Hour 1: Is socialism good for the economy? · The Mark Simone Show

0:00
Speaker 1: Fly from Midtown Manhattan. Here comes the Mark Simone Show
0:05
Speaker 1: on seven.
0:06
Speaker 2: Woo Hey, what's today? Thursday? Seems like the week's Oh,
0:16
Speaker 2: it's been a hell of a week, a lot of
0:18
Speaker 2: this stressful, draining week because of everything going on. But hey,
0:23
Speaker 2: we'll get to mom Donnie. We'll also give you the
0:25
Speaker 2: whole story of how he did this. It's an interesting
0:28
Speaker 2: behind the scenes story of how he went from zero
0:32
Speaker 2: to forty one percent to fifty percent and to win
0:35
Speaker 2: the election with a majority. By the way, with a
0:38
Speaker 2: majority of the votes. Now, only let me see forty
0:43
Speaker 2: five percent of New York voted registered voters, which is
0:47
Speaker 2: actually less than actual population. Out of all the registered
0:51
Speaker 2: voters in New York, only forty five percent voted. That
0:56
Speaker 2: was it. But we'll get to the campaign, how it worked.
0:58
Speaker 2: We'll get to the transition. We'll get to Nancy Pelosi,
1:01
Speaker 2: she's leaving. We'll get to the shutdown. We'll get to Oh, MSNBC.
1:07
Speaker 2: The final week is next week of MSNBC. Then it
1:10
Speaker 2: switches to this new thing. But we'll explain all of
1:13
Speaker 2: that coming up. Mam Donnie has picked his transition team. Now,
1:19
Speaker 2: as we've been telling you, it's a lot of the
1:22
Speaker 2: Deblasio people. The Deblasio staff came in and helped the
1:26
Speaker 2: Mam Donnie campaign, and there'll be a big party administration.
1:30
Speaker 2: So if you're wondering how bad it's going to be,
1:33
Speaker 2: it will be very, very Deblasio like, because a lot
1:37
Speaker 2: of his people will be involved in this. He's picked
1:40
Speaker 2: the transition team. Elena Leopold, who was with Mayor Deblasio.
1:45
Speaker 2: She was his team's executive director, Melanie Hartzog who's a
1:52
Speaker 2: former deputy mayor under Deblasio. Lena Kahn, who's former Federal
1:57
Speaker 2: Trade Commission share, Maria Torres Springer who was first deputy
2:02
Speaker 2: mayor to Eric Adams. So it's a lot of the
2:05
Speaker 2: same people from de Blasio and the couple from Adams.
2:09
Speaker 2: But people still think it'll be a little worse than Deblasio,
2:13
Speaker 2: only because Mom Donnie seems even crazier than Deblasio. The billionaires,
2:20
Speaker 2: all of those big, big, big donors who always get
2:23
Speaker 2: everything wrong in every election, always backed the wrong candidates,
2:26
Speaker 2: always do everything wrong. You know, they were busy pushing Cuomo.
2:30
Speaker 2: Cuomo had wooed them and won them over, and they
2:32
Speaker 2: were all behind Cuomo who never had a chance. These
2:35
Speaker 2: billionaires are now all over Mom Donnie trying to make
2:38
Speaker 2: peace with him. Bill Ackman tweeting out, well, you know,
2:42
Speaker 2: let me help anything I can do. I'm here for you,
2:44
Speaker 2: you know, to Mom Donnie, he was one of the
2:48
Speaker 2: biggest guys pushing Quota, one of the guys trying the
2:51
Speaker 2: hardest to get Curtis out of the race. I want
2:54
Speaker 2: to do everything I can to help you, says Ackman.
2:57
Speaker 2: Now basically see what happens to Cuoma again. The big,
3:02
Speaker 2: big donors who made fortunes in their own industry but
3:05
Speaker 2: are absolute dopes when it comes to politics and always
3:09
Speaker 2: get it wrong. We're all over Cuomo. I think they're
3:11
Speaker 2: starting to see that Cuomo was just had no shot
3:14
Speaker 2: at all. Besides the fact that he left office in
3:17
Speaker 2: disgrace with a tremendous amount of baggage. He was totally
3:21
Speaker 2: out of shape politically. He saw it in the first
3:24
Speaker 2: two months of the campaign. He was just awful, completely
3:27
Speaker 2: out of shape politically, just didn't know what to do.
3:31
Speaker 2: So a lot of people turning on Cuomo. Now, even
3:33
Speaker 2: on the view they were beating up Andrew Cuomo, the
3:36
Speaker 2: view that kept pushing him, slobbering all over him. Adoring
3:40
Speaker 2: him the view. Joy Behar said, well, besides saying bad
3:48
Speaker 2: things about Cuomo, she said, the Trump endorsement was the
3:53
Speaker 2: kiss of death, absolute kiss of death. Anna Navarro argues said, no, no,
4:01
Speaker 2: it's Cuomo himself. Andrew Cuomo is the kiss of death.
4:07
Speaker 2: You gotta love these democrats the way they just knee jerk,
4:09
Speaker 2: flip flop on everything they were. They loved Cuomo. Now
4:12
Speaker 2: he's the kiss of death. Andrew Cuomo, she says. Andrew
4:16
Speaker 2: Cuomo was running an old nineteen seventies, an old tired campaign.
4:20
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie was in the twenty first century doing modern
4:23
Speaker 2: day stuff. He hit the pavement, he caught lightning in
4:26
Speaker 2: a bottle. He captured the imagination of people. Now even
4:32
Speaker 2: President Trump get now. He was pushing Cuomo as hard
4:35
Speaker 2: as he could. He was behind the scenes, trying to
4:38
Speaker 2: get Curtis out, behind the scenes. He was really really
4:42
Speaker 2: pushing Cuomo. Now he's turned on him completely. He never
4:45
Speaker 2: liked him anyway. But the one thing that drives Cuomo
4:48
Speaker 2: nuts is if you call him a thug. And I
4:50
Speaker 2: don't blame him, who wants to be called that, But
4:53
Speaker 2: that's the one that hits a nerve with him. If
4:54
Speaker 2: you ever call him a thug. He's actually said that
4:57
Speaker 2: the people you know, and he's if you if you
5:00
Speaker 2: go after him, he'll yell and scream at you. But
5:02
Speaker 2: the one thing I say, don't call me a thug.
5:04
Speaker 2: I understand it. I understand he doesn't that want to
5:06
Speaker 2: be called a thug. It's the one word that really
5:10
Speaker 2: gets him. So yesterday President Trump speaking to a group
5:14
Speaker 2: of men and women of Congress Republicans from Congress at
5:18
Speaker 2: a breakfast. Then he got up and spoke about the election,
5:21
Speaker 2: and he called Cuomo a thug. Now, I don't think
5:25
Speaker 2: that's a coincidence. I think I think Trump knew from
5:29
Speaker 2: different various sources that that's the word Cuomo hates the most.
5:33
Speaker 2: So three times he called him a thug. And then
5:36
Speaker 2: at one point he said the whole thing was screwed up.
5:39
Speaker 2: He asked the voters to choose between a communist or
5:42
Speaker 2: a thug. So Trump now totally totally turned off on Cuomo. Now,
5:52
Speaker 2: what's going to happen as far as Trump and Mom Donnie, Well,
5:56
Speaker 2: you know, Mom Donnie, in that angry victory speech, you
6:00
Speaker 2: know he's supposed to make a happy, wonderful victory speech.
6:03
Speaker 2: But Mom, Donnie, it was just awful. It was really angry.
6:08
Speaker 2: President Trump talked about it.
6:09
Speaker 3: It was a very angry speech, certainly angry toward me,
6:13
Speaker 3: and I think he should be very nice to me.
6:14
Speaker 3: You know, I'm the one that sort of has to
6:15
Speaker 3: approve a lot of things coming to him. So he's
6:18
Speaker 3: off to a bad start.
6:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's supposed to be able to work with the government.
6:21
Speaker 3: I'm so torn because I would like to see the
6:23
Speaker 3: new mayor do well because I love New York. I
6:26
Speaker 3: really love New York. When I left New York for Washington,
6:30
Speaker 3: New York was doing really well, but there were some
6:32
Speaker 3: bad signs. The bad sign was a guy named the Blasio.
6:36
Speaker 3: So the signs of the Blasio. That was the beginning,
6:39
Speaker 3: and it was bad. This one. We're gonna look for
6:43
Speaker 3: a thousand years, communism has not worked to just communism
6:47
Speaker 3: or the concept of communism has not worked. I tend
6:51
Speaker 3: to doubt it's going to work this time.
6:53
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a very angry speech. I mean, especially
6:57
Speaker 2: going after Trump.
6:58
Speaker 4: So hear me, President Trump, when I say this, to
7:03
Speaker 4: get to any.
7:03
Speaker 5: Of us, you will have to get through all of.
7:06
Speaker 2: Us, whatever that means. But he was the smiling salesman,
7:11
Speaker 2: sort of a guy, and then he was this angry
7:13
Speaker 2: protester at the speech. Total Jekyl and Hyde on his part.
7:19
Speaker 2: Now he has said, and he said it yesterday, he
7:22
Speaker 2: will keep Jessica Tish as police commissioner. That would make
7:25
Speaker 2: people happy. A lot of people think she's doing a
7:27
Speaker 2: great job. But he was disagreeing with You know, the
7:32
Speaker 2: crime wave. You can pretty much see where it was
7:34
Speaker 2: caused Andrew Cuomo. You got to give him a lot
7:37
Speaker 2: of credit for causing the crime wave when he pushed
7:40
Speaker 2: that no bail, no jail, that cashless bail. Cromo is
7:44
Speaker 2: the one that pushed it. He went out and campaigned
7:47
Speaker 2: for it, made speeches for it, signed it into law.
7:50
Speaker 2: And then you add that the no bail, no jail
7:52
Speaker 2: with Cuomo closing the prisons, letting the prisoners out. Then
7:55
Speaker 2: you get Alvin Bragg who won't put it but he
7:57
Speaker 2: in jail. There's your crime wave. That's it. Mom. Donnie
8:00
Speaker 2: for some reason has been trying to blame it on
8:02
Speaker 2: the pandemic. Why would the pandemic cause a crime wave?
8:08
Speaker 2: I don't know. He keeps trying to Jessica Tish, did
8:11
Speaker 2: police commission keeps explaining to him, it's this cashless bail.
8:14
Speaker 2: Police officials will tell you it's the same twenty five
8:17
Speaker 2: hundred criminals. They know who they are. They could round
8:20
Speaker 2: him up in a couple of weeks. It's the same
8:22
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred committing all the crimes, nothing to do
8:24
Speaker 2: with the pandemic. But Mom Donnie won't doesn't believe it.
8:27
Speaker 5: This is a decision to build on what she has
8:31
Speaker 5: done in entering Eric Adams's NYPD where he stacked the
8:36
Speaker 5: upper echelons with corruption.
8:38
Speaker 2: That's a different cut, wrong cut, wrong cut. But she
8:43
Speaker 2: argues with the Mom Donnie, it was caused by the
8:46
Speaker 2: no bail.
8:47
Speaker 6: No jail.
8:47
Speaker 7: In my opinion, crime went up as a result of
8:50
Speaker 7: the drastic changes we made in our criminal justice laws
8:54
Speaker 7: in New York State, not as a result of the pandemic.
8:58
Speaker 2: But he disagrees.
9:00
Speaker 4: Different opinion.
9:00
Speaker 2: Uh huh.
9:02
Speaker 4: My opinion is one that looks at the spike in
9:06
Speaker 4: crime across the country over the course of the pandemic
9:11
Speaker 4: and sees similar spikes.
9:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, now this other this was Uh, she got to
9:17
Speaker 2: decide whether to keep Jessica Tay. She's saying it publicly
9:19
Speaker 2: because it's maybe because it sounds good, or maybe he
9:22
Speaker 2: really would. Now that, we don't know that she would
9:24
Speaker 2: stay and work for him. Uh, you know a lot
9:26
Speaker 2: of people don't want to work from the fire commissioners.
9:28
Speaker 2: A great guy, Robert Tucker, he just quit. He just
9:31
Speaker 2: announced he's leaving. So we don't know that she'll want
9:34
Speaker 2: to work with him.
9:37
Speaker 8: Now.
9:37
Speaker 2: One thing he likes about her. When she took office,
9:39
Speaker 2: there were a lot of corrupt not a lot, but
9:42
Speaker 2: there was some corruption in the top level of the NYPD,
9:46
Speaker 2: some very bad corrupt people there. She had and it's
9:49
Speaker 2: tough to come in and fire all these people, very
9:51
Speaker 2: high ranking people, but she cleaned house from the got
9:54
Speaker 2: rid of these corrupt people, about twenty of them or something.
9:57
Speaker 2: So he was happy about that.
9:59
Speaker 5: This is a decision to build on what she has
10:03
Speaker 5: done in entering Eric Adams's NYPD, where he stacked the
10:08
Speaker 5: upper echelons with corruption and incompetence. She started to root
10:12
Speaker 5: that out and also reduce crime, and also to create
10:18
Speaker 5: the Department of Community Safety, and also to disband the
10:21
Speaker 5: Strategic Response Group, and also to actually follow through on
10:25
Speaker 5: the exact agenda that we've been running on.
10:27
Speaker 2: Yeah, now his agenda again, that's why. I don't know
10:30
Speaker 2: if she'll stay. He's got these crazy ideas, things like
10:32
Speaker 2: the strategic response group that's for a mass shooter suddenly
10:36
Speaker 2: on the scene. He needs stuff like that, and he
10:38
Speaker 2: wants to you know, all this stuff about send social
10:41
Speaker 2: workers on domestic violence calls. It's absolutely ridiculous and the
10:46
Speaker 2: NYPD has tried it a dozen times over the last
10:48
Speaker 2: forty years and it never, ever, ever, ever works. So anyway,
10:53
Speaker 2: we'll get back to the mirural race. We'll get to Hey,
10:54
Speaker 2: we'll walk you through. I'll explain to you step by
10:56
Speaker 2: step how he got to be mayor, how he went
10:58
Speaker 2: from zero to having fifty percent of the vote. It's
11:01
Speaker 2: an interesting story. We'll get to that. You should see
11:04
Speaker 2: the people that are just gushing over Mom Donnie. And
11:07
Speaker 2: you think that the Democrats that well, we got no choice,
11:11
Speaker 2: we got to vote Democratic, will vote for him now.
11:13
Speaker 2: They love this guy, love this guy. There was Cynthia
11:16
Speaker 2: Nixon Sex and the City Star. There she was at
11:19
Speaker 2: the Mam Donnie victory speech, gushing all over him. Mandy Patinkin,
11:24
Speaker 2: go look at the video. It's up on my Twitter.
11:26
Speaker 2: Mandy Patinkin makes a video with Mam Donnie just drooling
11:30
Speaker 2: all over him. How grad he is Keith McNally. Now,
11:33
Speaker 2: this is a great restaurant tour Baltasar Pastise, Minetta Tavern
11:40
Speaker 2: and saw some of the top finest, most expensive restaurants
11:43
Speaker 2: in New York, he says McNally. McNally says, Mandannie is great.
11:48
Speaker 2: He's exactly what we need. He's just the person we need.
11:52
Speaker 2: This is going to be great. It's the dawning of
11:54
Speaker 2: a wonderful new era. A guy who runs expensive elitist
11:59
Speaker 2: restaurants on its a socialist. I don't know. You figure
12:03
Speaker 2: it out. I can't, but it's absolutely insane. Don't panic though,
12:10
Speaker 2: don't panic again. It could be a lot like the
12:12
Speaker 2: Deblasio administration. That was eight years of that. We got
12:16
Speaker 2: through that, just fine. We got through the pandemic. We'll
12:18
Speaker 2: get through this. Hey. Next week is the very final
12:23
Speaker 2: week of MSNBC. It will not exist after next Friday,
12:28
Speaker 2: a week from tomorrow. That's it for MSNBC. It will
12:32
Speaker 2: continue as something else. They're calling it ms now. Yesterday
12:37
Speaker 2: they gave a little tour of their new studios. Not
12:40
Speaker 2: only has NBC spun the company off and gotten rid
12:44
Speaker 2: of it, they've ordered them to get the NBC name
12:47
Speaker 2: and the logo out of their name. They've also evicted
12:50
Speaker 2: them from Rockefeller Center. They've been thrown out of the building.
12:54
Speaker 2: They're going to what they say it's temporary headquarters. It's
12:57
Speaker 2: kind of steps down from where they are in Rockefeller Center.
13:03
Speaker 2: The MSNBC studios Rockefeller Center are enormous, big, beautiful, lavish studios,
13:11
Speaker 2: beautiful green rooms. They're moving to forty third Street Times Square.
13:16
Speaker 2: It used to be the old New York Times building.
13:18
Speaker 2: It's kind of an old, old, old Times Square building.
13:21
Speaker 2: They'll be in there. They unveiled the new facilities. It's
13:23
Speaker 2: small studios, not like that big you know, that MSNBC
13:27
Speaker 2: studio when they would do that wide shot, how big
13:29
Speaker 2: it was. Well, it's a small studio. I actually have
13:32
Speaker 2: three studios, but they're three small, small studios. They say
13:37
Speaker 2: it's going to be more efficient. It's going to be cheaper,
13:39
Speaker 2: is what it means. Cheaper. It's going to be much cheaper.
13:42
Speaker 2: So next Friday is the last day, Friday, the fifteenth,
13:47
Speaker 2: and then I guess on Saturday it'll start. You'll see
13:49
Speaker 2: and it'll be in this small little studio. It'll be
13:51
Speaker 2: called ms NOW. And everything has been cut from You know,
13:55
Speaker 2: they have a resources of NBC News with correspondence and
14:00
Speaker 2: all over the world that can turn to the vast
14:03
Speaker 2: resources of NBC News. They'll be losing that too, So
14:06
Speaker 2: I don't know what they'll do. You can make a
14:08
Speaker 2: deal with these networks to use their you can be
14:11
Speaker 2: an affiliate of theirs. So they may try doing that,
14:14
Speaker 2: but it's going to be a whole different place. MS now,
14:18
Speaker 2: it'll start a week from from Saturday. Hey, other good news,
14:23
Speaker 2: Nancy Pelosi retires. She's now one hundred and thirty seven
14:27
Speaker 2: years old, and said, yeah, it's time. Actually we see
14:31
Speaker 2: eighty five. She's eighty five years old. She retires a
14:34
Speaker 2: very very very very powerful figure in the Democratic Party
14:38
Speaker 2: in Washington, d C. So it's a big thing that
14:40
Speaker 2: she's leaving. Also, give her credit. She was the greatest
14:45
Speaker 2: stock trader insiding and when it comes to insider trading,
14:48
Speaker 2: she was the Warren Buffett of insider trading. A lot
14:51
Speaker 2: of these people you're allowed to do it. It's legal
14:54
Speaker 2: in Congress. You're allowed to engage in insider trading. And
14:58
Speaker 2: if you're in Congress, you get all kinds of information
15:00
Speaker 2: ahead of the public about you know, FDA approval or
15:05
Speaker 2: test results or somebody's going to get a contract. You
15:08
Speaker 2: really have inside information way ahead of the public, and
15:11
Speaker 2: it's legal. I don't know why they haven't changed this law.
15:13
Speaker 2: Well we do because Congress would have to change it.
15:15
Speaker 2: You're allowed to engage in insider trading, and that's how
15:18
Speaker 2: somebody like Mikey Cheryl doesn't know what the hell she's doing,
15:22
Speaker 2: suddenly makes seven million in a stock trade. But give
15:25
Speaker 2: Pelosi credit, She's the Warren Buffett of insider trading, probably
15:29
Speaker 2: set the all time record, got herself up to I
15:31
Speaker 2: think eight hundred million with the insider trading, hundreds and
15:36
Speaker 2: hundreds and hundreds of millions. Anyway, we'll get back to
15:38
Speaker 2: Mom Donnie. We've got a lot to talk about. We'll
15:41
Speaker 2: get to that coming up, and we'll take some calls. Next.
15:43
Speaker 2: Eight hundred three to two one zero seven ten is
15:47
Speaker 2: the number. Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten.

Speaker 1: Get instant access to Mark by setting a freeset in
15:56
Speaker 1: the iHeartRadio app for his live show and his podcast.
16:00
Speaker 1: Now back to the Mark Simone Show on wo or.
16:05
Speaker 2: Hey, let's take some calls. Let's go to Steve at Manhattan.
16:08
Speaker 2: Steve how you doing all right?
16:11
Speaker 6: And you know everybody's surprised about this election. You bring
16:15
Speaker 6: in a million Third world Is and they vote for
16:17
Speaker 6: a third World of for Maya, and you're surprised by this.
16:21
Speaker 2: All right, Steve, thanks for Colin. Let's go to Dave
16:23
Speaker 2: in New Jersey. Dave, how you doing?
16:26
Speaker 9: Hey?
16:26
Speaker 10: With everything that's going on, I'm just a little bit
16:29
Speaker 10: better than perfect hey with this thing with Mikey Cheryl.
16:33
Speaker 10: She says she's gonna freeze the price on the electric
16:36
Speaker 10: bills in New Jersey. Does that mean they can't go
16:40
Speaker 10: down as well?
16:42
Speaker 2: Well, that's probably that's a good point. That's probably what
16:44
Speaker 2: she meant. Yeah, because you got President Trump in office
16:48
Speaker 2: who's going to increase drilling and natural gas. You know,
16:51
Speaker 2: his all of the above approaches. Everything you got that
16:55
Speaker 2: does bring prices down. And there's more and more and
16:58
Speaker 2: more and more drilling, which brings oil prices down. So
17:01
Speaker 2: you're right, that's probably why she wants to freeze it.
17:03
Speaker 2: Let's go to Bill in Pennsylvania. Bill, how you doing?
17:07
Speaker 6: Oh?
17:07
Speaker 9: I'm tickety boo, but I want to say something. I
17:11
Speaker 9: agree with you that Leticia James has probably the it
17:15
Speaker 9: of salary. But I mean she almost shook down the
17:19
Speaker 9: two party system by bankrupting the love of good candidate?
17:23
Speaker 9: Is there any consequence.
17:24
Speaker 10: Of this ever gonna happen of what happening?
17:29
Speaker 9: I mean, is she going to face any sort of Oh.
17:31
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, she's been indicted. She's been indicted on charges
17:33
Speaker 2: of mortgage fraud. She's about to go to trial. She's
17:36
Speaker 2: in fact hired Abby Lowell, who is the top Washington
17:42
Speaker 2: d C attorney. That's the guy to go to. So
17:44
Speaker 2: she's taking this very seriously if she hired Abby Lowell. Yeah,
17:48
Speaker 2: she's already under indictment mortgage fraud, and apparently there's more
17:52
Speaker 2: charges coming because when you get caught with that mortgage fraud,
17:56
Speaker 2: you then get hit with tax fraud because you're cheating
17:59
Speaker 2: the rs, so they'll be tax fraud, all sorts of
18:02
Speaker 2: stuff coming. Yeah, she's already under indictment, already lawyered up,
18:06
Speaker 2: already headed to court. Let's go to Jim in Brooklyn. Jim,
18:09
Speaker 2: how you doing.
18:11
Speaker 6: Doing great? I just had a little tidbit about that
18:14
Speaker 6: Louver heist in France.
18:16
Speaker 2: The louver, Oh the louver, Yes, yes, the lose.
18:20
Speaker 6: Sorry I like to mispronounce French.
18:25
Speaker 2: Okay, I work were you involved?
18:28
Speaker 6: I wish I get my name out there. But anyway,
18:32
Speaker 6: they not only were they using for the security system
18:36
Speaker 6: Windows XP. You remember that, Yeah, I mean that's like
18:39
Speaker 6: fifteen twenty years old. Okay, the password for their entire
18:43
Speaker 6: security system. You're gonna like this, Yeah, you better write
18:47
Speaker 6: it that.
18:47
Speaker 2: Well, we don't have much time. It's only a two
18:49
Speaker 2: hour show. You got to get it. You gotta strut
18:51
Speaker 2: the sentence.
18:52
Speaker 6: Okay.
18:53
Speaker 2: It was louver, I mean the lover. Yeah. Okay, well
18:56
Speaker 2: that's a pretty good password because a lot of people
18:58
Speaker 2: can't spell how do you spell it? L o U
19:03
Speaker 2: v r E. I think I don't know. Yeah, well
19:05
Speaker 2: it's government, you know, government run stuff. They use old, old,
19:08
Speaker 2: old equipment. They're on an old Windows XP. But but
19:12
Speaker 2: still it was more to it than that. And they
19:15
Speaker 2: really seriously think that there was an insider or too
19:20
Speaker 2: involved who showed them the security system, showed them all this,
19:24
Speaker 2: and they still haven't figured out the jewels were stolen.
19:28
Speaker 2: Was it a collector, some very very wealthy collector, some
19:31
Speaker 2: sort of James Bond villain type of guy who wanted
19:34
Speaker 2: them just to have them and hired this team to
19:36
Speaker 2: do it, or was the idea. I mean, you can't
19:40
Speaker 2: just sell the pieces. They're too well known. Was the
19:42
Speaker 2: idea to bust them up and sell all the jewels separately.
19:46
Speaker 2: They've caught to two of them. They'll get the rest eventually.
19:49
Speaker 2: And again they still think they've got some sort of
19:52
Speaker 2: cell phone records, some sort of digital communication between people
19:56
Speaker 2: inside the museum and these guys, so they think there
19:59
Speaker 2: was some insight. I'd help. Let's go to Mike in Florida. Mike,
20:02
Speaker 2: how you doing, good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
20:07
Speaker 1: White Dahak claiming to be a Cuomo sexual when he
20:10
Speaker 1: was standing remember Joy the pandemic.
20:14
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking about Yeah, your phone keeps cutting out.
20:18
Speaker 2: You're we're talking about the You gotta remember when Cuomo
20:21
Speaker 2: was popular. That was when he did those daily press conferences,
20:24
Speaker 2: those daily briefings during the pandemic, and people used to
20:27
Speaker 2: watch them every day and they, you know, they called
20:30
Speaker 2: them Cuomo sexuals. He was like a matinee star every day.
20:35
Speaker 2: And uh, Joy Behar and the others. But you have
20:38
Speaker 2: to remember something. It was a lockdown. It was a pandemic.
20:42
Speaker 2: You were trapped in your house a lock a literal lockdown.
20:45
Speaker 2: You were trapped in your house and frightened. That's why
20:48
Speaker 2: everybody watched that every day. That's why he became so popular.
20:52
Speaker 2: If he tried it now now, right now, just every
20:56
Speaker 2: day at noon, he'll talk for an hour, nobody would
20:59
Speaker 2: watch it. It's only because you were terrified of the
21:01
Speaker 2: pandemic and you couldn't go anywhere. You were stuck there
21:05
Speaker 2: watching it. So and it was on every channel. So
21:07
Speaker 2: it's not that he was great at a press conference.
21:09
Speaker 2: It's not that he had anything to say. That's why
21:11
Speaker 2: it worked. If he did it right now, every day
21:14
Speaker 2: live YouTube, you'll give you nobody. His own family wouldn't
21:18
Speaker 2: watch it. It's like you remember the when the Iraq
21:21
Speaker 2: War broke out. It was kind of scary to a
21:23
Speaker 2: lot of people. We were suddenly at war in Iraq
21:25
Speaker 2: and Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense. Rumsfeld did that daily briefing,
21:30
Speaker 2: same thing happening. You go back and look up these articles.
21:32
Speaker 2: Rumsfeld was suddenly a superstar. They all loved Rumsfeld. And
21:38
Speaker 2: you know, once people weren't so scared and they didn't
21:40
Speaker 2: have to watch it, and then nobody they al sudden
21:42
Speaker 2: everybody hated him. So again, let's challenge Cuomo do a
21:46
Speaker 2: daily press conference every day right now, twelve noon every
21:49
Speaker 2: day for an hour. Let's see who you can get
21:51
Speaker 2: to watch it now, just based on your personality. Hey,
21:54
Speaker 2: when we come back, Steve Moore, we hope we'll be
21:56
Speaker 2: with us. Steve Moore, the great economists. We'll talk about
21:59
Speaker 2: the shutdown, the economy, and a whole lot more coming
22:02
Speaker 2: up next on seven ten Woor mister.
22:06
Speaker 1: New York marks them on Kevin B.
22:09
Speaker 2: W Alarm. Well, he got a great economist, Steve Moore.
22:14
Speaker 2: You should get his book, The Trump Economic Miracle. You'll
22:17

22:19

22:31
Speaker 2: Prosperity dot com. Steve Moore, how you doing.
22:36
Speaker 8: Hey, Mark, Well, I've been doing better. I'm not real
22:39
Speaker 8: happy about what happened on Tuesday. I'm kind of despondent
22:43
Speaker 8: about it. Actually, that you know, more than half of
22:47
Speaker 8: New York voters voted for a socialist. I don't quite
22:50
Speaker 8: understand it. I don't understand why you know when you
22:54
Speaker 8: may know that I met Milton Freeman and became friends
22:57
Speaker 8: with us towards the end of his life. And I
22:59
Speaker 8: remember one of the last dinners I had with him
23:02
Speaker 8: before he died. You know, he turned to me, he said, Steve,
23:04
Speaker 8: you know that he was kind of despotting himself. He said,
23:07
Speaker 8: you know, the enduring lesson of the twentieth century for
23:10
Speaker 8: anyone who's historian, was that, you know, socialism, communism, Leninism,
23:17
Speaker 8: all these things are a disaster and a free enterprise,
23:21
Speaker 8: free markets are what great prosperity. And yet and he said, yet,
23:25
Speaker 8: all these kids are graduating from college thinking the opposite.
23:29
Speaker 8: And he was right, and we've learned that. You know,
23:31
Speaker 8: did you see it was the college educated who wrote
23:33
Speaker 8: from MANDONI.
23:34
Speaker 2: Yeah, but these colleges about twenty five thirty years ago
23:37
Speaker 2: became indoctrination centers, left wing kooch professactly.
23:40
Speaker 8: How do we think it's actually been going on for
23:42
Speaker 8: more than twenty five years? But they're in doctrinating with
23:45
Speaker 8: kids with completely lunatic ideas. And you know, I was
23:49
Speaker 8: on Fox the other day and Will Kane asked me, hey, Steve,
23:53
Speaker 8: has socialism communism ever worked anywhere, And I said, well,
23:56
Speaker 8: it could work in heaven, you know, where people are angels,
24:00
Speaker 8: but you know here on earth, where we're not angels.
24:02
Speaker 8: You know, you need a you know, where we pursue
24:06
Speaker 8: our self interest. You know, the best way to organize
24:09
Speaker 8: a society is for enterprise.
24:11
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, listen, it didn't work the first one hundred
24:15
Speaker 2: and seventy five thousand times.
24:16
Speaker 11: Maybe it'll work this time exactly, could be you know,
24:20
Speaker 11: you never you never say number.
24:22
Speaker 8: But but listen, I mean the idea, for example, of
24:24
Speaker 8: raising the income tax rate to sixteen and a half
24:28
Speaker 8: percent when you're all ready the highest tax city in
24:32
Speaker 8: the North America and you want to retain your status
24:37
Speaker 8: as the you know, the financial capital of the world
24:41
Speaker 8: with Wall Street, how are you going to do that
24:43
Speaker 8: with a tax that high? It's going to people. I've
24:45
Speaker 8: said it and I've said it again. I believe now
24:48
Speaker 8: Wall Street is going to slowly continue to move out
24:51
Speaker 8: of New York and it'll move probably to Dallas, Texas.
24:54
Speaker 9: Well.
24:54
Speaker 2: They already have these huge yo Wall Street, the huge
24:58
Speaker 2: operations Dallas and other places. But yes, are those more
25:01
Speaker 2: backroom jobs that's not actual trading floors, are they?
25:06
Speaker 8: Well, they're gonna, Yeah, they're going to have a tax
25:07
Speaker 8: Texas Stock exchange. They just opened one a month ago. No,
25:10
Speaker 8: I don't know how far along it is. I don't know,
25:13
Speaker 8: but you know, I think one thing that may happen is,
25:15
Speaker 8: you know, they're going to have to get a crane
25:17
Speaker 8: and lift the iconic bowl on Wall Street and move
25:20
Speaker 8: it to Dallas, you know. And it's just it's sad
25:23
Speaker 8: because New York is one of our most important, you know,
25:26
Speaker 8: our most important and powerful city, not just in the
25:29
Speaker 8: United States, but I say in the world. And uh,
25:32
Speaker 8: we got eight million people live there. And you know
25:34
Speaker 8: what's really sad about this is the people are going
25:37
Speaker 8: to take the biggest hit of these lowest income people
25:40
Speaker 8: because you know, when the millionaires and billionaires leave, they're
25:42
Speaker 8: not going to pay all these taxes and then and
25:45
Speaker 8: then who's going to pay them?
25:46
Speaker 2: Yeah. Hey, one thing about socialism that does work. Whenever
25:50
Speaker 2: the government socialists, you know, when they try to help
25:52
Speaker 2: the poor, somehow, it always ends up helping the rich
25:55
Speaker 2: a lot more, very wealthy people too.
25:57
Speaker 8: Well, tru Yeah, it is, that's absolut true. And and
26:01
Speaker 8: you see that, by the way, like California is another
26:04
Speaker 8: good example. You know, the left always talks about, you know,
26:07
Speaker 8: the division of wealth and the gap between the rich
26:09
Speaker 8: and poor. You know what state has the biggest gap
26:11
Speaker 8: between rich and poor California, and yet they have the
26:14
Speaker 8: most liberal you know, and the second most you know,
26:17
Speaker 8: biggest gap between rich and poors is in New York.
26:20
Speaker 8: Now what's going to happen. You're going to raise your
26:22
Speaker 8: taxes right on all the rich people, and they're going
26:26
Speaker 8: to a lot of not all of them, but a
26:28
Speaker 8: lot of them will leave. And you know, when the
26:31
Speaker 8: head of Citadel, Ken Griffin, left Chicago. As you know,
26:33
Speaker 8: I grew up in Chicago, so I followed Chicago very closely.
26:36
Speaker 8: And when I grew up, it was one of the
26:38
Speaker 8: ten greatest cities on the planet. And then they started
26:42
Speaker 8: electing these crazy, uh you know, people like Brandon Johnson,
26:47
Speaker 8: and so these people like Ken Griffin up and left.
26:50
Speaker 8: He's a billionaire and all of a sudden, all that
26:52
Speaker 8: he was the single biggest philanthropist in the city. He
26:55
Speaker 8: you know, gave money to the Museum of Science and Industry,
26:58
Speaker 8: all the homeless shelters, all the food kitchens, all the
27:01
Speaker 8: you know, orphanages, blah blah, blah, And then they said, gee,
27:04
Speaker 8: what happened all that money? Why isn't he given us
27:07
Speaker 8: money anymore? He didn't live there anymore.
27:08
Speaker 6: You idiots.
27:09
Speaker 2: He moved. Yeah, you know, he bought a two hundred
27:12
Speaker 2: and fifty million dollar apartment right down this right two
27:15
Speaker 2: blocks over on fifty ninth Street there. So yeah, but
27:18
Speaker 2: I think he technically lives in Florida. So but give
27:21
Speaker 2: people some hope. Then we go through this with the Blasio.
27:24
Speaker 2: We got through eight years of him. Won't it. It'll
27:26
Speaker 2: be okay, won't it.
27:28
Speaker 8: You know, yeah, I think it's not going to be
27:30
Speaker 8: a disaster, but it's going to it's just going to
27:32
Speaker 8: be a demise of New York City. And you know,
27:37
Speaker 8: you know what's most maddening about this, or something you
27:39
Speaker 8: can appreciate is, you know, when in the mid nineties
27:43
Speaker 8: when Rudy Giuliani was elected mayor, and by the way,
27:46
Speaker 8: Rudy was not a saint. I like Rudy a lot,
27:48
Speaker 8: but you know, he's not a saint. But he did
27:50
Speaker 8: a lot of things that were just obvious. He cut taxes,
27:52
Speaker 8: he reduced crime, He got rid of the graffiti and
27:55
Speaker 8: the and the failth in the city, and he made
27:59
Speaker 8: it a livable city again. And guess what, New York
28:02
Speaker 8: City had a renaissance and it was great to see
28:05
Speaker 8: you could see a week after.
28:06
Speaker 2: You lived there.
28:06
Speaker 8: Right during Rudy's retrain, you just got better and better
28:09
Speaker 8: and better. And what's so sad is now you've got
28:12
Speaker 8: Mndonnee coming, who's going to go right back to the
28:15
Speaker 8: policies before Rudy came in, and you were just going
28:17
Speaker 8: to see a decline and it's gonna be a steady
28:20
Speaker 8: and slow decline, but it is going to happen because
28:24
Speaker 8: show me anywhere where you raise taxes and it's it's
28:26
Speaker 8: made things better.
28:28
Speaker 2: Hey, Steve Moore, all kinds of rumors coming out of
28:31
Speaker 2: Washington that the shutdown will end on Friday. Democrats wanted
28:34
Speaker 2: to use it in the election, that they'll make a
28:36
Speaker 2: deal Friday.
28:37
Speaker 11: What do you think, Well, I think they've been in
28:40
Speaker 11: boldened by this election, which you know, which was a
28:43
Speaker 11: big landslide for Democrats, and so now they feel like
28:47
Speaker 11: they don't have to make a deal at least that's
28:48
Speaker 11: what I'm hearing from my senate friends, that it's that's
28:51
Speaker 11: making it harder to get a deal from them because
28:54
Speaker 11: they want to stick it to Trump, but it's causing
28:56
Speaker 11: real problems. I travel all the time. I missed your
28:59
Speaker 11: Soul last week because I was on the road. And
29:01
Speaker 11: you know, you get to the airports. Now it's chaos,
29:04
Speaker 11: you know, it really is. You know, it seems like
29:06
Speaker 11: twenty percent of the flights are either delayed or canceled,
29:09
Speaker 11: and people you can't get through the security lines and
29:11
Speaker 11: all of this stuff.
29:12
Speaker 8: And you know, the thing that's so maddening is this
29:14
Speaker 8: is exactly what the Democrats wanted. They wanted the case
29:17
Speaker 8: they want, the mayhem they want. They wouldn't even open
29:20
Speaker 8: up the they wouldn't even pay the military for goodness sakes.
29:24
Speaker 2: Well, that's one good thing about the shutdown. We get
29:26
Speaker 2: we have you here. We know you're going to be
29:27
Speaker 2: here every Thursday with the shutdown.
29:29
Speaker 8: Yeah, oh my gosh. But it's you know, look, this
29:33
Speaker 8: is this is all going to turn out. And the
29:34
Speaker 8: good news is, you know a lot of people said, oh,
29:36
Speaker 8: the big problem right now they vote from any because
29:39
Speaker 8: of the affordability crisis. So now I guess the government's
29:42
Speaker 8: just going to give stuff away for free.
29:44
Speaker 2: Yeah, inflation. They hit Trump with this that you know,
29:48
Speaker 2: he's problems with inflation. It's absolutely not true. Inflation was very,
29:53
Speaker 2: very high. It's coming down slowly, but it's coming down,
29:56
Speaker 2: isn't it.
29:56
Speaker 8: Yes, it is.
29:57
Speaker 2: Yeah.
29:58
Speaker 8: And you know people are angry, like my wife about
30:00
Speaker 8: how much you pay for you know, coffee and you
30:03
Speaker 8: know beef and things like that. Well, yeah, that's because
30:06
Speaker 8: they went up by twenty five percent when when Biden was.
30:08
Speaker 6: President, you know.
30:09
Speaker 8: And now the Democrats are blaming. And by the way,
30:12
Speaker 8: why did prices go through the roof? Because they spent
30:14
Speaker 8: and borrowed five trillion dollars. That's why.
30:17
Speaker 2: As I remember, long before Trump won, asking you how
30:21
Speaker 2: long will it take for it to come down really
30:23
Speaker 2: take effect, you said it will take a year to
30:26
Speaker 2: really fix that.
30:27
Speaker 8: And he has. It's been nine months. He's already done.
30:29
Speaker 8: I mean, we're at we're at three percent inflation right now,
30:31
Speaker 8: which is still above where we want to be. But
30:34
Speaker 8: ladies and gentlemen, it went up to nine point one
30:36
Speaker 8: percent under Biden, So that's one third as high as
30:39
Speaker 8: it was when Biden was president. Uh so we're making
30:41
Speaker 8: progress here. And by the way, the four percent economic
30:44
Speaker 8: growth is what the Atlanta Fed is now saying four percent.
30:47
Speaker 8: We never had four percent growth under Biden.
30:49
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know they throw in healthcare and educational court.
30:54
Speaker 2: That's not really a product of inflation. That's a whole
30:56
Speaker 2: separate problem, isn't it the healthcare?
30:59
Speaker 8: You know, this is a real danger mark because I
31:03
Speaker 8: have some friends who called me yesterday said they just
31:05
Speaker 8: got their healthcare statement about what's going to happen with
31:09
Speaker 8: their premiums next year that they pay for their health care,
31:12
Speaker 8: and they're going up twenty five to thirty in some
31:13
Speaker 8: cases thirty five percent. That's not Trump didn't wait a
31:17
Speaker 8: minute fifteen years ago, didn't we pass something called the
31:20
Speaker 8: Affordable Care Act? I thought that was going to get
31:22
Speaker 8: rid of all these price increases. You know, since we've
31:24
Speaker 8: paid we passed the Affordable Care Act, the cost of
31:28
Speaker 8: healthcare is tripled.
31:29
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again not that's not an inflation. That's a
31:32
Speaker 2: whole other situation causing that.
31:35
Speaker 8: It's because we have the government running the healthcare system.
31:37
Speaker 8: You know, what was the old line by what was
31:42
Speaker 8: his name, that the humorous PJ. O'Rourke used to say,
31:44
Speaker 8: do you think healthcare is expensive? Now wait till the
31:46
Speaker 8: government gives it away for free?
31:50
Speaker 2: Well, Steve Moore, great stuff. Everybody. Get his book, The
31:52
