Kim on a Whim — Moody’s Warns on NYC Finances, Socialist Spending Concerns, and Bailout Fears

In Kim on a Whim, Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge react to a new warning from Moody's shifting New York City’s outlook from stable to negative, sparking concerns about rising deficits and long-term fiscal instability. They criticize leadership under Zohran Mamdani and discuss comments from Kathy Hochul urging wealthy residents to return and help fund social programs. The conversation expands into fears of potential federal bailouts, pension “time bombs,” and comparisons to fiscal struggles in Illinois and other cities. Marc cites a quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin about voters electing leaders who promise government benefits, while warning that future administrations—possibly influenced by figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez—could approve bailouts. The segment closes with a preview of upcoming guests including Ken Cuccinelli, Brian Kilmeade, and Alan Dershowitz.
