1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,479 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load from 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Michael Veri show is on the air. 3 00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,639 Speaker 2: I want everybody to stop dying. 4 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 3: That dying. 5 00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 2: Finally, I want to deliver a message to the long 6 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 2: suffering people of Iran. The people of America stand with you. 7 00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 2: It has now been almost forty years since this dictatorship 8 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: seize power and took a proud nation hostage. Most of 9 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:40,479 Speaker 2: Iran's eighty million citizens have sadly never known an Iran 10 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,319 Speaker 2: that prospered in peace with its neighbors and commanded the 11 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 2: admiration of the world. But the future of Iran belongs 12 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: to its people. They are the rightful heirs to a 13 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 2: rich culture and an ancient land, and they deserve a 14 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 2: name that does justice to their dreams, honor to their history, 15 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: and glory to God. 16 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: Would have never happened if I was president. 17 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: Putin would have never done it. And I spoke to 18 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 2: him yesterday and I said, you know, he actually offered 19 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 2: to help mediate. 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,000 Speaker 1: I said, do me a favor, mediate your own. 21 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 2: Let's mediate Russia first, Okay, I said, Vladimir, Let's mediate 22 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: Russia first. 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: You can worry about this later. 24 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,680 Speaker 3: Now I hear is you just went out because they 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 3: felt it was violated by one rocket that didn't land anywhere. 26 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: That's not what we want, I'll tell you, and I'm 27 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 3: telling you I'm not happy about that Israel either. Two 28 00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 3: countries that have been fighting so long and so hard 29 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: that they don't know what they're doing. 30 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 4: Do you understand that Donald Trump was once the King 31 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 4: of New York in New York, where he developed a 32 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 4: New York that was booming, a New York that Jesse 33 00:01:55,880 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 4: Jackson once called a slur for Jews, followed by the 34 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 4: term town. I won't say it, there's no reason to 35 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 4: It rhymes with stemy, and Jews in New York know 36 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 4: that that's a very very nasty phrase thrown at them. 37 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,919 Speaker 4: There is a dirty little secret in American politics that 38 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 4: black nationalism is very much at odds with Jews, which 39 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 4: creates for an awkward bedfellow between the radical black left 40 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 4: and liberal Jews. In the Democrat Party. There has long 41 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,960 Speaker 4: been this pretend that it's not there, but it is. 42 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: The Last time it reared its ugly head it was 43 00:02:56,200 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 4: just a few months ago. Josh Shapiro was, without a doubt, 44 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: the most popular Democrat candidate to replace Joe Biden, but 45 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:19,079 Speaker 4: the decision was made him being Jewish and all that 46 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 4: that would upset the Muslims. 47 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: Why does that matter? There are now more. 48 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,679 Speaker 4: Muslims than Jews in this country, but more importantly, it's 49 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 4: where they live. In the critical state of Michigan, which 50 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 4: now has cities that look more like Lebanon than America, 51 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 4: the very active, aggressive radical Muslim community would never tolerate 52 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: having a Jewish nominee, and that was openly talked about 53 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 4: amongst the Democrat donor base and the insiders, who decided 54 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 4: that Kamala, wounded and broken as she was, would have 55 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 4: to be the choice. 56 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: It was also the case. 57 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 4: That her being at least painted as a black woman, 58 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 4: that passing over her would alienate the entitled blacks, which 59 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 4: is not all blacks, but it's some who feel we 60 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 4: got to have one of our own up there, and 61 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: Kamala is as close as we've gotten. 62 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:40,920 Speaker 1: Now. 63 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 4: Do they love Kamala Harris, No, they don't. She's not 64 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: a power figure to them. She's not an inspiration to them. 65 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,799 Speaker 4: But people tend to internalize politics. It's not about whether 66 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 4: they had a love affair with Kamala Harris as a 67 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 4: person or she an inspiration to them. 68 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: It was. 69 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 4: If you will put a black woman atop the ticket, 70 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 4: that's to my benefit because now a black woman will 71 00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: be president. And that don't mean that I can do 72 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 4: things as a black woman. Well, but she's an idiot 73 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 4: and you don't like her. 74 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I got that. 75 00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 4: But I'll take her because if I can make you 76 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 4: put her there and you don't want to, I can 77 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 4: make you. I can make you put me somewhere you 78 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 4: don't want to. And that's the calculation as to how 79 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: that works. She's only half black, she's from Canada. She's 80 00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 4: married to a white guy who knocked up the babysitter 81 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 4: with his daughter, which now is his daughter. 82 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: She is an. 83 00:05:55,440 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 4: Absolute nut and voted for Zora and Mumdani. And that 84 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: brings us to New York, and that brings us to 85 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:12,280 Speaker 4: the chickens coming home to roost. For white liberals, white 86 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 4: liberals have long kept counsel with anybody and everybody who 87 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: wasn't a conservative, tax paying, god fearing white male. 88 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: Or their awful wives. 89 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 4: So it didn't matter what broken group, where you were from, 90 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 4: who you pledged allusiance to, what bombs you set off, 91 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 4: who you hated, who you raped, who you murdered. What 92 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 4: awful things you did, what awful things you claimed, what 93 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 4: awful things you promised? You were part of the Democrat coalition. Well, 94 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: eventually the white liberals thought they would stay in charge 95 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 4: of this forever. 96 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: And now they got on that tiger and it got 97 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: out of control. 98 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: Zorn Mumdani, Oh, you're going to hear this name. He's 99 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 4: going to become New York's first Muslim mayor, first Asian mayor, 100 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 4: first millennial mayor. 101 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: And boy, is this going to be interesting. You're on 102 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: the pulse. 103 00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 4: But kingting continues on the Michael Berry Show. So sitting 104 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 4: mayor Eric Adams, sixty four year old black men former 105 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 4: police officer who was targeted by the Biden administration. His 106 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 4: case was dropped by the Trump administration. He's been accused 107 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 4: of corruption. He has run a foul of the liberal elite, 108 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 4: there by cooperating with ICE to remove illegal aliens. He's 109 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 4: certainly not been a perfect mayor, to be clear, but 110 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: he's managed to garner some support by the more Trump 111 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 4: leaning New York voters because he's run a foul of 112 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 4: the left. So now we have Zorn Mamdani. 113 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: Who. 114 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: Is a socialist, a nutjob, an America hater. 115 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: He is. He is exactly. 116 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 4: Where on the continuum white liberal politics lead you, whether 117 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 4: that be in England or Sweden or France. Eventually, when 118 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: you say there will be no law in order white officeholder, 119 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 4: the white liberals are eventually going to give way to 120 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 4: the coalition of misfits that are everybody but the white 121 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 4: law and order people. And you will notice we saw 122 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: this in twenty twenty four in the presidential election, a 123 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 4: lot of white moderates who vote Democrat once they see 124 00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: the consequences of where this trend is heading. You see, 125 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 4: everything was about the non white people. Let's give more 126 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 4: welfare to the non whites, let's give let's give more 127 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 4: power to trainees and foreigners, let's legalize the illegals. And 128 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 4: anyone who says otherwise is fear mongering. Y'all should be 129 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 4: eaten up with guilt as we are. And we need 130 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 4: to welcome the whole world into here, legal or illegal, 131 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 4: terrorists or not, Muslim or not, and violent or not, 132 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:05,600 Speaker 4: and everything will always be okay, except it won't. The 133 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 4: question is do you wake up to that before you 134 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: reach critical mass. So what you're noticing now in New York. 135 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 4: And this happened in Houston with Lena Hidalgo. Harris County, 136 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 4: which is the county Houston is in, was it has 137 00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 4: four county commissioners plus the county judge it's called but 138 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 4: it's actually. 139 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: The mayor of the county. 140 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: And for decades that was four Republicans and one Democrat. 141 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 4: And then the Democrat, who was happy to go along, 142 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 4: to get along, get along, to go along, he died 143 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 4: and he was replaced by very, very shrewd, conniving, wily, 144 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 4: corrupt state senator named Rodney Ellis, and in just a 145 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 4: matter of a few years he managed to redistrict, replace 146 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 4: cheat and now it's flipped four to one Democrat and 147 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 4: people are fleeing. Harris County, a once great, well run county, 148 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:14,200 Speaker 4: law and order oriented, is now Democrat dominated. And you 149 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 4: can look at Philadelphia, Detroit, Atlanta. You can see what 150 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 4: happens when you look at the large cities of this 151 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 4: country and their trend line. The trend line was to 152 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: go from white conservative mayor to liberal conservative mayor to 153 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 4: black corrupt mayor. 154 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,239 Speaker 1: And the next phase is zorn Mundani. 155 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 4: But in that process, what ended up happening is when 156 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 4: you went from the white liberal mayor, the Mitch Landrew 157 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 4: of New Orleans to the black corrupt mayor. And by 158 00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 4: the way, it was probably corruption. You know, Richard Daley 159 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 4: was corrupted in Chicago. Once you get to the black 160 00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,440 Speaker 4: mayor who's elected on the basis that he's black, you 161 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: generally have to get to about thirty five percent black 162 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 4: in a major urban environment to be able to elect 163 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 4: the black mayor. Once that happens, you start with a 164 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,720 Speaker 4: thirty five percent lead because you fire up the blacks 165 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,240 Speaker 4: to vote for the first black whether that be Harold Washington, 166 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,360 Speaker 4: whether that be Mark Morial, whether that be Ray Nagan, 167 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 4: whether that be what's the name in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New 168 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:49,640 Speaker 4: York Dinkins. And once that happens, then they surround themselves 169 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 4: with a black leadership and white cognizanti. The conciliaries are 170 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 4: these white liberals. What's the guy's name that would Dave? 171 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 4: Is it David Pluff? The guy that was part of 172 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 4: Obama's leadership team, Axelrod, and he said that our goal 173 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 4: was to take over the major cities, and the way 174 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 4: we would do that is we would mobilize the black 175 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 4: vote on the basis of race, and then we would 176 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 4: convince white people to vote against their own best interests, 177 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 4: because urban whites are very self righteous virtue signalers. And 178 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,679 Speaker 4: he said, we talked them into voting against their own 179 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 4: best interests. So voting for a mayor Karen Bass in 180 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 4: Los Angeles, great example, who won't give you a permit 181 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 4: to rebuild after the fire, won't put good people in 182 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 4: place to keep the fire from spreading, won't stop the protests. 183 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,360 Speaker 4: So how do you get white liberals to vote against 184 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 4: their own best interests so that they end up living 185 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 4: in a war zone. You convince them that they are 186 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 4: good people for vot voting against their own best interests. Now, 187 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: this sounds crazy, but it works because white liberals, especially 188 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: rich white liberals, are so guilt ridden as they drive 189 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 4: around in the city where they see poor black people 190 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 4: on the street, corners dealing drugs, shooting each other, children 191 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 4: not wearing shoes, fatherless homes, decrepit buildings, abandoned, neglected spaces, 192 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 4: graffiti everywhere. So these people feel such guilt that, in 193 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 4: order to feel better about themselves, they vote for candidates 194 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 4: who are horrible for the city, not imagining it could 195 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 4: even get worse. And then you see a great city 196 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,359 Speaker 4: like Portland fall into squalor. A great city like Seattle 197 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 4: become squalor, a great city like Mogadishu, Minneapolis fall into squalor. 198 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 4: And so you go on the continuum to the liberal 199 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: white mayor and move on to the black mayor who's 200 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 4: elected on the basis of race with a black base. 201 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 4: And by the time they were elected, they've already fulfilled 202 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 4: their promise. I promise I'd be black and be mayor, 203 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 4: and they did. And then the corruption begins, and then 204 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 4: the white flight begins. And you don't turn these trends 205 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:29,840 Speaker 4: back around. 206 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: Always say it on the Michael Verie Show. So here's 207 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 1: what's about to happen. It's going to be a nasty 208 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 1: wake up call. 209 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: New York has the largest Jewish population in the United 210 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:49,440 Speaker 4: States by far. New York has long been a beacon 211 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 4: for Jewish culture, Jewish writers. I mean, Woody Allen created 212 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: an entire genre of movies where people in Middle America 213 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 4: who've never been to New York got a glimpse into 214 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 4: the Woody Allen. 215 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: Zeitgest right, it's it's from museums to coffee shops to music. 216 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: Simon and Garfunkel, New. 217 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 4: York was the cradle of Jewish culture in America by far, 218 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 4: and that Jewish culture largely repudiated Christian middle class values, 219 00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 4: and that was okay in the Ed Koch era. And 220 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 4: then David Dinkins was erected elected, not erected, he was. 221 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 4: He might have been erected, but he was elected. And 222 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 4: crime skyrocketed and it became the case that muggings were common, 223 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 4: and a lot of people flew South Florida for the 224 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 4: summer or for the winter. 225 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: And never came back. 226 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 4: That's what Palm Beach became a bunker, a refuge for 227 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 4: people from New York. Donald Trump among them who left 228 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 4: New York and really never came back, maybe didn't even 229 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 4: announce it, they just didn't come back. And they created 230 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 4: this well to do culture in Palm Beach, of many 231 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 4: of them Jewish, and they had their clubs, mar A 232 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 4: Lago among them. But there are others, the breakers, private 233 00:17:50,000 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 4: country clubs, their restaurants, their famelias, their yachts, and they 234 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: bemoaned what had become of New York. But they weren't 235 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:09,040 Speaker 4: going back because too many people were getting the Bernie 236 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 4: Gets treatment and they didn't want it anymore. The subways 237 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 4: became more and more dangerous. John Rocker talked about that 238 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 4: having played ball there. The streets became more and more dangerous. 239 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 4: And so Rudy Giuliani runs for mayor and in a 240 00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 4: last gasp of hope for New York, gets elected because 241 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680 Speaker 4: people wanted him, even though it's like a lot of 242 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:43,040 Speaker 4: people who voted for Trump, they didn't like him, too conservative, 243 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 4: but they wanted their streets back. So Giuliani gets elected. 244 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 4: But he's too conservative, he's too law and order. They 245 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 4: think they don't want law and order once they have it. 246 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,080 Speaker 4: So Rudy Giuliani and I think his wife was j 247 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 4: Nathan at the time, are separated. He's not even living 248 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,840 Speaker 4: in Gracie Mansion, which is the mayor's residence. He's living 249 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 4: out back of a gay couple who were friends of his, 250 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: and I'm not insinuating anything. 251 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: They were friends of his, in. 252 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 4: Little apartment out back, sitting on a on a popularity 253 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 4: rating of less than fifteen percent. He's riding out the 254 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 4: end of his term when all of a sudden nine 255 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 4: to eleven happens and Rudy is the man for the moment. 256 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 4: He's America's mayor. He shows strength and resolve, and this 257 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 4: former US attorney prosecutor who went after the the. 258 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: Mafia was the man. 259 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 4: So people forget how unpopular he was among the citizens 260 00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 4: of New York. He wasn't unpopular for anything other than 261 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 4: doing exactly what he promised. White liberals are very conflicted. 262 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 4: They will tell you at a dinner party about getting 263 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 4: mugged and how the city's going to hell and the 264 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 4: taxes are too high and the corruption is too great. 265 00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 4: And you say, wait a minute, that's the guy you 266 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 4: voted for, and in fact you're hosting an event for. 267 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: Him next week. Yeah, I'm really unhappy with him. 268 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 4: Okay, there's a cognitive dissonance, not just to your thoughts 269 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 4: and words, but to your actions. White liberals commit political 270 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 4: suicide daily. 271 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: So Rudy goes on. 272 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 4: To enjoy incredible popularity and the rest of the country 273 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 4: thought he was popular in New York. He wasn't prior 274 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 4: to nine to eleven. Again, it wasn't until Muslims attacked 275 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,359 Speaker 4: the city and the city was crumbling and needed leadership 276 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,199 Speaker 4: that the people who didn't like him for what for 277 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 4: restoring law and order got behind him. But it was 278 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 4: too late, too late for him to be re elected. 279 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 4: So he's going to run for the Senate against Hillary, 280 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 4: but he has prostate cancer. 281 00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 1: It's not the right time. 282 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: He becomes associated with Trump, kind of moves off practice 283 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 4: law makes some money, okay. 284 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: Well. 285 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 4: In the meantime, the city of New York was growing 286 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:53,120 Speaker 4: more and more foreign owned, foreign influenced, particularly Muslim influenced, 287 00:21:54,480 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 4: and there became a growing faction of people who find 288 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: New York to be a very comfortable place to do business. 289 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:09,880 Speaker 4: Whatever that business may be. They are able to blend in, 290 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 4: many of them illegal. That's why New York has become 291 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 4: such a bastion for illegal immigration. Many of them engaged 292 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 4: in forms of corruption, whether that be medicare, fraud, you 293 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 4: name it. And the white liberal kept pushing for this 294 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 4: more and more and more, all the while not understanding 295 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 4: that the white liberal is only useful until the pets 296 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 4: that he's collecting devour him or her. I think we've 297 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,880 Speaker 4: reached that point in New York. The election of Zora 298 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 4: or the victory by Zoron Mandani last night, I believe 299 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 4: is the critical mass they needed now that might just 300 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 4: ensure that Eric Adams wins reelection because he's scheduled to 301 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 4: announce that he's running again tomorrow as an independent. I 302 00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: don't know, we shall see, but we're going to see 303 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: this trend across the country. 304 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: We are at that point in the phase. 305 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,959 Speaker 4: Of every major city where we've moved from the white 306 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,160 Speaker 4: mayor who's sort of a centrist, to the white liberal mayor, 307 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 4: to the black mayor. And now they too will be 308 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: replaced by the very, very radical elements that were once 309 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 4: just a piece of the coalition of what is now 310 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 4: on the streets in Los Angeles and what is defund 311 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 4: the police in New York. 312 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 1: Now they're ready to leave. And this is going to 313 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: be something to behold. Walden, all great cities in between 314 00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,680 Speaker 1: the Michael Berry Show is nichwide. 315 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,680 Speaker 4: So you should be reasonably asking, well, Zaar, who is 316 00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 4: this boogeyman Zoron Mamdani you keep talking about. Let me 317 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 4: tell you his campaign platform on includes free city buses, 318 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:26,640 Speaker 4: because why wouldn't you. 319 00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: Public childcare? 320 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,360 Speaker 4: Because when you have these babies, because by the way, 321 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,480 Speaker 4: it's an act of great valor to have the baby. 322 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 4: You could have just aborted it. So now everybody else 323 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 4: has to pay for your baby. City owned grocery stores, 324 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 4: you see, every socialist will tell you that capitalism is 325 00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:56,480 Speaker 4: the exploitation of the individual by the rich, and that 326 00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:58,639 Speaker 4: sounds good if you don't have as much money as 327 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: you'd like to and the guy over across the street does, 328 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 4: I'd like some of what he has. 329 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: But you can't steal from the. 330 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 4: Rich and give to the poor for very long because 331 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 4: the things that made the rich rich will cause him 332 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 4: to either flee or no longer produce. If you've ever 333 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 4: traveled to a socialist or communist country, you know that 334 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: there's nothing on the shelves, because when you produce without 335 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:35,640 Speaker 4: being able to profit, you stop producing, and that becomes 336 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 4: the problem. Therein lies the problem. We take for granted 337 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 4: there is so much food on the shelves in this country. 338 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 4: Our biggest problem isn't the lack of food. It's too 339 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 4: damn much of it. That's why we're so fat. We 340 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 4: take for granted that there's so many items on the shelves. 341 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:00,199 Speaker 4: We don't have to go to the shelves anymore have 342 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:05,359 Speaker 4: them delivered to us. Visit a socialist nation, there's nothing 343 00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 4: for sale. Nobody makes anything. He wants A rent freeze 344 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 4: on rent stabilized units. Thomas soul in Basic economics. You 345 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 4: can look up Thomas Soul and rent subsidies, and you 346 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 4: will find that what sounds like a great idea. 347 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: Remember the rent is too damn high, guy. 348 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 4: Well, the idea that you don't want to pay more 349 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 4: in rent, so the government won't allow the landlord to 350 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:42,400 Speaker 4: charge more for rent seems like a great idea. 351 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: If you're a renter. 352 00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 4: And this is the part that's hard for people to 353 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:52,399 Speaker 4: understand because they never studied economics. If the goal is 354 00:26:52,440 --> 00:27:01,400 Speaker 4: to lower rents and make housing more affordable, rent caps. 355 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: Do not accomplish that. And now here's the part follow me. 356 00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: They do exactly the opposite. Why is that. 357 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:15,640 Speaker 4: Because rent control means a landlord can't make money, or 358 00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,880 Speaker 4: can make money, can put his capital to use somewhere else. 359 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 4: So the landlord says, I've got one hundred units in 360 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 4: New York and I've had rent control imposed on me, 361 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 4: so I can only charge three hundred dollars a unit. 362 00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 1: For my units. 363 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: It cost me too much to build more, So I'm 364 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 4: not going to build more because I can't charge more. 365 00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 4: I'm not going to make improvements. Why would I make improvements. 366 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,119 Speaker 4: I can't charge more. It's money lost. So the buildings 367 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: become dilapidated and derelict. That's number one. Number two. A 368 00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 4: study done on rent controlled units in New York owned 369 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 4: that a number of units were actually owned by people 370 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,199 Speaker 4: who didn't live in them. 371 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 1: Follow me here. 372 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 4: What happens is somebody gets a rent controlled unit in 373 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 4: New York. 374 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,640 Speaker 1: They've had it since nineteen seventy eight. 375 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 4: Let's say they never give it up because it's so 376 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 4: cheap they can afford to hold onto it. They live 377 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,320 Speaker 4: in Florida, but when they come to town, they stay 378 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: in their rent controlled unit. In many cases they sublet 379 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: their rent controlled unit to someone else, but they ain't 380 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 4: about to give it up. 381 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: But the problem is, tenants. 382 00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 4: Have so many rights visa via the landlord that you've 383 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,520 Speaker 4: got to be real careful who you rent to because 384 00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 4: they'll get in there and effectively become a squatter and 385 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 4: you can't beat them in court, you can't evict them. 386 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:57,000 Speaker 4: And by the way, you weren't supposed to sublet when 387 00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,720 Speaker 4: you don't build more units, because why would you. You can't 388 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 4: charge more in rents when you don't build more units, 389 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:08,600 Speaker 4: then you create a shortage. Well, you know enough of 390 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 4: economics to know this. If demand remains the same, or 391 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 4: in this case increases because the population is increasing but 392 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 4: supply remains static. It doesn't change. You don't add to it. 393 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 4: More demand, same supply. What happens on the price curve, 394 00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,200 Speaker 4: it goes up, but there's no way for price to 395 00:29:28,240 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 4: go up because remember you got rent control. So now 396 00:29:32,720 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 4: how do you decide who gets a unit because nobody 397 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 4: ever moves out. 398 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,960 Speaker 1: You can't afford to move out. It's too cheap. 399 00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 4: If you move out, there's no housing available, so you 400 00:29:45,280 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 4: have to move outside the city. So what ended up 401 00:29:49,080 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 4: happening was the few people who had a rent controlled 402 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:58,320 Speaker 4: unit kept the rent controlled unit. Everybody else had to 403 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 4: move out a rent controlled unit, and your whole family 404 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 4: lives there, and your daughter turns eighteen or twenty two 405 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 4: or twenty five, and she gets married and they have 406 00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 4: a child or three or four. The unit was too small, 407 00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:16,160 Speaker 4: so she has to find her own place. But there's 408 00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 4: no housing in New York, So now she has to 409 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 4: move to New Jersey. And so what you saw was 410 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 4: people having to move out of the city. People priced 411 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 4: out of the city because there's insufficient inventory of housing 412 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 4: in New York. Because there's no incentive for anyone to 413 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 4: build housing. Government can't build housing not very well. What 414 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:45,239 Speaker 4: it would cost the government to build a unit is 415 00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 4: far in excess of what the free market could build 416 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 4: it for. So the people who are good at building apartments, 417 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 4: they just move their apartments out of the city. Well, 418 00:30:56,120 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 4: now you've rent controlled the rent, so you've rent control. 419 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 4: Now you've put a cap on the taxes you can 420 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:09,600 Speaker 4: charge for the ownership of that unit. That can't increase 421 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 4: because you've kept the taxes low. So the valuation is 422 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 4: low because the valuation of an investment property is what 423 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,960 Speaker 4: you can get as an investment from a renter. So 424 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 4: now you've got properties valued at what they were in 425 00:31:23,320 --> 00:31:26,720 Speaker 4: the eighties. But you've increased your costs. You've got more 426 00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 4: illegal aliens, you've got more cops you have to pay. 427 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:34,000 Speaker 4: You've got more cops on retirement. You've got more firefighters, 428 00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:37,080 Speaker 4: you've got payments to be made from firefighters who had 429 00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 4: to leave after nine to eleven. You've got road repairs, 430 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:45,400 Speaker 4: you've got rats as big as raccoons, which became a 431 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 4: national story. So you start noticing that as a result 432 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:54,040 Speaker 4: of a well intended policy, it sounds good. We're not 433 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 4: going to let landlords raise the rent because landlords are 434 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 4: evil and tenants are victims. So what starts as a 435 00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:04,360 Speaker 4: rent control with the best of intentions ends up spiraling, 436 00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 4: as all liberal ideas do. It ends up spiraling into 437 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 4: something that ends up hurting the very people it was 438 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 4: designed to help. 439 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,880 Speaker 1: Because I had news for you that landlord. 440 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 4: He'll survive because he's a survivor. But the next investment 441 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 4: he makes will not be in New York. He will 442 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 4: move and come down to Texas. He'll go down to Florida, 443 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 4: he'll go down to Alabama and yes, Mississippi, and we'll 444 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:39,120 Speaker 4: see a building. 445 00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,560 Speaker 1: Boom in places like that, which is exactly what we've experienced. 446 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 4: Oh, if Zora Mundani wins, it's going to be bad 447 00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 4: in New York, and I'll be the guy saying I 448 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 4: told you so.
