  Speaker 1: Now on the Voice of New York. It's the Mark
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Simone Show on seven tenor.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: Hey, it's spring. It's the first day of spring. How
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: do you like that? Winter is gone? It's over. It's
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: spring today. It's also Friday. A lot to talk about.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We'll give you all the latest on Iran. We'll give
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: you a complete update on the war. We'll get to
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: the bacheloret who should get fired over that mess. We'll
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: get to CBS speaking of firing, they're laying off a
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: lot of people today. We'll get to crazy Kathy Hochel.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: We'll get to a crazy mayor, mom, Donny's looney wife.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: We'll get to Bob Barker, We'll get to Chuck Schumer,
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: and a whole lot more coming up. So Iran, Well, hey,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: we killed last night in one of our strikes. Well
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I think it's Israel actually, but we killed the spokesperson,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the spokesman for the Iran Revolutionary Guard. It's not exactly
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the safest job to have right now, the spokesman for
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: the Revolutionary Guard. He was killed last night, blown up.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: The war continues. The USS Tripoli, a very serious warship,
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: is heading to Iran right now, along with some other assets,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm sure Iran knows this, and then they
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: know things are going to escalate seriously when this stuff
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: gets there, the stuff heading their amphibious crafts that Tripoli
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: can do very very close up work with small planes,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: helicopters probably be used to take out drones, all that
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: sort of stuff. And it will be a big help
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: in opening the Straits of horn Moose, which will open
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: in a couple of weeks. It'll be open. It's about
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: thirty nine ships a day, tankers thirty nine tankers a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: day that come out of the Straits of horn Moose.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: It doesn't affect us much because we don't use that oil,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: but it affects worldwide prices. So you'll see a lot
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: of action when the ship gets there. So the next
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: two weeks you'll probably see just everything wiped out and
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: pretty much the end of all the offensive assets of Iran,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and then things will be different. Then you may see
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: a boot on the ground for a little for a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: few minutes here and there, and then it should be
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: the mop up and clean up of all that. Now
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: we are talking to Iran. US officials and Iranian officials
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: are in talks back channel talks are taking place. But
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: also we're talking with people on the ground in Iran,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: possible opposition people they want to revolt against this government,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: people that might take over. We have people in the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: intelligence community talking to them. So things are progressing. President
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: wants two hundred billion dollars in funding for the Iraq effort.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Congress doesn't want to give it to them. Of course,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Democrats and some Republicans yelling and screaming about that. We
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: don't really need two hundred billion. It cost about two
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: billion a day and it's not expected to go another
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: one hundred days. But the reason they want a big
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: amount is they want all the money right now. They
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: don't have to go back and ask for more money
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: during the summer or the fall, because that's when the
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: midterms take place. It will look bad to be asking
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: for more money then. So that's why they're asking for
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: a huge amount now. Democrats know that, and that's why
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: they're negotiating. They want to give it, give you a
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: little now, you have to keep coming back for more
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: because they want that to happen during the midterm race,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Trump having to ask for more money. So yesterday, the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: Japanese Prime Minister is visiting the White House. And you
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: have to remember the fake news. The Democrats, the media
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: have one mission, and that is to just wipe out Trump,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: make him look bad. Whatever he does is horrendous, anything
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: he does is awful. Even when it comes to US
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: at war, they'll take the other side. They'll hope it
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: goes badly. They'll hope it's a disaster. They'll hope we
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: screw up because it'll make Trump look bad. Anything to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: make Trump look bad. And then they create this fake narrative.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: They broadcast the fake narrative. It usually starts with the
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: New York Times of the Washington Post, and then all
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: the TV and all the websites pick it up, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: then all the sheep out there start repeating it. You know,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: when the Iran war started, a New York Times, a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: violation of international law, and then that's all you heard.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It's a total violation of international law. And then all
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: the sheep are running around violated international law. Nobody ever
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: bothered to tell them. There's no such thing as international law.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It doesn't exist anywhere. I guess you could look at
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: court decisions around the world, but it doesn't affect us.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: It has no standing. I mean, it doesn't there is
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: no international law that we have to follow. We follow
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: only but don't tell them that. Then even if you
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: did tell them, they won't believe you. So the current
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: whatever you're going to hear for the next day or two,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: you'll see it on the Sunday shows, was the Trump
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: seriously offended the Japanese Prime minister. He said something so
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: outrageous to her. The Japanese prime minister, by the way,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: loves him, loves him. And you'll notice you're not supposed
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: to do this. She kept calling them Donald in the meeting,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in front of the press, all the press there. Even
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: if you're his closest friend on Earth, you call him
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: mister president in public. Maybe in private, he'll tell you.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: In private, call me Donald, But in public you say
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: mister President. But she kept saying Donald. And she was
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: doing that deliberately because President Trump is loved in Japan.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: She's the new president, and she wants the population, the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: public of Japan to see that she has a good
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: relationship with him. That's very important for her. So she
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: kept calling him Donald. And even the interpreter's giving her
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: a look like you want me to say Donald, But
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: he said Donald. So this is the line. This is
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: the fake news went crazy with the sheep, will all
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: go crazy repeating this. The reporter asks about the attack
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: in Iran, it's kind of a dumb question. Why did
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you make it a surprise. Why didn't you tell your allies? Well,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: first of all, we can't trust these allies right now,
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: and you have to keep it a surprise. The attack
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: on Iran the first wave. The whole secret of it
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: was the surprise, because that's how we took out the
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Ayatola and the top forty leaders all at once. They
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: had no idea an attack was coming, so they actually held
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: a meeting out in the open. They all got together
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: in one building and met, and that's where we blew
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: them all up and got the Ayatola. If you had
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: told the allies, they would have leaked it to somebody
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: and there never would have been that meeting, So we
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: never would have gotten the Ayatola and forty one leaders
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the first day. But the reporter asked him, why did
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you keep it a secret?
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: One thing?
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: You don't want to signal too much, you know when
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: we go in, we went in very hard, and we
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise. Who
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: knows better about surprise in Japan, he why didn't you
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay, right, he's asking me,
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: do you believe in surprise? I think much more so
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: than us.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: All right, now, you're gonna see this on the Sunday shows.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: You see this all over the thing, and it was
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: outrageously How dare he say something like, well, okay, you're
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: not supposed to if you're the president. I mean, you
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: can't picture Bush Obama, anybody making a Pearl Harbor joke
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: in front of the Japanese Prime Minister. You're not supposed
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: to do it. But he's not. Trump's not a politician.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: He's not a politician. He's a real regular guy and
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: he's got a good Don Rickles side to him, and
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: people love it. And actually, there's some people that are
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: never gonna like Trump. They want a traditional politician. They
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: like the formality of a professional politician. They don't want
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a real guy from real life coming into government talking
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like that. They don't want the Don Rickles stuff coming out.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: But let's listen to that again. I think it was
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: great moment. If you love Trump, this is one of
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: his finest moments.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: One thing you don't want to signal too much. You
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: know when we go in, we went in very hard,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: and we didn't tell anybody about it because we wanted surprise.
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Okay, Hey, why
• 8:16
  Speaker 5: didn't you tell me about Pearl Harbor? Okay, right, he's
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: askab me. Do you believe in surprise? I think much
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: more so than us.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, I know you're not supposed to do
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: that if you're a present, but it's great. It's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: great moment, and it's absolutely true, and we have a
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: right to make Pearl Harbor jokes if we if we
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: want to. Hey, as I said, over there at CBS,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: they're going to lay off a lot of people today.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Six percent of the news force, the workforce, six percent
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: will be laid off today right over there in the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: fifty seventh Street. They think the total will reach fifteen
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: percent in the coming weeks. It's they describe it as
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: an industry shift. Well, yeah, a lot of people work
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: in these places. I mean ton of people. You know,
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: in the good old days, if you were CBS Nightly
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: News you had eight nine million viewers, Primetime you had
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: twenty million viewers. Morning show you had five six million viewers.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: It's a different world now. Nightly News three and a
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: half million viewers, Prime Time maybe six million viewers, Morning
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: show maybe one and a half, maybe one million. You
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: don't have the audience anymore. And when the audience drops
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: by like seventy five percent, so do the advertising rates
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: that the sponsor pays. And then your revenue is less.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: And if your revenue is a lot less, you got
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: to cut your workforce. If you had eight thousand people
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: working there, you got to cut it to four thousand
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: or something like that. So that's what's going on, as
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: the new CBS News president says, it's industry wide, an
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: industry shift. It'll go on at all the different networks,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: and it's got to happen. Gotta happen. So the Bachelourette
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: on AB, they know you had The Bachelor, the Bachelorette,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: so they do a whole season at once before it
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: even starts airing, kind of like The Apprentice. They film
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: the whole season and then they air it. The only
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: thing they say for the end is the final where
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: they choose the person that's got to be live. But
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: when you film the whole season, it's about two million
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: dollars an episode, believe it or not to do the
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Bachelorette two million an episode. I think they had four
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: or five ready to go fully edited, and more in
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the works. But the whole season can cost let's say
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: thirty thirty five million, some even say fifty, but figure
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: thirty five million to produce the season. So they picked
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: the Bachelorette, They filmed the whole thing with her, spend
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: all these millions. Then the video comes out of her
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: a few years ago. It turns out she's guilty of
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: serious domestic abuse and pleaded guilty and felony convictions. She
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: got probation, but the video comes out where she's with
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: the husband and their little little daughter is right there
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: two feet away, and she's screaming and cursing and fighting
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and kicking with the husband, and then she picks up
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: a chair to whack them with the chair. I mean,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: this is like Richie Aprile and ABC didn't know about it.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: So because of this, because of this, they've canceled the
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: whole season. They're going to just throw it away and
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: not use it. Now, what would you do if you
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: were ABC? I don't know. I'd still watch it. I
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: think you know it's terrible, but I'd watch it. In fact,
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: if they're smart, they'll put it out somewhere on YouTube
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: or something, or just let people see it. But now
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: the real question, somebody's gonna get fired over this, because
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: when you hire people, he's supposed to do a background check.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: You know, every major corporation when they hire people, they
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: got a whole company. That's what they do. Some security company,
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: detective agents. You just give them the names. They check
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: everybody out for you see if there's anything in their past.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: You know, they find out something, you know, to suspend
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: a driver's license. Oh go check what that was all about. Right,
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: they have a drinking problem, you know, stuff like that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: And if you have a felony conviction domestic abuse, in fact,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you've got a few felonies and been arrested a few times,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: that shows up on a background check. So if you're
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: going to spend thirty five million shooting this whole season,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: before you risk the money, you think you do a
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: background check on your bachelorette. Somebody didn't do it. It's
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a shock to me that before they'd commit to spend
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: all that money on one person, they would have a
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: background checked. And so they didn't do it, so I
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: would imagine somewhere at the top, somebody's getting fired.
• 12:45
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Usually those shows, and I actually don't know about the Bachelotte,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: usually's produced by a company who pays all this and
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: then they sell it to ABC, but usually ABC has
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: to kick in part of the financing. So whoever didn't
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: do that background check, don't be surprised if they get
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: fired over this, because it is a stupid thing. Hey,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: I loved Bob Barker the Price is Right. I didn't
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: know him that well, but he was a guest on
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: the show all the time, and I hung out with
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: him a fewtures. Was the greatest guy, this wonderful, warm,
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: sweet guy. And now all this stuff is coming out.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: One of you remember they had always had three beautiful
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: models on the prices, right, And you know, if you're
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: a little kid watching that, you like those. I like that,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Diane Parkinson, I like the other one. But turns out
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: Bob Barker on one of them, writes a book on
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: how awful he was and behind the scenes all the
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: terrible things going on, and then apparently there's a new
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: documentary coming out that shows him, and well it was
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: it became pretty well known. He and Diane Parkinson had
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: an affair. Okay, I think Barker's wife had died, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: now the other one is saying it wasn't. It was
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: more than an a fair. It was really annoying because
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: she described it as a dressing room sex in between
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: between shows. You know, they taped like four or five
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: shows in a day. But listen, that goes on all
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: the time, all the time. Try not see. I can't
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: mention it, should I mention any names? I don't know
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: what it was. I think Rodney, somebody named Rodney. I
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: won't say which Rodney, but a guy named Rodney was
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: appearing at a big venue and the agent was set
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: the checkout sent to check the venue over and Rodney said, hey,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: make sure there's a bed in the dressing room. And
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: he called Rodney. He said, yeah, I got a bed
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: in the dressing room. The only problem is right next
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: to the kitchen, a lot of noise. And Rodney said,
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm not gonna be sleeping in that bed.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: So well, it goes on all the time. It's pretty common,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: so but I hate to see Bob Barker go through
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: all of that. Hey, Hey, we did our big event
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: last night, our big networking CEO event, and I have

• 15:07
  Speaker 2: big rooftop venue. Spectacular the way it looks. It's phenomenal
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: for a networking event or any kind of event you
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: want to throw there. But it also has this outdoor

  Speaker 2: It eighty six? Wow, he was eighty six. The hell
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: did that happen? He was eighty six already. I never
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: heard anybody say a bad word about Schuck Norris. Anyway,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: let's take some calls. Let's go to Dave in Chicago. Dave,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: how you doing, Good morning, Mark. I'm doing very well,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Mark.
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: This is shocking. Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders was kicked
• 16:22
  Speaker 7: out or asked to leave a restaurant for making it
• 16:25
  Speaker 7: staff uncomfortable with her security detail. They occupied two tables.
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: And what kills me is not only is she the
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: governor of the state, but I think this sort of
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: thing happened to her once before. Where's the respect?
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Well, you're talking about Trump arrangement syndrome. You're talking about crazy,
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: unhinged Democrats, left wing nuts, and I imagine the restaurant
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of younger workers was suffering severe cases of
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: Trump arrangement syndrome. It happens. I mean, hey, enjoy the
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: fact that they're so angry and riled up and so
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: just fuming an unhinged. You can get a kick out
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: of it. Now she is the governor I wouldn't be
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: surprised if this restaurant gets visited by every inspector in
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: the world from that state. Let's go to Michael on
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: the east Side. Michael, how you doing, Mark?
• 17:19
  Speaker 8: Yeah, the event last night was spectacular.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Oh you were there?
• 17:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, In fact, you and I took a picture under
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: the chandelier, I said, Michael east Side. And in any event,
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: I met people on your team. There quite a group
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: of people.
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: Salespeople, management, a lot of Shelley Rome was there, Curtis
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: was there, Larry MENTI of course, yeah.
• 17:50
  Speaker 8: Heard Curtis. But the way the way it is done
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: was really top notch. And that space that you have there.
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: Wow, well we don't have it a building called to
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Park Avenue. It's beautiful and they got the most beautiful.
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: That you used and uh, everything was just gotten top notch,
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: incredible people that he met there from your.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: So thanks for coming, Thanks for being there last night.
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: good morning, Mark? Yes, Mike.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: To amplify what Dave was saying earlier about Sarah, how
• 18:29
  Speaker 9: could be being booted out of another restaurant? You know
• 18:33
  Speaker 9: they have cont you know Mom Donnie's wife. Every day
• 18:36
  Speaker 9: there's another thing about her liking somebody getting their head
• 18:39
  Speaker 9: chopped off, and not a peep is said about it.
• 18:41
  Speaker 9: And he's no boggain himself with some of the stuff
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: he said in the past. But Sarah Huckabe Sanders, who
• 18:47
  Speaker 9: couldn't be, you know, the most pleasant person on the
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: face of the earth, and she can't go out to
• 18:51
  Speaker 9: eat with her family, And it's astonishing that it's allowed,
• 18:55
  Speaker 9: and that nobody on the right side of the aisle
• 18:58
  Speaker 9: ever speaks out about it.
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: The vociferously look at the words discuss us and faciferously
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: whoa he's going multi syllabic on us here. Well, all right,
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: let's check back in about a month and see what
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: the condition to that restaurant is. Let's see if it's
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: you closed, gone, everybody's fired, or they've got ten thousand
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: violations from inspectors. Let's check out.
• 19:20
  Speaker 10: I'd love to see it.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks for calling. Let's go to Joe in
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Elmwood Park. Joe, how you doing, Good morning, Mark, how
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: you doing.
• 19:30
  Speaker 11: Isn't it a coincidence that New Jersey is one of
• 19:33
  Speaker 11: the states that doesn't want to open up their voting
• 19:35
  Speaker 11: Your registration books.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah. The fraud, well, hey, fraud is one of the
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: main industry of New Jersey. Listen, everybody there will admit
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: fraud every inch of government fraud, every inch of everything
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: in the public stuff in New Jersey.
• 19:52
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and that's how we got our clown. Like New
• 19:54
  Speaker 11: York got the HCEL, we got our clown over here.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you got a pretty silly well. Oh, if I
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: had to copy off somebody's test paper, i'd pick your governor.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I think she's got a few IQ points on Huckel,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: But we'll get to Hockle in the next hour. She's
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: in a lot of heat virally all over the internet
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: for she just totally contradicted herself. You know, these Democrats
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: sometimes they don't realize they're admitting how stupid they were.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that in the next hour. Schumer, same thing.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: But when we come back to one of the greatest economists,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: business writers, John Carney, Now he'll give us the real
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: story on oil prices. What's gonna happen with oil prices.
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: We'll get to that, we'll get to inflation, we'll get
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: to the economy, the real state of the economy. Coming
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: up next on seven to ten wr.
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Let's get back to the Mark Simone Show on WR.
• 20:44
  Speaker 12: Well.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: John Carney, the brilliant business editor Breitbart Business Digest. You
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: know the top economists in the world. A lot of
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the business comunity. They subscribe to the Breitbart Business Digest.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: You should too. It's great stuff. Every day. Just go
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: to bright Part and then go to newsletters and subscribe.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: It's free. Just subscribe to the Bright Part Business Digest.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: You can read John Carney there every day. John Carney,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: how you doing? Bring me back on Hey, great to
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: have you. Hey. Now tell us about oil. Saudias are saying,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: I go to one eighty of it. People all upset.
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: It's at one oh five, it's one ten. This is
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: all just temporary, isn't it.
• 21:26
  Speaker 13: It is temporary. But the problem is nobody knows how
• 21:31
  Speaker 13: long the temporary lasts. Actually, in some ways, if it
• 21:38
  Speaker 13: was seen as longer, we would actually get more US
• 21:41
  Speaker 13: investment in oil that would then help bring the oil
• 21:45
  Speaker 13: price down. They always say the cure for high prices
• 21:49
  Speaker 13: is high prices because it brings on more supply. Here
• 21:53
  Speaker 13: that's unfortunately not going to happen because the high prices
• 21:58
  Speaker 13: are being caused by the bottleneck at the straight of
• 22:02
  Speaker 13: her moves, and so nobody's going to invest in new
• 22:06
  Speaker 13: production in the US because that they expect that to
• 22:10
  Speaker 13: be cleared up.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: The real problem, though, is when.
• 22:15
  Speaker 13: If we have oil at one hundred and ten dollars
• 22:18
  Speaker 13: a barrel, gasoline at around four dollars a gallon for
• 22:22
  Speaker 13: a week or two, we're okay. If it persists at
• 22:26
  Speaker 13: that level or goes even higher. The Saudi's talking about
• 22:30
  Speaker 13: one hundred and eighty dollars a barrel. That will be
• 22:33
  Speaker 13: very bad for the economy, not because it will cause inflation,
• 22:37
  Speaker 13: but because it will actually cost the opposite, an economic contraction.
• 22:42
  Speaker 13: Every dollar extra a gallon that you have to put
• 22:46
  Speaker 13: into your car is a dollar less that you have
• 22:49
  Speaker 13: to spend on the other goods and services that you
• 22:53
  Speaker 13: buy for your house, your family. So gas says a tax,
• 22:59
  Speaker 13: slowing down the economy, And the real question is just duration.
• 23:05
  Speaker 13: Persistence one hundred and ten dollars for a couple of days,
• 23:07
  Speaker 13: we're fined for a couple months, it will slow the economy.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Now there's things the president can do, release oil
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: from the strategic reserve. He can turn up some spigots somewhere, right,
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: There's things we can do if we have to.
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: There are some things we can do, but it's actually
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: much more limited than people think.
• 23:26
  Speaker 7: We can.
• 23:29
  Speaker 13: Use the Strategic Controlling Reserve, but the problem is we
• 23:32
  Speaker 13: actually have a lot of supply in the US right now.
• 23:36
  Speaker 13: Can the President suspended the Jones Act, which controls what
• 23:39
  Speaker 13: kind of ships can move oil from the Gulf Coast
• 23:43
  Speaker 13: up the East Coast. That'll help a little bit, but
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: there's not a lot he can do because oil price
• 23:51
  Speaker 13: is not just on what's available right now, but what
• 23:54
  Speaker 13: people expect to be available in the future. Your reserves
• 23:58
  Speaker 13: have an endpoint to them. Again, if this ends quickly,
• 24:03
  Speaker 13: you probably can use the reserves to hold down prices
• 24:06
  Speaker 13: from going up. If it keeps going, you can't.
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: So let's say two weeks and six days from now
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: they reopen the straits of horn Moose, thirty forty tankers
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: a day are coming through. Then how long before the
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: price comes down?
• 24:20
  Speaker 13: Well they always say that, particularly gasoline prices, that they
• 24:25
  Speaker 13: rise like a rocket and fall like a feather. There's
• 24:30
  Speaker 13: good reason for that, in that the gas station owners
• 24:34
  Speaker 13: are nervous about dropping the price down too far, too quickly,
• 24:39
  Speaker 13: because they're always thinking, not of how much did I
• 24:43
  Speaker 13: pay for this gas? But how much will I have
• 24:45
  Speaker 13: to pay for my next tanker full of gas that
• 24:49
  Speaker 13: I have to fill up. You have to have make
• 24:50
  Speaker 13: enough money to be able to fill up the next tanker.
• 24:53
  Speaker 13: So it'll take some time for gasoline prices to come down.
• 24:56
  Speaker 13: Oil prices, though, will go down right away. I think
• 25:00
  Speaker 13: as long as people are confident that you know that
• 25:02
  Speaker 13: it's open, that it's going to stay open, we will
• 25:06
  Speaker 13: see a pretty dramatic decline in the price of oil,
• 25:09
  Speaker 13: and then gas will take a little longer to come down,
• 25:12
  Speaker 13: but not much. In pretty short order, we'll see the
• 25:16
  Speaker 13: prices start to decline, particularly if they get it done
• 25:19
  Speaker 13: quickly and get it done plausibly.
• 25:21
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 25:22
  Speaker 13: It can't just be, you know, something that where people
• 25:25
  Speaker 13: think it is, you know, we got a couple of
• 25:27
  Speaker 13: tankers through. It has to be that this twenty percent
• 25:31
  Speaker 13: of the world's oil supply that comes through there that
• 25:34
  Speaker 13: we expected to remain open for the foreseeable future.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, now, John Carney, whenever the price drops dramatically, like
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: under the first year of President Trump, it doesn't seem
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to drop in California or New York. Why is that?
• 25:48
  Speaker 13: Yeah, Well, there's there's a couple of reasons, and they
• 25:51
  Speaker 13: all rhyme with left wing politics. The California has a
• 25:59
  Speaker 13: couple problems. One is that even though we produce a
• 26:03
  Speaker 13: lot of oil in the US, California doesn't really have
• 26:06
  Speaker 13: access to very much of it. It can get California
• 26:08
  Speaker 13: out of it, can get oil that's actually taken out
• 26:11
  Speaker 13: of the ground in California, but these giant Midwest oil
• 26:16
  Speaker 13: platforms we have, there's not a good pipeline to get
• 26:20
  Speaker 13: the oil across the whole country. That's a huge problem.
• 26:26
  Speaker 13: California and New York have enormous gasoline taxes.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: Right now.
• 26:31
  Speaker 13: The national average price for gasoline is something like three
• 26:36
  Speaker 13: dollars in eighty eight, so it's called three dollars and
• 26:39
  Speaker 13: ninety cents. In California, it's well above five dollars that
• 26:42
  Speaker 13: it's approaching six dollars. So California is paying far more
• 26:46
  Speaker 13: for gas. But it's not because gas you know, gas
• 26:50
  Speaker 13: stations are greedier in California, or oil companies hate California.
• 26:55
  Speaker 13: It's because the climate change activists won't let us build
• 26:58
  Speaker 13: a pipeline to California, and California insists on taxing it.
• 27:03
  Speaker 13: They like expensive oil because they want to force people
• 27:06
  Speaker 13: to give up their internal combustion engines by making it
• 27:09
  Speaker 13: too expensive. So this is not an accident. It's not
• 27:12
  Speaker 13: even an unintended consequence of their policies. This is what
• 27:16
  Speaker 13: they were aiming for us to have, gastly more expensive.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Hey, we're talking John Carney, Breitbart Business Digest. Make
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: sure you subscribe to it. FED Chairman Jerome Powell, What
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: the hell is he talking about?
• 27:29
  Speaker 10: Now?
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: When his term is up, he may become the pro
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: temp chairman. What is he talking about? There's no such role,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: is there?
• 27:37
  Speaker 13: No, there's not. So what Palis said was that if
• 27:43
  Speaker 13: his successor, Kevin Warrish, who has been nominated by President Trump,
• 27:47
  Speaker 13: is not confirmed by May fifteenth, that he will stay
• 27:50
  Speaker 13: honest chairman. That's not allowed under the law. Now, there
• 27:54
  Speaker 13: have been times where the Senate didn't confirm the next chairman,
• 27:59
  Speaker 13: but it was the same chairman. So, in other words,
• 28:02
  Speaker 13: back when Powell got renominated during Biden's term for a
• 28:06
  Speaker 13: second term as chairman, there is a gap where the
• 28:09
  Speaker 13: Senate hadn't yet gotten around and confirming him to that role,
• 28:12
  Speaker 13: and he was allowed to stay in that role. But
• 28:15
  Speaker 13: that was because the president had already nominated him to
• 28:17
  Speaker 13: the position. That happened with Ellen Greenspan as well. There's
• 28:21
  Speaker 13: no president for a former chairman holding on to the
• 28:25
  Speaker 13: role because the next chairman hasn't been nominated. What the
• 28:29
  Speaker 13: best legal analysis we have of this, which goes back
• 28:32
  Speaker 13: to the Carter White House, says the President that will
• 28:36
  Speaker 13: select one of the sitting chairmen. Now he could be
• 28:39
  Speaker 13: he could select Powell, but I don't think Trump's going
• 28:41
  Speaker 13: to select Palce to be contemporary chairman. But he gets
• 28:46
  Speaker 13: to select one of the sitting governors to serve as chairman.
• 28:49
  Speaker 13: The Senate doesn't get to say, and that the FED
• 28:51
  Speaker 13: board doesn't get to say, and that certainly the FED.
• 28:54
  Speaker 13: The current FED chairman, whose term is expiring, doesn't get
• 28:57
  Speaker 13: to claim the power to do this unilaterally. He didn't
• 29:01
  Speaker 13: even have a vote, by the way, from the other
• 29:03
  Speaker 13: FED members to say I have this power. He is
• 29:06
  Speaker 13: unilaterally grabbing it. Frankly, if he continues to say this,
• 29:12
  Speaker 13: it could I don't think Trump will do this, but
• 29:14
  Speaker 13: it could become grounds to remove him, likely because he
• 29:17
  Speaker 13: is claiming a legal power he does not have. I
• 29:21
  Speaker 13: don't think Trump will do that, and it would be
• 29:23
  Speaker 13: a bigger hassle. What Trump should do is just announced.
• 29:26
  Speaker 13: If worsh isn't confirmed, he is going to make Steven Myron,
• 29:30
  Speaker 13: Christopher Waller, or Michelle Bowman the FED chairman until Warsh's
• 29:36
  Speaker 13: confirmation comes around.
• 29:37

• 30:48
  Speaker 2: every night at nine. It's right here on seven to ten.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Woir so Mark Simone show on sevent ten wor Well, Hey,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: it's Friday, that's the good news. Today is the first
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: day of spring. Oh, actually just happened to ten forty six,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: so we're twelve minutes into spring. Right now, it's spring.
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: We're not in winter anymore. It's officially springtime.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Remember we had three or four years of great winters
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: with hardly any snow. Ah, maybe a drop here and there.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: But remember we had a couple of winters no snow,
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: and we got used to that, and then this past
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: winter was brutal. Well, actually it was probably kind of
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: normal on the long range scale, but we got spoiled,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: so it was brutal. And remember these blizzards. It was
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: always on a Sunday. Always on a Sunday. The blizzard
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: would start Sunday afternoon go all day long. Monday was
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: a nightmare trying to get any place. And it's great
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: for the supermarket business. They love a blizzard because everybody
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: comes in and buys up everything in the whole store.
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: And you remember, it was always on a Sunday, so
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: there were a lot of sat where if you try
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: to pull into the supermarket or into the mall where
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: it is, or the shopping center where it is, you
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: couldn't get near it. Cars backed up for half a
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: mile out of there. Well it's over, it's over. And

• 33:00
  Speaker 2: minutes ago. We're now in the spring. Hey, today's the
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: birthday of Baron Trump. Baron Trump is twenty years old today,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: future president.
• 33:11
  Speaker 10: Now.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: You know a lot of people thought, well, maybe Don
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: Junior will run one day, maybe Eric Treman. Now everybody
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: thinks it's Baron. Baron is the Michael corleone of this deal,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: you know, the one that the younger one you thought
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't going to get involved in the family. But Baron
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: is a super smart kid. Baron is turns out he's tough,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: shrewd smart. Everyone thinks he will be president one day.
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: But he's twenty years old today. Now let's go back
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: twenty years. Baron is a Melania gives birth to Baron.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Donald Trump calls into this show from the hospital. Let's
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: take a listen, Donald Trump, how are you.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: I'm Mark, Hey, always great to talk to her.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: You've been a friend for a long time, Mark, So
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: that's good.
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: And congratulations. A new baby.
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: Well that's true. We have a beautiful baby, healthy and
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: going to be brought home from the hospital very shortly. Actually.
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: Now, I love the name Baron, and I love Baron Hilton.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I assume he had something to do with that name.
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: Well, Baron Hilton is a friend of mine. Also, I
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: don't even know if it's the same spelling, but Baron
• 34:11
  Speaker 6: Hilton is a friend of mine. He's a great guy.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: He's a wonderful guy. And the only guy I ever
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: knew named Baron. And it was a what a great name,
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: what a distinctive name?
• 34:18
  Speaker 15: Is Baron's a little bit more common than that. I mean,
• 34:21
  Speaker 15: I know a few people named Baron actually, but it's
• 34:24
  Speaker 15: I like it. You know, I was going to name Eric,
• 34:26
  Speaker 15: my other son, my last son. I was going to
• 34:28
  Speaker 15: name Eric Baron.
• 34:29
  Speaker 6: Huh, But I didn't quite have the courage because it
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: is a little bit out there. But you know, it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: it's been it's been great. I think.
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: I think it's really been playing very well. And I
• 34:39
  Speaker 15: like it more importantly, and Millennia likes.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: That, yeah, very good. Twenty years ago today, twenty years ago,
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: Baron Trump was born. But keep an eye on him.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: He's you know, he's in school. Right now, NYU, but
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: who knows where he's going to go. And a lot
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: of people think he will be president of the United
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: States thirty thirty years from now. As she said, well,
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: a lot to accomplish in the next thirty years. Now,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: some of these politicians. We have this crazy Kathy Hokl
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: who is just a whack job. Doesn't know what the
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: hell to say anymore so, and she's like a weathervane,
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: just keeps spinning around whatever way the wind is blowing.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: So a lot of people move to Florida because of
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: the taxes here, that sort of stuff. You know. She
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: was yelling and screaming that she was going to tax
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: all the billionaires, tax all the wealthy, tax everybody. A
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: lot of people moved away. She wants everybody back now.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Now remember this was twenty twenty two, four years ago.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: She's telling everybody to leave. If you're a Trump supporter,
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: if you're a billionaire, if you're a Republican, get the
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: hell out. She actually said.
• 35:46
  Speaker 14: It, And we're here to say that the era of
• 35:51
  Speaker 14: Trump and Zelden and moln Arrow. Just jump on a
• 35:55
  Speaker 14: bus and head down to Florida where you've belong.
• 35:57
  Speaker 15: Okay, get out.
• 35:58
  Speaker 14: Of toe, get out of town, out because you don't
• 36:02
  Speaker 14: represent our values. You are not New.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: Yorkers're a governor tell half her state to leave. How
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: stupid do you have to be to actually say something
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: like that? What is wrong with you to say you're
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: telling them half the state to leave. So a lot
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: of them did go to Florida, and the economy of
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Florida is booming. They have no taxes, there's no state tax.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: The economy is actually booming. They have no state tax.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: They take in more revenue than we do. Their budget
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: is half of ours, even though it's a bigger state.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: So that's four years ago. Now look at her now,
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: now she's asking them to come back. I guess somewhere
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: she's amazingly stupid, but not totally stupid, because she realizes
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: she needs these people back. If you tell them to leave,
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: that's your tax base, that's your main revenue source. If
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: they leave. Billionaires pay all the taxes, you know, the
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: top one percent pays like forty six percent of the taxes.
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: So she's asking them now to come back total reverse.
• 37:07
  Speaker 16: So maybe the first step should be go down to
• 37:08
  Speaker 16: Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home.
• 37:11
  Speaker 16: Because our tax base has been eroded. So I philosophically
• 37:15
  Speaker 16: don't have a problem. It is like, I have to
• 37:16
  Speaker 16: look at the fact that we are in competition with
• 37:18
  Speaker 16: other states who have less of a tax burden on
• 37:22
  Speaker 16: their corporations and their individuals, and I would say remote
• 37:26
  Speaker 16: work changed everything. There are people who could only work
• 37:29
  Speaker 16: in an office in Manhattan and work in New York State,
• 37:32
  Speaker 16: and they were captives to our state. They were going
• 37:33
  Speaker 16: to state. We've saw that that's not the case. I mean,
• 37:37
  Speaker 16: you know Wall Street businesses looking at Texas. They're not
• 37:41
  Speaker 16: going there because they have a nicer governor. I know
• 37:43
  Speaker 16: that for sure, But they're going there because of the tax. Right,
• 37:46
  Speaker 16: we have to be smart about this.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're not going there for a nicer governor. She's right.
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: You know, this antis not the nicest guy in the world,
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: but he's a brilliant governor. He's an excellent governor. Greg Gabbat,
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: he's a nice guy, but he's a brilliant governor. And
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: these guys got rid of the state tax. They get
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: rid of a lot of that crap, and the state booms,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: The economy booms. Businesses move in, billionaires move in, and
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: you're making a fortune there. So she's admitting she's wrong.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: She's actually admitting she was a total idiot four years
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: ago to say those things. And she's admitting they lost
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of the tax base. So now, Mom, Donnie,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: I think you had to wait about fifty years for
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: him to figure this out. Mom, Donnie doesn't know what
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: the hell is going on. Totally useless and totally naive.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: He's never had a job before. He's basically just a
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: student out of college. This is his first job Mayor
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: of New York and just driving everybody nuts. We have
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: a budget that's double what it should be. It's double
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: the amount it should be. Just cut the budget in
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: half and everything is fine. But he can't cut anything.
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: It's all waste, fraud, blowed favor versus. It's just political
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: payback for people. So he keeps scheming and scheming and
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: scheming more taxes, more, the congestion pricing type of stuff.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: Now they want to put speed cameras everywhere and ticket
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: you every time you go any place. These speed cameras
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: are absolutely ridiculous.
• 39:18
  Speaker 17: It is a goal of our administration to lower the
• 39:21
  Speaker 17: speed limit across the city to twenty miles an hour.
• 39:24
  Speaker 17: That however, is something that can only be done with
• 39:26
  Speaker 17: a local law change to the city administrative Code, and
• 39:30
  Speaker 17: we do support the City council taking those efforts.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Now, the good news is the city council speaker
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Julie Mennon, who is a common sense she's a Democrat,
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: a little left wing, but common sense. And I don't
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: think she'll do it. He's talking about fifteen miles an
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: hour speed limit fifteen. You can't drive fifteen miles an hour.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: It's impossible, it can't be done. So he keeps pushing
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: this stuff. She doesn't get it done, hopefully, Mom, don
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: just hobbles along for the next four years, getting nothing done,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: just talking, which is all he ever did, just talk
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: his crazy wife, you know, mom, Donnie very anti Semitic,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: anti a lot of stuff, but his wife really anti
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Semitic and has a bad, bad history. On Twitter on
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: x people would post stuff about October seventh, the genocide,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the killing of Jews, the raping, the killing the babies,
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: and she'd click like on it multiple times. October seventh stuff,
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: the ugly holocaust of October seven. She's clicking like on
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: all these posts. Horrifying, absolutely horrifying. She's getting a lot
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: of flak. Her name is a Rama Duagie. She's been
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: in hiding. She doesn't come out, but everybody noticed that
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: yesterday she deleted her old Twitter account, her old ex account.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Instead of deleting the bad posts, she deleted the whole
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: account because the whole thing was bad post. It was
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: all bad, really bad, ugly stuff. Hey, that wacko. Joe Kent,
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: he's the guy that was the counterintelligence national. They give
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: him these big titles in the swamp. Joe Kent, National
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Counterintelligence Director of Intelligence counter this counter that who resigned
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: and he said the Iran war is ridiculous, there's no
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: was no threat. Now the real reason he resigned is
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: he's under investigation for leaking classified information. This guy will
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: probably end up in jail. The investigation has been going
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: on for months and it was heating up, and that's
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: one reason he resigned to get all this attention. So
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: he becomes some sort of martyr when they go after
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: him in court. But a he's a real just something
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: really wrong with this guy. First of all, he's been
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: saying for many years that we have to go after Iran.
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: Iran is a threat. Now he's claiming the opposite. He
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: goes on the Tucker Carlson podcast of all places and
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: starts going into this anti Semitic nonsense, crazy wacko conspiracy
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: stuff with Tucker Carlson, perfect place for it, perfect setting
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: for it, and he says, Israel is behind Charlie Kirk's assassination. Yeah,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: somehow Israel he believes was behind Charlie Kirk's assassination. Thinks
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: it's a strong possibility, and again, just anti Semitic nonsense.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: That's Joe Kent.
• 42:26
  Speaker 9: Hey.
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: You know, the Save Act is just simple logic, common sense.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: It would mean enforce the law. The law is you
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: got to be an American citizen to vote in an
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: American election, and you show your ID, your driver's license,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: your photo ID when you go vote. It's done all
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: the time. You know, if you want to buy anything
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: anything anywhere, you got to show photo ID in a
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: drug store to get the prescription medicine, to enter an
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: office building, you got to show photo ID everything everywhere
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: you turn. Everybody has a photo ID. Everybody needs to
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: show it every day of their life somewhere. So Democrats
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: don't want that because if you don't have to show ID,
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: then anybody can vote. They can get illegal aliens to vote,
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: they can get people to vote twice, they can get
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: the non citizens to vote. It can happen. And that's
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: the reason you do the Save Acts. Perfect common sense.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Anybody with any logic of common sense would be for it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: Democrats are opposing it. The only reason you would oppose
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: it if you want to make sure that non citizens
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: can vote. And that's where you get Schumer and all
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: these wackos. But Schumer yesterday's yelling and screaming about it,
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: and he said, well, what about the illegals voting goes, well,
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: almost no non citizens vote, Almost no illegals vote. That's
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: their argument that it happens in small numbers, not enough
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: to affect the election. But everybody pointing out he just
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: admitted it happens. If almost no illegals vote, that means
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: and some illegals are voting, so you got to stop that.
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Then the other Democratic idiot, Warnock, he's talking about Georgia,
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: his state, and he said, well, we only found twenty
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: cases of illegals voting. Well, if you only found twenty,
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: that means it's probably a few hundred. But it shouldn't happen.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: There's no excuse for this kind of stuff. So they're
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: actually admitting. Now their argument is, well it happens just
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: in a small way, but they're admitting it does happen,
• 44:25
  Speaker 2: So you need the save Act. Hey, we're talking about
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Governor of Arkansas, Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She and some whoever
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: she's talking to. They go go to lunch in a
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: restaurant in Little Rock and they have with them a
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: security detailed State police that sort of stuff, and they're
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: sitting at a big table in the restaurant. When this
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: was Friday, March thirteenth, it's called the Croissanterie. Now the
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: Croissanterie is I guess that's supposed to be she in Arkansas.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: It's like Andy Griffiths show type of croissant. But apparently
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: they were there for a while and somebody from the
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: restaurant comes over to the state police guy and tells
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: them to leave. They got to leave, and he's a
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: little shocked. Why would they have to leave, and well,
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: you've been there an hour and fifteen minutes. There's a
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: ninety minute limit. But then he according to the state police,
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I would believe the state police on this. And he says,
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: you're making everybody uncomfortable because of her political views. I
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: would imagine in the croissante the employees are young, stupid,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: and he actually said it out loud to the state police.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: She to she has to leave. She's making everybody uncomfortable
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: because of her political beliefs and her values. Well, obviously
• 45:54
  Speaker 2: it's Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Her political beliefs are fine, her
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: values are excellent. Her father, Mike Huckabee too excellent. Now,
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: the owner of the Cassandre's put out some long statement
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: saying she was asked to encourage the governor to leave
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: she had finished dining. It doesn't make any sense the restaurant, certainly.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to find the statement. We regret being this position.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: We had to make a difficult decision. However, we stand
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: by our choice. Absolutely ridiculous. I would hope this place
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: gets closed down. It's absolutely disgusting. We became aware that
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: the governor had arrived at the restaurant, and we were
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: surprised and uncertain, and I mean absolutely idiotic. First of all,
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: it made them feel uncomfortable, and he also said they
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: felt threatened. They felt threatened by the governor's presidence. She's
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: got like four or five state police sitting there. I
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: can't think of a safer thing for a restaurant. And
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: normally people get excited when a governor comes into us.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: She's the governor. And if you're that uncomfortable and threatened
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: by her presence, leave the state, move out of the state,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: go somewhere else. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next. Eight
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: If you're listening to Mark on the iHeartRadio app, save
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: time and tap the preset button.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simon show on woor.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: Hey. You know the CBS network we would mentioned earlier
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: in the program, there are going to be a lot
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: of layoffs today over at CBS News. You know, they
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: have CBS News and they do the newscast on television,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: but you know there's also the CBS Radio network News.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: And if you used to listen to the old WCBS Radio,
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: you remember at the top of the hour they go
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: to the network CBS Radio News, and top of the
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: hour they would do the news. Well, a lot of
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: stations around the country would carry the CBS Radio News
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: as their news source, and on the top of the
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: hour of the network newscast was just announced. Hard to believe.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: CBS management just put out this statement today. We informed
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: our CBS News Radio team and our approximately seven hundred
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: affiliates that we will end the service on May twenty second,
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty six. No more CBS Radio News, no more
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: CBS News Radio, closing down the whole thing, not just
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: eliminating some jobs, shutting down the whole CBS News Radio service.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: It will not exist. It's been around one hundred years.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: Edward R. Murrow was on CBS News Radio, Walter Cronkite, Lowell,
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Thomas dan Rather, Mike Wallace. It's gone May twenty second.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: What's that like? Two months? You have to do that,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: by the way, because you have seven hundred affiliates, you
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: can't just shut it off Monday. You have to give
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: all your affiliates time to find another network to you.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: But that's interesting. Let's go to Stuart in South Carolina. Stuart,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: how you doing?
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: Hey?
• 49:06
  Speaker 18: Mark? You know I want to mention about these speed
• 49:08
  Speaker 18: cameras and red light cameras. You know, I've been a
• 49:10
  Speaker 18: police officer next year'll be fifty years, and I believe
• 49:13
  Speaker 18: they are completely unconstitutional. And the reason is that when
• 49:17
  Speaker 18: an officer arrests, say for a misdemeanor, which is, you know,
• 49:22
  Speaker 18: running a red light or speeding, he has to witness
• 49:24
  Speaker 18: that that infraction to make an arrest. And the ticket
• 49:28
  Speaker 18: is actually an arrest, but you're being released.
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: On the camera takes a photograph. That's kind of a witness.
• 49:36
  Speaker 6: It does.
• 49:36
  Speaker 13: But the problem is mark that you have to have.
• 49:39
  Speaker 18: An individual, an officer, witness that infraction. And when you
• 49:44
  Speaker 18: have a camera, a camera cannot testify in court to
• 49:48
  Speaker 18: your speed or that you ran a red light. That's
• 49:51
  Speaker 18: why people wear monkey masks and bags over their heads
• 49:54
  Speaker 18: and they change their license plates and put covers over them.
• 49:58
  Speaker 18: I don't believe we have them in the South.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Maybe quicker just to go the speed limited, wait in
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: line of the store to buy a monkey mask, and hey,
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: let me ask you off the record question. It's speed
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: limit to fifty five now, guys going on sixty one
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: miles now would you pull them over for that?
• 50:14
  Speaker 13: Yeah?
• 50:15
  Speaker 18: No, I allowed fifteen miles over and most fifteen officers
• 50:18
  Speaker 18: down here too. Fifteen yeah whoa, oh absolutely yeah, yeah,
• 50:22
  Speaker 18: even on we have Highway one here which is forty
• 50:27
  Speaker 18: five or fifty five. A lot of times we'd allow
• 50:30
  Speaker 18: about sixty nine or seventy.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 50:32
  Speaker 18: Yeah, and then a lot of times if the people
• 50:34
  Speaker 18: are nice, we would break it down to say fifty
• 50:37
  Speaker 18: nine and fifty, which is a two point ticket. As
• 50:40
  Speaker 18: long as you don't have any other tickets, it doesn't
• 50:42
  Speaker 18: make your insurance go up. Yeah, So there are ways
• 50:45
  Speaker 18: of doing things.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: All right, great call as always, Stuart. Let's go to
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: dan Port Jefferson. Dan, how you doing?
• 50:51
  Speaker 7: Mark?
• 50:51
  Speaker 12: Great?
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: You know you're talking about Democrats or left people saying
• 50:57
  Speaker 8: people finding it hard.
• 50:58
  Speaker 7: To get IDs they can't get IDs to Are those
• 51:02
  Speaker 7: people we want electing our officials? We really want them voting.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: If they can't get an ID, everybody can get an idea.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: It's just the democratic racism. They're so racist. They actually
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: say that all minorities, well they would that wouldn't know
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: how to get a photo. It's the most racist thing imaginable.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: Rich and Myrtle Beach, Rich, how you doing?
• 51:21
  Speaker 10: You know?
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: Stuart? There is right because the Myrtle Beach we got
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: this main highway thirty one, which say ship from South
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: Mortle Beach and North Myrtle Beach about twenty five miles
• 51:30
  Speaker 3: and then speed limit there sixty five and people are
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: passing me at seventy five and they let you go
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: to almost eighty, which is about fifteen over. And I
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: wonder if Stuart has the same pine problem, a pine
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: pole and problem we have here because right now it's
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: pine pollen season where everything is covered in a green
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: dust as the pine trees are all starting to release
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: their pollens. So single, what's that?
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: That sounds great?
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's unbelievable. Your eyes are irritated, your alergies come up.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: Everything is covered in a green dust until we get
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: a heavy rain of weave.
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: New York, Stay in New York, Rich, thanks for calling. Oh,
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent, how you doing.
• 52:09
  Speaker 10: I'm doing good. Mark. If I were the owner of that,
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: what'd you say to Chris Anthia? I would immediately call
• 52:16
  Speaker 10: my exterminator, have a new inspection sticker, a certificate dawn
• 52:23
  Speaker 10: of the kitchen and the bathroom in the restaurant, because guaranteed,
• 52:28
  Speaker 10: before this weekends over, somebody from the state Health Department
• 52:33
  Speaker 10: in Arkansas is going to pay a visit to that restaurant,
• 52:37
  Speaker 10: and magically they're gonna find mice and rats feces in
• 52:43
  Speaker 10: the kitchen, in the food prep area, some dead cockroaches,
• 52:48
  Speaker 10: that they're going to close that restaurant down. As you said, Mark,
• 52:54
  Speaker 10: I noticed it Blue cities in Blue states Man Dommy.
• 52:57
  Speaker 10: What he did the other day is a perfect exis.
• 53:00
  Speaker 10: Yesterday you were talking about how he took out the
• 53:04
  Speaker 10: criminal prosecution of any person on a bicycle committing a
• 53:10
  Speaker 10: traffic infraction. Now, if you look at all these e riders,
• 53:15
  Speaker 10: these door dash riders, grub Hub, look at them, most
• 53:18
  Speaker 10: of them are Indians, Pakistani, Southeast Asians. Those are his
• 53:25
  Speaker 10: large part of those people are his voting base, and
• 53:28
  Speaker 10: he's protecting all his homeboys. And in other instances, the
• 53:35
  Speaker 10: city passes laws where you got to hire people who
• 53:40
  Speaker 10: work in his voting block. For example, last year they
• 53:45
  Speaker 10: passed the law that it didn't apply to me, but
• 53:48
  Speaker 10: certain people. If you have a brick or mercenary parapet
• 53:54
  Speaker 10: on your building, you have to have that inspected. I
• 53:58
  Speaker 10: didn't I have a wooden corners.
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so Vincent, we got to.
• 54:02
  Speaker 12: The people who worked those trades, Mark, Yeah, I am
• 54:05
  Speaker 12: a Grants.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
• 54:07
  Speaker 12: Not the Italians in the Irish fifty sixty years ago.
• 54:12
  Speaker 12: So At one end he's pulling liability away from them,
• 54:17
  Speaker 12: and on the other end he's steering business with them.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Vincer, we gotta go. We gotta do the newest Vincent.
• 54:23
  Speaker 2: But thanks for calling. Great call. When we come back,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Charlie Gasparino, he'll be with us next on seven to ten.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: Wor mister New York Marks amount.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: Wr Well, we turned out of the best business reporter
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: in America, Charlie Gasparino. You see him on the Fox
• 54:43
  Speaker 2: Business Network. Read his columns New York Posts. Also, he
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: wrote one of the best books ever. If you haven't
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: read it, get the book Go Woke, Go Broke by
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Charlie Gasprino. Just go to Amazon and order Go Woke,
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Go Broke. It's a great book. Charlie Gasparino. How you doing?
• 55:01
  Speaker 7: Are you doing? Mark? Great to hear from you.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Hey, do we have the craziest governor in the
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: world here? This Kathy Okle tells everybody to leave. Now
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: she's telling her to come back? What is wrong with her?
• 55:11
  Speaker 7: He's an idiot? I mean, you know, I'm sorry I
• 55:15
  Speaker 7: shouldn't say that, but yes' because I've been reading this
• 55:20
  Speaker 7: as much as you have, and you know, I mean
• 55:23
  Speaker 7: if you create this environment where it's very difficult for people,
• 55:28
  Speaker 7: not just really rich people who can leave in a second.
• 55:31
  Speaker 7: By the way, now, if you're really rich, you can
• 55:32
  Speaker 7: literally set up to keep your apartment here in Manhattan,
• 55:36
  Speaker 7: live down there whatever, you know, six months in the
• 55:38
  Speaker 7: day or whatever, do most of your business down there.
• 55:41
  Speaker 7: Fly up occasionally. Oh, it's no problem. And we need
• 55:44
  Speaker 7: those really rich people because they pay all the bills.
• 55:47
  Speaker 7: You're a middle class person, you've got to move all together,
• 55:50
  Speaker 7: and she's making it impossible for both of them to
• 55:52
  Speaker 7: stay here. It's it's just unbelievable. And you know, you know,
• 56:00
  Speaker 7: it's kind of like we're a kind of end stage
• 56:05
  Speaker 7: in my view, liberalism or progressivism here in New York,
• 56:08
  Speaker 7: where it's kind of obvious that the formula doesn't work. Mark.
• 56:13
  Speaker 7: It's like if you tax people, you're pushing on a string.
• 56:18
  Speaker 7: It's there's people are going to go away if you
• 56:21
  Speaker 7: elect If some guy like Mondamie gets in there, sneaks
• 56:24
  Speaker 7: in with fifty percent of the vote and starts talking
• 56:28
  Speaker 7: about you know, Gaza during Saint Patrick's day, more people,
• 56:33
  Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying. I mean, if you if
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: you just literally keep packing essentially extort fifty plus percent
• 56:42
  Speaker 7: of your of someone's wages to taxes. When you get
• 56:46
  Speaker 7: garbage piled up all over the place where the schools
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: aren't good, they're going to leave.
• 56:50
  Speaker 12: And it's just.
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: And that's what they've been doing. And they don't care
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: that they have this impact, it seems, because there's a
• 56:59
  Speaker 7: vicious circle where they kind of all benefit themselves right now,
• 57:02
  Speaker 7: the teachers union, all the special interests, but the taxpayers.
• 57:06
  Speaker 7: This is a free country. You can move, So I
• 57:08
  Speaker 7: think they're screwed. I mean, I I've written a few
• 57:10
  Speaker 7: stories about the New York City budget situation.
• 57:13
  Speaker 12: It is in desperate.
• 57:14
  Speaker 7: It's gonna be in desperate situation because Wall Street does
• 57:16
  Speaker 7: not have to be here anymore. And that's the only
• 57:19
  Speaker 7: thing keeping this thing going is is you know, banker bonuses.
• 57:22
  Speaker 7: And when those banker bonuses leave UH and they will
• 57:26
  Speaker 7: leave increasingly. JP Morgan has more people in Texas than
• 57:29
  Speaker 7: it has in New York City. Really fight the fact
• 57:32
  Speaker 7: they fit, the fact that they have building on UH
• 57:36
  Speaker 7: on Park Avenue. They have more people in Texas right now,
• 57:39
  Speaker 7: and so that will continue. That will mean banker bonuses
• 57:43
  Speaker 7: going into the Texas hop The Texas budget as opposed
• 57:47
  Speaker 7: to ours and every place else. And it's only because
• 57:51
  Speaker 7: these guys killed the it was they killed the Golden Goose.
• 57:55
  Speaker 7: I guess you could say they made an able to
• 57:57
  Speaker 7: live here. And I told you this, and you were
• 57:59
  Speaker 7: like I told you. I said, ready, I'm gonna get out,
• 58:03
  Speaker 7: and you're like, oh, you're not gonna get out. Of
• 58:05
  Speaker 7: course you're gonna get out. You can't deal with this
• 58:08
  Speaker 7: long term. There's there's almost no solution really because the
• 58:12
  Speaker 7: state is run. I mean, I mean, how can you
• 58:15
  Speaker 7: convince It seems like if Bruce Blakeman can't be governor,
• 58:19
  Speaker 7: and I like Bruce a lot. I think he'd be
• 58:20
  Speaker 7: a good He's a modern guy, analytic social. If he
• 58:25
  Speaker 7: can't become governor in this state, then you know, the
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: you know, whoever's left here is too stupid. They're just
• 58:32
  Speaker 7: going to keep voting for this garbage. So you know,
• 58:36
  Speaker 7: why fight? Just leave, that's the best way to fight.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe, But Wall Street it's called Wall Street? Could they
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: actually be somewhere else? Well?
• 58:45
  Speaker 7: Have you ever gone down to Wall Street these days?
• 58:49
  Speaker 7: Down there? I mean, go excide. The New York's stock
• 58:51
  Speaker 7: is shames. Remember that the iconic New York Opening Belt
• 58:56
  Speaker 7: the side for those two photo ops where they kind
• 58:59
  Speaker 7: of get people to they probably bust them into, like
• 59:02
  Speaker 7: to make it look like it'sing's going on down there.
• 59:06
  Speaker 7: There's nothing going on. It's all computers and it's done,
• 59:10
  Speaker 7: and it's just done. It's just I was talking to
• 59:13
  Speaker 7: Dick Rasso, the legendary Yeah, because you try to preserve
• 59:17
  Speaker 7: the human element of it, which in many ways is
• 59:20
  Speaker 7: a good thing because you know, computers break down a
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: lot too. And you know, we're both laughing about how
• 59:25
  Speaker 7: this is, like it's it's nothing and they and they.
• 59:29
  Speaker 7: You know, by the way, technology did that, not liberalism,
• 59:32
  Speaker 7: but liberalism and progressivism, you know, helped helped expedite people
• 59:37
  Speaker 7: from you know, starting up businesses. By the way, if
• 59:41
  Speaker 7: the SOCCA change sort of morphed into something electronic, there's
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: all these buildings down there, office space. You would think
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: if you had a vibrant economy of entrepreneurs, you'd be
• 59:51
  Speaker 7: able to fill those with with people, and you really can't.
• 59:54
  Speaker 7: I mean, there's not a lot of business down there.
• 59:56
  Speaker 7: It's it's a residential neighborhood because we need residential property
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 7: in New York. But they're very high end, and this
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 7: is a very unlivable place mark in so many ways.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 7: And this Hopeles is so stupid. I mean, she's I mean,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 7: you know she should be one way to be up
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: she I mean, it's like you know, Andrew Crmo tried
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 7: to do the same thing. He tried to like thread
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 7: the needle. Okay, I'll pease the liberal base, but I'll
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 7: also you know, you know it won't go so far.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 7: And you know, people in the middle will flock to
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 7: me because because the alternative is so bad. Well, guess what,
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 7: that doesn't happen. The people in the middle often leads
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 7: because they don't because they don't they're sick of your
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 7: You're sort of you're you're you're sort of a little
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 7: less wild and maybe more somewhat more palatable progressivism because
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 7: I don't want to deal with because it's not.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 10: You wrote.
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: You wrote the book co Broke. Everybody should read that,
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: especially Kathy Ho.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 7: I mean, I can't I can't believe she's having it.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: She's like in a it's like she's like high on something, right,
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 7: and she's just ruminating. I mean, think about how you're saying.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: She sounds Yeah, well, I think that's more just a
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: case of having an IQ about ninety six. That's probably
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: what it is.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 7: I don't know, but I mean think about it. I mean,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 7: you're sitting there, you're raising taxes, and then you're begging
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 7: people come back, come back, so I can screw you.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: Charlie Gasparino, straight to horror moose. This is everybody going
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: crazy when you bet the straits of hormos will be
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: open three four weeks from now.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 7: I I you know, I talked to some traders last night. Well,
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 7: you know, commodities traders. There is a trade going on
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 7: that says this entire sort of notion that you know,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 7: oil supply is totally disrupted is boloney, and that we
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 7: do have a lot of oil, that these are often
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 7: these are on fear headlines, and not only that that
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 7: they are exaggerated by the algorithms that control a lot
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 7: of the trading. And so let me ask you this,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 7: is there really a shortage of oil in the United States?
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: No, actually, we don't get we don't use any of
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: that oil from hormones.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 7: Yeah, how about it around the world, is there like
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 7: a people like like doing odd and even days in Germany?
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 7: I remember the odd and even days, like if you
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 7: had an odd number on your license, but you can
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 7: get guests that day even the next day. I'm just
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 7: I'm just wondering, like, where is the supply problem here
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 7: that you know we're getting these freakouts. I mean, are
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 7: you mean to tell me that that if you close
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: the that there's no solution to these straits of Hormuz?
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 7: Come on, I mean, I think it's Listen, I think
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 7: it's going to be solved. I think that war's over. Basically,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 7: you know, the Uranians lie about everything, Oh we'll do this. Well,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 7: they have nothing left but to lie and scare their population.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 7: And you know, at some point there will be a
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 7: tipping in my view, I mean I spoke with Jack Devine.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 7: You know Jack ever gonna be worked at?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 10: Uh?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, it was topsyer guys. Because there's no wain, They're
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 7: going to let the streets and from moves remain closed forever.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 7: It's just never gonna happen. It's just it's gonna end soon.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 7: I would I would be surprised if it's four weeks.
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: Two weeks, two and a half weeks, it'll be open.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 7: But yeah, I mean I think it'll be more. It
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 7: will increasingly be open you know.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Well Charlie Gasprino, always great talking to you, and uh, everybody,
