Now, there's some days 4 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:14,920 Speaker 3: where you go, ah, what am I going to talk 5 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 3: about today? This is not one of those days. There's 6 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 3: great stuff to get to today. We'll get to Prince 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 3: Andrew arrested. We'll get to the Guthrie story. We'll get 8 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:26,280 Speaker 3: to Stephen Colbert, crazy little mayor Mom Donnie. We'll get 9 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 3: to Iran and a whole lot more just ahead. Hey, 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 3: here's some good news. First of all, spring four weeks 11 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,880 Speaker 3: from now, daylight saving time two weeks from now. Here's 12 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 3: some great news. This is the first day that alternate 13 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,559 Speaker 3: side parking is back. That means the snow problem is 14 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 3: officially over. Now. When the snow was piled up everywhere 15 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: and you couldn't there were no parking spaces, they had 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: to suspend that alternate side of the street parking. I 17 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 3: whatever the hell that is. You got to keep moving 18 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 3: your car. But it's back. They put it back in 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: a this morning, which means officially the snow crisis is over. 20 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 3: And yesterday's complaining about all the garbage piled up on 21 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 3: the street. Here it's gone today. So things are moving 22 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,840 Speaker 3: along as far as garbage and snow. The rest of 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 3: the city total disaster with Mom Donnie. We'll get to 24 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 3: him in a moment. The big breaking news this morning 25 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,480 Speaker 3: Prince Andrew was arrested at eight am a British time, 26 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 3: eight am, which would have been the middle of the 27 00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: night here, But we all woke up to find out 28 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 3: that Prince Andrew had been arrested. Now, King Charles, Prince William, 29 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 3: they all say they didn't know about it, they weren't 30 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 3: told about it, that this arrest was strictly the government 31 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 3: doing this. Strictly the government involved in the arrest of 32 00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 3: Prince Andrew. Now it has to do with the Epstein files. 33 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: But it's not about sex, it's not about underage women. 34 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,960 Speaker 3: It's about passing along state secrets. Now, a guy like 35 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: Empstein trades in a lot of stuff and one reason, 36 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: you know, he had all these billionaires and all these 37 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: big business guys and foreign leaders all hanging around him. 38 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 3: In some cases they enjoyed some of the women, but 39 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 3: in many of these cases they were around Epstein because 40 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 3: he could get them stuff information. And apparently Prince Andrew 41 00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: for many years, you know, believe it or not, way 42 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,360 Speaker 3: back when the Queen thought of Prince Andrew as her 43 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: favorite son, not Prince Charles. It was Prince Andrew that 44 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 3: was her favorite son. She thought so much of him 45 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 3: that she kind of forced the government to give him 46 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: a big job, and he was made the official trade 47 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 3: envoy for Great Britain. It's something a lot of people 48 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 3: thought was kind of a ceremonial thing, but you could 49 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 3: make it into something serious. You went around the world 50 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 3: as the trade representative, as the envoy to all the 51 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 3: different countries, and if you knew what you were doing, 52 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 3: and apparently Prince ann Andrew did, you could pick up 53 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: a lot of information, a lot of inside intel about 54 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 3: trade deals about foreign stuff. And these are state secrets 55 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: that when you come back there belong to the government, 56 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 3: their secrets. And I guess they've looked through the emails 57 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 3: and enough stuff that they've decided that Prince Andrew was 58 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 3: This was always the suspicion, but they've decided he was 59 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: passing stuff along to Jeffrey Epstein, who was then passing 60 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: it along to his clients, his business clients, and it 61 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 3: apparently he's in the email. So they've got and they 62 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 3: must have found enough hard evidence, digitally, computer whatever they've 63 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 3: decided Andrew was not selling but trading state secrets. It's 64 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 3: a very serious crime. This is a kind of crime 65 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 3: where you could really go to prison, and it's great Britain. 66 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 3: Who knows, maybe they maybe they still have hanging over there. 67 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 3: I don't know, but it's a very very serious thing. 68 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 3: Andrew was arrested early this morning's birthday. He was arrested 69 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: on his birthday. He's the first Royal family member to 70 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 3: be arrested in four hundred years. So it's a fascinating situation. 71 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: He got the Prime Minister who last night, in the 72 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 3: middle of a speech, in the middle of nowhere, just 73 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: in the speech, started talking about how no one is 74 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: above the law. Now, he just threw that into the speech. 75 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 3: Nobody thought anything of it at the time, but he 76 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 3: obviously knew that hours later they were going to arrest 77 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,479 Speaker 3: Prince Andrew. So he actually threw that into the speech 78 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: about how no one is above the law. He made 79 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 3: a big deal out of that, and I guess proved 80 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:42,479 Speaker 3: it this morning. And you can always you've gotten the 81 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: feeling that there's something some bad blood between Prince Charles 82 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 3: and Prince Andrew. Prince Charles particularly cruel to him taking 83 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: away every title he had. You could take away the prince, 84 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,359 Speaker 3: but he took away every other title, every little title. 85 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 3: He threw him out of his house. He had to 86 00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 3: leave his castle, moved to us castle. Can you imagine 87 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,239 Speaker 3: the humiliation of having to move to a smaller castle. 88 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 3: So he's under arrest. You know, when it comes to 89 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 3: this royal family, they're like the biggest welfare case in 90 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 3: the world. Nobody can figure out what the hell these 91 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 3: people do all day. They get a fortune from the 92 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 3: government for castles and coaches and all those Buckingham Palace 93 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: type guards and all this pomp and circumstance. They're all 94 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: multi zillionaires. The royal family has billions of dollars and 95 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:34,280 Speaker 3: nobody knows what the hell do they do all day? 96 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 3: I mean, if you're a member the royal family you 97 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 3: want to call in sick, who would you even call? 98 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 3: Who would even miss you? I mean basically all you do? 99 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 3: What do they do? Actually, I guess the biggest job 100 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,839 Speaker 3: they have is when there's a big parade. They sit 101 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 3: there in the stand and they wave as the parade 102 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: goes by. Reviewing a parade, that's their big function in life. 103 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 3: So I guess. No matter what you know, they say, 104 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: Oh the Queen was still still working at ninety eight. 105 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: You're just sitting there watching a parade. How hard is that. 106 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 3: Maybe you got a wave, it's not. As long as 107 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: your arm can move, you can be a member of 108 00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: the royal family. So here's the other thing. Nancy Guthrie. 109 00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 3: Nancy Guthrie, Now this is interesting. The DNA was not 110 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 3: in the DNA base, but you could still get stuff 111 00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 3: out of the DNA. We have a database of twenty 112 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 3: two million people who DNA we have on file. It's 113 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 3: mostly people that have been arrested, criminals, maybe military, law enforcement, 114 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 3: and sometimes people that have used those what do you 115 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 3: call those like an ancestry dot com where you go 116 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,560 Speaker 3: check your DNA. Hey, by the way, there's a bunch 117 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: of those services where you can send in your DNA 118 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 3: and they can tell you your whole ancestry. Send it to 119 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 3: three different services, you'll get three different answers. Don't rely 120 00:06:55,560 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: on those too much, but they still say, even though 121 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 3: the DNA doesn't match anybody, even though they don't get 122 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 3: a name of somebody, that there's things you can tell 123 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: from the DNA. You can get an idea of the 124 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 3: race background, maybe coloring something like that. There's stuff they 125 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: can get out of the DNA. Now here's the other 126 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 3: thing they've been doing, and I didn't A lot of 127 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: people don't know that you can do this. You know, 128 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 3: if you're a criminal, they can come grab your computers 129 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 3: and all that and look and see what you were 130 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 3: doing on your computer. And I guess you know that 131 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 3: they could also go to Google and get the record 132 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 3: of your Google searches. You know you're a criminal, they 133 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 3: can go see what were you searching, you know, and 134 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: they'll say, oh, this guy was searching how to make 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 3: a bomb or you know, how to do how to 136 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: kidnap somebody. Well, then then they'd have evidence against you. 137 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 3: But there's such a thing as a reverse Google search, 138 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 3: so they can go to Google and they can get 139 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 3: a hold all the searches of everybody. So they've apparently 140 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 3: been doing that. Now the local police are not going 141 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 3: to be able to pull this off, but the FBI 142 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: is involved and they know how to do this. So 143 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 3: the FBI has been working with Google for the last 144 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: week or two checking reverse searches. So they're looking to 145 00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 3: see who, if anyone who went on Google and searched 146 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 3: where does Nancy Guthrie live or what is Nancy Guthrie's address, 147 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: so they can see who's been searching that. They can see, 148 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 3: you know, who's been researching that and then searching doing 149 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:36,840 Speaker 3: Google searches on Savannah Guthrie. So let's say somebody was 150 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,559 Speaker 3: Google searching how much does Savannah Guthrie make? What's her 151 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 3: net worth? Then they're searching what is Nancy Guthrie's address, 152 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: that kind of stuff, and then you can see who's 153 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 3: searched that. So if they, you know, you may not realize, 154 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,320 Speaker 3: they can do a reverse Google search and then they'll 155 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 3: see what computer it came from, and then they'll track 156 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: down that computer. So they're looking at the weeks and 157 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 3: months leading up to the kidnapping and to see who 158 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: it is. Strange things have come out, you know. Nancy 159 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 3: Savannah Guthrie wrote a book way back when biography and 160 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: people have noticed that. In the book, Savannah Guthrie said 161 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 3: that as when she was a little kid, her sisters 162 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 3: and the family and the aunt played a little game 163 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 3: where they would kidnap each other. Well, it's that eerie. 164 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,520 Speaker 3: They would kidnap each other and then go to the 165 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 3: ant's house or something and then call their mother and say, 166 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 3: we've been kidnapped. Come get I mean, I've never have 167 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 3: you ever heard of anybody playing a game like that. 168 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:43,720 Speaker 3: Very strange. Now that was in her book. Maybe that's 169 00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 3: why people started suspecting family members of being involved. But 170 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,319 Speaker 3: the police have said absolutely not. They don't think any 171 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 3: think they've cleared every family member they believe. Hey, the 172 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: State of the Union addresses coming up on Tuesday. This 173 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: Tuesday's big State of the Union addressed. Now this is 174 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,959 Speaker 3: an important thing because it's the one time the whole 175 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:08,480 Speaker 3: nation watches President Trump and he can start to explain 176 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 3: all this stuff. You know, Democrats have created this whole 177 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 3: fake narrative that the economy is bad, we're in an 178 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 3: affordability crisis, when in fact, inflation has come down dramatically, 179 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:24,679 Speaker 3: real wages are up, economy is doing much better than before. 180 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 3: You don't get a waste to go, but it's been 181 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,320 Speaker 3: incredible improvement in just the first year. So he can 182 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: lay out all the numbers and clear up that myth. 183 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 3: So people will for the first time here that even 184 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 3: with ice, he can explain what they've done. You know, 185 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 3: people think they're just going out in the street harassing people. 186 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 3: But he can start listing who they've arrested and just 187 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 3: run down how many dangerous criminals, how many rapists, how 188 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 3: many robbers. So it's a chance to get the facts 189 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 3: out to the nation. That's for President Trump. Now for 190 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 3: the Democrats, every time we have a State of the Union, 191 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 3: it's a chance for them to embarras themselves again. Democrats 192 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 3: have this new tradition of totally embarrassing themselves at every 193 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 3: State of the Union. Remember the Nancy Pelosi ripping up 194 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 3: the speech just like a ridiculous tantrum, you know, childish tantrum. 195 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,959 Speaker 3: Remember the Democrats booing. Remember when President Trump introduced the 196 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: poor kids suffering from cancer, and they refuse to applaud 197 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 3: for him. Remember he had the great hero and had 198 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 3: them take about the Democrats refuse to applaud. So they 199 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: always use every State of the Union as a chance 200 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,400 Speaker 3: to completely embarrass themselves and turn off America. So they'll 201 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,599 Speaker 3: do it again this Tuesday night. Now here's one of 202 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 3: the things they're planning. Many of them are planning not 203 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,960 Speaker 3: to go to the State of the Union and instead 204 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 3: have a State of the Union of their own State 205 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 3: of the Union. Rally. Let me see, it's called the 206 00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 3: People's State of the Union. Multiple Democrats are planning to 207 00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: do that. It'll be on the National Mall near the Capital, 208 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: and the lefty media outlet midas Touched and progressive group 209 00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 3: move on dot org are organizing this now. Hakeem Jeffries, 210 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 3: for instance, No, his plan is to attend the State 211 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:18,240 Speaker 3: of the Union said as a House leader, it's he's 212 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 3: got to do. But many of these Democrats will be 213 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 3: at this alternate one. So President of the United States 214 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 3: State of the Union in the Great Da Hall and 215 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 3: Congress that has one look to it. And then you'll 216 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 3: see Democrats on the National Mall yelling and screaming and chanting. 217 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 3: Obviously they'll have the worst signs about Hitler and Nazi 218 00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,480 Speaker 3: or whatever. So again, Democrats always use the State of 219 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 3: the Union to completely completely embarrass themselves. Hey, mom, Donnie 220 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: threatening to raise property tax ten percent, which is absolutely insane. 221 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 3: Obviously New York. If you live in New York City, 222 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: property tax is crazy. It's already insane, just awful if 223 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 3: you live in Long Island. It's always been bad. Good 224 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:07,319 Speaker 3: thing for Bruce Blake when he's done everything he can 225 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 3: to fight that and take care of that. New Jersey 226 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 3: it's still pretty bad. Westchester, it's pretty bad. But New 227 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 3: York City property tax is absolutely ridiculous, So to raise 228 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 3: it ten percent is totally insane. You should be literally 229 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 3: put in in a looney bin for even suggesting it. Mom, 230 00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 3: Donnie who's never had a job, never manage anything, comes 231 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,360 Speaker 3: into Can you mention never had a job? Can you 232 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 3: mention if you never had a job in your first 233 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:35,960 Speaker 3: job was at a little company where you were in 234 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 3: charge of the budget and the bookkeeping, you wouldn't even 235 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 3: know how to handle it. You can imagine your first 236 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 3: job is handling the budget of New York City. Now, 237 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: first of all, the budget in New York City is ridiculous. 238 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,839 Speaker 3: It's one hundred and twenty billion dollars a year. It 239 00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 3: should be about twelve billion. Most cities, Chicago, cities like that, 240 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 3: the budget's about ten billion. So it happened to be 241 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 3: one hundred and twenty billion. That's more than most states. 242 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 3: That's more than the date of Florida's budget, one hundred 243 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:04,559 Speaker 3: and twenty billion. It should be actually should be cut 244 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 3: by about seventy five percent. But let's say you just 245 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,959 Speaker 3: cut it in half. It's all waste, fraud, bloat. You 246 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 3: could easily cut it in half and cut the taxes 247 00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 3: in half, but it's one hundred and twenty billion. He 248 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 3: wants to increase it, put more property tax. 249 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 4: What we put forward was what we characterized as actions 250 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 4: of last resort. I described them as last resort because 251 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 4: we have a broken property tax system in the city. 252 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 4: What we are hoping for, what we will spend every 253 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 4: day looking towards, is working with Albany to increase taxes 254 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 4: on the wealthiest and the most profitable corporations such that 255 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 4: a fiscal crisis is not resolved on the backs of 256 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 4: working in middle class New Yorkers. 257 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 3: Kah, hell is he talking about first? He says, So 258 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 3: it be last resort, last resort. You've been in office 259 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 3: two weeks. Two weeks. He already at your last resort. 260 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 3: That should be happening in the two years. Our property 261 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 3: tax system is broken. Yeah, because it's way too high. 262 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 3: So he wants to increase it. Every expert analyzing this 263 00:14:58,800 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: says he's completely insane. 264 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: Mandane's actually been mayor for forty nine days. I find 265 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 2: it amusing that he refers to this as his last resort. 266 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 2: Option We've literally been in office, you know, the snow'sman 267 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: on the ground the entire time that he's been in office, 268 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,360 Speaker 2: and he wants to already raise New Yorker's taxes. Look, 269 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 2: this is this is catastrophic because we already pay the 270 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 2: high New York has already paid the highest among the 271 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 2: highest taxes in the country. New York City, which of 272 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: course has an additional tax in addition to state income tax, 273 00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: is excruciating the high tax. 274 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: Okay, he said what I said, but it sounds better 275 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 3: when he says it. You have a bitish accent and 276 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 3: you speak, you sound like a genius. Sounds much better 277 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 3: coming from him. 278 00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 2: Property prices are very high in New York, so the 279 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 2: plan he has will hit not just the rich, as 280 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,880 Speaker 2: they keep claiming, but huge numbers of middle class taxpayers. 281 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 2: So yeah, this is socialism and action. This is the 282 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 2: Democratic Party in action. Ifink, the rest of the country 283 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 2: is watching now. 284 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: When you raise property tax, rents go up. Because somebody 285 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,640 Speaker 3: owns your building and the property tax goes up ten percent, 286 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: that person now has to increase your rent by ten 287 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 3: percent to cover the new property tax. So he's gonna 288 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: if you have an increase in property tax. You're raising 289 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 3: the rent on everybody, middle class, lower class, everybody, everybody. 290 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 3: Now here's the good news. As I've been telling you, 291 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 3: we got for the first time in a lot of years, 292 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 3: a city council president who's normal, common sense. She's a Democrat, 293 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 3: but a common sense, old fashioned, normal democrat. She is. 294 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 3: It would actually be the city council that have to 295 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 3: raise the property taxes. She says she will not do it. 296 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 5: The governor has made clear that she is not raising taxes. 297 00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,560 Speaker 5: So with that said, we think we need to really 298 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 5: focus on saving. We cannot be raising property taxes on 299 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 5: the back of small property owners, on the backs of renchers, 300 00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 5: on the back of small businesses. That will worsen the 301 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 5: affordability crisis. So that is clearly off the table for us. 302 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,600 Speaker 3: Hey, you go off the table. So hey, you know 303 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: Kevin O'Leary, shark tank mister. Wonderfully they had him on 304 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 3: CNN with all these lefties yelling and screaming about how 305 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 3: you have to tax the rich and have more proper 306 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 3: He taxed therew. So listen to Kevin O'Leary. He was 307 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 3: in the middle of this. They said, do you have 308 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 3: any final words? He said, yes, you're all nuts. So 309 00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:12,040 Speaker 3: they were all young.
