Mr. New York. It's Mark Simone on 710 W.O.R.

Well, Steve Moore, one of the great economists in the world, author, best-selling author.

In fact, his latest book is GovZilla. You should get that book, GovZilla.

And he runs the committee to unleash prosperity. You should go to that website and sign up for the daily briefing.

It's excellent stuff. It's free. It'll come to your email every day. Committee to Unleashprosperity.

Steve Moore, how you doing? Hey, Mark, I'm doing well. I'm a little worried about the government

taking my gas stove away. But other than that, I'm doing just fine. How are you doing? Yeah. Now, listen, we've been talking to restaurant owners. Your gas

stove at home, maybe one burner's on for 10 minutes. In a restaurant kitchen, 18 burners are on

12 hours a day. The chef's head is right over it all day. No chef has ever gotten sick from a gas stove.

I know.

It's ridiculous. It is ridiculous. And by the way, the food tastes much better on a gas stove than an electric stove. So, you know, so that's why they use the gas stoves, you know. And by the way, my wife, you know, I don't want to sound like a sexist, Mark, but it is true that my wife does the cooking for the most part in my house.

And she was hopping mad when she heard about this. And now, of course, the Biden administration backtracking. Oh, no, no, we weren't going to, you know, we weren't going to get rid of guests. So there's been quite a backlash against this idea because people are just furious. It's the same thing, by the way, Mark, with the light bulbs. Did you see, you know, now it's going to be illegal to buy any kind of old-fashioned incandescent light bulb. And, you know, fluorescence are the thing that they're going to impose on us. And I don't, you know, quite frankly, I don't like fluorescent light bulbs. So I've got to, don't tell a nudity, Mark, but I got a closet full of those now illegal. Old-fashioned light bulbs. You've been warning people for years that under the guise of climate change, they'll pull all of this crap. What is the purpose? It's just to get control over you? Yes. Yes. I mean, this is the nanny state. Remember the good old days, Mark, because I'm kind of libertarian more than conservative.

I just want the government kind of.

And you remember liberals said, keep the government out of the bedroom. Yeah. Well, now they want to tell you what kind of light bulb you can put in your bedroom. And then they, you know, they don't want to keep the government out of the kitchen either. You know, they want the government to tell you what you can do because they're smarter than we are.

Now, I don't know if you know this, but in New York City, Mayor de Blasio,

a couple of years ago banned new gas stoves. So they're already banned in New York City. And Governor Hokel just put it into new legislation banning any new gas stoves in New York state. So they're getting away with it in some spots.

It's ridiculous.

I mean, and the thing is that not only gas stoves,

in New York, they're getting away with it in some spots. It's ridiculous. I mean, and the thing is that not only gas stoves, in New York, they're also trying to, I believe, you probably know better than I do,

but I was reading a couple of weeks ago that they want to ban new homes that are built to be using gas heat,

which is ridiculous because gas heat is cheap. And by the way, natural gas

is a clean burning fuel. It reduces pollution levels. It doesn't increase pollution. Yeah, but for some
