11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:38,640

12
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,159
Speaker 1: still doing work, and what that experience is, in his

15
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: how it changed him, and why he decided it was

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: time to get himself into America right here in the Midwest.

23
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: hates you, that is I know, I know it's wrong

24
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: to call Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas h But if if the

25
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: uh probably offensive thing I would say about Native Americans fits,

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: see what am I supposed to say? Like like you know,

27
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: you could you could make a joke there, and then

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: someone's gonna say that's offensive. So I just I threw

29
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: it in that way so that way I'm not offending anyone.

30
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: But everybody knows that I would probably say something that

31
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: would offend someone, but I didn't say it. And that

32
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 1: kids is called theater of the mind. Remember, often it

33
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: is not what is said that is the thing that

34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: is most shocking. It is the thing that you are

35
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: left to your imagination to think. We said that's the

36
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: most shocking, because you can come up with stuff far

37
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 1: more weird than me. Oh oh, I could come up

38
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,560
Speaker 1: with a good zing. What you come up with is

39
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: downright disgusting. And you should see a therapist. You know it,

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 1: I know it, we both know it. We don't have

41
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: to discuss it anymore. Elizabeth Warren is in New York

42
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: campaigning for Zoronmumdanni, the socialist who would be mayor. And

43
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: when I say campaigning for, she thinks that he's the

44
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,279
Speaker 1: future of the party.

45
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 2: Progressive socials.

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: What the party should look like?

47
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 2: You try to party move.

48
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: You bet, you bet? This is what the party should

49
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: look like. The party should look like a communist Islamist.

50
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: He's a Red Green alliance all to himself. The party

51
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 1: should look like somebody who wants to defund the police,

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: tax white people more. And thinks that the city can

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: run grocery stores because all the other things the city

54
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: does it does with such a plumb. The city is

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: so well run. Why not be in charge of how

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: people get fed? Got it perfect? But the story here

57
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: is that of Elizabeth Warren. Now, Elizabeth Warren has always

58
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: been bad when it comes to her political points of view.

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: She has always certainly been a progressive. She is really

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: no different than Bernie Sanders. Remember she is the one

61
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: who brought you the CFPB, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Right,

62
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: this absolutely horrific organization that should be defunded and should

63
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: be taken out because it's purpose. Its purpose is to

64
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: find a way to take money from your pocket and

65
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: put it into their pocket. That's what it does. No

66
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: one is better off, no one is safer. It decides

67
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: that some people are at fault or in error, and

68
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: the answer is, well, give us money. No no, we

69
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: just decide no, no, no, We're not constitutionally prescribed or

70
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: anything like that. He just decides to create an agency

71
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 1: to go after you. Her hatred of small business, her

72
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: hatred of capitalism, is clear and obvious. That is most

73
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: seen in this conversation she's having on CNBC. I want

74
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: you to to experience this. I will break it up

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: like I will interject, but I want you to hear

76
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,040
Speaker 1: how she says it. There are two things, what is

77
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 1: said and then how it is said. Just like the

78
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 1: thing that is said is sometimes not as strong or

79
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 1: as powerful as a thing that is implied or the

80
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: thing that is unsaid, and the person is the the

81
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,839
Speaker 1: listener is left to fill in with their own imagination

82
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 1: that can be much more powerful. Not what in that

83
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 1: case what is left out, but in this case, not

84
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 1: what is said, but also how it is said, let's

85
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: start here.

86
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:54,839
Speaker 3: You mentioned mom Donnie, and you are in New York,

87
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 3: sort of talking speaking in behalf of him to a

88
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: certain extent, you know, I wonder though often we see this,

89
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 3: and this is a local election, New York does not

90
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,800
Speaker 3: operate in a vacuum. It competes with other cities. And

91
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 3: so this idea of somehow raising taxes on the wealthiest

92
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 3: New Yorkers, who, by the way, I would point out,

93
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 3: pay roughly fifteen percent of their income right now between

94
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 3: city and state. Raising taxes on them will simply drive

95
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: them away. Shouldn't the focus of a mayor be on

96
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 3: delivering services to the constituents of the city, and doing

97
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 3: that by raising the most revenue as possible without chasing

98
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: businesses and the high income.

99
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: Taxpayers out of the city.

100
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: Because they can go to Austin, they can go to Dallas,

101
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 3: they can go to Atlanta, they can go to Nashville.

102
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,719
Speaker 1: This is your issue.

103
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: It's a national issue, not a local issue.

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: Now, does anybody, regardless of their political or economic acumen,

105
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: doubt this reality that if you charge me more to

106
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: live in a place, I am less likely to live

107
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: there or stay there. Now, it is true that Not

108
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: everybody will leave. People have reasons for staying. I have

109
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: a longtime business partner who lives in the northern part

110
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: of California, the San Fernando Valley, northern part of Los Angeles,

111
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,840
Speaker 1: I should say, not the northern part of California, northern

112
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 1: part of Los Angeles, in the San Fernando Valley, not leaving.

113
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: I have yelled at him, I have called him names,

114
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: I have said things insultingly about his cousins. I don't

115
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: know his cousins. I can't believe it, can't believe you're staying.

116
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: But he has family reasons to remain. Right, there's always

117
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: someone who's going to stay. But as a matter of

118
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: just a general principle, if you charge me too much,

119
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,719
Speaker 1: I can't exist in it anymore, especially when I can

120
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,880
Speaker 1: exist elsewhere. Right. If there are no other options, then

121
00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm stuck. If there are other options, then you must

122
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: be competitive. This is such a standard thought to the capitalist,

123
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: to the rational mind. I didn't say a single thing

124
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: political in that if you have options, if you have choices,

125
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: you may make those other choices based on cost, and

126
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: the more expensive option one is maybe the more attractive

127
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: option two is that's not crazy, Elizabeth Warren, Oh, hold

128
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 1: on to your hats.

129
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 2: The issue is affordability. Do you know how many working

130
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: families are chased out of New York City every day

131
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: because they can't afford housing, they can't afford groceries, they

132
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 2: can't afford childcare.

133
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: What Zorn is saying is.

134
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 2: I want people to be able to afford to live

135
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,480
Speaker 2: in New York City. That's what keeps a vibrant city,

136
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 2: that's what makes people want to live.

137
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 3: Nobody disagrees with that, senator, But raising taxes in order

138
00:07:59,200 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: to do it?

139
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Why is that answer?

140
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 2: Oh dear, are you worried that billionaires are going to

141
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: go hungry?

142
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: And there it is. The rational argument is you're raising

143
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: taxes on these people. You're going after these people. They

144
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: won't stick around. And the response from Senator Elizabeth Warren

145
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: is one of mocking, one of shaming, one of attacking,

146
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 1: one of attempting the concept of emasculation. Listen to how

147
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: she responds.

148
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: People to be able to afford to live in New

149
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 2: York City, that's what keeps it a vibrant city, that's

150
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 2: what makes people want to leave.

151
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 3: Nobody disagrees with that senator, but raising taxes in order

152
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: to do it.

153
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 1: Why is that the answer?

154
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: Oh dear, are you worried that billionaires are going to

155
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 2: go hungry?

156
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 3: No, I'm worried that they're going to leave and spend

157
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: their money elsewhere.

158
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: You know, they've.

159
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: Threatened to do that over and over, and now they have.

160
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: They left. Here's and Goldman Sachs. When they create new jobs,

161
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 3: they do it in Dallas. Blackstone won't build a new headquarter.

162
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: That's pointing to the data. Here's what your high tax

163
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: policies have wrought. And what about the fact that the

164
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,160
Speaker 1: taxes are already incredibly high, the services are not incredibly great.

165
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: Maybe there is a problem with these leftists they keep electing.

166
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: What does Senator Elizabeth Warren say? Boohoo, she's trying to

167
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: do her very best impression of the sopranos. Oh boy,

168
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: you she hates you. You know that right. Elizabeth Warren hates

169
00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,199
Speaker 1: the fact that you think you should be allowed to

170
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 1: keep your money. She loves the fact that she's going

171
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 1: to tax you more, and she thinks it's just glorious

172
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: that you would complain, because you shouldn't have a right

173
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: to complain. Now, what you're going to say to me

174
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: is Tony, I'm not a billionaire millionaire. I'm not even

175
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: a millionaire, So what does it matter to me? It

176
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:09,680
Speaker 1: matters to you because it is a philosophy. Margaret Thatcher,

177
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, explained, the

178
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of

179
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: other people's money. This is the fact to keep in

180
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: your head at all times. In order for the socialist

181
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: day communists Elizabeth Warren to function, Bernie Sanders to function,

182
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: Zoronmum Donnie to function, in order for Tim Walls in

183
00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 1: Minnesota to function, Gaven Newsom, et cetera, they must have

184
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: access to your cash if as is being pointed out

185
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: by CNBC. Right there, that's David Faber asking the questions.

186
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: He's one of the original hosts of Squawkbox, which is

187
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: their morning show. You already have people leaving, You already

188
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:06,319
Speaker 1: have headquarters not being built in New York because they

189
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: can't afford to build in New York. To which you

190
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: note that Elizabeth Warren, the Cenator from Massachusetts, dismisses that idea.

191
00:11:14,679 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: Why because facts and reality get in the way of

192
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: the socialist and ake communist fantasy. The fact is the enemy,

193
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 1: the feeling, the idea is what matters, and the answer

194
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: is let them leave, we'll tax more. But this is

195
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 1: the point, this is why it affects you, even if

196
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: you're not a billionaire nor a millionaire, because eventually, as

197
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of people's u you

198
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: run out of other people's money, and the billionaires leave.

199
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: The millionaires are next, because what they're not going to

200
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: change their ideology, their philosophy, They're not going to leave

201
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: the cult. Simply, the issue is you're not paying enough, millionaire,

202
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 1: and then the millionaire leaves, and the person who makes

203
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: seven hundred thousand a year they're not paying enough, and

204
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 1: eventually the person who makes thirty four six hundred dollars

205
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: a year is not paying enough. They never learn, They

206
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 1: only know how to take. She is confronted with the

207
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: reality that people are indeed leaving and businesses are not

208
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: growing in the city, and her answer is more taxes.

209
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: Oh poor you, who cares about you? Just give me

210
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 1: your money, Bernie please, Oh no, no, there's no money.

211
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:40,560
Speaker 1: Whey boy. That's actually audio of Elizabeth Warren and Bernie

212
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 1: Sanders and Acassia Cortez, Jasmine Crockett Ayana Presley. She did

213
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: to leave Ilano, mar Chris van Holland, Dick Derman. Oh god,

214
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 1: I just got winded. Who who? I should have just

215
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 1: said Democratic Party and moved on with the day. Confronted

216
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: with reality. They do not stop. Elizabeth Warren is never

217
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 1: going to stop, and which is why we have to

218
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: keep winning elections because people like her can never ever

219
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 1: ever be allowed power. Elizabeth Warren gets power again, you

220
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: are going to pay for it. No, no, literally, you're

221
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: going to pay. I'm Tony Katz. This is Tony Katz today,
