00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 3: crumbling world what it means for you.

Speaker 3: Today I'm joined by Mio Wong, James Stout, and Robert Evans.

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 3: This episode recovering the week of October thirty first to

9
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 3: November fifth, one of the most exciting weeks in politics.

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, because it's onon finite if.

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 3: You remember the poem that's right, And that's not the

12
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 3: only exciting thing to happen, but also not the only

13
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 3: sad thing to happen this week, because as exciting as

14
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 3: election Day was for people in New York, there was

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 3: like a looming sadness throughout the day because earlier that morning, obviously,

16
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 3: Vice President Dick Cheney passed away and that was rough

17
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 3: for many people, not rough many others, but that certainly

18
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 3: was illuming presence over the day. Does anyone have any

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 3: words to say on the passing of mister Cheney.

20
00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just want to let everyone in

21
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,039
Speaker 2: hell know this too shall pass. You know, you won't

22
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: be stuck with him forever. Just try to grin and

23
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 2: bear it. I know it's going to be hard for

24
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,760
Speaker 2: a lot of you, especially Saddam Hussein, but I know

25
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: you can get past this. You know, he will get

26
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 2: reincarnated as a Senate Republican staffer within the next six

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 2: to eight months, so so you won't have to put

28
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: up with him long.

29
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 5: I guess this is also just your reminder that it's

30
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 5: going to date to practice see full essential rooms of

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 5: firearms safety at old times.

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: Don't shoot with Dick Cheney if you see Dick Cheney

33
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 2: while you're hunting quail?

34
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 6: Right?

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,040
Speaker 4: Do the kids even know about this?

36
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 6: Now? Oh?

37
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 4: The kid the kids know? The kids? No?

38
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is.

39
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 3: Cheney Laura is permeated throughout generations of American culture.

40
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 5: Yeah.

41
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 7: When I was a kid, there was like a whole

42
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 7: thing where we all thought the song Jamie's Got a

43
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 7: Gun was Cheney's Got a gun.

44
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 4: In front of excess.

45
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 5: Because it just lined up with everything you knew about

46
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 5: the world.

47
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: What's funny about it is that my actual thinking on

48
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 2: that shooting hasn't changed since I was a Republican kid.

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: Like when I was a young right winger, I thought, Wow,

50
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: Dick Cheney's so cool. He shot a man and got

51
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 2: him to apologize to him, And now as an adult

52
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 2: on the left, I still think that's kind of the

53
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 2: coolest thing Dick.

54
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 5: Cheney ever did. Like it is a head of a feat.

55
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 2: That man apologized for getting in front of his sights.

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: That's amazing.

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 4: Now it is.

58
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 3: It is unfortunate that Dick Cheney did not live to

59
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:58,679
Speaker 3: see the election of Zormumdani as the mayor of New

60
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: York City, which happened, and that would have been funny

61
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 3: on Tuesday. Later that day, Zoran has become the first

62
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 3: candidate in New York mayoral history to win over a

63
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 3: million votes since nineteen sixty nine. Nice this election itself

64
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 3: saw over two million votes. This is a million more

65
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:20,000
Speaker 3: votes in the last in New York mayoral election.

66
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: Huge turnout.

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 3: Currently, as of Wednesday afternoon, Zoran has fifty point four

68
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 3: percent of the vote. Former governor and sexual assaults enthusiast

69
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 3: Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent, has forty one point

70
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: six percent, and the bray wearing Curtisilwa as seven point one.

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 3: Not a spoiler candidate in many ways, nor would it

72
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 3: be correct to say that all of Silver's votes would

73
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 3: have gone to one candidate or another. But even if

74
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: you do add all of his votes on to disgraced

75
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 3: former Governor Andrew Cuomo's total zoron still comes out on

76
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 3: top well.

77
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: Which was something that there was legitimately a lot of

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: question about as to like whether or not will Sila

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: staying in matter?

80
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 3: Right?

81
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 2: Uh, And it's it's a really good sign that it didn't.

82
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 3: It did not Sliwa. So no one really knows how

83
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,279
Speaker 3: to pronounce the name, including in the city. You hear

84
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 3: it different pronunciations with different people at different times. Sometimes

85
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 3: it's Slilwa, sometimes it's Silwa saliwa.

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 2: All I know is he got stabbed on the subway, right.

87
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 4: And shot five times in the back of a cab

88
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 4: in the back. That's right. How did they fail to

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 4: kill him? Jesus Christ.

90
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: It's harder to kill people by shooting them with a

91
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: handgun than you might think.

92
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, apparently hanggum ballistics are just different.

93
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 4: Yes, and he does have seventeen cats.

94
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 3: He ran on the Republican and the Protected the Protect

95
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 3: Animals party. You can have some criticism for for past

96
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 3: ills that that he has contributed to, but he is

97
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: certainly mixed up for that some way.

98
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 4: For being a fascinating character.

99
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 2: He's a very New York kind of figure.

100
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 6: Ed.

101
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,440
Speaker 3: He was the only mayor all candidate to call and

102
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: congratulate Zora Mom Donnie last night. Both Clobo and Mayor

103
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 3: Adams did not call Mamdani, but Curtis did, which is

104
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 3: kind of beautiful. It's kind of beautiful.

105
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 2: He's a classy man. You don't get to wear a

106
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: red beret like that unless you have some manners.

107
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 5: The British Parachute Regiment would beg to disagree about having

108
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: nanas and wearing red hats.

109
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: No, he's my head cannon now is that he is

110
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: the British paratrooper.

111
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 5: Just drop him in with seventeen cats and he and

112
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 5: he starts milling immediately.

113
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, he saves that fucking mall in Nairobi.

114
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 5: Or tell you what, the Argentines wouldn't have funcked with

115
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 5: the Falklands of Curtis and being there now with all

116
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: those cats. That's where he's going now that he's been

117
00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 5: banished in New York like piss.

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: Guys, shouldn't take this just.

119
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:08,039
Speaker 4: An island, Yeah, Staten Island, which.

120
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 2: You're you're a real New Yorker now Gary, you shed

121
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: on Staten.

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,839
Speaker 3: Island, which is the only borough that went for Cuomo,

123
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: where he was up thirty three points.

124
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 5: That was very funny.

125
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,240
Speaker 3: Mamdani won every other bureau up twenty in Brooklyn, up

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 3: ten in Manhattan, of five in Queens and eleven in

127
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 3: the Bronx.

128
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 2: From what this should tell everyone everywhere in the country

129
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 2: about what is possible in politics, even in times as

130
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 2: dark as this is that he was what eight percent

131
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:36,320
Speaker 2: a year ago?

132
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 3: They six percent, it's like in January, six percent in January.

133
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 2: And he he didn't just eke it out because there

134
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 2: were a shitload of guys. This isn't like an Arnold

135
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 2: thing where everybody's on the fucking ballot and it's like

136
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 2: a crazy cartoon election. He legitimately votes nowhere and one.

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,719
Speaker 3: The most votes for a mayor old candidate in almost

138
00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 3: fifty years. Yeah, nearly reaching the the like the vote

139
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 3: totals in this election for like a presidential election in

140
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 3: the city.

141
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very impressive for like a mid cycle off

142
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 5: cycle election turnout wise, yep.

143
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 3: Specifically, he won a whole bunch of votes that he

144
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 3: did not gain the primary. Among uh, some like black

145
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 3: and Latino voters. You can see that in the turnout

146
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 3: at like the Bronx.

147
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 2: And these these people aren't overwhelmingly at least at this stage,

148
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 2: folks who have been convinced of every aspect of ideology

149
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: that Zorn has ever put out there. People who looked

150
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,680
Speaker 2: at who was available are like, this guy seems like

151
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 2: he genuinely wants to do something. Yeah, and they told

152
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: me to the specific policies. They're not they're not paying

153
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 2: attention to the fact that he quoted Eugene V. Debs.

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 2: They're talking, they're listening to his his policies on like

155
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: creating municipal grocery stores and stuff.

156
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 3: Right, it's about affordability, not ideology. And Zorn's strict focus

157
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 3: on affordability not running a campaign that like falls back

158
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 3: on fear, not running a campaign about foreign policy when

159
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 3: you're in fucking New York City. Strict focus on affordability

160
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: was the key to winning this campaign.

161
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 2: A strict focus on affordability while not pretending not to

162
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:12,400

Speaker 2: talking around it, right.

165
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 3: No, he's not apologizing or hiding the fact that he's

166
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: a democratic socialist. Yeah, and this produced some super interesting

167
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 3: results if you if you refer back to the last

168
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 3: election twenty twenty four and in everyone bemoaning like, how

169
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 3: how come young men are so politically lost? Why are

170
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 3: they all going so far to the right? Sixty eight

171
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 3: percent of men age eighteen to twenty nine goes to mom, Donnie,

Speaker 7: Donnie Booking said, dom number larious bath party election numbers one.

176
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,200
Speaker 2: Actually Saddam Hussein out to Creedy did in fact vote,

177
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: but he went for He broke hard for Cuomo. Honestly

178
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 2: at the end, it was the sex crimes that that

179
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 2: that that did it for UNI did vote for Slowa

180
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: though that was kind of weird. I'm gonna be honest

181
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: with you. We're all trying to parse that one out.

182
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: It's a cat thing.

183
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, like not hiding his political inspirations

184
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 3: in any way, quoted Eugen Debs ten seconds into his

185
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: victory speech. Yeah, immediately you understand, like, oh, this guy's

186
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: like player, he knows what's up.

187
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 2: Eugene V. Debs, the socialist who ran for president from prison. Yeah, yes,

188
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,199
Speaker 2: for to know who Eugene V. Debs is, like arguably

189
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 2: the most radical national candidate who has ever existed in

190
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: this country.

191
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, and his speech was extremely poetic. It got a

192
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 3: very strong positive reaction from the people who I watched

193
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 3: this with in Bushwick, which was the district that was

194
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 3: the most pro Mamdani out of the entire electoral mathemicity.

195
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 3: But he started by talking about how power has been

196
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: kept out of the hands of working people by the

197
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 3: hands that keep the city going by lifting boxes, by

198
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 3: gripping the handlebars of delivery bikes, and collecting burned scars

199
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 3: from cooking food.

200
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 4: Quote.

201
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 3: Over the last twelve months, you have dared to reach

202
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 3: for something greater tonight, against all odds, we have grasped it.

203
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,800
Speaker 3: The future is in our hands unquote. The whole speech

204
00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: was kind of a rife with little like metaphors and

205
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 3: allegories like that.

206
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 4: It was very cute.

207
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: Went on to discuss how the campaign toppled a political

208
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 3: dynasty and gave one of the most like fine tuned

209
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:47,439
Speaker 3: dishes I've ever seen quote, I wish Andrew Cuomo only

210
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,679
Speaker 3: the best in private life.

211
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:52,439
Speaker 4: It's a phenomenal cook.

212
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: But I hope I never have to say his name.

213
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 4: Again, or but let tonight be the last time I

214
00:10:58,360 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: utter his name.

215
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 3: Only the best in private life is down.

216
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean it's basically this is like, he's

217
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 2: not the originator of this particular kind of disc It

218
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 2: goes back a while, but the gist is like everyone's

219
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 2: moment be a family man, get out of a way.

220
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

221
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 3: Repeatedly, Mam, Donnie has has used the word mandate to

222
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 3: describe this selection and the results.

223
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 4: Quote.

224
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 3: New York has delivered a mandate for change, a mandate

225
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 3: for a new kind of politics, mandate for a city

226
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,400
Speaker 3: we can afford, a mandate for a government that delivers

227
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 3: exactly that. I'm going to play a short clip here.

228
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 6: Thank you to the next generation of New Yorkers who

229
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 6: refused to accept that the promise of a better future

230
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 6: was a relic of the past. You showed that when

231
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 6: politics speaks to you without condescension, we can usher in

232
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 6: a new era of leadership. We will fight for you

233
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 6: because we are you, or as we say on Steinway

234
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 6: an amincom wile.

235
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 2: Coum the Arabic there wild wild that we've moved this

236
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: far in New York that it's in credit wins you

237
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: an election Like that didn't win him the election, but

238
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 2: like they really tried the nine to eleven shit. Rudy

239
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: Giuliani posted today a crude photoshop of his own face

240
00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 2: in the fires of the twin of the burning twin towers. Yeah,

241
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 2: we forgot written across it, and that did None of

242
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 2: that shit did anything.

243
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 3: The last month of the campaign against Mamdani, whether that's

244
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 3: from people like Bill Accurate as Bloomberg or Cuomo's actual team,

245
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: has has used what people have been calling the nine

246
00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 3: to eleven card, incessantly playing clips of nine to eleven

247
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:00,440
Speaker 3: with like zoron like emblazon, like over overtop plank from

248
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: Hassan talking about nine to eleven. But the Islamophobia that

249
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: the Cuomo campaign has resorted to as a last ditch

250
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 3: effort to stop Mamdani has been despicable, And the fact

251
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: that this did not scare Momdanni into like hiding or

252
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 3: like restricting that part of himself is incredibly admirable.

253
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they wasn't just nine to eleven, right, like

254
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 5: you said, it was the broad Islam, like they deployed

255
00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 5: as they always do, like every urban area in Britain

256
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 5: is now like the Caliphate, like this bullshit that that

257
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,000
Speaker 5: exists only in the American conservative mind and it failed,

258
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:33,439
Speaker 5: which is.

259
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 3: Good specifically for a lot of the speech, it was

260
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 3: about juxtaposing like how we used to have good things

261
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 3: in the past, like we have this idea that like

262
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 3: good things now are always out of reach, and juxtaposing

263
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: this like idea of like hope or or like past

264
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 3: exceptionalism that we just don't feel like we've access to anymore,

265
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 3: and showing that if you actually involve young people, we

266
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 3: can actually do do good things in our city now.

267
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 3: And I really liked the line about like politics that

268
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 3: speaks to you without condescension, and how much this campaign

269
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 3: was like ran by and for you know, young candidates

270
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 3: and young voters.

271
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 6: Sorry.

272
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 3: Went on to thank the people who have been forgotten

273
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 3: by the politics of our city and how they've supported

274
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 3: his campaign quote Yemeni bodega owners and Mexican ubuelas, Sengalese

275
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: taxi drivers and Uzbek nurses, Trinidadian line cooks, and Ethiopian

276
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,760
Speaker 3: aunties unquote, and he went on to mention the kind

277
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 3: of people that this campaign is about, and towards the

278
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: end of that section, he talked about the hunger strike

279
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 3: that he participated in four years ago in order to

280
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 3: win debt relief for cab drivers, And it's about people.

281
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 6: Like Richard the taxi driver I went on a fifteen

282
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 6: day hunger strike with outside of city hall, who still

283
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 6: has to drive his cab seven.

284
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 7: Days a week.

285
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:01,400
Speaker 4: My brother, we are in city hall.

286
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: Now.

287
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 3: That is that is the energy of like the campaign

288
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: in the city right now. Like that that sort of framing,

289
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:14,360
Speaker 3: and that's the energy that people are like carrying.

290
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 2: Through I saw among the right wing fever spawns responses

291
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: to this, Mike Cernovich taking a clip from the election

292
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 2: night party where one of the people who is attending

293
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 2: Zoran's party made a comment about how like white people

294
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 2: need to get on board with the idea that like

295
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: our culture is multiculturalism in this country right, Like it's

296
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 2: it's not anything else, Like that's that's like what has

297
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 2: made America. And Mike did not react well to that.

298
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: I can't imagine the declaration of wars and Avich mad, Yeah.

299
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 3: But no, like especially in New York, out of like

300
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: anywhere in the country, like, especially in New York like,

301
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 3: the culture is made through the mix of immigrants that

302
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: have built this city, and this is something that discussed throughout.

303
00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 3: Zaran went on to thank the one hundred thousand campaign

304
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 3: volunteers and specifically how their efforts quote eroded the cynicism

305
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 3: that has come to define our politics.

306
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 4: I liked that line, and.

307
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 3: Then he asked New Yorkers to breathe this moment in quote.

308
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: We have held our breath for longer than we know.

309
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 3: We have held it in anticipation of defeat, held it

310
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 3: because the air has been knocked out of our lungs

311
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 3: too many times to count, held it because we cannot

312
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 3: afford to exhale. Thanks to all of those who have

313
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:30,320
Speaker 3: sacrificed so much, we are breathing in the air of

314
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 3: facity that has been reborn. There are many who thought

315
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 3: this day would never come, who feared we would be

316
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 3: condemned only to a future of less, with every election

317
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 3: consigning us to simply more of the same. And there

318
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 3: are others who see politics today as too cruel for

319
00:16:46,200 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 3: the flame of hope to still burn New York. We

320
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 3: have answered those fears unquote.

321
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 6: And while we cast our ballots alone. We chose hope together,

322
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 6: hope over tyranny, hope over big money and small ideas,

323
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 6: hope over despair. We won because New Yorkers allowed themselves

324
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 6: to hope that the impossible could be made possible. And

325
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 6: we won because we insisted that no longer would politics

326
00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 6: be something that is done to us. Now it is

327
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 6: something that we do. Standing before you, I think of

328
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 6: the words of Juan lal Nehru. A moment comes but

329
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: rarely in history, when we step out from the old

330
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 6: to the new, when an age ends, and when the

331
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:57,080
Speaker 6: soul of a nation long suppressed finds utterance. Tonight we

332
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 6: have stepped out from the old into the new.

333
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 3: The line about politics not being something that's done to you, yeah, yeah,

334
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 3: that really outlines how politics has felt in this country

335
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 3: for as basically as long as I can remember. He

336
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: then outlined what his central agenda to tackle the cost

337
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 3: of living crisis is, including freezing the rent for more

338
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: than two million rits, timbolized tenants, making buses faster and free,

339
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 3: and delivering universal childcare across the city, saying quote, this

340
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 3: will be an age where New Yorkers expect from their

341
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 3: leaders a bold vision of what we will achieve, rather

342
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,680
Speaker 3: than a list of excuses for what we are too

343
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 3: timid to attempt. Let's go on a quick break and

344
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,040
Speaker 3: we will come back to talk a little bit more.

345
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 4: About the election.

346
00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 5: All right, we're back.

347
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 3: During the second half of this speech, Zoron turned to

348
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 3: address Donald Trump. Right this looming thing across politics nationwide,

349
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: but specifically New York, as Trump has threatened to start

350
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 3: to fuck with New York even more if Zoron is

351
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 3: elected and people in New York know this. And about

352
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 3: halfway through, Zoron addressed Trump directly, which we will get

353
00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 3: to you in a sec But before he directly talked

354
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 3: to Trump, in this speech, Zoron laid out what types

355
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 3: of people the city government will be focusing on protecting

356
00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,960
Speaker 3: from Trump's division and hate.

357
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 6: In this new age we make for ourselves, we will

358
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 6: refuse to allow those who traffic in division and hate

359
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:51,399
Speaker 6: to pit us against one another in this moment of

360
00:19:51,440 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 6: political darkness. New York will be the light here leave

361
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 6: in standing up for those we love. Whether you are

362
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 6: an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of

363
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 6: the many black women that Donald Trump is fired from

364
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 6: a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the

365
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:24,240
Speaker 6: cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with

366
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 6: their back against the wall. Your struggle is ours two.

367
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 3: Specifically, I like this idea of in the darkened political moment,

368
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 3: this United States is in New York and the Zorn

369
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,760
Speaker 3: administration and how that reflects New York and general though

370
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:46,280
Speaker 3: will be a beacon for the rest of the country.

371
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:50,119
Speaker 3: And naming like the trans community is like the second

372
00:20:50,560 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 3: group mentioned there was heavily appreciated in the Bushwick Trans

373
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 3: Watch party that.

374
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: I was at.

375
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 3: Zorah went on to say that quote, no more will

376
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:02,720
Speaker 3: New York be a city where you can traffic in

377
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 3: Islamophobia and win an election. This new age will be

378
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 3: defined by a competence and a compassion that have too

379
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 3: long been placed in odds with one another. We will

380
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 3: prove that there is no problem too large for government

381
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,199
Speaker 3: to solve and no concern too small for it to

382
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 3: care about. Tens of millions of dollars have been spent

383
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 3: to redefine reality and to convince our neighbors that this

384
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: new age is something that should frighten them. As has

385
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 3: often occurred, the billionaire class has sought to convince those

386
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 3: making thirty dollars an hour, that their enemies are those

387
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 3: earning twenty dollars an hour. They want the people to

388
00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:37,199
Speaker 3: fight amongst ourselves so that we remain distracted from the

389
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 3: work of remaking along broken system. Together, we will usher

390
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 3: in a generation of change. And if we embrace this

391
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 3: brave new course, rather than fleeing from it, we can

392
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 3: respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears,

393
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 3: not the appeasement it craves.

394
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 7: I think this whole section is something very important, and

395
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 7: this has been something that's been very consistent about Donnie's

396
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 7: entire campaign, which is there's been on the left for

397
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 7: a very very long time, a just interminable, intractable conflict

398
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 7: between this idea of like purely focusing on class politics

399
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 7: or talking about race. And but I think what Montdammi

400
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 7: is doing here ha's been very effective, right, is you

401
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 7: can just do both. And in fact, as the left

402
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 7: over the last you know, sort of senses kind of

403
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 7: the reemergence of this kind of left in like twenty fifteen,

404
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 7: twenty sixteen, as it's gone on, it's gotten less white,

405
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 7: it's gotten more to verse, has gotten more multicultural, and

406
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 7: it's been able to fuse these two things together, and

407
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 7: it's been able to fuse that with just you know,

408
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 7: like being very very openly pro trans and like there

409
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 7: was you know, there's also a pretty big response that

410
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 7: I saw from people talking about the fact that he

411
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 7: specifically mentioned that it was black women who were being

412
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 7: fired by the Trump administration. Right, And you can just

413
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 7: do all these things together and it works, and it's

414
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 7: worked the whole time. And refusing to pit these things

415
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 7: against each other, like refusing to pit affordability against trans rights,

416
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 7: refusing to pit yes, yeah, you know, like fusing to

417
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:06,960
Speaker 7: pit the politics of like defending and this is some

418
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 7: thing that like fucking Bernie is terrible at, right, where

419
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 7: like Bernie like has been like has a whole rant

420
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 7: about how Trump has been right on like we have

421
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 7: to reduce immigration, right, and you don't have to do that.

422
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 7: You can be pro immigrant, you can be protraned, you

423
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 7: can be pro black women, you can be you know,

424
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,640
Speaker 7: and and you can also want everything to cost less,

425
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 7: and you can be in favor of the fact that

426
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 7: the US is a is a multicultural society and can

427
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 7: only function as one. And it's it's a winning form

428
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 7: of politics. And I'm glad we're finally getting there.

429
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:40,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it will be great if this New York

430
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,400
Speaker 3: City as a beacon can actually shine and not get

431
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 3: rectifled out in.

432
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 4: These in these next four years.

433
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,919
Speaker 3: Because Zorn is, unless unless things happen, will be the

434
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 3: mayor for the remainder of the Trump term, right like

435
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,879
Speaker 3: this is he will be mayor after second Trump administration

436
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 3: is over, barring any unfortunate incident.

437
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 4: Make sure your private security is really good.

438
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 5: Way whoever ypd detail get your own guys. Yeah, it'll

439
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 5: be fine. But it also it means like like from

440
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 5: I guess a national perspective, it is likely that mom

441
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 5: Danny will become like the enemy number one of the

442
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:30,719
Speaker 5: Trump administration, where they probably Newsome or prish Karan now right,

443
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:35,439
Speaker 5: like it's it is easier because of the obvious bigotry

444
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 5: that underlies a lot of the Republican Party to go

445
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:40,760
Speaker 5: after a brown dude. Yes, and that is what they

446
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 5: are going to do. And they're going to use.

447
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 4: Brown democratic socialists.

448
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, who stands up for trans people and migrants. And

449
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,600
Speaker 5: likely you saw how acceptable islamophobia is in Cuomo's campaign, right,

450
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:55,199
Speaker 5: like you just go on to every mainstream network and

451
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 5: say shit, that it is fucking disgusting. Yeah, and so

452
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 5: we should prepare our sales for four more years of that,

453
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 5: I guess. And I think he does a very good

454
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 5: job of repudiating that, and obviously the electorate in New

455
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 5: York did too. But that is going to be what

456
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 5: we are going to see as a result of this.

457
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 8: Well.

458
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 3: No, and like so much of the resistance to Zoron

459
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: came from this idea that if he wins, that means

460
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: that this is going to be what people point to

461
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 3: as a future for politics, specifically democratic politics, And a

462
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 3: lot of people wanted to stop him because they knew

463
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 3: that's going to happen. If he is in control of

464
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 3: the biggest city in the country as the Democratic mayor,

465
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 3: that's going to be influential for what democratic politics will

466
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 3: be after they got completely clobbered last year. And he's

467
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 3: showing that a different type of politics is possible, even

468
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 3: even within the Democratic Party. And that's that's true, like

469
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:47,719
Speaker 3: altering what the party is fundamentally, Yeah, and I think

470
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 3: it's it is. It is a cool little side note

471
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 3: that Zoron voted for himself on the Working Families party

472
00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: line and in fact not the Democratic Party line. Becau's

473
00:25:57,040 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 3: called the New York mayoral ballot's work. I'm gonna pay

474
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 3: one more clip from the speech of Zorn, specifically addressing Trump.

475
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 3: It's going to be a teeny bit longer, and I

476
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,639
Speaker 3: think we'll cut We'll shorten some of the applause bits

477
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 3: because some of the applause sections gone for quite long.

478
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 4: But this will be the last club.

479
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 6: After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by

480
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 6: Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city

481
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:32,880
Speaker 6: that gave rise to him. And if there is any

482
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 6: way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the

483
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:41,959
Speaker 6: very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power. This is

484
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 6: not only how we stopped Trump, it's how we stop

485
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,480
Speaker 6: the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you're watching,

486
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 6: I have four words for you. Turn the volume up.

487
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 6: We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald

488
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 6: Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking

489
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 6: advantage of their tenants.

490
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 4: We will put an end to.

491
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 6: The culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump

492
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 6: to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. We will stand

493
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 6: alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know, just

494
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 6: as Donald Trump does that when working people have ironclad rights,

495
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 6: the bosses who seek to extort them become very small. Indeed,

496
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 6: New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city

497
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 6: built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight,

498
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 6: led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump, when

499
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 6: I say this, to get to any of.

500
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 7: Us, you will have to get through all of us.

501
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 4: The ship rocks.

502
00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 5: It's good, it's good.

503
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's pretty cool for a mayor

504
00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 4: alection to.

505
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 5: Say that he didn't manage to get in the New

506
00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 5: York is the anchora of America, which I was hoping

507
00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 5: for them.

508
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,400
Speaker 2: Otherwise, great, that's Eric Adams this bit.

509
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, sad day for sad day for Turkey today.

510
00:28:23,960 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 7: I guess on an actually important note, I think it

511
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 7: is really important that you know, all of this energy

512
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 7: against Trump, right and against all the shit that he's

513
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 7: doing that's so hideously unpopular, it's starting to be channeled

514
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 7: into politics that can actually defeat him. Yeah, and that

515
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,600
Speaker 7: are actually good, you know, and that he's talking about

516
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 7: specifically the fact that you have to deshoy the conditions

517
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:43,720
Speaker 7: that created it and so they don't create the next

518
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 7: one like this fucking rocks.

519
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: This is good.

520
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 5: Yeah. For so long, like for I mean most of

521
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 5: the twenty sixteen to twenty twenty period and for a

522
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 5: lot of this year, we've seen so many people turn

523
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,000
Speaker 5: the obvious disgust that people have a what Trump is

524
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,719
Speaker 5: doing into grifts into some reporting of politics which fundamentally

525
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 5: allowed for the conditions we are in now, right, And

526
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,719
Speaker 5: to see someone repudiate that and to see more than

527
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 5: a million people turn out to support that is fantastic.

528
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 5: Like it's genuinely hopeful.

529
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:15,160
Speaker 3: It's something like zoronas like acknowledge. It's like this is

530
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: not like the end, right, this is a means, not

531
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 3: the means either, Like this is this this is a

532
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 3: means to an end. And this whole campaign started, as

533
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 3: he's referred to it as a quote unquote electoral project

534
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 3: by the New York City DSA, Like this was largely

535
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 3: an experiment and an experiment that grew wildly, wildly kind

536
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 3: of out of what I assumed they kind of saw

537
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: it as in the earlier in the earlier days, and

538
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:45,160
Speaker 3: now they're in this like moment and they have to

539
00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 3: they have to keep rolling with it. But it is

540
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 3: it is an experiment for a a version of doing this,

541
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 3: and he knows this is not like the only method

542
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: or tactic to be utilized, but as as an experiment,

543
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 3: I think it's so far pretty well done now, as

544
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 3: is on closest speech by calling to chart a new

545
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 3: path as bold as the campaign has already been, saying

546
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 3: that conventional wisdom would claim that he is far from

547
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,480
Speaker 3: the perfect candidate. Quote, I'm young, despite my best efforts

548
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 3: to grow older. I am Muslim, I am a democratic socialist,

549
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:18,760
Speaker 3: and the most stabbing of all. I refuse to apologize

550
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:21,400
Speaker 3: for any of this. And yet if tonight teaches us anything,

551
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 3: it is that convention has held us back. We have

552
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 3: bowed at the altar of caution. We have paid a

553
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:32,719
Speaker 3: mighty price. Too many working people cannot recognize themselves in

554
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 3: our party, and too many among us have turned to

555
00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 3: the right for answers to why they've been left behind.

556
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,480
Speaker 3: We will leave mediocrity in our past. No longer will

557
00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,239
Speaker 3: we have to open a history book for proof that

558
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 3: Democrats can dare to be great. Our greatness will be

559
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 3: anything but abstract unquote, and he concludes by saying that

560
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 3: the greatness will be felt by rent stable ie tenants

561
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 3: who will wake up knowing they are rent hasn't sword

562
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,640
Speaker 3: by grandparents who can afford to stay in their home

563
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 3: and whose grandchildren live nearby because the cost of childcare

564
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,400
Speaker 3: is not driving them out of the city, And by

565
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: the single mothers who don't need to rush their kids

566
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,520
Speaker 3: to school because they can commute to work on a

567
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:15,120
Speaker 3: fast bus.

568
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 4: Quote.

569
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,040
Speaker 3: Most of all, it will be felt by each New

570
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 3: Yorker when the city they love finally loves them back unquote.

571
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 3: The stuff about like worshiping at the altar of caution

572
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 3: for like the past, the past like twenty more than twenty,

573
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 3: but especially the past like twenty years of like Democrat politics,

574
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 3: and how he is also recognizing that like this is

575
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,640
Speaker 3: this could mark a fundamental shift in what the Democratic

576
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 3: Party actually is because the people Democrats included, who've been

577
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 3: trying to stop this have failed miserably so far, putting

578
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 3: tens of millions of dollars into a campaign to try

579
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 3: to crush crush this version of what the future of

580
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:59,200
Speaker 3: New York Democrat politics is, and more people since nineteen

581
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 3: sixty nine showed up to deny that future. That's all

582
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 3: I have for Zoran right now, it's literally, you know

583
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 3: less than twenty four hours after the Yeah, but this

584
00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 3: was not just a New York City mayoral election.

585
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 4: There were there were other races, including other other things.

586
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 4: In New York.

587
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: There was a Prop one amendment to the state Constitution

588
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 3: to retroactively authorize the winter sports facilities on Mount then Hovenburg,

589
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 3: which is protected forestland and would require the state at

590
00:32:29,160 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 3: two thousand, five hundred acres of newly protected land elsewhere

591
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 3: in the ad Ranak that's how I'm saying it at

592
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 3: Irondack Mountains. Yeah, which was passed, and this allows them

593
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 3: to continue to build and maintain the winter sports facility.

594
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: Propositions two through six were New York City Charter Amendments.

595
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,040
Speaker 3: Two to four were housing reform proposals to fast track

596
00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 3: the approval process for affordable housing and simplify zoning reviews

597
00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 3: and establish an Affordable Housing Appeals Board.

598
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 4: All of the passed.

599
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,000
Speaker 3: These will limit the ability of the City Council to

600
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 3: control and slow down housing development and empower the mayor

601
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 3: specifically to build more affordable units faster. And Prop five,

602
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 3: which also passed, creates a new digital methnic city. The

603
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 3: only prop to fail, which was Number six, was to

604
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 3: move local elections to be in line with presidential elections

605
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:23,719
Speaker 3: on that four year basis. Basically, the ballot that Zorn

606
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,880
Speaker 3: filled out himself was the one that passed for all

607
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: of these, all of these proposals.

608
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you get. They call it a coattails effect in

609
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 5: political science, right, like the idea that the.

610
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 4: People announced his ballot that morning. He did not.

611
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 3: He he didn't, and he didn't even announce it like

612
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,360
Speaker 3: a journalist asked him what he was voting on. He

613
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,760
Speaker 3: specifically did not advocate for any of these or or

614
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 3: try to dissuade anyone from any of these before the election.

615
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure. But you get a generally aligned politically electorate, right,

616
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 5: a relatively progressive in American terms, electorate coming out to

617
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 5: vote for him, who will look at these things and

618
00:34:00,960 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 5: say that seems to make sense with the way I

619
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 5: see the round.

620
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 4: Absolutely.

621
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 3: Democrat Abigail Spenberger won the governor of Virginia flipping blue.

622
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,040
Speaker 3: Jay Jones, a Democrat candidate for Virginia AG also beat

623
00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 3: the Republican incumbent. This was after a month of attacks

624
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 3: for a series of text messages from twenty twenty two

625
00:34:20,360 --> 00:34:24,959
Speaker 3: where j Jones said that if certain Republican delegates died,

626
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 3: he would quote go to their funerals to piss on

627
00:34:27,920 --> 00:34:31,560
Speaker 3: their graves unquote, and wish for the hypothetical deaths of

628
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:35,920
Speaker 3: Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert's children quote only would people

629
00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 3: feel pain personally?

630
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 4: Do they move on policy?

631
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,240
Speaker 3: I mean, do I think Todd and Jennifer are evil

632
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 3: and that they're breeding little fascists?

633
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 6: Yes?

634
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 4: Unquote.

635
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 7: That's also not really hipathetical deaths like he did in

636
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:54,279
Speaker 7: a call with a with another Republican politician.

637
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,359
Speaker 3: Then after the call, they continued texting about it. So

638
00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 3: the proof is in these texts, and he is admitted this,

639
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,160
Speaker 3: and basically he was like, Yeah, if these people's like

640
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 3: children were to get killed in mass shooting, maybe their

641
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:07,760
Speaker 3: opinions on guns would change.

642
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 4: That's essentially what he's expressing there.

643
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 5: Yeah.

644
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,520
Speaker 4: And then he also he also was.

645
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 3: Quoted in these leads text messages as saying, quote, three people,

646
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:25,520
Speaker 3: two bullets, Virginia Huse Speaker Todd Gilbert Hitler, and Paul

647
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,240
Speaker 3: Pott Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.

648
00:35:28,480 --> 00:35:30,840
Speaker 4: Spoiler put Gilbert in the crew.

649
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 5: With sorry, just as an elected official, as an attorney general,

650
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:41,319
Speaker 5: someone going to be a call that you put in

651
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 5: the fucking text message spoiler.

652
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 3: Put Gilberts in the crew with the two worst people

653
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 3: you know, and he receives both bullets every time. It's insane,

654
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:57,080
Speaker 3: up sec hero, But that is the new attorney general.

655
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 3: That's a new Democrat Attorney general of Virginia who the

656
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,799
Speaker 3: right has been attacking for quite for relentlessly the past month,

657
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:07,319
Speaker 3: because you really fucked up.

658
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 5: If you can't like, no, if you can't run attacks

659
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,680
Speaker 5: on that guy, and you still.

660
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 7: All of those jokes about the wine moms in the suburbs,

661
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 7: like wanting blood and like there looking at this Oh no,

662
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 7: hell yeah, yeah, give me four ward bullets will put

663
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:23,839
Speaker 7: in this guy.

664
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 4: It's pretty crazy. It's it's it's pretty astonishing.

665
00:36:28,400 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 3: Maine voted no sixty three percent on a voter restriction measure.

666
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 3: Voters extended the Democrat Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and the California

667
00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 3: Redistricting Measure or Proposition passed with sixty three point eight percent.

668
00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 4: James, Yeah, do you have stuff on this?

669
00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:46,040
Speaker 2: Yeah?

670
00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 5: So Prop fifty in California, California, it was like a

671
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 5: one issue ballot, right, you said the Prop fifty this

672
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 5: would temporarily redistrict I think people maybe have not been

673
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 5: like like often it gets missed, and it is temporarily

674
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:05,239
Speaker 5: redistricting California until re establishing the non partisan committee that

675
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 5: does districting in twenty thirty one. For the twenty thirty

676
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,160
Speaker 5: two those districts will come back, or that they will

677
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:14,200
Speaker 5: return to a non partisan districting in twenty thirty two.

678
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,120
Speaker 5: This is one of the most expensive propositions in state history.

679
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:22,720
Speaker 5: One hundred and twenty million was spent in favor, forty

680
00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:27,759
Speaker 5: four million against. There was also outside money. Newsome already

681
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 5: called on New York, Illinois and other Democrat majority seats

682
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 5: to do the same. Right, it's going to likely remove

683
00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 5: about five Republican seats, or those Republicans are going to struggle.

684
00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:41,520
Speaker 3: Right.

685
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: One of them would be at ser Diego's Mountain Empire

686
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,800
Speaker 5: and East County seat, which is currently the forty eighth.

687
00:37:47,520 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 5: That seat has been redistricted a few times, right, it's

688
00:37:51,160 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 5: moved around. It's currently Darryl ISO's seat. In response, California

689
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 5: Republicans have already filed a lawsuit. Suit was filed by

690
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,840
Speaker 5: high Meet Dylan's law firm.

691
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 2: Yayyay so Dyland of the party.

692
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:09,359
Speaker 5: Dylan is in the Trump administration now.

693
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, Elean is in the Trump administration and occasionally

694
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: in my inbox making threats.

695
00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:20,160
Speaker 5: Fastic great, But with Dylan's law firm that that father

696
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:24,520
Speaker 5: case right. The case has claimed that California drew the

697
00:38:24,560 --> 00:38:29,840
Speaker 5: new lines to quote specifically favor Hispanic voters, which it

698
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 5: is a similar claim to the Louisiana versus Calais. I

699
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:35,239
Speaker 5: think Calais. There is the way they say it here

700
00:38:35,520 --> 00:38:38,839
Speaker 5: case which is currently before the Supreme Court, which the

701
00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,880
Speaker 5: Supreme Court seems to be suggesting it might be it

702
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 5: might be amenable to this argument right, that the consideration

703
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 5: of race in redistricting is discriminate free. Yesterday Trump truth

704
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 5: quoting here, the unconstitutional redistricting vote in California is a

705
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 5: giant scam. That part is in block capital as is characteristic.

706
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 5: The rest is sporadically capitalized. I'm going back to the

707
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 5: quote now, in the entire process, in particular, the voting

708
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:12,799
Speaker 5: itself is rigged all quote mail in ballots where the

709
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:17,200
Speaker 5: Republicans in that state are shut out. It's under very

710
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 5: serious legal and criminal review. Stay tuned. Yeah, you know,

711
00:39:22,440 --> 00:39:24,919
Speaker 5: fairly predictable what we talked about it last week. It's

712
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,880
Speaker 5: not entirely possible for me to pass out that second sentence,

713
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:34,040
Speaker 5: but I think we can see what direction is pushing in. Right.

714
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 5: This was predictable that this was going to happen, and

715
00:39:36,360 --> 00:39:40,200
Speaker 5: we'll keep you updated on it. Also predictable that we

716
00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,040
Speaker 5: would have to pivot to ads again, which is what

717
00:39:43,040 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 5: we're going to do now. And we are back a

718
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 5: little bit of immigration news this week, as always according

719
00:40:03,640 --> 00:40:04,960
Speaker 5: to report it, this is actually last week, but we

720
00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,320
Speaker 5: didn't have time for last week. Equalt remportant by CNN.

721
00:40:07,360 --> 00:40:10,120
Speaker 5: Trump claimed he was quote very much opposed to his

722
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:13,680
Speaker 5: own administration's immigration raid on our HONDB plant in Georgia,

723
00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:17,320
Speaker 5: which obviously this is what he's saying to try and

724
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 5: get that foreign direct investment back in Georgia rape, because

725
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:22,640
Speaker 5: it looks very much like Georgia is going to pay

726
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 5: pretty heavily for that raid. Unfortunately, another man lost his

727
00:40:27,320 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 5: life when fleeing ice officers last week. He seems to

728
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:33,200
Speaker 5: have left a car that he was in and tempted

729
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:38,359
Speaker 5: across a freeway where he was fatally struck by another car. Yeah,

730
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:42,480
Speaker 5: that's the second time this has happened this year. Texas

731
00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,800
Speaker 5: acidned an agreement with a federal government to allow local

732
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 5: DPS officers to operate as ICE officers or technically to

733
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,719
Speaker 5: operate under the authority of ICE officers under the two

734
00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,359
Speaker 5: eighty seven g program. So this is not the first

735
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:58,480
Speaker 5: law enforcement agency in Texas to do this. Lots of

736
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,160
Speaker 5: local agencies had, but the DPS is statewide. Right, so

737
00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:05,680
Speaker 5: this would this would include offices of the Texas Highway Patrol.

738
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:09,120
Speaker 5: It has five thousand employees. It will make Texas a

739
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:14,160
Speaker 5: markedly more hostile place for migrants. The authority allows warrantless

740
00:41:14,239 --> 00:41:20,480
Speaker 5: detention under loosely limited, loosely phrased supervision by an ICE officer. Right,

741
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:24,800
Speaker 5: it allows Texas cops to detain a question people with

742
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 5: they suspect of being in the United States without documentation.

743
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,480
Speaker 5: Here in San Diego, San Diego's Border Patrol Sector released

744
00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:36,120
Speaker 5: a video with I think it was like, I'll have

745
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,399
Speaker 5: to check what song. It was like some cringe kind

746
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:42,720
Speaker 5: of pop punk soundtrack of the dynamting of land west

747
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 5: of the Hakumber Wilderness. This is likely the construction that

748
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:51,919
Speaker 5: saw many environmental and cultural protections waived by the HS

749
00:41:51,920 --> 00:41:55,840
Speaker 5: secretarynme earlier this year. Right, we're always seeing the beginning

750
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 5: of what that looks like and what that looks like

751
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,080
Speaker 5: here is just a very unique landscape. Many one I

752
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,800
Speaker 5: know some people who listen came out to Hookumber a

753
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,719
Speaker 5: couple of years ago to help out. Like it's an

754
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 5: extremely unique high desert landscape and it's currently being dynamited. Right.

755
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,400
Speaker 5: These are the areas where there were little gaps in

756
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,880
Speaker 5: the border wall because construction there is very hard and

757
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 5: the way that they're going ahead with the construction is

758
00:42:18,840 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 5: blowing stuff up. Finally, on the immigration beat, the case

759
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,000
Speaker 5: regarding conditions in the broad View Facility, which is in

760
00:42:27,080 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 5: Chicago until earlier this year it was only for very

761
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:33,399
Speaker 5: short stays, like not for twenty four hour stays, has

762
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,960
Speaker 5: revealed some of the horrific conditions inside the facility. It

763
00:42:37,080 --> 00:42:40,239
Speaker 5: confirmed something I've heard from multiple migrants who have been

764
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:43,000
Speaker 5: detained or over the US, which is ICE is using

765
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 5: the threat of longest stays in poor conditions to get

766
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:49,239
Speaker 5: people to sign deportation paperwork. Often it's literally in the

767
00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:51,920
Speaker 5: overcrowded rooms where they're sleeping and staying right, Like, at

768
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:53,839
Speaker 5: any point you can just walk up to it and

769
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,239
Speaker 5: sign your name and you will presumably be removed from

770
00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 5: those conditions and place into deportation flight as soon as possible.

771
00:43:03,719 --> 00:43:06,720
Speaker 5: Reading directly from the lawsuit here quote people are forced

772
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,840
Speaker 5: to attempt to sleep for days or sometimes weeks, on

773
00:43:08,880 --> 00:43:11,640
Speaker 5: plastic chairs or on the filthy concrete floor. They are

774
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:14,400
Speaker 5: denied to fficient food and water. They cannot shower, They

775
00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:17,200
Speaker 5: are denied soap, high giene items and mental products, and

776
00:43:17,239 --> 00:43:19,800
Speaker 5: they have no way to clean themselves. They are often

777
00:43:19,840 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 5: denied a change of clothes. Continuing my quote here, the

778
00:43:22,680 --> 00:43:26,240
Speaker 5: temperatures are extreme and uncomfortable. Most nights are freezing cold,

779
00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:29,880
Speaker 5: yet only some receive a thin foil blanket, sweater or

780
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:33,360
Speaker 5: sweatpants to try to retain warmth. The lights are typically

781
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:38,320
Speaker 5: on all night. People have also reported being denied waterway

782
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 5: agents that are being their running water in the places

783
00:43:40,239 --> 00:43:43,960
Speaker 5: where they are held, and very little food. We've reported

784
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 5: on these conditions before. Some of this is standard. Right,

785
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:51,160
Speaker 5: lights on all night, freezing cold, you only get a

786
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:53,879
Speaker 5: very thin blanket like that. That has been the case,

787
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 5: That was the case throughout the Biden administration. Right they

788
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,760
Speaker 5: call these places of the ice box, both in English

789
00:43:58,760 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 5: and in Spanish. This has always been the conditions to

790
00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,840
Speaker 5: people have been held in in these facilities have always

791
00:44:05,840 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 5: been in humane, but some of this is particularly bad.

792
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 5: People in broadview reported being so crowded they could not

793
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 5: extend their legs Jesus Chris, Yeah, so they had to

794
00:44:16,560 --> 00:44:18,839
Speaker 5: sit like sort of fetal position. They couldn't sit down

795
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:22,719
Speaker 5: and extend their legs right alone sleep. Disgusting the unclean

796
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 5: conditions they have. Lots of people have reported paperwork not

797
00:44:27,200 --> 00:44:30,319
Speaker 5: being able to language that they read write. Bathrooms there

798
00:44:30,360 --> 00:44:33,000
Speaker 5: are not private, and the lawsuit alleges that people of

799
00:44:33,040 --> 00:44:37,640
Speaker 5: other genders could see each other using the bathroom, which

800
00:44:37,719 --> 00:44:42,879
Speaker 5: is pretty disgusting. I've linked to the lawsuit. You can

801
00:44:43,040 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 5: read it if you want.

802
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:47,279
Speaker 7: To Terror Park Transition, go.

803
00:44:49,000 --> 00:45:01,760
Speaker 8: The jazz b Y Jazz Barry in the jazz rocking

804
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:02,839
Speaker 8: jazz bo.

805
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 7: Ah music to My Ears, Oh boy, okay, abrough shift

806
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,759
Speaker 7: in tone. So we got a little bit more details

807
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 7: on the sort of partial agreement that Trump and the

808
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 7: Chinese government have sort of come to that has staved

809
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 7: off some of the most disastrous of the new trade

810
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,920
Speaker 7: war elements. Both sides seem to have gotten rid of

811
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:29,960
Speaker 7: the fees from ships both docking at their ports and

812
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,360
Speaker 7: also on like the sort of complicated shipbuilding stuff we

813
00:45:34,360 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 7: talked about last year. The US has paused the thing

814
00:45:38,560 --> 00:45:41,000
Speaker 7: we talked about last week where they were using the

815
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:45,440
Speaker 7: Foreignansity list to do anything that was controlled that was

816
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 7: like forty percent or more controlled by a thing on

817
00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 7: the foreignansity list couldn't be traded with. The US is

818
00:45:50,560 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 7: backing off on that for a year. Chinese agreed to

819
00:45:53,280 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 7: buy more soybeans. There's also some discussion of China buying

820
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,879
Speaker 7: more energy products. But this is one of these things

821
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 7: that we just we have no idea what that is.

822
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:04,960
Speaker 7: It's possible by the time you're listening to this, there

823
00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:07,760
Speaker 7: will be information. All we have is buy more energy.

824
00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 7: And the last thing that Trump said that didn't seem

825
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,440
Speaker 7: to be part of the negotiations between him and the

826
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:18,719
Speaker 7: Chinese government per se, but we're definitely part of negotiations

827
00:46:18,760 --> 00:46:21,160
Speaker 7: that have been going on between Trump and his cabinet

828
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 7: was that there's going to be restrictions on AI chip exports.

829
00:46:25,840 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 7: Oh though exactly what is not known. All Trump said

830
00:46:29,719 --> 00:46:32,960
Speaker 7: was quote the most advanced we will not let anybody

831
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:36,960
Speaker 7: have them other than the United States. What this seems

832
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:40,400
Speaker 7: to be, and again everyone is kind of murkily hobbling

833
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:43,919
Speaker 7: together whatever information they have. What it seems to be

834
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:48,000
Speaker 7: is Trump stopped in Vidia from selling its most advanced

835
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 7: AI grade chips called Blackwell, to China, which was which

836
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 7: Nvidia has been massively lobbying for because they need to

837
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:58,719
Speaker 7: expand their market to continue the giant bubble that they've accumulated.

838
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 7: Trump has stopped them. It's unclear whether this is going

839
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,160
Speaker 7: to be made into formal policy or if Trump is

840
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 7: just going to personally intervene every time a CEO asked

841
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 7: him to do this. But yeah, we also have so

842
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 7: today recording November fifth is the start of the Supreme

843
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 7: Court case against the tariffs. I think it's worth noting

844
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 7: that this court case against the tariffs, it's framed as

845
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 7: like a lot of small businesses brought this lawsuit, and

846
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 7: they did. But also the reason it's gotten to the

847
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:27,440
Speaker 7: Supreme Court is because they're being backed by a huge

848
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 7: player in the conservative legal machine. Almost the entire thing

849
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,080
Speaker 7: is being funded and paid for by the Liberty Justice Center,

850
00:47:34,200 --> 00:47:37,880
Speaker 7: which is it's a kind of libertarian right wing legal

851
00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:40,640
Speaker 7: thing backed by like the Walton family and the Coke Network.

852
00:47:41,480 --> 00:47:43,960
Speaker 7: And this is I think one of the most direct

853
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 7: and interesting actual oppositional moves we've seen from this wing

854
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,439
Speaker 7: of the libertarian business wing of the party, which is very,

855
00:47:51,560 --> 00:47:54,359
Speaker 7: very pissed off at the tariffs. We've seen a whole

856
00:47:54,360 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 7: bunch of amicus curia briefs from the American Enterpresents, the

857
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 7: Tree and the Cato Institute, and a whole bunch of

858
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:04,000
Speaker 7: other wrote wing think tanks who are extremely angry about this.

859
00:48:04,640 --> 00:48:07,480
Speaker 7: We don't know exactly how it's going to go, but

860
00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:09,279
Speaker 7: the initial arguments do not seem to be going well

861
00:48:09,280 --> 00:48:13,799
Speaker 7: for the Trope administration. So that'll that'll be unfolding, and

862
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:15,879
Speaker 7: we'll report on it. More is as we know more.

863
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:19,640
Speaker 7: It's this is literally recording the first day of trials.

864
00:48:19,719 --> 00:48:24,040
Speaker 7: So and finally I'm going to close on a genuinely

865
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 7: deeply baffling piece of news, which is that the day

866
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 7: before the election in New York, Great Abbott posted that

867
00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,440
Speaker 7: there would be a one hundred percent tariff on anyone

868
00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 7: moving to New York after the election.

869
00:48:35,920 --> 00:48:36,879
Speaker 5: Yeah, how does that work?

870
00:48:37,239 --> 00:48:39,479
Speaker 2: Isn't it moving to Texas from New York?

871
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:41,680
Speaker 7: Well, I thought it was to New York.

872
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 4: It's for me, it looked like moving to New York

873
00:48:44,520 --> 00:48:44,879
Speaker 4: as well.

874
00:48:44,960 --> 00:48:47,200
Speaker 3: I mean, it's certainly unclear, because this doesn't not seem

875
00:48:47,239 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 3: like a policy proposal. It seems more like a post.

876
00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:54,680
Speaker 4: It's just a post. It's someone post posting through it.

877
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 2: Because this from moving from New York to Texas. Yeah,

878
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 2: any one moving from New York to Texas.

879
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:06,160
Speaker 7: Interesting. I don't know that tariffs are just posts now,

880
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:07,040
Speaker 7: I don't.

881
00:49:07,200 --> 00:49:09,960
Speaker 2: That's not like a thing that there's law around you

882
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:11,040
Speaker 2: being able to do.

883
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:13,520
Speaker 3: No, it's it's so one constitution. I think it's just

884
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:16,520
Speaker 3: a post. I don't think it is anything like is.

885
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:19,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean evidently, I think the interesting thing about

886
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 7: it is like is the way in which tariffs have

887
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,440
Speaker 7: come to be seen in their Republican mind as like

888
00:49:24,600 --> 00:49:26,479
Speaker 7: this is something you do to people you're mad at,

889
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,640
Speaker 7: which is very new development in this is this is

890
00:49:30,680 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 7: a this is a pure Trump too phenomena effectively.

891
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:38,720
Speaker 2: Well absolutely yeah, a marker of how intensely they're paying

892
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:43,000
Speaker 2: attention to this election. Like I mean, Abbots said doing

893
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 2: this because I'm sure it'll show show up his local popularity.

894
00:49:47,000 --> 00:49:50,040
Speaker 2: But it's a marker of like a change that has

895
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 2: been going on that that has been really like supercharged

896
00:49:53,760 --> 00:49:56,680
Speaker 2: in the Trump era of No, No, you can't have

897
00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:02,640
Speaker 2: local politics, like it's it's all national politics and any

898
00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,960
Speaker 2: kind of vote at a state or local level that

899
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:10,080
Speaker 2: goes against whatever the party wants is something to be punished,

900
00:50:10,160 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: like even if it's two thousand miles away. And that

901
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 2: is that hasn't been as dominant in US politics as

902
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,000
Speaker 2: it has been recently. We should probably talk a little

903
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:25,280
Speaker 2: bit about Texas's election night, because that was also pretty consequential.

904
00:50:25,680 --> 00:50:29,400
Speaker 2: There were seventeen ballot measures passed by the Texas legislature

905
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 2: earlier this year by a two thirds majority, And the

906
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:36,600
Speaker 2: way Texas law works is that once the legislature votes

907
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,160
Speaker 2: for a ballot measure to two thirds majority, it becomes

908
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:42,759
Speaker 2: a constitutional amendment after a simple majority of voters on

909
00:50:42,840 --> 00:50:46,799
Speaker 2: a ballot support it. And there were seventeen measures on

910
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 2: the ballot in Texas, which is wild, very few states

911
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:55,040
Speaker 2: and constitutional amendments that the rate Texas dons and all

912
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 2: of them passed, which is nuts, and some of them

913
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: are like fine. There was want to create like a

914
00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:03,439
Speaker 2: three billion dollar fund for dementia research with like which

915
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 2: is like whatever, and nobody's got a problem with that really.

916
00:51:06,520 --> 00:51:10,880
Speaker 2: Some questions about implementation maybe, but there's some absolutely bug

917
00:51:10,920 --> 00:51:14,640
Speaker 2: fuck nuts stuff in here. Proposition thirteen raised the homestead

918
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 2: exemption from one hundred thousand dollars to one hundred and

919
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 2: forty thousand dollars. It was passed by about eighty percent

920
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:22,640
Speaker 2: of voters. This lowers the taxable value of a home,

921
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 2: which reduces overall tax bills on your primary residence. Per

922
00:51:27,800 --> 00:51:30,200
Speaker 2: an article in the Houston Chronicle, the amendments will be

923
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:32,919
Speaker 2: especially felt by elderly or disabled Texans who are poised

924
00:51:32,960 --> 00:51:35,040
Speaker 2: to receive a separate tax, a separate break that brings

925
00:51:35,080 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 2: their total property tax exemptions to two hundred thousand. As

926
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 2: a result, roughly half of seniors and people with disabilities

927
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 2: living in Harris and Bear Counties will no longer pay

928
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:47,839
Speaker 2: any school property taxes. Jesus I should have to say

929
00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 2: how bad that is for Texas schools and in general.

930
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,200
Speaker 2: This A lot of these ballot measures were about making

931
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 2: heavy cuts and making it impossible to raise new revenue.

932
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:01,480
Speaker 2: The cuts that are just in these ballot measures are

933
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:03,520
Speaker 2: going to cost the state about four billion dollars over

934
00:52:03,520 --> 00:52:05,960
Speaker 2: the next two years. Right, But that's not all that

935
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 2: was done. Several of the bills that were passed banned

936
00:52:09,239 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: the potential to create new taxes. Right, So it is

937
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 2: now illegal in Texas to create taxes on capital gains

938
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,640
Speaker 2: or taxes on the growth of assets like property in stocks,

939
00:52:22,920 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 2: or taxes on inheritance, and to state taxes. Taxes on

940
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: the operations of stock exchanges are now banned because several

941
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 2: have announced plans to open in taxes. Right, So you

942
00:52:33,719 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 2: are looking at I think the estimate here that I'm

943
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:38,560
Speaker 2: seeing in the chronicles articles that the states can spend

944
00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:41,360
Speaker 2: about fifty one billion dollars over the coming biennium to

945
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,360
Speaker 2: pay for the new cuts and maintain existing ones. Texas

946
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,360
Speaker 2: is a state that has had for quite a while

947
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:50,960
Speaker 2: a budget surplus, and they are basically lighting a lot

948
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:55,040
Speaker 2: of that on fire to appeal to rich people and

949
00:52:55,880 --> 00:52:59,400
Speaker 2: business Note owners in stock exchanges to take their assets

950
00:52:59,400 --> 00:53:02,000
Speaker 2: to Texas. You won't have to help society if you

951
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:04,440
Speaker 2: come to Texas. We don't have a society in Texas, right,

952
00:53:04,880 --> 00:53:07,960
Speaker 2: And that agenda did very well in Texas.

953
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:10,800
Speaker 5: Jeez. Anyway, good stuff.

954
00:53:11,280 --> 00:53:13,000
Speaker 2: I guess the last thing I want to talk about

955
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,280
Speaker 2: a little bit, since we've got a couple of minutes

956
00:53:15,320 --> 00:53:18,560
Speaker 2: here is the question on everybody's mind. Should I be

957
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:21,480
Speaker 2: flying anywhere for the holidays? Is that going to be

958
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 2: a good idea? We're I'm saying this a day after

959
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:30,280
Speaker 2: a horrific crash of a UPS flight over Muhammad Ali

960
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:34,879
Speaker 2: International Airport in Louisville, right, which I mean, I think

961
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 2: seven was the death toll last I saw night maarish fireballs.

962
00:53:38,880 --> 00:53:40,320
Speaker 5: I mean at nine this morning?

963
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 2: Is it at nine? Because the plane just the engine

964
00:53:45,040 --> 00:53:49,120
Speaker 2: caught on fire basically on takeoff, and normally, from what

965
00:53:49,120 --> 00:53:52,400
Speaker 2: I'm reading from pilots, normally that should have been a

966
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 2: manageable problem. But because it happened during the ascent, which

967
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 2: is the most dangerous part of piloting a plane and

968
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 2: where you have the least control, they were not able

969
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:02,920
Speaker 2: to recover or gain any kind of control. And the

970
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,879
Speaker 2: plane basically plowed directly into a UPS warehouse, And it

971
00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:10,800
Speaker 2: was loaded with something like three hundred thousand pounds worth

972
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,400
Speaker 2: of fuel because it was about to fly to Honolulu,

973
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:15,640
Speaker 2: so it was as full of fuel as a big

974
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: plane can be, and just a horrific crash. Is this

975
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 2: tied to the fact that you have a lot of

976
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: federal employees furloughed? Is it tied more just to the

977
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 2: fact that the FAA is not functioning the way it

978
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,120
Speaker 2: should be or used to as a result of changes

979
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 2: the Trump administration made as soon as they came to power.

980
00:54:34,600 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 2: I think it's too early to say that, but this

981
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:41,680
Speaker 2: is part of a pattern of pretty disastrous near misses

982
00:54:41,680 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 2: that absolutely can be attributed to things like the air

983
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: traffic controller shortage and the fact that there's just a

984
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 2: lot less safety precautions being taken. And this is something

985
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:54,399
Speaker 2: the administration is aware of and has become critical enough

986
00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 2: that they're no longer able to deny it. Secretary of

987
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:01,800
Speaker 2: Transportations Sean Duffy on Monday said that all commercial flights

988
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:06,319
Speaker 2: might be stopped nationwide to protect public safety, and they

989
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 2: were certainly going to need to cut off flights in

990
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,040
Speaker 2: specific parts of the countries at times as a result

991
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:13,200
Speaker 2: of the ATC shortage.

992
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:13,480
Speaker 5: Right.

993
00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,960
Speaker 2: Basically, there's different like grids that the country is divided into,

994
00:55:18,040 --> 00:55:19,680
Speaker 2: and you might have to shut down one or more

995
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:23,279
Speaker 2: of those at a time in order to make the

996
00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 2: shortage of air traffic controllers able to handle the rest

997
00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:26,720
Speaker 2: of the load.

998
00:55:27,160 --> 00:55:27,399
Speaker 6: Right.

999
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:29,800
Speaker 2: For an example of how bad this can get locally,

1000
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:34,080
Speaker 2: on last Friday in New York State, eighty percent of

1001
00:55:34,200 --> 00:55:36,440
Speaker 2: air traffic controllers did not show up for work. So

1002
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,680
Speaker 2: this is a potentially pretty calamitous problem. There have been

1003
00:55:39,719 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 2: ground delays on Monday for three major Texas airports in Austin,

1004
00:55:43,760 --> 00:55:47,319
Speaker 2: Dallas Fort Worth, and Dallas love Field. And this is

1005
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:49,680
Speaker 2: just in general, a problem that's only going to get

1006
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:52,920
Speaker 2: worse as the shutdown looms, because I've seen some interviews

1007
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,480
Speaker 2: with air traffic controllers where like one guy was like, look,

1008
00:55:55,800 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 2: we're not getting medicine for my kid and she'll die

1009
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,480
Speaker 2: without it. It's just not coming in. How do you

1010
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:03,160
Speaker 2: expect me to be a fucking air traffic controller right,

1011
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 2: like the hardest job in the country that requires absolutely

1012
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 2: perfect concentration at all times without ever fucking up or

1013
00:56:09,719 --> 00:56:13,439
Speaker 2: hundreds of people die. So I don't know to answer

1014
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,120
Speaker 2: the question of like, should you fly be planning flights

1015
00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:20,080
Speaker 2: for this holiday season? You should certainly get the flight

1016
00:56:20,120 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: and share its and be paying attention the days before

1017
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:27,400
Speaker 2: as to what's happening if the shutdown doesn't end, because

1018
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 2: right now we are seeing delays the likes of which

1019
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 2: haven't really been seen since maybe either the pandemic probably

1020
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,239
Speaker 2: before nine to eleven was kind of the last time

1021
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:39,200
Speaker 2: things were this completely fucked. Garrison can tell you how

1022
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:41,640
Speaker 2: much of a fucking nightmare they had coming back. And

1023
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 2: it's not just in the United States. By the way,

1024
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:46,880
Speaker 2: multiple major airports in Europe over the last week and

1025
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:50,720
Speaker 2: change have had to shut down entirely or partly because

1026
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:55,399
Speaker 2: of unauthorized or unknown drone flights in their airspace. That's

1027
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:59,840
Speaker 2: just going globally. Air travel is not doing well.

1028
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, Russia's been probing Europe with these or lands for

1029
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:07,680
Speaker 5: a little while. Yeah. I think all then know Roberts

1030
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,160
Speaker 5: flowing Garrison. I have flown this month. It fucking sucks.

1031
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,120
Speaker 5: Use a credit card if you can when they had

1032
00:57:13,160 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 5: some protections, but maybe maybe consider not flying right now.

1033
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, just you know, keep an eye on things. I

1034
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:21,080
Speaker 2: don't know what else to tell you.

1035
00:57:21,760 --> 00:57:25,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's great. Everything's going great. That is the slogan.

1036
00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:26,480
Speaker 5: Everything's going great.

1037
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 4: You know, there's been worse times.

1038
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,240
Speaker 2: There's been worse time, Yeah, the Blitz.

1039
00:57:31,560 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, talking of worse times. Lots of people are hungry,

1040
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 5: right because we are we're fucking with people's snap benefits

1041
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 5: now as part of the culture war. Lots of people

1042
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 5: are very worried about where their food is going to

1043
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 5: come from. Right, and we're entering a time of year,

1044
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 5: you know, kids are going to be off school, there's

1045
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 5: lots of places you can still get your free school meals,

1046
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,400
Speaker 5: but it's a difficult time for people. It's difficult time

1047
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 5: for people to feed their families. I wanted to plug.

1048
00:57:56,800 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 5: We All we Got is San Diego group. What they're

1049
00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 5: doing it is helping people be able to rely on

1050
00:58:03,160 --> 00:58:06,720
Speaker 5: them by delivering groceries to them right and the way

1051
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,720
Speaker 5: that they most need support is for people to sign

1052
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:13,120
Speaker 5: up to regularly donate a certain amount. I'm not going

1053
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 5: to tell you how much you can donate, but if

1054
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:16,880
Speaker 5: you're able to, that will give them the ability to

1055
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:20,440
Speaker 5: plan to secure groceries for people they're supporting. The way

1056
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 5: you can find their website is to go to we
