Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, this is the Mark Simon Shell on sevent tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hey, well, thank god it Friday. Oh my god, glad
they get this week over with. We got a lot
to get to. We'll get to a crazy mom Donnie,
and what's he going to do with the police department.
We've got some intel on that. We'll get to that
coming up. We'll get to at least Stephonic running for governor.
There should be the end of Kathy Hoko. We'll get
(00:32):
to MSNBC. They're in their final week now of being MSNBC,
and a lot more to get to the shutdown. There
might be some kind of vote today, not necessarily to
end the shutdown, but to begin towards the end of
the Who knows what these people are going to do.
The shutdown continues today's day. They do that ten cut
(00:54):
in flights at a lot of airports. Now, it sounds bad,
and it is bad, but it's not as bad as
you think because we did this before. Remember they were
having problems with Newark Airport and the controllers, traffic controllers,
and it was all messed up, and they decided to
cut the flights ten percent for a while. So we
went through this already at Newark. They'll do this at
(01:15):
a number of airports, and what they cut are the
emptiest flights they can find. They are not a lot
of empty flights nowadays, but some less populated than others.
They'll cut those and combine them. So if you're traveling,
you'll see some delays. You'll also see.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Some really crowded, cramped planes, fewer flights and more people
on each plane shutdown. The problem is the polling is
all over the map. Some show that the Republicans are
getting the blame, some show Democrats are getting the blame.
One of the problems it's hard to poll because President
(01:52):
Trump the idea when he did the shutdown was to
make it as the least painful that he could make it.
Don't cut anything they don't have to cut down. And
you know when Obama did the shutdown, he was the opposite.
He tried to make it as painful as possible. They
wanted to make the Republicans look bad, so they closed
down a lot more than they had to close down.
They closed down everything, and they deliberately tried to make
(02:15):
it very painful for the public. They closed down things
that you didn't even need to close it either, were
World War Two monuments that don't require any staffing of
any kind, but they still close those down, that put
that yellow barricade tape all over it, just to make
it look as ugly as they could. The president doing
the opposite. Here. Hey Elis Stefanic has announced she is
(02:36):
running for governor. This was not unexpected. Here she is.
Speaker 4 (02:42):
It is clear we need a new generation leader to
step up and bring common sense and deliver results the
issues that I hear from not just in my district,
but all across the state. People are struggling with high
taxes in New York State. It's an affordability crisis. If
you look at utility rates, insurance rates, it is running
families and small businesses out of this.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Okay, see now it's an interesting situation. You just had
a guy win the mayoralty, a Democrat, and he ran
on affordability and that sort of stuff, which is odd
because it's the Democrats that caused it. The Democrats have
run every inch in New York for the last fifteen years.
Democrats at mayors, governors, legislature, city council. The whole thing's
(03:25):
been run by Democrats. So if it's an affordability crisis
and this crisis, and in that crisis, it's all the
Democrats fault. It would make sense to switch parties if
that party just gave you all these problems, switch parties
so it'll be easier for Stephonic to campaign on that.
Hochel can try campaigning on affordability. But she's been in
charge for eight years, and before that, Cuomo for years,
(03:49):
and it's her legislature, all Democrats, So it's going to
be tough, very to Here's the Stephanic's first campaign commercial.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
From the ashes of Kathy Hockel's failed Policy's New York
real Wise, like we always do, the spirit of the
empire state cannot be broken. All we need is a
courageous leader ready for the fight. A least Dephonic will
make New York affordable and safe.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
Now Stephanic an upstate congresswoman, and you remember in those
hearings where Hokel had to testify in the congressional hearings,
it was Stephonic that really went after her on crime,
on everything else. I want to make sure you understand
that this simply says that we will cooperate with Ice.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
No, it does not say that. I read what it says,
and let me talk to you about the results. Do
you know who secure a kan is? You should as
the governor of New York State? Do you know refresh
my recollection? He was an illegal migrant in New York
and do you know what crime he committed in addition
to being here legally?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
No, I do not, you do not.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
This was widely reported. He found a fifteen year old girl,
threatened her with a metal pull, told her to get
into the ac seat of his car. He took her
clothes off, and he violently raped her in Albany, New York.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Yeah. Now, Hokel had a really rough time testifying in
front of Stefanic. I'm sure this will be used in commercials.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
These are horrific crimes.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
In their heart, they're horrific crimes that are committed on
your watch. You sign this executive order on your first
day in office. You sign it again and again this January.
We deserve a governor who stands up for law abiding
New Yorkers, doesn't put illegals first, but actually puts New
Yorkers first. I appreciate.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Rather than after the viral moment, I suggest.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
You no, no, no, I'm standing up for New Yorkers zone.
Rather than addressing the illegals in New York, you are
prioritizing your far left sanctuary state policies which you put
in place with executive orders.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
So based on this kind of stuff, it would be
pretty easy I think for Stefanic to beat Hochel in
any debate. Now is the only complication for Stephanic. Bruce Blakeman,
I'm hearing wants to run for governor. Bruce Blakeman is
the best county executive in America, done a phenomenal job
in Nassau County, just got re elected. Governor's race would
(06:04):
be next year would be you know, Nassau County will
not be happy to lose Blakeman, but it's worth it
if he can be the governor because then he can
fix the whole state. So at least Stephonic would have
to go through a primary battling Bruce Blakeman. That won't
be easy. I mean, you know, I'd have to go
with Blakeman on that. You know, like Stephonic, but Blakeman's
(06:26):
the best, and in aal not national, but a big
statewide race for governor, New York City is half the
votes in a governor's race. New York City is half
the votes. Now, if you study the history of this,
you got to win at least thirty five percent of
New York City as a Republican to get elected governor,
you got to win thirty five percent of New York City.
(06:48):
It's not easy to do as a Republican. But in
the primary, that's a little different. So it would be
Blakeman against Stephonic in the primary, and who knows, who
knows who else the other people will jump in there.
He know, maybe Andrew Giuliani will try it again. Maybe
who knows, Maybe Lee Zelden Board in Washington may come
(07:08):
try it again. But Blakeman Stephonic. It's a great situation
to have a couple of great candidates. So we'll see
who gets through that primary. Mom, Donnie, Now, the big,
big nightmare is the police department. That's the problem. He's
already named five people on his transition team. They're all
(07:28):
ex to Blasio, people to Blasio administration, one's from the
Adams administration. But the most important thing is keep people safe.
If you got safe streets, you got everything. So will
Jessica Tish stay as police commissioners? She hadn't said anything yet.
Now this could get interesting. We'd want her to stay.
(07:49):
She's done a good job. She might not stay just
simply because she doesn't want to work with Mom Donnie,
or she doesn't like some of his policies. And if she,
you know, she'll want to run against him in four years,
so she may not want to stay if she leaves.
Who's the police commissioner. This is the big fear with
Mom Donnie. Everybody thinks he's going to put Al Sharpton
in charge of the police department or something like that,
(08:12):
some crazy left wing sort of a character. This is
the big, big worry. But this is not bad news.
Apparently this is from the inside of the Mam Donnie world.
If he has to pick up police commissioner right now,
highest on his list is the Suffolk County Police Commissioner,
Rodney Harrison, and he's not a bad guy. Rodney Harrison,
(08:36):
Suffolk County Police Commissioner. He's been there for a couple
of years. He ran the he actually ran the department
and left at the end of Steve Balloone's term as
county executive. But he's the guy that he formed the
task force that finally got the Gilgo Beach serial killer.
He was with the NYPD. He retired in twenty twenty
(08:56):
one as chief of department. That's the highest uniform position,
and so everybody thinks he's a good guy police. Former
police Commissioner of Suffolk Rodney KA Harrison looks like that
right now would be Mom Donnie's choice. And if Jessica
Tish will stay, it looks like they'll make Harrison the
deputy mayor in charge of public safety, so he'd be
(09:18):
overseeing her and I don't know what their relationship is
or she'd want to work under him, But we'll see, Tish.
I think we'll wait and see who's appointed, who's going
to be what before she decides anything. Now, for the
last thirty years, new mayors have always ended up bringing
in their own police commissioner. It's just tradition, you know.
(09:42):
When Rudy Giuliani took over, Ray Kelly was the police
commissioner out. He's the greatest police commissioner ever ever. And
I remember talking to Rudy Juliana at the time. He
knew that. He just said, I can't keep you know,
a previous guy. I have to have my own commissioner.
They're some just think they got to have their own
person in there. So it's highly unusual to keep a
(10:03):
police commissioner. We'll see if this is the one time
where it actually actually happens. Now, you keep hearing everybody's
gonna leave. People are all going to run away from
New York. They always say they said that when Deblasio
so off. Some people did, but not as many as
your thought. It's not as bad as you think. George
Santos has announced he's leaving New York's. George Santos leaving
(10:27):
New York. He lives in Queen's actually, so he said
he can't stay here under mom Donnie. But I don't
think that's a great loss that George Santos is leaving. Now,
you could say, well, why don't he just move to
Nassau County, Bruce Blakeman, you can trust him. Well, that's
where Santos had all his trouble in Nassau County. I
don't think he wants to go back there. Hey, congratulations
(10:49):
Elon Musk, who was the richest man in the world.
That's quite an honor, quite a headline. To be the
single richest man on earth. That's an incredible, unbelievable accomplishment. Well,
now another accomplishment. He's now the highest paid guy in
the history of the world. Biggest compensation package ever in
the history of the world. Tesla the board of directors
(11:12):
approved his new pay package, which is the new pay
package is one trillion dollars with a T one trillion dollars.
It's unbelievable. But apparently he threatened to leave the company
if he didn't get it, and the Tesla board was
scared as can be. They don't think the company can
(11:34):
exist without Musk. Now, to get the trillion, he'll have
to hit a series of performance marks. He's fifty four
years old. He uh oh, hey, he's still the richest guy.
He's the richest guy in the world. Four hundred and
ninety billion. Four hundred and ninety billion. I think about that.
(11:55):
If you had four billion, you'd be unbelievably rich. But
four hundred and ninety billion. Let's say there was a
hole in your pocket and you didn't know it, and
ninety billion fell out of your pocket and you lost it.
You're still worth four hundred billion. It wouldn't really matter.
I don't even know why you even work. This is
like five hundred billion. If you put that, if you
(12:18):
just invested it, you'd have five billion a year in income.
Five billion a year in income. You couldn't spend that
if you tried. But guys like this love to work.
He'll be awarded all kinds of stock in twelve tranches
first round. If it hits, there's all kinds of targets
(12:38):
you have to have to sell. He has to deliver
twenty million vehicles, Tesla hats, has to hit two trillion
in valuation. He has to deliver one million of the
Optimus human eyed robots. Yeah, that's next. The robots are coming.
If they get all the hurdles, Tesla stock would explode
(12:58):
and be worth eight point five five trillion, with must
getting a quarter. That's so, that's how they'll end up
with a trillion dollars in income. And let's say it
doesn't work out well and they only hit two benchmarks,
then he'll earn twenty six billion from that. This is unbelievable.
You know, he'll be earning more money than Mark Zuckerberg,
(13:18):
Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang in the video combined. Combined,
seventy five percent of shareholders voted in favor of the proposal.
That just terrified of losing him. They don't think anybody
else could run the company like that. Unbelievable. Hey, Dave Portnoy,
here's another one. Portnoy says he's gonna pull Barstool from
(13:40):
New York City. Their headquarters is here. He's threatening, he says,
I hate the guy. He's threatening to pull out and
move Barstool. Portnoy just bought a thirty million dollar house
in Miami, so I imagine that's where he'd move it.
You know, people go, you know, the on their phone.
That's how they or on the computer that you read
(14:01):
the newspaper on the computer, You read your websites, you
read your book on a kindle, you do all that.
That's all changing slowly. People don't want to read anymore.
It's incredible how lazy people are getting. And wait till
AI takes over, you're going to see laziness like you've
never seen. So a lot of people don't want to
read a book on a kindle. They want talking books.
They don't have to hold it, look at it, move
(14:23):
their eyes. They don't want to have to do that.
They want to just have a talking book. Well, it's
affecting everything else. Newspapers are starting to realize they've got
to start talking. It can't just be print. The New
York Times has been working very hard on what they
call the post text era, so they're quickly moving to
(14:44):
platforms where everybody's talk and all the writers doing audio
and video. So when you go to the New York Times,
you don't have to tire yourself out reading. You can
just listen and watch. So all their big writers columns
are turning into talking heads. But this is the big
thing audio video. At some point, if you've got no
time machine and went to five years from now, there
(15:06):
might not be any print of any kind anymore. Everything
is just talking and video. Hey, oh, you will be
with us later this hour, Clay Travis. Clay Travis will
be here in a few minutes. We'll talk to Clay Travis.
He's got a new book out. And then well, a
lot more to get to and we'll take some calls next.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
(15:29):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
Yeah, this is the Mark Simon Shell on sevent tenor.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Hey, well, thank god it Friday. Oh my god, glad
they get this week over with. We got a lot
to get to. We'll get to a crazy mom Donnie,
and what's he going to do with the police department.
We've got some intel on that. We'll get to that
coming up. We'll get to at least Stephonic running for governor.

Speaker 2 (05:10):
These are horrific crimes.

In their heart, they're horrific crimes that are committed on

exist without Musk. Now, to get the trillion, he'll have
to hit a series of performance marks. He's fifty four
years old. He uh oh, hey, he's still the richest guy.
He's the richest guy in the world. Four hundred and
ninety billion. Four hundred and ninety billion. I think about that.
(11:55):
If you had four billion, you'd be unbelievably rich. But
four hundred and ninety billion. Let's say there was a
hole in your pocket and you didn't know it, and
ninety billion fell out of your pocket and you lost it.
You're still worth four hundred billion. It wouldn't really matter.
I don't even know why you even work. This is
like five hundred billion. If you put that, if you
(12:18):
just invested it, you'd have five billion a year in income.
Five billion a year in income. You couldn't spend that
if you tried. But guys like this love to work.
He'll be awarded all kinds of stock in twelve tranches
first round. If it hits, there's all kinds of targets
(12:38):
you have to have to sell. He has to deliver
twenty million vehicles, Tesla hats, has to hit two trillion
in valuation. He has to deliver one million of the
Optimus human eyed robots. Yeah, that's next. The robots are coming.
If they get all the hurdles, Tesla stock would explode
(12:58):
and be worth eight point five five trillion, with must
getting a quarter. That's so, that's how they'll end up
with a trillion dollars in income. And let's say it
doesn't work out well and they only hit two benchmarks,
then he'll earn twenty six billion from that. This is unbelievable.
You know, he'll be earning more money than Mark Zuckerberg,
(13:18):
Tim Cook, and Jensen Huang in the video combined. Combined,
seventy five percent of shareholders voted in favor of the proposal.
That just terrified of losing him. They don't think anybody
else could run the company like that. Unbelievable. Hey, Dave Portnoy,
here's another one. Portnoy says he's gonna pull Barstool from
(13:40):
New York City. Their headquarters is here. He's threatening, he says,
I hate the guy. He's threatening to pull out and
move Barstool. Portnoy just bought a thirty million dollar house
in Miami, so I imagine that's where he'd move it.
You know, people go, you know, the on their phone.
That's how they or on the computer that you read
(14:01):
the newspaper on the computer, You read your websites, you
read your book on a kindle, you do all that.
That's all changing slowly. People don't want to read anymore.
It's incredible how lazy people are getting. And wait till
AI takes over, you're going to see laziness like you've
never seen. So a lot of people don't want to
read a book on a kindle. They want talking books.
They don't have to hold it, look at it, move
(14:23):
their eyes. They don't want to have to do that.
They want to just have a talking book. Well, it's
affecting everything else. Newspapers are starting to realize they've got
to start talking. It can't just be print. The New
York Times has been working very hard on what they
call the post text era, so they're quickly moving to
(14:44):
platforms where everybody's talk and all the writers doing audio
and video. So when you go to the New York Times,
you don't have to tire yourself out reading. You can
just listen and watch. So all their big writers columns
are turning into talking heads. But this is the big
thing audio video. At some point, if you've got no
time machine and went to five years from now, there
(15:06):
might not be any print of any kind anymore. Everything
is just talking and video. Hey, oh, you will be
with us later this hour, Clay Travis. Clay Travis will
be here in a few minutes. We'll talk to Clay Travis.
He's got a new book out. And then well, a
lot more to get to and we'll take some calls next.
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten is the number.
(15:29):
Eight hundred three two one zero seven ten
