Speaker 1: set in the iHeartRadio app for his live show and

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: his podcast. Now back to the Monk Simone Show on

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: wr Hey, we'll take some calls. Eight hundred three to

5
00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: two one zero seven ten is the number. Let's go

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: to Dante in New Jersey. Dante, how you doing.

7
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 2: I'm doing all right. I got a question maybe somebody

8
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: can answer. These oil producers in America. I think they're

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: ripping us off because they're not paying one dime more

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: to produce the oil in this country than they were

11
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 2: three weeks ago.

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 3: And we can we.

13
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Produced more oil than anybody else in the world, and

14
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 2: some of the oil comes off of our own sedral land,

15
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: which belongs to us.

16
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, sometimes it's the oil companies. More often it's the governments,

17
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: the local state governments. You know, gas when it was

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: two dollars and thirty cents everywhere in America. Still six

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: dollars in California, Still four dollars in parts in New York.

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: That's because the governments just tax it to death, tax

21
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: it to death. You know, when you go to the

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: pump and it's the let's say four dollars about twelve

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: cents of that goes to the oil company. The rest

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,520
Speaker 1: is all taxes and fees. Let's go to Joe in Mattawan,

25
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Joe, how you doing.

26
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 4: Well? Thank you? Mark. I enjoyed your piece just before

27
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 4: the break on alcohol consumption of the demographic group below

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: thirty five. My question to you is, if they're not

29
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 4: drinking and going to happy hours, what are they doing

30
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 4: with that time?

31
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,919
Speaker 1: They're staying home, they're looking at their phone, they're meeting

32
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: each other online. They don't need to go to a

33
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: happy hour, they don't need to go.

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: To a bar.

35
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: It's kind of sad. I mean, everything's moving to online

36
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: and not in person.

37
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 4: But okay, thank you Mark.

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, if you're in the middle of Manhattan and

39
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: you go to you'll see a big bar crowd in

40
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the middle of Manhattan. But that's Manhattan, although not as

41
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: big as it used to be. But if you're out

42
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: in the suburbs or in other places, you really don't

43
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: see the happy hour crowd is a lot, a lot

44
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,639
Speaker 1: smaller than it used to be. Let's go to Vincent

45
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: and Brooklyn. Vincent.

46
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 3: How you doing, good morning, Mark, Mark. I'm okay. I

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 3: believe part of the problem with the repeat crime in

48
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: the Bronx is the fact that you have these uh

49
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 3: you have a whacked out liberal district attorney up there,

50
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: and also a lot of the judges. There's one judge

51
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 3: in particular, she's she's like Bruce Wright of the of

52
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 3: the seventies and eighties that was in Tom Wolf's book

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 3: exactly exactly mark this law that Mondomi wants to pass

54
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 3: about lowering the threshold of having a with the inheritance tax,

55
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 3: that's a real can of worms if you really look

56
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 3: into it. Because let's say a person owns a business

57
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: and it's it's not traded publicly. Let's say a person

58
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 3: who has a real tony uh card dealership that could

59
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: easily be worth over a million dollars. First, even a

60
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 3: small business to be worth over a million dollars these

61
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 3: days isn't very hard, especially if it's a small building

62
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: attached with the business. And if this person wants to

63
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: pass that on to his kids, his grandkids, whoever, a friend.

64
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 3: If these people don't come up with the inheritance tax

65
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 3: on that, the city could confiscate the property and everything.

66
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the idea. I think that's what man.

67
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:33,920
Speaker 5: Donne's uptodes, that's what he said, because he wants.

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: Inheritance tax doesn't kick in till seven million. He wants

69
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: to make it seven hundred and fifty thousand, which means

70
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: for most people, if they die the house, the kids

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: will need to sell it to pay the inheritance tax

72
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: and they.

73
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 5: And that's going to really really hurt the black and

74
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 5: Hispanic middle class and even the white middle class, because

75
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: that's into generational wealth. These people worked all their lives

76
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: to finally pay off this house and they want to

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: pass it on to their kids or their grandkids. And

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 5: he's not even saying per individual who's in the will,

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 5: wol who's going to inherit this. This is the total

80
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: value of the estate that's nothing these days, seven hundred

81
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: and fifty thousand dollars. So at what about a company

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 5: like the Trump Corporation. Now I don't know if it's

83
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 5: publicly traded, but I'm just using that as an example.

84
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 5: What is he going to come and confiscate big companies

85
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: and everything that are still helped privately.

86
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's ridiculous, Vincent, great call, Thanks for calling. Yeah,

87
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: the real problem is in New York City and they's

88
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: talking about fifty percent tax. If you die. Let's say

89
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: it's a seven hundred thousand dollars house, the tax will

90
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 1: be three hundred and fifty thousand. Many many cases, they

91
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: wouldn't be able to pass the house along to their kids.

92
00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: The kids would have to sell it to pay the

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: inheritance tax. And first of all, they arguing against inheritance tax.

94
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 1: This money's already been taxed. When the person earned it,

95
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: they paid tax on it. It's already taxed. The money.

96
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 1: Once you pay all the tax and it's yours, it

97
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 1: shouldn't be taxed again. Anyway. It's a crazy, crazy, ridiculous

98
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Momdani proposal. Hey, when we come back, Jimmy Fayla on

99
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 1: every night at nine here on WR. It's very funny.

00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: We'll talk to Jimmy Fayler next on seven to ten

101
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 1: wor
