0:00:21.657 --> 0:00:26.137
<v Speaker 1>Buck Sexton Show. On this episode, Jacqueline Toberoff is with

0:00:26.217 --> 0:00:29.937
<v Speaker 1>us right now. She is politically activated. She's an author.

0:00:30.057 --> 0:00:32.937
<v Speaker 1>She ran for New York City Council. It's got a

0:00:32.937 --> 0:00:36.537
<v Speaker 1>book coming out on being a supermom. She also writes

0:00:36.537 --> 0:00:39.337
<v Speaker 1>for Human Events and like me, she's a fellow New

0:00:39.417 --> 0:00:42.697
<v Speaker 1>York girl, though I'm a former fellow New Yorker. Jackie.

0:00:43.137 --> 0:00:45.857
<v Speaker 1>Great to have in the show first time. Thank you.

0:00:45.937 --> 0:00:49.057
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited to be here. So you were actually

0:00:49.137 --> 0:00:56.377
<v Speaker 1>down there earlier this week at the Trump indictment arraignment situation.

0:00:56.617 --> 0:01:00.257
<v Speaker 1>Just tell everybody, you know, what's that like, What was

0:01:00.297 --> 0:01:03.977
<v Speaker 1>the vibe? What was the feel? The vibe was amazing.

0:01:04.097 --> 0:01:06.897
<v Speaker 1>So Gavin Wax and the New York Young Republicans put

0:01:06.897 --> 0:01:09.857
<v Speaker 1>it together. This was their second one. The first was

0:01:10.337 --> 0:01:15.377
<v Speaker 1>in March on the twenty first, I think when news

0:01:15.417 --> 0:01:18.377
<v Speaker 1>first broke today. It was the second one. They had

0:01:18.497 --> 0:01:23.177
<v Speaker 1>Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green as one of the speakers, and

0:01:23.417 --> 0:01:26.817
<v Speaker 1>it was they invited members to their club, so it

0:01:26.857 --> 0:01:32.457
<v Speaker 1>was basically all locals. No one was bust in to riot,

0:01:32.537 --> 0:01:36.817
<v Speaker 1>to arson, to loot, to assault. It was very orderly,

0:01:37.097 --> 0:01:40.577
<v Speaker 1>with a couple of exceptions. It turns out after going

0:01:40.737 --> 0:01:46.257
<v Speaker 1>on to Twitter that New York City council person Shays

0:01:46.297 --> 0:01:51.657
<v Speaker 1>Say was handing out whistles so that agitators could basically

0:01:51.977 --> 0:01:56.737
<v Speaker 1>blow out ear drums of people they're protesting Alvin Bragg.

0:01:57.177 --> 0:02:03.377
<v Speaker 1>But it was very civil, orderly. Everyone was cheering for

0:02:03.897 --> 0:02:07.057
<v Speaker 1>Marjorie Taylor Green. And again this is in New York City,

0:02:07.097 --> 0:02:11.057
<v Speaker 1>this is in Manhattan, and there was genuine support. What

0:02:11.137 --> 0:02:13.777
<v Speaker 1>do you think it means now that it's official. I

0:02:13.857 --> 0:02:16.977
<v Speaker 1>mean Trump is indicted, the indictment is out. This is

0:02:17.017 --> 0:02:19.817
<v Speaker 1>really happening. Just start first with I mean, as a

0:02:19.857 --> 0:02:23.137
<v Speaker 1>New Yorker, it must be very weird. I mean this

0:02:23.177 --> 0:02:25.857
<v Speaker 1>is how I feel as a you know, thirty some

0:02:26.017 --> 0:02:30.097
<v Speaker 1>odd year New Yorker feels weird that this native son

0:02:30.217 --> 0:02:33.737
<v Speaker 1>of New York, of Queens no less, became president and

0:02:33.817 --> 0:02:37.497
<v Speaker 1>now he's being pulled back to his hometown to face

0:02:37.817 --> 0:02:41.137
<v Speaker 1>the most absurd charges I've really ever seen in any

0:02:41.137 --> 0:02:46.257
<v Speaker 1>criminal proceeding. Yeah, I think the people that were at

0:02:46.297 --> 0:02:48.817
<v Speaker 1>this protest today. There were plenty of them that were

0:02:48.817 --> 0:02:50.897
<v Speaker 1>in support of Trump, and then there were just plenty

0:02:50.937 --> 0:02:54.137
<v Speaker 1>of them that didn't see how indicting him and arresting

0:02:54.177 --> 0:02:57.177
<v Speaker 1>him would make their lives any better. You know, I'm

0:02:57.217 --> 0:02:59.937
<v Speaker 1>a mom of two. I don't know how this improves education.

0:03:00.097 --> 0:03:02.377
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how this improves crime. I don't know

0:03:02.377 --> 0:03:08.057
<v Speaker 1>how this improves the illegal crisis, drug crisis, the homeless encountments.

0:03:08.457 --> 0:03:10.377
<v Speaker 1>So there were plenty of people there that might not

0:03:10.417 --> 0:03:15.217
<v Speaker 1>have necessarily been Trump supporters, but they were certainly not

0:03:15.377 --> 0:03:19.857
<v Speaker 1>in support of what Alvin Brad is doing. Where do

0:03:19.857 --> 0:03:23.537
<v Speaker 1>you think it goes? I mean, I'm just wondering. You know,

0:03:23.817 --> 0:03:27.497
<v Speaker 1>there's there's now the possibility the judge will throw the

0:03:27.537 --> 0:03:29.537
<v Speaker 1>whole thing out. I'm sure there'll be a bunch of motions.

0:03:29.777 --> 0:03:32.777
<v Speaker 1>I would bet that it will not be thrown out.

0:03:33.457 --> 0:03:35.617
<v Speaker 1>My assumption is that they're going to let this play

0:03:35.617 --> 0:03:37.537
<v Speaker 1>out and go to a jury. The part of this

0:03:37.577 --> 0:03:39.897
<v Speaker 1>that I have not gotten a single good explanation for

0:03:40.057 --> 0:03:43.057
<v Speaker 1>yet is what do they want? Meaning? If they were

0:03:43.057 --> 0:03:44.977
<v Speaker 1>to get you know, usually you have a plead. This

0:03:45.057 --> 0:03:48.217
<v Speaker 1>is a it's a misdemeanor campaign finance charge right that

0:03:48.297 --> 0:03:52.497
<v Speaker 1>they've elevated to a felony based upon a nonindicted federal

0:03:52.577 --> 0:03:54.697
<v Speaker 1>crime that has nothing to do with the local, local

0:03:54.737 --> 0:03:59.817
<v Speaker 1>state statute at issue about you know, falsifying records or whatever.

0:04:01.297 --> 0:04:02.657
<v Speaker 1>Are they going to try to send him a jail,

0:04:02.697 --> 0:04:04.337
<v Speaker 1>because I mean, what, really is this going to turn

0:04:04.377 --> 0:04:07.777
<v Speaker 1>into one hundred thousand dollars fine for Trump? Is like

0:04:07.857 --> 0:04:09.737
<v Speaker 1>buying a soda for the rest of us? Like, what

0:04:09.777 --> 0:04:11.617
<v Speaker 1>are they think this is going to do? We know

0:04:11.697 --> 0:04:14.217
<v Speaker 1>the politics of it, but legally it just feels like

0:04:14.577 --> 0:04:18.777
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing is just crazy. I mean, look, I

0:04:18.817 --> 0:04:22.777
<v Speaker 1>think it's so clear that these people just hate this country.

0:04:22.777 --> 0:04:25.297
<v Speaker 1>And I saw that Leezeldon put out a tweet and

0:04:25.337 --> 0:04:30.697
<v Speaker 1>he said that they are hurting America. That's the point

0:04:30.817 --> 0:04:33.937
<v Speaker 1>that they're hurting America. They don't like America. This is

0:04:34.177 --> 0:04:38.657
<v Speaker 1>this isn't a big deal to them. I'm unsure whether

0:04:38.697 --> 0:04:40.937
<v Speaker 1>they took his photo for a monk shop, but then

0:04:40.977 --> 0:04:43.617
<v Speaker 1>there was news that they weren't going to They want

0:04:43.657 --> 0:04:47.137
<v Speaker 1>him disappeared. It feels like they want him in Siberia.

0:04:48.017 --> 0:04:50.777
<v Speaker 1>They don't want even though this is happening in Manhattan

0:04:50.817 --> 0:04:53.737
<v Speaker 1>and there naturally has so much attention on it. It's

0:04:53.777 --> 0:04:58.017
<v Speaker 1>almost like they just want to they just want to

0:04:58.057 --> 0:05:02.817
<v Speaker 1>disappear him. It's it's really just perverted and sick. And

0:05:03.417 --> 0:05:06.497
<v Speaker 1>I mean thirty four counts. What are these thirty four counts?

0:05:06.537 --> 0:05:08.857
<v Speaker 1>I mean you've been You're from New York City. You

0:05:08.857 --> 0:05:11.377
<v Speaker 1>know what's going on here. I mean, rapists and murderers

0:05:11.377 --> 0:05:14.337
<v Speaker 1>are roaming free. I want to ask you next about

0:05:14.337 --> 0:05:16.017
<v Speaker 1>how the city, how the city is doing, or we're

0:05:16.017 --> 0:05:19.097
<v Speaker 1>going to get into how Eric Adams is doing the

0:05:19.177 --> 0:05:22.657
<v Speaker 1>latest just feel of walking around on the streets there

0:05:22.657 --> 0:05:24.097
<v Speaker 1>and you know how how we're going to get to

0:05:24.217 --> 0:05:27.017
<v Speaker 1>to all that. But but just on on this Trump issue.

0:05:27.017 --> 0:05:30.337
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you get the sense right now? I

0:05:30.377 --> 0:05:31.817
<v Speaker 1>mean you were there, I know, with a bunch of

0:05:32.257 --> 0:05:35.857
<v Speaker 1>young Republicans club members in New York City. Is it

0:05:35.937 --> 0:05:37.897
<v Speaker 1>just Trump for you? Or Trump for you already? Like

0:05:37.937 --> 0:05:39.977
<v Speaker 1>it's you don't even want to see the primary play out?

0:05:40.017 --> 0:05:41.857
<v Speaker 1>Have you already decided in your mind? Or do you

0:05:41.937 --> 0:05:44.497
<v Speaker 1>want to see I was voting for I mean I

0:05:44.577 --> 0:05:47.577
<v Speaker 1>voted for Trump before. I'm one hundred percent voting for

0:05:47.617 --> 0:05:50.457
<v Speaker 1>Trump again. I unlike some of the other people, I

0:05:50.497 --> 0:05:53.617
<v Speaker 1>have no issue with dessentists I just don't know. We

0:05:53.657 --> 0:05:56.697
<v Speaker 1>have Trump. Things were great under Trump. I just don't

0:05:56.777 --> 0:06:00.817
<v Speaker 1>understand why we would go towards descantists. So I'm already

0:06:00.937 --> 0:06:04.897
<v Speaker 1>committed to who I'm voting for. UM. I think really

0:06:04.937 --> 0:06:11.257
<v Speaker 1>surprisingly that the the Democrats are counting on these suburban

0:06:11.337 --> 0:06:15.337
<v Speaker 1>moms to reject Donald Trump. I think what's going to

0:06:15.377 --> 0:06:19.697
<v Speaker 1>happen is the urban moms are going to reject the Democrats.

0:06:19.897 --> 0:06:24.577
<v Speaker 1>I I see such a repulsion here from moms again

0:06:24.697 --> 0:06:28.577
<v Speaker 1>about this, the left's attack on women, the crime school.

0:06:28.737 --> 0:06:31.657
<v Speaker 1>I just I really think we're going to be surprised

0:06:31.737 --> 0:06:35.777
<v Speaker 1>by New York City and specifically by the moms. We're

0:06:35.777 --> 0:06:38.217
<v Speaker 1>gonna come back to that in just a second. But first,

0:06:38.297 --> 0:06:39.817

0:06:39.977 --> 0:06:42.337

0:07:50.257 --> 0:07:52.497
<v Speaker 1>I left New York. Everyone listening to this knows that,

0:07:52.697 --> 0:07:54.417
<v Speaker 1>and I live in Florida. There are a lot of

0:07:54.417 --> 0:07:57.177
<v Speaker 1>reasons why people could go back to the many, many

0:07:57.177 --> 0:08:00.257
<v Speaker 1>shows I've done talking about this. But I still love

0:08:00.297 --> 0:08:02.417
<v Speaker 1>New York and I'm still rooting for New York and

0:08:02.457 --> 0:08:04.657
<v Speaker 1>I haven't ruled out that one day I would at

0:08:04.697 --> 0:08:08.417
<v Speaker 1>least spend part of if not, you know, permanently, my

0:08:09.097 --> 0:08:12.817
<v Speaker 1>my life back up, How is it going under Mayor

0:08:12.937 --> 0:08:16.457
<v Speaker 1>Eric Adams? Like, honestly, not just I know under de Blasio?

0:08:16.497 --> 0:08:18.777
<v Speaker 1>The answer was, he's awful top to bottom. He does

0:08:18.817 --> 0:08:22.097
<v Speaker 1>nothing right, He's an imbecile. Okay, that was de Blasio.

0:08:22.497 --> 0:08:25.217
<v Speaker 1>What's the honest assessment of Mayor Eric Adams in New

0:08:25.297 --> 0:08:28.017
<v Speaker 1>York City right now? Like, walk me the honest assessment.

0:08:28.217 --> 0:08:32.257
<v Speaker 1>The honest assessment is Eric Adams is a hundred times

0:08:32.257 --> 0:08:35.817
<v Speaker 1>worse than to Blasio. He was pitched as a moderate.

0:08:36.377 --> 0:08:39.817
<v Speaker 1>This guy, let me tell you something. From the very beginning,

0:08:39.937 --> 0:08:43.057
<v Speaker 1>he ran his campaign on race and from the basement,

0:08:43.617 --> 0:08:47.217
<v Speaker 1>no one pushed back on anything. He barely made it

0:08:47.257 --> 0:08:50.617
<v Speaker 1>through his primary, and he has been an unmitigated disaster.

0:08:50.737 --> 0:08:54.137
<v Speaker 1>So I have some numbers here. Within the past two years,

0:08:54.457 --> 0:08:58.737
<v Speaker 1>crime across the seven majors is up forty five point

0:08:58.857 --> 0:09:04.537
<v Speaker 1>forty percent. Okay, rape rape is up six point five percent,

0:09:05.017 --> 0:09:08.537
<v Speaker 1>and Graham larceny auto is up almost one hundred percent,

0:09:08.737 --> 0:09:14.057
<v Speaker 1>ninety three point five percent. It's a disaster. Arrests are

0:09:14.137 --> 0:09:20.337
<v Speaker 1>down fifty two percent of all of the arrests have

0:09:20.457 --> 0:09:24.257
<v Speaker 1>been downgraded. All of the crimes are downgraded. We are

0:09:24.297 --> 0:09:30.417
<v Speaker 1>emptying prisons. We have, as I said before, a homeless crisis.

0:09:31.497 --> 0:09:35.977
<v Speaker 1>We have illegal weed shops sprouting up on every other block.

0:09:36.097 --> 0:09:41.297
<v Speaker 1>It's like Starbucks. They're ubiquitous. What else I mean? We

0:09:41.377 --> 0:09:45.497
<v Speaker 1>have outmigration, we have a wrecking ball to the educational complex.

0:09:46.377 --> 0:09:49.537
<v Speaker 1>It's a disaster. It's really a disaster. I mean the

0:09:49.617 --> 0:09:52.817
<v Speaker 1>highlight was the rally this morning. It was a disaster.

0:09:53.857 --> 0:09:57.057
<v Speaker 1>So I don't understand this part of the equation. Right,

0:09:57.217 --> 0:10:00.897
<v Speaker 1>you're still in New York. It's eighty twenty Democrat to

0:10:01.017 --> 0:10:03.937
<v Speaker 1>Republican in New York City, and in that's across the

0:10:03.937 --> 0:10:07.057
<v Speaker 1>whole city. In Manhattan, I think it's more like ninety ten. Right,

0:10:07.137 --> 0:10:12.497
<v Speaker 1>It's Manhattan has become an enplay of comming nonsense. Sadly,

0:10:12.537 --> 0:10:15.457
<v Speaker 1>it's where I was born and raised. You two, and

0:10:16.577 --> 0:10:19.497
<v Speaker 1>I'm wondering, what do the people who voted What are

0:10:19.537 --> 0:10:23.817
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats who voted for Adams say to you, or like,

0:10:23.897 --> 0:10:26.257
<v Speaker 1>what is the conversation like with him? Do they think

0:10:26.297 --> 0:10:30.217
<v Speaker 1>he's doing a good job. Well, firstly, voter turnout, as

0:10:30.297 --> 0:10:33.777
<v Speaker 1>you know, was abysmal. It was very low. So this

0:10:33.857 --> 0:10:37.857
<v Speaker 1>is what you get with very low voter turnout. Again,

0:10:37.977 --> 0:10:40.777
<v Speaker 1>he was pitched by the media as a moderate, so

0:10:40.897 --> 0:10:44.297
<v Speaker 1>people maybe shrugged it off and thought, look, this guy

0:10:44.337 --> 0:10:47.817
<v Speaker 1>worked with the NYPD. Finally we're going to have someone

0:10:47.857 --> 0:10:51.217
<v Speaker 1>who's tough. I'm crime. Don't forget we had some wackos

0:10:51.297 --> 0:10:55.537
<v Speaker 1>running against him. I mean we had Maya Wiley, we

0:10:55.617 --> 0:10:58.577
<v Speaker 1>had someone who was head of the sanitation. This is

0:10:58.617 --> 0:11:02.217
<v Speaker 1>on the heels of garbage piles up to the sky.

0:11:02.737 --> 0:11:06.737
<v Speaker 1>It was a disaster. So we have Adams, and I

0:11:06.777 --> 0:11:11.657
<v Speaker 1>think that people are into camps. There are the people

0:11:11.817 --> 0:11:15.537
<v Speaker 1>that are deluded and they think everything is great and

0:11:15.577 --> 0:11:18.617
<v Speaker 1>they live in their doorman buildings on the Upper West Side.

0:11:19.857 --> 0:11:23.577
<v Speaker 1>And then there are the people that are really galvanizing.

0:11:23.577 --> 0:11:25.137
<v Speaker 1>And again I hate to go back to this, but

0:11:25.177 --> 0:11:28.337
<v Speaker 1>it really is. It's the moms you know, things get

0:11:28.377 --> 0:11:32.177
<v Speaker 1>real in the field once you have kids. And really

0:11:32.217 --> 0:11:34.737
<v Speaker 1>there's a common phenomenator. Everyone wants a good school and

0:11:34.777 --> 0:11:37.057
<v Speaker 1>everyone wants to feel safe. And we have neither of

0:11:37.097 --> 0:11:40.977
<v Speaker 1>those two things. Under Adams, everything is worse. The priority

0:11:41.177 --> 0:11:46.377
<v Speaker 1>is always criminals over constituents. What is he focused on?

0:11:46.417 --> 0:11:49.017
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just amazing to me because you know

0:11:49.097 --> 0:11:51.577
<v Speaker 1>New York it's when and then this is true because

0:11:51.577 --> 0:11:53.817
<v Speaker 1>you know, I do a radio show and we're on

0:11:53.977 --> 0:11:56.817
<v Speaker 1>basically five hundred stations or on base really all over

0:11:56.817 --> 0:11:59.457
<v Speaker 1>the country. Right, But we always say that New York

0:12:00.297 --> 0:12:03.977
<v Speaker 1>was the place that the whole country looked to for

0:12:04.497 --> 0:12:10.937
<v Speaker 1>the Juliani crime miracle turnaround situation that then was replicated

0:12:11.017 --> 0:12:13.017
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the policing and the strategy in a

0:12:13.017 --> 0:12:15.377
<v Speaker 1>lot of other places across the country. Right. So, because

0:12:15.377 --> 0:12:18.217
<v Speaker 1>it worked in America's biggest city in the nineties, going

0:12:18.297 --> 0:12:21.737
<v Speaker 1>from over two thousand murders in nineteen ninety two three

0:12:21.857 --> 0:12:24.217
<v Speaker 1>hundred murders by the early two thousands something like that,

0:12:24.337 --> 0:12:28.177
<v Speaker 1>maybe maybe you know the low four hundreds. Because of that,

0:12:28.857 --> 0:12:31.497
<v Speaker 1>people will understand that New York is this symbol right

0:12:31.537 --> 0:12:35.777
<v Speaker 1>for what could be possible, And Adams was the one

0:12:35.817 --> 0:12:37.177
<v Speaker 1>thing that I mean, I was still living in the

0:12:37.177 --> 0:12:39.177
<v Speaker 1>city at the time. I remember the one thing that

0:12:39.177 --> 0:12:42.017
<v Speaker 1>everybody was saying, other than you know, COVID and Triple

0:12:42.097 --> 0:12:45.977
<v Speaker 1>Mask and be lunatics, was this guy needs to clean

0:12:46.057 --> 0:12:48.457
<v Speaker 1>up the city in terms of crime, also in terms

0:12:48.457 --> 0:12:50.217
<v Speaker 1>of like sanitational the streets by the way, the city

0:12:50.257 --> 0:12:52.097
<v Speaker 1>was getting dirtier. It really was that. You know, they'd

0:12:52.097 --> 0:12:55.217
<v Speaker 1>cut the sanitation budget, as you know, And it seems

0:12:55.217 --> 0:12:57.977
<v Speaker 1>to me like all he has to do is look

0:12:58.017 --> 0:13:00.257
<v Speaker 1>at what has worked in the past and have a

0:13:00.297 --> 0:13:04.457
<v Speaker 1>maniacal focus as mayor on that, on bringing down these numbers,

0:13:04.457 --> 0:13:07.977
<v Speaker 1>and he'd be not just a good mayor, a national

0:13:08.057 --> 0:13:11.817
<v Speaker 1>hero and a likely Democrat presidential contender in the future.

0:13:12.417 --> 0:13:16.057
<v Speaker 1>It's so obvious. What is he unwilling to do it,

0:13:16.217 --> 0:13:18.937
<v Speaker 1>or is he not capable of doing it because of

0:13:18.977 --> 0:13:22.457
<v Speaker 1>the realities of the Democrat Party around him today or whatever.

0:13:23.537 --> 0:13:26.737
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's it. I really don't think the

0:13:26.777 --> 0:13:33.777
<v Speaker 1>Democrat Party believes at this point that cleaning up the city,

0:13:34.337 --> 0:13:38.097
<v Speaker 1>which includes literally cleaning it up as well as making

0:13:38.137 --> 0:13:44.617
<v Speaker 1>it safer, is a value that they share with the

0:13:44.657 --> 0:13:46.657
<v Speaker 1>rest of us. I just I think that that's the

0:13:46.777 --> 0:13:51.017
<v Speaker 1>real disconnect. I don't think he would be accepted in

0:13:51.057 --> 0:13:53.937
<v Speaker 1>those circles if he cleaned up the city at all.

0:13:53.977 --> 0:13:57.937
<v Speaker 1>I think he'd probably lose his value to the Democrat Party.

0:13:57.937 --> 0:14:00.377
<v Speaker 1>I mean, right here in city Council, we just had

0:14:01.697 --> 0:14:03.937
<v Speaker 1>a group I've forgot how many they are a number,

0:14:04.017 --> 0:14:08.697
<v Speaker 1>but they're part of now the Progressive Caucus. They were

0:14:08.817 --> 0:14:13.057
<v Speaker 1>literally kicking out Democrats from city Council that did not

0:14:13.217 --> 0:14:18.217
<v Speaker 1>agree to completely abolish the NYPD. So, I mean, to

0:14:18.257 --> 0:14:22.217
<v Speaker 1>your point, I don't know if cleaning up the city

0:14:22.537 --> 0:14:28.177
<v Speaker 1>would secure him any higher office within the Democrat Party

0:14:28.217 --> 0:14:30.577
<v Speaker 1>at all. Well, to do it, you'd have to lock

0:14:30.697 --> 0:14:35.137
<v Speaker 1>more people up. You'd have to reincarceer rate instead of

0:14:35.177 --> 0:14:38.497
<v Speaker 1>d incarcer rate, which has been the mantra of so

0:14:38.537 --> 0:14:41.977
<v Speaker 1>many Democrat controlled cities for a long time now. And

0:14:42.017 --> 0:14:45.617
<v Speaker 1>I think that the activist and donor class of the Democrats,

0:14:45.937 --> 0:14:49.977
<v Speaker 1>whether in New York or in any major left wing

0:14:50.057 --> 0:14:53.537
<v Speaker 1>enclave across the country, they're just unwilling for that to

0:14:53.577 --> 0:14:57.577
<v Speaker 1>happen right now. Maybe at some level it's there's a stubbornness.

0:14:57.617 --> 0:14:59.377
<v Speaker 1>They don't want to admit that they were wrong through

0:14:59.417 --> 0:15:02.617
<v Speaker 1>the policy change, right, But also I mean to your

0:15:02.657 --> 0:15:04.497
<v Speaker 1>point about the people who live on the Upper West

0:15:04.537 --> 0:15:06.897
<v Speaker 1>Side in the doorman buildings, and I know plenty of them,

0:15:06.937 --> 0:15:10.937
<v Speaker 1>and so do you. I think that they would rather

0:15:11.777 --> 0:15:17.937
<v Speaker 1>people in poorer neighborhoods live in less safety, greater jeopardy

0:15:18.057 --> 0:15:21.417
<v Speaker 1>of suffering from crime, including violent crime, as long as

0:15:21.497 --> 0:15:24.617
<v Speaker 1>they themselves, meaning the rich people get to feel good

0:15:24.657 --> 0:15:30.137
<v Speaker 1>about themselves and are getting the virtue signaling points in

0:15:30.137 --> 0:15:32.817
<v Speaker 1>their peer group that matters more to them. And that's

0:15:32.817 --> 0:15:38.177
<v Speaker 1>the calculation they make. A hundred percent, I mean, that's

0:15:38.177 --> 0:15:40.097
<v Speaker 1>what it is. I mean, look at cnpole just came

0:15:40.097 --> 0:15:42.937
<v Speaker 1>out eighty percent of New York City residents say crime

0:15:43.017 --> 0:15:46.177
<v Speaker 1>is a serious issue. Eighty percent. So going back, New

0:15:46.257 --> 0:15:50.217
<v Speaker 1>York City is eight to one Democrat to Republican and

0:15:50.457 --> 0:15:54.057
<v Speaker 1>eighty percent or saying crime is a serious issue. Yeah,

0:15:54.057 --> 0:15:56.817
<v Speaker 1>it seems like this should be the most obvious, the

0:15:56.817 --> 0:15:59.817
<v Speaker 1>most obvious pathway forward laid out for a may or

0:15:59.817 --> 0:16:02.697
<v Speaker 1>for administration you could ever find. But also, you know,

0:16:02.777 --> 0:16:05.617
<v Speaker 1>recently in the city, what was it just over the weekend,

0:16:06.417 --> 0:16:09.097
<v Speaker 1>there was that and I know that garage. I've actually

0:16:09.097 --> 0:16:11.057
<v Speaker 1>spent a lot of time in that area, you know,

0:16:11.177 --> 0:16:13.537
<v Speaker 1>near in between Hudson Yards and actually where my old

0:16:14.257 --> 0:16:16.337
<v Speaker 1>studio used to be. And so I've just I've been

0:16:16.377 --> 0:16:18.017
<v Speaker 1>around there a lot. I know, I haven't, you know,

0:16:18.137 --> 0:16:19.857
<v Speaker 1>not like super familiar with the garage, but I know

0:16:19.897 --> 0:16:23.537
<v Speaker 1>it by sight. And that guy who confronted somebody who

0:16:23.577 --> 0:16:26.417
<v Speaker 1>was coming clearly a career criminal with I think over

0:16:26.457 --> 0:16:29.217
<v Speaker 1>twenty arrests already, twenty arrests. I mean, you think by

0:16:29.297 --> 0:16:31.217
<v Speaker 1>arrest number five you might start to question some of

0:16:31.217 --> 0:16:34.777
<v Speaker 1>your life choices. But twenty arrests and the guy pulls

0:16:34.777 --> 0:16:38.057
<v Speaker 1>out a gun shoots him. It's amazing. The guy Musa

0:16:38.137 --> 0:16:42.337
<v Speaker 1>I believe was his name, the employee he turned the

0:16:42.337 --> 0:16:46.297
<v Speaker 1>gun on the individual shot him after being shot, So

0:16:46.377 --> 0:16:49.537
<v Speaker 1>he shot the criminal. It's remarkable. He's not dead. And

0:16:49.577 --> 0:16:51.977
<v Speaker 1>he spent the weekend chained to his bed at Bellevue

0:16:52.577 --> 0:16:57.257
<v Speaker 1>under attempted murder charges. Because Alvin Bragg is a pro

0:16:57.337 --> 0:16:59.777
<v Speaker 1>criminal psychopath. I don't know how else to put it,

0:16:59.817 --> 0:17:01.497
<v Speaker 1>Like what I know, he dropped the charges and we're

0:17:01.497 --> 0:17:05.577
<v Speaker 1>also to think that's fine. What kind of maniac charges

0:17:05.617 --> 0:17:08.017
<v Speaker 1>the I mean, the fact pattern was very clear. An

0:17:08.097 --> 0:17:10.777
<v Speaker 1>employee of the place, he didn't bring the gut in there.

0:17:10.897 --> 0:17:13.897
<v Speaker 1>He wasn't trying to steal anything Like, it's just, well,

0:17:13.937 --> 0:17:15.417
<v Speaker 1>how do you live with that? How do you deal

0:17:15.497 --> 0:17:18.897
<v Speaker 1>with that? Jokes on Musa, he thought that, you know,

0:17:18.977 --> 0:17:24.937
<v Speaker 1>defending himself was some sort of right. It's not here

0:17:24.937 --> 0:17:27.497
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. It really Again, it's it's just

0:17:27.737 --> 0:17:32.417
<v Speaker 1>pro criminal. Every single policy favors that of a criminal

0:17:32.457 --> 0:17:37.737
<v Speaker 1>over law abiding residents. It's it's really it's terrifying. Quite frankly,

0:17:37.817 --> 0:17:40.697
<v Speaker 1>it's really terrifying. You don't you go to see It's

0:17:40.697 --> 0:17:42.417
<v Speaker 1>interesting me because you're actually a lot of people talk

0:17:42.457 --> 0:17:44.657
<v Speaker 1>about like, oh, we're gonna do you run for city

0:17:44.657 --> 0:17:47.537
<v Speaker 1>council in New York. You're involved in politics in New York.

0:17:47.537 --> 0:17:49.137
<v Speaker 1>So just to be clear to everybody, you're not you know,

0:17:49.577 --> 0:17:51.777
<v Speaker 1>you're not a mom who's saying maybe somebody else is

0:17:51.817 --> 0:17:54.057
<v Speaker 1>gonna pick up the tours and try to do something.

0:17:54.097 --> 0:17:56.817
<v Speaker 1>You're you're actually trying to charge up that hill in

0:17:56.817 --> 0:18:00.977
<v Speaker 1>this nest of very wealthy commies in New York City.

0:18:01.057 --> 0:18:03.697
<v Speaker 1>Like you're actually trying to charge up that hill. Um, well,

0:18:03.817 --> 0:18:05.057
<v Speaker 1>I want to come back to that actually and ask

0:18:05.097 --> 0:18:07.417
<v Speaker 1>you a little bit about the internal political dynamics and

0:18:07.737 --> 0:18:11.337
<v Speaker 1>running for city council. And I'll maybe if I remember

0:18:11.377 --> 0:18:13.577
<v Speaker 1>to do. There's a funny story about the Austin City

0:18:13.577 --> 0:18:16.937
<v Speaker 1>Council from when I visited there that you might find worthwhile.

0:18:16.977 --> 0:18:18.337
<v Speaker 1>But we'll come back to that a second, because I

0:18:18.377 --> 0:18:20.857
<v Speaker 1>want ever to know. You got to prepare now for

0:18:20.897 --> 0:18:24.737
<v Speaker 1>what's coming financially, the recent bank failures, the nation's largest

0:18:24.857 --> 0:18:27.617
<v Speaker 1>since two thousand and eight, the financial collapse. So if

0:18:27.617 --> 0:18:29.417
<v Speaker 1>you've been on the fence about buying gold and silver,

0:18:29.537 --> 0:18:31.297
<v Speaker 1>now is the time to make the call. Gold and

0:18:31.337 --> 0:18:33.897
<v Speaker 1>silver can be a protection for your portfolio, but can

0:18:33.937 --> 0:18:35.857
<v Speaker 1>also be used as currency. I think we may need

0:18:35.897 --> 0:18:38.097
<v Speaker 1>both of those at some point. You might not have

0:18:38.217 --> 0:18:41.177
<v Speaker 1>a little gold at home, yet you should, and now

0:18:41.297 --> 0:18:42.977
<v Speaker 1>is the time to call the Oxford Gold Group. I've

0:18:43.017 --> 0:18:44.937
<v Speaker 1>got my gold over here, I've got my gun safe

0:18:44.977 --> 0:18:46.977
<v Speaker 1>over there, my gold and my silver over here, silver

0:18:47.057 --> 0:18:49.777
<v Speaker 1>over here. This is how we roll in the Sexton household.

0:18:49.857 --> 0:18:52.257
<v Speaker 1>So now is the time. Oxford, who I've been working

<v Speaker 1>three three four zero four g O l D. All Right,

0:19:21.817 --> 0:19:25.297
<v Speaker 1>so you you tried to run Jackie in New York

0:19:25.377 --> 0:19:30.177
<v Speaker 1>City for the council there, and how how is that?

0:19:30.377 --> 0:19:32.977
<v Speaker 1>By the way, are you shocked when you because you

0:19:33.097 --> 0:19:37.257
<v Speaker 1>must be coming across the the Democrat positions and everything

0:19:37.297 --> 0:19:39.657
<v Speaker 1>because city council, I feel like they have to fake

0:19:39.697 --> 0:19:42.137
<v Speaker 1>the Democrats have to fake people out at the state level,

0:19:42.697 --> 0:19:44.577
<v Speaker 1>not so much in New York and California, but you

0:19:44.577 --> 0:19:47.177
<v Speaker 1>know they have to they have to sound not completely

0:19:47.217 --> 0:19:51.297
<v Speaker 1>insane um just because of the national level profile those

0:19:51.337 --> 0:19:54.217
<v Speaker 1>kinds of roles as well. But city council, I mean,

0:19:54.857 --> 0:19:57.577
<v Speaker 1>you know, you go to a Democrat enclave. I remember

0:19:57.617 --> 0:19:59.737
<v Speaker 1>the college. I went to the town. The town council

0:20:00.177 --> 0:20:02.897
<v Speaker 1>declared that it was a nuclear weapon free zone in

0:20:02.937 --> 0:20:05.057
<v Speaker 1>the town, like they actually passed the resolution. Like you know,

0:20:05.097 --> 0:20:08.337
<v Speaker 1>these people can be totally wacko. How wacko is the

0:20:08.337 --> 0:20:12.537
<v Speaker 1>New York City Council. The New York City Council is

0:20:12.937 --> 0:20:18.377
<v Speaker 1>freaking wacko. I mean, it's ground zero of wacko. The

0:20:18.457 --> 0:20:20.697
<v Speaker 1>good news for me when I was running is I

0:20:20.777 --> 0:20:25.297
<v Speaker 1>knew nothing. I was never politically active before. I had

0:20:25.617 --> 0:20:27.937
<v Speaker 1>no basis. It's not like I tried this a couple

0:20:28.017 --> 0:20:30.257
<v Speaker 1>times and had any sort of clue. I went in

0:20:30.377 --> 0:20:36.657
<v Speaker 1>guns blazing figuratively, and I truly it was one of

0:20:36.697 --> 0:20:40.737
<v Speaker 1>the best experiences of my life. I would encourage anyone

0:20:40.777 --> 0:20:45.537
<v Speaker 1>who is sick of the policies and what's outside their

0:20:45.577 --> 0:20:49.257
<v Speaker 1>front door, actually inside their front door, to run. It's

0:20:50.017 --> 0:20:53.177
<v Speaker 1>beyond me why people look for others to lead them.

0:20:53.737 --> 0:20:56.417
<v Speaker 1>And you know, even going back again to this rally,

0:20:56.457 --> 0:20:59.377
<v Speaker 1>all the people that were criticizing Gavin Watts, at least

0:20:59.377 --> 0:21:03.417
<v Speaker 1>he did something. I mean, people need to stop waiting

0:21:03.457 --> 0:21:05.377
<v Speaker 1>to be told what to do. You really need to

0:21:05.377 --> 0:21:07.737
<v Speaker 1>be told by someone to take off a mask after

0:21:07.857 --> 0:21:11.457
<v Speaker 1>three years, you know, you know, people need to exhibit

0:21:11.537 --> 0:21:15.457
<v Speaker 1>some sort of personal agency in their lives. Are you

0:21:15.537 --> 0:21:22.457
<v Speaker 1>coming across Democrat moms who are red pilled at this point?

0:21:22.497 --> 0:21:25.857
<v Speaker 1>I mean, are you coming across Democrat moms who realize

0:21:26.377 --> 0:21:29.097
<v Speaker 1>that they are casting votes and have been casting votes

0:21:29.817 --> 0:21:32.737
<v Speaker 1>for their own kids, especially if they're boys, they're teenagers,

0:21:33.217 --> 0:21:35.697
<v Speaker 1>to be more likely to get, you know, beaten with

0:21:35.897 --> 0:21:39.697
<v Speaker 1>a bottle on their way home by some lunatic. More

0:21:39.737 --> 0:21:42.617
<v Speaker 1>likely that they themselves, as women, maybe assaulted on the

0:21:42.657 --> 0:21:46.697
<v Speaker 1>Street's more likely that there'll be some maniac relieving himself

0:21:46.777 --> 0:21:48.777
<v Speaker 1>on their front door wherever they live in Manhattan, Like

0:21:48.857 --> 0:21:50.217
<v Speaker 1>this is what goes on in New York. I mean,

0:21:50.217 --> 0:21:51.537
<v Speaker 1>I'm not you know, everyone can just look at the

0:21:51.537 --> 0:21:54.537
<v Speaker 1>headlines and look at the reality. There are there Democrat

0:21:54.577 --> 0:21:57.657
<v Speaker 1>moms who are being red pilled. They're freaking attacking me.

0:21:57.777 --> 0:21:59.897
<v Speaker 1>They stopped me on the street. Anyone that lives in

0:21:59.937 --> 0:22:02.257
<v Speaker 1>my district that recognizes me from when I ran, or

0:22:02.257 --> 0:22:05.697
<v Speaker 1>that follows me on Instagram, they attack me. I mean,

0:22:05.857 --> 0:22:09.617
<v Speaker 1>I look, I'm a Republican. I've always been a Republican.

0:22:10.097 --> 0:22:11.937
<v Speaker 1>In my house. It was when we were growing up,

0:22:12.097 --> 0:22:15.777
<v Speaker 1>who is more Republican? We never had those awkward family

0:22:15.817 --> 0:22:18.737
<v Speaker 1>dinners or anything like that, so I never thought it

0:22:18.817 --> 0:22:23.497
<v Speaker 1>was weird to be a Republican. Quite frankly. That being said,

0:22:23.577 --> 0:22:26.657
<v Speaker 1>I know my audience, and Democrats seem to think that

0:22:26.737 --> 0:22:29.817
<v Speaker 1>everyone is their audience. They always assume I'm one of them,

0:22:29.937 --> 0:22:31.977
<v Speaker 1>you know, and I'm not one of them. But in

0:22:32.057 --> 0:22:35.097
<v Speaker 1>any event, anytime I'm walking home from school or I'm

0:22:35.097 --> 0:22:37.177
<v Speaker 1>going to pick up drop off and I run into someone,

0:22:37.537 --> 0:22:39.777
<v Speaker 1>the first thing they say is, I can't believe I

0:22:39.857 --> 0:22:42.217
<v Speaker 1>voted for this person. I don't even care which Republican

0:22:42.297 --> 0:22:45.457
<v Speaker 1>is running, I'm voting for him or her. They are

0:22:45.497 --> 0:22:50.137
<v Speaker 1>completely red pilled. I think there was the death knell

0:22:50.217 --> 0:22:53.097
<v Speaker 1>of CRT critical race theory that really did it for them.

0:22:53.417 --> 0:22:56.977
<v Speaker 1>Plenty of these parents were believe it or not, okay masking,

0:22:57.377 --> 0:23:00.777
<v Speaker 1>they were even okay vaxing. It was really the CRT

0:23:00.897 --> 0:23:04.737
<v Speaker 1>in schools. They just they've had it. They've had it,

0:23:05.057 --> 0:23:08.817
<v Speaker 1>and of course the crime. How can you fix the

0:23:08.937 --> 0:23:11.817
<v Speaker 1>schools the public'sool system. I mean to what we talked

0:23:11.817 --> 0:23:14.177
<v Speaker 1>about before. In New York City. You have all these

0:23:14.217 --> 0:23:16.057
<v Speaker 1>people and I know them and you know them. We

0:23:16.097 --> 0:23:19.577
<v Speaker 1>grew up around them who will defend the public school

0:23:19.697 --> 0:23:23.217
<v Speaker 1>system like their life depends on it. And then you'll

0:23:23.257 --> 0:23:24.577
<v Speaker 1>be like, where do your kids go to school? And

0:23:24.577 --> 0:23:26.657
<v Speaker 1>they're like, well, I can send them to a sixty

0:23:26.697 --> 0:23:30.857
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars year private school obviously. Yeah. Wait, why you

0:23:30.897 --> 0:23:33.137
<v Speaker 1>say the public school system is great, and you love

0:23:33.177 --> 0:23:35.937
<v Speaker 1>teachers unions, but your kids. You know, one of the

0:23:36.177 --> 0:23:38.497
<v Speaker 1>great moments of hypocrisy, if you remember, back to the

0:23:39.377 --> 0:23:43.337
<v Speaker 1>back to the early in the Obama administration, was when

0:23:43.457 --> 0:23:48.057
<v Speaker 1>then President Obama was on board with cutting funding for

0:23:48.337 --> 0:23:51.577
<v Speaker 1>DC charter schools. If you remember this, so all these kids,

0:23:51.577 --> 0:23:55.017
<v Speaker 1>including a lot of minority kids, who were doing phenomenally

0:23:55.057 --> 0:23:58.417
<v Speaker 1>well in publicly funded schools, just with a different approach

0:23:58.457 --> 0:24:02.337
<v Speaker 1>and not as beholden to the teachers unions, etc. He

0:24:02.417 --> 0:24:04.417
<v Speaker 1>was gonna cut funding to them, or you know, he

0:24:04.457 --> 0:24:06.577
<v Speaker 1>was favorable too, I should say, cutting funding to them.

0:24:06.577 --> 0:24:08.217
<v Speaker 1>And this was in the district of Columbia, you know,

0:24:08.297 --> 0:24:12.057
<v Speaker 1>so it's a federal, federal protect it. And his kids

0:24:12.057 --> 0:24:13.697
<v Speaker 1>were going to Sidwell Friends or whatever, which at the

0:24:13.697 --> 0:24:15.897
<v Speaker 1>time was forty five thousand dollars a year. And everybody

0:24:15.937 --> 0:24:18.657
<v Speaker 1>looked at this like, yep, this is this is democrats.

0:24:18.737 --> 0:24:21.217
<v Speaker 1>This is what they do. It's absolutely true in New

0:24:21.257 --> 0:24:24.857
<v Speaker 1>York City. So how do you fix the public school system.

0:24:24.897 --> 0:24:27.017
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you do fix the public school system

0:24:27.057 --> 0:24:30.337
<v Speaker 1>unless you break up the teachers unions. They are completely

0:24:30.657 --> 0:24:34.137
<v Speaker 1>political animals. They donate ninety nine point nine percent of

0:24:34.217 --> 0:24:38.977
<v Speaker 1>the time to Democrats, Democrat candidates or Democrat causes. They

0:24:39.017 --> 0:24:42.497
<v Speaker 1>are They're a pack. I mean, they are a political

0:24:42.857 --> 0:24:47.017
<v Speaker 1>entity and they need to be completely broken up. That's

0:24:47.057 --> 0:24:52.657
<v Speaker 1>the only way you fix public school education. Like even

0:24:52.777 --> 0:24:57.337
<v Speaker 1>on the at the city council level, you know how

0:24:58.057 --> 0:25:00.697
<v Speaker 1>how much of an influence? Well, actually a better question

0:25:00.737 --> 0:25:03.457
<v Speaker 1>would be even for the mayor's race. For example, could

0:25:03.497 --> 0:25:05.417
<v Speaker 1>you be elected mayor of New York City if the

0:25:05.457 --> 0:25:08.657
<v Speaker 1>teachers unions mobilize against you? I mean, realistically, is it possible?

0:25:09.777 --> 0:25:13.057
<v Speaker 1>I I think it is possible. So you know, there

0:25:13.057 --> 0:25:15.937
<v Speaker 1>are fifty one members of City Council creating this body,

0:25:16.097 --> 0:25:20.497
<v Speaker 1>and they basically they have a lot of influence over

0:25:20.537 --> 0:25:23.977
<v Speaker 1>the mayor. The mayor like for example, Mayor Giuliani, he

0:25:24.057 --> 0:25:28.457
<v Speaker 1>knew how to rule the city council. Mayor Adams does not.

0:25:29.177 --> 0:25:33.177
<v Speaker 1>And within the purview of city council is weighing in

0:25:33.497 --> 0:25:36.657
<v Speaker 1>on all local agencies such as the NYPD and the

0:25:36.697 --> 0:25:40.657
<v Speaker 1>Department of Education. So city Council has a big say

0:25:40.697 --> 0:25:44.497
<v Speaker 1>in education and Mayor Adams is ultimately the one presiding

0:25:44.497 --> 0:25:49.417
<v Speaker 1>over it. Again, this educational failure is his. He also

0:25:49.577 --> 0:25:53.137
<v Speaker 1>installed one of the Banks brothers. What is his name,

0:25:53.217 --> 0:25:57.097
<v Speaker 1>David Banks, one of his longtime friends. It's a really

0:25:57.137 --> 0:26:00.377
<v Speaker 1>weird It's kind of like Tammany Hall. You have Philip Banks,

0:26:00.777 --> 0:26:04.457
<v Speaker 1>who is the Deputy mayor. It was like this newly

0:26:04.497 --> 0:26:07.777
<v Speaker 1>created post for him. And then you have Philip. Then

0:26:07.777 --> 0:26:12.297
<v Speaker 1>you have Philip Banks's brother, David Banks, who is now head.

0:26:12.417 --> 0:26:17.417
<v Speaker 1>He's the Chancellor of Education. And all three two Banks

0:26:17.457 --> 0:26:21.097
<v Speaker 1>brothers and Eric Adams go way back. It's a very

0:26:21.177 --> 0:26:28.097
<v Speaker 1>strange relationship. Can I be saying this anyway? It's a

0:26:28.137 --> 0:26:32.937
<v Speaker 1>strange relationship, and one of them is presiding over the

0:26:33.097 --> 0:26:36.857
<v Speaker 1>educational situation that we have and it's a disaster. So

0:26:37.017 --> 0:26:39.937
<v Speaker 1>New York City taxpayers spend the most out of any

0:26:39.977 --> 0:26:42.897
<v Speaker 1>person in the nation, twenty eight thousand dollars per public

0:26:42.937 --> 0:26:46.057
<v Speaker 1>school student annually, and the prize is being in the

0:26:46.057 --> 0:26:49.537
<v Speaker 1>bottom half of the nation for reading and writing. That's

0:26:49.537 --> 0:26:54.737
<v Speaker 1>what we get, twenty eight thousand dollars. That's before you've

0:26:54.777 --> 0:26:59.657
<v Speaker 1>taken any into consideration anything else special meets children, it's

0:26:59.777 --> 0:27:05.697
<v Speaker 1>much more. But yeah, it's amazing because you think about what,

0:27:06.297 --> 0:27:07.977
<v Speaker 1>let's call it thirty grand just to make it a

0:27:08.057 --> 0:27:10.697
<v Speaker 1>round number. If people could pick where they wanted to

0:27:10.697 --> 0:27:13.737
<v Speaker 1>put their dollars of thirty thousand dollars a year for

0:27:13.897 --> 0:27:17.097
<v Speaker 1>purely educational purposes for their kids. What that would do

0:27:17.177 --> 0:27:19.577
<v Speaker 1>to the system, And you know, I've seen it. I

0:27:19.577 --> 0:27:22.697
<v Speaker 1>don't know, do you know. Mike Zernovich really really smart, interesting,

0:27:22.777 --> 0:27:25.337
<v Speaker 1>interesting guy, you know Mike. I mean, he's fiery right,

0:27:25.377 --> 0:27:27.137
<v Speaker 1>like he'll say whatever's on his mind, but he has

0:27:27.177 --> 0:27:29.497
<v Speaker 1>some very interesting thoughts, you know, he tweeted out recently,

0:27:30.137 --> 0:27:33.057
<v Speaker 1>look at what we've done on meaning the country has

0:27:33.097 --> 0:27:38.937
<v Speaker 1>done on constitutional and concealed carry issues, effectively expanding dramatically

0:27:39.337 --> 0:27:41.737
<v Speaker 1>the ability of law. And there was a time not

0:27:41.857 --> 0:27:44.137
<v Speaker 1>long ago, twenty years ago, when that seemed crazy, like,

0:27:44.137 --> 0:27:45.857
<v Speaker 1>oh my gosh, what do you mean, We're just lucky

0:27:45.897 --> 0:27:47.857
<v Speaker 1>they're not taking all of our guns, right, But the

0:27:47.897 --> 0:27:50.177
<v Speaker 1>work is done at the local level. And I think

0:27:50.217 --> 0:27:51.657
<v Speaker 1>that's what's so interesting. That's why one of the reason

0:27:51.697 --> 0:27:54.617
<v Speaker 1>I want to talk to you, because you look at

0:27:54.617 --> 0:27:58.217
<v Speaker 1>things like school choice. School choice that works locally in

0:27:58.297 --> 0:28:02.137
<v Speaker 1>a city in particular, or even in one state, provides

0:28:02.177 --> 0:28:04.377
<v Speaker 1>a model for other places around the country. And this

0:28:04.417 --> 0:28:07.257
<v Speaker 1>is what Rohnda Santis down in Florida is obviously trying

0:28:07.257 --> 0:28:10.417
<v Speaker 1>to do with the schools well with everything, which is

0:28:10.417 --> 0:28:13.137
<v Speaker 1>provide a model of governance that other Republican states can follow.

0:28:13.177 --> 0:28:16.497
<v Speaker 1>I know you can't do that, generally speaking in New

0:28:16.577 --> 0:28:19.457
<v Speaker 1>York because of the political makeup, but it does feel

0:28:19.457 --> 0:28:22.377
<v Speaker 1>like any room to experiment with the New York school

0:28:22.377 --> 0:28:24.737
<v Speaker 1>system that just shows what works and shows how much

0:28:24.817 --> 0:28:28.577
<v Speaker 1>the current system doesn't work could have effect. Right other

0:28:28.617 --> 0:28:31.177
<v Speaker 1>places look at and SAC which is why they hate obviously,

0:28:31.217 --> 0:28:33.537
<v Speaker 1>it's why they hate charter schools, and Harlem Success Academy

0:28:33.577 --> 0:28:36.977
<v Speaker 1>comes under attack from the left, which is insane. I'll

0:28:36.977 --> 0:28:40.257
<v Speaker 1>tell you the truth, though, there's a big issue that

0:28:40.297 --> 0:28:44.177
<v Speaker 1>no one wants to discuss regarding school choice, specifically here

0:28:44.217 --> 0:28:47.257
<v Speaker 1>in New York City, and that is that private schools

0:28:47.537 --> 0:28:51.297
<v Speaker 1>have lost their independence. You have big government, you now

0:28:51.377 --> 0:28:53.937
<v Speaker 1>have big education. The truth of the matter is many

0:28:54.017 --> 0:28:57.457
<v Speaker 1>of these private schools, if you go onto their website,

0:28:57.457 --> 0:29:01.657
<v Speaker 1>they have opted into accreditation and what that means is

0:29:01.697 --> 0:29:06.737
<v Speaker 1>that they are beholden to public school rules. So when

0:29:06.817 --> 0:29:09.857
<v Speaker 1>we talk about school choice, we really need to understand

0:29:10.137 --> 0:29:14.817
<v Speaker 1>this shouldn't be a Republican talking point. There actually has

0:29:14.857 --> 0:29:16.537
<v Speaker 1>to be a choice, and quite frankly, here in New

0:29:16.617 --> 0:29:19.297
<v Speaker 1>York City, there is no choice. Moms. Here are the

0:29:19.377 --> 0:29:21.857
<v Speaker 1>choices for you. You can go to public school, or

0:29:21.897 --> 0:29:24.297
<v Speaker 1>you can spend fifty to sixty thousand on a private

0:29:24.297 --> 0:29:27.017
<v Speaker 1>school and have it at like a public school. Well,

0:29:27.017 --> 0:29:28.977
<v Speaker 1>one thing that I do know is that even my own,

0:29:30.137 --> 0:29:33.457
<v Speaker 1>my own grammar school which I won't name, but people

0:29:33.497 --> 0:29:36.897
<v Speaker 1>could figure it out pretty easily. I talked to people

0:29:36.937 --> 0:29:38.617
<v Speaker 1>recently about it because I got a tour of it,

0:29:38.657 --> 0:29:41.377
<v Speaker 1>and they've spent I walked past the school. This is

0:29:41.417 --> 0:29:43.817
<v Speaker 1>actually kind of funny. I walked past the school during COVID,

0:29:44.457 --> 0:29:46.537
<v Speaker 1>just randomly. I was up on the upperas side visiting

0:29:46.657 --> 0:29:50.777
<v Speaker 1>visiting a friend, and my science teacher from when I

0:29:50.897 --> 0:29:54.457
<v Speaker 1>was a kid just happened. She still teaches there, So

0:29:54.497 --> 0:29:58.337
<v Speaker 1>we're going back like thirty years or something. Now still

0:29:58.377 --> 0:30:01.497
<v Speaker 1>teaches there, and she, which is crazier I think about.

0:30:01.697 --> 0:30:04.537
<v Speaker 1>She says like, Oh, you've got to see this game

0:30:04.537 --> 0:30:07.737
<v Speaker 1>in this whole tour, and it's amazing what they've done.

0:30:07.777 --> 0:30:11.497
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they have spent tens of millions of dollars.

0:30:11.497 --> 0:30:15.097
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I remember we played basketball in the lunch

0:30:15.217 --> 0:30:17.697
<v Speaker 1>room where we also had our school play. I'm not kidding.

0:30:17.777 --> 0:30:21.337
<v Speaker 1>We had one room that was for our gymnasium. They'd

0:30:21.417 --> 0:30:24.177
<v Speaker 1>roll tables out for our lunch, and now they've got

0:30:24.177 --> 0:30:26.577
<v Speaker 1>like an amphitheater. It looks like something out of Harvard.

0:30:26.617 --> 0:30:29.097
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's just crazy. And I was like, wow,

0:30:29.097 --> 0:30:30.457
<v Speaker 1>this would be amazing. And I was like, well, you know,

0:30:30.457 --> 0:30:31.817
<v Speaker 1>I didn't you know, the bank roll would have to

0:30:31.817 --> 0:30:33.257
<v Speaker 1>be pretty big to be able to send my son

0:30:33.297 --> 0:30:34.697
<v Speaker 1>here one day. But I thought about it, and I

0:30:34.737 --> 0:30:36.977
<v Speaker 1>talked to somebody who has a kid there. She's like,

0:30:37.497 --> 0:30:44.537
<v Speaker 1>she's like, it's communists now, woke d ei transagenda. I'm like, transagenda,

0:30:44.617 --> 0:30:48.617
<v Speaker 1>communist stuff. It's sixty k a year yep, for grammar school.

0:30:49.937 --> 0:30:52.297
<v Speaker 1>This is really this is the crux of it. When

0:30:52.297 --> 0:30:54.457
<v Speaker 1>people discuss school choice, there has to be a choice,

0:30:54.457 --> 0:30:57.937
<v Speaker 1>and right now there unfortunately, there really isn't a choice. Also,

0:30:57.977 --> 0:31:00.617
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the schools are the private schools are

0:31:00.657 --> 0:31:03.377
<v Speaker 1>looking to unionize. That will be it, that will be

0:31:03.417 --> 0:31:05.457
<v Speaker 1>the death knell to the private school. I hadn't even

0:31:05.657 --> 0:31:08.937
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't even heard that. Really, that's yeah, little Oh

0:31:09.017 --> 0:31:11.737
<v Speaker 1>I shouldn't. I'm not going to name them, but they're

0:31:12.377 --> 0:31:16.097
<v Speaker 1>quite a few, you know, I just I have to ask.

0:31:16.137 --> 0:31:17.737
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this is I was gonna say, can we

0:31:17.737 --> 0:31:19.857
<v Speaker 1>close on a on a hopeful note here, Jackie. I

0:31:19.857 --> 0:31:22.057
<v Speaker 1>don't know that's really possible today, given what's going on

0:31:22.097 --> 0:31:25.137
<v Speaker 1>with the country. But what keeps you there? You know?

0:31:25.217 --> 0:31:27.337
<v Speaker 1>I mean because because I used I used to talk.

0:31:27.537 --> 0:31:30.497
<v Speaker 1>I was a I'm gonna be here when the last

0:31:30.537 --> 0:31:33.977
<v Speaker 1>skyscraper crumbles and and the and the you know, the

0:31:34.257 --> 0:31:37.057
<v Speaker 1>hammer and sickle is flying over Central Park like I'm

0:31:37.097 --> 0:31:39.377
<v Speaker 1>gonna be here, damn it, I'm not. And then eventually

0:31:39.417 --> 0:31:41.377
<v Speaker 1>during COVID, I was just like you, the people, not

0:31:41.697 --> 0:31:44.257
<v Speaker 1>the administration. I was like the people that live here

0:31:44.257 --> 0:31:47.177
<v Speaker 1>and vote here in Manhattan, not sat N Island, not

0:31:47.257 --> 0:31:50.537
<v Speaker 1>you know, Nassau County in Manhattan are too crazy. I

0:31:50.577 --> 0:31:53.497
<v Speaker 1>can't do this anymore. I'm out. I regretted it one day.

0:31:53.497 --> 0:31:56.097
<v Speaker 1>Since are you thinking about it? Are you there? Are

0:31:56.137 --> 0:31:57.897
<v Speaker 1>you actually in it to win it till the end?

0:31:58.857 --> 0:32:02.337
<v Speaker 1>I'm not. I'm not seating New York City. Wow, look

0:32:02.337 --> 0:32:07.337
<v Speaker 1>at that. No, I'm not not gonna abandon it. I

0:32:07.417 --> 0:32:09.497
<v Speaker 1>really do. I think we can win it back, and

0:32:09.497 --> 0:32:14.857
<v Speaker 1>why should give it to them? I love it so much?

0:32:14.937 --> 0:32:16.697
<v Speaker 1>Like that's the thing. I love New York so much,

0:32:16.777 --> 0:32:19.537
<v Speaker 1>and I just love you know, it makes me so

0:32:19.577 --> 0:32:22.497
<v Speaker 1>sad that that they've done this to that city and

0:32:22.497 --> 0:32:24.457
<v Speaker 1>the people who say, oh, it's really not that bad

0:32:24.497 --> 0:32:27.537
<v Speaker 1>all this stuff, that really is actually, especially when you

0:32:27.617 --> 0:32:30.817
<v Speaker 1>understand when you've lived in another place and you see

0:32:30.857 --> 0:32:35.737
<v Speaker 1>what your tax rate is Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Nevada, you

0:32:35.777 --> 0:32:38.137
<v Speaker 1>know a bunch of them, and then you realize that

0:32:38.217 --> 0:32:40.057
<v Speaker 1>not only are you going through this stuff in New

0:32:40.137 --> 0:32:42.817
<v Speaker 1>York City and paying incredibly high cost of living, the

0:32:42.857 --> 0:32:45.417
<v Speaker 1>highest cost of living really in the country, you are

0:32:45.497 --> 0:32:48.217
<v Speaker 1>paying the city government for the privilege of being there

0:32:48.217 --> 0:32:52.137
<v Speaker 1>and the state government for for them to basically spit

0:32:52.137 --> 0:32:54.377
<v Speaker 1>in your face and act like maniacs and you know,

0:32:54.537 --> 0:32:56.417
<v Speaker 1>suck at everything. I don't know what else to say,

0:32:56.497 --> 0:32:59.177
<v Speaker 1>like it's too much, but you're you're not You're not
