Transcripts For FBC Bulls Bears 20240713

In less than three months left before primary voting begins and wealthy donors are grumbling as a current democrat prospects of how dramatically could this reshape the whole president ial race . This is bulls bears and im david asman joining me on the panel feathers and moraga gary smith and john burnett. Joe biden telling reporters earlier today hes not worried about bloomberg entering the race calling the former mayor a solid guy but Bernie Sanders Elizabeth Warren is wasting no time slamming the new york city mayor. Sanders fired off a fundraising email saying america doesnt need another alien or using his wealth again in his words to buy an election and Elizabeth Warren doubling down on the message. Listen. I dont think big money ought to be able to buy our actions and thats true whether we are talking about leaners for Corporate Executives defund packs or big lobbyists. We need a government that works for the people. David if lindbergh designs hes running how much does this change the race john . I think oeste ball mayor bloomberg should stop questioning the risk of running in the democratic primary. I think theres a lane for him. Zero when you look at capitalism racism and sexism all of its guns to which lane is a going to take . David how about prosperity. Its modernism. People might look at this and say hes getting in the race because he wants to protect his own interests. When you look at Bernie Sanders campaign wore an, they are all after the rich so hes giving fuel to the top two candidates. I wonder what is going to campaign on. It makes it sound like hes going to be a moderate and is going to fund himself with 52 billion. How is he going to stand out tracks whats going to motivate people and we are talking about bloomberg terminals we dont use that here. The polls arent showing that great in terms of response towards bloomberg. You had fox news polls that came out in a covert saying 6 of democratic primary voters would vote for him. The dude 2 would not and then if we talk about more specific area that would be white voters without College Degrees and nonwhite voters. Those numbers are even lower. So far is a premature . Heather this is before he spent some of that 5 billion at least to get the nomination. Id push back a little bit from whats been said thus far could most americans are moderate and i think bloomberg is much more moderate than Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren and one of the reason shes jumping in the race is because she sees biden is falling back in critical key states like New Hampshire and iowa. Biden is trailing warren in the polls so bloomberg sees himself as an alternative kind of like Howard Schultz when he entered the race as an independent. Hes just saying look i think most americans are moderate and thats what im getting into the race. Im glad heather brought up Howard Schultz because i think this is about how long this campaign is going to last and what its all about. Its about vanity. Its about Michael Bloomberg who by the way 99. 9 of americans dont even know who he is. You might have heard the name bloomberg. New yorkers do. I dont know about that. Well all right but my opinion is they dont know who he is just like they dont know all the Democratic Candidates that may be sanders and biden and warren. They dont know these other candidates. This is a vanity campaign. He is not trying as john said to protect his well. Hes coming in because he thinks i can solve the problems. Im the ultimate candidate and we have alluded to this point that is going to come across basically is a rich joe biden like. I think he will have the same effect. He will come and go when he sees how brass knuckles the solace. John its hard to run for president , very difficult not only because of the money angle which he doesnt have to worry about that because of the strain. Everybody does it because they think they can make america a better place and thats why it is. Hes not a printer at heart so he thinks he can do practically anything. He is a billionaire. Howard schultz tried it are the only person who has been successful is President Trump. He can speak to everyday americans. I dont think bloomberg can do that and look what he did for his third term. When you talk about looking out for the little guy he looks out for himself. David for those who dont know there was a lot of books and you can only run two terms. He used a big pr campaign think that change so he could run for a third term. Right. How was he able to do that . He opened his checkbook and pay people off in terms of communities and nonprofits and things of that nature and got his third term and guess what he did after he got in . He actually reversed what he had dismantled. He put the rule back in place so nobody else can do it. It sounds like youre siding with warren and the fact that heres a billionaire buying his way in. He successfully do that by pushing his term as new york mayor. Hes going to do it now so maybe heather i will direct this to you do you think its justified that a wealthy man can choose to use his own funds to support himself and his vanity project collects. I wouldnt call it a vanity project. Do i think that somebody can use and should use their own wealth versus lobbyists to support themselves . Absolutely do and furthermore this is limburg to play devils advocate he he has a huge philanthropy organization. Hes not as big as gates in terms of philanthropic effort but hes investing in Climate Change. The democrats i thought they liked Climate Change in philanthropic efforts. You are supposed to be the party that supports that or do you think you will pull votes from warren . I dont think it will her warn. I only think it would hurt right in. David ernie was specific. He said he didnt think it should be billionaires in this country. Theres something wrong with the economy if they have billionaire send us kristina said he is 52 billion bucks. I dont think we should vilify the wealthy. Look i dont think theres any problem. This whole thing by the way about the wealthy person buying their way into the election, come on. Guess the average person on the street their wealth influence the election. The fact that trump had more ads than clinton, i highly doubt it. Do we really think the average person out there is so gullible that just because they saw one or two more this is not the general election. This is a completely different lane. Cambridge analytica just won against what you said because they successfully persuaded a lot of americans to vote in a certain direction. Thats what the whole scandal was about. This is the same argument as saying the russians influenced people via facebook. Go out and interview 100 people and say get a facebook ad influence your vote . It think he answers going to be no 99. 9 of time. David we have more details about this race coming up. Charlie gasper has been doing some reporting on this and he was the first one more than a month ago to say that bloomberg still had his Campaign Staff working on this when everybody said he was out so charlie will be out towards the end of the show with more details. Meanwhile 2020 president ial hopeful Bernie Sanders is just out with a sweeping new immigration plan. What officials are saying and will it turn in america into a safe haven for traffickers . Council vice. President ardell cueto on whats in the plan and why whats in the plan and why agents are slamming the plan. Only one things more exciting than than getting a lexus. Giving one. This is unbelievable it really is. The lexus december to rembember sales event lease the 2020 rx 350 all wheel drive for 419 a month for 27 months. Experience amazing at your lexus dealer. David president ial contender Bernie Sanders announcing a radical new proposal for addressing the border crisis. His plan is for me pieces to it. An immediate hault deportations breaking up the Border Patrol and other Immigration Enforcement agencies, granting full welfare access to Illegal Immigrants and welcoming a minimum of 50,000 socalled climate migrants. Sanders also saying he will use it executive action to quote a tech their immigrant communities and reverse every single horrific action implemented by trump, his words brittany snowe is the national Border Patrol councils Vice President ardell cueto. What do you think would happen if this plan were implemented . First of all i think its unrealistic but if this plan would be implemented you would see a mass role of criminals entering our country. Its been all over the news the issues happening in mexico with the drug cartels. Thats something that is a daytoday occurrence in mexico. We are seeing it because it was american citizens that were massacred and now to have Bernie Sanders saying he wants to open the doors and allow those people in our country, thats very responsible. Most democrats support like senator harris as well as warren support decriminalizing allowing illegals to cross the border. Joe biden said this would be an absolute crime producing only democrat thus far that pushed that. What are your thoughts . Its definitely a crime. You are selling out the American Public and selling out your own citizens. We are saying how horrible some of these criminals can be pretty few want to open up the doors in the floodgates and add that magnet of prime into her country which will allow them to go into our neighborhoods and our schools, think its just irresponsible and they are just pandering to her Certain Group but its very responsible when you start mentioning those things because Something Like that can grow legs and people can think its a good idea when realistically its not only an irresponsible idea but a horrible idea. Art, gary smith. Graywith what you are saying harkening back to when immigrants landed on ellis island it should be an burned privilege rather than anything else but im curious you talk about the criminals and the bad guys. You have any statistics or numbers about how crime rates change as these Illegal Immigrants cross the border . All youve got to do is look at the facts speak for themselves. Look at the monstrosities in the horrific acts occurring in mexico and its happening in against our borders. You look at that in the new book and see that there is no actual way to determine how many illegals are coming into the country and we are not apprehending. We have the numbers up what we apprehend that we dont have the numbers of who gets away. One thing i did agree with senator sanders on is he said immigration is not a threat to our nation. It isnt that what he needs to understand his ilLegal Immigration is and i dont understand why these individuals are having such a hard time with englishlanguage. Theres a big difference between illegal and Legal Immigration and thats coming from an immigrant which english was a second language. Said kristina parks and i think ears the word pandering. How many proposals were put into place. On the flipside you have bipartisan support or i guess unhappiness about the separation of families. Over the last little while what are you seeing in terms of how this is being mitigated especially with the abundance of families and people stuck in these facilities . Speaking to the agents that i represent we constantly get these stories of minors coming across and rediscover the individuals are claiming to be parents or guardians is simply not true. Whats happening is they are renting these children in mexico so they can come across and used the loophole while holding on to a child. Thats the reality of whats happening. I will also remind a lot of people in the United States as a u. S. Citizen you commit a crime and you have a child with you youll be separated from that child. Coming into the country and asking for asylum thats not against the law for crossing in between ports of entry illegally trying not to be detected is against the law. Once again i will remind you theres a huge difference between Legal Immigration and ilLegal Immigration. David this is going against the rule of law. This is at the heart of marxism. With that said this is a business show. In business we have to prepare for the worst and we have to make sure if this happens how are you going to handle it. Thats a question to you. Do you have ways to handle this chaos at the border . Is their use of technology and things of that nature . It paul may not be completely finished. What you can do what can you do if this is the likely outcome collects. Obviously we are in a tough position of Something Like this would happen but i trust theres enough individuals out there and care enough about this country that they can pretty much the on the opposite end when we have politicians that are speaking very responsible and selling out the American Public. Thats what its going to come down to, how much do you really care for this country or are you willing to put someone in office that realistic way doesnt care about you, me or any american in this country . David you talk to the rule of law. Another plan, illegals have been here for years and automatically get legal status. I have been nicaraguan sister whos been trying to get in for years and doing it legally. They are millions of others doing it legally and this would leapfrog all of those other people have been adhering to the rule of law and is not a get precedent to set. Art, good to see you. Thank you for coming in again. Brave men and women back from service are looking launch a business, thousands of them. We have a new list of the best cities in america for veteran opera do you recall, not long ago we would walk on the sidewalk all around the wind blows we would only hold on to let go blow a kiss into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss into the sun we needed somebody to lean on all we need is someone to lean on david we are celebrating veterans day little early. On monday. According to the Census Bureau 10 of u. S. Business are majority owned by veterans. Thats good news. New research by the Pentagon Federal Credit Union Foundation Known as pence said that ranks new york city is the top city in United States for veteran entrepreneurs. The veteran entrepreneur at that penn joins us now. First of all what you think new york is at the top of the list . New york not only has a Large Population of veterans but excess echoes of that Large Population there a lot of resources that are available to them and in addition to that its an epicenter for business. Some of the things that we looked at to inform these numbers were at the ability to start a business, veteran resources and support, livability. These things that make sense that new york is new york is at the top of the list and congratulations to new york. To that point you have four factors you mentioned. Was there one that influence influenced more than others . Livability with infrastructure in new york city can get anywhere with the subways very quickly versus another city like l. A. You have to drive them you need a car and we financially dont have the money for that its not feasible. His livability one of the main factors . Livability is definitely a there with factors that some of the bigger factors are veteran support and the ability to start a business. David entrepreneurs . Absolutely. Throughout my career a ton of veterans chose leadership positions and chosen as financial and wealth advisers. Their goal and Mission Oriented and have high levels of discipline and the value teamwork. Those are skills that are absolutely necessary for entrepreneurs however my mind wonders what industries are they actually and in terms of launching their businesses, what sectors . We have scene veteran starting this is across all sectors. Hasnt really been that center around one. You name some great attributes and i would add to that stamina. To be an entrepreneur and to start your own business you need stamina. You need to be like you said old treven and Mission Driven so veterans are very well prepared to be entrepreneurs. Gary smith here. Do you represent new york represent the entire country, thats my first question i suppose. We worked with veterans all over the country. Knee then my question is and i have to laugh to be honest being an ex northeasterner i never thought new york city as far as the ease of doing business or livability or you can cost very high on the list. Im a proud now floridian. I would think that is probably maybe a bigger growth area but you have the numbers. What are you seeing . Livability definitely figured into it but the resources that veterans have in the new york market is very expansive. We even see and why you has their veterans features left and there a lot of veteran organizations that have chapters in the new york market Like Team Red white and blue, bunker lab. These programs are great ways to bring the veteran Community Together and basically cultivate that ecosystem. That is one of the major challenges for veterans going into entrepreneurship together being accessed capitol. Thats something we are really focusing on there are veteran entrepreneur program. Helping veterans tackle this hurdle of access capitol. Hi seda goff, heather zumarraga. Some of us like john work in the financial industry and we are heavily involved in giving back the Marine Scholarship Foundation for example or dog tag is another foundation but the point is i see that as helping the organization and helping the company because our clients want to work with people that are giving back to the community. What are some other ways that companies can support your initiative . We very much welcome support from other companies and other entrepreneurs that have seen success and they can do that through supporting our initiative. We are launching an Innovation Lab in 2020 and welcome partners not only could stand up this physical location where patrons can come and get resources to help start a business but also serve as mentors and subject Matter Experts to help propel these veterans forward toward success. One of our goals is entrepreneurship is part of the military story. Successful entrepreneurship in the pathway to successful entrepreneurship goes through military service. Its not just something you do after you separate. David you do great work and for those veterans watching its penfed foundation. Thank you very much and happy veterans day to you. Thank you very much. You too. David its not war on the wealthy democrats rolling out yet another proposal to tax the rich and not even from the campaign trail. But lawmakers are proposing and how it could affect your wallet right after vo the moth without hope, struggles in the spiders web. With every attempt to free itself, it only becomes more entangled. Unaware that an exhilarating escape is just within reach. Defy the laws of human nature. At the season of audi sales event. Hey fred its medicare open enrollment. E. Time to compare plans. Were fine with what we have. Thats what the johnsons thought until they tried medicares new plan finder. The johnsons . We saved a lot on our prescription costs and got extra benefits. How bout it, fred. Plans change every year. Use the new plan finder at medicare. Gov. Comparing plans really pays. Look how much we can save. David democratic lawmakers are unveiling a plan that would raise taxes on high income households. Dimmock is senator Chris Van Hollen and congressman don beyer are proposing an additional 10 surtax on top of existing tax rates for incomes over 2 million for married couples, 1 million for individuals but with tax revenue right now at an alltime high since the trump tax cuts kicked in and Median Household Income also surging to an alltime high to almost 66,000 could these proposed tax hikes end up killing these games gary . Absolutely david. I call it the ultimate hubris in that politicians at the basics of it think they can spend your money better than you can. Ask anyone out on the street. As i mentioned a couple of times in the show if i earn a dollar, if i get that in my better off spending that dollar or better off giving the government the dollar to spend . Invariably people have a gut feel. I can spend it better but statistics and studies back that up. Theres actually a negative multiplier when you give the government money. You get back 98 cents on the dollar even apart from that study after study has shown. As the size of the government increases the tax revenue to gdp starts to decline. Why . Because government spends money and efficiently. Thats why i called it the ultimate who are hubris. We have on the screen the details of this millionaire tax from 37 to 47 . They said this would only impact the. 2 of the population so 98. 8 of the population is supposed to be okay as well as Capital Gains from 20 to 30 plus a 3. 8 investment tax. Bottom line taxes are going up. Democrats are saying it wont impact the majority of americans but im a little skeptical. Heather to the point it equates to 329,000 people according to their research. Often we talk about the tax on those making more than five, 10 in the billiondollar range. How many people does it really affect in america . I know the trickledown comment and david is shaking his head. David the amc started affecting a couple million people. They were to propose putting a surtax of people that make anywhere between 10,200,000 you are affecting the vast majority of the population there would be a major opera. Im not saying this is good in the sense that you are discouraging people from burning a higher income but often we have to look at the bigger picture. I would like to be one of those wealthy people complaining. David when you add up all the tax rates this is going to push the wealthy tax rate above 50 . This is before the wealth tax and everything else. This is going to kill investment. This is going to kill jobs. Every dollar that is spared from taxation creates another job and destroys investment. This has to be stopped. Theres no better person then President Trump to actually kill this idea. Why . Because hes the best salesman at conveying the message to the American People that while it not while it might not impact you directly tortured pocket but it might affect job so beware. Smith let me make one more comment periods not about whos affected by lets take an example of the daddy warbucks of billionaires. Is bill gates said when she gets a certain number he starts to say how much money he has. The bill gates out there are hiring gardeners and people that fixes house and pool people. The less money he has the less money he has to spend on hiring all those people. Its not just the its he is affected and no one else is affected comments that trickledown effect. Im sorry thats a very big deal but i have less money to hire people and everyone else that i pay money to is affected. David at the way another fact before we go the top 2 of the small group the top 2 of taxpayers pay about 50 of all income tax. Talking about paying their fair share, theres a lot thats being paid by that. Meanwhile will Michael Bloomberg actually run for president . Charlie gasparino has the inside scoop. He just got off the phone with some key sources. He will let us know what they david an update for top story bloomberg representing bloomberg or in alabama filing at this hour the states democratic president ial primary ballot. You need 500 alabamans to do it to the filing deadline is about 20 minutes for now. Charlie gasparino has been reporting on bloombergs Campaign Operation for weeks right here. Charlie is he going to run . I dont know. I dont think anybody really knows. It was surprising everybody he was still maintaining a campaign office. At 66 or seven workers and he was taking polling. And when i went to them i said what do you make of this . What i got back as this. He doesnt know if he is going to run. Hes leaving the door open. Dont say hes definitely running buddies leaving the door open. I really think where he is now is not that much different than them then except for the fact that he is really worried about Elizabeth Warren becoming the standard bearer and joe biden. One thing that we have done in our reporting we found that he had an unofficial pact with fight not to run if he was okay in the polls. Its increasingly, doesnt look good lately for biden particularly in the fundraising. His fundraising numbers have fallen off so that is what animated his decision. Not saying hes running but going one step closer. By the way there are lots of negatives for bloomberg running. Its always been the word that he is 20 billion in treasuries that he can just spend. Donald trumps michael is worth 50 billion in donald trump studies worth 10. Its probably worth two or three and its probably extremely illiquid and buildings and stuff. Michael bloomberg has 50 billion i havent confirmed this. Im not his banker but the rumor is they never denied that hes got 20 or 25 billion in treasuries which is essentially cash and he can liquidate that. If he wants to pull 5 billion out of his pocket he can do it now. The bad side of all of that them by the way the biden people are worried about that just a no that part. David they are cash poor. The bad side about this is a lot of people think even schumer mentioned this last night at a fundraiser from what i am told. There issues with them getting involved. He does galvanize the left. Ilya nehr plays right into their hands and bernie is already capitalizing on this. To galvanize the populace the more Progressive Left of the democratic party. The other negative that bloomberg has in a nomination aspect yes he was mayor three times a day york, get that but you know again strained relations with the africanamerican community. Stopandfrisk was enforced mightily under mayor bloomberg. Black politicians particularly in new york call it profiling in terms of police work. And biden as you know has very strong ties with africanamericans who might understand hes going to try to play. Hes going to come out in the next couple of weeks and come up up with the a show of force with africanamerican elected officials. Thats going to do well in the south. The south is big for democrats and black voters in particular thats the sum part of the party. There are the positives and negatives and i still dont know hes going to run. I think he is not going to run but if he ran i wouldnt be surprised. Charlie great reporting. We are obviously going to find out the deadline is at 6 00 p. M. So we will find out where he soon. Thats when he registers. That is a meanies going to run. We will find out if he registers very soon but if somehow he did win the primary and the general election would be pull some of their publicans like the never trumpers away from trump . I think hes going to be formidable for President Trump. 1. 5 billion, then reporting some of that at one point five versus 25 build in is no match. A lot of corporate democrats will support bloomberg. Heres the real test for trump. Hes going to run on the economy and hes going to be pretty good his behavior has turned off a lot of independence back in suburban women. I know im going to get a million emails from people. Trump this and that. You said hillary was going to win by the way. She did win the popular vote but this is the real thing. David i have breaking news. Excessive trumps attitude turning off suburban white women David Charlie hebdo jump in because we have a statement from a bloomberg people. He says quote if we run we are confident we can win in states voting on super tuesday and beyond. Blair ruble started an even footing but the late timing means many candidates already have a big head start and the early states where they spent once a month campaigning is spending money. We have enormous respect for the democratic primary process and many friends in the state but her plan is to run a broadbased national campaign. He said if and biden is going to have to implode for him to win in the south with bidens connection with black voters down there. David charlie we rely in your reporting. Thank you very much my friend. Why hundreds of thousands of americans just got tax on their phone sense months ago. Phone sense months ago. The cyber die look. Only one things more exciting than getting a lexus. Ahhhh giving one. The lexus december to rembember sales event lease the 2020 nx 300 for 329 a month for 27 months. Experience amazing at your lexus dealer. David a weird last from the past for more than 160,000 americans when they receive the text on their phones originally written as far back as valentines day. This is really strange. Some have messages coming from friends or family who have actually passed on. Others received a text from exboyfriends, exgirlfriends and his the worst scenario getting a text from someone who is diapered the cyber is here Kurt Knutsson joins us with more details. Getting a text from a dead relative is really spooky. Whos responsible for for this and what happened . A lot of people saying this is a cursed david and for others they think its striking. A lot of mixed opinions but a lot of people pouring out their emotionally charged responses. These are called ghost texts. 168,149 of them. The reason this happened is the Company Names in the first located in Tampa Florida actually is the gobetween thirdparty between the Wireless Phone companies that we use. I send you a message from at t that you use Something Else like verizon they might use in a verse to connect those messages and bring the next service. Apparently right around valentines day they got caught up in this glitch and sat there suspended and in the maintenance update that they were doing on their system they started flowing through. Doesnt say they were dated back then. Looks like they were just that right now so for someone from your past that you dont like it now seems like theres saying hey im waiting outside with flowers thats not really good. To your point putting the blame on the thirdparty vendor that you talk about this is an coming until now but i guess ive been in the dark not paying attention to the fine print as usual. Thereve always been thirdparty vendors reading over attacks and we are foolish to think these pellets indication companies are the only ones. We are foolish to think that any of our techs are private number one in and number to your exact directly the fine print may illustrate that third parties may look at our data as we sift from one place to the next with nobody, nobody reads the fine print. Because the statement that simply says we apologize to anyone impacted by this. William hurley the chief marketing and product officer involved issue has been been recalled where in the process of reviewing our internal procedures to ensure it never happens again. This is really funny curt tradeshows producer amanda received one of these texts. I have not yet. Can you tell us and until the viewers what carriers were impacted and what type of phones were impacted and who should be on the lookout . A good question. It can happen to anybody. Its every major phone provider so if you say we are dating someone and you have verizon and they had sprint its possible the message got caught up at that time especially for those who said around that time before they broke up i never got your message and i said in a restaurant for hours waiting for you. But its the same service they likely did not go through syniverse. Snippets could be a dating nightmare. If youve moved on to a new relationship and its eight months later and all of a sudden you are out to dinner with your new mate and he received a text hey thanks for dinner last night. This would be a huge nightmare. To expound on the privacy issues or whatever are we all vulnerable to hacking and sharing information and some of the other staff . Whats the real issue behind this . I think the bigger question we need to be asking who is regulating this and how was this allowed to happen . How can one company just sort of hold on to our private communications for so long and what if any of those have life or death consequences to it . What if it was somebody saying hey we just landed for the patient and the liver is waiting at the curb. Im drying up hypotheticals but the fact of the matter is somebody should be held responsible not just for the emotional but how can we let a company not feel at liberty to not get the message. David we have got to go but david you are a font of information. We will invite you back. Kurt knutsson thank you very much for being here.

Com Huffington Post an american to change their thanksgiving traditions for global warming. Back off after releasing article titled the Environmental Impact of light thanksgiving dinner. They actually suggest eliminating turkey from your meal and not traveling to see loved ones to reduce emissions. Im guessing you still plan to cut turkey from your thanksgiving. I saw this and almost wannacry. Every single thing has to be a thing. We is nothing sacred . Everything has to be politically correct. First of all, i love turkey.
