  Speaker 1: Here's more of the Mark Simoon Show on wor.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll get to Bruce Springsteen. Where do you
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: hear this new masterpiece. We'll get to Jimmy Failey. He'll
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: be with us a little later this hour. So, Mom, Donnie,
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: you know, he's like twelve years old, never had a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: job before he gets elected mayor and it's his first week.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: He gets a major snowstorm and he gets a budget
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: crisis where we're gonna have a gap of like twelve
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: billion that has to be made up. Here's a guy
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: who never had a job, you know, no financial experience
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: of any kind. Now he's got to do all kinds
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: of emergency things to fill this budget cap. Now a
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: businessman looking at this would say, well, obviously you're overspending.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: You're a city. He won city and he got a
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: budget of one hundred and twenty billion. That's more than
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the budget of most states. So you got to make cuts.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: You got to cut. But you know, he doesn't know that.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: He thinks yes to increased taxes. Now he's blaming it
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: on everybody else. He's blaming it on Adams.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five, under the banner of what he
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: called the best budget ever. Former Mayor Eric Adams handed
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the next administration a poisoned chalice. He's systematically under budgeted
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: services that New Yorkers rely on every single day, rental assistance, shelter,
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and special education, while quietly leaving behind enormous gaps for
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the future and knowing his time in office was likely
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: coming to an end. Mayor Adams chose political self preservation
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: over fiscal responsibility.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Okay, he's not wrong. Then now you cannot blame mom
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Donnie for this budget crisis. I just took over five
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: minutes ago, so it's not his fault. Adams was the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: mayor for the last four years, so he left him
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: with this. He's also blaming Andrew Cuomo, which is good.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: You should blame Andrew Cuomo for everything all the time.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: But he'd explained it if you want to save primarily
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, Oh we lost it. I lost
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: the cut. Sorry, But he basically explains Cuomo signing in
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: all these woke, nonsense, crazy programs cost us money, and
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: then he used city money that was supposed to go
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: to the city. He diverted it to pay for whatever
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: crazy left wing stuff he wanted to pay for. Left
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: us with a big gap, so he got a deficit.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: The prior mayoral administration has left us with a twelve
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: billion dollars fiscal deficit. And this is at a scale
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: that's actually greater than what we saw here in New
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: York City during the Great Recession. And it's something that
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: is attributable to gross fiscal mismanagement, to a refusal to
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: actually budget honestly and be direct with New Yorkers.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: Now, it's hard to believe Erica Adams would do that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, looks looks to me like a financial genius.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You can't. But donn You got Adams who didn't know
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: anything about anything, and now you got mom Donnie, he's
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: never even had a job. There's the guy trying to
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: fix it.
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: Good luck with This is what we saw in the
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: last year from the mayoral administration was there was a
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: recognition about the scale of this crisis. But instead of
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: actually being direct with New Yorker.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Right now, he's giving me a headache. Well, the state,
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: yeah again, Cuomo and the states the problems. We don't
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: get enough from the state.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: We look at the relationship between the city and the state,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: where New York City is the economic engine of the
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: state of the country. And yet while we contribute fifty
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: four point five percent of the state's revenue, we only
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: receive forty point five percent in return. And if we
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: had actually bridged that gap over the Cuomo years, we'd
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: be talking about receiving an eight billion dollars additional every
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: single year.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Well, he's great at explaining this. Fixing it. Now, that's
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: a different story. Anyway. Let's get to Bruce Springsteen. Now,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen, superstar. When you become a rock and roll superstar,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: I remember Born to Run, Remember that album cover with
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: the motorcycle and the guitar and the wristbands, and he's
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: broken down on the highway with his hungry heart and
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: tramps like us. You know, this young, young, young guy,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: and he's you know, in those days, when you're a
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: young rock and roll star, you're you know, you're out
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: every night, you're drinking, there's a million women, you're having fun,
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: you're at in your motorcycle. You're a happy guy. Now
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: when you become an old rock and roll star, when
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: you become an old, old, old senior citizen rock and
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: roll star, you're not doing any of that. He's sitting
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: at home every night and you, you know, when you're
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a liberal, left wing old person, what do you do?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: You watch MSNBC and you get yourself riled up all
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: night long, you get very, very angry. You watch MSNBC,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: you watch who's that de androgenous guy with the glasses?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: What's his name? Chris Hayes. You watch Chris Hayes and
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: he gets you really mad. And then Rachel Maddow comes on.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Now you can't tell because they both look alike. You
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: can't tell which is which. But Rachel Maddow comes on
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: get you even angrier. And then when she's done. You see,
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: if you're an old person like Bruce is, now you
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: keep watching this all night and then she goes off.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: And then the other guy, Lawrence O'Donnell, comes on, and
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: he gets you even more outraged. And by the time
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: it's eleven thirty, you're so riled up and angry. And
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: then you put on Colbert and then he gets you
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: angry or and angry. You watch Jimmy Kimmel and by
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: the time you're fired up. So there's this a very
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: angry Bruce Springsteen. So he's got to do something. He's
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: compelled to act. He decides he'll write a song. That's
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: the other thing is when you're a young Bruce Springsteen,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: it's one hit after another. It's just pouring out hits.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: When you're a young Bullie Joel, hit song after hit,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: song after hit song after hit before you know it.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Now you got to put out another best of album.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Here's twelve more hit singles, Best Of Volume six. Now,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: when you're an old rock and roll singer, you're not
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: gonna have any hit songs. It's your time has gone
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: for that. You can go around and do massive concerts.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You're the elder statesman, but you're not gonna have any
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: hit singles. So but you can't explain that to these guys.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: They keep trying, they keep writing these new songs. So
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Bruce decides he must act and maybe in the process
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: you'll come up with a major, major hit song. So
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: he's written a song about Minneapolis, about the ice, about
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: pretty being killed. And this is a masterpiece, maybe possibly
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: the greatest single song ever written. First of all, if
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I were Bob Doing, i'd sue this guy for plagiarism.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Right now, it's trying to sound like Bob Doing. This
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: is called the Streets of Minneapolis, said He's on fire,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the occupiers boots the poetry of Bruce right now. If
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you're a fact checker, please don't do this song. You'll
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: get a headache, you'll just wear yourself out. Everything in
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: here is a lie. King Trump's private army. It's not
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a private army. It's ice. That's the same ice Biden used,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: the same ice Obama used more than Trump. In fact,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: remember he gave home In a medal for ice and
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: enforced the law, or so they claim. No, these are
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: actual written You can't claim it's a law. It's a
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: law book. You can go look it up. These are
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: all actual laws on the book. But on the other hand,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: it's Bruce and he's a you know, drugged up, a
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: senior citizen rock and roll guy. But don't try to
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: fact check them voices or what did he say fighting
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: for justice? Well, actually they're fighting against justice. Ice is
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: actually a forced enforcing laws on the book, actual law enforcement,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: and they're in there trying to block struck law enforcement action.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: So he's gonna devi again. Fact checkers, you can't got
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: to admit this part is kind of catchy musically, It's
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: got like a nice melody and it's bouncy and bouncy
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and music melodically it's but I don't know. You're talking
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: about a guy getting killed the tragedy. Should you be
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: so bouncy and melodic about it? I don't know. We'll
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: take our stand for this land, all right. That's pretty
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: good lyric writing. If it's the seventies, I don't know
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: it it's twenty sixteen. I don't know. See it goes
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: from bouncy pretty to like federal effects. I don't know.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: I'm getting text left and right. Please stop, you're killing
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: This is torture. It's not a bad song musically, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: mean it's ridiculous. Will this be a hit? What do
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you think? Will anybody play it? Who could play it?
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: I mean certainly not gonna be on C one hundred.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna hear this on light FM with Q
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: one oh four play it? I don't know. Are you
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: rushing to download it right now? Will it be a
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: hit anywhere? Will it be viral online? Alex pretty lay
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: in the snow Dead. The melody doesn't fit. It's kind
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: of a happy It's kind of like a hungry heart.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: It's too bouncy happy. It's like dancing in the dark
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: kind of pretty. I don't know all right, people are
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: begging me stop, don't play anymore. I can't take it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: But that's the latest from Bruce. Keep an eye on that.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: We'll see where it goes, if it's a big hit
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: or not. Hey, President Trump, he's got a great idea
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: and he wants to do these Trump accounts. So when
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: you're born, a child is born, an account is set up.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Everybody will have an account and the government will put
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: one thousand dollars in that account, and your parents can
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: put money in, your employers could put money in. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: the idea is you'll have this account. The government will
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: automatically put a thousand dollars in your little account as
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: a baby, and it will grow and compound. You can't
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: take the money out. It'll just keep compounding until you're eighteen.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: And as Warren Buffett always explains, the biggest way to
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: make money is compounding. You know the words. You throw
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the money in and don't touch it, keep reinvesting the profit,
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the dividends. It'll be in a stock account, you know,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: some kind of fund. And if you don't touch it,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the thousand dollars, you can't touch it till you're eighteen.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: It's estimated by the time you're eighteen it'll be about
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars in there, and if you leave
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: it till your twenty eighth birthday, it'll be a million dollars. Now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: once you're eighteen, you can start taking money out, and
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: there's government rules on this account. When you take the
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: money out, you're only allowed to spend it on certain things.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: You're only allowed to spend it for education expenses. You're
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: allowed to spend it for buying a home, or you
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: can use it for retirement income when you retire. And
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: if you left it in till the time you retire,
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: it'd probably be about don't know, ten million dollars. So
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: it's not expensive to do it for the government. In fact,
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: it's cheaper than other stuff. So these Trump accounts are
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: going to be a big thing.
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: He meant yesterday, Young children that started out with really nothing,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: and what gives him, Boy, it's more money than anybody
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: could imagine.
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: It's a great idea. Even if you wait till you're
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: eighteen take it out, you got three hundred thousand that'll
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: pay for your education. So it's a great, great idea.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: Of course, Democrats will go nuts and denounce it like crazy,
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: and you'll hear a lot of fighting over it in
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Congress and all of that stuff. Hey, you know, speaking
• 10:30
  Speaker 2: of Minnesota, don't worry. I'm not going to play the
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: song again. Speaking of Minnesota, you know, the Tim Waltz,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: the governor, has to step down because of the Somali fraud.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Nineteen billion missing and he was too stupid to know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: so he has to leave office. He can't run for reelection.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: So everybody's threatening to run for reelection. Republican candidates are
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: jumping in, even Mike Lindell, my pillow Mike Lindell. And
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: he's a pretty charming guy, good salesman, he's a good talker.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: So they started to get worried that somebody like Mike
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: Lindell could win as governor as the Republican. Now, remember
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: this is Minnesota, where they elect all kinds of characters.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: They elected Jesse Ventura, the wrestler on a third party
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: as governor. And remember these voters are not exactly shrewd voters.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: They elected Tim Wattz, they elected Mayor Fry, so they'll
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: elect anybody. Everybody but Lindell would have a real shot
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: so Democrats are in they're very worried about this, very
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: very worried. So they decided that the most powerful, most
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: popular Democrat in the state needs to run to make
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: sure that they hold onto the governor's mansion, and that
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: would be Amy Klobucher, the Senator. So she's going to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: have to give that up and run for governor because
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: she's most likely a guaranteed winner, and she's just announced
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: she will do it. She'll run for governor and pretty
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: much easily be the winner. Hey, the Washington Post, you know,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos s bought it years ago for about two
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million. But nobody reads these newspapers anymore.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: You know, Am Talk radio has sixty three million people
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: listening every day, sixty three million newspapers. All the newspapers
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: in America only have twenty two million readers. So not
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of people reading newspapers, not a lot. So
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: you got to make cuts. Washington Posts. They've had to
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: cut costs. Even if you're Jeff Bezos a billionaire, you
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: got to you got to have, you know, a stable business.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: So they're laying off people left and right. At the
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Washington Post. They've decided they'll get rid of the sports
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: department because let's be honest, if you're a big, big,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: big sports person, you're not You're not going to the
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Washington Post for their sports. They're not any good and
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: there's a million other places you can go get all
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of that. So they're cutting it back. Everybody at the
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: Washington Post up in arms. There's going to be massive layoffs,
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: but they'll pay everybody to leave. A big, big payoff coming.
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: But they're furious. There's mutiny, there's rebellion, they're threatening to
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: walk out, which is exactly what he wants. But so
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: it works out perfectly for everybody where is Bruce t
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: You're going to hear this all day long on CNN
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: and MSNBC. Anyway, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten
