Hour 2: NYC's financial deficit. · The Mark Simone Show

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

15:49
Speaker 2: think of Bob Dylan? Would a purchase an apartment in
15:52
Speaker 2: New York Trump Tower? Bob Dylan owned an apartment in
15:59
Speaker 2: Trump Tower. I'd like to see him explain that. You know,
16:03
Speaker 2: he dresses like a scarecrow. He walks around all musty
16:05
Speaker 2: and dusty and tries to look like he's a sharecropper.
16:09
Speaker 2: He's got an apartment in Trump Tower. What kind of
16:11
Speaker 2: phony is this? Let's go to Lauren in New Jersey. Lauren,
16:15
Speaker 2: how you doing, hey, Mark?
16:17
Speaker 8: Well, they're all phonies. So yeah, mister pathetic irrelevant. You know,
16:23
Speaker 8: there's the reason why his name is Bruce Springsteen because
16:25
Speaker 8: his initials are bs. And that's, you know basically what
16:28
Speaker 8: it is.
16:28
Speaker 2: Right, You're from New Jersey and I'm supposed to attack Bruce.
16:32
Speaker 4: Oh.
16:32
Speaker 8: I can't stand Bruce never. I could never stand him.
16:35
Speaker 8: You know, all the girls in high school like Bruce,
16:37
Speaker 8: and I'm like, I don't get it.
16:40
Speaker 2: Well, where are you in New Jersey?
16:44
Speaker 8: Morris County?
16:45
Speaker 2: Okay? Did we say that? No land, You know they
16:48
Speaker 2: say that to people We're not from New Jersey. We
16:50
Speaker 2: don't know which county is which. If you said the
16:52
Speaker 2: town I might know.
16:54
Speaker 8: Okay, well I'm west of Morristown.
16:57
Speaker 2: Oh okay, see I know where that is. But they
16:59
Speaker 2: I know where Bergen County is. The other counties, I
17:01
Speaker 2: don't know where they are. It's like when they say
17:03
Speaker 2: the exit number or from somewhere else, we don't know that.
17:07
Speaker 8: Yeah, we'll venture out here. Mark.
17:09
Speaker 2: I go out to New Jersey. I love New Jersey.
17:11
Speaker 2: It's beautiful there. But I don't memorize the exit numbers.
17:13
Speaker 2: Like if I said, Maine exit thirty seven, do you
17:16
Speaker 2: know where that is?
17:19
Speaker 8: No, Mark Glad? Yeah so? But yeah, Mark, So, I
17:23
Speaker 8: can't imagine how many cars were driving off the road.
17:26
Speaker 8: But please, oh my god, like the guy said, our
17:28
Speaker 8: ears are bleeding.
17:28
Speaker 2: So all right, all right, calm down, calm down. We
17:37
Speaker 2: won't play it anymore. Let's go. We got time for
17:39
Speaker 2: one more. Let's go to Robert in Westchester. Robert, how
17:43
Speaker 2: you doing doing well?
17:45
Speaker 5: Markause, thank you for taking my call. Mark. The thing
17:48
Speaker 5: that I understand is, how is it that Ice becomes
17:51
Speaker 5: the bad guy? How is it the president becomes the
17:53
Speaker 5: bad guy? Joscel Hungry Lake and Riley? Why is that?
17:58
Speaker 5: Phil fro Springsteen so about the torture and the hell
18:01
Speaker 5: those women went through and their families, this is absurd.
18:06
Speaker 2: Well, you can get away with this stuff when you
18:08
Speaker 2: got the full cooperation of mainstream media. When they back
18:11
Speaker 2: you up on this, you can say whatever the hell
18:13
Speaker 2: you want. They'll back you up on it.
18:15
Speaker 5: Those people will have to face judgment before God one
18:18
Speaker 5: day because this nation is here for a reason to
18:22
Speaker 5: protect the rest of civilis.
18:23
Speaker 3: No.
18:24
Speaker 2: I know what you're saying, but let's just be honest.
18:26
Speaker 2: Let's be totally honest. If what's the name Renee Good
18:31
Speaker 2: and Alex Pretty, if they had been killed by illegal aliens,
18:36
Speaker 2: you never would have seen it on the news. It
18:38
Speaker 2: would never make the networks. It would never get mentioned
18:40
Speaker 2: on MSNBC, never mentioned. It wouldn't be in the New
18:43
Speaker 2: York Times. You'd never hear about it. Oh, when we
18:46
Speaker 2: come back, Jimmy Fayla will be with us. He's great,
18:48
Speaker 2: very funny, does a great show every night at nine.
18:51
Speaker 2: We'll talk to him next on seven to ten. Wo RR.
18:55
Speaker 2: Simon show continues well, Jimmy Fayla, the great talk show host,
19:02
Speaker 2: a great comedian. He's on every night here on w
19:05
Speaker 2: o R nine to midnight. Excellent show nine to midnight
19:08
Speaker 2: and you also want to watch his late night show.
19:10
Speaker 2: It's the best one in television every Saturday night. There's
19:14
Speaker 2: no better monologue anywhere in television. And even President Trump
19:19
Speaker 2: has come out and said so, he's a huge fan.
19:20
Speaker 2: It's Saturday nights at ten on the Fox News Channel.
19:24
Speaker 2: Jimmy Fayla, How you doing good?
19:27
Speaker 1: Thank you for that Trump plug. You know what dawned
19:30
Speaker 1: on me though, Mark, it's you know, Trump tweeting about
19:33
Speaker 1: your show and saying it's good is a great thing
19:35
Speaker 1: until you realize you're a joke away from him tweeting
19:38
Speaker 1: about your show a second time. But I'll say heale
19:43
Speaker 1: the cab driver Jimmy Saylor.
19:47
Speaker 2: But also it makes you nervous right now. You know
19:49
Speaker 2: he's watching every week. Now you got to think about that.
19:51
Speaker 1: Oh no, I like it in comedy, it's the great
19:54
Speaker 1: it's a great thing. I didn't stand up when he
19:55
Speaker 1: was at the Patriot Awards.
19:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
19:57
Speaker 1: And the magic trick of comedy is you don't read
20:01
Speaker 1: the room. You have to lead the room. Somebody hands
20:03
Speaker 1: you a microphone. You have to be so in charge.
20:05
Speaker 1: It's like, do you want a guys robbing a bank?
20:07
Speaker 1: And he fires a shot into the ceiling to get
20:09
Speaker 1: everybody's attention. That's kind of how you do comedy when
20:13
Speaker 1: you've got like a really powerful audience, because if you
20:17
Speaker 1: don't have the whole bank's attention, you ain't getting out
20:19
Speaker 1: of there with the money man. Yeah, that's that work.
20:22
Speaker 2: Explain that again. So you don't read the room, don't
20:23
Speaker 2: worry about what the lead through them. How do you
20:26
Speaker 2: lead the room? Yes, comedy, that.
20:28
Speaker 1: Is the thing you Yes, when you are a comic, Okay,
20:32
Speaker 1: you control the conversation, the tone, the tenor the entire
20:36
Speaker 1: vibe in the room because you're the only guy with
20:38
Speaker 1: a microphone. Like the room is silent and they're listening
20:41
Speaker 1: to what you have to say. So you lead the room.
20:44
Speaker 1: What I mean by that is get the room to
20:46
Speaker 1: the energy you want it to be and for your
20:48
Speaker 1: jokes to work. Make sure they know you're bargaining with
20:50
Speaker 1: them in good faith. You know, you want to be pleasant,
20:53
Speaker 1: you want to be upbeat. But the thing is, every
20:55
Speaker 1: joke needs to come with perspective, because that's what makes
20:58
Speaker 1: it okay. When get in trouble, it's because they look
21:02
Speaker 1: malicious or they don't you know, they look like they're
21:06
Speaker 1: saying something for purposes other than laughter. You know, that's
21:10
Speaker 1: the biggest knocking, like a Kimmel or a Colbert is
21:12
Speaker 1: they're doing. They're making editorial statements, and that's why it's
21:16
Speaker 1: not working. Okay, you don't come to the comedy show
21:20
Speaker 1: to get a condescending lecture from that liberal and who
21:23
Speaker 1: ruins Thanksgiving? But that's what Colbert is every night.
21:26
Speaker 7: Even last night with the Ice stuff.
21:28
Speaker 1: It's you know, so is my job as a comic
21:30
Speaker 1: is to lead them to this like feel good place
21:32
Speaker 1: where they don't have to agree with me to laugh
21:34
Speaker 1: because I'm not saying anything other than this is what happened.
21:39
Speaker 1: This is why it's funny. That's it.
21:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know you watch Don Nicholson once in a
21:43
Speaker 2: while aligned with bomb or get no laugh. He couldn't
21:45
Speaker 2: care less. He would just crank it up ten more
21:47
Speaker 2: notches and keep going. And so that's a good way
21:50
Speaker 2: to lead the room. Hey, speaking of Colbert, so last
21:52
Speaker 2: night he makes this awful joke about how the Nazis
21:55
Speaker 2: are better than Ice. What the hell is he thinking.
22:00
Speaker 7: Up?
22:01
Speaker 1: But that's the point when he's editorializing about Ice, and
22:04
Speaker 1: that's exactly why his show's getting deported on the First.
22:08
Speaker 7: The CPS has thrown it out.
22:10
Speaker 1: Of here because he's again he's what he's doing in
22:15
Speaker 1: his room. Okay, is he's obviously catering to a very
22:19
Speaker 1: one dimensional mindset. Okay.
22:22
Speaker 7: We all have liberal friends, good liberal.
22:23
Speaker 1: Friends, okay, who like to run on like a moral superiority.
22:27
Speaker 1: They're good people, they're your.
22:28
Speaker 7: Friends, you like them. I'm not disparaging them.
22:30
Speaker 6: But he caters to a.
22:31
Speaker 1: Crowd of people that want to believe they're better than
22:33
Speaker 1: everybody else. So if you say, like, oh, Ice is
22:36
Speaker 1: worse than the Nazis and the white supremacists who vote
22:39
Speaker 1: for Trump, that allows his audience to go, eh, at
22:42
Speaker 1: least I'm not those people. You know, I know better,
22:45
Speaker 1: but they don't know better. Who is I supporting? Okay,
22:48
Speaker 1: they're going to after sex offenders, you know, they're not
22:51
Speaker 1: trying to exterminate a race of people. Come on, man, embarrassing.
22:55
Speaker 2: So if you watch Fox News at night, Jesse Waters
22:58
Speaker 2: is clowning around and Hannity a lot of information and serious,
23:01
Speaker 2: but they're clowning around, they're having fun. Then gutt filed
23:04
Speaker 2: you watch MSNBC, this guy's angry as hell. Then Rachel
23:07
Speaker 2: Maddow comes up, she's even madder than Lawrence o'dnald comes out,
23:10
Speaker 2: he's twice as angry. Who watches this kind of stuff?
23:12
Speaker 2: Why would you want to get so riled up at night?
23:15
Speaker 1: I know, because it really, like MSNBC is just group
23:19
Speaker 1: therapy with hair and makeup. It's like imagine you were
23:22
Speaker 1: imagine you were going to a support group, but everybody
23:25
Speaker 1: there got their face powdered beforehand. That's essentially what it is,
23:29
Speaker 1: and that and that's who's watching it, like for real,
23:32
Speaker 1: Like the demographic of an MSNBC viewer is usually a
23:36
Speaker 1: white liberal, like Lawrence o'donald's age, you know, fifty sixty
23:40
Speaker 1: plus that you know. Just see he was saying the
23:43
Speaker 1: other day, he Lawrence o'dnald was the one who said
23:45
Speaker 1: that New York City plowing the streets was socialism. And
23:48
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, the Department of Sanitation plowed the streets.
23:52
Speaker 1: They did a phenomenal job. I dare you to go
23:55
Speaker 1: walk into one of their garages and tell the guy
23:57
Speaker 1: with the neck tattoo he's a socialist. It's not gonna
24:00
Speaker 1: end good for you, Laurence o'donald. But that's the point.
24:03
Speaker 1: It's the confirmation bias. People are watching for confirmation bias,
24:08
Speaker 1: and that's not comedy. If if you're telling them just
24:11
Speaker 1: what they want to hear, you're not being a comedian.
24:13
Speaker 1: You're supposed to tell him jokes.
24:15
Speaker 2: Ye, So explain Don Lemon to me. The guy doesn't
24:18
Speaker 2: even have a job. He's out of work and he's
24:20
Speaker 2: going to Minnesota. He's busting in the churches. What's he
24:23
Speaker 2: doing this for?
24:26
Speaker 1: It's the thing? So Don Lemon is obviously playing. It's
24:28
Speaker 1: called the rage bait game. You know, you post provocative
24:32
Speaker 1: things that'll get people mad and they'll click on your
24:35
Speaker 1: video and be like, oh, show you, and you know,
24:38
Speaker 1: you make money and you get attention. But what he's
24:40
Speaker 1: essentially doing is just projecting all of his anger on
24:44
Speaker 1: to the rest of.
24:44
Speaker 7: The country because he's mad because no network will.
24:46
Speaker 1: Hire him because he was a pain in the ass man. Like,
24:49
Speaker 1: I met him a few times. Did you ever meet
24:50
Speaker 1: him at any of these media mixers we go to.
24:52
Speaker 2: No, but I met him, you know, socially, he's very
24:55
Speaker 2: nice and he's a polite and he smiles. But I
24:57
Speaker 2: never had to work with the guy.
24:59
Speaker 5: No.
25:00
Speaker 1: What happened was he got to this place where his
25:03
Speaker 1: only job was to go on TV and tell.
25:05
Speaker 7: You it was racist, and for a while there that was.
25:08
Speaker 1: Like a fashionable thing. But it was so lazy and
25:12
Speaker 1: reductive and devoid of any real context that it made
25:16
Speaker 1: him worse at his job. Like, he was better at
25:18
Speaker 1: his job in twenty twelve than he was two years
25:20
Speaker 1: ago or even right now, but he got more fame
25:23
Speaker 1: the worse he got at his job. Meaning that's racist,
25:25
Speaker 1: that's crazy, that's racist. In the grievance era of like
25:28
Speaker 1: the outrage Bob, that made him a bigger deal, you know,
25:31
Speaker 1: because he had more oppression points than the other woke liberals.
25:34
Speaker 1: You know, he was black, he was gay, so in
25:37
Speaker 1: the in the liberal hierarchy of grievance, like you had
25:39
Speaker 1: to deify him, and he got away with that until
25:43
Speaker 1: he did it, you know. And the fact that they
25:44
Speaker 1: didn't want to work with him anymore is something that
25:47
Speaker 1: we're getting the bill for now because he's just trying
25:49
Speaker 1: to upset everybody on social media. He's he's just basically
25:54
Speaker 1: Joy Reid with a wig on. You know, I don't
25:56
Speaker 1: know what to tell you.
25:58
Speaker 2: Hey, oh Mar, you know that guy came up and
26:01
Speaker 2: sprayed something all over It looked very dangerous. But I'm
26:03
Speaker 2: watching the whole video. You know, it's fascinating. When the
26:05
Speaker 2: guy does it and he looks like a raging maniac.
26:08
Speaker 2: She actually charges the guy. She you're pretty brave. She
26:11
Speaker 2: runs at the guy. You have a credit for that.
26:16
Speaker 1: Yeah, man, I mean, you know, I don't know. They
26:19
Speaker 1: said it was apple cider vinegar, and I get that's
26:21
Speaker 1: what it was. I knew it wasn't wine because her
26:24
Speaker 1: vineyard was fake. Yeah, she's a beast. She might get
26:28
Speaker 1: pop for that. Yeah, But the point is, like, you know,
26:31
Speaker 1: obviously that's another sign that everybody needs to chill out. Okay.
26:36
Speaker 1: Half of my feet.
26:37
Speaker 2: Is like, oh, it was fake.
26:38
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, we're not going to do that.
26:40
Speaker 1: Because I have liberal friends who still think Trump faked
26:42
Speaker 1: getting shot. I'm like, well he faked it so well
26:44
Speaker 1: he got a guy killed. I mean, come on, man,
26:46
Speaker 1: it's crazy.
26:47
Speaker 2: Wow.
26:47
Speaker 1: So I'm trying to take the edge off Mark Simon,
26:50

28:37
Speaker 2: being with us.
28:39
Speaker 1: Get a man mark, alright.
28:40
Speaker 2: Take care. Yeah, he's a great show every night at
28:43
Speaker 2: nine right here on seven to ten Wor.
28:48
Speaker 1: Mister New York Marximone den Wor.
28:53
Speaker 2: Well, Hey, yeah, getting back to mom Donnie talking about
28:57
Speaker 2: the budget gap. We got this budget gap coming up
29:00
Speaker 2: twelve billion. How do you make it up? Well, normally,
29:03
Speaker 2: any common sense leader management CEO type would just cut costs.
29:08
Speaker 2: You'd slash the budget. If we got a twelve there's
29:12
Speaker 2: nothing but waste, fraud and bloating that budget. You just
29:14
Speaker 2: cut it down easy. But if you're a crazy left
29:17
Speaker 2: wing Democrat, all you can think is raise taxes. Now
29:21
Speaker 2: you might say, well, Mom Donnie can't raise taxes. That's
29:24
Speaker 2: up to the state. And Kathy Hoche is running for
29:27
Speaker 2: reelection this year. She's not going to raise taxes in
29:30
Speaker 2: an election year. But but Mom Donnie has made clear
29:35
Speaker 2: to her he's still got his army, you know, these
29:38
Speaker 2: people that got him elected, these army of organizers, this
29:41
Speaker 2: army of people online, and they could go after her
29:46
Speaker 2: in an election year. So that gives him some power
29:49
Speaker 2: over her, some leverage. She does not want the Mom
29:51
Speaker 2: Donnie crowd, especially the Mom Donnie strategists, organizers, everything working
29:56
Speaker 2: against her, so he can push sure into certain things.
30:01
Speaker 2: So that's the bad news. And as I said, before.
30:04
Speaker 2: The good news is city council is very powerful, as
30:07
Speaker 2: powerful as a mayor in some ways. And you've got
30:10
Speaker 2: a new city council speaker who, although a Democrat, she's
30:14
Speaker 2: a very moderate, common sense Democrat. She's the first Jewish
30:17
