Hour 2: NYC's minimum wage. · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Mar Simone on sevent tenor.
0:09
Speaker 2: Well, you know, they had the big ceremony yesterday for
0:12
Speaker 2: the new Iotola, the new leader of Iran. This is
0:15
Speaker 2: the Iotola's son, who was supposed to be just as bad,
0:18
Speaker 2: even worse, but also said to have absolutely no personality whatsoever.
0:23
Speaker 2: But it was the installation ceremony for the new leader
0:26
Speaker 2: of Iran, the new Iotola. Thousands showed up except him,
0:32
Speaker 2: Except the new leader. He was not there, So speculation
0:36
Speaker 2: was he wounded in one of those bombing attacks or
0:40
Speaker 2: was he just afraid to come out in public because
0:42
Speaker 2: he'd be killed. Well this just breaking. Sources now saying
0:46
Speaker 2: that he was wounded in one of those original bombings
0:49
Speaker 2: that they say a fractured foot. That could mean he
0:53
Speaker 2: lost his foot. But also they say he has a
0:56
Speaker 2: severe facial laceration. So he was wounded apparently in one
1:01
Speaker 2: of those bombings. That's why he wasn't there. Also, I
1:05
Speaker 2: would think since this was outdoors, thousands of people dig gathering,
1:10
Speaker 2: if he were there, he would be I mean, he'd
1:14
Speaker 2: have a bruise on his head for when the bomb
1:16
Speaker 2: hit him right on the head. So I don't think
1:18
Speaker 2: we'll ever see this guy again. I think at some point.
1:24
Speaker 2: I mean, if you were a life insurance company, wouldn't
1:26
Speaker 2: you cancel this policy right now? I mean, would you
1:28
Speaker 2: give this guy a week to live right now? Hey,
1:32
Speaker 2: the Nancy Guthrie case, you haven't heard about it much.
1:35
Speaker 2: You don't hear about it at all. It's not You
1:36
Speaker 2: could watch news twenty four to seven and not hear
1:39
Speaker 2: the name Nancy Guthrie anymore. I guess that means I
1:44
Speaker 2: know they're not giving up. There's still a couple hundred
1:47
Speaker 2: investigators on it, but it means the public is kind
1:50
Speaker 2: of given up on it, and the news directors have
1:53
Speaker 2: kind of given up on it. The only new thing is,
1:56
Speaker 2: you know that from the beginning, nobody liked that local
1:58
Speaker 2: sheriff who was running an investgation. What was his name, Nanos?
2:02
Speaker 2: That local sheriff always looked like a total bumbling, buffoonish
2:06
Speaker 2: kind of local sheriff. And now stuff is coming out
2:09
Speaker 2: about his past lying on a resume, originally on another
2:13
Speaker 2: job way back when, and then earlier work in other departments.
2:18
Speaker 2: He had a few complaints against him for this and that.
2:20
Speaker 2: So he is the bumbling fool that he appears to
2:24
Speaker 2: be now. Donald Trump, even when he was in a
2:30
Speaker 2: private life, and when he ran for there was always
2:33
Speaker 2: this one of the fake narratives. Well, he's not really
2:36
Speaker 2: a billionaire. He actually doesn't have any money, he's actually broke,
2:39
Speaker 2: he's actually this. Remember JB. Pritzker speaking at the Democratic
2:44
Speaker 2: Convention in twenty twenty four. Pritzker when he got up
2:47
Speaker 2: a lot of applause, and as it died down, he said,
2:50
Speaker 2: take it from a real billionaire, and the audience went, well,
2:53
Speaker 2: a real billionaire. Well, Pritzker is worth about a billion dollars.
2:56
Speaker 2: Trump is worth about six point five billion dollars right now.
3:00
Speaker 2: Even back then he was worth about four or five
3:02
Speaker 2: billion dollars. So they always love to convince you it
3:06
Speaker 2: doesn't really have He's not really a billionaire, he doesn't
3:08
Speaker 2: really have any money, he doesn't really own anything. None
3:10
Speaker 2: of that was true. You know who doesn't like him
3:12
Speaker 2: as Forbes magazine. I don't know why they're they're not
3:15
Speaker 2: big Trump fans at Forbes magazine. And no better business
3:19
Speaker 2: publication than Forbes. And nobody is better at giving you
3:23
Speaker 2: of those lists of exactly how much everybody is worth.
3:26
Speaker 2: Nobody is better at counting that, figuring that out. So
3:31
Speaker 2: Forbes just came out with their news. They now have
3:33
Speaker 2: Trump at six point five billion. He was like at
3:36
Speaker 2: four and a half five billion. He's at six point
3:39
Speaker 2: five billion right now. So can you imagine having a
3:43
Speaker 2: billion dollars? Okay, then imagine having six point five billion dollars?
3:50
Speaker 2: How much money?
3:51
Speaker 3: That is? All? Right?
3:51
Speaker 2: Now, listen to this. Elon Musk is now worth eight
3:57
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty billion dollars, eight hundred and fifty billion.
4:02
Speaker 2: He's rising fast. A lot of this is due to SpaceX.
4:07
Speaker 2: He's had a tremendous amount of growth, especially since SpaceX
4:11
Speaker 2: and Xai merged. But he's now worth eight hundred and
4:16
Speaker 2: fifty billion dollars. Remember way back when when there were
4:21
Speaker 2: millionaires that was you always hear about millionaires, and then
4:23
Speaker 2: there was the first billionaire. I'm not sure that was
4:27
Speaker 2: probably a Rockefeller, but remember the first billionaire. You would
4:30
Speaker 2: hear about Rockefeller, and then Howard Hughes. You always hear
4:33
Speaker 2: about this Howard Hughes, who was and it was an
4:37
Speaker 2: hard to believe word, a billionaire, a guy actually worth
4:40
Speaker 2: a billion dollars. Where you're now about to get to
4:42
Speaker 2: your first trillionaire. It'll probably happen within the next two years,
4:46
Speaker 2: Elon Musk will be the first trillionaire ever in the world.
4:51
Speaker 2: So imagine if you had eight billion dollars what you
4:54
Speaker 2: could buy. So then try to imagine this guy with
4:59
Speaker 2: eight hundred fifty billion dollars, eight hundred and fifty billion.
5:04
Speaker 2: If you just put this in in in bonds, you
5:09
Speaker 2: would be making about four or five billion a year
5:13
Speaker 2: just an interest. You don't have to do anything ever again,
5:16
Speaker 2: you just invest. It's just you don't even have to
5:18
Speaker 2: put it in stocks. Just put it all in bonds,
5:22
Speaker 2: your treasuries or something where you're going to get a steady,
5:24
Speaker 2: steady interest payment. You've been getting three four billion a
5:27
Speaker 2: year in interest three or four let's say you put
5:30
Speaker 2: it in tax restuff, you'll be getting two billion a
5:32
Speaker 2: year in interest. You couldn't spend that if you tried,
5:35
Speaker 2: you couldn't. You can't spend two billion a year. It's impossible.
5:38
Speaker 2: But it's just unbelieving. Eight hundred and fifty billion dollars. Hey,
5:45
Speaker 2: at the same time, do crazy democrats. These crazy democrats
5:50
Speaker 2: are now talking about in New York City, especially in
5:52
Speaker 2: the City Council, they want to raise the minimum wage
5:55
Speaker 2: to thirty dollars it's about fifteen sixteen, now seventeen. They
6:00
Speaker 2: want to raise it to thirty dollars an hour. Thirty
6:04
Speaker 2: dollars an hour minimum wage mandatory. Now what that would mean?
6:08
Speaker 2: And I don't know why they can't figure this out.
6:11
Speaker 2: You know, most of these Democrats are very educated, they're smart,
6:14
Speaker 2: but they're absolute idiots when it comes to this stuff.
6:17
Speaker 2: Any time this has ever been done where you put
6:19
Speaker 2: this mandatory high minimum wage, two things happen. One, people
6:23
Speaker 2: get fired. Lots of businesses will have to fire people
6:27
Speaker 2: because they can't have as many employees if they got
6:29
Speaker 2: to pay this kind of minimum wage. So you'll have
6:31
Speaker 2: a big, big amount of people fired. And the other
6:34
Speaker 2: thing that happens is businesses leave or don't come here.
6:38
Speaker 2: You know, they tried all this stuff in San Francisco
6:40
Speaker 2: and the result was everybody closed up. All the big
6:44
Speaker 2: chains closed up. You know, everything from Starbucks to Dwayne
6:48
Speaker 2: Read to CV, I mean everything, they just closed and moved.
6:52
Speaker 2: So the result of this kind of crazy law is
6:55
Speaker 2: you get everybody fired, and you get less businesses and
6:59
Speaker 2: less jobs. Happens every single time without fail. I don't
7:02
Speaker 2: know why Democrats can't figure this out. Is it just
7:06
Speaker 2: incredible optimism. Well, I know it failed five hundred million times.
7:10
Speaker 2: Maybe this time in a way I don't know what
7:13
Speaker 2: goes through their head. Hopefully this won't pass. And the
7:16
Speaker 2: other thing is that Democrats have this feel good, sound good. Well,
7:19
Speaker 2: if it sounds good, let's do it. If here's all
7:22
Speaker 2: the data showing you can never possibly work, yeah, but
7:24
Speaker 2: it sounds good, let's do it. You know, if you
7:29
Speaker 2: just if you were a normal, logical, common sense business
7:33
Speaker 2: person and you looked around the country, you'd say, huh.
7:37
Speaker 2: You know, every state that gets rid of their income tax.
7:41
Speaker 2: As soon as they do that, everybody starts moving there.
7:45
Speaker 2: Businesses rushed to come down there, and the economy booms
7:49
Speaker 2: and it flourishes. I mean, it's not that hard to
7:52
Speaker 2: figure out that's what you need to do. Or you
7:55
Speaker 2: just simply get rid of all the waste, fraud, bloat
7:58
Speaker 2: in your spending. You cut your butty and a half,
8:00
Speaker 2: cut the taxes in half, and everybody comes moving back.
8:04
Speaker 2: Businesses come moving in. It's not that hard to figure out. Hey,
8:08
Speaker 2: this is a very important thing I think to do.
8:10
Speaker 2: In Coltsneck, New Jersey, Coltsnack Township, remember, the school board
8:16
Speaker 2: has made a big proposal. They want a name the
8:20
Speaker 2: school after President Trump. Now it's important to do this
8:25
Speaker 2: just to drive these nutty Democrats totally insane. Can you
8:29
Speaker 2: imagine this. It's the right now, it's the conover Road
8:33
Speaker 2: Primary School, all right, it's not that catchy a name,
8:36
Speaker 2: conover Road Primary School. But they want to change it
8:39
Speaker 2: to the name it after President Donald Trump. I think
8:42
Speaker 2: it's a great idea. I think it's an excellent idea. Hey,
8:46
Speaker 2: there are a lot of high schools named after presidents,
8:50
Speaker 2: and there's more than a dozen schools that have already
8:53
Speaker 2: been named after President Barack Obama. And as you can imagine,
8:57
Speaker 2: there's some in the township all up in arms. But
8:59
Speaker 2: I think it would be great. I think you're going
9:01
Speaker 2: to start naming things after Donald Trump because it will
9:05
Speaker 2: drive liberals nuts. You know, in Palm Beach they're naming
9:08
Speaker 2: the road from the airport a Donald Trump Boulevard. It's
9:12
Speaker 2: going to drive democrats nuts. And there's a big proposal
9:15
Speaker 2: down in Palm Beach to rename the airport after him. Hey,
9:20
Speaker 2: it happens all the time, you name airports after presidents,
9:23
Speaker 2: and that's his airport that he uses all the time.
9:26
Speaker 2: But it will drive Democrats crazy having to go to
9:29
Speaker 2: Trump Airport. It'll say it on their ticket, it'll say
9:32
Speaker 2: it on their baggage claim. It'll drive them insane. Down
9:36
Speaker 2: there in Cooltznek, here's a couple of Democrats. There's one
9:39
Speaker 2: guy in fact, he ran for Congress as a Democrat.
9:42
Speaker 2: He took to Instagram, he went crazy. School names are
9:45
Speaker 2: supposed to reflect the virtues we hope to instill in
9:48
Speaker 2: our children. Integrity, humility, service, respect for the law, a
9:53
Speaker 2: commitment to community over self. But the post only got
9:58
Speaker 2: twenty six likes. You know, actually Trump has a lot
10:02
Speaker 2: of the values and virtues we want to instill in
10:05
Speaker 2: our children. Hard work, dedication, never give up, endless, boundless energy.
10:13
Speaker 2: The pretty good idea to name a school after I'm
10:17
Speaker 2: all for it. So now the war in Iran continues.
10:23
Speaker 2: We're in day twelve. I don't like to call it
10:25
Speaker 2: the warn Iran like to call it the liberation of Iran.
10:30
Speaker 2: Now there's one island, a little tiny island that could
10:34
Speaker 2: be key to all of this. The President thinking about it.
10:39
Speaker 2: It's been proposed to him. It's carg Island. Ninety percent
10:43
Speaker 2: of Iran's crude oil exports come out of there. It's
10:46
Speaker 2: where they keep all the oil store all the oil.
10:48
Speaker 2: If you get rid of this island, that's it for
10:50
Speaker 2: the whole oil supply of Iran. If you blockade the island,
10:54
Speaker 2: you can totally totally shut down all of their oil everything.
10:58
Speaker 2: So they're thinking to do it is wants to take
11:00
Speaker 2: control of the island. If you do this, this is
11:04
Speaker 2: the entire oil supply of Iran all in one island.
11:07
Speaker 2: Kind of silly that they put it all in one place,
11:10
Speaker 2: but then you completely disable the economy of Iran once
11:16
Speaker 2: and for all. So they're looking at that that is
11:18
Speaker 2: possible that it could happen. I don't know. I mean
11:23
Speaker 2: the President's study it carefully, try to figure it out. Hey.
11:27
Speaker 2: Now there's a fancy public school, a private school on
11:30
Speaker 2: the Upper east Side. There's a bunch of these private schools.
11:33
Speaker 2: There's a well, you know all the names, but there's
11:35
Speaker 2: one called Spence. Spence. You could look at all the
11:39
Speaker 2: legendary famous names that went to Spence, very fancy private school,
11:44
Speaker 2: Upper east Side. Where's ninety first Street so packed? Apparently
11:49
Speaker 2: two people there were having an affair. A couple of
11:52
Speaker 2: teachers or a couple of employees were having an affair.
11:55
Speaker 2: I guess they're both married. Now the whole school is
11:58
Speaker 2: up in arms. What to do about this? I remember
12:00
Speaker 2: when I was a kid, well even when I was
12:03
Speaker 2: a little kid, and you had Remember you had some
12:05
Speaker 2: good looking teachers in your school. I mean most of
12:08
Speaker 2: them look you know, like Granny and the Beverly Hillbillies.
12:10
Speaker 2: But you had a lot of most of them looked
12:12
Speaker 2: like a mother on let's update that reference the mother
12:14
Speaker 2: on the Golden Girls. But you had a lot of
12:17
Speaker 2: good looking young teachers back then. And was it just me?
12:22
Speaker 2: I could see? And then we had some young guys
12:25
Speaker 2: who were teachers. I could see. You could tell kind
12:28
Speaker 2: of who was having an affair. Which teachers, not all
12:30
Speaker 2: of them, but I mean a couple of the younger teachers.
12:33
Speaker 2: This younger guys, a teacher, this woman. You could see
12:36
Speaker 2: stuff going on. You could get a idea. So is
12:39
Speaker 2: it that wrong? Well, apparently today's well you cannot have
12:43
Speaker 2: an affair. Well, actually they were both married, but is
12:45
Speaker 2: it the school's business? Well, what happened was and they
12:50
Speaker 2: think it was the wife of the guy having the affair.
12:53
Speaker 2: They think it was the wife who printed up hundreds
12:58
Speaker 2: and hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of flyers about the affair,
13:02
Speaker 2: announcing the affair, and put them up everywhere, all over
13:06
Speaker 2: the school, all over the street, all over the every
13:09
Speaker 2: lamp post everywhere within blocks of that school, so everybody
13:13
Speaker 2: saw it. They believe it was the wife who obviously
13:16
Speaker 2: went to Kinko's and had a million posters printed up
13:19
Speaker 2: and put them everywhere, kind of like a Karen Hill move.
13:23
Speaker 2: Remember in Good Fellows where she goes to the girlfriend's
13:26
Speaker 2: apartment building, ROSSI, you whore, and she's hitting the buzzer
13:31
Speaker 2: and buzzing the landlord, sir, you have a whore living here?
13:35
Speaker 2: Remember that? And Goodfellows? Well, it's kind of like that,
13:38
Speaker 2: but it's disrupting the whole school. Hey, we got a
13:42
Speaker 2: lot coming up. And but by the way, if you

15:17
Speaker 4: I agree with Jerry your previous caller. Home Ze Borders, Coltsnack.
15:22
Speaker 4: That's where I live in New Jersey. The Conover Road
15:25
Speaker 4: school is a beautiful school. And I know because I
15:28
Speaker 4: used to teach exercise classes there years ago. I think
15:32
Speaker 4: they should rename it for Trump. Not to drive everybody crazy,
15:35
Speaker 4: because that's going to happen, but because of all his
15:38
Speaker 4: wonderful accomplishments. I mean, he really got all backs. I
15:42
Speaker 4: don't care what anybody says.
15:43
Speaker 2: Yeah, is that you Bedminster?
15:47
Speaker 4: No, that's all the way up north.
15:49
Speaker 6: We ride the motorcycle up and past Bedminster all the time.
15:52
Speaker 6: We're in like Mommouth County. We're like most Central Jersey.
15:56
Speaker 6: But it's it's a beautiful school. And I really should start, like,
16:00
Speaker 6: you know, a petition, Yes, renamed the school because even
16:04
Speaker 6: though you mentioned I know, I'm going on and on.
16:06
Speaker 4: You mentioned so many schools named for Barack Obama. What
16:13
Speaker 4: did they want to name the school for because he
16:15
Speaker 4: gave paluts of cash? Tyran. Oh, you should be proud
16:19
Speaker 4: about that.
16:19
Speaker 2: No, there you go. Well, good call, Thanks for calling.
16:22
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike.
16:24
Speaker 3: How you doing, Good morning, Mark. Yes, Mike, you should
16:29
Speaker 3: name it the Trump Mega School. Make the education great again? Oh?
16:33
Speaker 2: I like that.
16:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, you did an interview. The interview you
16:38
Speaker 3: did with Ed Dollins is uh. You know, these the
16:43
Speaker 3: experts are like the worst enemies of the Republican Party
16:47
Speaker 3: in a sense because every time they ask about the midterms,
16:50
Speaker 3: it's going to be a disaster. Maria Baroromo did that
16:53
Speaker 3: with the with the what's his name from Kentucky the
16:57
Speaker 3: other day, and it's going to be a disaster, and
16:59
Speaker 3: the gas places are hi. You know, the Democrats make it,
17:02
Speaker 3: give a talking point and they poot it back. And
17:05
Speaker 3: instead of you, if you ask the you know, the
17:07
Speaker 3: Democrat version of Ed Rollins that question, you say, not
17:10
Speaker 3: a problem, We're gonna kill him. There's no problems in
17:13
Speaker 3: the party. We're fine, We're too honest.
17:16
Speaker 2: I guess, well, that's true. But I think take the
17:20
Speaker 2: negative approach, assume everything's gonna be the worse, makes you
17:22
Speaker 2: work harder, I hope.
17:24
Speaker 3: So, I hope that's what it does. I hope it
17:26
Speaker 3: doesn't just you know, discourage people from getting out because
17:29
Speaker 3: everything's lost. What's the point of going no?
17:31
Speaker 2: And also remember this Democratic cheerleading complacency. That's one reason
17:36
Speaker 2: Kamala lost. They you know, they don't get to vote, so.
17:39
Speaker 3: Uh, and we don't have the press, we don't have
17:42
Speaker 3: the press on our side. So it's a stack deck.
17:44
Speaker 7: I understand.
17:45
Speaker 2: So you got to remember, and nobody in the political
17:48
Speaker 2: chattering class wants to ever admit this. It's eight months away.
17:52
Speaker 2: What I know, it sets in, but it's eight months away.
17:54
Speaker 2: Whatever's going on now has nothing to do with it's
17:57
Speaker 2: gonna the way it's going to be four or five
17:59
Speaker 2: months from now. It'll all change.
18:00
Speaker 3: Yes, that's the point you were trying to make, and
18:02
Speaker 3: I agree. It's you know, from the day he was elected.
18:05
Speaker 3: It's like the mid they're worrying about the midterms. It's like,
18:07
Speaker 3: for heaven's sake, it's two years away. Let the guy.
18:09
Speaker 2: I know, but you got it. If you're in the
18:11
Speaker 2: chattering class, you have to predict something, even if you can't.
18:14
Speaker 3: I know.
18:14
Speaker 2: You know. When they used to ask Warren Buffett, what
18:17
Speaker 2: do you think are we going into recession? Buffet would
18:19
Speaker 2: always say, you can't predict a recession. It's never been done.
18:22
Speaker 2: Nobody can do it. It's impossible to predict. You can't
18:25
Speaker 2: predict it. Well, they hated that answer. They wanted a
18:27
Speaker 2: guy to give him a prorection, right or wrong. Well,
18:29
Speaker 2: thanks for calling Mike. Let's go to Alan Yonkers Al,
18:32
Speaker 2: how you doing good?
18:34
Speaker 7: Mark, Always enjoy your show, and Mark, as you know,
18:37
Speaker 7: you know, the last of the President's men a Nixon,
18:41
Speaker 7: alex Butterfeld, he passed away. He's the one who told
18:45
Speaker 7: the Wartergate Committee about the taping system.
18:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, Alexander Butterfeld. I forgot about him.
18:51
Speaker 7: Wow, Yeah, he passed away and he was you know
18:54
Speaker 7: a lot of Americans throughout the country always looked poorly
18:57
Speaker 7: on him, like John Dean, because they help print down
19:01
Speaker 7: you know, he was instrumental in bringing down there.
19:03
Speaker 2: Well, that was quite a cast of character. So thanks
19:05
Speaker 2: for calling. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn.
19:07
Speaker 5: Vincent, how you doing good morning, Mark, Malcolm, I'm okay.
19:10
Speaker 5: Last night on the overnight shows, I heard a professional
19:14
Speaker 5: Trump hater from Long Island going on and on about
19:18
Speaker 5: the gas prices are the gas prices are high, and
19:22
Speaker 5: he was using the gas prices in California as an example. Well,
19:28
Speaker 5: here in New York, the gas prices are only up
19:33
Speaker 5: about well, they're the same prices they were at the
19:37
Speaker 5: end of last summer. At the beginning of last summer,
19:40
Speaker 5: they were about fifteen cents cheap of gallon, and now
19:43
Speaker 5: they are about thirty cent, it's about thirty cents higher.
19:47
Speaker 5: But here by the time the driving season, by the
19:51
Speaker 5: time school recess on, school is out and people are traveling,
19:57
Speaker 5: the gas prices are going to be, as you pointed out,
20:00
Speaker 5: below normal. Did it even make Yeah, I know.
20:02
Speaker 2: They'll be much sure, it's it's just a spike and vincent.
20:05
Speaker 2: Great call, Thanks for calling. Yeah, as soon as the
20:08
Speaker 2: first tanker comes out of the straight horn moves, which
20:10
Speaker 2: should be probably next week, you'll see a drop of
20:13
Speaker 2: about twenty five thirty points a gallon a barrel instantly, instantly,
20:18
Speaker 2: and then back to where it was. And then as
20:20
Speaker 2: the straits open up and more oil is flowing, you'll
20:24
Speaker 2: see it go lower than it was. You'll end up
20:26
Speaker 2: with a much much lower gas price than ever before. Hey,
20:30
Speaker 2: when we come back and Culter will be with us next,
20:33
Speaker 2: let's see what she thinks about all this in just
20:35
Speaker 2: a moment. On seven to ten WR you know what's why?
20:40
Speaker 2: He tells you Why Mark Simone, he's on seven ten
20:44
Speaker 2: wor Well, the best selling author, that great columnist and Coulter.
20:52
Speaker 2: Make sure you follow her on Twitter. Great stuff there
20:54
Speaker 2: and even better as substack and culture. At Substack, you
20:58
Speaker 2: get columns and video and podcasts and interviews. It's and
21:02
Speaker 2: culture dot substack dot com and culter how you doing.
21:09
Speaker 3: Gop?
21:10
Speaker 2: Are you there? And culter Hello?
21:14
Speaker 1: I said fantastic, Sorry about that?
21:16
Speaker 2: There you are?
21:17
Speaker 3: So?
21:18
Speaker 1: How are you?
21:19
Speaker 2: I'm good? I'm good. So where do we even start?
21:22
Speaker 2: How about here in New York City Council, they're talking
21:25
Speaker 2: about doubling the minimum wage to thirty dollars an hour. Now,
21:29
Speaker 2: whenever this is done, every single time everywhere, as soon
21:32
Speaker 2: as you do that, a lot of people get fired
21:34
Speaker 2: because businesses can't afford to have that many people getting
21:36
Speaker 2: that much, and business is closed. They leave, New businesses
21:40
Speaker 2: don't come. How come democrats can't figure this out after
21:42
Speaker 2: it's been proven a million times?
21:45
Speaker 1: I know, I was just thinking that yet another businesses
21:51
Speaker 1: I think I just read on Twitter Starbucks and Howard
21:56
Speaker 1: Schultz moving out of Washington State because they've just imposed
22:00
Speaker 1: income tax and he's moving the headquarters Starbucks to Nashville.
22:04
Speaker 1: He himself is moving to Florida. Who's going to be
22:08
Speaker 1: left in these blue states? It's going to be all
22:11
Speaker 1: welfare recipients, which is why we need to be very
22:15
Speaker 1: careful about who whom we elect nationally, because the only
22:20
Speaker 1: way you can pay all the welfare recipients unless you
22:24
Speaker 1: have people earning money working productive of earning money in
22:28
Speaker 1: your state is to have the federal government redistribute it
22:32
Speaker 1: from the healthy economically healthy states to the welfare states,
22:38
Speaker 1: i e. Red states to the blue states. You know,
22:41
Speaker 1: this comes up all the time. And one thing I
22:44
Speaker 1: think people of the minimum wage. One thing I think
22:46
Speaker 1: people aren't considering about it because whatever the minimum wage
22:51
Speaker 1: is at the moment, raising it bit by bit incrementally
22:56
Speaker 1: doesn't quite reveal although yes, jobs are lost, but just
23:00
Speaker 1: how damaging it is. Without a minimum wage, and a
23:05
Speaker 1: minimum wage at all, there would be all sorts of
23:08
Speaker 1: jobs that don't even exist now because, as you say,
23:11
Speaker 1: it's not worth paying for certain jobs to be done.
23:15
Speaker 1: And you know, we're deficats always talk about you know,
23:18
Speaker 1: you can't you can't support a family of four on this. Okay,
23:22
Speaker 1: that's not what the minimum wage is for. It's for people,
23:27
Speaker 1: you know, teenagers, it's for kids maybe, or maybe people
23:31
Speaker 1: who are getting out of mental health institutions or prisons,
23:36
Speaker 1: or or or disabled. In some ways, it's people entering
23:40
Speaker 1: the work for it. For most of the time, and
23:43
Speaker 1: that's very important. It sounds silly to someone who's had
23:46
Speaker 1: people who had jobs their entire lives, but learning to
23:49
Speaker 1: wake up to an alarm clock and get yourself to
23:52
Speaker 1: a place of employment is a life skill that the
23:57
Speaker 1: minimum wage allows people to learn. Whenever this would come
24:01
Speaker 1: up in the Senate when I was working there, I
24:02
Speaker 1: always wanted my boss to introduce an amendment instead demanding
24:09
Speaker 1: that the minimum wage be one hundred thousand dollars a year.
24:12
Speaker 1: And you know what would the Democrats argument against that be? Well,
24:16
Speaker 1: everything you and I are saying it just it just
24:18
Speaker 1: makes it a little more obvious.
24:20
Speaker 2: Yeah. So it's the same thing with taxes. You know,
24:24
Speaker 2: if you just were a common sense person looked around
24:26
Speaker 2: and say, these states with no taxes, no state tax
24:30
Speaker 2: are booming. Every business moves there, everybody moves there. How
24:33
Speaker 2: hard is that to figure out for Democrats?
24:37
Speaker 1: I know, I know, and I talked to Democrats about this,
24:42
Speaker 1: and I guess part of the problem is the transition period,
24:47
Speaker 1: because they do have all these obligations to the public
24:51
Speaker 1: sector union. The states, especially the Blue states, but all
24:55
Speaker 1: the states could use their own DOGE program to come
24:58
Speaker 1: in and get rid of all these US government employees
25:02
Speaker 1: just fucking up taxpayer money doing jobs we don't want
25:07
Speaker 1: done and being unfireable. They could really reduce the number
25:12
Speaker 1: of public sector employees. And uh, you know, the new
25:20
Speaker 1: income coming in hasn't begun yet, whether it's from property
25:25
Speaker 1: taxes or tourism or just more businesses moving in. So
25:29
Speaker 1: it's always the transition problem, which is why you should
25:31
Speaker 1: never raise taxes in the first place.
25:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, Warren Iran has got the Democrats puzzled. They
25:38
Speaker 2: can't come up with the narrative. They're trying to say,
25:41
Speaker 2: no more endless wars. Can you really say endless? It's
25:44
Speaker 2: day twelve. I wouldn't call that endless, would you.
25:47
Speaker 1: Well, i'd call it a pointless war. But I will
25:51
Speaker 1: say I agree with you. I would like the Democrats
25:54
Speaker 1: to be more of a loyal opposition party. And no,
25:58
Speaker 1: I don't think they're making the right ar arguments. But
26:01
Speaker 1: surprisingly enough, you know, for the first time, agree with him.
26:06
Speaker 1: But he grews me. Joe Rogan Andrew Schultz, I think
26:13
Speaker 1: this is this is not going over well with the
26:15
Speaker 1: Maga basse.
26:16
Speaker 2: Well, but wait till it's done. It's a good thing
26:19
Speaker 2: to get rid of the Aatola. It's a good thing
26:21
Speaker 2: to liberate Iran, isn't it.
26:24
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a good thing to take our
26:26
Speaker 1: attention off our own country. I mean, as I was
26:30
Speaker 1: thinking of any comm about this, I haven't yet, but
26:33
Speaker 1: I was a huge supporter of obviously both Afghanistan, though
26:39
Speaker 1: I must always add the footnote didn't want to stay
26:42
Speaker 1: there for twenty years. I'm paint George Floyd murals. But
26:46
Speaker 1: things were very different back then. We had just been
26:50
Speaker 1: attacked on nine to eleven. And I will quickly add
26:54
Speaker 1: in response to liberals saying a rock didn't attack us
26:58
Speaker 1: on nine to eleven. Okay, Afghanistan, it was al Qaeda.
27:02
Speaker 1: It was Osama bin Laden, who was not an Afghani.
27:05
Speaker 1: He just happened to move his his wandering tents and
27:10
Speaker 1: set up the flagpole in Afghanistan. Certainly there was there
27:15
Speaker 1: was no worse dictator than Saddam and his comely sons,
27:20
Speaker 1: torturing their own people, gassing his own people, gassing the
27:25
Speaker 1: Kuwaitis two hundred thousand killed. Wim. There were plenty of
27:28
Speaker 1: reasons to attack Saddam Hussein, but at the same time
27:32
Speaker 1: or and at the same time, the country wasn't in
27:35
Speaker 1: nearly as much trouble our country, that is to say,
27:39
Speaker 1: as it is now. We just went through four years
27:42
Speaker 1: of the Biden administration, I won't say Joe Biden, so
27:46
Speaker 1: he had no idea what was going on, hauling in
27:49
Speaker 1: multiple millions of poverty stricken, non English speaking criminals, and
27:58
Speaker 1: we've already had thirty million enough, that's on top of
28:01
Speaker 1: the thirty or forty million illegals we already had. We
28:05
Speaker 1: really have our own problems to deal with right now.
28:08
Speaker 1: And you know, as I said in Adios America, it's
28:11
Speaker 1: like when you're on a plane and they say, you know,
28:15
Speaker 1: in an emergency, the oxygen mask will will drop. Put
28:19
Speaker 1: on your own mask first before helping children. Okay, American
28:24
Speaker 1: needs to put on its own mask first before we
28:27
Speaker 1: can go around helping the rest of the world. Iran
28:30
Speaker 1: poses zero danger to any American, whereas oh, my gosh,
28:36
Speaker 1: every single day illegal aliens are killing Americans.
28:40
Speaker 2: Well, hey, I don't think we talked to you since
28:42
Speaker 2: Christy Nome left. Are you happy about her leaving?
28:45
Speaker 1: But yeah, I was unhappy about her being chosen. That's
28:50
Speaker 1: the fax to term one of Donald Trump. Were well,
28:56
Speaker 1: mainly Christy Noman. I would also add Attorney General Bondi,
29:02
Speaker 1: No you want her going next? Trump is a little
29:06
Speaker 1: soft on the ladies, all right well.
29:12
Speaker 2: And Culter great stuff. Everybody should follow her on Twitter
29:15
Speaker 2: and even better as Substack. A new column comes out tonight.

30:12
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, Barack Obama, you know one of his big
30:16
Speaker 2: projects he's building this presidential Library, and I think he's
30:19
Speaker 2: using it to prove to the world that he is
30:22
Speaker 2: the world's worst manager, that he has absolutely no management
30:25
Speaker 2: skill at all. The overspending is out of control. The
30:31
Speaker 2: budget has gone insane. It turns out he's paying the
30:34
Speaker 2: people that work on it, including Valerie Jarrett. Remember her,
30:38
Speaker 2: she's the president of the library Foundation, getting eight hundred
30:41
Speaker 2: thousand a year. That's more than anybody's ever gotten to
30:44
Speaker 2: the history of the world for any presidential foundation. They
30:47
Speaker 2: got three hundred and thirty seven employees. Nobody knows what
30:50
Speaker 2: the hell they do. Their annual budget has gone insane. Well, anyway,
