1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Here's more of the Mark Simoon Show on wor.

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,159
Speaker 2: Well, hey, we'll get to Bruce Springsteen. Where do you

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: hear this new masterpiece. We'll get to Jimmy Failey. He'll

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: be with us a little later this hour. So, Mom, Donnie,

5
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 2: you know, he's like twelve years old, never had a

6
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: job before he gets elected mayor and it's his first week.

7
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 2: He gets a major snowstorm and he gets a budget

8
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: crisis where we're gonna have a gap of like twelve

9
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: billion that has to be made up. Here's a guy

10
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: who never had a job, you know, no financial experience

11
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: of any kind. Now he's got to do all kinds

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 2: of emergency things to fill this budget cap. Now a

13
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 2: businessman looking at this would say, well, obviously you're overspending.

14
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,559
Speaker 2: You're a city. He won city and he got a

15
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 2: budget of one hundred and twenty billion. That's more than

16
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: the budget of most states. So you got to make cuts.

17
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 2: You got to cut. But you know, he doesn't know that.

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: He thinks yes to increased taxes. Now he's blaming it

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 2: on everybody else. He's blaming it on Adams.

20
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 3: In twenty twenty five, under the banner of what he

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 3: called the best budget ever. Former Mayor Eric Adams handed

22
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: the next administration a poisoned chalice. He's systematically under budgeted

23
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,959
Speaker 3: services that New Yorkers rely on every single day, rental assistance, shelter,

24
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 3: and special education, while quietly leaving behind enormous gaps for

25
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 3: the future and knowing his time in office was likely

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: coming to an end. Mayor Adams chose political self preservation

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 3: over fiscal responsibility.

28
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 2: Okay, he's not wrong. Then now you cannot blame mom

29
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 2: Donnie for this budget crisis. I just took over five

30
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: minutes ago, so it's not his fault. Adams was the

31
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 2: mayor for the last four years, so he left him

32
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 2: with this. He's also blaming Andrew Cuomo, which is good.

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: You should blame Andrew Cuomo for everything all the time.

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 2: But he'd explained it if you want to save primarily

35
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute, Oh we lost it. I lost

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 2: the cut. Sorry, But he basically explains Cuomo signing in

37
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: all these woke, nonsense, crazy programs cost us money, and

38
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: then he used city money that was supposed to go

39
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: to the city. He diverted it to pay for whatever

40
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: crazy left wing stuff he wanted to pay for. Left

41
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 2: us with a big gap, so he got a deficit.

42
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 4: The prior mayoral administration has left us with a twelve

43
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 4: billion dollars fiscal deficit. And this is at a scale

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 4: that's actually greater than what we saw here in New

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 4: York City during the Great Recession. And it's something that

46
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 4: is attributable to gross fiscal mismanagement, to a refusal to

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: actually budget honestly and be direct with New Yorkers.

48
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 2: Now, it's hard to believe Erica Adams would do that.

49
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 2: I mean, looks looks to me like a financial genius.

50
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 2: You can't. But donn You got Adams who didn't know

51
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 2: anything about anything, and now you got mom Donnie, he's

52
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: never even had a job. There's the guy trying to

53
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 2: fix it.

54
00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 4: Good luck with This is what we saw in the

55
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 4: last year from the mayoral administration was there was a

56
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 4: recognition about the scale of this crisis. But instead of

57
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 4: actually being direct with New Yorker.

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: Right now, he's giving me a headache. Well, the state,

59
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: yeah again, Cuomo and the states the problems. We don't

60
00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 2: get enough from the state.

61
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 4: We look at the relationship between the city and the state,

62
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: where New York City is the economic engine of the

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: state of the country. And yet while we contribute fifty

64
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 4: four point five percent of the state's revenue, we only

65
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 4: receive forty point five percent in return. And if we

66
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: had actually bridged that gap over the Cuomo years, we'd

67
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 4: be talking about receiving an eight billion dollars additional every

68
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: single year.

69
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: Well, he's great at explaining this. Fixing it. Now, that's

70
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 2: a different story. Anyway. Let's get to Bruce Springsteen. Now,

71
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: Bruce Springsteen, superstar. When you become a rock and roll superstar,

72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 2: I remember Born to Run, Remember that album cover with

73
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: the motorcycle and the guitar and the wristbands, and he's

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: broken down on the highway with his hungry heart and

75
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: tramps like us. You know, this young, young, young guy,

76
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,760
Speaker 2: and he's you know, in those days, when you're a

77
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: young rock and roll star, you're you know, you're out

78
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: every night, you're drinking, there's a million women, you're having fun,

79
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 2: you're at in your motorcycle. You're a happy guy. Now

80
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 2: when you become an old rock and roll star, when

81
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: you become an old, old, old senior citizen rock and

82
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: roll star, you're not doing any of that. He's sitting

83
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 2: at home every night and you, you know, when you're

84
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: a liberal, left wing old person, what do you do?

85
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: You watch MSNBC and you get yourself riled up all

86
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: night long, you get very, very angry. You watch MSNBC,

87
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 2: you watch who's that de androgenous guy with the glasses?

88
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 2: What's his name? Chris Hayes. You watch Chris Hayes and

89
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: he gets you really mad. And then Rachel Maddow comes on.

90
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: Now you can't tell because they both look alike. You

91
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: can't tell which is which. But Rachel Maddow comes on

92
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: get you even angrier. And then when she's done. You see,

93
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: if you're an old person like Bruce is, now you

94
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 2: keep watching this all night and then she goes off.

95
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: And then the other guy, Lawrence O'Donnell, comes on, and

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 2: he gets you even more outraged. And by the time

97
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 2: it's eleven thirty, you're so riled up and angry. And

98
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 2: then you put on Colbert and then he gets you

99
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 2: angry or and angry. You watch Jimmy Kimmel and by

100
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 2: the time you're fired up. So there's this a very

101
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: angry Bruce Springsteen. So he's got to do something. He's

102
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: compelled to act. He decides he'll write a song. That's

103
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 2: the other thing is when you're a young Bruce Springsteen,

104
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: it's one hit after another. It's just pouring out hits.

105
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: When you're a young Bullie Joel, hit song after hit,

106
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 2: song after hit song after hit before you know it.

107
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 2: Now you got to put out another best of album.

108
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: Here's twelve more hit singles, Best Of Volume six. Now,

109
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: when you're an old rock and roll singer, you're not

110
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: gonna have any hit songs. It's your time has gone

111
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: for that. You can go around and do massive concerts.

112
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 2: You're the elder statesman, but you're not gonna have any

113
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 2: hit singles. So but you can't explain that to these guys.

114
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: They keep trying, they keep writing these new songs. So

115
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: Bruce decides he must act and maybe in the process

116
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,039
Speaker 2: you'll come up with a major, major hit song. So

117
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 2: he's written a song about Minneapolis, about the ice, about

118
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: pretty being killed. And this is a masterpiece, maybe possibly

119
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 2: the greatest single song ever written. First of all, if

120
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: I were Bob Doing, i'd sue this guy for plagiarism.

121
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,680
Speaker 2: Right now, it's trying to sound like Bob Doing. This

122
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: is called the Streets of Minneapolis, said He's on fire,

123
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: the occupiers boots the poetry of Bruce right now. If

124
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: you're a fact checker, please don't do this song. You'll

125
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: get a headache, you'll just wear yourself out. Everything in

126
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: here is a lie. King Trump's private army. It's not

127
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 2: a private army. It's ice. That's the same ice Biden used,

128
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 2: the same ice Obama used more than Trump. In fact,

129
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 2: remember he gave home In a medal for ice and

130
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 2: enforced the law, or so they claim. No, these are

131
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 2: actual written You can't claim it's a law. It's a

132
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: law book. You can go look it up. These are

133
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: all actual laws on the book. But on the other hand,

134
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 2: it's Bruce and he's a you know, drugged up, a

135
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: senior citizen rock and roll guy. But don't try to

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 2: fact check them voices or what did he say fighting

137
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: for justice? Well, actually they're fighting against justice. Ice is

138
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,920
Speaker 2: actually a forced enforcing laws on the book, actual law enforcement,

139
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,760
Speaker 2: and they're in there trying to block struck law enforcement action.

140
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,359
Speaker 2: So he's gonna devi again. Fact checkers, you can't got

141
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 2: to admit this part is kind of catchy musically, It's

142
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,840
Speaker 2: got like a nice melody and it's bouncy and bouncy

143
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 2: and music melodically it's but I don't know. You're talking

144
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: about a guy getting killed the tragedy. Should you be

145
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 2: so bouncy and melodic about it? I don't know. We'll

146
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: take our stand for this land, all right. That's pretty

147
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 2: good lyric writing. If it's the seventies, I don't know

148
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: it it's twenty sixteen. I don't know. See it goes

149
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 2: from bouncy pretty to like federal effects. I don't know.

150
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm getting text left and right. Please stop, you're killing

151
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: This is torture. It's not a bad song musically, I

152
00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 2: mean it's ridiculous. Will this be a hit? What do

153
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 2: you think? Will anybody play it? Who could play it?

154
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: I mean certainly not gonna be on C one hundred.

155
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: You're not gonna hear this on light FM with Q

156
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 2: one oh four play it? I don't know. Are you

157
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: rushing to download it right now? Will it be a

158
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: hit anywhere? Will it be viral online? Alex pretty lay

159
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: in the snow Dead. The melody doesn't fit. It's kind

160
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: of a happy It's kind of like a hungry heart.

161
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: It's too bouncy happy. It's like dancing in the dark

162
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: kind of pretty. I don't know all right, people are

163
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: begging me stop, don't play anymore. I can't take it.

164
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 2: But that's the latest from Bruce. Keep an eye on that.

165
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 2: We'll see where it goes, if it's a big hit

166
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: or not. Hey, President Trump, he's got a great idea

167
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 2: and he wants to do these Trump accounts. So when

168
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: you're born, a child is born, an account is set up.

169
00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 2: Everybody will have an account and the government will put

170
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 2: one thousand dollars in that account, and your parents can

171
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: put money in, your employers could put money in. But

172
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 2: the idea is you'll have this account. The government will

173
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: automatically put a thousand dollars in your little account as

174
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: a baby, and it will grow and compound. You can't

175
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: take the money out. It'll just keep compounding until you're eighteen.

176
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: And as Warren Buffett always explains, the biggest way to

177
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 2: make money is compounding. You know the words. You throw

178
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: the money in and don't touch it, keep reinvesting the profit,

179
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 2: the dividends. It'll be in a stock account, you know,

180
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,760
Speaker 2: some kind of fund. And if you don't touch it,

181
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: the thousand dollars, you can't touch it till you're eighteen.

182
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 2: It's estimated by the time you're eighteen it'll be about

183
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: three hundred thousand dollars in there, and if you leave

184
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: it till your twenty eighth birthday, it'll be a million dollars. Now,

185
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 2: once you're eighteen, you can start taking money out, and

186
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: there's government rules on this account. When you take the

187
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: money out, you're only allowed to spend it on certain things.

188
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: You're only allowed to spend it for education expenses. You're

189
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 2: allowed to spend it for buying a home, or you

190
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: can use it for retirement income when you retire. And

191
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: if you left it in till the time you retire,

192
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: it'd probably be about don't know, ten million dollars. So

193
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: it's not expensive to do it for the government. In fact,

194
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 2: it's cheaper than other stuff. So these Trump accounts are

195
00:09:58,559 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 2: going to be a big thing.

196
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: He meant yesterday, Young children that started out with really nothing,

197
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 1: and what gives him, Boy, it's more money than anybody

198
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: could imagine.

199
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 2: It's a great idea. Even if you wait till you're

200
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: eighteen take it out, you got three hundred thousand that'll

201
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 2: pay for your education. So it's a great, great idea.

202
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: Of course, Democrats will go nuts and denounce it like crazy,

203
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: and you'll hear a lot of fighting over it in

204
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 2: Congress and all of that stuff. Hey, you know, speaking

205
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:31,800
Speaker 2: of Minnesota, don't worry. I'm not going to play the

206
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: song again. Speaking of Minnesota, you know, the Tim Waltz,

207
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,160
Speaker 2: the governor, has to step down because of the Somali fraud.

208
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: Nineteen billion missing and he was too stupid to know,

209
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 2: so he has to leave office. He can't run for reelection.

210
00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: So everybody's threatening to run for reelection. Republican candidates are

211
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 2: jumping in, even Mike Lindell, my pillow Mike Lindell. And

212
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 2: he's a pretty charming guy, good salesman, he's a good talker.

213
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: So they started to get worried that somebody like Mike

214
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 2: Lindell could win as governor as the Republican. Now, remember

215
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: this is Minnesota, where they elect all kinds of characters.

216
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: They elected Jesse Ventura, the wrestler on a third party

217
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 2: as governor. And remember these voters are not exactly shrewd voters.

218
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 2: They elected Tim Wattz, they elected Mayor Fry, so they'll

219
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 2: elect anybody. Everybody but Lindell would have a real shot

220
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 2: so Democrats are in they're very worried about this, very

221
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:36,240
Speaker 2: very worried. So they decided that the most powerful, most

222
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: popular Democrat in the state needs to run to make

223
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:42,080
Speaker 2: sure that they hold onto the governor's mansion, and that

224
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: would be Amy Klobucher, the Senator. So she's going to

225
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 2: have to give that up and run for governor because

226
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: she's most likely a guaranteed winner, and she's just announced

227
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: she will do it. She'll run for governor and pretty

228
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:01,480
Speaker 2: much easily be the winner. Hey, the Washington Post, you know,

229
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: Jeff Bezos s bought it years ago for about two

230
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty million. But nobody reads these newspapers anymore.

231
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 2: You know, Am Talk radio has sixty three million people

232
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:16,720
Speaker 2: listening every day, sixty three million newspapers. All the newspapers

233
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 2: in America only have twenty two million readers. So not

234
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,440
Speaker 2: a lot of people reading newspapers, not a lot. So

235
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: you got to make cuts. Washington Posts. They've had to

236
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: cut costs. Even if you're Jeff Bezos a billionaire, you

237
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: got to you got to have, you know, a stable business.

238
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: So they're laying off people left and right. At the

239
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: Washington Post. They've decided they'll get rid of the sports

240
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 2: department because let's be honest, if you're a big, big,

241
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,360
Speaker 2: big sports person, you're not You're not going to the

242
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 2: Washington Post for their sports. They're not any good and

243
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: there's a million other places you can go get all

244
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: of that. So they're cutting it back. Everybody at the

245
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: Washington Post up in arms. There's going to be massive layoffs,

246
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 2: but they'll pay everybody to leave. A big, big payoff coming.

247
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 2: But they're furious. There's mutiny, there's rebellion, they're threatening to

248
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 2: walk out, which is exactly what he wants. But so

249
00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: it works out perfectly for everybody where is Bruce t

250
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,840
Speaker 2: You're going to hear this all day long on CNN

251
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 2: and MSNBC. Anyway, we'll take some calls next. Eight hundred

252
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 2: three two one zero seven ten is the number. Eight

253
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: hundred three two one zero seven ten
