00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 5: In Long Island has such a rich history, and aviation especially,

45
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 5: I mean when you think, I think even in it.

46
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 5: It's actually in the district where Charles Limberg actually took

47
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 5: off in Roosevelt field Field and across the Atlantic, and

48
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 5: that was just a real amazing thing.

49
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 6: He was a hero of mine. Actually, my dog is

50
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,360
Speaker 6: named Charles Limberg. A girl.

51
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 3: I love that awesome.

52
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, but I love aviation. I became a pilot

53
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 5: later on, not in the Air Force. I was a

54
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 5: security policeman in.

55
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 6: The Air Force. But I always loved aviation.

56
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 5: It's the perfect blend of science and adventure and I just.

57
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 6: Really love it.

58
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 1: So that's great.

59
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 7: So were you were a pilot just personally for yourself?

60
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 7: You didn't work in the field.

61
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 3: No, you have what he inspired his daughter who's now

62
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: a pilot.

63
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 6: Yeah, sixteen years old.

64
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 5: She can fly a plane by herself. But that's incredible

65
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 5: car by herself.

66
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 4: Did she do the Boss program?

67
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 6: She didn't know.

68
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 5: It's funny, because I love aviation so much. I offered

69
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 5: my three children flight lessons and she jumped on it.

70
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 6: So at sixteen, that's what she wants to do.

71
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 5: She's going to be a pilot. She wants to be

72
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 5: a commercial pilot. Wowly for the airlines or Red Bull.

73
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,519
Speaker 3: All right, hey whatever, I mean, she's gonna learn a

74
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 3: skillets And she's a beautiful young lady.

75
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 6: She's amazing well on her way. Yeah, she's doing very well.

76
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 7: So what'd you do after that? After you had a

77
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 7: young pilot career?

78
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 6: After that?

79
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 5: Well, I wasn't a pilot until later in life. I

80
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 5: actually I worked since I was thirteen. We had a

81
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 5: wonderful home. I had a great upbringing, great parents, a

82
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 5: great family based in faith and service, and just really

83
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 5: great way to grow up. We have a lot, yeah exactly, Yeah,

84
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 5: just like I would like my kids to be raised.

85
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 5: That's what we're doing. But we didn't have much, so

86
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 5: I had to work early. I was thirteen years old

87
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,800
Speaker 5: and I'd got my first job. I was washing dishes

88
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 5: at Alfredo's Swiss la in Hicksville.

89
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, which was great.

90
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 5: You know, the waitresses would take me out in the

91
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 5: parking lot and let me drive their cars at the

92
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 5: end of the night, which was a big treat. So

93
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 5: mine working until eleven twelve o'clock at night. So, but

94
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 5: I joined the Civil Air Patrol, you know, which was great,

95
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: which is kind of like a setup for the military

96
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: later on. There's a lot of military discipline and that

97
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,200
Speaker 5: kind of thing, but search and rescue techniques. Civil Air

98
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: Patrol is really a wonderful organization. It really is incredible.

99
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 5: It's the US Air Force Auxiliary and what they do

100
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 5: is they supplement search and rescue missions. So you learn

101
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 5: a lot of search and rescue techniques and you know,

102
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 5: mostly circular.

103
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 6: Well, I could get into it. But you know, there's a.

104
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: Man, it sounds like it would be something really exciting

105
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: to it is it's like.

106
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 6: The flying like the flying Boy Scouts.

107
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 3: That's awesome.

108
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, pretty wild, pretty pretty cool, pretty cool thing.

109
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 3: I didn't know if they offer that anymore.

110
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 6: I think cool? Do they they're around?

111
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't know about my troop is still around.

112
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 5: But I love that though.

113
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 8: Yeah.

114
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 6: It's really great, great organization, really really good.

115
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 7: So what kinds of experiences did that give you and

116
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 7: where did that lead you?

117
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 5: Well, actually gave me some really amazing experiences. One of

118
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 5: them was I was able to fly in a case

119
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 5: one thirty five, which is a refue aircraft, you know.

120
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 6: In mid air refueling fueling, which is pretty pretty amazing.

121
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,839
Speaker 5: So you actually sit in the back of the of

122
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: the plane and you know, in the boom area and

123
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 5: you you know, I sat next to the guy and

124
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 5: you're laying on your stomach like kind of like this

125
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,000
Speaker 5: and while the guys manipulating the boom and then you

126
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 5: have these there were f sixteens that came up underneath us,

127
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 5: and there.

128
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: Like being a mission impartible our top gun.

129
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 5: For a young kid to do that, there was, you know,

130
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 5: incredible fun, so much fun. I got to go around

131
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 5: Air Force one for the first time, which was great.

132
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 5: We did a u a trip to uh Andrew's.

133
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 6: Air Force Base, which was pretty nice.

134
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,239
Speaker 1: That's nice.

135
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,799
Speaker 5: And then on the weekends, you know, there's private pilots

136
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 5: that offer their aircraft and everything for search and rescue missions,

137
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: so they go and do training. So when you go

138
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 5: to the airport at the Republic Airport, we would sometimes

139
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 5: get to fly, which was especially when you couldn't afford

140
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 5: it back that. I couldn't afford flight lessons back then,

141
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 5: and I definitely wouldn't ask my parents for that.

142
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 3: You're you that that's.

143
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: What the school led you into the air Force?

144
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:03,279
Speaker 8: It did?

145
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 1: And how many years did you serve?

146
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 6: I served just under four years.

147
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: I signed up for four years, but I was trained

148
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:14,719
Speaker 5: as a security policeman. I was trained down in Lackland

149
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 5: Air Force Base and then was actually stationed in Crete,

150
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: Greece at Irakli On Air Station, Crete, Greece, which is

151
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: pretty good duty if you can get it right.

152
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, full area, yeah absolutely.

153
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 6: But it was an amazing time back then.

154
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:29,160
Speaker 9: It was.

155
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 5: I was in from eighty eight until ninety one. The

156
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 5: Middle end of ninety one and in eighty nine the

157
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 5: Berlin Walking Down. I happened to be in Berlin when

158
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 5: that occurred. Wow, which was an amazing time. I mean,

159
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 5: it really felt like there was never going to be

160
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 5: another war.

161
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 8: The next day.

162
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 4: After that happened only right, yeah, yeah, yeah, but.

163
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 6: It was a pretty amazing time.

164
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 5: Like a year and a half after that, in ninety one,

165
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 5: the Soviet Union fell apart, So you know, the president

166
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 5: the time said, you know, we're gonna we don't need

167
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 5: a big military anymore. So if you're a first termer

168
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 5: in Europe, you could get out. I just happened to

169
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 5: have met a young lady and fell in love for

170
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 5: the first time, and she was a German girl, And

171
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 5: I moved to Germany, learned the language, and built a

172
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 5: business there and went to school as much as I

173
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 5: could there, but there wasn't much I could do there

174
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 5: in that regard. But came back after that and decided

175
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 5: to go to school. But I worked at law school. Right, well,

176
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 5: I had to go to college first, but I worked.

177
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 5: I had to work a full time job. Nobody was

178
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 5: paying for my colleges with me, so been there. Yeah,

179
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 5: so I had a full time job at CBS Broadcasting

180
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 5: in Manhattan.

181
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 4: What were you doing there?

182
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 5: I worked for my father was a president of Operating

183
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 5: Engineers Local thirty in Queen's and so I worked in

184
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 5: the engineering department as a helper, which was a pretty

185
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 5: good experience. I got to meet a lot of the

186
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 5: newscasters and have discussions with them about Guo politics, which

187
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 5: is one of my favorite topics.

188
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 7: That of what helped push you toward law school some

189
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 7: of those encounters and like what made you want to

190
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 7: continue and go on to law school.

191
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 6: I love the law.

192
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 5: I love knowing the law love I love the equal

193
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 5: application of the law. I really love certain types of law,

194
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 5: which are the types of law I didn't get into,

195
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,040
Speaker 5: but I really love constitutional law, I love criminal law.

196
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 6: I really enjoyed them a lot.

197
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 4: So what did you end up focusing on for your well?

198
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 6: My dad.

199
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 5: My dad, as a union member, was exposed to asbestos

200
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 5: quite a bit, and in reality, a lot of the

201
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 5: union members did as were as well, and they were

202
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 5: affected by it. My dad wound up dying from not

203
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 5: a malignant disease. He had pluralplaques and loss of elasticity

204
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 5: of the lungs, and he died from it. But what

205
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 5: really struck me about that was that the asbestos companies

206
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 5: knew for decades that it causes cancer and kills people,

207
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 5: but they didn't say anything for decades. And you think

208
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 5: of the countless n was of people that died from.

209
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 4: It and suffered, yeah at a loss.

210
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, So that that galvanized my my desire to to

211
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 5: really do something about that.

212
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 3: Sounds like them, all of the powers that be in

213
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 3: every aspect.

214
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so that led you you formed your.

215
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: Own law firm.

216
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 6: I formed my own law firm.

217
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: And then how did nine to eleven come into into play?

218
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 5: Well, nine to eleven occurred just months before we started

219
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 5: the firm. Okay, so we didn't have a lot of

220
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 5: resources at the time. I had, I had generated a

221
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 5: lot of business. I came up with a software and

222
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 5: developed the software that actually helped generate a lot of

223
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,599
Speaker 5: business and and it was able to fund us for

224
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 5: a little while. So we uh, you know, when nine

225
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 5: to eleven happened, you know, it was a very patriotic time,

226
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 5: and I wanted to do something. We decided to represent

227
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 5: affected people for free, you know, for pro bono. I

228
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 5: just you know, there were there were no other law

229
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 5: firms that were really doing it, but I felt like

230
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 5: we really needed to do it, and we did.

231
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 3: Which it's a hard way to start off, right.

232
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,440
Speaker 6: It is, but they were.

233
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: But it was shocking to me because a lot of firms,

234
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 5: I mean very rich firms that were charging not just

235
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 5: a third a third is standard in New York, they

236
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 5: were charging forty percent. Wow, getting the okay to charge

237
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: forty percent. And these cases were significantly easier than anything

238
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: that you would have to do in the court system

239
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 5: because you don't have the normal due process aspects of it.

240
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,319
Speaker 4: That you have to some audacity.

241
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly.

242
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,119
Speaker 7: It's like praying upon people right when they're vulnerable, exploiting

243
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 7: people and in a vulnerable position, and now you're in

244
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 7: a position to help them and they just want quick,

245
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 7: rapid help.

246
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 1: And now you see the results of twenty some years later.

247
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 7: Now you know I lost a friend, well it's ten

248
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 7: years ago, one of my college friends.

249
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 8: Yeah.

250
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 3: Well then he went on to has become a very

251
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 3: successful law firm and lawyer, which so that you know,

252
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 3: that heart in the beginning I think paid off hopefully

253
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: in the end.

254
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 5: That's kind of how I'd like to live my life.

255
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 5: I'm good to the people around me. I like to

256
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 5: be engaged in the community and the issues of the day.

257
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 5: And yeah, that's that's where really gets me going.

258
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: That's the best.

259
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:06,640
Speaker 1: That's great, it is.

260
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:08,439

Speaker 2: what you're doing now. And you're, like I said, you're

294
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,360

00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 2: were you know, when you win, not if you win,

296
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 2: but when you win when, make sure that you're going

297
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 2: to win.

298
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 3: And uh, let's go, let's just talk about its county

299
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: greed again.

300
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, crime and safety.

301
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 5: I mean we really need to, uh, we really need

302
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 5: to bring back broken windows policing. I think we need

303
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 5: to do exactly what what Rudy Giuliani.

304
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, you know love that worry.

305
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,559
Speaker 5: About the little things. When you let let the little

306
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 5: things go, then the big.

307
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 6: Things starts, right.

308
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:04,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, the prerequisent.

309
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 6: You need to back our police.

310
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 5: We need to we need to give them the tools

311
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 5: that they need to do their job instead of funding them,

312
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: supporting them, and be funding them exactly we need to

313
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,240
Speaker 5: We need to give greater resources to the district attorneys

314
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,719
Speaker 5: who actually prosecute the crimes that our police go out

315
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 5: there and risk their lives to bring in. And instead

316
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 5: of just having this revolving door of cashless bail.

317
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, catch them release, catch and release, absolutely ridiculous. I

318
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 7: think between the catch and the catch and release and

319
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 7: the bail reform, and then also this idea that you know,

320
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 7: police should be able to be held personally civilly responsible

321
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 7: if something goes wrong on the job. I get that

322
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 7: there are some egregious police officers out there, but it's

323
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 7: not the majority as a whole, and I think it

324
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 7: shackles them because they don't feel confident absolutely the job

325
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,439
Speaker 7: that they need to do. So not only is there

326
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 7: no real reward because they do the job, and even

327
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 7: when they do it well, those people land right back

328
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 7: out on the street. But to do the job well

329
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 7: sometimes requires force or difficult things can come into question,

330
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 7: and who wants to risk their their livelihood, their home,

331
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 7: their life, their reputation, or maybe even their freedom.

332
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 5: Well, I think taking away that immunity is exactly what

333
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 5: what handcuffs. Like you said, we need. We need to

334
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,240
Speaker 5: back our police, not handcuff to handcuff them. They make

335
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 5: their jobs and more difficult.

336
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 3: Let's go. I mean, the one very good thing I

337
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 3: could say is, you know, thank god Nasa County is

338
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 3: one of the safest counties in the country. It really is,

339
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: and that is a great thing to come into. I mean,

340
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 3: of course there's always room to make it better, but

341
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 3: that's one thing I'm very happy to For the amount

342
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 3: of money we spend to live there.

343
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 7: I do spend a lot of money, which brings us

344
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
Speaker 7: to taxes.

345
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:38,200
Speaker 4: Let's talk about Long Island property taxes.

346
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 6: Don't get me started, because.

347
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 4: That's not hard.

348
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 7: Just on, like a homeowner living in their homes. It

349
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 7: causes rent to go up every It increases the cost

350
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 7: of living for everybody, no matter if you're in ownership

351
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 7: or not.

352
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 4: So what are some strategies there?

353
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 5: Well in general that that's actually one of the reasons

354
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 5: I'm running. I'm running because you know, I was told

355
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 5: when I was a kid by my dad and my

356
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 5: mom that you can work hard. It doesn't matter if

357
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 5: you're rich or poor, whatever. If you work hard. If

358
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: you do the right thing, if you pay your taxes,

359
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 5: you go to work every day, you deal with a

360
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 5: monotony of day to day, and you try to make

361
00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 5: your world and your country and your community a better

362
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 5: place to live, you will succeed. And thankfully that was

363
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 5: right for me. It actually worked out for me. But

364
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 5: I'm very far kids for my kids, and your kids

365
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 5: buy their kids, and that's why I'm doing this.

366
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 6: I'm not doing this for me. I'm fine.

367
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 7: My daughter left the state as a for what was

368
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,880
Speaker 7: she in four years she got tenure as a school

369
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 7: teacher on Long Island. She left because she didn't see

370
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 7: a future that was right here, and very few people stay.

371
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 7: So then you're also searching for community, people doing life,

372
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 7: your age, having kids working.

373
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: It's really rough here.

374
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 6: It's very rough. It's very rough.

375
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 5: Property taxes and what do you get for it. I mean,

376
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 5: it's just insane.

377
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 3: I'm looking at houses myself right now in our district,

378
00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,480
Speaker 3: specifically in my town. It's sticked next to impossible to

379
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: you know, to afford something or even find something. It's

380
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,440
Speaker 3: just hard.

381
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 5: I was able to come back. I mean, I I

382
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 5: lived abroad for a while. I lived in Manhattan, for

383
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 5: a number of years, and I came back here to

384
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 5: raise my family.

385
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 6: I don't think that's.

386
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,320
Speaker 5: A possibility for a lot of the children of our

387
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 5: friends and my friends and my children and their children.

388
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 6: And that's what scares me.

389
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 1: And is such a beautiful it's so beautiful.

390
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 4: It's a nice place.

391
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: It's beautiful.

392
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny.

393
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 5: You know, when everything started going haywire under the Biden administration,

394
00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 5: my wife said, you know what, it's getting crazy.

395
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 6: We should move.

396
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 5: We should go down to North Carolina. And we had

397
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 5: talked about that, and I said, I thought to myself, no,

398
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 5: we're not running away.

399
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 6: This is our home.

400
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 3: You know a great name too.

401
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 5: By the way, someone breaks into your home, you don't

402
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 5: go scurrying out the back door, and you stay and fight.

403
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 5: And you see, that's right, that's what's worth. That's that's

404
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 5: the most important thing is.

405
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,280
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons why when people say, I'm

406
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 3: surprised you're still in New York. I don't want to

407
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: get run out of New York. I'm not ready to

408
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 3: go yet. I feel like some of us have to

409
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 3: stay back and fight and until God tells me otherwise,

410
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,959
Speaker 3: I'm here to do it. But it's not easy, but

411
00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:10,280
Speaker 3: it's the greatest state in the world, in the world,

412
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,639
Speaker 3: I think New York is like the epicenter of like

413
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 3: it has so many ACA. Yeah, and then Long Island

414
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 3: and Nasa County, I mean the whole island. Obviously we're

415
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 3: in Suffolk now, but our county is a great county,

416
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 3: you know, and I want to keep it that way. Yeah,

417
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: that's why we need you.

418
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 7: So can you talk to us about some of your

419
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 7: strategies more specifically, like how would you go about helping

420
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 7: reduce cost of living, reduce property taxes in New York

421
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 7: and give some sort of relief to the working person.

422
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think by and large, what we

423
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,760
Speaker 5: need to do is we need to stop spending money

424
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 5: that we don't have. We need to really be more effective,

425
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 5: and we need to we need to be more fiscalre

426
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 5: with the money that we're spending. I mean, I think

427
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,919
Speaker 5: we're mortgaging our children's future and our grandchildren's future for

428
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: comfort today.

429
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 6: For us, that's not right, that's not right.

430
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 8: Do you know the.

431
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 5: Household the household for our national debt for each household

432
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 5: is two hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars.

433
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,960
Speaker 3: I believe it. I love it.

434
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 4: Does that include mortgage debt?

435
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 6: No, that includes that.

436
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 5: That's that's our portion of the debt, our portion of

437
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 5: the national debt, the thirty.

438
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 6: Seven trillion dollars. Your lord, isn't that crazy.

439
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 1: It's insane. It's insanity.

440
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,880
Speaker 5: And that's supposed to go that that that encompasses, is it.

441
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,320
Speaker 5: I don't want to give a wrong a wrong percentage,

442
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 5: so I won't say it, but but that number is

443
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 5: supposed to go up quite significantly, and then by twenty

444
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 5: fifty three, that's supposed to go up seventy nine percent.

445
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 7: Oh my god, I hate to say this, but the

446
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 7: Big Beautiful Bill did not help that.

447
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 6: It didn't not that, not that, not that.

448
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 5: But you know what, we're we're changing around, we're changing well. Actually,

449
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 5: you know what, I would back up on that. I

450
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: would argue with you on that.

451
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, but I'm not gonna argue.

452
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 7: I would tell me, tell us well, because that's been

453
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:58,320
Speaker 7: a big argument out there, and a lot of the

454
00:18:58,359 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 7: things that I've looked at.

455
00:18:59,119 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: I'm no expert.

456
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 7: I haven't dug in and read every little thing, but

457
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 7: I think I've definitely felt it felt fell very short.

458
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 5: Well, the reduction in certain taxes, reduction, certain corporate taxes,

459
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 5: reduction in taking care of working people. There no tax

460
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 5: on tips, no taps on overtime. I mean that really helps.

461
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 5: That helps someone who's who's really trying to make ends meet.

462
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 5: I mean, I know some single mothers that I was

463
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 5: talking talking to that that that are that are waitresses,

464
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 5: they're there, they get tax on.

465
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:27,359
Speaker 6: Their tips, not anymore.

466
00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:29,679
Speaker 5: That's gonna help quite quite quite a lot, especially when

467
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 5: the cost of childcare and and what it costs to

468
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 5: raise a kid in this in this in this district especially,

469
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 5: it's it's absolutely insane. But I think we just need

470
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 5: to be very cautious about how we spend our money.

471
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 5: And I think President Trump is doing a fantastic job.

472
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 5: He's reducing he's reducing regulations, he's reducing taxes, He's gonna

473
00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 5: hopefully extend.

474
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,679
Speaker 4: Those tax cuts, yeah, credits.

475
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 6: And what that does is that.

476
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 5: Creates greater economic uh and economic environment for entrepreneurs, the

477
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 5: people who actually create jobs.

478
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 6: You know, I'm I'm from a union family.

479
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,439
Speaker 5: I believe in the American worker and doing everything that

480
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 5: we can because they're the people who bring us to prosperities.

481
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 8: Right.

482
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,159
Speaker 5: However, it also takes the entrepreneurs and the people who

483
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 5: are building businesses because we don't have jobs without that right,

484
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 5: so we need So I'm a very pro business but

485
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 5: also very pro worker, pro union candidate.

486
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: That's awesome, and we have to continue to root out

487
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: this waste, fraud and abuse. Absolutely, it's criminal.

488
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 1: It's so criminal how they've gotten.

489
00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 2: Away with what has taken place all these years and

490
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 2: it's just been hidden.

491
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:32,760
Speaker 6: And that's another thing.

492
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 5: You know, you have, you have, like I said, all

493
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 5: these people out there, the people in this country who

494
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,320
Speaker 5: work their hard, who work hard every day, deal with

495
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 5: them monotony, go through and worry about their bills, but

496
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 5: pay their tax I know.

497
00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 3: What you're talking about.

498
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:51,080
Speaker 7: Okay, But the good people of this country, especially in

499
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 7: my district, in our district are they don't have representation.

500
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 5: They have the appearance of representation they have, and and

501
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 5: when you have like one of my issues is trading.

502
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 5: Are members of Congress trading on non public information and

503
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 5: increasing their wealth exponentially with one hundred and seventy nine

504
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 5: thousand dollars a year job, becoming multimillionaires in just a

505
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 5: couple of years.

506
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 6: And how do they do that?

507
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 5: They do that because they're able to do something in

508
00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 5: Congress that they're not allowed to do on Wall Street.

509
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 5: The button sold and that insensus me because what they did.

510
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 5: You know, there's this there's something called the Stock Act

511
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 5: which prevents you from doing doing these kind of things.

512
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 6: However, what happens is.

513
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 5: The enforcement of the Stock Act violations is not done

514
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 5: is not done by an outside entity. It's done by

515
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 5: Congress itself, the fox in the front of right watching.

516
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 2: That's like one of the basics of like accounting. You

517
00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 2: don't have a person receding that puts, you know, counsel

518
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: the money that goes to the bank.

519
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,880
Speaker 1: You know, you don't exactly.

520
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 7: So I'm going to assume or guess that these are

521
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 7: not wildly popular beliefs within the establishment on either side,

522
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 7: because we see the corruption throughout in the UNI Party.

523
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 7: So I'm just curious, like, how do you feel like

524
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 7: you'll be able to stand that kind of ground and

525
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 7: how are you going to make a difference when you

526
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:12,719
Speaker 7: get elected.

527
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 6: That's a good question.

528
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:14,320
Speaker 3: We've just got it.

529
00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: We've got about a mitt and fifteen left.

530
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,159
Speaker 6: So okay, I can try and squeeze.

531
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:18,520
Speaker 1: Okay, well, now we'll come back to it.

Speaker 2: to you and to you know.

566
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we left off on the wrong island.

567
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, to all of.

568
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 7: Us, anybody who's awaken awayre and been paying attention and

569
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 7: aggravated and fed up. We were talking about You were

570
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 7: specifically talking about the insider stock trading that goes on

571
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,120
Speaker 7: in the Congress and with our elected representatives. And there

572
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 7: are clearly other things. I'm sure everybody has a top

573
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 7: list of things that they think are the biggest, most

574
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 7: egregious problems that we have. The question is how will you,

575
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 7: as a member of Congress fight against that to represent

576
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:06,959
Speaker 7: the people truly?

577
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question. The way that I intend

578
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 5: to fight for it is, you know, I'm incorruptible. I've

579
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 5: there's no one who can get to me, who can

580
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 5: pay me off, who can do anything like that. I've

581
00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 5: been very successful in my life. I built two of

582
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 5: the top law firms in New York. They're nationally recognized,

583
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 5: and I did that by treating the people who work

584
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 5: for me very very well and doing right by them.

585
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:34,680
Speaker 5: That's what I attribute my success to. But like I said,

586
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 5: I'm incorruptible, and I have a responsibility, and I considered

587
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 5: a very sacred responsibility to be the best possible candidate

588
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 5: I could be. So I'm actually going around the clocks.

589
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 5: Is starting a week ago, doing everything from learning every issue,

590
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 5: learning every issue, getting policy briefings, getting briefings on Congress.

591
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,320
Speaker 3: He already went to Congress and took a class. Oh wow,

592
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 3: the same.

593
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's great.

594
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 3: I meant to DC to take a call.

595
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 5: But I couldn't possibly ask people for their trust and

596
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 5: support unless I was willing to do everything I could

597
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 5: possibly do.

598
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 6: I stepped away from my firms.

599
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:10,159
Speaker 5: I'm not I don't need to go and grab with

600
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 5: both hands for the next twenty years and make as

601
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 5: much money as I can.

602
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:13,120
Speaker 6: Now.

604
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 5: not We're pretty humble people. You know, we just you know,

605
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 5: everything is fine, and I want to and this is

606
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 5: how I want to, uh, this is how I want

607
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 5: to spend my.

635
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 4: What inspired you to want to run?

636
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:39,959
Speaker 8: You know, I've again, you know military, you know, but

637
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 8: I was in the military four years when I graduated

638
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,240
Speaker 8: high school and all that kind of stuff. I got

639
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 8: out and I became a volunteer fireman. You know, I

640
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 8: do that, and I you know, I'm a bricklayer. And

641
00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:51,120
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden I became a bossity wrestling coach.

642
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 8: I was a wrestling coach for twenty seven years at

643
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 8: a high school, and you know, not having a college education,

644
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 8: they hired me to be the Vosity coach. And you know,

645
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,159
Speaker 8: when you make a difference in the kids' lives and

646
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 8: you do things what the right things are, for the

647
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,560
Speaker 8: right people, for the right reasons, and you get good results.

648
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,080
Speaker 8: It's not about winning. It's what you could teach them

649
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 8: in life. Most of my kids now are doing they're cops,

650
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 8: they're doctors, they're doing all this stuff. My dad was

651
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 8: a wrestling coach. My dad is the founder of kid

652
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 8: wrestling on the Holies Coast, and I kind of lived

653
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 8: his legacy a little bit. He's a bricklayer also, you know,

654
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:23,880
Speaker 8: and you know what family and values mean a lot

655
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 8: to me and bringing that family value to the legislator

656
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 8: to make them work together to get things done the

657
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 8: right way. I just left, you know, we had a

658
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,199
Speaker 8: little bit of debate on what was going on and

659
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 8: if we bring the families to the table, representation will

660
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,280
Speaker 8: be right, you know, and a lot of stuff.

661
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 7: That we're doing, it's been lacking for so long and

662
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,679
Speaker 7: it feels like, I mean, this is one of the

663
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 7: things that we were in my questions, in our questions.

664
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,640
Speaker 7: You know, we've been paying attention for a long time,

665
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:54,479
Speaker 7: all the ladies on this stage, as many of our

666
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 7: watchers and viewers, and we see how corrupted both sides

667
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 7: have been, even the conservative side the Republican side, and

668
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,880
Speaker 7: it's problematic and we cannot allow it any longer. And

669
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 7: so you know, my question to you is, after coming

670
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,640
Speaker 7: out of a meeting and having hearty debate with constituents,

671
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 7: you know, are you seeing a change a shift for

672
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 7: people to actually walk in in integrity and serve the

673
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 7: public well or do you think do you feel like

674
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 7: it's so entrenched it's going to be a very very big,

675
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 7: uphill battle, even at the local level, because it happens

676
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 7: right here in our own neighborhoods.

677
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 3: Dirty.

678
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,720
Speaker 8: Since since I got on a campaign trail, I've got

679
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 8: involved with, you know, the Republicans or Conservatives who backed me,

680
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 8: of course, you know, and the Democrats that I know.

681
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 8: You know, you know, we all know each we only

682
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 8: know each other, you know, and they know My ground

683
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 8: base is basic. But I've seen our Suffolk County has

684
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 8: kind of really starting to come together to fight the

685
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 8: right reasons, fight for everything for the right reasons. I think,

686
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 8: you know, law enforcement's important, you know, everybody law enforcement protection.

687
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 8: Right now, they're going after you know, the prostitution and

688
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 8: all this stuff, the women, you know, all the right

689
00:29:00,880 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 8: stuff that we've got to get people going in the

690
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 8: right direction. You know, kids programs, you know, mental health

691
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 8: issues and stuff like that. There's all kinds of stuff

692
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,200
Speaker 8: that we're starting to tackle. So I'm kind of impressed,

693
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,440
Speaker 8: and I'm hoping that i can help push the way.

694
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,080
Speaker 8: You know, I'm just like I said, I'm a basic guy.

695
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 8: I don't come in on this level. I come in

696
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 8: on ground level. My boots are on the ground that

697
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 8: I'm going to run.

698
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,360
Speaker 2: And that speaks, that speaks to who the community is,

699
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 2: you know it does.

700
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,800
Speaker 3: That's it also with both of our candidates here tonight.

701
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,640
Speaker 3: I think maybe you guys can correct me if I'm wrong.

702
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 3: Coming from a military background and thank you for your service, yes,

703
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 3: guess I always want to thank you guys. I want

704
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: to believe that you've already fought for the country and

705
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 3: you've seen how downhill it's gone. Now it's like, this

706
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 3: is your time to rise up again and defend us

707
00:29:45,960 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 3: again on a different level, because that's the training that

708
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 3: you guys had and probably the heart that brought you

709
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,440
Speaker 3: in the first place. And I love when the veterans

710
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,600
Speaker 3: step up to do this. That's why I was part

711
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 3: of a veteran's you know campaign, because there's a different grit.

712
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 3: You guys have a different love for the country, and

713
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,760
Speaker 3: I think I put a lot of trust in that

714
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 3: in your fight.

715
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's funny, Well, I served in the

716
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 5: Cold War, in the final years of the Cold War

717
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 5: fighting the Communists right now, to think we're doing in

718
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,400
Speaker 5: our own backyard, yeah yeah, yeah, that really galvanizes my resolva.

719
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 2: I mean, we're looking at a communist mayor in New

720
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: York City.

721
00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's demonic right.

722
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: Around the corner. You know.

723
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 7: Well, the thing is, it's it's now, that's just in

724
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 7: your face. The truth is communism has invaded every institution,

725
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 7: our politics, our education system, our healthcare system, our business,

726
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:42,080
Speaker 7: our legal system. It's literally invaded everything Marxist communist ideologies.

727
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 7: So that's that's a massive thing to have to fight

728
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 7: against when it's been decades of slow, slowly subversing our

729
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 7: democracy or republics.

730
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,200
Speaker 1: How they do it, Yeah, people didn't even know what

731
00:30:56,280 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: was happening.

732
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:58,680
Speaker 5: And that's the thing we're not. We're not just fighting

733
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 5: We're not just fighting the communists. We're not just fighting China.

734
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 5: We're not just fighting Russia. We're not fighting all these

735
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 5: different agency wars everywhere. I mean, we're fighting it on

736
00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,200
Speaker 5: our own backyard. I mean in our country right now.

737
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 5: I mean, to think about it scared me the last

738
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:12,960
Speaker 5: couple of.

739
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 6: Years under the Biden administration, to see.

740
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 5: What's happened in our in our education system, to see

741
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 5: what's happened in our higher education systems, even to these

742
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 5: ridiculous protests, these George Soros funded protests. I mean, that's

743
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 5: just a threat to national security beyond belief. I mean,

744
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 5: that's almost as bad as China. China, China, China steals.

745
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 5: We're at war with China, I mean, make no bones

746
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,200
Speaker 5: a bat're economic war with China.

747
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 6: China China.

748
00:31:38,160 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 5: China as an authoritarian government, they wage economic war on

749
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 5: us by identifying let's say the EV's in the United States,

750
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,880
Speaker 5: the EV industry, and what they'll do is they'll subsidize

751
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,040
Speaker 5: a one hundred thousand dollars car and charge ten thousand

752
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:53,880
Speaker 5: dollars for it and flood our market with it, so

753
00:31:54,040 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 5: it completely eviscerates our industrial base. And when it eviscerates

754
00:31:57,480 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 5: our industrial base, we can't fight a war when they're

755
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 5: time to fight a war becomes because then we can't

756
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:07,280
Speaker 5: we can't repurpose our manufacturing industrial base to wartime needs.

757
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 5: And that's why they do it, and that's what we

758
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,240
Speaker 5: have to be aware of. I mean, that's why we

759
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 5: have to really fight it in our country, and we

760
00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 5: have to fight it hard.

761
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 8: I believe our country is ready for anything. I really

762
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,320
Speaker 8: I was. You know, I was a guns missiles and

763
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 8: you know when I worked I was in baggered Lebanon

764
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 8: when I blew to the embassy up, and uh, you know,

765
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,560
Speaker 8: we're ready. We're ready for anything. It's just that hands

766
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 8: can't be tied. You got to do what you have

767
00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 8: to do. And uh, you know, we have to make

768
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 8: tough decisions. And uh, it's tough.

769
00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:35,480
Speaker 5: Well, when you have when you have when you have

770
00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 5: the most powerful military and the most powerful economy in

771
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 5: the world wielded by a weak man like under Biden.

772
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:43,520
Speaker 5: You don't have the most powerful military and you don't

773
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:45,600
Speaker 5: have the most powerful economy either, But when you have

774
00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 5: it wielded by a Donald Trump, you do.

775
00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 6: And that's what we're seeing.

776
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 10: And we're seeing what he did, what he did with

777
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 10: Australia today, yesterday or whatever he did, and with the

778
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 10: minerals and all that stuff.

779
00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,000
Speaker 8: That's a big move.

780
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 6: It's a big move.

781
00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 8: That's a big move right there.

782
00:32:58,080 --> 00:32:58,720
Speaker 6: And that's the thing.

783
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,600
Speaker 5: We need people to make big books, we need him

784
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 5: to make big and he's making no.

785
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:06,240
Speaker 3: Just so many things to come.

786
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: It's only it's not even it's nine months.

787
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 3: Yeah's doing miracles.

788
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: He's done amazing, amazing.

789
00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 8: Yeah.

790
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 5: We need to replenish the petroleum reserve, I mean the

791
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 5: emergency petroleum reserve. We need to open up for drilling.

792
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 5: We need to drill baby drills. Right, we were energy

793
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 5: independent and unfortunately, you know what we what Biden has

794
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 5: done and by taking away those licenses to drill and

795
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 5: forgiving it from it's good. But if he's taking away

796
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 5: the licenses to drill, then we're going to be looking

797
00:33:34,160 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 5: to our enemies to serve our needs for our fuel,

798
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 5: for our military. We're going to be a war in

799
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,160
Speaker 5: the next couple of years. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

800
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 5: That's why I'm I shuddered to think what would have

801
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 5: happened if Kamala Harris wont It's important.

802
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 3: It's important to connect boys.

803
00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's important to connect all the dots to whether

804
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 7: it's at the national you know, national level, on the

805
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:55,120
Speaker 7: local level, but you know, all of the all of

806
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:58,080
Speaker 7: the all of the policies, like you know, you look

807
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 7: at the EI, you look at the green space and

808
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:08,320
Speaker 7: sustainability and the environment and global warming, and you see

809
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 7: how all these things tee up and the trickle down

810
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 7: of what they package up like a nice little bow.

811
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 7: It sounds like this, this is good. We should want

812
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 7: to take care of our earth, we should want to

813
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 7: include everybody and everybody be fair. But it's a slow,

814
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,319
Speaker 7: insidious burn. And like just with the cars and the

815
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,319
Speaker 7: fuel they start. Man, you know your carbon footprint and

816
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 7: your net what is it?

817
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 4: Net zero? You know, these things are.

818
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 7: A push towards stuff that is weakening our society overall.

819
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 4: You cannot connect those stuffs.

820
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 8: Mandates, unfunded mandates and mandates that you have to use

821
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,279
Speaker 8: the electric buses. Look what I'm on a school board,

822
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 8: and I'm telling you, you know, eighteen years on a

823
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 8: school board, these unfunded mandates that are being delivered down

824
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 8: to the schools, and what we have to deal with

825
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 8: that We have to go to the tax pays ask

826
00:34:51,480 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 8: them to pay for stuff that we don't really need.

827
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 8: But we got to do it so we can get

828
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 8: federal funding. It's just a different bowl game. I mean

829
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 8: to have electric buses, got it, We need electric. But

830
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 8: have you have a foid electric fire? Right?

831
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 1: There is no fighting it is to burn out.

832
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:07,759
Speaker 4: You can speak to that.

833
00:35:08,640 --> 00:35:11,799
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well that's something you can fight out at

834
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 7: the local level.

835
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 6: Local control, local control.

836
00:35:14,200 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 4: Not regionalization, and that's where it has to start.

837
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 8: Yeah.

838
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:19,279

856
00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 1: out there. Yes, to be able to serve their public.

857
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 3: It is absolutely we want up to a little in

858
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: really quick. If these things matter to me, think about it. Bricklayer,

859
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,840
Speaker 3: you've been working hard your whole life. Bord of Ed

860
00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:09,520
Speaker 3: trustee cares about the children, but running too a burning

861
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,120
Speaker 3: building for you and as a fireman served our country.

862
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,719
Speaker 3: These are the things that are so important to a

863
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:19,040
Speaker 3: constituent to me character someone does those things, I know

864
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:20,440
Speaker 3: they're going to have our back, and I want the

865
00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 3: audience to know that.

866
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 1: That's one hundred percent correct.

867
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 7: I think America is largely over the smooth talkers. They

868
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:29,920
Speaker 7: want we were just talking about this. People want to

869
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 7: want authentic human beings to be public servants. That's what

870
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 7: our country was founded on. It was founded on the

871
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 7: principle of serving. People lost everything. They lost their fortune,

872
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,000
Speaker 7: they lost their lives, they lost their reputation.

873
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:41,880
Speaker 4: You know.

874
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 3: So, and these guys are walking away from their careers.

875
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:46,359
Speaker 3: You know, Greg just said that. I just asked guy

877
00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 3: He's done his whole life to serve. That's huge.

878
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 8: It's a weak time time job, you know, these guys.

879
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 8: It's called a part time job, but it's a full

880
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,560
Speaker 8: time job if you do things correctly. You know, I

881
00:36:58,560 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 8: get up at three o'clock in the morning, I go

882
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 8: to work. That really doesn't I don't mind. But I'll

883
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:03,919
Speaker 8: be getting up at five o'clock in the morning. Maybe

884
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 8: I can go work out a little bit, but I

885
00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,799
Speaker 8: could start my day right on the ground.

886
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:09,520
Speaker 3: It was two hours of sleep already.

887
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,080

890
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 8: and you keep going. You know, everybody, you know, working

891
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 8: families really understand, you know, they understand that part of it.

892
00:37:25,880 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 8: I've been unemployed. I've had to you know, been out

893
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 8: of work six months. It gets cold, you don't get paid, right,

894
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:33,239
Speaker 8: get it, it's not enough work and all that. You

895
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 8: go through all these things and you know, unemployment doesn't

896
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 8: make it in your family. How are you gonna pay

897
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,200
Speaker 8: the time? You're just talking about that, yeah, you know,

898
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 8: And that's why I want to get on this right now.

899
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:43,480
Speaker 8: I want to take care of our seniors, you know,

900
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:45,759
Speaker 8: the seniors that have put that I want to do

901
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 8: uh longevity, you know, maybe tax tax freezing and all

902
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:52,479
Speaker 8: that kind of stuff. You on your your tax house

903
00:37:52,480 --> 00:37:55,040
Speaker 8: for like fifty years, you freeze your taxes. They can't

904
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,080
Speaker 8: be increased. But let's hold on that, hold the line,

905
00:37:57,320 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 8: you know. But you have to own asse once you

906
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:00,920
Speaker 8: once you get rid of the how after fifth you know,

907
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 8: it doesn't follow to whoever gets the house after you,

908
00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 8: but stuff like that. You know, we really senior has

909
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 8: built this place and we got to make sure we

910
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:08,200
Speaker 8: take care of them.

911
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 3: That's right, that's sure, some of them don't even afford groceries.

912
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 3: It's very sad.

913
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 8: It's bad.

914
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bad.

915
00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 7: It's the young and the old, right, Yes, we were

916
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 7: saying before, like the young can't afford to stay here

917
00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,640
Speaker 7: and make a life. The middle class our age are struggling,

918
00:38:22,080 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 7: and you know, and the elderly are struggling. So there's

919
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 7: a very few, very small percentage of people that aren't

920
00:38:28,040 --> 00:38:31,800
Speaker 7: struggling and having to grind really hard to go into college.

921
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,239
Speaker 8: Going to college. These kids are going out of college,

922
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:36,040
Speaker 8: they're coming out with a mortgage payment. Yeah, how do

923
00:38:36,239 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 8: how do we allow that to happen? You know, with

924
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 8: this in this day and age. Okay, let's let the

925
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,760
Speaker 8: kids go to college to help them. But it should

926
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 8: be a one percent payback once you have your full degree,

927
00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:47,960
Speaker 8: show the federal government that you have it or whatever.

928
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 8: It's a one percent pay back. It isn't a you know,

929
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,279
Speaker 8: there shouldn't be seven to eight percent on these things.

930
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 8: And it's crazy. They got mortgage payments, so how do take.

931
00:38:55,480 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 3: They can't afford it fifty thousand dollars? Yes, yes, it's

932
00:38:58,360 --> 00:38:59,799
Speaker 3: interesting in the field that she's that.

933
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: She to coure My daughter.

934
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 2: My daughter is thirty years old, and she and her

00:39:07,040 --> 00:39:09,120
Speaker 1: I'm living, you know, we live together.

937
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:10,760
Speaker 3: I can't.

938
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,239
Speaker 8: But they can't afford it.

939
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:15,280
Speaker 1: They can't afford it. It's sad.

940
00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: You know.

941
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,640
Speaker 4: They want to be seeing.

942
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 8: You're seeing. You're seeing housing. Now, what's going on with housing?

943
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 8: What's going on? Everybody's moving in together. They're having more

944
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:25,440
Speaker 8: and more you know, mother daughters and all that kind

945
00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 8: of basements.

946
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, we did it.

947
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's terrible.

948
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,960
Speaker 7: Well, corporations are buying up homes. Yes, so it also

949
00:39:32,120 --> 00:39:35,680
Speaker 7: artificially land grabs and it artificially drives the cost of

950
00:39:35,719 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 7: housing supplying demands. And there's not affordable housing on Long Island.

951
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:40,960
Speaker 4: So you know, you.

952
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,919
Speaker 8: Speak about affordable housing. What they're building around towns. They're

953
00:39:43,920 --> 00:39:46,200
Speaker 8: building all these things with the ideas, and all these

954
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 8: guys are getting and you know what these contracts that

955
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:50,920
Speaker 8: are getting these ideas. What happens is they're building these

956
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 8: big houses, they're big, to all these big apartments, and

957
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,080
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, they're all done, they're occupied.

958
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:58,440
Speaker 8: They're supposed to hold that for ten years. You know

959
00:39:58,480 --> 00:40:00,680
Speaker 8: what they're doing. They're selling it, and that idea is

960
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,720
Speaker 8: staying with that thing. It shouldn't stay. If he sold

961
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 8: it for a profit, he should pay back what he took.

962
00:40:06,920 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 8: He should be he should be invested in that community

963
00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:11,920
Speaker 8: unity is and then he can sell it.

964
00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:15,560
Speaker 7: Why are they getting why are they getting away with it? Oh, well,

965
00:40:15,600 --> 00:40:16,799
Speaker 7: they pay to get away with it.

966
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 8: You talked about it before.

967
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,920
Speaker 4: They pay to get away with it. Yeah, that's this

968
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,360
Speaker 4: is the garbage that has to stop.

969
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 7: The representation needs a change, and we have the start

970
00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 7: of that right here at the table.

971
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 3: So Greg happens to be running in my district, So

972
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 3: I know a lot more about my district in Nawson County.

973
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 3: But I guess from your standpoint of what you're hearing

974
00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 3: from the constituents what it seems to be the biggest

975
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,520
Speaker 3: threat of like the biggest issue that you need to

976
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 3: face right now in your district.

977
00:40:42,800 --> 00:40:45,399
Speaker 8: I think right now the biggest thing is what's going

978
00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 8: on around the community and and the people that own

979
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,440
Speaker 8: these businesses, right they have all homeless people and they

980
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 8: got it. We have a lot of homeless and we

981
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,239
Speaker 8: have to find a place to put them. You know,

982
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 8: we want to help people, but we can't lock them up.

983
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 8: They don't stay. So we've got to help people. But

984
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 8: those people, maybe you got to sit down next to

985
00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:04,720
Speaker 8: him once in a while and ask them, what's the matter.

986
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 8: You know, hey, how'd you get here? Well, it might

987
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 8: be a veteran sitting there and you know, he has problems,

988
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,080
Speaker 8: he needs help, but nobody would sits down. The fastest

989
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,040
Speaker 8: thing to do is lock the guy up. That and

990
00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:18,799
Speaker 8: that is not finding the problem. You know, you got

991
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 8: to you can't be part of the problem, be part

992
00:41:20,320 --> 00:41:22,239
Speaker 8: of the solution. And a lot of things that we're doing,

993
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:25,800
Speaker 8: and that's that's some things that I like to go after.

994
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 4: You know, so addressing homelessness.

995
00:41:27,280 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 8: Holmlessness, mental health. Of course, I think self a community

996
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 8: colleges college like self, a community college should be free

997
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 8: for our kids. We should find a way for them

998
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,040
Speaker 8: to get their associate's degree to get a jump start.

999
00:41:40,200 --> 00:41:42,400
Speaker 8: We have all these programs in schools, the you know,

1000
00:41:42,440 --> 00:41:44,279
Speaker 8: you got the ib programs, you got all these other

1001
00:41:44,320 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 8: programs that we have in these schools. They come out

1002
00:41:46,080 --> 00:41:48,239
Speaker 8: with college credits, they go to college for one year,

1003
00:41:48,239 --> 00:41:51,320
Speaker 8: they having a socials degree. It's helping parents, it's helping

1004
00:41:51,320 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 8: them making sure they're geting the right education. And the

1005
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,880
Speaker 8: right you know, pushing them in the right directions, and

1006
00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 8: a lot of things. Some kids they're not going to

1007
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 8: go to school. They need they need.

1008
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:02,799
Speaker 3: To go to trades, trade trades.

1009
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,160
Speaker 8: I'm a tradesman, but we need plumbers, we need electricians,

1012
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 8: Like crazy right now and in the next couple of

1013
00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:17,680
Speaker 8: years it's going to be even worse. And they can't

1014
00:42:17,719 --> 00:42:18,479
Speaker 8: find the trades people.

1015
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:21,520
Speaker 5: They can't find the trades people to build the nuclear submarines.

1016
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 5: Of building in gront.

1017
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 8: Now you speak about that nuclear submarine thing and West

1018
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 8: die of schools, I went and visited them. They're building

1019
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 8: parts for the subs in Groton, Connecticut, for the for

1020
00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:37,160

1024
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:48,719

00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:49,720
Speaker 8: that they have for these kids.

1026
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,520
Speaker 6: Well, that's great, that's how the education should be, should.

1027
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:54,640
Speaker 3: Be practical is that like done through the STEM.

1028
00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 8: Program STEM and all that STEM is. STEM is big

1029
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:57,839
Speaker 8: right now?

1030
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:03,120
Speaker 7: Ye sas part of some of these Yeah, Posse's instituted

1031
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,120
Speaker 7: a great STEM program A bunch of years back.

1032
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:08,719
Speaker 8: My son went, throw, robotics is big too, these kids

1033
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:10,839
Speaker 8: with the robotics and the electronics and stuff. It's helping

1034
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:11,319
Speaker 8: out them all.

1035
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,880
Speaker 7: Well, I think, you know, for so long the trades

1036
00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:16,920
Speaker 7: were down played, and you know, the schools had this

1037
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,719
Speaker 7: thing that they wanted to put forward that you had

1038
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 7: to go to college. They wanted their stats of how

1039
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:23,800
Speaker 7: many kids went to what schools, how many gotten IVY League.

1040
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,640
Speaker 7: And the truth is not everybody belongs to going to college.

1041
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:28,839
Speaker 7: And there's way too many people with college degrees and

1042
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:32,080
Speaker 7: there's no jobs for them. There's no people need trades,

1043
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,640
Speaker 7: Like you cannot have a home without electric.

1044
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,080
Speaker 4: And plumbing and all of these things.

1045
00:43:36,360 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 7: And like to your point, nobody's there doing them anymore.

1046
00:43:39,040 --> 00:43:40,719
Speaker 7: I mean, how long do you wait to get a

1047
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 7: good trades person to come in and they can charge

1048
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:46,360
Speaker 7: you anything now, because supplying demands supply and demand flying demand.

1049
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:48,279
Speaker 7: I told my boys, I'm like, don't waste your time

1050
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 7: on college. I want to make am like, go do

1051
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,160
Speaker 7: a trade, start a business, and.

1052
00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: On top of it, it's just put people into so

1053
00:43:55,960 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 2: much debt. But because we've been pushed, that's how the

1054
00:43:58,719 --> 00:44:01,360
Speaker 2: society has been pushed. Go to college, go to college,

1055
00:44:01,680 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 2: and then you amass this incredible debt.

1056
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 1: So I don't know how it's ever going to get

1057
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: paid off. Honestly, I don't know how.

1058
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 8: Again passed down. So my father had nine brothers, nine

1059
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,160
Speaker 8: brothers and one sister. So the three of them were

1060
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,920
Speaker 8: brick layers, four of them were labors, two owned delis,

1061
00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 8: you know, and one was on the mechanic.

1062
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:20,719
Speaker 3: Did you hear that?

1063
00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 7: Mom?

1064
00:44:20,960 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 3: My mom's one girl with six brothers. She thought that

1065
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:28,440
Speaker 3: was bad. With nine brothers, ten girl, six brothers and

1066
00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:32,359
Speaker 3: one girl. See mom, there's probably watching from the road,

1067
00:44:33,719 --> 00:44:35,120
Speaker 3: So we don't have much time left, and we have

00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:42,400
Speaker 3: had to go to a meeting last minute. That was

1097
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 3: very important, but control him. If you could just bring

1098
00:45:44,840 --> 00:45:47,840
Speaker 3: up Bob's video, we just want to give him a

1099
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 3: little plug and wish him well on his UH election

1100
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 3: in two weeks. So Bob Kerns, Nope, not that one.

1101
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 3: It's the last video that Bill had earlier. It came

1102
00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:05,799
Speaker 3: to me late to there. I think that's ready for it. Nope,

1103
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 3: not a good connection.

1104
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:12,239
Speaker 8: No. So my guy's name was Andy Whitman. I drew,

1105
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:14,160
Speaker 8: you know I was talking about. But Andy, Andy Whitman

1106
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,839
Speaker 8: has been helped me the whole way, this whole time.

1107
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:16,800
Speaker 8: So he's do a great.

1108
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,600
Speaker 3: Job, good good friend of the warehouse and we love him.

1109
00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 3: And the minute he told us he had candidates, it

1110
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 3: was a no brainer. But you're even better than he described.

1111
00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:24,560
Speaker 3: I said, they're great. They're great. We love you even

1112
00:46:24,560 --> 00:46:24,960
Speaker 3: more than that.

1113
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: All right, we have a minute left, So do you

1114
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:27,840
Speaker 1: have an idea?

1115
00:46:28,360 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 3: I will get to that. So I wanted to if

1116
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:33,200
Speaker 3: we could bring up the Tommy caravan flyer please. I

1117
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 3: was starting to say that before we found out the

1118
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 3: other day that there's a young man in North Babylon.

1119
00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:42,439
Speaker 3: His name is Tommy. He's nineteen years old. He has

1120
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,279
Speaker 3: Down syndrome, and he's not doing well. He doesn't have

1121
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 3: much time left, and he loves cars and trucks. So

1122
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,600
Speaker 3: he we somehow got to the Belmore Patriots we're going

1123
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 3: to bring a caravan to him. Then we found out

1124
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,680
Speaker 3: he loves Donald Trump. I said, can you ask his

1125
00:46:56,719 --> 00:46:58,160
Speaker 3: mom if he likes Trump? Because a lot of our

1126
00:46:58,160 --> 00:47:00,319
Speaker 3: cars are very Trump like. I don't want to offend them. Well,

1127
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 3: this young man, he's nonverbal now. At this point, when

1128
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:04,719
Speaker 3: he could still speak a few months ago, he used

1129
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:08,439
Speaker 3: to tell his family and friends that Donald Trump is coming,

1130
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 3: is back and he's getting his country back, which makes

1131
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 3: me want to come. And that he used to go

1132
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,759
Speaker 3: on his bus and show his bus driver and the

1133
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,360
Speaker 3: students pictures of Donald Trump. So that just made me

1134
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 3: fall in love with him even more. We are going

1135
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 3: to do a special if any of you a car enthusiast, trucks, motorcycles, cars,

00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,440
Speaker 3: And there's very few people I'd get heavy into a

1193
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 3: campaign for Greg's one of them. But I even seeing

1194
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,200
Speaker 3: Rob on the commercials like.

1195
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:07,399
Speaker 9: Oh.

00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,399
Speaker 3: Up there nodding with me, right, I.

1199
00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:19,759
Speaker 8: Know he is.

1200
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:23,640
Speaker 2: So we're going to talk about issues that are important

1201
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:26,239
Speaker 2: to you. So we'll start with crime and safety. So

1202
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:28,600
Speaker 2: tell us about what your thoughts are, what your feelings

1203
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 2: are about it, what your plan would be if you

1204
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 2: were you know, when you win, not if you win,

1205
00:50:33,760 --> 00:50:35,520
Speaker 2: but when you win, and.

1206
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 1: Make sure that you're going to win. And uh, let's go,

1207
00:50:38,719 --> 00:50:39,560
Speaker 1: let's just talk.

1208
00:50:39,440 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 3: About its county greed again.

1209
00:50:41,200 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 5: Yeah, crime and safety. I mean we really need to uh,

1210
00:50:44,920 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 5: we really need to bring back broken windows policing. I

1211
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:52,359
Speaker 5: think we need to do exactly what what Rudy Giuliani. Yes, yeah,

1212
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 5: you know love that worry about the little things. When

1213
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,240
Speaker 5: you let let the little things go, then the big.

1214
00:50:57,080 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 6: Things starts, right.

1215
00:50:57,920 --> 00:50:59,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, the prerequisent you to.

1216
00:50:59,160 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 6: Back our police.

1217
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 8: We need to.

1218
00:51:00,840 --> 00:51:02,399
Speaker 5: We need to give them the tools that they need

1219
00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,440
Speaker 5: to do their job instead of defunding them, not supporting them,

1220
00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:07,120
Speaker 5: and be funding them exactly.

1221
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:07,840
Speaker 6: We need to.

1222
00:51:07,920 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 5: We need to give greater resources to the district attorneys

1223
00:51:10,719 --> 00:51:13,200
Speaker 5: who actually prosecute the crimes that our police go out

1224
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,880
Speaker 5: there and risk their lives to bring in. And instead

1225
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,240
Speaker 5: of just having this revolving door of cashless.

1226
00:51:17,800 --> 00:51:21,160
Speaker 7: Bail, yeah, catch the release, catch and release absolutely ridiculous.

1227
00:51:21,280 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 7: I think between the catch and release and the bail reform,

1228
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:27,720
Speaker 7: and then also this idea that you know, police should

1229
00:51:27,760 --> 00:51:32,960
Speaker 7: be able to be held personally civilly responsible if something

1230
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 7: goes wrong on the job. I get that there are

1231
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:37,799
Speaker 7: some egregious police officers out there, but it's not the

1232
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,440
Speaker 7: majority as a whole, and I think it shackles them

1233
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:43,279
Speaker 7: because they don't feel confident absolutely the job that they

1234
00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 7: need to do. So not only is there no real

1235
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 7: reward because they do the job, and even when they

1236
00:51:47,719 --> 00:51:49,719
Speaker 7: do it well, those people land right back out on

1237
00:51:49,800 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 7: the street. But to do the job well sometimes requires

1238
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 7: force or difficult things that can come into question, and

1239
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,719
Speaker 7: who wants to risk their their livelihood their home, their life,

1240
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 7: their reputation, or maybe even their freedom.

1241
00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,479
Speaker 5: Well, I think taking away that immunity is exactly what

1242
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:06,640
Speaker 5: what handcuffs, like you said, we need. We need to

1243
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:08,680
Speaker 5: back our police, not handcuff to handcuff them and make

1244
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:09,720
Speaker 5: their jobs and more difficult.

1245
00:52:09,840 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 4: Let's go.

1246
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 3: I mean, the one very good thing I could say is,

1247
00:52:12,920 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 3: you know, thank god Nasa County is one of the

1248
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:19,239
Speaker 3: safest counties in the country. It really is, and that

1249
00:52:19,440 --> 00:52:21,080
Speaker 3: is a great thing to come into. I mean, of

1250
00:52:21,080 --> 00:52:22,759
Speaker 3: course there's always room to make it better, but that's

1251
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:25,680
Speaker 3: one thing I'm very happy to For the amount of

1252
00:52:25,680 --> 00:52:27,040
Speaker 3: money we spend to live there, do.

1253
00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 7: Spend a lot of money, which brings us to taxes.

1254
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,680
Speaker 4: Let's talk about Long Island property taxes.

1255
00:52:33,160 --> 00:52:34,759
Speaker 6: Don't get me started, because.

1256
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,520
Speaker 4: That's not hard. Just on like a homeowner living in

1257
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:37,799
Speaker 4: their home.

1258
00:52:37,840 --> 00:52:40,480
Speaker 7: It's it causes rent to go up every It increases

1259
00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,600
Speaker 7: the cost of living for everybody, no matter if you're

1260
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:46,000
Speaker 7: in ownership or not. So what are some strategies there, Well.

1261
00:52:45,800 --> 00:52:48,440
Speaker 5: In general, that's that's actually one of the reasons I'm running.

1262
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,239
Speaker 5: I'm running because you know, I was told when I

1263
00:52:52,280 --> 00:52:54,560
Speaker 5: was a kid by my dad and my mom that

1264
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:55,479
Speaker 5: you can work hard.

1265
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,440
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter if you're rich or.

1266
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,200
Speaker 5: Poor, whatever, If you if you work hard, if you

1267
00:53:00,320 --> 00:53:02,200
Speaker 5: do the right thing, if you pay your taxes, you

1268
00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 5: go to work every day, you deal with the monotony

1269
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,680
Speaker 5: of day to day, and you try to make your

1270
00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:08,560
Speaker 5: world and your country and your community a better place

1271
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:13,080
Speaker 5: to live, you will succeed. And thankfully that was that

1272
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 5: was right for me. It actually worked out for me.

1273
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:18,880
Speaker 5: But I'm very far for my kids, and your kids

1274
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,319
Speaker 5: eat their kids, and that's why I'm doing this.

1275
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:22,880
Speaker 6: I'm not doing this for me. I'm fine.

1276
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:27,799
Speaker 7: My daughter left the States as a for what was

1277
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 7: she in four years she got tenure as a school

1278
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,960
Speaker 7: teacher on Long Island. She left because she didn't see

1279
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:36,680
Speaker 7: a future that was right here, and very few people stay.

1280
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 7: So then you're also searching for community, people doing life,

1281
00:53:41,120 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 7: your age, having kids, working.

1282
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:43,839
Speaker 4: It's really rough here.

1283
00:53:43,960 --> 00:53:45,359
Speaker 6: It's very rough. It's very rough.

1284
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:47,839
Speaker 5: Property taxes and what do you get for it. I mean,

1285
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:49,080
Speaker 5: it's just insane.

1286
00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 3: I'm looking at houses myself right now in our districts,

1287
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:54,920
Speaker 3: specifically in my town. It's stick next to impossible to

1288
00:53:55,080 --> 00:53:57,840
Speaker 3: you know, to a afford something or even find something.

1289
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:00,759
Speaker 6: It's just hard to come back.

1290
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:03,120
Speaker 5: I mean, I I lived abroad for a while, I

1291
00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,840
Speaker 5: lived in Manhattan for a number of years, and I

1292
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 5: came back here to raise my family. I don't think

1293
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:11,040
Speaker 5: that's a possibility for a lot of the children of

1294
00:54:11,640 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 5: our friends and my friends and my children and their children.

1295
00:54:15,160 --> 00:54:16,160
Speaker 6: And that's what scares me.

1296
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: And it is such a beautiful, so beautiful.

1297
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,320
Speaker 4: It's a nice place to it's beautiful.

1298
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:23,520
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's funny.

1299
00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 10: You know.

1300
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 5: When everything started going haywire under the Biden administration, my

1301
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 5: wife said, you know what, it's getting crazy. We should move.

1302
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,040
Speaker 5: We should go down to North Carolina. And we talked

1303
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,000
Speaker 5: about that, and I said, I thought to myself, now,

1304
00:54:36,040 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 5: we're not running away.

1305
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 6: This is our home.

1306
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 8: You know.

1307
00:54:41,160 --> 00:54:41,920
Speaker 3: A name too.

1308
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 5: By the way, someone breaks into your home, you don't

1309
00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:46,200
Speaker 5: go scurrying out the back door, and you stay and

1310
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 5: fight and see. That's right, that's what's worth. That's that's

1311
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:49,520
Speaker 5: the most important thing.

1312
00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 9: Is well.

1313
00:54:49,880 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 3: That's one of the reasons why when people say, I'm

1314
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:53,239
Speaker 3: surprised you're still in New York. I don't want to

1315
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 3: get run out of New York, like I'm not ready

1316
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 3: to go yet. I feel like some of us have

1317
00:54:57,040 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 3: to stay back and fight and until God tells me otherwise,

1318
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 3: I'm here to do. But it's not easy. But it's

1319
00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:04,800
Speaker 3: the greatest state in the world. In the world, I

1320
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 3: think New York is like the epicenter of like it

1321
00:55:07,480 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 3: has so many aeras. Yeah, and then Long Island and

1322
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 3: Nasuau County, I mean the whole island. Obviously we're in

1323
00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:16,400
Speaker 3: Suffolk now, but our county is a great county, you know,

1324
00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:18,080
Speaker 3: and I want to keep it that way. Yeah, that's

1325
00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:18,759
Speaker 3: why we need you.

1326
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:21,640
Speaker 7: So can you talk to us about some of your

1327
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:25,200
Speaker 7: strategies more specifically, like how would you go about helping

1328
00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:29,480
Speaker 7: reduce cost of living, reduce property taxes in New York

1329
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:33,240
Speaker 7: and give some sort of relief to the working person.

1330
00:55:33,360 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think by and large, what we

1331
00:55:35,160 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 5: need to do is we need to stop spending money

1332
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 5: that we don't have. We need to really be more effective,

1333
00:55:40,040 --> 00:55:43,400
Speaker 5: and we need to we need to be more fiscal here.

1334
00:55:43,360 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 6: With the money that we're spending.

1335
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:47,040
Speaker 5: I mean, I think we're mortgaging our children's future and

1336
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 5: our grandchildren's future for comfort today for us, that's not right,

1337
00:55:51,360 --> 00:55:54,319
Speaker 5: that's not right. Do you know the household the household

1338
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 5: debt for our national debt for each household is two

1339
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,760
Speaker 5: hundred and fifty seven thousand dollars.

1340
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: Believe it, I love it.

1341
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,080
Speaker 4: Does that include mortgage debt?

1342
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,000
Speaker 5: No, that that's that's our portion of the debt, our

1343
00:56:08,040 --> 00:56:10,080
Speaker 5: portion of the national debt, the thirty.

1344
00:56:09,840 --> 00:56:13,480
Speaker 6: Seven trillion dollars. Your lord, isn't that crazy.

1345
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:14,960
Speaker 1: It's insane. It's insanity.

1346
00:56:15,400 --> 00:56:19,319
Speaker 5: And that's supposed to go that that that encompasses, is it.

1347
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 5: I don't want to give a wrong a wrong percentage,

1348
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:25,080
Speaker 5: so I won't say it. But but that number is

1349
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:28,120
Speaker 5: supposed to go up quite significantly, and then by twenty

1350
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,800
Speaker 5: fifty three, that's supposed to go up seventy nine percent.

1351
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:31,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god.

1352
00:56:31,560 --> 00:56:33,479
Speaker 7: I hate to say this, but the Big Beautiful Bill

1353
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:34,279
Speaker 7: did not help that.

1354
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,120
Speaker 6: It didn't not that, not that, not that.

1355
00:56:37,440 --> 00:56:39,960
Speaker 5: But you know what we're we're we're changing around, we're

1356
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,319
Speaker 5: changing well, actually, you know what, I would back up

1357
00:56:43,320 --> 00:56:43,600
Speaker 5: on that.

1358
00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:45,680
Speaker 6: I would argue with you on that. Yeah, but I'm

1359
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:46,400
Speaker 6: not gonna argue.

1360
00:56:47,760 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 8: That.

1361
00:56:48,480 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 7: I would tell me tell us well, because that's been

1362
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,799
Speaker 7: a big argument out there, and a lot of the

1363
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:54,600
Speaker 7: things that I've looked at. I'm no expert and I

1364
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 7: haven't dug in and read every little thing, but I

1365
00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:00,680
Speaker 7: think I've definitely felt it felt fell very short.

1366
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 8: Well.

1367
00:57:01,400 --> 00:57:05,240
Speaker 5: The reduction in certain taxes, reduction certain corporate taxes, reduction

1368
00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:08,800
Speaker 5: in taking care of working people. They no tax on tips,

1369
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 5: no taps on overtime. I mean that really helps. That

1370
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,399
Speaker 5: helps someone who's who's really trying to make ends meet.

1371
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 5: I mean, I know some single mothers that I was

1372
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 5: talking talking to that that that are that are waitresses,

1373
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:21,840
Speaker 5: they're there, they get tax on their tips, not anymore.

1374
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:23,200
Speaker 6: That's going to help quite quite.

1375
00:57:23,200 --> 00:57:25,560
Speaker 5: Quite a lot, especially when the cost of childcare and

1376
00:57:25,560 --> 00:57:27,360
Speaker 5: and what it costs to raise a kid in this

1377
00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 5: in this in this district especially, it's it's absolutely insane.

1378
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:33,160
Speaker 5: But I think we just need to be very cautious

1379
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 5: about how we spend our money. And I think President

1380
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:40,040
Speaker 5: Trump is doing a fantastic job. He's reducing he's reducing regulations,

1381
00:57:40,240 --> 00:57:43,680
Speaker 5: he's reducing taxes. He's gonna hopefully extend.

1382
00:57:43,400 --> 00:57:45,160
Speaker 6: Those tax cuts.

1383
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 5: And what that does is that creates greater economic uh

1384
00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 5: and economic environment for entrepreneurs, the people who actually create jobs.

1385
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 5: You know, I'm I'm from a union family. I believe

1386
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 5: in the American worker and doing everything that we can

1387
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,040
Speaker 5: because they're the people who bring us to p usarities. However,

1388
00:58:01,080 --> 00:58:03,760
Speaker 5: it also takes the entrepreneurs and the people who are

1389
00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 5: building businesses because we don't have jobs without that, so

1390
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 5: we need So I'm a very pro business but also

1391
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:11,920
Speaker 5: very pro worker, pro union candidate.

1392
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:14,440
Speaker 2: That's awesome, and we have to continue to root out

1393
00:58:14,440 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 2: this waste, fraud and abuse. Absolutely, it's criminal.

1394
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:20,960
Speaker 1: It's so criminal how they've gotten.

1395
00:58:20,720 --> 00:58:24,960
Speaker 2: Away with what has taken place all these years and

1396
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:25,960
Speaker 2: it's just been hidden.

1397
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:27,240
Speaker 6: And that's another thing.

1398
00:58:27,280 --> 00:58:29,000
Speaker 5: You know, you have, you have, like I said, all

1399
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 5: these people out there, the people in this country who

1400
00:58:31,440 --> 00:58:33,760
Speaker 5: work their hard, who work hard every day, deal with

1401
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 5: them monotony, go through and worry about their bills, but

1402
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:37,720
Speaker 5: pay their tax.

1403
00:58:37,480 --> 00:58:38,480
Speaker 3: I know what you're talking about.

1404
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 4: Okay, seventy, But.

1405
00:58:43,120 --> 00:58:46,400
Speaker 5: The good people of this country, especially in my district,

1406
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 5: in our district are they don't have representation. They have

1407
00:58:50,200 --> 00:58:53,640
Speaker 5: the appearance of representation they have, and and when you

1408
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,440
Speaker 5: have like one of my issues is trading. Are members

1409
00:58:57,480 --> 00:59:00,760
Speaker 5: of Congress trading on non public information and and and

1410
00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,720
Speaker 5: increasing their wealth exponentially with one hundred and seventy nine

1411
00:59:04,760 --> 00:59:08,240
Speaker 5: thousand dollars year job becoming multimillionaires in just a couple

1412
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 5: of years, and.

1413
00:59:08,760 --> 00:59:09,560
Speaker 6: How do they do that.

1414
00:59:09,920 --> 00:59:11,960
Speaker 5: They do that because they're able to do something in

1415
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,000
Speaker 5: Congress that they're not allowed to do on Wall Street

1416
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:17,200
Speaker 5: but sold and that insensus me because what they did.

1417
00:59:17,440 --> 00:59:19,400
Speaker 5: You know, there's this there's something called the Stock Act

1418
00:59:19,400 --> 00:59:22,320
Speaker 5: which prevents you from doing doing these kind of things. However,

1419
00:59:22,680 --> 00:59:27,720
Speaker 5: what happens is the enforcement of the Stock Act violations

1420
00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:31,280
Speaker 5: is not done is not done by an outside entity.

1421
00:59:31,320 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 5: It's done by Congress itself, the fox in the front

1422
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 5: of right watching.

1423
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: It's like one of the basics of like accounting. You

1424
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:43,360
Speaker 1: don't have a person receding that puts you know, counts

1425
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 1: the money that goes to the bank. You know, you

1426
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: don't exactly.

1427
00:59:46,360 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 7: So I'm going to assume or guess that these are

1428
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:55,480
Speaker 7: not wildly popular beliefs within the establishment on either side,

1429
00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:58,760
Speaker 7: because we see the corruption throughout in the uniparty, right

1430
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,720
Speaker 7: So I'm just curious, like, how do you feel like

1431
01:00:01,760 --> 01:00:04,240
Speaker 7: you'll be able to stand that kind of ground and

1432
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 7: how are you going to make a difference when you

1433
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 7: get elected.

1434
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:08,280
Speaker 6: That's a good question.

1435
01:00:08,280 --> 01:00:08,760

01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:31,360
Speaker 2: to you and to you know.

1472
01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we left off on the wrong island.

1473
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:36,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, to all of us, anybody who's awaken away and

1474
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 7: been paying attention and aggravated and fed up. We were

1475
01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,360
Speaker 7: talking about You were specifically talking about the insider stock

1476
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:45,600
Speaker 7: trading that goes on in the Congress and with our

1477
01:01:45,640 --> 01:01:49,480
Speaker 7: elected representatives, and there are clearly other things. I'm sure

1478
01:01:49,480 --> 01:01:51,920
Speaker 7: everybody has a top list of things that they think

1479
01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 7: are the biggest, most egregious problems that we have. The

1480
01:01:55,080 --> 01:01:58,760
Speaker 7: question is how will you, as a member of Congress

1481
01:01:59,160 --> 01:02:01,480
Speaker 7: fight against that to represent the people truly?

1482
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question. The way that I intend

1483
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,520
Speaker 5: to fight for it is. You know, I'm incorruptible. I've

1484
01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,000
Speaker 5: there's no one who can get to me, who can

1485
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 5: pay me off, who can do anything like that. I've

1486
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,320
Speaker 5: been very successful in my life. I've built two of

1487
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:19,440
Speaker 5: the top law firms in New York. They're nationally recognized.

1488
01:02:20,240 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 5: And I did that by treating the people who work

1489
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:25,600
Speaker 5: for me very very well and doing right by them.

1490
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:29,200
Speaker 5: That's what I attribute my success to. But like I said,

1491
01:02:29,400 --> 01:02:34,680
Speaker 5: I'm incorruptible, and I have a responsibility, and I considered

1492
01:02:34,680 --> 01:02:37,320
Speaker 5: a very sacred responsibility to be the best possible candidate

1493
01:02:37,360 --> 01:02:39,320
Speaker 5: I could be. So I'm actually going around the clocks,

1494
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,760
Speaker 5: starting a week ago, doing everything from learning every issue,

1495
01:02:43,920 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 5: learning every issue, getting policy briefings, getting briefings on Congress.

1496
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:50,920
Speaker 3: He already went to Congress and took a class. Oh wow,

1497
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:54,200
Speaker 3: the same week announce Yeah that's great. I meant to

1498
01:02:54,240 --> 01:02:55,040
Speaker 3: DC to take a case.

1499
01:02:55,080 --> 01:02:57,640
Speaker 5: But I couldn't possibly ask people for their trust and

1500
01:02:57,680 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 5: support unless I was willing to do everything I could

1501
01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:01,200
Speaker 5: possibly do.

1502
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 6: I stepped away from my firms.

1503
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 5: I'm not I don't need to go and grab with

1504
01:03:04,720 --> 01:03:06,480
Speaker 5: both hands for the next twenty years and make as

1505
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:08,480
Speaker 5: much money as I can now. My family is fine.

1506
01:03:08,520 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 5: We're going to do fine. We're not We're pretty humble people,

1507
01:03:11,320 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 5: you know, we just you know, everything is fine, and

1508
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 5: I want to and this is how I want to, uh,

1509

01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:37,080

1539
01:04:37,160 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 8: high school and all that kind of stuff. And I

1540
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:41,560
Speaker 8: got out and I became a volunteer fireman. You know,

1541
01:04:41,640 --> 01:04:43,400

Speaker 8: lives and you do things what the right things are,

1548

1549
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 8: get good results. It's not about winning. It's what you

1550
01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 8: could teach them in life. Most of my kids now

1551
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:07,480

1555
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:17,400
Speaker 8: bricklayer also, you know, and you know what family and

1556
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:20,120
Speaker 8: values mean a lot to me, and bringing that family

1557
01:05:20,200 --> 01:05:23,080
Speaker 8: value to the legislator to make them work together to

1558
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 8: get things done the right way. I just left, you know,

1559
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 8: we had a little bit of debate on what was

1560
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 8: going on and if we bring the families to the table,

1561
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 8: representation will be right, you know, and a lot of

1562
01:05:34,240 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 8: stuff that we're.

1563
01:05:34,800 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 7: Doing, it's been lacking for so long, and it feels like,

1564
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 7: I mean, this is one of the things that we

1565
01:05:40,800 --> 01:05:45,360
Speaker 7: were in my questions, in our questions. You know, we've

1566
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:47,800
Speaker 7: been paying attention for a long time, all the ladies

1567
01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,120
Speaker 7: on this stage, as many of our watchers and viewers,

1568
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,720
Speaker 7: and we see how corrupted both sides have been, even

1569
01:05:53,720 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 7: the conservative side the Republican side, and it's problematic and

1570
01:05:57,240 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 7: we cannot allow it any longer. And so you know,

1571
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 7: my question to you is, after coming out of a

1572
01:06:03,640 --> 01:06:06,680
Speaker 7: meeting and having hearty debate with constituents, you know, are

1573
01:06:06,720 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 7: you seeing a change a shift for people to actually

1574
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 7: walk in in integrity and serve the public well or

1575
01:06:13,920 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 7: do you think do you feel like it's so entrenched

1576
01:06:17,160 --> 01:06:19,320
Speaker 7: it's going to be a very very big, uphill battle,

1577
01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:22,040
Speaker 7: even at the local level, because it happens right here

1578
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:23,800
Speaker 7: in our own neighborhoods, Judy.

1579
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,160
Speaker 8: Since since I got on a campaign trail, I've got

1580
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:28,880
Speaker 8: involved with, you know, the Republicans or Conservatives who backed me,

1581
01:06:28,920 --> 01:06:30,560
Speaker 8: of course, you know, and the Democrats that I know.

1582
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:32,520
Speaker 8: You know, you know, we all know each we only

1583
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,320
Speaker 8: know each other, you know, and they know my ground

1584
01:06:35,320 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 8: base is basic. But I've seen our Suffolk County has

1585
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,720
Speaker 8: kind of really starting to come together to fight the

1586
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,520
Speaker 8: right reasons, fight for everything for the right reasons. I think,

1587
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:49,840
Speaker 8: you know, law enforcements important, you know, everybody law enforcement protection.

1588
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:52,840
Speaker 8: Right now, they're going after you know, the prostitution and

1589
01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,280
Speaker 8: all this stuff, the women, you know, all the right

1590
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 8: stuff that we've got to get people going in the

1591
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:01,360
Speaker 8: right direction. You know, kids programs, you know, mental health

1592
01:07:01,360 --> 01:07:04,080
Speaker 8: issues and stuff like that. There's all kinds of stuff

1593
01:07:04,080 --> 01:07:06,680
Speaker 8: that we're starting to tackle. So I'm kind of impressed,

1594
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 8: and I'm hoping that I can help push the way.

1595
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,600
Speaker 8: You know, I'm just like I said, I'm a basic guy.

1596
01:07:11,840 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 8: I don't come in on this level. I come in

1597
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 8: on ground level. My boots are on the ground that

1598
01:07:15,200 --> 01:07:16,760
Speaker 8: I'm going to run, and that speaks.

1599
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,200
Speaker 1: That speaks to who the community is, you know, it does.

1600
01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 3: I think it also with both of our candidates here tonight.

1601
01:07:23,760 --> 01:07:26,160
Speaker 3: I think maybe you guys can correct me if I'm wrong.

1602
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 3: Coming from a military background and thank you for your service, Yes,

1603
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 3: thank you, ess. I always want to thank you guys.

1604
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,000
Speaker 3: I want to believe that you've already fought for the

1605
01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,400
Speaker 3: country and you've seen how downhill it's gone. Now it's like,

1606
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 3: this is your time to rise up again and defend

1607
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,720
Speaker 3: us again on a different level, because that's the training

1608
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,360
Speaker 3: that you guys had and probably the heart that brought

1609
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,480
Speaker 3: you into the first place. And I love when the

1610
01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:49,920
Speaker 3: veterans step up to do this. That's why I was

1611
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:53,680
Speaker 3: part of a veteran's you know campaign, because there's a

1612
01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 3: different grit. You guys have a different love for the country,

1613
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 3: and I think I put a lot of trust in

1614
01:07:58,160 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 3: that in your fight.

1615
01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:03,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's funny. Well, I served in the

1616
01:08:03,240 --> 01:08:05,600
Speaker 5: Cold War, in the final years the Cold War, fighting

1617
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:08,080
Speaker 5: the communists. Right now, to think we're doing in our

1618
01:08:08,080 --> 01:08:08,760
Speaker 5: own backyard.

1619
01:08:08,920 --> 01:08:12,880
Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, yeah, that really galvanizes myrosolva.

1620
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:16,320
Speaker 2: I mean, we're looking at a communist mayor.

1621
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:18,880
Speaker 1: In New York City. You know, it's it's demonic right

1622
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:19,559
Speaker 1: around the corner.

1623
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 9: You know.

1624
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,240
Speaker 7: Well, the thing is, it's it's now, that's just in

1625
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 7: your face. The truth is communism has invaded every institution,

1626
01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:30,959
Speaker 7: our politics, our education system, our healthcare system, our business,

1627
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:36,600
Speaker 7: our legal system. It's literally invaded everything Marxist communist ideologies.

1628
01:08:37,360 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 7: So that's that's a massive thing to have to fight

1629
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:47,320
Speaker 7: against when it's been decades of slow, slowly subversing our

1630
01:08:47,360 --> 01:08:48,960
Speaker 7: democracy or republics.

1631
01:08:48,960 --> 01:08:49,439
Speaker 3: How they do it?

1632
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeaheople didn't even know what was happening.

1633
01:08:51,479 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 5: And that's the thing we're not. We're not just fighting

1634
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:56,559
Speaker 5: We're not just fighting the communists. We're not just fighting China.

1635
01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 5: We're not just fighting Russia. We're not fighting all the

1636
01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,280
Speaker 5: different ages wars everywhere. I mean, we're fighting it on

1637
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:04,719
Speaker 5: our own backyard. I mean in our country right now.

1638
01:09:04,960 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 5: I mean, to think about it scared me the last

1639
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,240
Speaker 5: couple of years under the Biden administration to see what's

1640
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,639
Speaker 5: happened in our in our education system, to see what's

1641
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:17,679
Speaker 5: happened in our higher education systems, even to these ridiculous protests,

1642
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 5: these George Soros funded protests. I mean, that's just a

1643
01:09:20,960 --> 01:09:23,719
Speaker 5: threat to national security beyond belief. I mean, that's almost

1644
01:09:23,720 --> 01:09:28,000
Speaker 5: as bad as China. China, China, China steals. We're at

1645
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 5: war with China, I mean, make no bones abat the're

1646
01:09:30,680 --> 01:09:31,719
Speaker 5: economic war with China.

1647
01:09:31,840 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 6: China. China.

1648
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 5: China as an authoritarian government, they wage economic war on

1649
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 5: us by identifying let's say the EV's in the United States,

1650
01:09:41,479 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 5: the EV industry, and what they'll do is they'll subsidize

1651
01:09:44,400 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 5: a one hundred thousand dollars car and charge ten thousand

1652
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 5: dollars for it and flood our market with it, so

1653
01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 5: it completely eviscerates our industrial base. And when it eviscerates

1654
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,320
Speaker 5: our industrial base, we can't fight a war when the

1655
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:56,479
Speaker 5: time to fight a war becomes, because then we can't

1656
01:09:56,920 --> 01:10:01,799
Speaker 5: we can't repurpose our manufacturing and industry base to wartime needs.

1657
01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:03,840
Speaker 5: And that's why they do it, and that's what we

1658
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 5: have to be aware of. I mean, that's why we

1659
01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 5: have to really fight it in our country, and we

1660
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:08,120
Speaker 5: have to fight it hard.

1661
01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 8: I believe our country is ready for anything. I really

1662
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:13,040
Speaker 8: I was, you know, I was a gunners missiles and uh,

1663
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 8: you know when I worked, I was in baggered Lebanon

1664
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:17,640
Speaker 8: when I blew to the embassy up and uh, you know,

1665
01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 8: we're ready, We're ready for anything. It's just that hands

1666
01:10:22,080 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 8: can't be tied. You got to do what you have

1667
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,479
Speaker 8: to do, and uh, you know, we have to make

1668
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 8: tough decisions. And uh it's tough.

1669
01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 5: Well, when you have when you have, when you have

1670
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:32,519
Speaker 5: the most powerful military and the most powerful economy in

1671
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,280
Speaker 5: the world wielded by a weak man like under Biden,

1672
01:10:36,040 --> 01:10:38,040
Speaker 5: you don't have the most powerful military and you don't

1673
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:40,080
Speaker 5: have the most powerful economy either, But when you have

1674
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,280
Speaker 5: it wielded by a Donald Trump, you do.

1675
01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 6: And that's what we're seeing.

1676
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 10: And we're seeing what he did, what he did with

1677
01:10:45,520 --> 01:10:48,320
Speaker 10: Australia today yesterday or whatever he did, and with the

1678
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:49,639
Speaker 10: minerals and all that stuff.

1679
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:50,519
Speaker 8: That's a big move.

1680
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 6: It's a big move.

1681
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:52,479
Speaker 8: That's a big move right there.

1682
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 6: And that's the thing. We need people to make big

1683
01:10:54,680 --> 01:10:57,880
Speaker 6: We need him to make big moves. And he's making no.

1684
01:10:58,200 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 3: Just so many things to come.

1685
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,559
Speaker 1: It's only it's not even its nine months.

1686
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:07,599
Speaker 2: Yeahs doing miracles he's done amazing, amazing.

1687
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:10,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, we need to replenish the petroleum reserve, I mean

1688
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:13,799
Speaker 5: the emergency petroleum reserve. We need to open up for drilling.

1689
01:11:13,840 --> 01:11:16,920
Speaker 5: We need to drill baby drills. Right, we were energy

1690
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:19,840
Speaker 5: independent and unfortunately, you know what we what Biden has

1691
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 5: done and by taking away those licenses to drill and

1692
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 5: forgiving it from.

1693
01:11:26,240 --> 01:11:27,000
Speaker 6: But if he's taken.

1694
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:28,439
Speaker 5: Away the licenses to drill, then we're going to be

1695
01:11:28,439 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 5: looking to our enemies to serve our needs for our fuel,

1696
01:11:31,320 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 5: for our military. We're going to be a war in

1697
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 5: the next couple of years. It just makes no sense whatsoever.

1698
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:38,000
Speaker 5: That's why I'm I shuddered to think what would have

1699
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 5: happened if Kamala Harris want me.

1700
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:40,200
Speaker 4: It's important.

1701
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:41,920
Speaker 3: It's important to connect boys.

1702
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's important to connect all the dots to whether it's.

1703
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,519
Speaker 4: At the national, you know, national level, on the.

1704
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:49,720
Speaker 7: Local level, you know, all of the all of the

1705
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,720
Speaker 7: all of the policies, like you know, you look at

1706
01:11:52,760 --> 01:11:57,600
Speaker 7: de I, you look at the green space and sustainability

1707
01:11:57,800 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 7: and the environment and global warming, and you see how

1708
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 7: all these things tee up and the trickle down of

1709
01:12:05,560 --> 01:12:07,760
Speaker 7: what they package up like a nice little bow. It

1710
01:12:07,800 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 7: sounds like this is this is good. We should want

1711
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 7: to take care of our earth. We should want to

1712
01:12:11,040 --> 01:12:13,679
Speaker 7: include everybody and everybody be fair. But it's a slow,

1713
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 7: insidious burn. And like just with the cars and the

1714
01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:19,800
Speaker 7: fuel they start. Man, you know your carbon footprint and

1715
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:21,240
Speaker 7: your net what is it?

1716
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:22,000
Speaker 4: Net zero?

1717
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:25,320
Speaker 7: You know, these things are a push towards stuff that

1718
01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,160
Speaker 7: is weakening our society overall.

1719
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 4: You cannot connect those stuffs.

1720
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 8: Mandates, unfunded mandates and mandates that you have to use

1721
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 8: the electric buses. Look what I'm on a school board

1722
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,880
Speaker 8: and I'm telling you, you know, eighteen years on a

1723
01:12:38,880 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 8: school board, these unfunded mandates that are being delivered down

1724
01:12:41,800 --> 01:12:43,840
Speaker 8: to the schools, and what we have to deal with

1725
01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:46,000
Speaker 8: that We have to go to the tax pays ask

1726
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:48,000
Speaker 8: them to pay for stuff that we don't really need.

1727
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,120
Speaker 8: But we got to do it so we can get

1728
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:53,000
Speaker 8: federal funding. It's just it's just a different ball game.

1729
01:12:53,040 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 8: I mean, to have electric buses, I got it. We

1730
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:58,120
Speaker 8: need electric But have you ever a floid on electric fire? Right?

1731
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,200

01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:06,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, well that's something you can fight out at

1734
01:13:06,320 --> 01:13:07,000
Speaker 7: the local level.

1735
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:08,920
Speaker 8: Local control, local control.

1736
01:13:08,720 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 4: Not regionalization, and that's where it has to start.

Speaker 3: It is absolutely want in really quick. If these things

1757
01:13:56,640 --> 01:13:59,559
Speaker 3: matter to me, think about it. You've been working hard

1758
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,760
Speaker 3: your whole life life. Board of ed trustee cares about

1759
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 3: the children, but running too a burning building for you

1760
01:14:04,720 --> 01:14:08,080
Speaker 3: and as a fireman served our country. These are the

1761
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:10,880
Speaker 3: things that are so important to a constituent.

1762
01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:11,040

Speaker 1: Know that that's one hundred percent correct.

1766
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:22,479
Speaker 7: I think America is largely over the smooth talkers. They

1767
01:14:22,520 --> 01:14:24,479
Speaker 7: want we were just talking about this. People want to

1768
01:14:24,760 --> 01:14:27,840
Speaker 7: want authentic human beings to be public servants. That's what

1769
01:14:27,880 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 7: our country was founded on. It was founded on the

1770
01:14:29,960 --> 01:14:33,719
Speaker 7: principle of serving. People lost everything. They lost their fortune,

1771
01:14:33,720 --> 01:14:35,600
Speaker 7: they lost their lives, they lost their reputation.

1772
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:36,439
Speaker 4: You know.

1773
01:14:36,680 --> 01:14:38,880
Speaker 3: So, and these guys are walking away from their careers.

01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 3: You know, Greg just said that. I just asked guy

1775

1778
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:50,760
Speaker 8: called a part time job, but it's a full time

1779

Speaker 3: For's not enough work and all that.

1795
01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,360
Speaker 8: You go through all these things and you know, unemployment

1796
01:15:30,360 --> 01:15:32,600
Speaker 8: doesn't make it in your family. How are you going

Speaker 8: uh longevity, you know, maybe tax tax freezing and all

1802
01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 8: that kind of stuff. You on your own your tax

1803
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 8: house for like fifty years, you freeze your taxes. They

1804
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,639
Speaker 8: can't be increased. But let's hold on that, hold the line,

1805
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:53,640
Speaker 8: you know, but you have to own house once you

1806
01:15:53,720 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 8: once you get rid of the house, you have to fifth.

1807
01:15:55,280 --> 01:15:57,880

Speaker 8: we take care of them.

1811
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:03,760
Speaker 1: That's right, that's sure.

1812
01:16:03,800 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 3: Some of them don't even afford groceries. It's very sad.

1813
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:06,200
Speaker 8: It's bad.

1814
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 3: It's bad.

1815
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:07,639
Speaker 1: It's bad.

1816
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:11,000
Speaker 7: It's the young and the old, right, Yes, we were

1817
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 7: saying before, like the young can't afford to stay here

1818
01:16:13,240 --> 01:16:13,920
Speaker 7: and make a life.

1819
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:15,640
Speaker 4: The middle class our age is.

1820
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:19,240
Speaker 7: Struggling, and you know, and the elderly are struggling. So

1821
01:16:19,280 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 7: there's a very few, very small percentage of people that

1822
01:16:22,360 --> 01:16:24,920
Speaker 7: aren't struggling and having to grind really hard to go

1823
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 7: into college.

1824
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:27,800
Speaker 8: Going to college. These kids are going out of college,

1825
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 8: they're coming out with a mortgage payment.

1826
01:16:29,200 --> 01:16:31,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, how do how.

1827
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 8: Do we allow that to happen? You know, with this

1828
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,320
Speaker 8: in this day and age. Okay, let's let the kids

1829
01:16:35,320 --> 01:16:37,400
Speaker 8: go to college to help them, but it should be

1830
01:16:37,439 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 8: a one percent payback once you have your full degree,

1831
01:16:40,439 --> 01:16:42,559
Speaker 8: show the federal government that you have it or whatever.

1832
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,760
Speaker 8: It's a one percent pay back. It isn't a you know,

1833
01:16:44,840 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 8: there shouldn't be seven to eight percent on these things.

1834
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 8: And it's crazy. They got mortgage payments, so.

1835
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 3: How did this so they can't afford it? Fifty thousand dollars. Yes,

1836

1841
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,840
Speaker 3: I can't look on myself. But they can't afford it.

1842
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:10,799
Speaker 1: They can't afford it. It's sad, you know, they want.

1843

Speaker 8: To be seeing. You're seeing. You're seeing housing. Now, what's

Speaker 8: They're having more and more you know, mother daughters and

1846
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:20,639
Speaker 8: all that kind of basements.

1847

01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:23,080
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's terrible.

1849
01:17:23,360 --> 01:17:26,559
Speaker 7: Well, corporations are buying up homes. Yes, so it also

1850
01:17:26,720 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 7: artificially land grabs and it artificially drives the cost of

1851
01:17:30,280 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 7: housing supplying demand. And there's not affordable housing on Long Island.

1852
01:17:34,600 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 4: So you know, you're.

01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 8: guys are getting and you know what these contracts that

1856
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,479

01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,240
Speaker 8: big houses, they're big to all these big apartments, and

1858
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,640
Speaker 8: then all of a sudden, they're all done. They're occupied.

1859
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 8: They're supposed to hold that for ten years. You know

1860
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:55,280
Speaker 8: what they're doing. They're selling it, and that idea is

1861
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:58,280
Speaker 8: staying with that thing. It shouldn't stay. If he sold

1862
01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:01,120
Speaker 8: it for a profit, he should pay back what he took.

1863
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 8: He should be he should be invested in that community

1864
01:18:04,080 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 8: unity and then he can sell it.

1865
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:10,160
Speaker 7: Why are they getting why are they getting away with it? Oh, well,

1866
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:11,360
Speaker 7: they pay to get away with it.

1867
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:12,639
Speaker 8: You talked about it before.

1868
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:16,519
Speaker 7: They pay to get away with it. Yeah, that's this

1869
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 7: is the garbage that has to stop. The representation needs change,

1870
01:18:20,520 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 7: and we have the start of that right here at

1871
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 7: the table.

1872
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 3: So Greg happens to be running in my district, So

1873
01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:27,559
Speaker 3: I know a lot more about my district in Owso County.

1874
01:18:27,560 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 3: But I guess from your standpoint of what you're hearing

1875
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,759
Speaker 3: from the constituents what it seems to be the biggest

1876
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:36,080
Speaker 3: threat of like the biggest issue that you need to

1877
01:18:36,080 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 3: face right now in your district.

1878
01:18:37,400 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 8: I think right now the biggest thing is what's going

1879
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 8: on around the community and and the people that own

1880
01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:46,040
Speaker 8: these businesses, right they have all homeless people and they

1881
01:18:46,040 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 8: got it. We have a lot of homeless and we

1882
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 8: have to find a place to put them. You know,

1883
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 8: we want to help people, but we can't lock them up.

1884
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 8: They don't stay. So we've got to help people. But

1885
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:57,560
Speaker 8: those people, maybe you're going to sit down next to

1886
01:18:57,600 --> 01:18:59,280
Speaker 8: him once in a while and ask them what's the matter.

1887
01:18:59,640 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 8: You know, hey, how'd you get here? Well, it might

1888
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 8: be a veteran sitting there and you know, he has problems.

1889
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,600
Speaker 8: He needs help, but nobody would sits down to the

1890
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,200
Speaker 8: fastest thing to do is lock the guy up, and

1891
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,000
Speaker 8: that and that is not finding the problem. You know,

1892
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:14,680
Speaker 8: you gotta you can't be part of the problem, be

1893
01:19:14,720 --> 01:19:16,360
Speaker 8: part of the solution. And a lot of things that

1894
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,320
Speaker 8: we're doing, and that's that's some things that I like

1895
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,479
Speaker 8: to uh go after, you know.

1896
01:19:20,479 --> 01:19:25,960
Speaker 4: So addressing homelessness, holmelessness, mental health, of course, I think

1897
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 4: self a community colleges college like self, a community college

1898
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:30,320
Speaker 4: should be free for our kids.

1899
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:31,880
Speaker 8: We should find a way for them to get their

1900
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 8: associates degree to get a jump start. We have all

1901
01:19:35,240 --> 01:19:37,360
Speaker 8: these programs in schools, the you know, you got the

1902
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,479
Speaker 8: ib programs, you got all these other programs that we

1903
01:19:39,479 --> 01:19:41,519
Speaker 8: have in these schools. They come out with college credits.

1904
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 8: They go to college for one year, they having a

1905
01:19:43,280 --> 01:19:47,559
Speaker 8: socials degree. It's helping parents. It's helping them making sure

1906
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:49,760
Speaker 8: they get the right education and the right you know,

1907
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,160
Speaker 8: pushing them in the right directions, and a lot of things.

1908
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 8: Some kids they're not going to go to school. They

1909
01:19:55,400 --> 01:19:56,759
Speaker 8: need they need to go to trades.

1910
01:19:56,840 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 3: Trade trades.

1911
01:19:58,640 --> 01:20:00,920
Speaker 8: Say, I'm a tradesman. We but we need plumbers, we

1912
01:20:00,960 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 8: need electricians, we need h vac guys, we need we

1913
01:20:03,320 --> 01:20:03,640
Speaker 8: do you have.

1914
01:20:03,680 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: The busiest people, especially now with it is.

1915
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,360
Speaker 8: Booming like crazy right now and in the next couple

1916
01:20:10,360 --> 01:20:12,080
Speaker 8: of years it's going to be even worse. And they

1917
01:20:12,080 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 8: can't find the trades people.

1918
01:20:13,080 --> 01:20:15,639
Speaker 5: They can't find the trades people to build the nuclear

1919
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 5: submarines of building in gron because.

1920
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,559
Speaker 8: Now you speak about that nuclear submarine thing and West

1921
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,839
Speaker 8: Dice of schools, I went and visited them. They're building

1922
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 8: parts for the subs in Groton, Connecticut, for the for

1923
01:20:27,400 --> 01:20:31,760
Speaker 8: the for that submarine company, and they're actually partnering with

1924
01:20:31,800 --> 01:20:34,360
Speaker 8: the schools and it starts the whole thing. Actually, I'm

1925
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:37,920
Speaker 8: going to a school board convention in Manhattan tomorrow tomorrow night,

1926
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 8: and it's Thursday and Friday, and we'll go to that

1927
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 8: floor and we'll see what these all kinds of things

1928
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:44,320
Speaker 8: that they have for these kids.

1929
01:20:44,360 --> 01:20:46,800
Speaker 5: Well, that's great, that's how the education should be, should

1930
01:20:46,920 --> 01:20:47,560
Speaker 5: be practical.

1931
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:49,519
Speaker 3: Is that like done through the STEM program?

1932
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:52,360
Speaker 8: STEM and all that STEM is. STEM is big right now.

1933
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:56,080
Speaker 7: YEAHS is a part of the going very well.

1934
01:20:56,160 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1935
01:20:56,720 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 7: Post Seas instituted a great STEM program a bunch of

1936
01:20:59,280 --> 01:20:59,680
Speaker 7: years back.

1937
01:20:59,680 --> 01:21:02,879
Speaker 4: Myself on one throw, robotics is big too.

1938
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:05,000
Speaker 8: These kids with the robotics and the electronics and stuff.

1939
01:21:05,000 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 8: It's helping out them all.

1940
01:21:06,040 --> 01:21:08,439
Speaker 7: Well, I think, you know, for so long the trades

1941
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:12,880
Speaker 7: were downplayed, and you know, the schools had this thing

1942
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:14,400
Speaker 7: that they wanted to put forward that you had to

1943
01:21:14,400 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 7: go to college. They wanted their stats of how many

1944
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,400
Speaker 7: kids went to what schools, how many gotten IVY League.

1945
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 7: And the truth is not everybody belongs to going to college.

1946
01:21:21,240 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 7: And there's way too many people with college degrees and

1947
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:26,639
Speaker 7: there's no jobs for them. There's no people need trades,

1948
01:21:26,680 --> 01:21:29,439
Speaker 7: Like you cannot have a home without electric and plumbing

1949
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:31,920
Speaker 7: and all of these things. And like to your point,

1950
01:21:31,960 --> 01:21:34,280
Speaker 7: nobody's there doing them anymore. I mean, how long do

1951
01:21:34,320 --> 01:21:36,479
Speaker 7: you wait to get a good trades person to come

1952
01:21:36,479 --> 01:21:37,599
Speaker 7: in and they can charge you anything?

1953
01:21:37,640 --> 01:21:40,920
Speaker 4: Now, because supplying demands, supply and demand flying demand.

1954
01:21:41,120 --> 01:21:42,880
Speaker 7: I told my boys, I'm like, don't waste your time

1955
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 7: on college, boy, and like go do a trade, start

1956
01:21:47,479 --> 01:21:48,000
Speaker 7: a business.

1957
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:50,320
Speaker 2: And on top of it, it's just put people into

1958
01:21:50,360 --> 01:21:53,160
Speaker 2: so much debt. But because we've been pushed, that's how

1959
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:54,360
Speaker 2: the society has been pushed.

1960
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 3: Go to college, Go to.

1961
01:21:55,439 --> 01:22:00,280
Speaker 2: College, and then you amass this incredible debt. So I

1962
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 2: don't know how it's ever.

1963
01:22:01,080 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: Going to get paid off. Honestly, I don't know how.

1964
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:06,599
Speaker 8: Again passed down. So my father had nine brothers, nine

1965
01:22:06,640 --> 01:22:10,600
Speaker 8: brothers and one sister. So the THREEDOMI bricklayers, four of

1966
01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,640
Speaker 8: them with labors, two owned delis, you know, and one

1967
01:22:13,720 --> 01:22:14,799
Speaker 8: was one of mechanics.

1968
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:15,280
Speaker 3: Did you hear that?

1969
01:22:15,360 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 8: Mom?

1970
01:22:15,560 --> 01:22:17,280
Speaker 3: My mom's one girl with six brothers. She thought that

1971
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:22,599
Speaker 3: was bad with nine brothers, brothers and one girl. Six

1972
01:22:22,640 --> 01:22:26,040
Speaker 3: brothers and one girl. See mom there, it's worse, probably

1973
01:22:26,040 --> 01:22:29,160
Speaker 3: watching from the road. So we don't have much time

1974
01:22:29,200 --> 01:22:30,920
Speaker 3: left and we have to play Bob's video. I just

1975
01:22:30,920 --> 01:22:32,240
Speaker 3: want to know if you want to give a closing

1976
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 3: where they could find you on your website.

1977
01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:36,800

Speaker 3: was in his like regular stuff.

1989
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:01,160

Speaker 8: take Joe down.

1991
01:23:01,760 --> 01:23:04,280

Speaker 3: start it. Joe loves you. We all do here. We

01:23:13,600 --> 01:23:16,800
Speaker 3: the first of many things. Yes, yes, so we are

1997
01:23:16,840 --> 01:23:20,080
Speaker 3: gonna Bob Kern hold on, I don't. I'm really bad

1998
01:23:20,080 --> 01:23:23,599
Speaker 3: because my brain is hired. On Tuesdays, we met through

1999
01:23:23,600 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 3: our good friend who's his campaign manager. Bob Kern is

Speaker 3: the incumbent for the Riverhead Town Council what a gentleman

2001
01:23:31,320 --> 01:23:33,839
Speaker 3: came in here was an Oh, he's a total patriot.

2002
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 3: He couldn't make it tonight because he had to go

2003
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:37,720
Speaker 3: to a meeting last minute that was very important. But

2004
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,559
Speaker 3: control him. If you could just bring up Bob's video,

2005
01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,000

2008
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,960
Speaker 3: video that Bill had earlier. It came to me late today. There,

2009
01:23:54,960 --> 01:24:01,599
Speaker 3: I think that's ready for it. Nope, not a good connection.

2010
01:24:01,840 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 2: No.

2022
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,479
Speaker 3: wanted to if we could bring up the Tommy Caravan

2023
01:24:26,600 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 3: flyer please. I was starting to say that before. We

2024
01:24:30,000 --> 01:24:32,000
Speaker 3: found out the other day that there's a young man

2025
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:36,000
Speaker 3: in North Babylon. His name is Tommy. He's nineteen years old.

2026
01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:40,320
Speaker 3: He has down syndrome and he's not doing well. He

2027
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:43,439
Speaker 3: doesn't have much time left and he loves cars and trucks.

2028
01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:48,080
Speaker 3: So he we somehow got to the Belmore Patriots. We're

2029
01:24:48,080 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 3: going to bring a caravan to him. Then we found

2030
01:24:49,479 --> 01:24:51,120
Speaker 3: out he loves Donald Trump. I said, can you ask

2031
01:24:51,160 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 3: his mom if he likes Trump? Because a lot of

2032
01:24:52,600 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 3: our cars are very Trump like. I don't want to

2033
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 3: offend them. Well, this young man, he's nonverbal now at

2034
01:24:57,120 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 3: this point, when he could still speak a few months ago,

2035
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:02,320
Speaker 3: he used to tell his family and friends that Donald

2036
01:25:02,360 --> 01:25:04,680
Speaker 3: Trump is coming, is back and he's getting his country back,

2037
01:25:04,680 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 3: which makes me want to come. And that he used

2038
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 3: to go on his bus and show his bus driver

2039
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,680
Speaker 3: and the students pictures of Donald Trump. So that just

2040
01:25:11,680 --> 01:25:14,080
Speaker 3: made me fall in love with him even more. We

2041
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:16,400
