1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Like all that, Mom, Donna, guys kind of a it's

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting speaker. And the only problem is

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 1: he just keeps quoting talking about all these foreigners. I mean,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: I guess there's nothing throw in that, but yeah, what

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: about America? And I wasn't quite as enthralled in by

6
00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: guiled and he said a good socialist, Okay, neat, Well,

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:28,639
Speaker 1: we're gonna do a.

8
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: Little history in this, at least in this segment and

9
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 2: and then we'll move on. But when I listened to

10
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:39,960
Speaker 2: the speech, it's he's really angry. He's shouting the speech.

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: He's not speaking in a normal, you know, like empathetic

12
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: or kind of embracing tone. He's yelling at the crowd. Uh,

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 2: yells at Trump. If he thinks he's taking on Trump,

14
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 2: then you know, have that. It is kind of like

15
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 2: Gavin Newsom have at it. And later in the program,

16
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: we're gonna talk about Trump arrangement syndrome because it's very real.

17
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 2: And I think that's what we witnessed this past Tuesday

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 2: was a lot of Trump and arrangement syndrome exposing itself

19
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 2: in blue states where you would expect it to be exposed.

20
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 2: But I kept hearing throughout the day yesterday about this

21
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: acceptance speech, and quite honestly, I had not listened to it.

22
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 2: So I decided to listen to it. And these fifty

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:27,960
Speaker 2: seconds are what caught my attention.

24
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 3: Standing before you, I think of the words of Juan

25
00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: La Neu. Now I thought to.

26
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 4: Myself, wait a minute, you just got elected to you know, the.

27
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: One of the original capitals of the country of the

28
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,320
Speaker 2: United States of America.

29
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 4: You know, you got George Washington facing.

30
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 2: The bridge, the red Coat at a pivotal moment in

31
00:01:54,680 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 2: New York. It's the financial capital of the world. It's

32
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: the place so nice they named it twice. It's it's

33
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: the center of the universe. Now, if you're a New Yorker,

34
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: you actually believe that. I don't, but they think it's

35
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 2: the center of the universe. But it's also the place

36
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 2: where America was in terms of other than Pearl Harbor,

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:29,639
Speaker 2: where we were attacked on American soil and lost at

38
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 2: that location down on ground zero, more than twenty seven

39
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: hundred souls, all to Gie Hawtie Terriss. And rather than

40
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: being grateful for having won an election, he's such an ideologue,

41
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: he's such a fanatic that he can't quote Jefferson, Lincoln Washington.

42
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 4: He can't.

43
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: He could even quote Oh I don't know, hey, Benjamin

44
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: Harrison Harrison Ford about Harrison Ford. Did you know he

45
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 2: was a president? You didn't know that?

46
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 5: Get off my plane?

47
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 4: No, that was Clint Eastwood. Oh that was Ford.

48
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: I'll get off my plane. That's right, that's wrong on

49
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 2: Air Force one. Yes, get off my plane. He didn't

50
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 2: quote anybody. He quoted Nehru.

51
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: Standing before you. I think of the words of Juan

52
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: La Nehru.

53
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 5: A moment everybody just cheers.

54
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: I know, I find that first if if my theory

55
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 2: about the highly educated but the mostly not well educated people,

56
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 2: do you really think they knew who who Nehrew is?

57
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: Or you know, do they just think nery jackets? You know,

58
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: I just I'm gonna wear a nery jacket, not even nerw.

59
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 5: But do they think that I don't even know there

60
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 5: was such a thing called nerew jacket.

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

62
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, come on, it's just cheering because

63
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: well he smiles, he has a well trimmed beard.

64
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 5: You know, you know what happens he said a name

65
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: and he paused for a moment, start cheering.

66
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,119
Speaker 3: Standing before you. I think of the words of Juan

67
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: Lal Nehru. A moment comes but rarely in history, when

68
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 3: we step out from the old to the new, when

69
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 3: an age ends, and when the soul of a nation

70
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 3: long suppressed finds utterance.

71
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 4: A nation long oppressed. Yeah, he's quoting Nehrew.

72
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 3: All right, tonight, we have stepped out from the old

73
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: into the new. So let us speak now with clarity.

74
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 6: And conviction that cannot be misunderstood about what this new

75
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 6: age will deliver and for whom this will be an

76
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 6: age or New Yorkers expect from their leaders a bold

77
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 6: vision of what we will achieve, rather than a list

78
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 6: of excuses for what we are too timid to attempt.

79
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 2: And this it's like watching a version of the view.

80
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 4: That's what it is.

81
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: Nehru embedded a state led socialists oriented, I would say,

82
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: to be try to be objective a mixed economy in India.

83
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 2: But he did so through centralized planning, dominant public ownership

84
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 2: in all of the major industries and those that weren't.

85
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: You had extensive industrial licensing, and you had some allowance

86
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: or permitting of a small private sector although it was

87
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: highly regulated. And then he would frame reforms like the

88
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: Zamindari abolition, and selecting nationalization such as life insurance. Nationalizing

89
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 2: life insurance just as particular random example, all back in

90
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: nineteen fifty six. Now, I claim that because of some

91
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 2: of these policies he empowered jihatas, although many histories will

92
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: claim that's not supported by the historical record. His Kashmir policy,

93
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 2: preferring or referencing Pakistan's nineteen forty seven nineteen forty eight

94
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: aggression to the United Nations and is accepting Article three

95
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 2: seventies autonomy to most historians was truly secular and pragmatic,

96
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 2: but nonetheless it was controversial and subsequent Jihati militancy across

97
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 2: all those decades since then, mainly through Pakistan's sponsorship and

98
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,799
Speaker 2: all the dynamics of that period during the nineteen eighties,

99
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: the historians will argue that it was not Nehru's era's decisions,

100
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 2: though other critics another historians will argue that his un

101
00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: cease fire and his special status approach had the unintended

102
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: long term costs of empowering and giving them the Jihatis

103
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: that foothold in Pakistan and gave birth to this Islamist movement.

104
00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: But let's focus on the socialist architecture, because that the

105
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: whole Jihati thing is controversy, and you can argue both sides,

106
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: but you can't argue the socialist architecture of his policies.

107
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 2: Nehru created the Planning Commission in nineteen fifty. In nineteen fifty,

108
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 2: this Planning Commission, excuse no, I changed my glasses. I

109
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: have our dire reading my notes. The nineteen fifty Planning

110
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 2: Commission created what was called fire five year Plans, and

111
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: at the center of those five year plans was the state,

112
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 2: the government doing resource allocation and all the development strategy

113
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,840
Speaker 2: for a welfare state vision under his chairmanship as Prime Minister.

114
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 4: That was his goal.

115
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: Now, I just want you see that he quotes, not Washington,

116
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 2: not Jefferson, not Lincoln, he quotes Nehru. All I could

117
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 2: think about was those Planning Commissions of the nineteen fifty

118
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:37,319
Speaker 2: creating the five year plans, which is state resource allocation,

119
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:43,200
Speaker 2: state strategies, creating a welfare state vision under his chairmanship.

120
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: That was it.

121
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 2: The five year Plans started in nineteen fifty one and

122
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:51,679
Speaker 2: they continued for decades. The Second Plan nineteen fifty six

123
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: nineteen sixty one prioritized heavy industry and capital of goods,

124
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 2: and that was supposed to be the pathway to self

125
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 2: reliance and growth. Came along with the Industrial Policy Resolution.

126
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 2: Just listen to the language Industrial Policy Resolutions, both in

127
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 2: nineteen forty eight and then again in nineteen fifty six

128
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 2: that those two resolutions, those two policies under Nehrui's Prime Minister,

129
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: codified a socialist pattern of society. It reserved strategic industries

130
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: to the public sector. It expanded state primacy over every

131
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 2: aspect of life. It formalized a somewhat mixed economy because

132
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: you had to keep some little private sector of things

133
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 2: here and there, but they were heavily regulated and their

134
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 2: participation was based upon permission from the state. So this

135
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: Malahanabis model underpinned the second plan that emphasized rapid industrialization

136
00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: via basic and heavy industries, but only through state leadership

137
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 2: in the so called commanding heights, meaning that whatever the

138
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 2: strategy or the business plan that these private sector companies

139
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 2: would follow would be developed by the government. You might

140
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: say that, well, Michael, what you really describe me is fascism,

141
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: not socialism.

142
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 4: I would not disagree with you.

143
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 2: So we're going to tell all the heavy industries that

144
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: here's here's your business plan, and that business plan is

145
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 2: developed through all the bureaucrats, all the unelected bureaucrats serving

146
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 2: Nehru as the prime minister. This is what you're going

147
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:42,280
Speaker 2: to do and this is how you're going to do it. Yeah,

148
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: pretty much fascism.

149
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 4: Those are the.

150
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: Industrial policy Revolution Revolution. That was revolution Resolutions of nineteen

151
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: forty eight nineteen fifty six. Then you get to the

152
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: Second Plan. Second Plan included industrial licensing, import controls, price

153
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: and distribution regulation collectively they dubbed it, called it the

154
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 2: license Raj Raj and that grew from the early nineteen

155
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 2: fifties statutes, from the earlier plans, the nineteen fifty six

156
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 2: Industrial Policy Framework, and then the effect of that was

157
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: to constrain private sector entry, which then shaped India's post

158
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: independence industrial regime. Then you had all the selective nationalizations

159
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 2: that began under Neyrout And interestingly, it's always whenever you

160
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 2: go back in the history books, notably the Life Insurance

161
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 2: Corporation back in nineteen fifty six. So what they did

162
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: is they consolidated over two hundred insurers into a state

163
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 2: monopoly and the objective was to channel savings into development

164
00:11:53,880 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 2: and expand coverage as social justice. Yeah, so they took insurance,

165
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 2: consolidated all the two hundred private insurance companies into a

166
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: state monopoly, all with the hopes of channeling any savings

167
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: they might get, which they did not get. They didn't

168
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 2: get these savings, and then expand the coverage as a

169
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 2: social service, and of course it utterly failed. That's what

170
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,680
Speaker 2: that's that's what he's advocating. That's that's who he's quoting.

171
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 2: And I guarantee to you most Americans have no clue

172
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:36,080
Speaker 2: about this history. Then there was all the land in

173
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: an industrial buildout that Nerw did post independence from the Brits.

174
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:49,959
Speaker 2: Post independence land reforms targeted all the intermediaries, the Zamnadars,

175
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: the Jagadars, the Undars, and that transferred rights to cultivators

176
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 2: and started restructuring all the agra in relations. And Nehru

177
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 2: endorsed intermediary abolition tenant protections as part of his social

178
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 2: democratic reforms. Does any of that sound familiar? So you're

179
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 2: going to impose tenant protections, oh, like abolishing evictions, rent controls,

180
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: all of that. He's following in the footsteps of Nehru

181
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,839
Speaker 2: and then large public sector steel plants. I don't remember

182
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 2: that there, I don't. I don't remember these names, but

183
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: I looked them up. Roquella, Bali and de Garpar. They

184
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 2: were launched as temples of modern India. The objective was

185
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 2: to advance heavy industry, but they couldn't do so on

186
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 2: their own, so they had to reach out to foreign

187
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 2: countries create technical partnerships. But everything was managed under state

188
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 2: enterprise management. That's what he's quoting. That's what he's advocating. Now,

189
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:16,000
Speaker 2: before I get to the economy itself, I don't think

190
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: that mom, Donnie's going to be able to do half

191
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: of what he thinks. That's not the issue. The issue is,

192
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: this is what he stands for. These are his internal

193
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 2: inherent beliefs. Why what else would you pick out of

194
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 2: all the people you could have quoted in an acceptance speech,

195
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: having been freely elected in a republican form of government.

196
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 2: You cite a socialist ascist that has industrial policies, that

197
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: has rent controls, tendant controls, all these social justice programs.

198
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: You're going to do by monopolizing things under state control.

199
00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 2: That's what you're going to do. That's what he wants

200
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 2: to do. It's not necessarily what he can do. Again,

201
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,000
Speaker 2: just trying to be objective, most of what Nehru did

202
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 2: was socialism and fascism. If you read most history books,

203
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 2: they'll describe it as a mixed economy because once again,

204
00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: government schools want to make certain that when I say

205
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: government schools here, i'm also talking about higher education, because

206
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 2: not anybody in government schools at a secondary level is

207
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 2: going to learn any of this. But once you get

208
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: into higher education mostly still run government schools. They don't

209
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: want you to know that this is really just another

210
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 2: version of fascism or socialism. So they refer to it

211
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 2: as a mixed economy because they will claim that the

212
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 2: private sector retains sort of a fairly wide field under

213
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,560
Speaker 2: state regulation, even as the state dominated all the strategic

214
00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 2: sectors of the economy. Now, in fairness, that does distinguish

215
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: India's path on socialism from full Soviet style nationalization. During

216
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: that era, the communists just took over everything. Neru just

217
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,800
Speaker 2: selected I think i'll take this, I'll take that, and

218
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 2: i'll take that. And mostly it was all the heavy

219
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 2: industries because why well, that allows allows you to build

220
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 2: up your military, so you use social controls and you

221
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 2: use socialism to build up your military. Now, while the

222
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 2: framework claims to have pursued self reliance, that framework also

223
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: pursued one other thing, one other item, one another word

224
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: that you had to recognize. He was trying Neyru was

225
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 2: trying to pursue and obtain equity for all of the Hindus,

226
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 2: the India's Indians, everyone in India.

227
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 4: Equity.

228
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 2: You read the scholarship and study about that. It faults

229
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 2: the dense licensees and all the state controls for inefficiency,

230
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:12,959
Speaker 2: rent seeking in slow growth.

231
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,199
Speaker 7: Michael and Redbeard, we couldn't have wrote a book that

232
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 7: would have been believable. Has said twenty five years after

233
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 7: nine to eleven they would elect a Democrat, communist, Muslim, Islamic.

234
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 7: I mean, this is out of this is crazy, and

235
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 7: you know, the biggest city in the US, and this

236
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 7: is what we've got to work with now, this is ridiculous.

237
00:17:41,200 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 5: Cannot go to a seven to eleven or donuts unless

238
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 5: you have a slight Indian accent.

239
00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: You can't go to a bodega in New York City

240
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 2: now without it being a rent controlled, price controlled bodega

241
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,239
Speaker 2: run by Indian with you know, slightly Indian accent. So

242
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 2: there you go. Biden will be happy. It's the Bidenization

243
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 2: of New York City.

244
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 5: And he's not joking.

245
00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,040
Speaker 2: He's not joking at all. He's not joking. I am

246
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 2: I'm not joking man, I'm serious man. By the way,

247
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,399
Speaker 2: before I get into a little more about Zoefram, if

248
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 2: you're looking to make your life more pleasurable or the

249
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 2: future more optimistic, do you want to listen to cal

250
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 2: Pins podcast interview Bill Ny the Pseudo Science Guy and

251
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,679
Speaker 2: Pete Boodajig.

252
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 4: That's that's going to make your That's what we're promoting.

253
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: I don't know about the booty jig part, but the

254
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: Bill Knight, the science Guy, there's always a warm place

255
00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,880
Speaker 5: in my heart for him because he had that science

256
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 5: show as a kid for me, So that that's kind

257
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 5: of like mister Wizard. You gotta look at that and

258
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,639
Speaker 5: you're like, oh, oh, so there's that soft spot, but

259
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:57,440
Speaker 5: oh he crazy.

260
00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: Joe, which pretty much makes up every part of your heart.

261
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,959
Speaker 2: It's you got soft spots, but it's all surrounded by crazy.

262
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,720
Speaker 4: Yeah. Yeah, okay, yeah, I was listening to that promo when.

263
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, you know, I've heard it like

264
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 2: incessantly all week long. And I'm thinking that's the last

265
00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 2: thing I'm gonna unless maybe I should listen to it

266
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 2: because I bet I can get some good soundbites out

267
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 2: of it.

268
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 5: And we have some breaking news though. Oh it is

269
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 5: Nancy Pelosi won't seek re election. Why she's one hundred

270
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 5: and thirteen years old?

271
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, all right about right.

272
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: Well, I just thought maybe you could tell me that

273
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: she was incapacitated or something, or she was mainly deranged, like,

274
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 2: you know, if she had done something like say that,

275
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 2: you know, Donald Trump was the worst thing ever in

276
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 2: the history of human race, then I would have said, yeah,

277
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: maybe she shouldn't run for reelection. But so she didn't

278
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,880
Speaker 2: say anything like that. Then I was just curious why

279
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 2: she might not be running. Well, the dinosaurs are starting

280
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 2: to go extinct, is what.

281
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 4: You're telling me about time. William F.

282
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 2: Buckley once famously equipped something to the effect that he

283
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 2: would rather be governed by the first two thousand name

284
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 2: and names. I think it was the Boston phone Book

285
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 2: than he would by the Harvard Faculty. Well, New York

286
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 2: City is about to be governed by the Columbia student Body,

287
00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: the Columbia University student Body, So a city that used

288
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: to think of itself as grown up, has just elected

289
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: a mayor that seems to be the very embodiment of

290
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: the modern American college student, uninformed, entitled, self important, and

291
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 2: enjoying a regal quality of life that depends parasitically upon

292
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 2: a nation about which he knows nothing yet for which

293
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 2: he has nothing but scorn, and in giving his acceptance

294
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:04,679
Speaker 2: speech can only refer to Nehru who absolutely just just

295
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 2: slightly worse than the old Soviet Union just socialized and

296
00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:15,640
Speaker 2: communized India. Now I know that American college students, particularly

297
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 2: from Columbia regular or CU Boulder doesn't mean different, regularly

298
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 2: act out these little psychodramas of oppression. And everything's about oppression, right,

299
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 2: And it's always in front of an audience of you know,

300
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 2: their their their provost, their associate deans, their professors, everybody

301
00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 2: who just is gleefully collapsed. Oh yes, I thought you

302
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 2: so well about oppression and so wonderful. Well, guess guess

303
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 2: what Zoe fram is the quintessential product of government run

304
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,560
Speaker 2: schools like that, although Columbia is not government run, but

305
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:54,760
Speaker 2: nonetheless from from from the education system in this country.

306
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 2: And now he's going to take all this performative art

307
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 2: to the biggest stage in the world. The city so

308
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 2: nice they named it twice. Now his governing agenda, as

309
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:11,119
Speaker 2: he admits, is you know, he quotes Nehru, not Washington Jefferson.

310
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 2: But it also reflects his background, his family background, his education,

311
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,119
Speaker 2: and his I would say post college career, but I'm

312
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 2: not quite sure what that is. He was born in

313
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 2: nineteen ninety one to a professor of post colonial studies

314
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 2: and a filmmaker.

315
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,679
Speaker 4: Post colonial studies.

316
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 2: I bet the word imperialism, and I bet the word tyranny,

317
00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,040
Speaker 2: and I bet the word white nationalists. I bet all

318
00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: of those things were all a part of that curriculum.

319
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 2: Then they moved to New York City from Uganda nineteen

320
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: ninety nine so his father, mack Mood, could teach in

321
00:22:55,960 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: Columbia Universities Middle Eastern, Southern, Asian and African Department. You know,

322
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 2: where you go to study so you don't end up

323
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 2: having a job. He also directed to the university's Institute

324
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: of African Studies, so he gets he gets just absolutely

325
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: nourished on academic anti westernism. Every time they sat down

326
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 2: at dinner, you can can you imagine the conversations you know,

327
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 2: the imperial president did this, and this oppressive country does

328
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 2: this while they're making a bowload of money as professors

329
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: at Columbian as a filmmaker, and you know, living living

330
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 2: the high life, you know, eating with their fingers whatever

331
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:40,040
Speaker 2: were great food they've got, and then they his father

332
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:48,040
Speaker 2: hosts people like Rashi Rashi Kaladi. Edward said, self avowed

333
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: communists at Columbia University. So now he's out there trying

334
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 2: to chant, you know, position himself as a champion of

335
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: the working class. He didn't go to New York's most

336
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: storied working class college, the public City College of New York.

337
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 4: He didn't go there. It costs about six thousand dollars

338
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 4: a year.

339
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Instead, he went to the favor of the private Boden College,

340
00:24:14,720 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 2: which is in a secluded retreat up in Maine, which

341
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: at the time he went was about sixty thousand dollars

342
00:24:21,359 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 2: a year.

343
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 4: So he could have you know, weren't. No, they weren't.

344
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:28,520
Speaker 2: They may have claim to be working class, but they weren't.

345
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 2: Because he didn't go to City College.

346
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 4: In New York. He went to Boden.

347
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: You know, I hadn't thought about Boden College in a

348
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 2: long time, so I quickly went to the National Association

349
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 2: of Scholars just to see how they described it. Listen

350
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 2: to this, Boden shifted from a core curriculum focused on

351
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: Western civilization to a focus on race, class, gender, and

352
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: the environment, aiming instead for a curriculum based on social justice.

353
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: If you ever doubt that what your kid is learning

354
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 2: in college is going to affect their worldview, then you're

355
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,159
Speaker 2: being a really lousy parent, and we are to have

356
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,159
Speaker 2: your parental rights taken away, because if you're not paying

357
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 2: attention to what your kid is learning in college, you're

358
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 2: probably raising a socialist or a communist. You're certainly raising

359
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: an anti Western individual, and shame on you. So your

360
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,560
Speaker 2: project today is start finding out what your rug rat

361
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 2: in college is learning. So that's Boden. That's where he

362
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:52,360
Speaker 2: went to school. Now, as I say today, that curriculum

363
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 2: is embodied with victim ideology, as documented by that National

364
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: Association of Scholars in twenty thirteen, the year before he graduated,

365
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 2: and then as an African Studies major, he would have

366
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:15,120
Speaker 2: taken courses like this, Race, Land and Disrepossession, critical Topics,

367
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 2: and environmental injustice and subaltern geography, all of which does

368
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: what it examines race, gender, and class and how that

369
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:28,880
Speaker 2: operates under racial capitalism. We got a new word, racial

370
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 2: capitalism and settler colonialism, both in the path and in

371
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:43,639
Speaker 2: contemporary life. Wow, when I criticize government run schools or

372
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: higher education, do you think I'm just bull crapping you?

373
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 5: Do?

374
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:48,159
Speaker 3: You know?

375
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: I'm telling you the truth about what's going on out there.

376
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: And if we ever want to stop this stupid trip

377
00:26:56,160 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: that we're on to absolute anarchy and true democracy, can

378
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:06,679
Speaker 2: you pay attention to secondary education? Actually, I guess we

379
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: have to start now, since we have free childcare and

380
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 2: for a free preschool for everybody. Government is indoctrinating your

381
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 2: child from the first time you let them go to

382
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: a government run facility.

383
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 4: I know, don't give me.

384
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: I know.

385
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 4: I can hear a few teachers out there go, I

386
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 4: don't teach that back, Michael, I don't do that.

387
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 2: I know you don't. And guess what, You're in the minority. Yes,

388
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,679
Speaker 2: you're in the minority. And I bet even if you're

389
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 2: a member of the teacher union, you're still in the minority.

390
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 2: Teacher unions run everything. Now, if he had gone to

391
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,240
Speaker 2: college ten years later, he probably would have been out

392
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: there leading those global chants or the chance of global

393
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:50,639
Speaker 2: into fada, and obviously from an anti Zionis encampment on

394
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,080
Speaker 2: this campus quad, it'saga what he had been doing. Now

395
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,119
Speaker 2: he did an arguably even more important thing for the

396
00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:04,119
Speaker 2: pro Palestinian cause. He founded Bowden's inaugural chapter of Students

397
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:15,439
Speaker 2: for Justice in Palestine. I I I'm befuddled, and I

398
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 2: know what. The easy answer is, the cabal. But where

399
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 2: was even the idiot Andrew Cuomo? Where was Curtis all

400
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 2: of this time?

401
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 4: Where was Oh?

402
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 2: I'm you know, I don't even know that. I've heard

403
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 2: some of this stuff on Fox News and it's I

404
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 2: get that. It's he's just a mayor. He's that he

405
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 2: didn't run for president, and not many former mayors of

406
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,160
Speaker 2: New York City have become president. Think about that. Go

407
00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 2: through the list. The closest you get might it's not

408
00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 2: even was he mayor? But would be Theodore Roosevelt in

409
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:59,640
Speaker 2: New Yorker or FDR, but again not mayor. From that

410
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 2: leadership position, Students for Justice in Palestine, the cafe wearing

411
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:07,240
Speaker 2: undergraduate tried to jump start a Bowden boy called it

412
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 2: Israeli Universities because he wrote regarding Israeli higher education both

413
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: actively and passively complicit in the crimes of both the

414
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 2: Israeli military and the Israeli government in all its settler

415
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: colonial forms. Jews ought to be scared to death.

416
00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 7: Mike.

417
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:44,440
Speaker 8: There are days when I feel like stupid is winning, Mike,

418
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 8: there are days when I feel like stupid is winning.

419
00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 4: Is that it? Yeah?

420
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 5: Okay, I agree, and might I add you must be

421
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 5: new here, and.

422
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 2: He gets an a for wanting to get it just right,

423
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:21,520
Speaker 2: just right? Yeah, so good for you. Why am I

424
00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: spending this inordinate amount of time on zofram One is

425
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: a member of the Democrat Socialists of America. That's the

426
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: ticket that he ran on. There are lots of other

427
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 2: people that come out of the Democrat Socialists of America.

428
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 2: We've already got all the members of the squad. They're everywhere.

429
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: One was running of Minneapolis. Fortunately, I don't think he won.

430
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:51,960
Speaker 2: We need to understand that the enemy within is peaking

431
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 2: its head outside the foxhole and is winning. Now what

432
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,760
Speaker 2: I haven't gotten to and I can't decide whether to

433
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 2: go ahead and do it or not. But the costs

434
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,520
Speaker 2: that are If you think the cost of living is

435
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: high now, you wait until he starts to implement some

436
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: of these policies.

437
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 4: Now, I think these we have a hard time doing it.

438
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,840
Speaker 2: Free, you know, freeze rents, free city buses, free universal childcare,

439
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: government operated grocery stores, and each of the five boroughs.

440
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that's all unrealistic. But it's now

441
00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: on the table. Five years ago, ten years ago, we

442
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 2: would have laughed at this. It's no longer a laughing matter.

443
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 2: When you want to decommodify housing, housing is just a

444
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 2: commodity that rent freeze would apply to nearly half of

445
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,760
Speaker 2: all the rentals in New York City, and those rents

446
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 2: are set by an appointed rent Guidelines Board, not by

447
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: the housing market. Those million or so rent stabilized apartments

448
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 2: make up a third of New York's homes, including owner

449
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 2: occupied homes, and even left wing economists have concluded that

450
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:10,680
Speaker 2: rent controls only produce what shortages. So no wonder it's

451
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 2: so expensive to live in New York. Yeah, for those

452
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,520
Speaker 2: with an undergraduate mindset, landlords are just greedy bastards that

453
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 2: just want to earn a market rent, whereas tenants enjoying

454
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 2: below market rent are merely receiving what's their fair share.

455
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:32,480
Speaker 2: Because those greedy landlords are making too much money. A

456
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 2: four year freeze, if he got it through, would decimate

457
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 2: the housing stock in New York. The small landlords, they're

458
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 2: already at death's door maintenance costs of twenty eight percent

459
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 2: over the past five years. Regulated rents will not cover repairs,

460
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,640
Speaker 2: property taxes, or the cost of a dead beet. Tenant

461
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 2: just simply doesn't pay. And because the advocacy industry and

462
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 2: how long it takes to evict a nonpayer about two years,

463
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 2: during which time the landlords wants to provide for all

464
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 2: the same services
