  Speaker 3: Is it possible? And here's the point, is it possible?

  Speaker 3: They want to purge their own party of the older
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: like Schumer type.

  Speaker 6: you have the best guess of anybody on radio. I

  Speaker 6: just wanted with thinking of an update on a pass
• 3:03
  Speaker 6: cast Michael Riedle, can you update us on what's new
• 3:05
  Speaker 6: with him?
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: He's doing well. He's been in Florida a lot. He's

  Speaker 2: working on another book. Actually right, we should get him
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: back on the show sometimes. Good idea. Let's go to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Tony in White Plains. Tony, how you doing?
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: Yeah, good morning, Mark. I don't talk about this Newscombe
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: the governor California. What a joke this guys, He leaves
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: the country. He's talking about the biggest hopes we ever
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: had climate change, and in meantime, California burned it down
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: kind of he's responsible part of it and the water
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: situation and over there, and Mark, can I say one
• 3:37
  Speaker 7: more thing? You remember the movies like in the fifties,
• 3:41
  Speaker 7: you know, the black and whites and all that newscomb
• 3:43
  Speaker 7: You know what it reminds me of. You ever see
• 3:45
  Speaker 7: the Solda jerks like in a candy store with that
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: paper hat on. That's what it reminds you every time
• 3:50
  Speaker 7: I see him on TV.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: All right, well, thanks for calling. I hate to break
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it to you. He's the front runner for twenty twenty eight.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And check historically, whoever's the Democrat runner at this point
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: usually gets the denomination. But it's a long way off.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: But you're right, he's slick. He's a salesman. He's not
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: a manager, just a salesman. California is a mess. Even
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: after those terrible fires. You know, ninety eight percent of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: those people are not backing their homes yet. Because Newsom
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: is a busy making podcasts and doing guest appearances, doesn't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: have time to run the state. Let's go to Vincent
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and Brooklyn.
• 4:26
  Speaker 8: Vincent, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, Good Morning Matter.
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: I'm doing fire mark mark in regards to the housing
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: and affordability crisis. I don't know who suggested that Donald
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: Trump the idea of a fifty year mortgage, because I
• 4:41
  Speaker 8: say this, I'm a senior citizen and I know a
• 4:44
  Speaker 8: lot of seniors listen to your show. Because that is
• 4:48
  Speaker 8: not a great idea. Most people don't want to be
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: paying off for mortgage in their senior years, and even worse,
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: have their children pay off their mortgage in debt. Parents
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: by the time they retire, their kids have grown, they
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: want to sell their original house that they raise, their
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: family cash out, take some profits, and downsize to a
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: smaller home, maybe in a low tax state like Florida Tennessee.
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: But that is not a good idea at all because
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: if most people when if they get married at twenty five,
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: they're not even ready to raise the down you're talking
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: about if the house is a million dollars, you got
• 5:32
  Speaker 8: to put ten percent down. You're talking about one hundred
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: thousand dollars. That's going to take them time to raise
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: that money. They're gonna maybe be in their their thirties
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: unless they get help from their parents.
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: And so by the time when they pay off for
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: fifty year mortgage. You're lucky if you lift to eighty
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: years old. And what happens like us, happened to some
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: friends of mine in Italy. The people all the way
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: a couple of miles down the road bought houses years
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: ago that they figured, in their golden years, they'd sell,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: make some money on it, and downsize and live out
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: the rest of their life in style and class. The
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: neighborhood went down the toilet, like a lot of neighborhoods
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: are in New York, and they can't even get half
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: the original price they pay for it their style.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: There's a little doom and gloom that does happen. But
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: there's other neighborhoods where you buy a cheap house and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: next thing you know, twenty years later it's the hottest
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: neighborhood in the air.
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: But you don't pay mark, you don't pay or for
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: fifty year mortgage.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Most people, well, even I pay it off, you can
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: go sell it and still get a profit.
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: And still and if you got a fifty year mortgage
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: and you're only in five years paying that mortgage, you
• 6:47
  Speaker 8: didn't even pay off all the interest on that. You
• 6:51
  Speaker 8: can't even get a lot of acquity had of that
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: because most of it you didn't even pay off the interest.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: The first tell then's a good point, no fifty year mortgage,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: but throwing out ideas that, yeah.
• 7:01
  Speaker 8: It's a bad idea, all right, got a good idea.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Well you convinced me. All right, Well, a great call,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: thanks for calling. Uh hey, when we come back, we'll
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: talk to the Dean himself, the greatest analyst of campaigns
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and politics. We'll get to Ed Rollins. Coming up next
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: on seven to ten wo R
