But she says, you know, 8 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,720 Speaker 2: existing in the context. 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: I like that. 10 00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 2: I think I think this might be what the kids say. Now, 11 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 2: so I'm going to steal it. 12 00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: I like to pretend I'm a kid sometimes same same. 13 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 1: All right, Well, we have some sad news to start 14 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 1: off the week with from my home state of North Carolina. 15 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: In the city of Charlotte, a young woman, a Ukrainian refugee, 16 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,960 Speaker 1: Arena Zutska Zutzka, in her twenties, was stabbed in late 17 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: August to death on a light rail train in the 18 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:56,400 Speaker 1: city of Charlotte. A surveillance video of this from the 19 00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: official light rail system was of an released. I have 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: seen the censored version. Beware out there of that video. 21 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: It is graphic and even if you see the censored version, 22 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: it's graphic and scary. She was stabbed unprovoked by a 23 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: man named de Carlos Brown sitting behind her on the train, 24 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 1: who out of nowhere decides to do this. I have 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: read up on him. He apparently has a schizophrenia diagnosis 26 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: of a rap sheet of fourteen arrests, many of them violent, 27 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: and yet was not in serving any time or in 28 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: any treatment. And this went viral. The video went viral 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,039 Speaker 1: about a week and a half after the murder. 30 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know, the thing is that the story 31 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: of this horrible incident, this horrible murder, is quickly becoming 32 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 2: why are Republican's pouncing on this? 33 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: And I don't find that. 34 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:00,040 Speaker 2: I mean, look, apart from the usual, it's obnoxious that 35 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 2: Republicans can ever be concerned about anything. We're always pouncing 36 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 2: or seizing or you know, grabbing the issue or whatever. 37 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 2: But like the idea of like, why do you care 38 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: about this crime where a man at random butcher's a 39 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: woman to death on public transportation, It's because we could 40 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 2: that could be any one of us, And that sense, 41 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,720 Speaker 2: that's why we're much more concerned about this than we 42 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: are about gang crime in Chicago, which we're also concerned about, 43 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: but just on a different level. And the thing is, 44 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 2: I'm not in a gang so I don't think I'm 45 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: going to get mixed up in the gang crime, although 46 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: innocent people do sometimes get mixed up. But to be 47 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 2: on public transport and have somebody behind me slaughter me 48 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: to death while I'm on my phone, I couldn't watch 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: the video. I don't sleep already. I can't add anything 50 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 2: to that. With the picture of him kind of lunging 51 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: at her and she's just looking at her phone and 52 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 2: she's doing exactly what I would be doing, what you 53 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: would be doing, that's terrifying, and of course it shakes 54 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 2: us to her and I don't understand this insane idea 55 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: that it shouldn't. 56 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 1: Well, Axios just to characterize this kind of coverage really 57 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: really went to the mats today with stabbing video fuels 58 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: maga's crime message. Many people, including this report but also 59 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: politicians in North Carolina are reacting as if, once again 60 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: the video is the problem. Yeah, I am begging Democrat 61 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: mayors to get angry or angrier about murders than they 62 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 1: are about people noticing murders. So the intro to this 63 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: Axios piece, the lead is MAGA influencers are drawing repeated 64 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban 65 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 1: crime and accuse mainstream media of undercovering shocking cases. Shocking 66 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: video the fatal August twenty second knife attack on twenty 67 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 1: three year old Arena Zarutska on a light rail car 68 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: in Charlotte, North Carolina dominated weekend conversation on Trump friendly 69 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: social Here's the thing. Why did it dominate conversation in 70 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: only center. It's because it didn't get any coverage elsewhere, 71 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,640 Speaker 1: and people thought, gee, I think a news story like 72 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: this with this visual element should be a large news story. 73 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: It should be part of our national discussion exactly. 74 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 2: So the next line of that piece is the big picture. 75 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 2: The rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including 76 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: on Charlotte's light rail, has become a big accelerant in 77 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 2: these cases. I think the accelerant is the violent crime. 78 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: Like that's what's actually causing all the commotion and hoopla 79 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: around it. It's the fact that a young woman was 80 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: slaughtered to death on public transportation by somebody who had 81 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 2: been arrested fourteen times. And I'm sorry, even if I 82 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,799 Speaker 2: didn't have the video, I would find this to be 83 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 2: just an egregious problem that has grown and really festered 84 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,280 Speaker 2: in major cities. 85 00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: Well, and they just missed the point so egregiously. Vy Lyles, 86 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: who is the Democratic mayor of Charlotte, released her first 87 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: statement this week Tuesday. This is local reporting. Lyles did 88 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: not mention the victim by name or discuss any specific 89 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,720 Speaker 1: measures this Charlotte area transit system or police are taking 90 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: to address safety on public transit. She focused on the 91 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: suspect and urged others not to demonize homeless people. This 92 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: is the same reversal of victim and offender as the 93 00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 1: Annunciation shooting, where lefties immediately go ye to defending the 94 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 1: identity of the person who just murdered people exactly and 95 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: focusing compassion and sympathy and empathy on that group, not 96 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: on the poor woman who was slaughtered on a train. 97 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: It is so warped to me that this would be 98 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: your go to, and yet it is now their go to. 99 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 1: It's really to just take the victim class, yeah, offender's class, 100 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,239 Speaker 1: and decide take to the streets on behalf of this. Yeah. 101 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 2: And it really did make me think, and I know 102 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: a lot of people's minds went there as well, about 103 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: how lucky the people on the New York City subway 104 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 2: were to have Daniel Penny there. Daniel Penny, of course, 105 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 2: was the man who was arrested and ultimately acquitted of 106 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: choking to death a homeless person on the New York 107 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: City subway who had been threatening other passengers in the car. 108 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 2: We all wish for Daniel Penny. There was another man 109 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 2: in the background or the picture that I saw, the 110 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: still of the murder in Charlotte, And you know, could 111 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 2: that person have stepped in, could they have grabbed the guy? 112 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 2: Maybe it all happened too fast, We can't possibly know, 113 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: but we all wish for more annual pennies, Like let's 114 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:02,479 Speaker 2: be serious here. 115 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: Well, and that's why I will never be a woman 116 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: of the left, because I am convinced that much like 117 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: the Daniel Penny case, if she had defended herself with 118 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: deadly force, or if someone had brought deadly force on 119 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: her behalf, that we would be having a conversation, you know, 120 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: we would deeply unfair to her and her defenders and 121 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: deeply dishonest about the threat that this person posed. You 122 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: probably would have had a lot of national coverage with 123 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: like pictures of the offender, like from middle school in 124 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: his band. 125 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: Diosphere, right, of course, no. 126 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: Mention of the knife that this man has. And I 127 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 1: because I watched that play out with Daniel Penny, because 128 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: I know that the left reviles self defense, I cannot 129 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: be part of it. It is so backwards to me. 130 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: And I know that this would be a national story 131 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: if that man had been killed in defense of this 132 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:05,120 Speaker 1: young woman. 133 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 2: That's right. I've also saw, Yeah, you're absolutely right. I've 134 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 2: also seen on X people saying that the right is 135 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: really mad about this because it was a black man 136 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: and a white woman. Guys, like, be serious, nobody cares 137 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:22,440 Speaker 2: about their races. I would be just as angry if 138 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: it was a black woman and a white man. I 139 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 2: wouldn't care at all, what the you know, or any 140 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: other race in there, Like, the race is completely irrelevant here. 141 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,720 Speaker 2: And the idea that the right is angry about this 142 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:39,600 Speaker 2: because it's a white woman, I mean seriously. 143 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, the only thing it highlights is the utter hypocrisy 144 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: of the media, which covers things based upon the whatever 145 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: their preferred victim class. Right. By the way, I do 146 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: want to point out when it comes to actual policy, 147 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: I looked up some unc School of Government, Crime Justice 148 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: Innovation Lab studies and found that Indeed, Mecklenburg, which is 149 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 1: where Charlotte is, has been on the forefront of bail 150 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:07,680 Speaker 1: reform in North Carolina, and those reforms as of twenty nineteen, 151 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: they were associated with lower use of secured bonds, which 152 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: is cash bail, and a higher rate of release on 153 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: written promise or unsecured bomb bond, and a higher rate 154 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: of supervised release. Now this, this study from twenty nineteen 155 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: goes on to say that good news, it didn't affect 156 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: crime rates and everybody showed up for their trials. It 157 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 1: doesn't update you about twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, twenty 158 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: twenty three crime levels. Violent crime levels in Mecklenburg County 159 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 1: and Charlotte went up, up, up, and even up into 160 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, defying the pattern in other cities where 161 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,680 Speaker 1: it started to tick down after that. People care about 162 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: this issue. Our friend Alex the Chick says, keep pushing 163 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: the view that only MAGA cares about a woman being 164 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: slaughtered on transport, and the result will be people saying, 165 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: I guess I'm magan now mm hmm. 166 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,720 Speaker 2: That's a very good way to put it. A lot 167 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,000 Speaker 2: of people are also saying, perhaps we should go after 168 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 2: the judges, you know, there has to be some accountability. 169 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 2: Judges who just release criminals back out onto the streets 170 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 2: need to be held accountable. I could see that being 171 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 2: a Donald Trump, you know issue for the mid terms. 172 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,080 Speaker 2: I will make sure that judges who do this kind 173 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: of thing are held accountable or something similar. 174 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I understand the desire, as you know, 175 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,200 Speaker 1: we always advocate it for during during COVID, like let's 176 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: be rational about what your statistical probability is of these crimes, right, 177 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: But as you say, when you keep seeing these random incidents, 178 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 1: and yes we do have video of them, and yes, 179 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: it does make people feel it in a more real way. 180 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 2: Because you know what actually happened, there's no question. 181 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 1: And despite the despite the mayor's statement that you know, 182 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 1: you can't arrest your way out of it, out of this, 183 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: you could indeed have incarcerated your way out of this 184 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: sure problem, because the man had been arrested fourteen times, 185 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,960 Speaker 1: and his mom had tried to get the state to 186 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: help him with his mental health, and he missed various 187 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: states for that. Yeah. 188 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: I just the governor of North Carolina tweeted this morning, 189 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 2: and he's been ratioed to just the end of the earth. 190 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,719 Speaker 2: He tweeted, I'm heartbroken for the family of Dna Zurutska 191 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 2: who lost their loved one to this senseless act of violence, 192 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: and now appalled by the footage of the murder. Okay, great, 193 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,720 Speaker 2: we need more cops on the beat to keep people safe. 194 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: That's why my budget calls from more funding to hire 195 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: more well trained police officers, a call upon the legislature 196 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 2: to pass my law Enforcement Recruitment and Retention Package to 197 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 2: address vacancies in our state and local agencies so they 198 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,000 Speaker 2: could stop these horrific crimes and hold violent criminals accountable. 199 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 2: And everybody points out the police already did their part 200 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 2: of this, that you don't need more police to do this. 201 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 2: They arrested him fourteen times. The police work done. Check 202 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 2: it's the next guess the keeping from him in jail. 203 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:08,960 Speaker 1: Guess what job the current governor had during the time 204 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: this man was arrested fourteen times. He was attorney general. 205 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: He was Attorney General and the former governor of North Carolina. 206 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: Roy Cooper, the Democrat who is running for Senate for 207 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: Tom Tillis's seat against Michael Wattley, who's former chair of 208 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: the R and C in North Carolina and also the 209 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: party at any rate, Michael Wattley, he's running against him. 210 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 1: Roy Cooper was governor of North Carolina from twenty eighteen 211 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: to twenty twenty five. That is a bad section of 212 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: years to have overseen when people care about this kind 213 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: of issue. It will remain to be seen what becomes 214 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 1: of this in the race. There are certainly ads to 215 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,520 Speaker 1: be made of this, partly because he was a twenty 216 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: twenty Democratic governor. What do you think he did. He embraced, 217 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: of course, all of the cash bail reforms. He embraced 218 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: every blue star panel you could put together that would 219 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: be easier on criminals because they did sense citizens. They 220 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: all did this. He's on tape doing it. He is. 221 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: He's out there awarding panels to people and taking all 222 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: of their advice happily. And look, these things have consequences. 223 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: If you get caught up in a moral panic and 224 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,520 Speaker 1: you don't think about the actual policies. 225 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 2: It's not the bouncing, it's the actual government governing. 226 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying the videos the problem guys. Yeah, one quick 227 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: thing before we leave this segment. So this is an 228 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,920 Speaker 1: eighty twenty issue that Democrats are getting on the wrong 229 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: side of like being against crime. Here's one where a 230 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: left leaning guy got on the right side. Recently, Malcolm Gladwell, 231 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: very famous author, admitted that on the issue of trans 232 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 1: athletes and women's sports, he had been scared out of 233 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 1: stating what his actual opinion was. Here's a little clip 234 00:13:59,120 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: of him. 235 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 3: If we did a replay of that exact panel at 236 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 3: the Sloan Conference this coming March, it runs in exactly 237 00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 3: the opposite direction, and it would be I suspect near 238 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 3: unanimity in the room that trans athletes have no place 239 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 3: in the female category. I don't think this is any question. 240 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 3: I just think it was a strange I mean, I felt, 241 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: I mean I was the reason. I'm ashamed of my 242 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 3: performance of that panel, because I share your position one 243 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,840 Speaker 3: hundred percent, and I was count the idea of saying 244 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 3: anything on this issue. 245 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: I was. 246 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 3: A I believe in retrospect in a dishonest way. Was 247 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 3: I was objective in a dishonest way. 248 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:54,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, people are piling on him. I like the admission. 249 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 2: It is a little galling that Malcolm Gladwell, who had 250 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: almost nothing to lose, know extremely successful bestseller after bestseller. 251 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 2: I've read all of his books. I mean had still 252 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 2: was afraid to say what he actually thought. And how 253 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 2: about all the people who aren't at Malcolm Gladwell's you know, 254 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: financial level or success level, or at where they are 255 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 2: in their careers and the risks that they're taking speaking out. 256 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 2: I appreciate the admission, but. 257 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I appreciate the admission, and I 258 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: want to appreciate it because I want to encourage more 259 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: people to go down this path and to just say like, yeah, 260 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: we were in a what were we doing? What were 261 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 1: we doing? I do think Malcolm Gladwell would have been 262 00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: in that class of uncancellable people basically where he could 263 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: have said, no, I think you guys are wrong about this, 264 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: and look, I think I also want to acknowledge because 265 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 1: you and I have felt it during the the years 266 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:00,960 Speaker 1: of our insanity from twenty twenty. 267 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: To twenty twenty two, the crazy years. 268 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: The crazy years. A lot of people will say about 269 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: like open school moms, like oh, you guys just were 270 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: scared of losing your brunch friends and your tennis partners, 271 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: and it's like, no, I don't, like, we're not going 272 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: to erase the immense social pressure and consequences and ostracization 273 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,120 Speaker 1: that came with this kind of thing in twenty twenty 274 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,800 Speaker 1: through twenty two, twenty two. So he was reacting to 275 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 1: a very real thing. Some people say like, oh, he's 276 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 1: just a coward, and look, I wish he had spoken up. 277 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: Many others did with less right, But there was a 278 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: real force of really disgusting bullying and consequences that came 279 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 1: from doing that. So he wasn't reacting to nothing, which 280 00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,360 Speaker 1: is what some people want to say. 281 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: Right well, So to tie it to our original topic, 282 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 2: if you're a Democrat and you think crime is bad, 283 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: I think you should just say so. You should just 284 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,760 Speaker 2: say that, not wait, not wait a few years until 285 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 2: you know other Democrats are saying crime is bad. So 286 00:16:58,760 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 2: you could add on to. 287 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 1: It, you could jump on. 288 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 2: Now, we'll be right back to talk about the socialist 289 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 2: possible mayor of New York City thinking that millionaires are 290 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,959 Speaker 2: just going to have to live with his policies. I 291 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 2: don't think. So we'll be right back with more on normally. 292 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: Our guy, Mom, Donnie, he's back at it. He's doing 293 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: the interviews, he's talking about all his plans, and he's 294 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: going to keep the rich people in New York. I 295 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: don't know if you know this. 296 00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's play the clip. 297 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:30,240 Speaker 5: You've been running on the platform of affordability, of fixes 298 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,720 Speaker 5: for New Yorkers like a rent freeze. You mentioned free buses, 299 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 5: city on groceries. That made you popular with some working 300 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 5: New Yorkers, but not so popular with real estate developers 301 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 5: at the financial class. You were the only mayoral candidate 302 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 5: to march alongside Martin Luther King the third and nine 303 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,760 Speaker 5: on our March on Wall Street about DEI on last week, 304 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,720 Speaker 5: as we call economic justice for all New Yorkers and 305 00:17:55,760 --> 00:18:00,399 Speaker 5: all Americans. But right now, the top one percent is 306 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 5: in the city pay forty percent of the city's income 307 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 5: taxes according to the Empire Center for Public Policy. How 308 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,640 Speaker 5: do you bring these wealthy residents to the table as 309 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 5: mayor stop them from saying they're leaving, gone to Florida, 310 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 5: Because we need that tax revenue to pay for some 311 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,720 Speaker 5: of the things you're talking about. How do you pay 312 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 5: for it if they're gone? 313 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 4: Well, the first thing I have to say is I 314 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,560 Speaker 4: was proud to be the only candidate for mayor at 315 00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 4: that march. And I was proud because some of the 316 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,679 Speaker 4: chants at that march, they were asking, is the dream alive? 317 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 4: Is Doctor King's dream still alive? And he asked the 318 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 4: question decades ago, what good is having the right to 319 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 4: sit at a lunch counter if you can't afford to 320 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 4: buy a hamburger. That's a question that New Yorkers are 321 00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,720 Speaker 4: still wrestling with today in twenty twenty five. And so 322 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 4: what I have put forward is a vision to make 323 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,400 Speaker 4: the most expensive city in the United States of America 324 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:54,160 Speaker 4: affordable at a time. And we have the wealthiest city. 325 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,880 Speaker 4: It is also one where one and four are living 326 00:18:55,920 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 4: in poverty. And to your point, we have a number 327 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,160 Speaker 4: of New Yorkers who are doing quite well. The top 328 00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 4: one percent of New York City earns a million dollars 329 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 4: or more a year. And my vision is not one 330 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,399 Speaker 4: where they leave, it is one where they stay. It 331 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 4: is one good mist in part by showing them that 332 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 4: asking them to pay more in taxes would increase even 333 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 4: their quality of life. Because when you ask New Yorkers 334 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 4: what is it that is making them feel uneasy in 335 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 4: this city, you often hear from them about the cleanliness 336 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 4: of our city, the safety of our city, the affordability 337 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 4: of our city. We are not asking to raise these 338 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 4: taxes for the sake of it. We're asking so that 339 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 4: we can actually make the slowest buses in the country 340 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 4: fast and free, so that we can actually create a 341 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 4: Department of Community Safety that would deploy dedicated teams of 342 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,720 Speaker 4: mental health outreach workers to the top one hundred stations 343 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 4: of the highest levels of mental health crises and homelessness. 344 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 2: It's just such coore, solid nonsense. You know, I didn't 345 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,600 Speaker 2: know that it was Al Sharpton who interviewed him, because 346 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 2: I only I had read the response. But now hearing Sharpton, 347 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 2: it's like two hucksters talking to each other. I mean, 348 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,919 Speaker 2: Sharpton says things like the financial class, What does that 349 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 2: even mean? What is the financial class? Sharpen? Is the 350 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:08,960 Speaker 2: financial class? Like it's I will tell you that I 351 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: have had a lot of friends call me and say 352 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: we are now thinking of getting out from New York 353 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 2: and some of those friends we can't. 354 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 1: We can't carol some of those friends. 355 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they're going to be done. 356 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 1: Have they not gotten the memo about Mom Donnie's vision 357 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: which includes them and their money? 358 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 2: And they're fast and free buses Like I'm I think 359 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 2: I feel like also, the it's either going to be 360 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:35,440 Speaker 2: fast or it's going to be free. It's not going 361 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 2: to be both. 362 00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 1: So it's the idea that their quality of life will 363 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 1: go up by having more of their money taken by 364 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,679 Speaker 1: this guy who has no experience running, no idea what 365 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: he's doing. Also the combo of like Namby Pamby Office 366 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: of Community Action instead of police plus free buses, which 367 00:20:55,960 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 1: will inevitably become a housing area for homeless people. We 368 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: have any number of mental illnesses and violent tendencies. Just 369 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:09,399 Speaker 1: combine that with our first segment story. No, it's not 370 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 1: a good look. I don't feel good about it. Yeah, 371 00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: And I don't feel like people who have means aren't 372 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 1: necessarily going to stick around for it. 373 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 5: Yeah. 374 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:16,919 Speaker 2: I don't know why they would. And the thing is, 375 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 2: I think a lot of people didn't want to abandon 376 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 2: New York and they wanted to say, Okay, we're going 377 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 2: to stay and rebuild the city after COVID, And now 378 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,880 Speaker 2: they're like, Wow, I have to get out of here 379 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:29,399 Speaker 2: before it's too late. I have to get out of 380 00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 2: here before this is all just a bigger problem than 381 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: it's ever been. The guy who wants to rent freeze 382 00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: and the guy who wants government run stores, and the 383 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 2: other thing is I don't think he's going to accomplish 384 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: any of this. I'm concerned about how poorly it will 385 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 2: go if he does accomplish it. But I actually don't 386 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 2: think he actually gets to the place where it fails, 387 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: because I don't think it actually ever happens. And then 388 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 2: I wonder what he does then. And I have to 389 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 2: tell you that a lot of people are thinking he's 390 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 2: going to get really into like the Free Palestine movement 391 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 2: and make that an important part of New York City politics, 392 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: because you'll have nothing else. And you know, I think 393 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 2: all New Yorkers should be worried. Jewish new Yorkers, it's 394 00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 2: long past the time to get out. 395 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 1: I also just love the entitled nature of all like 396 00:22:21,400 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 1: Champagne socialists that like know, the people who work really 397 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: hard and make the money will just keep them and 398 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,400 Speaker 1: their money because reasons, and those people have no agency 399 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: and somehow they won't do it any different. 400 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 2: The people with the most access to leaving will stay. 401 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 1: Well. We will be back in a minute with a 402 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 1: little bit more on both socialism and gen Z. All right, 403 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: two quick polls before we're out of here, Carol. Number 404 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: one a new Gallup poll asking do you have a 405 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 1: positive or negative view of socialism. You ready for these 406 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: democratic numbers, I'm ready sixty six positive thirty negative. It 407 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: is highest ever in this gallop question. If you fourteen 408 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: percent approved eighty all right. 409 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 2: Republicans hold the whole country together, let's do it. 410 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: Indy thirty eight to fifty seven. 411 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 2: So man, yeah, it's not good. It's not good. I 412 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: think that we need to hear better arguments of why 413 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: socialism has failed every single time it has been tried. 414 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,040 Speaker 2: And I think people need to understand that. You know, 415 00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:32,399 Speaker 2: a lot of times Bernie Sanders will point to Sweden 416 00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 2: and say like, oh, I want to be socialists like them, 417 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 2: and Sweden had to tell Bernie Sanders stop calling us socialists. 418 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 2: We're actually capitalist. So I think people need to hear 419 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 2: stories like that to get that that's not what socialism is. 420 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 2: Venezuela is what socialism is. Take a good look and 421 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 2: wonder if that's what you want to be. 422 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 1: I do think capitalism vanquished socialism, at least in the 423 00:23:53,680 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 1: Western world, so thoroughly that too many people forgot like 424 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: it starts saying the Fido idea again, and then you're like, no, no, no, 425 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: that's not a Neto idea. It requires the murdering systematically 426 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: of many, many thousands of people to do it, so 427 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: maybe not right. 428 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 2: I also like, I love all the memes that are like, 429 00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 2: you know, under socialism, I'll tend my garden. They're like 430 00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,199 Speaker 2: your garden, like our garden. 431 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,560 Speaker 1: It belongs to all of us. There's just a lot 432 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: that they're not thinking about there, all right, what's the 433 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: other pole? 434 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: The other whole number is how important it is to 435 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:31,879 Speaker 2: have kids important to personal definition of success. Women who 436 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 2: voted for Harris say six percent it's important to have the. 437 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,120 Speaker 1: Bottom of their list of things that define success. 438 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 2: Young men who voted for Trump thirty four percent. Yeah, 439 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 2: that's a lot better. And that's that's at the top 440 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,919 Speaker 2: of the list of things that are important to their 441 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: personal definition of success. No matter who my kids vote for, 442 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: I hope that they put that at the top of 443 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 2: their list. That's actually the most important thing to me 444 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,400 Speaker 2: by far. I think that the rest of it is important, 445 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 2: but not as important. 446 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, hands down, best thing I've ever done. So like 447 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: the idea that it's at the very bottom of the list. 448 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:11,560 Speaker 1: And I think it's like, you know, we communicated that 449 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: it's passe to to get married and have kids. And 450 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: of course the less reaction to this is going to 451 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,880 Speaker 1: be like, E, these men wanting to have children. No good, 452 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: these men wanting to have children, right, but. 453 00:25:24,600 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 2: Of course it's our fault that they don't have children. 454 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: We've trigged them, the greatest trick we've ever pulled. 455 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: We tricked them. Yeah, this is going to cause some 456 00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: dating problems in that. 457 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the thing. That's why I think Republicans need 458 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 2: to focus more on women. But whenever I say that 459 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:42,480 Speaker 2: on X all these people are like, forget those women 460 00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:44,479 Speaker 2: who care as well men marrying. 461 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you gotta, you know, match them somebody with a 462 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: daughter and two. 463 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,080 Speaker 2: Sons, Like I worry about who my sons will married, right, 464 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 2: I'm with you.
