00:00:00.000 so again reacting to last night while everything is going on right you know kennett said something
00:00:06.140 about democrats figuring themselves out right now as they're going through this next i'm paraphrasing
00:00:11.140 what you said earlier but uh here's cnn talking about who is their leading candidate and harry 0.96
00:00:19.140 enton calls it a clown show go ahead rob they're all running and this is just a downright clown
00:00:24.900 car at this point on the democratic side i mean just take a look here top choices for the 2028
00:00:29.980 dem pres nominee you have a leader but it's not really a clear leader it's within the margin area
00:00:35.320 you have newsom at 19 then you have former vice president kamala harris at 18 quite a weak number
00:00:40.780 for her given that of course she was the nominee last time around pete buddha judge who of course 0.72
00:00:44.420 has run before 13 alexandria ocasio cortez at 12 this is just a total clown car it is a total mess
00:00:52.220 there is no clear front runner at this particular point on the democratic side who the heck knows
00:00:57.740 who the nominee is going to be in three two years it's been a long time since we've had a democratic
00:01:02.740 race like this yeah it has been a long time this is very unusual for the democratic side to not have
00:01:09.760 a clear front runner at this point national early poll leader at at least 25 percent look at this this
00:01:16.100 year we get the giant question mark no one no one no one no one in 2020 when there was no
00:01:21.940 incumbent it was joe biden who was there hillary clinton in both 08 and 16 and al gore in both
00:01:27.380 2000 and 2004 at this point we're at least at 25 percent the early post you have to go all the way
00:01:33.000 back all the way back from when i wasn't even in elementary school yet not even in pre-k yet
00:01:38.640 to 1992 that was the last cycle in which there was no clear front runner 1992 he said that way
00:01:45.160 waiting since like 200 years ago back before yesterday so what about news so what are the
00:01:52.400 prediction markets saying his odds are yeah okay so it seems to me that yeah so that's pretty wild
00:01:57.380 when you see that does that kind of make sense though do you think that kind of makes sense yeah i
00:02:01.220 mean there's a civil war and the democratic party was going on in the last election between the
00:02:06.400 progressives and the center left and the progressives have all the energy right now mom donnie in new
00:02:14.500 york aoc and it's very hard for someone who's more electable to come out in the democratic party i mean
00:02:22.480 there's a war on in the republican party too but it's much more one-sided but in the democratic party i
00:02:28.960 mean it's sort of i think the progressives are clearly on top i think it's going to be a
00:02:34.800 progressive candidate you know somebody pretty left-leaning uh but who knows but by the way
00:02:42.100 that's actually a very good point tom the way kenneth is saying because if you see right now who are the
00:02:47.100 superstars of the left today two names who are the superstars mom donnie and aoc and you keep seeing
00:02:54.280 them collaborating even the video they made yesterday about how in spanish illegal immigrants you can get
00:02:59.480 child care free in new york and here's how to get it yeah i don't know if you saw that but you
00:03:04.720 know what's interesting is young good-looking charming charismatic and they at least have
00:03:11.920 ideas they're presenting of course they're socialist ideas of course there may be bad ideas of course
00:03:17.880 history says these ideas don't work but they're pitching ideas there's there's two different
00:03:22.400 communities one is sitting there saying he's evil he's evil he's evil the other one is saying let's raise
00:03:28.780 taxes on the rich and let's give free benefits to illegal immigrants believe it or not these guys 1.00
00:03:35.380 are getting more momentum than these guys because there is no ideas here it's just calling them out
00:03:39.500 and it's interesting if we go then by the way here's a crazy question for you guys uh um
00:03:44.480 you know kenneth you were around back in 1992 i wasn't a young man already in 1992
00:03:53.180 so the way he said it but but for you when you watch something like this you know and you see
00:04:00.740 the momentum that they're creating nobody thought a if i told you two years ago or three years ago
00:04:07.300 a full-on socialist one step away from a communist speaks like a communist he speaks as if he's read the
00:04:14.620 communist manifesto six seven eight times and he's a muslim and in new york city in the capital of
00:04:21.760 capitalism in the headquarters of capitalism right financial capital the world that took over london
00:04:27.120 that a socialist muslim progressive guys gonna become the mayor people would have said you're out
00:04:34.620 of your mind so if if that's the case do you think it's that crazy to say man maybe you can do that in
00:04:43.020 new york if you can do that in new york city maybe you can do that the national level with somebody like
00:04:47.660 an aoc yeah i mean i've been saying to people all over the world uh who are sort of worried about uh
00:04:54.780 the re-election of a trump-like figure they're so scared about that i say wait till you see the
00:05:01.740 election of a mom donnie like person you know in the united states what that's going to bring i mean uh
00:05:07.740 the the incredible swing the uncertainty the fact that you could you know our country's so far apart
00:05:14.860 and you could swing from one to the other but yeah no uh mom donnie is absolutely good looking
00:05:20.780 charming knows how to use social media no question about it and i and i do have my sort of okay they're
00:05:27.340 very left-leaning but you know good friends in new york who kind of like him because basically they said 0.99
00:05:33.660 the last two guys were idiots and so at least he doesn't seem like an idiot which you know he clearly 0.99
00:05:39.900 you know seems thoughtful even if not literate economically so you know we'll we'll we'll we'll 1.00
00:05:47.100 see but uh i don't know how he's going to do in new york because i've been it's not doing that he
00:05:53.500 inherited all this spending all these fiscal problems and if he raises taxes on the wealthy
00:05:59.420 like he wants to he's just going to chase them out and it's going to lose money it's going to make
00:06:04.140 him feel good but it's going to lose money who's going to pay the biggest price you're somebody that
00:06:08.140 you've been in the space of studying what works what doesn't work this is your world right phd mit
00:06:15.180 in economics you know chief uh economist at imf your world is to study what works what doesn't work
00:06:22.860 right what what when you look at what's going on with new york and the idea of raising wealth taxes
00:06:29.180 new york and california both are thinking about it how much common sense does one need to realize
00:06:35.740 they're going to leave the billionaires are going to leave how much common sense does it take to
00:06:40.460 realize that i tell you i have good friends they're very smart in new york i sit down i have dinner with
00:06:47.180 and i say that and they say i don't know anyone who's leaving and somebody else at the uh the dinner
00:06:53.180 will say wait a second you know the statistics say a lot of people are leaving and they'll say well
00:06:57.260 none of my friends are leaving i'm not going to leave i'll pay more taxes i mean i i don't know you
00:07:02.460 know but uh for sure uh these are successful people you're talking about that are saying this
00:07:08.540 well i mean they're from all walks of life you know uh but yeah i mean you got to look at the
00:07:13.820 spending side in new york and california too but particularly new york i understand uh needs to look
00:07:19.900 at that side of the equation i mean uh he it's there's sort of uh i don't know nihilism in the mondani
00:07:28.300 view that we make everything free the one percent can pay for everything and you can make everything
00:07:35.100 free but it's a choice you got to have everybody pay taxes if you want to do that yeah and i don't
00:07:40.540 think that's going to work and you're starting to see him saying he's going to raise property tax
00:07:44.460 to what did he say nine or ten percent and at the average joe comes out and saying what are you
00:07:48.860 talking about i thought you're going to go after the wealthy now you're going after us you can't do
00:07:52.380 something like this so now you reacted yeah so now you may not lose the billionaires you may lose
00:07:58.380 you know not necessarily the upper class in new york but some of the guys that are family running
00:08:02.860 small businesses making two hundred thousand dollars a year taking care of their wife and
00:08:06.620 kids you may even lose those guys that are going to sit there and say i'm going to go look at my
00:08:10.300 options you're seeing californians right now going on nevada right because you go there state you
00:08:15.020 know state taxes another one of those somewhat pro-friendly mark walberg bought a place there

00:08:25.580 palantir's moving their headquarters to uh to miami you saw griffin you saw citadel you saw what's
00:08:31.900 going on with folks with companies moving to palm beach who would have thought people would have moved

00:08:49.340 i don't know what's going to happen with these two states i don't know if they're doing it
