Speaker 1 (00:01):
Now on the Voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's the Mark sim Own Show on seven tenor.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I've been gone a few days. A lot has happened.
We'll go over all of it and bring you all
the latest, all the inside scoop on everything. And Thanksgiving
is over with, thank God, it's enough with that. Thanksgiving.
Now it's the Christmas season. The tree is gonna get
lit this week, so my, but it's going to be
(00:31):
a big week with all this Christmas stuff. And it
looks like more tourists than ever are coming to New York.
In fact, people tell me they're trying to get a
hotel room in New York City right now in the
next couple of weeks and it's absolutely impossible. So that's
good for New York. That means tourism, which is a
major major source of revenue, is way up. And real
(00:53):
estate people tell me people are buying and there's no
shortage of custom and we're showing up wanting to buy
something in New York. So despite Mom, Donnie, new York
looks pretty good. Looks like everything's going to be great
this coming year. Also, remember affordability. I love to talk
about affordability. These Democrats meantime, they're the problem when it
(01:16):
comes to affordability, Taxing people to death, the taxes that
they put on you, especially in any blue place like
New York City tax, property tax, state tax, they just
tax you to death, which is basically a tariff. It's
personal tariffs they're putting on you. So nobody's tariffing you
more than these Democratic lawmakers with these policies and these taxes,
(01:39):
and that's the affordability crisis. Cut these taxes. Now, the
President got that big beautiful bill passed, and people complain
about the economy. It's not great, it's better than it was. Remember,
we inherited in this administration. They inherited a major, major mess.
Inflation as high as nine percent, and throughout the Biden
(02:02):
administration averaged five percent. It's now down to two and
a half percent, heading to two percent, but that won't
happen till next year. And here's the important thing to
remember about the big beautiful bill. It contained the largest
tax cut in history. And you might be saying, well,
I don't feel it. Well, it didn't kick in yet.
It kicks in in January. The big, big beautiful bill
(02:24):
and the tax cutting, all that doesn't start till twenty
twenty six. So in January, you'll get your tax cut,
you'll get some relief, maybe Thanksgiving weekend vacation. Everybody's off, everybody,
but not the fake news. They were working twenty four
to seven to try to get President Trump in one
(02:45):
way or another. Whatever they can do. They latch onto
every little thing. So the latest one is Pete Hegxath
giving his order to when you blow up the drug boat,
if there's any serve floating in the water, blow them
up to second bombing kill them, which some legal analysts
(03:08):
say would be war crimes. It's a controversial thing.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The good news is there's absolutely no evidence anywhere that
this happened. You may well bet it's all over the news.
What do you mean it never had Well, it all
comes from one story in the Washington Post. And in
that story, I remember, this is the Washington Post, who
all they do is go after Trump day and Night's
been going on for ten years, and ninety nine point
(03:33):
nine percent of their attacks on Trump turned out to
be totally false. You can check their record on that,
and in this one, they have absolutely no evidence of
any kind. They don't have a single source they can name.
They don't have a shred of evidence of any of this,
so there's no reason to think it's true. Exits that
it didn't happen, and I don't know. I would assume
(03:58):
it didn't happen because it's just there's no reason for it.
And again the Washington Post, if there were any evidence anywhere,
if anybody saw it, heard it, they would have had
it in the article. So they wrote this thing but
with absolutely no evidence. The President flying back to Washington
last night, was asked about it on the plane.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
We'll look into it, but no, I wouldn't have wanted that,
not a second strike. The first strike was very lethal,
it was fine, and if there were two people around,
but Pete said that didn't happen, I am great confidence.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah. So again, no evidence anywhere that had actually happened.
Although it doesn't matter of those crazy people in Congress.
They're going to hold hearings, investigations, there's that, but investigate
all you want, have as many hearings as you want.
There's no evidence anywhere anywhere that had happened. Now, the
other controversy that if you're watching these Sunday shows, they
(04:52):
were pretty desperate this weekend because it's Thanksgiving weekend, all
the big guests are away. You saw a lot of
Tim Waltz. They said to you, says, yes, it's Tim Waltz.
Everybody's putting Tim Waltz on TV. Is he making a
big combay? No, there's Thanksgiving weekend. You couldn't get anybody.
All the major names are away, so you had to
go to your B list and they were away, and
then you were down to like the D list, and
(05:13):
then the bottom of the barrel was Tim Waltz. If
you're watching the Sunday shows, the guests all seem to
have splinters all over them from being in the bottom
of the barrel, and that's why you saw them. They
they did go back. They're still trying. You see what
they've They've come up with something. They come up with
some plot like this Pete Hexath story, and then they
(05:35):
push it non stop around the clock, day and night, morning, Joe, Rachel,
Matt out of the view every day. Just keep John Stewart.
They keep pushing it, pushing it, pushing it. Finally, there's
no evidence it fizzles out. It's gone. We could go
back and name you have two hundred of these things
and then about seven eight weeks later, they just give up.
(05:55):
The other one is this Democrats with the illegal orders.
If you get an illegal order from Donald Trump, you
can refuse it. We will back when you get an
illegal order. Now, there's never been any hint anywhere of
anybody getting an illegal order. It's a totally non existent,
made up, fake problem. But these Democrats, backed by sorrows,
(06:18):
the Soros family, put up a lot of money for
this stuff. And now, I mean they think this out,
they plot this out. If you get this all over
the place, stir up this controversy. There's no never been
any even suspicion of an illegal order anywhere. But if
you start running this stuff all and now people think,
oh illegal orders. Wow. So if I were the president,
(06:42):
I would do it. Right Back to Mark Kelly, I
just start posting videos. If you've been raped by Mark Kelly,
you have every right to contact the police. Just run
these all over the place. If you've been raped by
Senator Mark, if you've been sexually abused by Mark Kelly,
contact the authorities, dial nine to one one of me. Now,
(07:02):
there's no hint that he's ever done such a thing,
no reason to think he's ever done such a thing.
But if you run this video enough and it gets
played all over the place, people are going to start
to look at him like he's a dangerous, weird, creepy guy.
So it's just creating this fake illusion that there's some
kind of illegal orders. There's no hint of it. Ever,
(07:23):
nothing like that has happened. Cash battel FBI director, a
lot of flack on him. Now, a lot of this
is just made up. Some of this there might be
some validity to another president's taking a keeping an eye
on cash Patel, just this management dis executive abilities within
the FBI. People say it's a little rudderless. He's good
(07:45):
on some things, other things he's a little sloppy. There's
people upset with you know, he's using private jets to
go on vacation and there's you know, playing golf too much,
using a lot of security security on his girlfriend, FBI guarding.
This is all a taxpayer expense. But there is some
evidence that there were death threats and the death threats
(08:08):
went to his girlfriend as well, so that would justify that.
The other controversy, Oh this is another one they're going
to try. The president got his yearly physical and they
took an MRI. Now they're demanding to see the MRI.
President Trump was asked about it. They thought they had him.
(08:29):
They're going to confront him. Will you release that MRI?
And he said yeah, okay, oh yeah, I'll release it. Yeah,
why not, which kind of stunned them. It's not unusual,
especially when you get older, if they think they see something,
you know, sometimes it's just a spot on a cat
scan or a actually got a little spot, not sure
what it is, so just for just to be safety,
(08:50):
oll MRI because that's more detailed. It's usually something like that.
There's no evidence that anything serious happened in the MRI.
You see. Oh they're fighting to see this. They must
see this. As if Jake Tapper will know how to
read an MRI, well, we'll get a doctor to Yeah,
you'll get one of their fake CNN doctors. In fact,
(09:12):
who's this Vin Gupta. They've been using him a lot MSNBC.
He's been all over television. Check out my Twitter you'll
see some very funny video where he's saying, as a doctor,
I'm looking at the President Trump and he looks he
clearly has cognitive decline. I can see he's not functioning properly,
doesn't look good. So we got that video and then
it's cut together with a year ago where he's saying,
(09:32):
Joe Biden looks fine as a doctor. I can see
he's vigorous, he looks as sharp and as so you
can't trust these MSNBC, CNN doctor types, these fake news doctors.
The National Guard shooting course a horrific story over the
holiday weekend. The guy was a he had worked with
the CIA, he was a professional assassin in Afghanistan. It's
(09:56):
believed that he was radicalized, that he's t to terrorism
of some kind, and that this was not just a
guy when crazy and started firing. This was some kind
of a deliberate terrorist attack plan to screw up everybody
for the Thanksgiving holiday. It happened the night before. They've
got the suspect. He was shot. They shot back and
(10:20):
hit him. He's not dead and looks like he'll survive,
and that'll be a hell of a trial. So we'll
get into that in more detail coming up. Frightening thing
over the last a few did frightening Andrew Cuomo speaking
about something Somewhere in the speech he hinted at a
return and some interpreted. What he was saying is that
(10:42):
he might be running for governor or Congress next year. Boy,
you talk about a guy with no self awareness at all,
no clue is how he's perceived by the public. The
governor's race is next year. He could run for that,
or he could run for congres. He could be a congressman,
he could be a Senator. I don't think he has
(11:03):
any chance of that. They don't like him in New
York City. When he ran for mayor, he had the
biggest advantage of any candidate ever. Nobody's ever had advantages
like this. They chased other people out of the race.
They told Adams to get out of the race. He
got out. They kept telling Curtis to get out. Curtis,
being a man of principal, did not get out. But
(11:27):
everybody everywhere was all over everything you could be watching
or seeing, telling you do not vote for Curtis, vote
for Cuomo. Everybody, including the President of the United States.
So every voter was being told by everybody on the air, online,
everywhere to vote for Cuomo. And despite that, he couldn't
win with all of that going for him, and he
(11:48):
was up against a complete left wing nut job and
he couldn't win, couldn't win at all, had nothing to
do with Curtis. You could have added every single Curtis
voter to his total and he still didn't come close.
He still would have lost by a number of points.
So that's New York City. Now upstate he's less popular.
So if he couldn't win New York City with every
(12:10):
advantage in the world, how's he gonna win upstate with
no advantages. So it's a ridiculous thing on his part. Now,
either he's just totally delusional, or it's also possible he
knows he can't win. But you put that out in
the air that you're gonna be running for governor senator,
and then all these people who you're looking at for
(12:31):
a job or for money, or you want them to
hire you as a lobbyist, a consultant or give you
a big executive job. It makes you more attractive, and think, oh,
this guy might be governor. I better hire him. We
should put this guy on the payroll. He could be
the senator. So that might be the other reason he's
doing it. A lot of people yelling and screaming that
we have to have a Republican party in New York.
(12:52):
You need a two party system. The Democratic Party is
a huge organization apparatus, a lot of infrastructure, massive amount
of workers, ground game, everything. The Republican Party is like
two guys part time in an office and nothing. There's
no Republican Party, nothing, nothing, It doesn't exist. So that
(13:13):
should be a goal actually for all the big Republican donors.
Create an actual Republican party with big, big, big personnel, infrastructure,
with a lot of clout. There's no Republican actual Republican parties,
a tiny little thing. Then you got these Republican clubs
that do absolutely nothing to help anybody. They just hold dinners,
(13:35):
try to get somebody from Fox to come be the speaker,
chase them around the room and take selfies with them.
It's usually just a bunch of old ladies. That's all
they do. It doesn't help any candidate anywhere in any election.
So creating a Republican party very very important. Here. Coming up,
we'll get to Dick Van Dyke. How do you live
(13:55):
to be one hundred? He had some great lessons. Oh, welso, no,
it's happening. We'll probably get an announcement later. There's you know,
casinos in New York. There's three bids left for city
casinos in New York City and the gaming whatever they
are gaming facility location board, which why are we trusting
(14:19):
these five people to make the decision anyway, they're going
to make the decision. Now, there's three left, three locations left,
and this board could happen in the next hour or two.
We'll make the decision.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They could decide to have all three have the casinos.
They could pick one or two, or they could decide no,
none of them, and then if they don't get through
this hearing, that's pretty much the end of it. One
of the casinos, Steve Cohen big a casino with it's
not just a casino, you want to think a hotel,
a concert venue, everything. It would be right a clo
across from from City Field, and then the other one
(14:56):
would be in the Bronx. That's the one I would
go with because it's a you know, when you go
over the throgs Neck, there's a golf course there that
was the Trump golf Course, and because of Trump's arrangement syndrome,
they may take the name off it and now it's valleys.
You could put one there because it might help the Bronx,
But I don't know how does it help really? It
(15:19):
brings in a lot of people over there over the
throgs Neck, But if you go right over the throgs Neck,
that whole area there seems to be pretty much a
big residential neighborhood. Why would they want a casino in there?
Then the other bit is aqueduct racetrack in Queen's they've
got slot machines. This would be to go full casino everything,
you know, tables and showrooms. But again, do we really
(15:45):
need that? Who needs that? You know? The silliest one
was Times Square. Go to Times Square tonight at midnight.
It's packed, you can't move, it's mob there's lights and
stores and everything and a million people. I mean, nobody
would stand there and crowd. It would take you an
hour to fight your way through the crowd. Nobody would
stand and go, huh, you know what this needs? A casino.
(16:07):
Usually put the casino where it's empty and dead and
you're trying to bring it back. You don't usually put
it in a place where it's two crowded to begin with,
and it's going twenty four hours a day non stup. Anyway,
we've got a lot to get to. We'll get to
Mom Donnie, We'll get to Luigi Mangion, We'll get to
Black Friday. It looks like it was the best one
ever on record. So you know, when you see these
(16:27):
surveys of people the consumer confidence wait wait, waitit way down.
Don't go by what people sometimes get conned to say
things in a pull. The fact is they spent more
money this Black Friday than ever, so that tells you
more than the opinions do. We'll take some calls in
a minute. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
(16:47):
ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Give woor oh, Bri said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in and
in hell back to the Mark Simo show on wor.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hey, Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Joe
in New York City. Joe, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
New York City mayor election? Mark? Mark the next one.
We need help from Brooklyn Vincent to go get rid
of that communist moment. Danny Riowami, I mean we need
elder statesman spokes with Vincent.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, actually, you know, you bring up, believe it or not,
in all that mess there. You just said there was
a point in there somewhere. We got to go back
to getting like real serious people to run for office.
You know, it used to be serious types. You know,
Rudy Giuliani with a ton of experience, an incredible resume,
or even you know David Dinkins. You might say, well,
(17:51):
I wasn't a great mayor, but you know, a couple
of decades in public service and a very well spoken, articulate,
reasonable sort of a man. George Patakia, people like that.
Now look at the people you got running for office.
Mam Donnie's twelve years old, he became a citizen a
couple of months ago, never had a job. You got
people even worse, believe it or not. You know, Mam Donnie.
(18:14):
When he leaves the Assembly, somebody's got to run for
a seat. You should see the three candidates that were running.
They're crazier than Ma'm donnie. They're more left, more ridiculous
than so. I don't know. Well, we'll get into this later.
What happened to the Democratic Party and why this is happening.
Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
(18:34):
good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving break.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah. You know, the people say, boy, you should never retire.
If you had nothing to do all day, it's awful.
You know what, it was great, It was phenomenal. You
enjoyed having nothing to do. But go ahead, it's nice.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's nice doing nothing all day. But I was going
to point out that the Democrats have two things that
they're very cunning about. One is they'll put a topic
out there, such as the illegal bombing of the speedboat
drug dealers. They're not fisherman the speedboats.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And then Republicans take debate and they go, wow, we'll
hold you know, we'll hold an investigation and we'll see.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, it's not Republicans taking the bait. Even in the
Republican Congress, you got a lot of them that hate
Donald Trump. They're looking for trouble. So it's like this
Andy McCarthy, great guy, Andy McCarthy, brilliant guy, but he
hates Trump. He hates Trump. So whenever they write an
opportunity to pounce, Andy McCarthy takes it otherwise, And the.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Other the other thing they do is they have their
little group of guys. So now this, you know, the
flavor of the monk is Mark Kelly. You know when
it's you know, it used to be Adam Schiff for
Jamie Raskin or Maxine Waters, and they put him out
there and they're just very devoutly stick to the script.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, well that's a good point, Mike Yea, thanks for
calling the thing with Mark Kelly. The way he looks,
he looks like a very serious, older, you know guy,
like an old pompous or not pompous, but a very
somber old guy, you know, traditional old sort of a guy.
And then you're like, oh, he's an astronaut, he was
in the military. That seems like a very old fashioned
(20:08):
sort of a So he was talking about running for president,
got nowhere. So now it's all different with him because
you see him all over television acting like a left
wing cook, like a flame throwing hate the president, left wing,
spewing hatred. Now that Democrats like him, Aha, this guy's great.
You know when he looked traditional, reasonable, no interest. Now
(20:28):
that he's like spewing nonsense and fishes hate. Now they
love the guy. Let's go to Jerry in Greenwich, Connecticut. Jerry,
how you doing.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I'm doing well, Mark, thank you for taking my call.
I'm not joking. I'm eighty six years old, and I
would like to know if there is a college, a
special college for all these democrats to go and graduate
for lying to the American people. If there's a special college,
because haven't never heard so many people like.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh, you mean a special college to teach craziness lying
left wing? Yes there is. It's called Yale, it's called Harvard,
it's called Columbia, it's called it's every Mayor Ivy League college.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I knew there was some college that they go to
learn to lie. Anyway, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, thanks for calling. Yeah. You know, the problem is,
see the left wing, the crazy George Soros left, they're
like the communist Chinese. They plot like one hundred years out.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Republicans are all busy going to work every day. They
plot like two days out. You know, these democrats they
plot look for decades. So the plot years ago was
to infiltrate the colleges, get rid of the professor, put
in left wing professors, real left wing professors. Then left
wing people on the board, to trustees, presidents all that.
(21:46):
So they became these left wing communists and Doctrine Nation centers.
You send and you have so many people afraid to
send the kid to college. You know, used to your
kid got accepted at Harvard. You like cry, You're so happy.
Now you cry because you're scared he's going to come
back up a total communist. There's a lot of these
stories about a guy who fled Cuba on a life
(22:08):
round a raft and got to Miami. Somehow. He's trying
to escape communism, socialism. He came to America, people like
Jerry worked hard, became very very successful. Now they're able
to send their kid to Harvard. And this guy sends
his kid to Harvard. He comes back at communist. Guess
but his whole life trying to escape communism. His son
comes back at communists. But we'll get more into this.
(22:29):
What happened to the Democratic Party? How did it go
so far to the kooky left? A little later, Hey,
Michael Goodwin not with us today on vacation. It's Thanksgiving.
But we'll talk to the brilliant columnist Liz Peak next
on seven to ten War, where.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Your comes for common sense Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Wor well Liz Peak the brilliant columnists. Course, you see
her all over television, and make sure you go to
her website where you get the best news and analysis.
It's lizpeak dot com and you can sign up. They'll
email you every day with all the latest great news, analysis,
all sorts of interesting stuff. Lizpeak dot com. Liz Peak,
(23:12):
How you doing?
Speaker 8 (23:14):
I am terrific. I'm recovering from Thanksgiving? How about you?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'm so glad it's over because I don't want one
more person? What do you do on Thanksgiving? Everybody has
the same stupid story. You know. I went to my sister,
We went to my uncle's, we went to my daughter.
It's all the same. It's like saying, what do you have?
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Yeah, what did you have for Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Turkey?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So Hey, New York where you're talking about this? Apparently
you cannot get a hotel room in New York City
in the coming weeks. Real estate agents said they got
tons of clients. So I guess people aren't afraid of mom.
Donnie should should? We just figure things will be like Deblasio,
We'll get through it.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Well, that's a good question.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
People are downplaying the radical team he is assembling. I
mean it is radical, Mark, you got to say. I
mean he's got someone newly appointed person to watch to
head up the transportation Department, who I guess is anti
car so that's a useful kind of credential for figuring
(24:17):
out how to improve our traffic. He's got an education
head who is viciously anti Charter, so that's not very wonderful.
I mean, if you just kind of look at all
the various things he's done, other than keeping Jessica Tish
the police commissioner in place, I'd say pretty much everything
he's done is right out of the most left wing
(24:39):
handbook you could possibly write, and not very encouraging. Are
people basically looking past it? I don't think they know
what to expect, Mark, I mean, we had a horrible mayor,
build a Blasio for eight years, despised by everybody I
know and that you know, who had horrible policies, wrecked
(24:59):
a prosperous, safe city, and he really did. I mean
he came in after twelve years, twelve years of Mike Bloomberg, who,
whether you love Mike Bloomberg or not, he promoted a
safe city, prosperous city, attracted new industries to our town,
et cetera. And Bill Deblasio basically set out to undermine
all of that, which was just an astonishing decision. So,
(25:24):
you know, I think they're sort of thinking, well, if
we could survive de Blasio, we could survive this guy.
But you know, I think this guy's worse. I mean,
Deblasio was so kind of all over the place. Yes,
ideologically left wing, but really really lazy and inefficient and incompetent.
This guy, who knows maybe turns out to be more competent,
(25:44):
and that'd be really a disaster for us.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Although everything we've just said is identical to de Blasio.
He had a transportation guy, he hated cars, had a
yeah it was anti charter, and he brought in a
top police commissioner, butody respected Bill Braddon. So most of
these people with Mam Donnie are ex Deblasio administration people.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
But that's true, that is true.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I mean, really, other than Harvard hiring Deblasio to teach
courses there, which really just makes your head explode when
you realize that he was truly one of the worst
mayor for the city history.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
It's hard to find.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Anyone who could really imagine that hiring the people left
over from his dreadful and by the way, somewhat corrupt
regime would be people.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
You want to hire.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
But there you are. And it's not just Deblasio people.
I mean also, Mam Donnie's hiring this has hired this person.
Lena Khan Nina Khan is someone who has made a
reputation as being basically a anti big business. She was
part of the Biden administration and worked very hard to
(26:54):
undermine any kind of mergers and combinations that would work
for business, arguing that anything big was bad. So you know,
that's not a great sign, right in terms of his
interest in fomenting successful businesses in New York. I don't
think there's much you can sort of hang on to
here in the way of good news. But you know,
(27:14):
we all we always look forward to something getting better,
and I hope it does. I hope the cold water
of reality washes over this guy and his group and
they realize that they actually have to promote progress here
and not just ideology.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, hey, you were talking of this before the big
beautiful bill had the biggest tax cuts ever. But people say, well,
I don't feel it whereas it well, it doesn't kick
in until January, so once you get past the new year,
these tax cuts and other things kick in. So it
could be a very very good year for the Trump administration,
couldn't it.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
I think it will be, certainly.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Kevin Hasseid, who's head of the Council of Economic Advisors,
Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary of all but they both
talked about being a gangbuster twenty twenty six. And yes,
some of it is because of not only pro business
tax deductions and write offs and so forth that will
encourage investment by businesses, but also for people. I mean,
(28:13):
you're getting a bigger standard deduction, you're getting no taxes
on tips at a certain level.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
You know, there's a lot of good news to come
out of this tax bill.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
It is really amazing to me Mark how bad bad
Republicans are at promoting policies that have been in place,
like the big beautiful bill, when it was last time
you ever heard of Republican in Congress actually extolling the
benefits of this. They're in a defensive crouch because Democrats
have been hammering away on how it's only a handout
(28:46):
for the rich.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Mind you, any tax cuts are a handout.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
To people who pay taxes, and yes, that's probably not
the bottom forty percent of the country who pay no taxes.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
So this is a bill that will help.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I also think the twenty twenty six we're going to
actually see the incoming money from companies and countries that
a vowed to spend a lot of money and new
investments in the United States.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
This is not a fiction.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Democrats totally dismissed this, but you've had many pharmaceutical companies
saying they're going to build new facilities in America. Many
countries are coming here to build data centers and other operations.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Factories are expanding.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
If you look on the website, the White House website
has a list of it, and it is hundreds of
billions of dollars. It's really impressive. Now are we seeing
it right now? We are seeing I think I did
a search recently of new factories that are shovel.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
In the ground. There are maybe twenty of them underway now.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Mark.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
That's going to accelerate next year and you're going to
see the benefits of that in terms of hiring, construction, hiring. Eventually,
fact vere hiring and also production here in the United States.
Will it all be as labor intensive as factories in
the past. No, We're going to have more AI, more robotics,
but better here producing value added than overseas. And I
(30:16):
think I think, you know, coming into the midterms, Republicans
are going to need to have a good economic story.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
I think there's a very good chance they will have.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah. You know, years ago, we decided to outsource all
our manufacturing, and people argued, it's a nightmare as far
as defense. You know, we can't have all our weapons,
our medicines, everything made over. It's got all kinds of
But I don't think we ever realized in the end,
as much as it might save money on manufacturing, it
would economically damage the country. So thank god for Donald Trump,
(30:46):
right bringing it back.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, and you know, Joe Biden talked about on shoring,
bringing stuff back to the United States, but really didn't
do anything to promote that, because what do you need
to do. You need to lower taxes, what did Biden do?
He raise taxes? You need to reduce regulations. What did
Biden do?
Speaker 8 (31:04):
He increase regulation? So, yes, the Trump story is a
very good story. A lot of country.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Companies in Europe and Asia are looking at the United
States and saying, hey, here's a pro business administration. If
we can come in there and take advantage of again
copious energy, low taxes, and regulation.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
We want to be there. You know, talk to any
business manager in Europe.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Operating in Europe is a disaster, and you know, more
and more the head of the EU is talking about
how they have to get in line with the kinds
of policies that we're adopting, because otherwise they are dead.
They are just basically dead in the water. They're not growing.
The United States is growing, and that is the difference
between poverty and productivity and profitability. And Americans really can
(31:57):
look forward to that.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
These aren't just talking. This is actually how the world works.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
And if you look, there's been a fifteen year period
up through twenty twenty three where I think the United
States grew eighty seven percent and Europe grew about ten percent.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
That is literally true, and boyd the difference in terms.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Of people's income, people quality of life is vast, and
Americans really kind of need to take stock of that
and count their blessings and say, yeah, you know, we
want to grow. We want to add jobs for people,
We want to add wealth to people. That's what makes
our country special. So I think, yeah, I think this
(32:34):
is all going to work.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
It's just right now.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You know, you have a lot of obstructionist judges slowing
up the works in terms of getting rid of regulation,
and you know, not all the states are on board
to this. But I think honestly, the long term picture
here is still very very clear and very positive.
Speaker 1 (32:53):

Speaker 8 (33:16):
With us, Hey, Mark, thank you for having me on.
Speaker 1 (33:20):
Take care, Take care, Hey, We've got a lot to
get to in the next hour. And then coming up
at noon. I think everybody's back today, Buck and Clay
at noon today, they'll most listen to radio show in America.
You got Sean Hannity at three, Jesse Kelly at six,
and Jimmy Fayla. What a great show he does here
every night. You should check it out tonight nine o'clock
on seven to ten wor.
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Inside from the inside, this is seven ten woors markson show.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Hey, So in the next hour we'll get to mom, Donnie,
we'll get to the ho I'm nuts going to get
on a plane, Well, we'll get to that. And Miranda
Divine coming up on seven ten w o
Now on the Voice of New York.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's the Mark sim Own Show on seven tenor.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
I've been gone a few days. A lot has happened.
We'll go over all of it and bring you all
the latest, all the inside scoop on everything. And Thanksgiving
is over with, thank God, it's enough with that. Thanksgiving.
Now it's the Christmas season. The tree is gonna get
lit this week, so my, but it's going to be
(00:31):
a big week with all this Christmas stuff. And it
looks like more tourists than ever are coming to New York.
In fact, people tell me they're trying to get a
hotel room in New York City right now in the
next couple of weeks and it's absolutely impossible. So that's
good for New York. That means tourism, which is a
major major source of revenue, is way up. And real
(00:53):
estate people tell me people are buying and there's no
shortage of custom and we're showing up wanting to buy
something in New York. So despite Mom, Donnie, new York
looks pretty good. Looks like everything's going to be great
this coming year. Also, remember affordability. I love to talk
about affordability. These Democrats meantime, they're the problem when it
(01:16):
comes to affordability, Taxing people to death, the taxes that
they put on you, especially in any blue place like
New York City tax, property tax, state tax, they just
tax you to death, which is basically a tariff. It's
personal tariffs they're putting on you. So nobody's tariffing you
more than these Democratic lawmakers with these policies and these taxes,
(01:39):
and that's the affordability crisis. Cut these taxes. Now, the
President got that big beautiful bill passed, and people complain
about the economy. It's not great, it's better than it was. Remember,
we inherited in this administration. They inherited a major, major mess.
Inflation as high as nine percent, and throughout the Biden
(02:02):
administration averaged five percent. It's now down to two and
a half percent, heading to two percent, but that won't
happen till next year. And here's the important thing to
remember about the big beautiful bill. It contained the largest
tax cut in history. And you might be saying, well,
I don't feel it. Well, it didn't kick in yet.
It kicks in in January. The big, big beautiful bill
(02:24):
and the tax cutting, all that doesn't start till twenty
twenty six. So in January, you'll get your tax cut,
you'll get some relief, maybe Thanksgiving weekend vacation. Everybody's off, everybody,
but not the fake news. They were working twenty four
to seven to try to get President Trump in one
(02:45):
way or another. Whatever they can do. They latch onto
every little thing. So the latest one is Pete Hegxath
giving his order to when you blow up the drug boat,
if there's any serve floating in the water, blow them
up to second bombing kill them, which some legal analysts
(03:08):
say would be war crimes. It's a controversial thing.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
The good news is there's absolutely no evidence anywhere that
this happened. You may well bet it's all over the news.
What do you mean it never had Well, it all
comes from one story in the Washington Post. And in
that story, I remember, this is the Washington Post, who
all they do is go after Trump day and Night's
been going on for ten years, and ninety nine point
(03:33):
nine percent of their attacks on Trump turned out to
be totally false. You can check their record on that,
and in this one, they have absolutely no evidence of
any kind. They don't have a single source they can name.
They don't have a shred of evidence of any of this,
so there's no reason to think it's true. Exits that
it didn't happen, and I don't know. I would assume
(03:58):
it didn't happen because it's just there's no reason for it.
And again the Washington Post, if there were any evidence anywhere,
if anybody saw it, heard it, they would have had
it in the article. So they wrote this thing but
with absolutely no evidence. The President flying back to Washington
last night, was asked about it on the plane.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
We'll look into it, but no, I wouldn't have wanted that,
not a second strike. The first strike was very lethal,
it was fine, and if there were two people around,
but Pete said that didn't happen, I am great confidence.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Yeah. So again, no evidence anywhere that had actually happened.
Although it doesn't matter of those crazy people in Congress.
They're going to hold hearings, investigations, there's that, but investigate
all you want, have as many hearings as you want.
There's no evidence anywhere anywhere that had happened. Now, the
other controversy that if you're watching these Sunday shows, they
(04:52):
were pretty desperate this weekend because it's Thanksgiving weekend, all
the big guests are away. You saw a lot of
Tim Waltz. They said to you, says, yes, it's Tim Waltz.
Everybody's putting Tim Waltz on TV. Is he making a
big combay? No, there's Thanksgiving weekend. You couldn't get anybody.
All the major names are away, so you had to
go to your B list and they were away, and
then you were down to like the D list, and
(05:13):
then the bottom of the barrel was Tim Waltz. If
you're watching the Sunday shows, the guests all seem to
have splinters all over them from being in the bottom
of the barrel, and that's why you saw them. They
they did go back. They're still trying. You see what
they've They've come up with something. They come up with
some plot like this Pete Hexath story, and then they
(05:35):
push it non stop around the clock, day and night, morning, Joe, Rachel,
Matt out of the view every day. Just keep John Stewart.
They keep pushing it, pushing it, pushing it. Finally, there's
no evidence it fizzles out. It's gone. We could go
back and name you have two hundred of these things
and then about seven eight weeks later, they just give up.
(05:55):
The other one is this Democrats with the illegal orders.
If you get an illegal order from Donald Trump, you
can refuse it. We will back when you get an
illegal order. Now, there's never been any hint anywhere of
anybody getting an illegal order. It's a totally non existent,
made up, fake problem. But these Democrats, backed by sorrows,
(06:18):
the Soros family, put up a lot of money for
this stuff. And now, I mean they think this out,
they plot this out. If you get this all over
the place, stir up this controversy. There's no never been
any even suspicion of an illegal order anywhere. But if
you start running this stuff all and now people think,
oh illegal orders. Wow. So if I were the president,
(06:42):
I would do it. Right Back to Mark Kelly, I
just start posting videos. If you've been raped by Mark Kelly,
you have every right to contact the police. Just run
these all over the place. If you've been raped by
Senator Mark, if you've been sexually abused by Mark Kelly,
contact the authorities, dial nine to one one of me. Now,
(07:02):
there's no hint that he's ever done such a thing,
no reason to think he's ever done such a thing.
But if you run this video enough and it gets
played all over the place, people are going to start
to look at him like he's a dangerous, weird, creepy guy.
So it's just creating this fake illusion that there's some
kind of illegal orders. There's no hint of it. Ever,
(07:23):
nothing like that has happened. Cash battel FBI director, a
lot of flack on him. Now, a lot of this
is just made up. Some of this there might be
some validity to another president's taking a keeping an eye
on cash Patel, just this management dis executive abilities within
the FBI. People say it's a little rudderless. He's good
(07:45):
on some things, other things he's a little sloppy. There's
people upset with you know, he's using private jets to
go on vacation and there's you know, playing golf too much,
using a lot of security security on his girlfriend, FBI guarding.
This is all a taxpayer expense. But there is some
evidence that there were death threats and the death threats
(08:08):
went to his girlfriend as well, so that would justify that.
The other controversy, Oh this is another one they're going
to try. The president got his yearly physical and they
took an MRI. Now they're demanding to see the MRI.
President Trump was asked about it. They thought they had him.
(08:29):
They're going to confront him. Will you release that MRI?
And he said yeah, okay, oh yeah, I'll release it. Yeah,
why not, which kind of stunned them. It's not unusual,
especially when you get older, if they think they see something,
you know, sometimes it's just a spot on a cat
scan or a actually got a little spot, not sure
what it is, so just for just to be safety,
(08:50):
oll MRI because that's more detailed. It's usually something like that.
There's no evidence that anything serious happened in the MRI.
You see. Oh they're fighting to see this. They must
see this. As if Jake Tapper will know how to
read an MRI, well, we'll get a doctor to Yeah,
you'll get one of their fake CNN doctors. In fact,
(09:12):
who's this Vin Gupta. They've been using him a lot MSNBC.
He's been all over television. Check out my Twitter you'll
see some very funny video where he's saying, as a doctor,
I'm looking at the President Trump and he looks he
clearly has cognitive decline. I can see he's not functioning properly,
doesn't look good. So we got that video and then
it's cut together with a year ago where he's saying,
(09:32):
Joe Biden looks fine as a doctor. I can see
he's vigorous, he looks as sharp and as so you
can't trust these MSNBC, CNN doctor types, these fake news doctors.
The National Guard shooting course a horrific story over the
holiday weekend. The guy was a he had worked with
the CIA, he was a professional assassin in Afghanistan. It's
(09:56):
believed that he was radicalized, that he's t to terrorism
of some kind, and that this was not just a
guy when crazy and started firing. This was some kind
of a deliberate terrorist attack plan to screw up everybody
for the Thanksgiving holiday. It happened the night before. They've
got the suspect. He was shot. They shot back and
(10:20):
hit him. He's not dead and looks like he'll survive,
and that'll be a hell of a trial. So we'll
get into that in more detail coming up. Frightening thing
over the last a few did frightening Andrew Cuomo speaking
about something Somewhere in the speech he hinted at a
return and some interpreted. What he was saying is that
(10:42):
he might be running for governor or Congress next year. Boy,
you talk about a guy with no self awareness at all,
no clue is how he's perceived by the public. The
governor's race is next year. He could run for that,
or he could run for congres. He could be a congressman,
he could be a Senator. I don't think he has
(11:03):
any chance of that. They don't like him in New
York City. When he ran for mayor, he had the
biggest advantage of any candidate ever. Nobody's ever had advantages
like this. They chased other people out of the race.
They told Adams to get out of the race. He
got out. They kept telling Curtis to get out. Curtis,
being a man of principal, did not get out. But
(11:27):
everybody everywhere was all over everything you could be watching
or seeing, telling you do not vote for Curtis, vote
for Cuomo. Everybody, including the President of the United States.
So every voter was being told by everybody on the air, online,
everywhere to vote for Cuomo. And despite that, he couldn't
win with all of that going for him, and he
(11:48):
was up against a complete left wing nut job and
he couldn't win, couldn't win at all, had nothing to
do with Curtis. You could have added every single Curtis
voter to his total and he still didn't come close.
He still would have lost by a number of points.
So that's New York City. Now upstate he's less popular.
So if he couldn't win New York City with every
(12:10):
advantage in the world, how's he gonna win upstate with
no advantages. So it's a ridiculous thing on his part. Now,
either he's just totally delusional, or it's also possible he
knows he can't win. But you put that out in
the air that you're gonna be running for governor senator,
and then all these people who you're looking at for
(12:31):
a job or for money, or you want them to
hire you as a lobbyist, a consultant or give you
a big executive job. It makes you more attractive, and think, oh,
this guy might be governor. I better hire him. We
should put this guy on the payroll. He could be
the senator. So that might be the other reason he's
doing it. A lot of people yelling and screaming that
we have to have a Republican party in New York.
(12:52):
You need a two party system. The Democratic Party is
a huge organization apparatus, a lot of infrastructure, massive amount
of workers, ground game, everything. The Republican Party is like
two guys part time in an office and nothing. There's
no Republican Party, nothing, nothing, It doesn't exist. So that
(13:13):
should be a goal actually for all the big Republican donors.
Create an actual Republican party with big, big, big personnel, infrastructure,
with a lot of clout. There's no Republican actual Republican parties,
a tiny little thing. Then you got these Republican clubs
that do absolutely nothing to help anybody. They just hold dinners,
(13:35):
try to get somebody from Fox to come be the speaker,
chase them around the room and take selfies with them.
It's usually just a bunch of old ladies. That's all
they do. It doesn't help any candidate anywhere in any election.
So creating a Republican party very very important. Here. Coming up,
we'll get to Dick Van Dyke. How do you live
(13:55):
to be one hundred? He had some great lessons. Oh, welso, no,
it's happening. We'll probably get an announcement later. There's you know,
casinos in New York. There's three bids left for city
casinos in New York City and the gaming whatever they
are gaming facility location board, which why are we trusting
(14:19):
these five people to make the decision anyway, they're going
to make the decision. Now, there's three left, three locations left,
and this board could happen in the next hour or two.
We'll make the decision.
Speaker 5 (14:32):
Now.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
They could decide to have all three have the casinos.
They could pick one or two, or they could decide no,
none of them, and then if they don't get through
this hearing, that's pretty much the end of it. One
of the casinos, Steve Cohen big a casino with it's
not just a casino, you want to think a hotel,
a concert venue, everything. It would be right a clo
across from from City Field, and then the other one
(14:56):
would be in the Bronx. That's the one I would
go with because it's a you know, when you go
over the throgs Neck, there's a golf course there that
was the Trump golf Course, and because of Trump's arrangement syndrome,
they may take the name off it and now it's valleys.
You could put one there because it might help the Bronx,
But I don't know how does it help really? It
(15:19):
brings in a lot of people over there over the
throgs Neck, But if you go right over the throgs Neck,
that whole area there seems to be pretty much a
big residential neighborhood. Why would they want a casino in there?
Then the other bit is aqueduct racetrack in Queen's they've
got slot machines. This would be to go full casino everything,
you know, tables and showrooms. But again, do we really
(15:45):
need that? Who needs that? You know? The silliest one
was Times Square. Go to Times Square tonight at midnight.
It's packed, you can't move, it's mob there's lights and
stores and everything and a million people. I mean, nobody
would stand there and crowd. It would take you an
hour to fight your way through the crowd. Nobody would
stand and go, huh, you know what this needs? A casino.
(16:07):
Usually put the casino where it's empty and dead and
you're trying to bring it back. You don't usually put
it in a place where it's two crowded to begin with,
and it's going twenty four hours a day non stup. Anyway,
we've got a lot to get to. We'll get to
Mom Donnie, We'll get to Luigi Mangion, We'll get to
Black Friday. It looks like it was the best one
ever on record. So you know, when you see these
(16:27):
surveys of people the consumer confidence wait wait, waitit way down.
Don't go by what people sometimes get conned to say
things in a pull. The fact is they spent more
money this Black Friday than ever, so that tells you
more than the opinions do. We'll take some calls in
a minute. Eight hundred three to two one zero seven
(16:47):
ten is the number. Eight hundred three to two one
zero seven ten.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Give woor oh, Bri said on the iHeartRadio app to
hear Mark Simone and all the WR hosts in and
in hell back to the Mark Simo show on wor.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Hey, Let's take some calls. Eight hundred three two one
zero seven ten is the number. Let's go to Joe
in New York City. Joe, how you doing.
Speaker 6 (17:17):
New York City mayor election? Mark? Mark the next one.
We need help from Brooklyn Vincent to go get rid
of that communist moment. Danny Riowami, I mean we need
elder statesman spokes with Vincent.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
Well, actually, you know, you bring up, believe it or not,
in all that mess there. You just said there was
a point in there somewhere. We got to go back
to getting like real serious people to run for office.
You know, it used to be serious types. You know,
Rudy Giuliani with a ton of experience, an incredible resume,
or even you know David Dinkins. You might say, well,
(17:51):
I wasn't a great mayor, but you know, a couple
of decades in public service and a very well spoken, articulate,
reasonable sort of a man. George Patakia, people like that.
Now look at the people you got running for office.
Mam Donnie's twelve years old, he became a citizen a
couple of months ago, never had a job. You got
people even worse, believe it or not. You know, Mam Donnie.
(18:14):
When he leaves the Assembly, somebody's got to run for
a seat. You should see the three candidates that were running.
They're crazier than Ma'm donnie. They're more left, more ridiculous
than so. I don't know. Well, we'll get into this later.
What happened to the Democratic Party and why this is happening.
Let's go to Mike and Florida. Mike, how you doing,
(18:34):
good morning, Mark, Yes, Mike.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
I hope you had a good Thanksgiving break.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
Yeah. You know, the people say, boy, you should never retire.
If you had nothing to do all day, it's awful.
You know what, it was great, It was phenomenal. You
enjoyed having nothing to do. But go ahead, it's nice.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
It's nice doing nothing all day. But I was going
to point out that the Democrats have two things that
they're very cunning about. One is they'll put a topic
out there, such as the illegal bombing of the speedboat
drug dealers. They're not fisherman the speedboats.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
And then Republicans take debate and they go, wow, we'll
hold you know, we'll hold an investigation and we'll see.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
Well, it's not Republicans taking the bait. Even in the
Republican Congress, you got a lot of them that hate
Donald Trump. They're looking for trouble. So it's like this
Andy McCarthy, great guy, Andy McCarthy, brilliant guy, but he
hates Trump. He hates Trump. So whenever they write an
opportunity to pounce, Andy McCarthy takes it otherwise, And the.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Other the other thing they do is they have their
little group of guys. So now this, you know, the
flavor of the monk is Mark Kelly. You know when
it's you know, it used to be Adam Schiff for
Jamie Raskin or Maxine Waters, and they put him out
there and they're just very devoutly stick to the script.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
Yeah, well that's a good point, Mike Yea, thanks for
calling the thing with Mark Kelly. The way he looks,
he looks like a very serious, older, you know guy,
like an old pompous or not pompous, but a very
somber old guy, you know, traditional old sort of a guy.
And then you're like, oh, he's an astronaut, he was
in the military. That seems like a very old fashioned
(20:08):
sort of a So he was talking about running for president,
got nowhere. So now it's all different with him because
you see him all over television acting like a left
wing cook, like a flame throwing hate the president, left wing,
spewing hatred. Now that Democrats like him, Aha, this guy's great.
You know when he looked traditional, reasonable, no interest. Now
(20:28):
that he's like spewing nonsense and fishes hate. Now they
love the guy. Let's go to Jerry in Greenwich, Connecticut. Jerry,
how you doing.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I'm doing well, Mark, thank you for taking my call.
I'm not joking. I'm eighty six years old, and I
would like to know if there is a college, a
special college for all these democrats to go and graduate
for lying to the American people. If there's a special college,
because haven't never heard so many people like.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Oh, you mean a special college to teach craziness lying
left wing? Yes there is. It's called Yale, it's called Harvard,
it's called Columbia, it's called it's every Mayor Ivy League college.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
I knew there was some college that they go to
learn to lie. Anyway, thank you, have a good day.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
All right, thanks for calling. Yeah. You know, the problem is,
see the left wing, the crazy George Soros left, they're
like the communist Chinese. They plot like one hundred years out.
Speaker 6 (21:26):
You know.
Speaker 1 (21:26):
Republicans are all busy going to work every day. They
plot like two days out. You know, these democrats they
plot look for decades. So the plot years ago was
to infiltrate the colleges, get rid of the professor, put
in left wing professors, real left wing professors. Then left
wing people on the board, to trustees, presidents all that.
(21:46):
So they became these left wing communists and Doctrine Nation centers.
You send and you have so many people afraid to
send the kid to college. You know, used to your
kid got accepted at Harvard. You like cry, You're so happy.
Now you cry because you're scared he's going to come
back up a total communist. There's a lot of these
stories about a guy who fled Cuba on a life
(22:08):
round a raft and got to Miami. Somehow. He's trying
to escape communism, socialism. He came to America, people like
Jerry worked hard, became very very successful. Now they're able
to send their kid to Harvard. And this guy sends
his kid to Harvard. He comes back at communist. Guess
but his whole life trying to escape communism. His son
comes back at communists. But we'll get more into this.
(22:29):
What happened to the Democratic Party? How did it go
so far to the kooky left? A little later, Hey,
Michael Goodwin not with us today on vacation. It's Thanksgiving.
But we'll talk to the brilliant columnist Liz Peak next
on seven to ten War, where.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
Your comes for common sense Mark Simone on sevent ten.
Speaker 1 (22:51):
Wor well Liz Peak the brilliant columnists. Course, you see
her all over television, and make sure you go to
her website where you get the best news and analysis.
It's lizpeak dot com and you can sign up. They'll
email you every day with all the latest great news, analysis,
all sorts of interesting stuff. Lizpeak dot com. Liz Peak,
(23:12):
How you doing?
Speaker 8 (23:14):
I am terrific. I'm recovering from Thanksgiving? How about you?
Speaker 1 (23:18):
I'm so glad it's over because I don't want one
more person? What do you do on Thanksgiving? Everybody has
the same stupid story. You know. I went to my sister,
We went to my uncle's, we went to my daughter.
It's all the same. It's like saying, what do you have?
Speaker 8 (23:32):
Yeah, what did you have for Thanksgiving dinner?
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Turkey?
Speaker 1 (23:36):
So Hey, New York where you're talking about this? Apparently
you cannot get a hotel room in New York City
in the coming weeks. Real estate agents said they got
tons of clients. So I guess people aren't afraid of mom.
Donnie should should? We just figure things will be like Deblasio,
We'll get through it.
Speaker 8 (23:52):
Well, that's a good question.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
People are downplaying the radical team he is assembling. I
mean it is radical, Mark, you got to say. I
mean he's got someone newly appointed person to watch to
head up the transportation Department, who I guess is anti
car so that's a useful kind of credential for figuring
(24:17):
out how to improve our traffic. He's got an education
head who is viciously anti Charter, so that's not very wonderful.
I mean, if you just kind of look at all
the various things he's done, other than keeping Jessica Tish
the police commissioner in place, I'd say pretty much everything
he's done is right out of the most left wing
(24:39):
handbook you could possibly write, and not very encouraging. Are
people basically looking past it? I don't think they know
what to expect, Mark, I mean, we had a horrible mayor,
build a Blasio for eight years, despised by everybody I
know and that you know, who had horrible policies, wrecked
(24:59):
a prosperous, safe city, and he really did. I mean
he came in after twelve years, twelve years of Mike Bloomberg, who,
whether you love Mike Bloomberg or not, he promoted a
safe city, prosperous city, attracted new industries to our town,
et cetera. And Bill Deblasio basically set out to undermine
all of that, which was just an astonishing decision. So,
(25:24):
you know, I think they're sort of thinking, well, if
we could survive de Blasio, we could survive this guy.
But you know, I think this guy's worse. I mean,
Deblasio was so kind of all over the place. Yes,
ideologically left wing, but really really lazy and inefficient and incompetent.
This guy, who knows maybe turns out to be more competent,
(25:44):
and that'd be really a disaster for us.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Although everything we've just said is identical to de Blasio.
He had a transportation guy, he hated cars, had a
yeah it was anti charter, and he brought in a
top police commissioner, butody respected Bill Braddon. So most of
these people with Mam Donnie are ex Deblasio administration people.
Speaker 8 (26:03):
But that's true, that is true.
Speaker 5 (26:06):
I mean, really, other than Harvard hiring Deblasio to teach
courses there, which really just makes your head explode when
you realize that he was truly one of the worst
mayor for the city history.
Speaker 8 (26:20):
It's hard to find.
Speaker 5 (26:22):
Anyone who could really imagine that hiring the people left
over from his dreadful and by the way, somewhat corrupt
regime would be people.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
You want to hire.
Speaker 5 (26:33):
But there you are. And it's not just Deblasio people.
I mean also, Mam Donnie's hiring this has hired this person.
Lena Khan Nina Khan is someone who has made a
reputation as being basically a anti big business. She was
part of the Biden administration and worked very hard to
(26:54):
undermine any kind of mergers and combinations that would work
for business, arguing that anything big was bad. So you know,
that's not a great sign, right in terms of his
interest in fomenting successful businesses in New York. I don't
think there's much you can sort of hang on to
here in the way of good news. But you know,
(27:14):
we all we always look forward to something getting better,
and I hope it does. I hope the cold water
of reality washes over this guy and his group and
they realize that they actually have to promote progress here
and not just ideology.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Yeah, hey, you were talking of this before the big
beautiful bill had the biggest tax cuts ever. But people say, well,
I don't feel it whereas it well, it doesn't kick
in until January, so once you get past the new year,
these tax cuts and other things kick in. So it
could be a very very good year for the Trump administration,
couldn't it.
Speaker 8 (27:50):
I think it will be, certainly.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Kevin Hasseid, who's head of the Council of Economic Advisors,
Scott Besson, the Treasury Secretary of all but they both
talked about being a gangbuster twenty twenty six. And yes,
some of it is because of not only pro business
tax deductions and write offs and so forth that will
encourage investment by businesses, but also for people. I mean,
(28:13):
you're getting a bigger standard deduction, you're getting no taxes
on tips at a certain level.
Speaker 8 (28:20):
You know, there's a lot of good news to come
out of this tax bill.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
It is really amazing to me Mark how bad bad
Republicans are at promoting policies that have been in place,
like the big beautiful bill, when it was last time
you ever heard of Republican in Congress actually extolling the
benefits of this. They're in a defensive crouch because Democrats
have been hammering away on how it's only a handout
(28:46):
for the rich.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
Mind you, any tax cuts are a handout.
Speaker 5 (28:50):
To people who pay taxes, and yes, that's probably not
the bottom forty percent of the country who pay no taxes.
Speaker 8 (28:57):
So this is a bill that will help.
Speaker 5 (29:00):
I also think the twenty twenty six we're going to
actually see the incoming money from companies and countries that
a vowed to spend a lot of money and new
investments in the United States.
Speaker 8 (29:14):
This is not a fiction.
Speaker 5 (29:17):
Democrats totally dismissed this, but you've had many pharmaceutical companies
saying they're going to build new facilities in America. Many
countries are coming here to build data centers and other operations.
Speaker 8 (29:29):
Factories are expanding.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
If you look on the website, the White House website
has a list of it, and it is hundreds of
billions of dollars. It's really impressive. Now are we seeing
it right now? We are seeing I think I did
a search recently of new factories that are shovel.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
In the ground. There are maybe twenty of them underway now.
Speaker 6 (29:51):
Mark.
Speaker 5 (29:52):
That's going to accelerate next year and you're going to
see the benefits of that in terms of hiring, construction, hiring. Eventually,
fact vere hiring and also production here in the United States.
Will it all be as labor intensive as factories in
the past. No, We're going to have more AI, more robotics,
but better here producing value added than overseas. And I
(30:16):
think I think, you know, coming into the midterms, Republicans
are going to need to have a good economic story.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
I think there's a very good chance they will have.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Yeah. You know, years ago, we decided to outsource all
our manufacturing, and people argued, it's a nightmare as far
as defense. You know, we can't have all our weapons,
our medicines, everything made over. It's got all kinds of
But I don't think we ever realized in the end,
as much as it might save money on manufacturing, it
would economically damage the country. So thank god for Donald Trump,
(30:46):
right bringing it back.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Yeah, and you know, Joe Biden talked about on shoring,
bringing stuff back to the United States, but really didn't
do anything to promote that, because what do you need
to do. You need to lower taxes, what did Biden do?
He raise taxes? You need to reduce regulations. What did
Biden do?
Speaker 8 (31:04):
He increase regulation? So, yes, the Trump story is a
very good story. A lot of country.
Speaker 5 (31:11):
Companies in Europe and Asia are looking at the United
States and saying, hey, here's a pro business administration. If
we can come in there and take advantage of again
copious energy, low taxes, and regulation.
Speaker 8 (31:27):
We want to be there. You know, talk to any
business manager in Europe.
Speaker 5 (31:32):
Operating in Europe is a disaster, and you know, more
and more the head of the EU is talking about
how they have to get in line with the kinds
of policies that we're adopting, because otherwise they are dead.
They are just basically dead in the water. They're not growing.
The United States is growing, and that is the difference
between poverty and productivity and profitability. And Americans really can
(31:57):
look forward to that.
Speaker 8 (31:58):
These aren't just talking. This is actually how the world works.
Speaker 5 (32:01):
And if you look, there's been a fifteen year period
up through twenty twenty three where I think the United
States grew eighty seven percent and Europe grew about ten percent.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
That is literally true, and boyd the difference in terms.
Speaker 5 (32:13):
Of people's income, people quality of life is vast, and
Americans really kind of need to take stock of that
and count their blessings and say, yeah, you know, we
want to grow. We want to add jobs for people,
We want to add wealth to people. That's what makes
our country special. So I think, yeah, I think this
(32:34):
is all going to work.
Speaker 8 (32:35):
It's just right now.
Speaker 5 (32:37):
You know, you have a lot of obstructionist judges slowing
up the works in terms of getting rid of regulation,
and you know, not all the states are on board
to this. But I think honestly, the long term picture
here is still very very clear and very positive.
Speaker 1 (32:53):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
