: Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang in the video combined. Combined,
13:25
Speaker 3: seventy five percent of shareholders voted in favor of the proposal.
13:29
Speaker 3: That just terrified of losing him. They don't think anybody
13:32
Speaker 3: else could run the company like that. Unbelievable. Hey, Dave Portnoy,
13:37
Speaker 3: here's another one. Portnoy says he's gonna pull Barstool from
13:40
Speaker 3: New York City. Their headquarters is here. He's threatening, he says,
13:45
Speaker 3: I hate the guy. He's threatening to pull out and
13:49
Speaker 3: move Barstool. Portnoy just bought a thirty million dollar house
13:52
Speaker 3: in Miami, so I imagine that's where he'd move it.
13:56
Speaker 3: You know, people go, you know, the on their phone.
13:59
Speaker 3: That's how they or on the computer that you read
14:01
Speaker 3: the newspaper on the computer, You read your websites, you
14:04
Speaker 3: read your book on a kindle, you do all that.
14:07
Speaker 3: That's all changing slowly. People don't want to read anymore.
14:11
Speaker 3: It's incredible how lazy people are getting. And wait till
14:14
Speaker 3: AI takes over, you're going to see laziness like you've
14:16
Speaker 3: never seen. So a lot of people don't want to
14:19
Speaker 3: read a book on a kindle. They want talking books.
14:21
Speaker 3: They don't have to hold it, look at it, move
14:23
Speaker 3: their eyes. They don't want to have to do that.
14:25
Speaker 3: They want to just have a talking book. Well, it's
14:29
Speaker 3: affecting everything else. Newspapers are starting to realize they've got
14:33
Speaker 3: to start talking. It can't just be print. The New
14:36
Speaker 3: York Times has been working very hard on what they
14:39
Speaker 3: call the post text era, so they're quickly moving to
14:44
Speaker 3: platforms where everybody's talk and all the writers doing audio
14:48
Speaker 3: and video. So when you go to the New York Times,
14:50
Speaker 3: you don't have to tire yourself out reading. You can
14:53
Speaker 3: just listen and watch. So all their big writers columns
14:58
Speaker 3: are turning into talking heads. But this is the big
15:01
Speaker 3: thing audio video. At some point, if you've got no
15:04
Speaker 3: time machine and went to five years from now, there
15:06
Speaker 3: might not be any print of any kind anymore. Everything
15:09
Speaker 3: is just talking and video. Hey, oh, you will be
15:13
Speaker 3: with us later this hour, Clay Travis. Clay Travis will
15:15
Speaker 3: be here in a few minutes. We'll talk to Clay Travis.
15:19
Speaker 3: He's got a new book out. And then well, a
15:22
Speaker 3: lot more to get to and we'll take some calls next.
15:25
Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
15:29
Speaker 3: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
