00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 2: of gas comes down, new York State increases the tax

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: to keep it where it is. So gas is two

13
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: fifty everywhere, but in California and New York they keep

14
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:47,000

32
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 4: Chuck Schumer continues to just show what a complete idiot

33
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 4: and the putts he really is. It's just disgraceful what

34
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 4: this guy is still in office. But I don't know

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 4: if you saw this. I saw a posted somewhere that

36
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 4: some film companies looking for as many cops and firem

37
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: and as they can find because they're doing a giant

38
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: documentary on the after nine to eleven illnesses and cancers

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 4: that came about. I don't know if you saw anything,

40
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: knew anything about that? No, but no acting experience needed.

41
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: Well, obviously they want to people, you know, sounds like

42
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 2: a documentary kind of thing. But interesting. Yeah, you're right

43
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: about Schumer because uh, he's really the poster boy for

44
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 2: term limits. He is just an old dinosaur, this old fossil,

45
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: this useless bureaucrat who gets nothing done except for donors.

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 2: And you wonder, how the hell did that guy stay there?

47
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: How does he get reelected donor service? That's what he's

48
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 2: known for. They all got his cell phone and is

49
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: even the Republican donors. They'll as they'll tell you, I

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 2: can wake that guy up at two in the morning.

51
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 2: He'll do whatever I need. That's Chuck Schumer. That's that's

52
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 2: been his main business for all these years. Let's go

62
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: York State budget, New York City budget. You know, Florida

63
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120

64
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 2: bigger population than New York State, It has more big

65
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: cities than New York State. Their budget is half the

66
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: budget in New York State. Half. We could cut our

67
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 2: budget in half. You know what that means. It means

68
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 2: your taxes get cut in half. New York City, we

69
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: could cut this budget in half. That means your taxes

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: get cut in half. You're overpaying like crazy for all

71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 2: that waste and fraud and bloat. Let's go to Richard

Speaker 2: because it comes out all red and green and blue,

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,360
