We've seen what's happening with the 6 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: zoron Mamdanie. He's out there like spouting that he wants 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 2: this crazy socialism and people are jumping on this bandwagon. 8 00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: We don't understand it. 9 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 2: So we found one of his colleagues in the New 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,160 Speaker 2: York Assembly, New York Republican State Assemblyman Jake Blumenkrantz. Thank 11 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: you so much for coming on the program. What is happening? 12 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 3: Tudor? Thank you so much for having me on your program. 13 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 3: And it is pretty unbelievable to see the momentum and 14 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 3: the trajectory of this election thus far with my colleague 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,480 Speaker 3: zoron Mondami and the way he's been able to captivate 16 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 3: New Yorkers. I think it speaks volumes for the way 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 3: the Democratic Party has become so detached from their own 18 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 3: base in New York and the fact that we as 19 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 3: Republicans have not been messaging correctly in cities like New York. 20 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 3: But most importantly, it's it's scary to see the way 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: that the message that he holds, the ideals that he 22 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 3: hopes to espouse throughout this campaign and as Mayor, have 23 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 3: captivated so many. 24 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,280 Speaker 2: I think what totally shocks me about this guy is 25 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: he's like a real scumbag when it comes to women. 26 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: He was one of the few people that voted against 27 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: the revenge Porn law to protect women against revenge porn, 28 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 2: and he's come out and he's been a huge advocate 29 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 2: of I'm going to use air quotes sex work, which 30 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: is prostitution, and that to me is horrifying because you 31 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 2: have somebody who doesn't want women protected. He's actually voted 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 2: against laws to protect women against being abused by men. 33 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: And when you legalize prostitution, like he wants to do 34 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 2: in the City of New York, you essentially create a 35 00:01:55,680 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 2: slave system where women are the slaves to whoever decides 36 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: to become a pimp. I just am like, how does 37 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: this happen? How do people jump on? How does he 38 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: have so many women that follow him when he has 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 2: this terrible policy for women. 40 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 3: I don't think it even comes down to just women, 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 3: and I think it comes down to a little bit 42 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 3: more of the way he's been campaigning. So he speaks 43 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 3: to two audiences at a very high volume. He speaks 44 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 3: to the ultra left, the DSA as they're called to 45 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 3: in New York, to the Democratic Socialist which is the 46 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 3: party that he ran with along with running as a Democrat, 47 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:33,079 Speaker 3: And he also has a bit of a religious conservative 48 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 3: islam focused group that has a large population here in 49 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: New York as well, and he speaks to both at 50 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 3: the same time but delivers very different messages. So he 51 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 3: is a sponsor on legislation in the New York State 52 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 3: Assembly to legalize sex work in a much much greater 53 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 3: capacity than we've ever seen in any proposal ever in America, 54 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 3: while he also speaks to this religious group as he's 55 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: going to bring you a more conservative blend, this first 56 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 3: Muslim in office in New York City in the way 57 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: that he'd be serving, and it doesn't make any sense. 58 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 3: And you see that in some of the I think 59 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 3: there's a viral moment where Cuomo says, this guy's going 60 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 3: to legalize sex work and these Islamic cleric is like, well, 61 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 3: that's absolutely not true. I've bet my life on it. 62 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,679 Speaker 3: When he's a sponsor on in the Assembly. I think 63 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 3: what he's leaving behind and his message one New York 64 00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 3: has been leaving behind is systematically we think that, you know, 65 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 3: these individuals in the left are going to protect women 66 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 3: in a greater way than those on the right. But 67 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 3: New York, the statistics have not been lying. New York 68 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 3: has in the last decade only one hundred and thirty 69 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,119 Speaker 3: two cases where convictions of sex trafficking statutes were applied 70 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: out of the two hundred and thirty three of those 71 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 3: same try those same cases that were pleded down, So 72 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 3: we have a sixty percent lower rate in which we 73 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 3: are convicting than the federal government. The federal government is 74 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: consistently doing better than the state when it comes to 75 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 3: these convictions on sex trafficking crimes. And there is no 76 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: plan in place under Zoron's leadership, or under state leadership 77 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: under Artist James or any of the das or AG's 78 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 3: in New York State on the left who are not 79 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: actually tackling this issue. So we really need to focus 80 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: on if we are going to even have a conversation 81 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: about what we're going to do when it comes to 82 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 3: sex work, if we're not talking about trafficking in the 83 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: way trafficking what I was going to say. 84 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 1: A problem, But okay, so what is the plan? 85 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 2: What is the plan for what they will do using 86 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,719 Speaker 2: New York City because we know a lot of immigrants 87 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 2: are coming there. 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: They're like calling the illegal immigrants there. 89 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: We know that that is a huge area where we 90 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 2: have a big sex trafficking problem. How do you manage this? 91 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: Is this going to be the hub for them to 92 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 2: abuse children? Because we're trying to figure out how this 93 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 2: is happening, and it seems like they're just zoron. 94 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: Mom. 95 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 2: Donnie is just calling all the scumbags to New York 96 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 2: to say, hey, we want to make sure that kids 97 00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 2: are as unsafe as they possibly could be. 98 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: Well, Tutor, I don't know if you saw recently there's 99 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: a viral moment in which someone was pulled over in 100 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 3: another state with a New York state license with a 101 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: name on the license as no name that was their 102 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,480 Speaker 3: name and the license. The green light laws have allowed 103 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 3: for individuals here in New York to basically get access 104 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:19,040 Speaker 3: to services, access to licenses without virtually any identification as 105 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 3: all so a form of protection to them, but the 106 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 3: people they leave behind are those who will end up 107 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: being trafficked like this, are people who will end up 108 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 3: being forced into work, forced into sex work. I worked 109 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 3: when I was younger in a district court, in a 110 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 3: county court rather here, where we had an adolescent diversion program, 111 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 3: and we would just systematically see individuals who've been stuck 112 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: in this cycle, who are just being let in, they 113 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: were let out to services were not being provided in 114 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 3: the way they needed to. And that entire system has 115 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 3: just become institutionalized by the state, and you'll see it 116 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 3: spread because if you can come in here, get a license, 117 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 3: get legitimacy in New York State, and then spread around 118 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 3: the country. These programs are toxic, then they lead to 119 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 3: people going everywhere with the backing of New York State. 120 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: How did he go from nobody knowing him to suddenly 121 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: being the Democrat candidate for mayor. 122 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 3: It's a great question. I think that he hit a 123 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: nerve because in New York City, party boss system of 124 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 3: politics has allowed for there to be a festering discontent 125 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 3: with the democratic process and Democrats in general. So in 126 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,720 Speaker 3: a lot of these races for Assembly and senator state houses, 127 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 3: we're seeing less than a corter of one percent electing 128 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 3: the individual who's going to represent them because there's so 129 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 3: much fatigue towards politics without any real representation, and so 130 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,160 Speaker 3: you're having the DSA run against Democrats in a primary. 131 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 3: The Republicans aren't even putting up a candidate against them 132 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: because we don't even have the institution to run candidates 133 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,839 Speaker 3: in the way that we could. And they can either 134 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 3: defeat incumbents with just a few hundred votes, or they 135 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: can win races unimpeded and they're able to go to 136 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,160 Speaker 3: the State House and just wreak havoc on the institutions 137 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:00,280 Speaker 3: that we hold dear well. 138 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 2: I mean, even Schumer is afraid of AOC right now. 139 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 2: So we're talking about a statewide race for a federal office, 140 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: and you've got someone who I guess in this world 141 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 2: is a more moderate Democrat who's now afraid of them. 142 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 2: I would say, one of the most radical Democrats in 143 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 2: federal office right now. And people are saying in New York, 144 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 2: we think that she could actually win. I mean, Hakim Jeffries, 145 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: he doesn't even know what to say. He's like at 146 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 2: a complete loss because he doesn't want to lose his race. 147 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: But your state has become like in love with socialism. 148 00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 3: How is this possible? Well, it's kind of an interesting 149 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 3: dynamic here in New York. You have the very very 150 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: moderate Democrats who exist in the suburbs, and then you 151 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 3: have the very very radical far left Democrats and DSA 152 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: members who are in the cities. Not unlike many other states. 153 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: I just say that that scale has been tilted through 154 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: legislation on a state level that has sort of dis 155 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 3: in framedranchise the voter, whether it be through jerry mandering 156 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 3: on New York State's level, which has been very robust, 157 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: or it's been the way that they have used the 158 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 3: courts to eliminate moderate candidates and to silence moderates who 159 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 3: are trying to win in at risk districts. They've done 160 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: so in such a way that New Yorkers are left 161 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: with a race to the race to the left with 162 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: no finish line, and that race to the left will 163 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: continue to hurt New Yorkers. 164 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 2: We've got more coming up with New York Republican State 165 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: Assemblyman Jake Blumenkranz. But first I want to tell you 166 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: about my awesome new partner rough Greens. It was like 167 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 2: three months ago I met the owner of Rough Greens, 168 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 2: and he asked if I had a dog, and I 169 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 2: totally reluctantly said, I do have a dog, but he 170 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: is like such a mess. 171 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 1: And my dog was such a mess, itchy. 172 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 2: He had flaky skin, he had a terrible smell, and 173 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 2: I mean, I was. 174 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: Like legitimately embarrassed to tell him. 175 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: And I don't even know why I told him that 176 00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: he was such a mess. But he looked at me 177 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: and he was like, I can fix him. And I 178 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,839 Speaker 2: looked at him and said, it's impossible. I have done everything. 179 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 2: I have taken him to vet after vet after vet. 180 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 2: He's on a steroid, he's been on medications, He's on 181 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 2: everything you can possibly be on. And this dog is 182 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 2: still so itchy. He itches in my bedroom all night. 183 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,480 Speaker 2: He cannot be fixed. And he said, give me ninety days, 184 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,560 Speaker 2: ninety days of Rough Greens. I sprinkle it on his food. 185 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 2: After ninety days, this dog is so much better. I mean, 186 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 2: he had parts of his body that actually were hairless 187 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 2: because he had rubbed all of the hair off of 188 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: his body. And he is no longer hairless. He is 189 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: in such good shape. He is doing so much better, 190 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 2: and it is all thanks to Rough Greens. So listen, 191 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 2: I don't just recommend rough Greens. I literally depend on 192 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: it to keep my dog healthy and happy.

I 204 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 2: just don't get it at all. Because I look at 205 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 2: I mean, New York has become so much more dangerous. 206 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,079 Speaker 2: I lived there in the nineties and now I look 207 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 2: at New York City today, it's totally different than when 208 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: I live there. It's because way more dangerous. You have 209 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: a massive amount of crime, and that seems to be 210 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,200 Speaker 2: something that people aren't even concerned about you've got hotels 211 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,720 Speaker 2: have been taken over by illegals. I mean, my gosh, 212 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 2: you even kill people's family squirrel. I like, how is 213 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: this possible that everybody's like, Oh, it's lovely here. 214 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah. I mean New York has always been a bastion 215 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 3: of the capitalist ideal. New York has been the come 216 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 3: with nothing and you can make everything place. It's a 217 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 3: place where you can bootstrap your way from nothing to everything. 218 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 3: That has been the American dream has been the New 219 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 3: York dream, and New York has been the stepping stone 220 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 3: to go anywhere in the country and do anything you want, 221 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 3: or to make it here. And if you can make 222 00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 3: it here, you can make it anywhere, right, as they say. 223 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 3: But what has happened is we've systematically forgotten history. And 224 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 3: I think while Zorn at his time in college, I 225 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 3: guess this is only experienced before running for the Assembly. 226 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: That's another thing. How does somebody I mean, just the 227 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: fact that you just pointed that out. 228 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 2: This is like a college graduate going to run the 229 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 2: biggest city in the country. 230 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 1: It's insane. 231 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 3: Not just the biggest city, one of the largest armed 232 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,719 Speaker 3: forces organizations in the cut in the world, one of 233 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 3: the largest standing armies and doing so with what I 234 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 3: would say is and what I was trying to say 235 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 3: is that he must have gotten an a in pr 236 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 3: because he delivers his message in a way that he 237 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 3: really speaks to people. And I think minus and F 238 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 3: minus in history. He does not look at the way 239 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 3: New York has been run in the past, the way 240 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,199 Speaker 3: New York progressives have done well and have done poorly 241 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,880 Speaker 3: in the past. One of his biggest positions he wants 242 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 3: to do is he wants to liberate the ability for 243 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: New York to debt spend now. In the seventies and 244 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 3: the Dinkins era when they did that before they bankrupted 245 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: the city services were eliminated, they started with good ideals 246 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,560 Speaker 3: and they ended with you know where we're where subsidies 247 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 3: are going to be cut, where we're going to start 248 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: cutting services. That is the New York that he inherited 249 00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 3: is one that has financially sound as much as it 250 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: struggles today, and he helps to liberate that. He needs 251 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 3: the state to open the coffers up to let him 252 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 3: spend as much as he wants to solve today's problem 253 00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 3: with tomorrow's money. And if you look at Chicago, if 254 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: you look at some other inner cities that are just 255 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 3: in a downward spiral. You could see America's greatest city 256 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,480 Speaker 3: fall into the same category if we don't stop him 257 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 3: now in his tracks. 258 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 2: I think you give him too much credit by saying 259 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 2: he doesn't know history. I actually think that this guy 260 00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,199 Speaker 2: has a nefarious plan. I don't think that he's naive. 261 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 2: I think he comes from a family of Marxists and 262 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: his plan is to disrupt and destroy. 263 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 3: I'd say you're not incorrect in that his plan is 264 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 3: nefarious and he is not someone to be undermined that 265 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 3: he doesn't understand. I think what I always say about 266 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 3: Zorin is he means what he says, and he says 267 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 3: what he means. When he says he's going to legalized 268 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 3: sex work, he's going to legalized sex work. When he 269 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 3: says that he's going to freeze rents and stop construction 270 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 3: of housing or seize the means of production, those are 271 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 3: tactful virtue signaling language mechanisms that he's using to speak 272 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 3: to certain audiences. That's how he's attracting the Soros money 273 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: of the world. That's how he's attracting the outside funds 274 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 3: he's getting from nefarious sources. It is totally calculated play. 275 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 3: And if he gets his foot in the doors round 276 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:04,959 Speaker 3: a city like New York, this guy is the limit 277 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 3: for someone like him with his tactle messaging. 278 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 2: I mean, and he's been groomed since college. Obviously he's 279 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: not very old, but he has been groomed in college. 280 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 2: I mean, he was a part of the Democrats Socialists 281 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,840 Speaker 2: in college. He started this his parents, as I noted, 282 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: his parents have this same ideology, if not worse, and 283 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: potentially he is the same and he will take this 284 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: to a different level. But I just think that it's 285 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: so bizarre to me to watch how he goes into 286 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 2: one group and he's got a different accent, he's got 287 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 2: a different style of dress. He's like, I mean, people 288 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 2: are calling him sham Donnie because he's just not even 289 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 2: we don't even know who this guy is. You talk 290 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: about him getting a great grade in PR. I mean, 291 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,480 Speaker 2: I think it's just acting. I think he just puts 292 00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 2: on a great show. And his mother is an actress 293 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: and filmmaker. I think they've been able to pull the 294 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 2: wool over the eyes of New Yorkers, and I just 295 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,160 Speaker 2: can't understand how it was possible, but I think that 296 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 2: the outcome will be detrimental for all of us. 297 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 3: Tutor For me, I think what's scared to do is 298 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 3: look at his record in the State Assembly. So what 299 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 3: has he introduced? What work has he done there to 300 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 3: try and make New York a better place. Now, I'm 301 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 3: a Jewish New Yorker like many here. There's a lot 302 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: of us in New York State and in New York City. 303 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: Watch out, I don't think he likes you. 304 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: And no, and I'll tell you why. He has a 305 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: piece of legislation called not on Our Dime. Now it 306 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 3: may sound you know, what does this do? What is 307 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: exactly this going to do to the Jewish community here? 308 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: His idea was in order to stop the support of 309 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,880 Speaker 3: the State of Israel. He wants to allow the AG 310 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 3: to be boots on the ground closing institutions with tax 311 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 3: exemp status who do support the State of Israel in 312 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 3: any capacity. So, for me, my temple, if you go 313 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,640 Speaker 3: on birthright, if you're just a Jewish person who supports, 314 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 3: you know, programs that allow for planting trees in Israel, 315 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 3: which almost every single synagogue does, you may fall into 316 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 3: the scopes of government to close your religious institution. Now, 317 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 3: that is one of the scariest pieces of legislation I 318 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 3: had to encounter. And when I saw a room full 319 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 3: of legislators who I never thought would actively fight against me, 320 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 3: my religion, who I am, and what I stand for 321 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 3: on a religious basis, it's a scary time to be 322 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 3: combating messaging on a political standpoint, because now it's transcended 323 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: into what's inherently against her constitution. I mean, what would 324 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 3: our founders wait, he sponsored this legislation. This was his 325 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 3: He is the prime sponsor of this. Not on our dime, 326 00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 3: is his legislation. It would empower the AG to close 327 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,920 Speaker 3: religious Jewish institutions if they supported something he doesn't. He 328 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 3: is a person who wants to end the conversation if 329 00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 3: he doesn't agree with you, and he wants to do 330 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 3: so in a way where he will use the power 331 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 3: of the state, the same way many other socialist and 332 00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: ideology driven populist candidates have so many times, time and 333 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 3: time again. I mean, you can look at so many 334 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 3: examples on history and. 335 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: That did pass or is not that has not passed. 336 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,640 Speaker 3: Thankfully, a lot of forces in the state level thought 337 00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 3: that there was no way that anyone would ever believe 338 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 3: that this would be even possible to pass with any 339 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 3: sort of public support. What scares me is with a 340 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 3: Zoron victory in November, when we meet in January, I 341 00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: can see that coming to the forefront of the conversation. 342 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,239 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think that New York mayor is the 343 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 2: end for this guy. I think that his plan is power. 344 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 2: His plan is to change how the state operates. I mean, 345 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 2: the New York has what the largest population of Jewish 346 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 2: Americans in the entire country, and so if you can 347 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,400 Speaker 2: go in and you can destroy the religious the religious buildings, 348 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 2: the religious operations of the Jewish people in New York 349 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 2: and in the state, then you have a plan to 350 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 2: really hurt Judaism across the country. So if this is 351 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 2: his plan as a state assemblyman, and then he goes 352 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 2: to become mayor, I don't think that mayor is. 353 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:54,720 Speaker 1: The ultimate goal. 354 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,639 Speaker 2: I think that he goes on to be governor and 355 00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,479 Speaker 2: he goes on to continue to try to destroy I mean, 356 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,359 Speaker 2: I really believe that this guy is a destructive force. 357 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 3: I would agree, and I think it's imperative that everyone 358 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 3: on either side of the isle who seeks to protect 359 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:17,120 Speaker 3: the institution of capitalism, the institution of the American way, 360 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: and the way that we love our country. This is 361 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 3: a race with an antithesis of that, and candidates who 362 00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 3: stand to hope and support and facilitate that, whichever side 363 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 3: of the aisle you're on, whether it's and look, I'm 364 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 3: not a Cuomo fan by any means. I did not 365 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 3: think I'd be in a world where I'd see Cuomo 366 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 3: as an ideal candidate until you look at the inverse 367 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: of that. In every every single way, I mean, Cuomo 368 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,119 Speaker 3: has helped create so many of the problems that we 369 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 3: have and are experiencing today in trying to deal with 370 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,440 Speaker 3: Zorona and his faction and trying to satisfy them, only 371 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 3: for them to be consumed with a candidate like Zoron 372 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 3: who will not only destroy anyone who tried to be 373 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,480 Speaker 3: moderate and sit at the table with him and anyone 374 00:19:00,480 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 3: who tries to get in his way. 375 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,359 Speaker 1: That's what I think to myself. 376 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 2: I'm like, what kind of a world do we live 377 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 2: in where the actual rational people are saying, Okay, he 378 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 2: resigned in disgrace as governor, but you know what, he's 379 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 2: a heck of a lot better than what we have coming. 380 00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,600 Speaker 2: If New York ends up with a Mom Donnie Mayor, 381 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 2: I mean, this could be catastrophic. So now we're forced 382 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 2: to go with the guy that none of us would 383 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 2: ever choose, And yet it is still hard to get 384 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,560 Speaker 2: people to coalesce financially around him. There's a month left, 385 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 2: there's time. There is time to educate the people of 386 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 2: New York City on who Zoramandannie actually is. However, there 387 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: doesn't seem to be the money to do. 388 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: And I don't understand. 389 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,160 Speaker 2: I see these real estate moguls in New York going 390 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:49,399 Speaker 2: this can't possibly happen because he will destroy our businesses well, 391 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 2: I mean any business that is successful in New York City. 392 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 2: He has listed you as a target. He has said 393 00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: he will go after you. He has said he wants 394 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,040 Speaker 2: to take your money and make it hard for you 395 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 2: to live there. And yet they're not investing in the 396 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,239 Speaker 2: campaign against him. I don't understand what's going on. 397 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 3: Well, New York is a kind of a tricky place 398 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 3: because right now you're stuck with a lot of pretty 399 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,400 Speaker 3: poor choices, and that's kind of been a through line 400 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 3: in New York. Yet I can't make fun of Zorn 401 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 3: so much as being a young guy who entered the ring. 402 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:26,199 Speaker 3: In the elected world, I'm a younger elected myself, but 403 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 3: the system itself is broken here. I entered because the 404 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 3: system was broken. Young people were not being hurt. Young 405 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 3: people on our side of the aisle, the young people 406 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,840 Speaker 3: who here and understand the call of freedom and democracy 407 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 3: and the call to liberate our markets and allow the 408 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 3: state to actually do what needs to be done to 409 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: make sure we can have that era of success and 410 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,399 Speaker 3: of prosperity again, of allowing for more housing to be 411 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,880 Speaker 3: built in places where it should be allowed, for free 412 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 3: markets to do what they have to do to make 413 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,719 Speaker 3: sure we can bring down prices, and to have someone 414 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:01,959 Speaker 3: like him come into this this picture and call for 415 00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: government expansion as a way to not limit freedoms. But 416 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 3: inherently that's what he's doing. The way to expand. I 417 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 3: think he wants public housing to be built by the government. 418 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 3: We've seen Nicha now the worst and largest worst landlord 419 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 3: in the history of the country and continues to systematically 420 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 3: hurt its residents. People who live in Nischa buildings are suffering. 421 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 3: The government is the slowest and least responsive. There is 422 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 3: no real litmus test to whether or not they're doing a 423 00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 3: good or bad job, and they've allowed the buildings to 424 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 3: fall into a decay that we can't escape. And they 425 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 3: think throwing good money after bad is a way to 426 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 3: fix a broken system when it just simply has proven 427 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:40,119 Speaker 3: in New York it's not. 428 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: Let's take a quick commercial break. We'll continue next on 429 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: the Tutor Dixon Podcast. 430 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 2: One of the things that has made me very concerned 431 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 2: for New York City is his rhetoric against the police. 432 00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: He is very anti police. See he's trying to walk 433 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,639 Speaker 2: that back. I would agree, I would believe what he 434 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 2: says at the beginning. He's been anti policing since the 435 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: days of George Floyd. He is about having a social 436 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 2: workers show up to a domestic dispute. One of the 437 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,159 Speaker 2: most dangerous places to send somebody in the midst of 438 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 2: a domestic dispute, to not have a police officer with 439 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,639 Speaker 2: a weapon that can defend himself and the other person 440 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 2: in that situation. But he is totally against policing, and 441 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 2: that also is not getting enough attention. 442 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:27,359 Speaker 3: Why. 443 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: I mean, the police force alone, if they came out 444 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 2: and voted against him, would have a massive impact in 445 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: this election. Where are people when it comes to public safety. 446 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, I think you have a lot of people who 447 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 3: just feel sick at the system to the point where 448 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 3: they don't want to hear the rhetoric coming from the 449 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 3: Democrats anymore that yes, I support the police, but you 450 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 3: have had, even in this administration, relatively supportive one when 451 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 3: it comes to Eric Adams for our police institutions in 452 00:22:56,840 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 3: some capacity, and it won't change or move the need 453 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 3: unless you have full throttled support for increasing our police 454 00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 3: force in a way that is not based on any 455 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 3: sort of litmus test of diversity or anything else that 456 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 3: the programs that we've seen in place, but really just 457 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 3: trying to go back to the fundamentals the Giuliani era 458 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 3: of policing, the era in which in Bloomberg's time we 459 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 3: were talking about the nineties the early two thousands, when 460 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 3: New York was a place where you can walk around 461 00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 3: with your doors open, essentially, and those days are gone. 462 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 3: And in a post COVID era, you need a really 463 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 3: really strong signal and force to say we're not only 464 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 3: going to solve the problems of the past, but we're 465 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:38,520 Speaker 3: going to create structural changes for the future to make 466 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,120 Speaker 3: sure that we can actually make a New York City 467 00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 3: safe again. 468 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: It's not even just that you want to be able 469 00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,960 Speaker 2: to feel safe in your homes. I mean we have 470 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: watched over the past few years these attacks in the subway, 471 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:53,520 Speaker 2: these attacks on the street. It becomes so bad, and 472 00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,000 Speaker 2: then you have Eric Adams who said, I'm going to 473 00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 2: put police down in the subway, and it was interesting 474 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 2: to me that did cut down quite a bit. Having 475 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 2: just the presence, as you've seen in Washington, d C. 476 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: And now in Memphis, having just the presence of the 477 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,120 Speaker 2: National Guard there has significantly reduced the amount of crime. 478 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 2: I mean, Washington, D C. Has had no murders, no carjackings. 479 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: Just the presence of a police force around has a 480 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 2: massive impact. We've seen that in the subways. Like I said, 481 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 2: Eric Adams as mayor of New York has put a 482 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 2: police presence into the subways. 483 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: People didn't love that. 484 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 2: I will say there was pushback from New Yorkers like, 485 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 2: we don't want to see cops down here totally. I 486 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,360 Speaker 2: think that's totally insane because it has certainly cut down 487 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 2: on a crime. We were seeing people being pushed in 488 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 2: front of the trains, We're seeing people being attacked on 489 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 2: the subways. Certainly that's not ended, but it has improved 490 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 2: with Eric Adams making more of a focusing more on 491 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 2: a police presence once that all gets taken off the 492 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 2: streets hou quickly. 493 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: Do you see the fall of New York City? 494 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: Well, let me reframe it for you. And this is 495 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 3: where I think it's imperative and why why you vote 496 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 3: and who you vote for is important. I met with 497 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:15,679 Speaker 3: a shop keep in an outer borough relatively recently. He 498 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 3: was arrested and put in jail. The situation he was 499 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 3: in was he had someone in his store who was 500 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 3: stealing his merchandise, and they were stealing high value merchandise. 501 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 3: This is a merchant who needed this merchandise to survive, 502 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 3: who was a small business owner, and because this individual 503 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 3: was stealing his food, he ran out onto the street. 504 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:38,520 Speaker 3: He spoke to an officer. He said, officer, I need 505 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 3: your help. Someone is trying to rob my store. They said, 506 00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 3: we cannot answer your call on the street like this. 507 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,159 Speaker 3: You need to call it in. He called it in. 508 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 3: They said they won't be there for a long time, 509 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: if they are going to be there at all, because 510 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 3: that's the protocol under this small kind of theft that 511 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 3: they're having, so what does he do? He and his 512 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: individuals who work in his store. They held the guy down. 513 00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 3: He got arrested that day for imprisoning this person in 514 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 3: intil waiting for the police officers. That guy walked away. 515 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 3: That man was facing serious charges and we needed to 516 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: step in and make sure that he was going to 517 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,600 Speaker 3: be okay and that real justice was served. But our 518 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 3: laws are what let that man down that day. It 519 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 3: was not the fact that the police were not there 520 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 3: to do their job. It was not the fact that 521 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: there wasn't a policeman standing on the corner. It was 522 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 3: the fact that the laws had supported the thief and 523 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 3: not the ShopKeep. And that's the kind of trajectory that 524 00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 3: Zorn wants the city to be on. And that's the 525 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 3: scary part about having all the police, the largest standing 526 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 3: army in police force in America, doesn't matter if you 527 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,959 Speaker 3: don't have laws that support them handcuff our police from 528 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 3: doing their job. 529 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 2: This is what This is what I tell Republican Republicans 530 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 2: across the country who invest in these races, be aware 531 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 2: of what is happening in Blue and purple states, because 532 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 2: those people are getting elevated their bad ideas are being elevated. 533 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: These laws local elections. When you have some of these 534 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: radicals that are. 535 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,439 Speaker 2: Running for Congress or even state Senate and state House. 536 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 2: I mean in Michigan we have the same situation. We've 537 00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,399 Speaker 2: got this radical state senator. It's never met attacks she 538 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: doesn't like. Now she's running for Senate, for US Senate. 539 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 2: These people always get elevated. 540 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: This is why I. 541 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 2: Cannot understand why there is not a massive funding movement 542 00:27:28,560 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: against or on Mamdani right now. But they're just the 543 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,040 Speaker 2: Republicans are not paying attention to Once these people grasp 544 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 2: a little bit of power, and here he has in 545 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 2: the State Assembly, created this campaign that has launched him 546 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 2: into potentially managing one of the most important cities in 547 00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 2: the world. And then what will be next? I mean, 548 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,439 Speaker 2: that's the crazy part. Do you find it frustrating that 549 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,680 Speaker 2: you don't see the type of investment in the opponents 550 00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 2: on the good side that you do on. 551 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 3: The back, Well, of course it's frustrating, but it's also 552 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:07,119 Speaker 3: important that we look at where successes are coming from 553 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:11,240 Speaker 3: in Azor and Mandami. In many of these candidates in AOC, 554 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 3: what are they doing They're talking to people where they're 555 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:19,120 Speaker 3: at they are meeting people online in platforms, in parasocial 556 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 3: relationships that are important. I myself have been trying to 557 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 3: operate in a way where I can do something similar. 558 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: I think many young candidates are. How do you when 559 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,879 Speaker 3: I see issues when it comes to trafficking, I'm going 560 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,439 Speaker 3: to speak to people about it online, in person, anywhere 561 00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 3: I can, until they listen and they hear when I 562 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 3: talk about We've tried to audit our education system here 563 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 3: in New York. We have an issue where Holocaust education 564 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 3: is one of three topics that are acquired teaching here, 565 00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:47,520 Speaker 3: and you're seeing the city kind of neglect to teach 566 00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,360 Speaker 3: it in many places because people are graduating, they don't 567 00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,160 Speaker 3: know about the Holocaust. We want to audit it. They 568 00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 3: tell us nothing's wrong, and you can't. You can't say that. 569 00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 3: You can't say that they're not teaching, because then you're 570 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 3: going against teachers. We're not going against teachers. We're going 571 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 3: against the system that's ignoring the law, which is you 572 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 3: have to teach about Holocaust. And we need to make 573 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: sure we're ordering every single school so if there's a 574 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: deficit there, we can help understand where the deficit is 575 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 3: coming from. We're not making any accusations. We just want 576 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 3: to know why when someone graduates high school and they 577 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 3: don't know what the Holocaust is and it was one 578 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 3: of three required teaching units, what happened? Right? How do 579 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 3: you get that message to people when they're they're not 580 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,400 Speaker 3: less necessarily listening in the way they used to a 581 00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:25,040 Speaker 3: news cycle. We need to think differently, we need to 582 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 3: act differently. We need a couple of different messages for 583 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 3: different parts of the country. Tix isn't one size fits all. 584 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 3: I think you see in Michigan, it's a unique space. 585 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 3: You're seeing a very unique political environment that is meeting 586 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:41,640 Speaker 3: a very very unique geography and a very unique demographic environment. 587 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: We have the same kind of system in New York. 588 00:29:43,960 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 3: You can't just say, you know, red blue politics makes 589 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 3: sense in a one size fits all fashion. 590 00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 2: So, all right, the last thing, tell us what you 591 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 2: think is the future of New York City? 592 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: Does he win? Give us your your best guess. 593 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:01,600 Speaker 3: Well, I think if you even two way race between 594 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:07,000 Speaker 3: Assemblymen Mandami and former Governor Cuomo, I think there's a 595 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:11,160 Speaker 3: world in which a last minute change can happen. New 596 00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 3: York City is notorious for an eleventh Hour Shift. You 597 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: saw it was on you saw it with the Blasio, 598 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,680 Speaker 3: you saw it with Mayor Adams at times, and you 599 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 3: saw it time and time again in different elections. So 600 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 3: as long as the race is not split amongst the 601 00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 3: never zoron camp, which very well, maybe if we still 602 00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,760 Speaker 3: have a Republican candidate in the race, and we still have, well, 603 00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:39,320 Speaker 3: now the mayor has aptly departed from the race very recently, 604 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 3: you can see a consolidation that could put up a 605 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 3: real fight and think then you'll see money start to follow. 606 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 3: When the math starts to make sense. 607 00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 2: Well, we'll be praying here that we don't lose New 608 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 2: York City. But I guess there are some people that 609 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 2: feel if we do, then people will really learn about socialism. 610 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:58,320 Speaker 2: I'd rather we not learn that way. But I appreciate 611 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: having you on today.
