A few things 103 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 3: on this clay. One is the lack of first Islamophobia 104 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 3: as a nonsense term. I think Christopher Hitchins once said 105 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 3: it's like a nonsense term used used by thugs to 106 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 3: silence idiots, or something like that. It was Essentially the 107 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 3: whole point of Islamophobia is to create some word that 108 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 3: shuts down criticism of aspects of a faith that now 109 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 3: has about two billion adherents worldwide and is certainly something 110 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,599 Speaker 3: that people should be allowed to discuss. Phobia is an 111 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 3: irrational fear of There was a period of time where 112 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: there was plenty of rational fear of radicalized elements from 113 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 3: within the Islamic world, and by the way, there still 114 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: is plenty of rational discussion to be had about elements 115 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 3: of the Islamic world that are a problem for Western 116 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 3: civilization and for the State of Israel, for America, for 117 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: a whole bunch of things. Okay, but putting that aside, 118 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 3: for a second couple of things. One is I mentioned 119 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,920 Speaker 3: this yesterday. It is to America's extreme credit that there 120 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: was so little to the American people, There was so 121 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: little actual Islamic bigotry on display here after nine to eleven. 122 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: Given the scope scale of those attacks and the continued 123 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 3: attacks that happened, this is something that gets lost in 124 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: this discussion. 125 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 2: Clay, there were further. 126 00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 3: Gee hottiest mass murders of Americans that went on for 127 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 3: the better part of two decades here. It's kind of 128 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 3: slowed down in the last few years, but it was 129 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 3: a regular thing. Oh another you know, bomb goes off somewhere, 130 00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 3: or someone's run down ten people for no reason in 131 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 3: the street, and a mass murder attack. And so with 132 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,400 Speaker 3: all of that going on, and we had multiple wars 133 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: and counterinsurgency operations going on against Islamist elements, and a 134 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,000 Speaker 3: you know, billions and billions of dollars spent on security, 135 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: we effectively have airport security lines because of Islamic radicalism. 136 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 3: Thanks Islamic radicalism. With all of that, they still have 137 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 3: to make up stories like this, Zorn Mamdani. He's not 138 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: telling a story about something that would be truly horrific 139 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 3: and wrong. Oh my gosh, the fire bombing of a 140 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: mosque that occurred on you know, in Brooklyn. 141 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: Right, No, none of that happened. 142 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 3: But he's a theater kid cosplaying a radical, and so 143 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: it's totally normal for him to make up the story 144 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: of the aunt who, among hundreds of thousands of Muslims 145 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 3: in New York City, was the one who was too 146 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 3: scared to ride the subway with her job.

And again he said, 179 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: when the NYPD boot is on your throat, it has 180 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: been laced by the IDF. Here he is in twenty 181 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: twenty saying we don't need police. They don't create safety. 182 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: We need to take the money and defund the NYPD. 183 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 1: This is about as direct as you can be cut 184 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: thirty three. 185 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 4: We need to defund these institutions. And I say that 186 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 4: as somebody who has grown up in this city, who 187 00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: has seen what these cops can do, and who has 188 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,840 Speaker 4: seen the ways in which that police have been integrated 189 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,079 Speaker 4: into every part of our lives. And we had them 190 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 4: in our high school, so we had them in our 191 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: middle schools. We do not need police to be in 192 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,240 Speaker 4: these places. They do not create safety. We need to 193 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 4: take this money, defund the NYPD, and refund the people. 194 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,959 Speaker 2: I mean, this is pretty straightforward. 195 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 3: The guy has told you what at least he thought 196 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 3: was popular at the time, which is he's a shape 197 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: shifting amba that is just an actor more than anything else. 198 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 3: I think here's the truth, Clay. It's like when they 199 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,439 Speaker 3: hit him with all these ads, all Cuomo has run. 200 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 3: Cuomo's run a garbage campaign relative to what it should 201 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,680 Speaker 3: have been for a guy who you can tell that 202 00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 3: he's a Nepo baby who became governor because daddy was governor, 203 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 3: and he has a last name that New York has recognized. 204 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,360 Speaker 3: He was a horrible governor. By the way, He's not 205 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 3: a good campaigner. He's actually not a talented politician. He 206 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 3: has not run a good campaign in the City of 207 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: New York at all. And as I've said, if Mamdanni's 208 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: an f as mayor in waiting, Cuomo is maybe a 209 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: C minus better better, but not great, not great at all. 210 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: And I think that the attacks on Mamdanni's saying he 211 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 3: doesn't have enough experience, the people voting for him don't care, 212 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 3: and the attacks on Mamdani that you and I are 213 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 3: are now leveling, which is that he's clearly a woke 214 00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 3: radical leftist who is anti Copp at his core, Clay. 215 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 3: They've already gotten around this by saying, you know, he 216 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 3: believed that. Then he's apologized. He'll keep Jessica Tish in 217 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 3: her role as NYPD commissioner, whom everyone respects and by 218 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: the way, people do respect. But how long does he 219 00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 3: keep her in that role, and does he allow her 220 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 3: to actually do the job the way she wants to. 221 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: Does she end up resigning in a year in frustration 222 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 3: because she's handcuffed, so to speak, from doing the job 223 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 3: the way that she should, even if she's kept in 224 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,920 Speaker 3: that role the clay that requires a degree of political wisdom, 225 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 3: insight and foresight that you and I and all of 226 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 3: you with us now have. But the Mondani voters don't. 227 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 3: They're just gonna excuse whatever they have to excuse. And 228 00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: by the way, a lot of them think that he's 229 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 3: just fooling some of the normies and is still every 230 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 3: bit the radical and they like that, right. So yeah, 231 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 3: you know, you know, we're preaching to the choir on 232 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: how anti copy is, but they're playing this game very well. 233 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 2: In the Mam Donnie campaign. 234 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: We will play another couple of cuts, including Mam Donnie's 235 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: dad saying that Hitler learned everything he knows from Abraham Lincoln. 236 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 3: Again, these are directed, I would be news to Abraham Lincoln, 237 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 3: which is the most amazing thing. Abe would be like, WHOA, 238 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 3: I didn't know that I learned everything, or rather that 239 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 3: I taught that. He was the inspiration for Naziedom. According 240 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 3: to Mam Donnie's dad, this is what he's been raised 241 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 3: to believe. And this race again, there's data out there 242 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,679 Speaker 3: that suggests that we may be headed for the highest 243 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 3: turnout in a mayoral race since nineteen ninety three. So 244 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: maybe there is hope that I could be wearing a 245 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:48,319 Speaker 3: red beret for a week. On the program, Curtis ly 246 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,079 Speaker 3: was going to join us tomorrow and make the case 247 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 3: for why I'm a moron, and some of you have 248 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,440 Speaker 3: us already signed on to that.

For the thirteenth time, 351 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,520 Speaker 1: a Republican bill seeking to reopen the government has been 352 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: blocked by Senate Democrats. The defectors, just to kind of 353 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: keep you updated as the lockdown shutdown continues. John Fetterman 354 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 1: Cortes Mastow from Nevada, I believe, and King, one of 355 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,600 Speaker 1: the senators from Maine voted in favor of it. That's 356 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 1: three Democrats and that gets us to fifty six, meaning 357 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: in order to effectively open the government, we need sixty votes, 358 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 1: and if my math is correct, we are still for 359 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: short of being able to do that. And so this 360 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: is something that I think continues to play itself out 361 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: at this point. 362 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:52,480 Speaker 2: Buck. 363 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 1: I think the calculus clearly is that Democrats have decided 364 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 1: they want the government shut down, maybe to help juice 365 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,640 Speaker 1: turn out in what they believe are must win governor's 366 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: races in New Jersey and in Virginia. And so I 367 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 1: don't think anything's going to change till after November fourth. 368 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: I also think that after November fourth, the question becomes, 369 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,200 Speaker 1: as we come up on Thanksgiving, are they going to 370 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,920 Speaker 1: reopen anything prior to Thanksgiving? And part of me just 371 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: thinks the answer is going to be no. Now Trump 372 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: is in Japan, I don't know if we mentioned that 373 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,439 Speaker 1: off the top, but he remains in Asia, and I 374 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: just don't think there's a lot of pressure being brought 375 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,919 Speaker 1: to bear to get anything to change. So that is 376 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 1: the reality of where we are. Democrats have decided that 377 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:45,520 Speaker 1: absence an actual message, absence a political platform to try 378 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: to counter and and be constructive in what they would 379 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: offer as governance, they just are going for full on sabotage. 380 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: And to your point about how the election's coming up, 381 00:20:58,200 --> 00:21:02,000 Speaker 1: this certainly is a huge part of really all of 382 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 1: I would say, the calculations the Democrats are making right now. 383 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: Food stamps are about to run out. I know we're 384 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:08,840 Speaker 1: supposed to call it a snap now. It has a 385 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: catchy title Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program food stamps, free food 386 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: for people, food welfare is really what it is that 387 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 1: is about to shut down, meaning that they're going to 388 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 1: run out of money for this, and so far there 389 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: is no contingency in place for it, so there are 390 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: This is amazingly, there are forty million people in this 391 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 1: country who run food stamps. 392 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,800 Speaker 3: This is this is the honest question. How many of 393 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 3: those people do you think actually need food stamps in 394 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: order to be able to successfully live? And the reason 395 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 3: I asked that question is my suspicion is that the 396 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 3: food stamp world is rife with tons of corruption, and 397 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 3: we just that lay allowed it to expand and expand. 398 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 3: And many of the people that are on food stamps 399 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 3: are actually morbidly obese, which means they're not actually struggling 400 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 3: to feed themselves, right like, there isn't a deep it's 401 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 3: not a calorie it's not a calorie deficit, correct that 402 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 3: anyone is in. Well, this also goes to the way 403 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 3: I remember you were lied to, all of you. You 404 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 3: were lied to by the New York Times and others 405 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 3: when they said that there was mass starvation in Gaza. 406 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:28,080 Speaker 3: Just to be clear, there was no mass starve. There 407 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 3: was no starvation period. No one was starving. There was 408 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:37,920 Speaker 3: what they call food insecurity and nutritional deficiency, which one 409 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,359 Speaker 3: I think probably existed in Gaza before the War two, 410 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 3: the nutritional deficiency part of it. And to Clay, something 411 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: like forty million Americans in this country are considered food insecure. 412 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 3: They're on food stamps. So there's all these ways that 413 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 3: they Starvation is a horrific one of the most horrific 414 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 3: things that a human being can suffered through. It's a 415 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 3: very specific thing, which is not enough foo food for 416 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:02,720 Speaker 3: your function, for your system to function, and it will 417 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 3: kill you. 418 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:05,359 Speaker 2: Not having. 419 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 3: You know, whatever food you want, in whatever quantity you 420 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 3: want is a different problem, a different thing. And to 421 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 3: your point about obesity and the supplemental Nutritional Assistance program, 422 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 3: there's always this fight over wool. Can it cover soda? 423 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 3: Can it cover effectively just sugar and empty calories. We 424 00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 3: have a huge type two diabetes problem along with the 425 00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 3: obese problem. Those things go hand in hand in this country. 426 00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 3: But we the actual program estimates Clay that it's about 427 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 3: eleven or twelve billion dollars of just straight fraud in 428 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: that program, eleven or twelve billion, and that's what the 429 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 3: government thinks. So what the real number is, who knows. 430 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 3: But beyond that, the fact that we are the wealthiest 431 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 3: country in the world and we have forty million people 432 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 3: on food stamps is indicative of something. It's indicative of 433 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 3: a dependency that the government has created and fostered with 434 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: no end in sight. And that's not a good thing. 435 00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 2: Correct. 436 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 3: We have more than enough calories for everybody. There's more 437 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 3: than enough ways to get food for everybody. And if 438 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 3: you see what people are buying with food stamps and 439 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 3: a lot of you know, you see people. 440 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 2: I see it in a grocery store. 441 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 3: I shop people using EVT cards and they're getting soda 442 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 3: and potato chips. Yeah, And people can say, oh, that's 443 00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 3: so classist or something, but that's what they're buying. Well, 444 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 3: here's an easy question. If you could wave a magic 445 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 3: wand in this society, do you think we have a 446 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 3: bigger issue in America with obesity or with starvation? Would 447 00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:37,919 Speaker 3: anyone say that we have an issue with starvation in 448 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 3: America or obesity? Like if you could wave a magic 449 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,560 Speaker 3: wand and solve one of those things, which would be 450 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 3: the healthier thing to be able to solve. If we 451 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 3: cut obesity in half in this country, buck, I bet 452 00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 3: our overall medical cost would decline by half as well. Right, 453 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 3: Obesity is a huge signifier of significant health related issues. 454 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 3: So if you were out there right now and I 455 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:05,639 Speaker 3: gave you a magic wand, then I said, there are 456 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,840 Speaker 3: lots of countries, by the way, where you would say, oh, no, 457 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 3: we one hundred percent need to address starvation. There are 458 00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 3: people who have truly not enough food to be able 459 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: to survive. That is not this country. We have so 460 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 3: much food in fact, that our bigger issue is we 461 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: have way too many fat people relative to the overall population, 462 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 3: and a lot of those people are using, to your point, 463 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 3: these food stamp policies to go and buy super unhealthy 464 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 3: food that makes them unhealthier, and we're all subsidizing it. 465 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 3: And you can argue, okay, well why would you you know, 466 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 3: freedom of They should be able to buy anything they 467 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 3: want with their food stamp, but we're subsidizing it. So 468 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 3: I do think it's worth asking as taxpayers, a is 469 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: this a policy? Is this a program that is getting 470 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 3: good value? I know, well, I promise we'll come back 471 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,560 Speaker 3: to Kamim Mamdani, But this actually goes to a lot 472 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 3: of things, because he's talking about grocery restores, for example, 473 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 3: and how we need to have city, city run grocery 474 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:08,600 Speaker 3: stores that have the basically don't run for their nonprofits. 475 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,119 Speaker 3: They've tried this, just to be clear, in different places 476 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: they have pilot programs. There's always a disaster. Guess what 477 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 3: you find out. Nobody in the city run grocery store 478 00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 3: cares at the shore, at the shelves are bare, Nobody 479 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 3: cares if the produce actually looks good. Nobody cares because 480 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 3: no one's making any money and they get paid the 481 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 3: same whether there's bread on the shelves or not. But 482 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 3: even beyond that, a little trip down memory lane, because 483 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 3: I found this fascinating because this affected New York City 484 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 3: way back in the day the Obama administration. Claire, remember 485 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 3: Michelle Obamas Let's Move campaign. There was along with that 486 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 3: when she was first lady. I'm taking you back a decade, folks, 487 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 3: there was a food desert, a whole food desert thing. 488 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 3: You know, you don't hear that term very much anymore. 489 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:54,400 Speaker 3: And the whole premise of the food desert was low 490 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 3: income people. They're obviously not starving. Right to your point 491 00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 3: is it's not that there's no food, but they don't 492 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 3: have access to lean, lean cuts of steak and organic 493 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,439 Speaker 3: chalade and and the thing, you know, these things that 494 00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 3: are generally considered more kind of upper end income lifestyle 495 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,679 Speaker 3: food choices. So they created this pilot program where not 496 00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 3: only did they bring in farmers market produce into New 497 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,639 Speaker 3: York City, New York Times had all these stories on this. 498 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:29,399 Speaker 3: The reason there's a reason, I'm gonna tell you why 499 00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 3: you don't hear about this anymore. Farmer's market produce into 500 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 3: all of these different cities or all of these different 501 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: stores rather subsidized a clay. The government said, we're gonna 502 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 3: make this. 503 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:41,280 Speaker 2: Army wants you to. 504 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 3: Make healthier choices, so we're gonna make the healthier choices cheaper. 505 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,320 Speaker 3: So they truck the food into these low income neighborhoods. 506 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 3: There's a whole pr campaign around letting people know, Hey, 507 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:58,880 Speaker 3: you can get all the archisanal wildflower honey you want now, 508 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 3: you know, to tell everybody in low income neighborhoods of 509 00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: New York and bring it. So what's artificially cheaper? So 510 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 3: now it's not oh, I have to get like the 511 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 3: off brand potato chips because there now it's oh my gosh, 512 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 3: I can do you know how much they were able 513 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,199 Speaker 3: to change the buying habits in these neighborhoods. 514 00:28:16,720 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 2: Zero. They were not able to statistically, in. 515 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:24,119 Speaker 3: Any way measure any change in the buying habits of 516 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:28,359 Speaker 3: So unless you're going to force feed low income people 517 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 3: the quote healthy, organic, blah blah, all that stuff, they 518 00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,520 Speaker 3: just want to eat. 519 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 2: What they want to eat. 520 00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:34,880 Speaker 5: Yeah. 521 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 3: I think there's very important lessons here about the free 522 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 3: market and about economics and choice and central planning. And 523 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 3: you look at someone like mom Donnie he's saying, I 524 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 3: want to set up government owned grocery stores Clay. They 525 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,040 Speaker 3: had those in the Soviet Union. It did not work 526 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: out well. Have them in Cuba now to get meat. 527 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 3: They have them in Cuba. 528 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:58,520 Speaker 1: Every now and then you will see video of all 529 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,000 Speaker 1: the people in Cuba lining up up to try to 530 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: go into their government run stores. They're never anything on 531 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 1: the shelves. And this is again, this goes to a 532 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 1: just complete failure to understand basic business. If you were 533 00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:17,800 Speaker 1: going to go in business, A grocery store and many 534 00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: of you out there have been involved in this in 535 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: the past, has one of the tiniest profit margins of 536 00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 1: any business. It is a high volume, low profit based business. 537 00:29:29,280 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: One reason if you walk around and you look at 538 00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 1: grocery store shelves that grocery stores themselves produce generic versions 539 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 1: of doritos or generic versions of soda is because that's 540 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:49,280 Speaker 1: much higher profit margin than the brand name, so to 541 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:54,480 Speaker 1: speak out there, and it is just it's akin to 542 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: someone saying as sometimes you will hear, oh, these gas 543 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: stations the price of gas, or they're making so much money, 544 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:05,400 Speaker 1: and you say, wait a minute, you realize gas stations 545 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: make almost no money on gas right, it is a 546 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:10,960 Speaker 1: lost leader. Very often, as many of you who have 547 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,520 Speaker 1: run gas stations know, the way that gas stations make 548 00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,640 Speaker 1: profit is typically off of the store. So when you 549 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: walk inside and you buy products, you buy a drink, 550 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: or you buy a lottery ticket, or you buy something 551 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,000 Speaker 1: in a gas station, that's how the business is run. 552 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: And so when you have people like Mamdani and Buck, 553 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,960 Speaker 1: you know this better than anybody. 554 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 2: But one of the. 555 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:36,560 Speaker 1: Toughest places to be bringing product into is New York 556 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: City because the streets are narrow like, the trucks are complicated. 557 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 1: The cost of bringing in all that product and trying 558 00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,280 Speaker 1: to deliver it to so many different stores. It is 559 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: one of the dumbest arguments I've ever heard from a 560 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 1: politician that they're gonna make groceries more affordable by getting 561 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: the government in the grocery business. 562 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,400 Speaker 3: And you have you have the green energy, you know, 563 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 3: climate change maniacs who have decided that we can't have 564 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 3: any more places to park, and we have fewer, fewer lanes, 565 00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: and we're going to force people onto buses. And now 566 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 3: we're gonna, if Mamdani wins, gonna have buses with no fare. 567 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: So they're just going to be traveling homeless terminals that 568 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: smell like urin and god knows what else, and they 569 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,280 Speaker 3: do all this clay and what happens, And this is 570 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 3: again the cause and effect reality of central planning by 571 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,520 Speaker 3: Kami morons. People would be staggered to know how many 572 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,360 Speaker 3: parking tickets are written every day in Manhattan in particular, 573 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,480 Speaker 3: and how that actually becomes a tax on all businesses 574 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 3: because to get your deliveries, all of your delivery guys 575 00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 3: for all of your restaurants and all of your supermarkets 576 00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 3: and everything are constantly getting tickets that go to the 577 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,840 Speaker 3: city of New York. And so there's an addition that's 578 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,880 Speaker 3: just a tax because it raises the cost of delivering 579 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 3: food or raises the cost of delivering goods and services. 580 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: All of this made worse by people in city Hall 581 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 3: in New York and by the way, any Democrat city 582 00:31:56,320 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 3: across the country that's following the similar playbook, it's all 583 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,200 Speaker 3: made worse by their decisions all the time. All they 584 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 3: do is make things worse most of the time. I mean, 585 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 3: that's really what you see. And Mom Donnie is certainly 586 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,680 Speaker 3: going to be somebody who falls into that category. 587 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,000 Speaker 2: It's it's very frustrating. 588 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,680 Speaker 1: You know what is not frustrating the fact that yesterday 589 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:17,440 Speaker 1: was the Equinox. I was talking with our team here. 590 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 5: You know. 591 00:32:18,440 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 3: Game three was Game three, right, Game three of the 592 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,360 Speaker 3: World Series. Last night I wasn't watching. I went to bed. 593 00:32:24,760 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 1: It went on until two fifty am Eastern.

But it ended on a Freddie Freeman home run. 599 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, first baseman for the Dodgers. Dodgers are up 600 00:32:49,800 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: to one in the World Series against Toronto, and right 601 00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 1: now you can get hooked up whether you'll love Major 602 00:32:56,440 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 1: League Baseball, whether you'll love the NHL, NBA, college football. 603 00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm going to give you an NFL pick on Thursday, 604 00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: and you can play along, and you get fifty dollars 605 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 1: when you play five dollars at Price Picks.

One is 619 00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 3: we are going to play that clip of mom Donnie's 620 00:33:58,280 --> 00:34:01,520 Speaker 3: dad don't at the sins of the father upon the son. 621 00:34:01,600 --> 00:34:02,800 Speaker 3: I know that's what they're all going to say, but 622 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:07,600 Speaker 3: Mamdanni's dad saying some really really bad stuff. And it's 623 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 3: only relevant in so far as I think that Mamdani 624 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 3: believes this kind of stuff too. 625 00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:14,800 Speaker 2: He's a radical leftist. He's a radical leftist. 626 00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:17,360 Speaker 3: Notice how these radical leftists when they want to get famous, 627 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,320 Speaker 3: they'll say all this crazy stuff, but they want to 628 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:21,080 Speaker 3: build their support on the left. And then Clay when 629 00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 3: it comes to election time, like. 630 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:27,440 Speaker 2: I'm not a radical. It is amazing guy, Hello, fellow normies. 631 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,160 Speaker 3: I don't believe that Lennon was awesome and that we 632 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 3: should just, you know, destroy capitalism. I'm like totally normal 633 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,359 Speaker 3: like you. I love Shark Tank, you know what I mean. 634 00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:40,560 Speaker 6: It is. 635 00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 3: Extraordinary how quickly they try to disavow all the crazy 636 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,439 Speaker 3: things they said to become popular on the left. I mean, 637 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 3: the NYTV NYPD boot on your throat is laced by 638 00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:02,200 Speaker 3: the idf is. I mean, it is a crazy line, 639 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 3: but this is the kind of thing he says that 640 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,799 Speaker 3: everybody cheers, And I think what you said is important here, Buck, 641 00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,919 Speaker 3: because now what happens is he comes back and he says, well, 642 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 3: I didn't really mean that. But all the people on 643 00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:19,200 Speaker 3: the left who are Mom Donnie fans are quietly among 644 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:20,799 Speaker 3: themselves saying, he's just. 645 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:22,360 Speaker 2: Saying that so he can get elected. 646 00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 3: Now he still believes what we do, and we'll see 647 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,000 Speaker 3: whether or not he's capable of trying to put any 648 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:32,040 Speaker 3: of these policies in place if he wins. The best 649 00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:35,640 Speaker 3: case scenario is actually he's incapable of doing any of this, right. 650 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,879 Speaker 3: I think that's a principle in Islamist circles from within 651 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:42,080 Speaker 3: Islam called takia. 652 00:35:42,320 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 2: Where you are, it is. 653 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 3: Not just morally permissible, you are obligated to lie if 654 00:35:47,239 --> 00:35:52,719 Speaker 3: it is in furtherance of the Jihad, just saying it's 655 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:53,319 Speaker 3: a real thing. 656 00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:55,360 Speaker 2: It's out there. So so. 657 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:58,360 Speaker 3: But to your point, Clay, leftists have been doing takia 658 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,000 Speaker 3: for as long as there's been a left. I mean, 659 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,480 Speaker 3: they whatever they got to say, whatever they have to pretend, 660 00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:06,120 Speaker 3: especially when it comes to election time. This is how 661 00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:08,880 Speaker 3: they gain democracy, right, This is how they get to 662 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 3: the you know, one vote, one man, one time, and 663 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,799 Speaker 3: that's the hope here is that eventually they'll be able 664 00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,719 Speaker 3: to control the whole system.
