Speaker 1: Bill Mark Simon Show, Live from ther Lifeback Studios.
0:07
Speaker 2: A beautiful sunny day to day. So hey, as much
0:11
Speaker 2: as I complain about that FIFA and that World Cup,
0:15
Speaker 2: don't you feel great that it's gone. There's no more FIFA.
0:20
Speaker 2: There's no more World Cup traffic closure tie ups, this well,
0:24
Speaker 2: it's all gone. No more of those screaming fans all
0:28
Speaker 2: over the place, they're gone. No more FIFA. It is
0:31
Speaker 2: great now. The only thing is I'm looking at the
0:34
Speaker 2: numbers here. The FIFA in the New York area brought
0:39
Speaker 2: in two billion dollars in revenue. Billion with a b
0:45
Speaker 2: two billion in revenue came into New York from FIFA
0:48
Speaker 2: around the country. In the United States, FIFA brought in
0:52
Speaker 2: fifteen billion. Now, I was expected to bring in eleven billion,
0:56
Speaker 2: but it brought in fifteen billion. And that final, FIFA,
1:02
Speaker 2: whatever the hell that was that Sunday Final Final game,
1:07
Speaker 2: sixty eight million people watched it. You never get that
1:10
Speaker 2: in television anymore. Never That's Oscars, Emmy's, Tony's combined times ten.
1:16
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing. Sixty eight million watched the game
1:21
Speaker 2: where nobody's scored for hour after hour after nobody is scoring,
1:25
Speaker 2: but everybody's watching it. Hey, legionnaire's disease. Well they think
1:32
Speaker 2: it's getting under control. Who knows it's You got eighty
1:35
Speaker 2: seven buildings now with the water cooler tower on top
1:39
Speaker 2: where they found legionnaire's disease, it's eighty seven. The numbers
1:42
Speaker 2: up a little now. The criticism of Mamdani is that
1:48
Speaker 2: his response to the legionnaires. They know what the epicenter was,
1:51
Speaker 2: they're not saying publicly eighty seventh in Lexington. But the
1:56
Speaker 2: response was, well, well, we'll start testing the water cooler
2:01
Speaker 2: water in those cooling tanks. We'll start testing. Well, that
2:04
Speaker 2: sounds maybe sounds good. But to do the test they
2:08
Speaker 2: take a sample and to get the results back takes
2:10
Speaker 2: two weeks. It takes a couple of weeks to get
2:13
Speaker 2: the test results. So that's kind of useless. City council
2:16
Speaker 2: speaker Julie Mennon and others pointing out it was the
2:19
Speaker 2: wrong response. The response was should have been to order
2:23
Speaker 2: the immediate disinfecting of all the water tanks on the
2:26
Speaker 2: upper east side. Just disinfect them. Now, the way you
2:30
Speaker 2: get this Legionaire's disease on top of a building, You
2:34
Speaker 2: got those old you know, sometimes the most beautiful modern glass.
2:37
Speaker 2: But on top is that old wooden petticoat junction looking
2:41
Speaker 2: water barrel on top, and that's got water in it,
2:46
Speaker 2: and that's still water. It doesn't move now in a
2:50
Speaker 2: heat wave. This is where we got it. In those
2:52
Speaker 2: heat waves. When you have a real heat wave, it
2:55
Speaker 2: heats up that water and that's where the Legionnaire's disease
2:58
Speaker 2: can start. That's where it's a Legionella bacteria can grow
3:01
Speaker 2: in very very very hot, still water. So that's what happened.
3:05
Speaker 2: Now we don't have any more heat waves on the horizon,
3:08
Speaker 2: so we should be okay. But he should have ordered
3:12
Speaker 2: all the buildings around that neighborhood to immediately disinfect their tanks,
3:16
Speaker 2: not even wait for test results. Hey, you know we
3:19
Speaker 2: always talk about these congress people senators and congressmen and
3:23
Speaker 2: women and all the money they make with the insider
3:26
Speaker 2: trading they're allowed to use insider trading. If you're in Congress,
3:30
Speaker 2: you have access to all kinds of inside information. You
3:34
Speaker 2: find out who's going to get FDA approval before it's public.
3:37
Speaker 2: You find out testing results, or who's going to get
3:40
Speaker 2: a big of a big government contract. So you could
3:44
Speaker 2: start insider trading and make a fortune. And that's what
3:47
Speaker 2: these people in Congress do. The worst is probably Nancy Pelosi,
3:52
Speaker 2: who on a government salary suddenly is worth six hundred
3:55
Speaker 2: million from the insider trading. You know who's really bad
3:58
Speaker 2: that row Kana. He's like the Indian Adam Schiff. Roe Kanna,
4:04
Speaker 2: who's another lying, thieving, rotten Trump arrangement syndrome guy on
4:09
Speaker 2: all the Sunday shows. There he's on MSNBC roe Conna
4:13
Speaker 2: insider trading government salary. Suddenly he's worth sixty five million dollars.
4:19
Speaker 2: Been there two weeks, he's worth sixty five million dollars. Now,
4:24
Speaker 2: listen to this guy. This is a real He's like
4:26
Speaker 2: an Adam Shift, just a real liar. Roe Kanna claimed
4:31
Speaker 2: on his social media roe Conna said, I do not
4:34
Speaker 2: own or trade stocks. I have led the fight to
4:38
Speaker 2: ban stock trading. I do not own or trade stocks. Well,
4:44
Speaker 2: it turns out his household traded stocks four seven hundred
4:50
Speaker 2: and seventy two times, almost five thousand times. Now it's
4:54
Speaker 2: his household, so I guess what he does. He gets
4:57
Speaker 2: the inside information. He has his wife, his cousin, and
5:00
Speaker 2: his brother, his son puts the trades in their names.
5:03
Speaker 2: But he did it five thousand times. So this is horrible.
5:08
Speaker 2: Now here's the good news that well, not great news.
5:10
Speaker 2: The House passed a set of restrictions on stock trades
5:16
Speaker 2: stop these lawmakers from doing this restricting. It's called the
5:19
Speaker 2: Stop Insider Trading Act. And now this is just the
5:23
Speaker 2: House that I don't think this will pass the Senate,
5:26
Speaker 2: so it doesn't mean much. But the bill was passed
5:30
Speaker 2: in the House two hundred and thirty two to one
5:33
Speaker 2: ninety eight. All Republicans voted for it, but only thirteen Democrats.
5:39
Speaker 2: Now the Democrats will argue that the reason they were
5:41
Speaker 2: against this bill is they and they shouldn't have done this,
5:44
Speaker 2: but they snuck into the bill voting fraud things that
5:50
Speaker 2: they stuck in voter ID provisions that you have to
5:54
Speaker 2: have photo ID. So they messed up the bill by
5:56
Speaker 2: sticking this stuff in it. But it was a great
6:00
Speaker 2: success for the House to pass this. If it got
6:02
Speaker 2: to the Senate, I don't think they'll pass, but it
6:04
Speaker 2: would stop this insider trading.
6:05
Speaker 3: Here's Mike Johnson by way of reminder, this is what
6:08
Speaker 3: we did this week. The House Republicans passed the Clean
6:10
Speaker 3: cr to keep the government funded responsibly, the Stop Insider
6:14
Speaker 3: Trading Act that bans lawmakers from trading and buying individual
6:18
Speaker 3: stocks and from abusing their office for financial gang. The
6:22
Speaker 3: NDAA to provide a much needed pay raise for our
6:26
Speaker 3: troops and to rebuild the arsenal of freedom.
6:29
Speaker 4: Yeah.
6:29
Speaker 2: See again, that's all good stuff, but it's a problem
6:31
Speaker 2: when you mush them all up into one bill makes
6:34
Speaker 2: it tough for some people. Hey, blood path at Disney,
6:39
Speaker 2: massive layoffs at Disney fired a lot of people. Looks
6:43
Speaker 2: like a thousand people lost their jobs. This is not
6:46
Speaker 2: the first time it's been cost cutting before at Disney.
6:50
Speaker 2: A lot of people out. Disney Entertainment, Television, ESPN, Disney Studios, Pixar,
6:59
Speaker 2: a lot of people go. The new CEO says, we're
7:02
Speaker 2: building a company that's more agile, better equipped for how
7:07
Speaker 2: the business is changing. Cost cutting. Well, hey, it's not
7:10
Speaker 2: just them. You know, people just don't watch TV anymore.
7:14
Speaker 2: Primetime TV people don't watch it anymore. Daytime TV, they
7:17
Speaker 2: don't watch it anymore. You know big primetime show years ago,
7:24
Speaker 2: you know Law and Order in its heyday, or big
7:26
Speaker 2: primetime show, you know NYPD Blue you have twenty million
7:31
Speaker 2: people watching now, big primetime show, two million people are watching,
7:36
Speaker 2: so it's one tenth the audience they used to have.
7:38
Speaker 2: So and the same thing with movies. You know, movie
7:40
Speaker 2: theaters don't do the business they used to do much
7:43
Speaker 2: a lot fewer movie theaters today, so it's just not
7:45
Speaker 2: the same anymore. Hey, that weasel governor of New Jersey,
7:49
Speaker 2: Mikey Sheryl, had to admit. Now, the president made that
7:54
Speaker 2: speech about there was voter fraud and the recent elections
7:58
Speaker 2: and all sorts of problems. Of course, the fake news
8:01
Speaker 2: goes nuts. How dare he networks use their favorite phrase
8:05
Speaker 2: without evidence? He said, without evidence. Well, there's plenty of evidence.
8:10
Speaker 2: And yesterday the governor New Jersey, Mikey Cheryl, held a
8:14
Speaker 2: press conference to announce there was a lot of voter
8:16
Speaker 2: fraud in New Jersey. She admitted to like eight thousand
8:20
Speaker 2: non citizens voting. And that's what he's admitting to. And
8:25
Speaker 2: people think, if that's what he's admitting to, why would
8:28
Speaker 2: she even admit to that while she's trying to get
8:30
Speaker 2: ahead of whatever's coming. And if she's admitting to eight thousand,
8:34
Speaker 2: that means it's probably eighty thousand. She blamed the vendor,
8:37
Speaker 2: the software vendor said, with the fault of the software vendor,
8:40
Speaker 2: they had this software incorrect or something. In other words,
8:43
Speaker 2: when you go to motor vehicle, I don't know why
8:46
Speaker 2: they well I know why they do this. When you
8:47
Speaker 2: go to motor vehicle to get your driver's license or
8:50
Speaker 2: your car registration automatically sign you up to vote. And
8:54
Speaker 2: under this software, it would sign you up even if
8:57
Speaker 2: you weren't a citizen, even if you checked off I'm
8:59
Speaker 2: not citizen, it would register you to vote. So she
9:03
Speaker 2: blamed the vendor in the software. Well, the vendor came
9:06
Speaker 2: out yesterday afternoon and said that's absolutely not the case.
9:11
Speaker 2: I mean, it was the case. But she said the
9:13
Speaker 2: government knew about it. New Jersey knew about it. They
9:16
Speaker 2: approved that software, they were told what was happening. They
9:21
Speaker 2: were informed that's what was happening. So she tried to
9:24
Speaker 2: pin it on them. At one point, she even tried
9:26
Speaker 2: to pin it on Trump. But and one thing to
9:30
Speaker 2: point out, this started, This whole thing started the software.
9:33
Speaker 2: The whole deal started under Governor Phil Murphy. Another sleeve ball,
9:38
Speaker 2: but she inherited it. Maybe that's why she was willing
9:41
Speaker 2: to get ahead of it, because she knows it's going
9:42
Speaker 2: to be a Phil Murphy problem. She said, she's brought
9:46
Speaker 2: in an outside group CSG to investigate. I don't know
9:51
Speaker 2: who CSG is, but it sounds important. It's got initials,
9:55
Speaker 2: must be something important, but they will investigate. Hey, So,
9:59
Speaker 2: William shatt and his daughter both announced that they had
10:02
Speaker 2: stage four cancer. Now this is a few years ago,
10:05
Speaker 2: and they beat It wasn't easy. It was a big fight,
10:09
Speaker 2: but they got through stage four cancer, both of them.
10:12
Speaker 2: And you know, I've always admired William Shatner. We have
10:15
Speaker 2: him on the show now and then for a lot
10:17
Speaker 2: of things. One, I mean, he's just a great guy,
10:19
Speaker 2: a great character, but and a genius at career management.
10:24
Speaker 2: His entire career. He just keeps going. You know, a
10:26
Speaker 2: lot of times the guy's in a big hit series
10:29
Speaker 2: and then can't get anything going for the next thirty years.
10:31
Speaker 2: He's always got something going on, whether it's singing or
10:35
Speaker 2: books or whatever. He's always got something going on. And
10:40
Speaker 2: he's tough. He's really tough. He got through the cancer
10:43
Speaker 2: stage four he and his daughter, and the daughter, Melanie
10:46
Speaker 2: talked about how her father told her about how to
10:50
Speaker 2: fight through things. It's kind of trump like, you just
10:52
Speaker 2: no matter what you hit with, just keep fighting. But
10:54
Speaker 2: there's the daughter.
10:55
Speaker 5: His response was like, I'm going to be fine. You
10:59
Speaker 5: just were luck steam roll like the way you do.
11:02
Speaker 5: You just steamed roll through it like I'm stage five.
11:05
Speaker 1: I don't believe I'm gonna truly.
11:08
Speaker 2: Yeah, just steam roll through it.
11:11
Speaker 5: Uh.
11:11
Speaker 2: And Shatner, you know, people said, were you're afraid. Fear
11:14
Speaker 2: is blinding, Fear mitigates everything. Fear so it's a wall.
11:21
Speaker 2: If you're told you're gonna die, well I better get
11:26
Speaker 2: busy and do something. You better get busy.
11:29
Speaker 6: No time.
11:30
Speaker 2: But now, Yeah, it's one of the things you got
11:34
Speaker 2: to admire about Trump, love him or hate him. The
11:37
Speaker 2: guy is fearless. You know. They used to talk about
11:40
Speaker 2: even Nixon's enemies. Nixon, they would say, was so tough
11:44
Speaker 2: no matter what he what he got hit with, he'd
11:46
Speaker 2: battle his way back. He'd pick himself off off the
11:49
Speaker 2: canvas and fight back. And but Trump has done that
11:53
Speaker 2: a million times more. I mean, look what this guy
11:56
Speaker 2: went through before the other year, before the election. Look
11:59
Speaker 2: what he went through. Gets arrested and indicted in four
12:03
Speaker 2: different places. Can you imagine if you got arrested and indicted,
12:05
Speaker 2: You're going on trial facing prison. You're on trial, you
12:10
Speaker 2: got to go to court. You've been indicted fifty two.
12:15
Speaker 2: I imagine what you would feel like, which, well, okay, imagine
12:17
Speaker 2: if that happened on four different cities at once, all
12:21
Speaker 2: at the same time. You're on trial and pomp Beach
12:23
Speaker 2: for documents. You're on trial in Georgia for election this fraud,
12:27
Speaker 2: or you're on trial in New York for a charge
12:29
Speaker 2: nobody can still figure out. You're being sued by egen carry.
12:33
Speaker 2: You're in four courtrooms at all at the same time.
12:35
Speaker 2: Talk about four d chests. You're fighting four major legal
12:38
Speaker 2: battles at once. The guy never flinched, never even blinked.
12:44
Speaker 2: It's an amazing talent to have to be that tough
12:47
Speaker 2: to fight through anything like that. But he did it.
12:51
Speaker 2: You got to admire that. It's pretty impressive. Hey, the
12:54
Speaker 2: other thing with President Trump announced they're going to do
12:56
Speaker 2: the Trump accounts. You know, we got Social Security, which
13:01
Speaker 2: is a system that's about to collapse. It's almost out
13:04
Speaker 2: of money. The Trump account's a pretty good idea. When
13:06
Speaker 2: you're born, when the baby is born a thousand dollars
13:10
Speaker 2: government puts one thousand dollars into an account. They put
13:12
Speaker 2: it in a real solid investment s and P five
13:16
Speaker 2: hundred that kind of stuff, and you can't take the
13:19
Speaker 2: money out. It just keeps compounding. And it's Warren Buffett
13:22
Speaker 2: always says, though, best way to get rich is invested money.
13:25
Speaker 2: That just keeps compounding. So by the time you're twenty one,
13:29
Speaker 2: that thousand dollars could be a couple hundred, three hundred thousand, whatever.
13:33
Speaker 2: You could use it for a college education, you could
13:35
Speaker 2: leave it in there, it would by the time you're thirty,
13:38
Speaker 2: it'd be a million dollars. It's a great idea. So
13:41
Speaker 2: they started and Michael Dell is one of the big
13:44
Speaker 2: backers of this. He donated some crazy number like one
13:47
Speaker 2: hundred million to fund these things. But this is President
13:50
Speaker 2: Trump on the Trump accounts.
13:51
Speaker 7: And for decades Washington politicians gave our children absolutely nothing
13:56
Speaker 7: but debt. But the Trump accounts were finally seeing and
14:00
Speaker 7: ensuring that every young American gets a great start in
14:03
Speaker 7: life and a really fair shot at the American dream,
14:06
Speaker 7: which is what we all want.
14:08
Speaker 2: They all aspire to that. That's this is such a
14:11
Speaker 2: great thing. I was watching MSNBC Struggle to tell you
14:14
Speaker 2: what's wrong with it it's so good. I think they
14:18
Speaker 2: were tried very hard to tell you whether it's a bit,
14:20
Speaker 2: it's a horrible thing. It's another Trump disasterday. They couldn't
14:24
Speaker 2: quite make the case though. There's really no way to
14:26
Speaker 2: put that down. Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred
14:29
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten is the number, and
14:33

Speaker 8: Was Donald Trump ever on with Johnny Carson? And did
15:26
Speaker 8: Johnny Carson like him?
15:30
Speaker 2: That's a very good question. Well, yeah, Johnny Carson loved
15:32
Speaker 2: him because guess where Johnny Carson had an apartment in
15:35
Speaker 2: New York Trump Tower, Trump Tower, that's right, the apartment there.
15:41
Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember now. Of course he was on
15:43

Speaker 2: off the ear ninety two. Yeah, I'll have to check
15:49
Speaker 2: on that. I'll have to check on that. But of
15:51
Speaker 2: course many Letterman appearances, and Letterman loved him. Everybody loved them.
15:55
Speaker 2: Colbert loved him and was fawning all over him. Then
15:57
Speaker 2: the day he ran for office, all of a sudden
15:59
Speaker 2: these got hated them. But a good question. We'll check
16:02
Speaker 2: on that. Let's go to Chris in Manhattan. Chris, how

16:18
Speaker 2: He's always in panic. Where it's a disaster, everything's going
16:20
Speaker 2: to go bad. Now what are you panicking about? Now?

Speaker 6: She's running on universal school meals, green new deal, cancel
16:36
Speaker 6: school debt, abolish ice. Those are her platforms.
16:38
Speaker 5: Yes, why is nobody going after and saying definitively that
16:43
Speaker 5: she did not marry her brother, she did not commit.
16:45
Speaker 2: Him aggression, which she is under investigation.
16:48
Speaker 5: What we waiting for?
16:49
Speaker 6: It's been so long.
16:51
Speaker 2: You gotta stop panicking. That's the way it works with
16:54
Speaker 2: these investigations. They take six months, eight months, they're not
16:57
Speaker 2: three days. That's what it takes. That calm down.
17:00
Speaker 6: Calm down, I mean, first Obama placed within the gate

17:32
Speaker 9: a shortage of the memory chips and Apple has increased
17:36

17:52
Speaker 2: phones and then the one. We unfold it and it's
17:54
Speaker 2: twice the size of a screen. Uh, that's pretty good.
17:58
Speaker 2: Battery life a lot longer in the new one. They're
18:01
Speaker 2: gonna make it a little thicker. You know, usually they
18:03
Speaker 2: make them thinner. It'sn be a little thicker. That's the
18:05
Speaker 2: way they get a lot more battery power in there.
18:07
Speaker 2: That's all we know so far. It's the iPhone eighteen.
18:10
Speaker 2: It'll be out in September. Good question. Let's go to Jerry, Greenwich, Connecticut. Jerry,

18:48
Speaker 4: I don't care either, but you know.
18:50
Speaker 2: Y, I don't worry about it. But when he wants
18:51
Speaker 2: to go, when he wants to go to the restroom.
18:53
Speaker 2: It's a real talema. He doesn't even know where to go.
18:55
Speaker 2: It's a I mean, listen, this just gets nuttier and
18:58
Speaker 2: nuttier and nuttier. But it's it's it's great for it's
19:02
Speaker 2: great for for Republicans. It's just going to help them

19:10
Speaker 2: how you doing stay park?
19:13
Speaker 5: Oh?
19:14
Speaker 2: I was like, I like a guy.
19:16
Speaker 8: It sounds hey. I just want to say, I just
19:19
Speaker 8: want to say thank you. You're you're a terrific host.
19:21
Speaker 8: And you talk about the problems with the bunker Busters
19:25
Speaker 8: and whynot why do not you seeal off all the entrances?
19:28
Speaker 2: Well, as I said, we're doing that.
19:31
Speaker 4: Oh that's good, all right, it's just dinging.
19:34
Speaker 2: And banging and what are you doing right now? That
19:37
Speaker 2: sounds like a car on.
19:37
Speaker 8: My way to see my ninety nine year old mother
19:39
Speaker 8: in the hospital and I had to get the ticket
19:42
Speaker 8: out of the boost of paper parking, so I had
19:46
Speaker 8: to lean out of the car and it's just walk.
19:48
Speaker 8: Start anyway on a Friday, when you take off, why
19:51
Speaker 8: don't you get Vincent?
19:52
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know that Vincent wants to do it.
19:54
Speaker 2: We'll ask him. Uh, hey, where you're great, where you're parking,
19:59
Speaker 2: you got to get a like an actual paper ticket
20:01
Speaker 2: comes out of a machine.
20:02
Speaker 8: I got to get a paper ticket and after paper
20:04
Speaker 8: parking to go see somebody in the hospital.
20:06
Speaker 2: Go figure it. I know, but you would think it
20:07
Speaker 2: would be bluetooth everywhere. You wouldn't have to get an
20:09
Speaker 2: actual paper ticket, you know, and thanks for calling. You
20:13
Speaker 2: know these shopping malls where you got to pay the
20:15
Speaker 2: park and you got to get a ticket and then
20:17
Speaker 2: or if you buy something, they'll stamp it and then
20:20
Speaker 2: you got to go out and pay it a toll.
20:22
Speaker 2: But these shopping malls, get rid of that. All these
20:26
Speaker 2: malls are empty. They're desperate for business. Stop charging people
20:29
Speaker 2: to park in there. It's not even the money, it's
20:30
Speaker 2: just a waiting in line to get out. Stop it
20:33
Speaker 2: at those shopping malls. Just in fact. You know what,
20:37
Speaker 2: We'll give you five dollars if you come to the mall.
20:40
Speaker 2: That would be better. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn Vincent.
20:43
Speaker 6: How you doing, Good morning, Mark Buck. I would gladly
20:46
Speaker 6: host the show for a day. I'd even join after
20:49
Speaker 6: and say, Mack, come on, tell the truth. They sent
20:53
Speaker 6: you to new iPhone eighteen to try out right.
20:56
Speaker 2: Nope, yet not yet.
20:58
Speaker 6: All well, next month before you mentioned that sixty eight
21:02
Speaker 6: million people watched the soccer game in the United States,
21:06
Speaker 6: probably worldwide over three hundred million because all of my
21:11
Speaker 6: friends in Europe, in Italy and elsewhere were watching the game,
21:16
Speaker 6: and they also had money on the game. But unfortunately
21:20
Speaker 6: for the viewers here, that was part of Spain strategy.
21:24
Speaker 6: They knew Argentina was a strong team, so what they
21:28
Speaker 6: decided to do was not let Argentina get the ball
21:32
Speaker 6: and just here and there take opportunistic shot gold shots.
21:37
Speaker 6: That was their strategy.
21:38
Speaker 2: You know, But visit, what kind of game is this
21:40
Speaker 2: where three hours nobody scores? What kind of game is that?
21:43
Speaker 6: I look, Mark, all of my friends said the same thing,
21:47
Speaker 6: and all of them unfortunately lost money because they thought
21:52
Speaker 6: that Argentina was going to pull it out of the
21:55
Speaker 6: hat at the last minute. But you're right, Mark, that
21:58
Speaker 6: was one of the most boring games I have I
22:02
Speaker 6: have ever seen. The best World Cup was in twenty
22:06
Speaker 6: oh six between Italy and France, where when you're told
22:10
Speaker 6: the time, there was even some fisticuffs on the field.
22:14
Speaker 6: Little fighting gave me a like American hockey. That's what
22:17
Speaker 6: we want to see.
22:18
Speaker 2: That's good, Vincent, great point. Thanks for explaining all that
22:22
Speaker 2: to us. Hey, when we come back, Charlie Gasparino will
22:24
Speaker 2: be with us. He's got a lot to say about
22:26
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie New York Business. We'll get to that next
22:30
Speaker 2: on seven to ten.
22:31
Speaker 1: Wo R It's more Mark the March, Simonia. I'm wr well.
22:38
Speaker 2: Charlie Gasprino the best business reporter in the world. And Hey,
22:43
Speaker 2: make sure you get his book, Go Woke, Go Broke.
22:46
Speaker 2: You'll love this book, big best seller, Go Woke, Go
22:49
Speaker 2: Broke by Charlie Gasprina. Course you can read all his columns.
22:51
Speaker 2: You can watch them all over television, Fox Business uh
22:55
Speaker 2: and FoxBusiness dot Com. You can get his columns there.
22:58
Speaker 2: Charlie Gasparino, you doing good?
23:01
Speaker 5: What's happening? Mark?
23:03
Speaker 2: I don't know? You tell me? Uh that Go Woke,
23:05
Speaker 2: Go Broke is a great book. Do we need to
23:08
Speaker 2: send a copy to everybody in New York and remind
23:10
Speaker 2: them of what could happen with Mom Donnie?
23:13
Speaker 5: Oh? I mean this is I mean Mondanni unfortunately is
23:17
Speaker 5: beyond woke. I mean this is pretty much hardline socialism, communism.
23:22
Speaker 5: I don't you know it sounds like it sounds like overly.
23:27
Speaker 5: Uh you know, I'm being I'm being like sort of
23:30
Speaker 5: too much here when I call them a communist? Am
23:33
Speaker 5: I really? I mean? Am I? Am I over? Am
23:35
Speaker 5: I fustraating? This what he's trying to do here? What
23:39
Speaker 5: he says, how we how we promote certain things is
23:42
Speaker 5: idiocy with net Nyahu? He wants to rest them. Is
23:46
Speaker 5: this like this this guy has missed the third world
23:50
Speaker 5: is wrapped up in a smile, and it's it's actually
23:54
Speaker 5: quite scary.
23:55
Speaker 2: But all the great business leaders of New York, you know,
23:57
Speaker 2: all these guys, what is their strategy? Just wait a min.
24:01
Speaker 5: Remember they're so rich and they're so diversified. You know,
24:05
Speaker 5: it doesn't you know, what he does almost doesn't matter
24:09
Speaker 5: to these guys, right, I mean when it comes to
24:11
Speaker 5: just from a personal standpoint, they all have tons of security.
24:15
Speaker 5: They don't rely on the cops that much. They have
24:18
Speaker 5: homes in Florida, you know they they or wherever you know,
24:22
Speaker 5: you know, Jackson Hole, you know that they're there, So
24:27
Speaker 5: it doesn't really matter there. Their companies have diversified a
24:31
Speaker 5: lot out of New York already, So some of this
24:34
Speaker 5: is not really They're they're they're sort of shielded from
24:38
Speaker 5: some of this. Obviously, they have big presence here in
24:40
Speaker 5: New York. Still, it still is what it is. But
24:45
Speaker 5: you know, so they look at this as playing a
24:47
Speaker 5: long game. I think one of the problems they have
24:50
Speaker 5: is that they they've been playing the long game now
24:52
Speaker 5: for a long time. And what they haven't realized is
24:55
Speaker 5: that the Democratic Socialists the Communists have actually taken over
24:59
Speaker 5: government in many ways. You know, they're all in Albany,
25:03
Speaker 5: you know, they control they control the state legislature more
25:05
Speaker 5: more or less. They basically tell Governor Hope, who's supposed
25:08
Speaker 5: to be a moderate, what to do, and she does it.
25:11
Speaker 5: And now they have a perch in New York City
25:13
Speaker 5: and it's you know, in the mayor in Gracie Mansion.
25:17
Speaker 5: And it's pretty scary. And I don't know what to
25:22
Speaker 5: do because I don't think there's a solution other than leaving.
25:27
Speaker 5: To be honest with you, I just don't think when
25:29
Speaker 5: you import as many people as we imported in this country,
25:32
Speaker 5: and that critically stated, and that that domicile here in
25:35
Speaker 5: New York from the Third World, you know, socialism and
25:38
Speaker 5: communism is kind of you know, what they what they're
25:42
Speaker 5: used to, and of course they want benefits. And those
25:45
Speaker 5: people are start you know, are now voting their citizens,
25:48
Speaker 5: and so they've changed the political dynamic here. I mean,
25:52
Speaker 5: we have a lot of third world people in this
25:55
Speaker 5: city and that is the that is and this is
25:58
Speaker 5: what they what they want, and Mondami is preaching to them.
26:02
Speaker 5: Maybe you combine them with these uh you know white
26:05
Speaker 5: lefties that that come from all over the country. It's
26:08
Speaker 5: the same it's the same thing.
26:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you can't talk about leaving. That's uh, I mean,
26:12
Speaker 2: that's gonna make the whole thing worse. That's what happens.
26:15
Speaker 2: If people leave. You got to stay and fight it.
26:19
Speaker 5: Well, if you know, listen, I've read some sue you
26:24
Speaker 5: don't stay and fight when you're when you have you know,
26:26
Speaker 5: astronomical odds against you. You cut and run and fight
26:30
Speaker 5: for another day. The best way to fight this, I
26:32
Speaker 5: think is to leave. I don't think it is to stay,
26:36
Speaker 5: because I just think it's not that you're you're just again,
26:39
Speaker 5: you're just you know, pushing against it. An unmovable object
26:43
Speaker 5: right now, which is an electorate that is so far
26:46
Speaker 5: to the left that you know, we can sit here
26:48
Speaker 5: and complain about it. And and by the way, it's
26:51
Speaker 5: good for your ratings. You know, this is you know,
26:53
Speaker 5: Yo and and Fox and and TV is often a
26:56
Speaker 5: niche business that you want to you know, you want
26:59
Speaker 5: to attract certain people. But you know, just the trend
27:02
Speaker 5: is not your friend here. So I'm very typtomistic here.
27:08
Speaker 5: And and on top of it all, you know, you
27:10
Speaker 5: do have a propaganda machine at work here in most
27:13
Speaker 5: of the media, I mean, Mondmi is proposing some of
27:16
Speaker 5: the real dumbest stuff in the world, except in the
27:19
Speaker 5: New York Post, my newspaper. What who's covering one?
27:24
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the problem.
27:25
Speaker 5: What is the Times doing? I mean, what is the
27:28
Speaker 5: Times just kind of cheering him on? Would you get you?
27:32
Speaker 5: Did you read that softball interview? Yeah? I mean it
27:36
Speaker 5: was the dumbest thing in the world. He couldn't define
27:38
Speaker 5: middle working class. She barely pressed him on it. He couldn't.
27:42
Speaker 5: He said he was gonna arrest net Yeah when he
27:44
Speaker 5: has when Yeah, is a diplomatic immunity. I mean even
27:47
Speaker 5: I know that, And I'm just in order and just
27:51
Speaker 5: and then he then he talks about capital flight. I
27:53
Speaker 5: found that very interesting. There hasn't been capital flight yet, well,
27:56
Speaker 5: if he knows anything about capital flight, it's like bankruptcy, right,
28:00
Speaker 5: it happens gradually then all of a sudden, and you
28:03
Speaker 5: know there is there is, there are warning signs for
28:06
Speaker 5: capital flight right now. Obviously capital is leaving. People are leaving. Now,
28:11
Speaker 5: you're going to reach it at some point it gets
28:13
Speaker 5: so bad where there's a tipping point where you can't
28:14
Speaker 5: pay your bills, and that could happen. You see it
28:17
Speaker 5: in UNI bond prices. By what muni bond prices of
28:20
Speaker 5: New York City UNI bonds should be going up if
28:23
Speaker 5: there was a normal guy raising taxes and doing whatever,
28:26
Speaker 5: you know, keeping New York City government big as it's been.
28:28
Speaker 5: You know, this has been a socialist government. You know,
28:31
Speaker 5: even when Rudy was running things, it wasn't exactly free
28:33
Speaker 5: market capitalism. You know, you should be people should be
28:38
Speaker 5: flocking to New York City bonds because they're triple tax free. Right,
28:42
Speaker 5: we're not getting that. I'm looking at it. Week by week.
28:44
Speaker 5: We're starting to get spikes and yields, which means the
28:47
Speaker 5: prices are going down. That means less people are buying
28:49
Speaker 5: these things. And that I listen, I checked this week
28:53
Speaker 5: to week and then you know it's the long term
28:56
Speaker 5: you got to look at. But you know, since he's
28:57
Speaker 5: been off in office, bond prices, vond yields have been up.
29:01
Speaker 5: They stabilized a little bit when he bounced the budget,
29:04
Speaker 5: even if it was a you know, crappy balance it
29:06
Speaker 5: with state aid and some gimmick with detention fund. But
29:11
Speaker 5: you know, it's stabilized. And now it's back to you know,
29:14
Speaker 5: you see rising yields, lower prices. Rising yields means people
29:18
Speaker 5: are demanding more return for their bonds. That means the
29:21
Speaker 5: price is going down because they're worried about, you know,
29:26
Speaker 5: what this guy is doing. And again it should be
29:28
Speaker 5: going up because he's raising taxes, but they're worried about
29:31
Speaker 5: the other side. You know, what type of governments is
29:34
Speaker 5: he doing? It will ultimately be able to afford it?
29:37
Speaker 5: Is it worth lending the city money for ten years?
29:40
Speaker 5: That's kind of the calculation that people are doing because
29:44
Speaker 5: the trend in New York City politically isn't just not good.
29:48
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, all who is the.
29:51
Speaker 5: Loyal Republican opposition to Mondami right now?
29:55
Speaker 2: Well, the best thing on the horizon, Bruce Blake, when
29:57
Speaker 2: who's got a chance to be elected governor, wouldn't that
30:00
Speaker 2: be a turning point?
30:01
Speaker 5: Yeah? He would be great. He would be great. But
30:03
Speaker 5: I you know, I was talking to Governor DeSantis about
30:06
Speaker 5: this and we both agree. Bruce Brake Blakeman's a really
30:09
Speaker 5: smart guy and he's level headed. You know, he's clearly
30:12
Speaker 5: not a far right winger or anything like that. He's
30:14
Speaker 5: a typical conservative New York conservative. And with DeSantis told me,
30:21
Speaker 5: and it kind of brings true, is a lot of
30:23
Speaker 5: tax payer players. The payers have left and they're moving
30:27
Speaker 5: to Florida, Carolina, And so his base has been eroded
30:33
Speaker 5: because of this nonsense. So I I just he has
30:35
Speaker 5: an uphill battle. Listen, I hope he wins. You know,
30:39
Speaker 5: I'm praying for him to win. I know Bruce a
30:41
Speaker 5: little bit. He's a smart guy. He'd be a great governor. Yeah,
30:45
Speaker 5: and he'd be he'd be the loyal opposition to Montdommie.
30:48
Speaker 5: But like on a city level, though, who do we
30:51
Speaker 5: have we have nobody?
30:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, you're speaking of that. We're talking Charlie Gasp's
30:57
Speaker 2: speaking to DeSantis. He's term limited out. Now what his
31:00
Speaker 2: next move? Where do you think he goes?
31:02
Speaker 5: You know, I did ask him that I interviewed him
31:05
Speaker 5: at the Milken Conference back in May. Uh, you know,
31:10
Speaker 5: everything's up in the air, you know. He you know,
31:13
Speaker 5: he didn't rule out a presidential run. By the way,
31:18
Speaker 5: the guy is such a great operational governor, right, he
31:22
Speaker 5: knows how to run. You could see him being on
31:26
Speaker 5: any board of any major company. Would watch this guy.
31:29
Speaker 5: I mean, he can make a few bucks. He's in
31:30
Speaker 5: government most of his life, most of his professional life,
31:34
Speaker 5: I should say. But you know there's always rumors about
31:38
Speaker 5: him being on the Supreme Court Supreme Court. Really so
31:43
Speaker 5: the guy. The guy's really smart. I mean, sit down
31:47
Speaker 5: with five minutes.
31:48
Speaker 6: I mean he's.
31:50
Speaker 5: Question before you even I mean, he just knows stuff.
31:53
Speaker 5: He's really sharp. He's Yeah, Supreme Court might not be
31:56
Speaker 5: for him because you know you can see his eyes.
31:59
Speaker 5: He's incredibly ambitious. Yeah, I mean I just saw it, like,
32:02
Speaker 5: here'sing this to this guy. This guy is really ambitious.
32:06
Speaker 5: But you know, I think everything's kind of on the table,
32:09
Speaker 5: including running for president.
32:10
Speaker 1: Again.
32:10
Speaker 5: I you know, he didn't. The problem with him is
32:14
Speaker 5: that you know, you know, he doesn't get this stick.
32:18
Speaker 5: Although he's getting better at you know, in Trump, so
32:21
Speaker 5: it's not easy, and this was his first time before
32:26
Speaker 5: the in the national spotlight. But he would make a
32:28
Speaker 5: great president and just he knows how to run things,
32:32
Speaker 5: and he's really smart. You know. I think it's all
32:36
Speaker 5: on the table. And you know, the world's is oyster.
32:39
Speaker 5: He's what forty five or something? It was forty, isn't he?
32:42
Speaker 2: Yeah? So, and what happens to Florida? You need a
32:48
Speaker 2: good governor to continue the success they've had down there.
32:52
Speaker 5: Well, I think they have. They have a good bench there.
32:55
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, one of the interesting things that
32:57
Speaker 5: all these Southerners complain about is that when Republicans, when
33:03
Speaker 5: Northerners moved to the South, they turned the state more liberal,
33:09
Speaker 5: just the opposite. Well, clearly in Florida, just the opposite happened, right,
33:12
Speaker 5: It became more conservative when New Yorkers ran moved down there,
33:16
Speaker 5: because these were the conservative New Yorkers that went down there.
33:20
Speaker 5: So I think they do have a good bench and
33:23
Speaker 5: they you know, Byron Donald is a smart guy. I
33:25
Speaker 5: know him. I think he's running for governor. Yeah, I
33:28
Speaker 5: don't know who who DeSantis is endorsed, to be honestors,
33:32
Speaker 5: you haven't paid attention to it, but I know Byron's
33:35
Speaker 5: a smart guy, he's a conservative, he's no wimp. You know.
33:40
Speaker 5: I think he filled the Anthusis shoes just fine.
33:44
Speaker 4: I think.
33:45
Speaker 2: All right. Well, Charlie Gasprino, great stuff as always. And hey,
33:48
Speaker 2: everybody get his book, Go Walk.
33:50
