Speaker 1 (00:01):
Donald Trump ran on a issue that actually saw incredible
engagement in the presidential election cycle. It was the issue
of education. American schools are failing. In fact, we are
the lowest in many categories with the rest of the
world in reading and writing and arithmetic. There are quite
(00:21):
a few failing schools virtually everywhere you go in the country,
and public education has been a disaster. We've continued to
throw more money at it, and we've seen no increase
on test scores or a return on our investment where
students are getting better at the basics like reading, writing,
and arithmetic. The President has made it clear he believes
(00:43):
that the federal Department of Education is a disaster, something
that you cannot fix. Now let's be clear, the President's
not said that we can't fix education and he believes
it should be going back to the States. Well, the
President was in an Oval Office meeting and the conversation
came up about education, and here's what the President said.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
They're not doing a good job. And if you take
a look at take a look at our education process,
and if you look at the charts, because they have
numerous charts where they do the top forty, we're at
number thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine, and forty and
recently they hit during Biden's.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Last few days. They hit last, so they were number forty.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And yet we're number one in costs for pupil So
it's pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But we have a dream, and you know what the
dream is.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We're going to move the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
We're going to move education into the states so that
the states, instead of bureaucrats working in Washington, so that
the states can run education.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Now, this goes back to a basic promise that Donald
Trump had made during the campaign. He believes that on
the local and state level, they can run education in
a much more efficient way than the federal government can
with all of the corruption in Washington, d D. Which
brings me to something else. Linda McMahon, the Education Secretary,
has now come out and had a major round of layoffs,
(02:09):
gutting the Civil Rights Office as well the Education department
civil rights branches, losing nearly half of its staff in
the Trump administration's layoff round one, effectively gutting an office
that already faced a backlog of thousands of complaints from
students and families. They say from across the nation Among
a total of more than one thy three hundred layoffices
(02:30):
that were announced this per week, roughly two hundred and
forty in the Department's Office for Civil Rights were in
that group that According to a list obtained and verified
by the Associated Press, seven of the Civil Rights Agency's
twelve regional offices were entirely laid off, including Busy Hobbs
in New York, Chicago, and Dallas. Despite assurances that the
(02:53):
Department's work will continue unaffected, huge numbers of cases Democrats
now say appeared to quote quote being limbo. Insert fearmongering
right here. What democrats do well now. The Trump administration
has not said how it will proceed with these cases
being handled by its staff and many of those around
(03:13):
them that have been eliminated. The cases will involve families
trying to get school services for students with disabilities, and
that is something that Trump administration is said is important.
We also know, though, that the entire Department of Education
is well bloated and it's time to dismantle it piece
by piece so that the President of United States of
(03:34):
America can then hand control back to the States. It's
exactly what he said about Martin Luther King and his
dream now, which is to give every kid a quality
education and an education they can be proud of, and
an education that has a return on our investment, and
an education that prepares kids for college and the future.
(03:55):
We have far too many public schools in America, and
the presents made this clear that are handing out basically
worthless pieces of paper after you quote, graduate the twelfth grade,
even though you're not reading at that level, writing at
that level, or doing math and science at that level.
So for Donald Trump, this is another step in that
(04:17):
promise from his campaign, and a step that many parents
will be happy about in states when they actually get
back control of their public school system. Now back to
the fear mongering for just a second. Some staffers who
remain said there's no way quote to pick up all
of their fired colleagues cases in the Civil Rights Division,
(04:37):
many were already struggling to keep pace with their own
case loads. With fewer than three hundred workers, families likely
will be waiting on resolutions for years to come, they said, quote,
I fear they won't get all their calls, answers, their
complaints won't move. That's what a senior civil rights attorney
for the Office for Civil Rights said saying, quote, I
truly don't understand how a handful of offices could handle
(04:59):
the entire department officials, and says that the cuts will
quote not affect the civil rights investigations. The reductions wor
quote strategic decisions, is what the spokesperson, Madison Breiderman said
in a statement. By the way, this goes back to doje. Yes,
you can have an efficient government without all of the
people that actually have all of these ridiculous jobs. The layoffs,
(05:22):
by the way, are part of a dramatic downsizing directed
by President Donald Trump as he moves to reduce the
footprint he says of the overall federal government.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Trumps pushed for a full shutdown of the Department of Education,
calling it well a con job and saying its power
should be turned over to the States. On Wednesday, he
told reporters many agency employees don't work at all. Responding
to the layoffs, he said his administration is keeping the
(05:55):
best ones and the ones that don't work well, you're
fired cuts. The Office for Civil Rights will only have
workers in Washington and five regional offices, which traditionally take
the lead on investigating complaints and mediating resolutions with schools
and colleges. Buildings are being closed and staff is being
(06:15):
laid off in Dallas, Chicago, New York, Boston, Cleveland, Philadelphia,
and San Francisco, and many lawyers at the New York
City Office, we're juggling eighty or more cases, they now claim.
In one staff member said, we're all in tears. We
can't believe this is actually happening now. So many of
(06:38):
these people that are losing their jobs are well, of course,
they're crying foul because they believe that they're being persecuted
because of their work in public education. The Trump administration
again making it very clear it's time to get our
public education system back to the States, and if the
federal government is in the way of kids getting a
(06:59):
good education, then we should get the hell out of
the way. One other thing that I think is interesting
about all of these layoffs is this, even before the layoffs,
the Civil Rights Office had been losing staff even as
complaints rose to quote record levels. The workforce had fallen
below six hundred staffers even before Trump took office, and
(07:22):
they faced nearly twenty three thousand complaints filed last year
alone under Biden Harris. That is more than ever before.
Now you may ask yourself, why were there so many complaints?
Could it be that now it's actually in the interest
of anyone who's disgruntled to just claim a civil rights
complaint and see what you get out of it. Well,
(07:43):
apparently that's exactly what they were doing the final year
of the Biden and Harris administration. Now Trump finally is
also ordered to freeze on most cases when they arrived
at the department, adding quote democrats say to the quote backlog.
And when the Education Secretary of Lena McMahon lifted the
(08:03):
freeze last week, there were more than twenty thousand pending cases.
So you look at what Donald Trump just did. He's saying,
you can fear mongrel you want. It doesn't really matter
because I'm getting rid of the Department of Education. There
is a very divided country right now on the issue
(08:25):
of what is the place of government. And liberals, socialist,
Marxist and communists they believe the government is the solution
to everything. Conservatives like myself believe that the government is
the problem with almost everything, and that big government is
worse than anything else because it steals from the hard
working and gives to the poor, and many of them
(08:47):
are lazy. You look at just this last week, Elon
Musk said he's actually afraid someone's going to kill him
because of what he's uncovering about how much the government
takes and then gives to all these corrupt individuals who
claim they're helping the poor, like these these non governmental
agencies in goos Okay. So look at them for an example,
(09:08):
or as she's say, non governmental organizations. You look at
these NGOs and they claim they're helping the poor, but
really they're just helping certain people get paydays, like massive pities.
The corruption is unbelievable in these NGOs. And then you
look at like Zelensky for example, and Donald Trump said,
under Biden, Zelensky took money out of us like candy
(09:30):
from a baby. I believe, by the way that the
President is absolutely right in the way that he said that.
He also went on to say, I don't believe that
they are thankful for anything, like nothing. He was on
Maria Barturomo's show, and I want you to hear what
Donald Trump said when he was talking to Maria about
(09:52):
Zelensky about the money, because this goes back to thinking
which is everybody like all these liberals like, oh, we
just you know, we've got enough money. Send one hundred bion,
two hundred billion, three hundred billion here, five hundredllion here,
two hundred million there, one hundred fifty billion there, four
hundred billion here. It adds up right, like two massive
amounts of debt trillions of dollars, which is what we
have right now. And when Maria Bartiromo asked the President
(10:13):
was about Zelenski, like, how the hell did this guy
get so much money from us? Take a listen, go
back to.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
What happened in the Oval office the other day. I
call it a SmackDown of Zelenski. It looked really rough,
But then again, at the end of the day, you
may have your deal back.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So was that all the art of the deal?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
What specifically ticked you off?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Well, you know, he was able to. It was like
taking candy from a baby.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
What he did. He's a smart guy, and he's.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
A tough guy, and he took money out of this
country under Biden like candy from a baby. It was
so easy with that same attitude. And I just don't
think he's grateful.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
We gave him.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
In my opinion, three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Europe
is in for a hundred billion dollars. We gave him
three hundred and fifty billion dollars. And he's talking about
the fact that they have fought and they have this
a bravery because somebody has to use the weapons.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But without those weapons, So forget.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I was the one that gave him the javelins that
was able to knock down all the types. Obama gave nothing. Look,
if I were president, that would have never happened. You
wouldn't have had Russia going into Ukraine. You wouldn't have
had the whole situation with Hamas, and October seventh would
have never happened because Iran was broke.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
They had no money.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
They weren't giving it to Amas or Hezbil anybody else.
You would have never had the worst evacuation anyone's ever seen,
which is Afghanistan, which was the most embarrassing day in
the history of our country. And you know what else
you wouldn't have had. You wouldn't have had inflation. We
had record setting inflation under Biden. It was a killer.
You may get one of the reasons I won the.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Election, but you may get it again with these tariffs, right,
I mean once CEO said to me, my input costs
have already started to go up.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm going to have to raise prices in the meantime.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Guess what interest rates are down for the last three
or four days at good levels. I mean, you know
when you add interest rates you're talking about, it's gone down.
I've been saying, let's get interest rates down. You know,
nobody ever gets rich when the interest rates are high
because people can't borrow money.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Interest rates are going down. You know what else is
going down? What have I been trying to get down? Energy?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Energy's going down. I'd love to see energy go down.
You know, energy is really what caused it. They screwed
up my energy. I had the most energy and they
screwed it up. Then they went back to it through
it was going through the roof. They went back to
some drilling. But it was gone. It was it was helpless,
it was lost. But energy's gone down and interest rates
(12:54):
have gone out over the last week.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
That's a big thing. I love that.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Do you expect Zelenski to come back? Do you expect
to do that rare earth minerals deal?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah? I think so. I think it will happen.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Are you sure there's the content that you think there
is there, because some people were questioning if in fact
there is the you know, the titanium and the lithium
when all those battery the rare earth minerals, you think
it is rich with.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
The well I do, I do. I mean, I've had
a checked. I've had a check. It's very valuable. But
with all that being said, Biden should have never put
up three hundred and fifty billion dollars. He should have
equalized with Europe. Well he had to do is say
you got to stay even with us. They're in for
one hundred weren't for three point fifty.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
How does that?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And we have an ocean in between us, Right, We're
not in the danger that they are. They are much
greater danger, if you call it danger. He should have
never done that.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The other thing with the Europe that bothers me.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
They've given Russia more money by far for buying their oil.
Then they put into Ukraine. So they're paying all this
money to Russia and we're there for three hundred and
fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Biden should have never done that.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I spoke with the President of Poland. The other day,
President Dudah has great respect for you, and I said
to him, you know what if the US walks away
and stays away.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Without the United States, do you believe that Europe is
capable of offering meaningful security to Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I would like to believe it, but experience to date
shows that this has not been the case. The entire
history so far of the last three years of the
war shows that without American support, Ukraine will not survive.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Are you comfortable with that, the fact that you walked
away and Ukraine may not survive, Well, it.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
May not survive anyway, but you know, we have some
weaknesses with Russia. You know it takes two Look, it
was not going to happen that war, and it happened.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
So now we're stuck with this mess.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Think of what he stuck me with open borders, where
we have twenty one million people came into our country,
many of whom should not be here. Many are criminals,
many many are criminals, many murderers, murderers, drug dealers, drug lords.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
We got that.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
We have the whole mess with Israel and October seventh,
we have all of the ramifications from the worst and
dumbest withdrawal in history.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Both Ukraine and Israel were both attacked by aggressors. Is
America treating both countries similarly? Are they treating the aggressors similarly?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I think so?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Look good favoring one or the other.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
They're very different places, Okay, very very different. You're talking
about different levels of power. You're talking about different parts
of the world. The Middle East has been under attacked forever.
It's you look, whe wasn't it under attack? And then
we came along and did the Abraham Accords, which was
unheard of.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Have you been as tough on Russia as you've been
on Hamas? I mean, what do you want to say
to be much tougher?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Because I haven't done to Amos. That's been Israel. That
has to do to a moss. But Israel does tell
me what's going on. I think I've been very tough
to Russia, tougher than anybody's ever been to Russia if
you think about it. First of all, we had the
Russia Russia Russia hooks, which was a very bad thing,
could have led to a war, and that was started
(16:28):
by Schiff and all these low lives. I know, the
total low lives and it was a fake deal. The
fifty one intelligence agencies, it was. I took all their
passes away. They can't participate anymore. These guys know. It
came from hell. Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell, which came
from his bathroom and or his bedroom. Okay, not a
(16:50):
pretty sight, but this was a Hunter Biden thing. They
said it was from Russia. No, I've been very tough.
Remember this. I'm the one that stopped the Russian pipeline
nord Stream too.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I stopped it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Biden came in and he approved it. I'm the one
that put sanctions on Russia. I'm the one that gave
the javelins against Russia. No, I've been very tough, but
I got along well with Putin. And because I got along, well, oh,
they say, oh, he's so nobody's ever been Putin would
be the first to say it, nobody's been tougher than Drum.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
You listen to this foreign policy, and the reason why
I played that for in the long version is because
I think it's really important that people think about what
the present's saying there. What he keeps going back to
at a core point is that it's not our job
to pay for everything else of everybody else that does things.
(17:48):
It is not our job for us to send money
all over the world. Look at this last week, job
reports showed two hundred and eighty four thousand more Americans
working in seventy and excuse me, eighty seven thousand, few
or four born workers. Why is that significant because the
President's saying, I'm putting Americans first, I'm not in favor
of giving charity out to the rest of the world
(18:09):
that we're having to pay for money by the way
that we don't have. That's the difference here. I want
to take you back to twenty sixteen. It was the
very first time that the media and Democrats used Russia
to try to attack Donald Trump. You may remember the
Russian collusion, Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, as Donald Trump has
(18:30):
said countless times with good reason. Well, now the Democratic
Party is trying to use Russia again to undermine Donald
Trump in his popularity, all because he wants to see
a ridiculous war be ended between Russia and Ukraine. They're
trying to drive a wedge between the President and the
(18:52):
American people, claiming that Donald Trump favors Vladimir Putin. And
that there's some sort of shady, corrupt business going on
between the two men, which we all know is obviously
a massive lie, a lie that's been orchestrated by the
Democratic Party. Well, there's a new story that you probably
haven't heard about, and I hope you'll take this show
(19:14):
and share it everywhere, because what I'm about to tell
you is something that literally no one is covering. Donald
Trump has threatened devastating financial penalties now for Russia. I
didn't say Ukraine. I said for Russia and Vladimir Putin.
(19:36):
President Trump on Wednesday threatened the quote devastating financial penalties
for Russia if the president Vladimir Putin does not agree
to a ceasefire with Ukraine that Ukraine has agreed to. Quote,
there are things that wouldn't be pleasant. In a financial sense,
I can do things financially that would be very bad
(19:57):
for Russia. I don't want to do that because I
want to get peace. That is what Donald Trump told
reporters in the Oval Office. Quote in a financial sense, yes,
we could do things that would be very bad for Russia.
That would be devastating for Russia. But I don't want
to do that because I want to see peace, and
(20:19):
we're getting close to maybe getting something done. We got
Ukraine done, and as you know, Ukraine might have been
the more difficult party here. You were here a week
ago when some interesting things happen. Referring to the Zolensky
meeting in the Oval Office, Trump went on to say,
I had somebody who didn't seem to want peace. Now
(20:43):
he's agreed to peace. Trump also said people are going
to Russia right now as we speak, and hopefully we
can get a ceasefire from Russia. If we do, I
think that would be eighty percent of the way to
getting this horrible bloodbath to end. So the question that
all of us should be looking at and asking now
(21:05):
is this, why is the media not reporting this story?
Number one and number two? A president is trying to
bring peace. Why aren't they celebrating this? Why is the
world media not celebrating this? And why is it that
this isn't the number one leading story on every news
(21:25):
channel right now that the president got Zelensky agreeed to
peace after one week of him being in the White
House angry and yelling and arguing with Donald Trump. And
then the other question is this, why aren't democrats if
you really want to talk about Russian collusion, why, and
(21:45):
this may be the most important part, why are they
not demanding peace from Vladimir Putin? Why are world leaders
not demanding peace from Vladimir Putin? Let's be clear, there's
now an official deal on the t Why is it
that foreign leaders aren't walking out in front of microphones
(22:05):
and demanding the Vladimir Putin agreed to the ceasefire deal
which Zolensky and Ukraine have agreed to. And why aren't
any of them talking about how quickly this deal was
done by Donald Trump? Now, look, I expect the media
to hate Donald Trump. I expect many world leaders to
well be jealous of him. But this should be bigger
(22:27):
than that. This is about saving countless lives and so
many families that have been destroyed in Russia and Ukraine
in a senseless war from the very beginning. This is
what leaders do.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
They lead.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And the sad thing is apparently in this country right
now with our media. If his name is Donald Trump
and he does something incredible like work for a piece
to deal, they will at best say something negative about him,
or maybe just not tell you the story at all.
When the radical left tells you who they are. Believe
(23:02):
them when the radical left tells you what they believe in.
Believe them when the radical left shows up and does
something that seems absolutely psychotic and crazy. Understand that that
is actually what they believe. For far too long, what
we have been seeing is that we try to apologize
(23:24):
on behalf of the crazies on the left. We try
to apologize, which I say, no, they didn't really mean that.
We let them get away with it. We're constantly trying
to say that what we're witnessing, what we're seeing is
somehow not real, because we say, there's no way that
could actually be real, Like there's no way that someone
could actually believe that, Which brings me to my bigger point,
(23:47):
and I've been saying this for quite some time. The
Democratic Party is dead. The Democratic Party is actually filled
with a bunch of socialists, a bunch of communists, and
a bunch of Marxists. That is exactly who the Democratic
Party is. Finally, some of them are actually telling the
(24:11):
truth about who they are. And I'm glad because I
have said that the Democratic Party is it is dead.
But they've had to lie and to see voters for
several years now, because they knew that America really wasn't
ready for the Democratic Party to die and for them
(24:33):
to just go to the next phase, which was to
decide that you're a socialist and Marxists are a communists.
And so the Democratic Party is actually filled with candidates
that are those things. Now, let me be clear, some
of them believe in multiple different areas of socialism and
Marxism communism. Some are just straight up declared socialists, others
(24:53):
are just declared communists, others are just declared Marxists. But
the majority of the candidates right now in the Democrats
party fall into those categories. You look at the joint
address to Congress the other night by Donald Trump, and
you look at the left and whether it's those that
were disrupting early on, whether it's those that had their
(25:14):
signs and their boards up. Those aren't Democrats. The Democratic
Party has died. Those are socialists and Marxists running as
Democrats who got elected as Democrats because it's palatable. Well,
fast forward to twenty twenty five, and now we're getting closer,
I think to reality. There's two things that I've learned
(25:36):
from this last election with Donald Trump that I think
really explain a lot. One of them is it is
very clear now that Democrats have not learned a damn
thing from their lost They just haven't. Okay, they've learned nothing,
absolutely nothing from the brutal beat down and the loss
(25:58):
that they took in this last election. That's point number one,
because if they did, they wouldn't be acting this way,
and if they did, they'd actually be going backwards and going, Okay,
we need to reassess. We've gotten way too crazy, we
are way too extreme, and it's time for us to
bring it back to being Democrats, not being socialist, Marxist
(26:19):
and communists. Now, that's that has not happened. They have
learned nothing. Okay, Like I'm going to say that again,
they have learned nothing from this last election. So let's
let's be very very very very clear about that second point.
(26:40):
There are some that are now just saying I'm gonna
admit who I am. I'm just gonna be good with it.
The example I'm going to give you right now comes
out of New York City. Socialist New York City mayor
all candidate once to hike corporate taxes to pay for
loads of freebies. Now I'm glad he's admitting, like I'm
not I'm not really a democrat, I'm a straight socialists,
(27:00):
Like that's who I am. And this socialist mayoral Kennett,
his name is Zoran Mandandhi Mandani excuse me, wants to
raise corporate taxes to pay for billions of dollars of
freebies for New York, he told The New York Post
and exclusive sit down interview. The Queen's state assemblyman is
(27:23):
a thirty three year old set. His plans for his
socialists utopia involves subsidizing free transit and free childcare. How's
he going to pay for it? With higher tax on
corporations in New York City and establishing city run food
stores as well, so the government will be in charge
of your food supply chain in New York City. That's
(27:45):
not all he wants to do. He also wants to
hurt people that own property. How we do that very
simply by freezing rent. He wants to freeze that rent
for millions of New Yorkers and create a new safety plan,
as he describes it, for the city. The out of
nowhere candidate, who has been surging so pay attention in
(28:08):
recent polls, said his campaign has a quote relentless focus
on making New York City more affordable through a sizable
expansion of government. So big government is back, which he
says lies in direct contrast to the competitor, a guy
who you'll remember is the former governor of New York
(28:29):
who resigned in disgrace, Andrew Cuomo. We have a north Star,
referring to his campaign's economic agenda that is all driven
by the belief that working class New Yorkers cannot afford
to worry about anything beyond costs, because it's cost that
is pushing them out of the city that they love,
stating that one in four New Yorkers lives now in poverty.
(28:52):
Now what is this actually about. He's doing the math,
and he's understanding that there's a chance that he could
win an election only based on the issue of class warfare.
So you get the people that are struggling in New York,
and you get them angry, and you tell them that
it's the rich people that are their problem and it's
all their fault. You get people that can't afford to
(29:13):
live in the city, and you tell them that it's
it's the fault of the rich landlords that they can't
live there anymore, and they're and their rent should be
frozen indefinitely forever, and that the rent is You may
remember that the candidate who ran one time in this country,
I think it was the one that the rent is
too damn high guy, and people loved it because he
(29:35):
was telling you, like, I'm going to help you stop
having to pay high prices. So there, it is a
straight up move. For lack of a better way of
putting it, it is a It is a move to say,
if you are poor, vote for me, and I will
take from the rich. This is a robin hood campaign.
It's one of the oldest campaign strategies in history. You
(30:00):
find enough poor people and you play off of them
and you tell them that their life would be better
if you just voted for me, because I'm going to
go to all those evil rich people and I'm going
to take what they have, and I'm going to make
your life better by going after them. Quote. That is
all driven by the belief that working class New Yorkers
cannot afford to worry about anything beyond cost because it's costs.
(30:22):
It's pushing them out of the city that they love.
So there, it is if you are being left behind.
It's not your fault, it's someone else's fault. And if
you vote for me, I'm going to steal from the
rich this Robinhood campaign and give to the poor. He's
done the math. Folks, There's a hell of a lot
of people in New York that are in fact paycheck
to paycheck. There's no doubt about that quote. Whether it's
(30:44):
the cost of rent, childcare, or Metro card groceries, New
Yorkers are on the brink, he says. I'm on a
bashful that I lean to the left, and I plan
to advocate and raise corporate tax rates as much as
those surrounding states. I'm going to go after them because
they deserve to pay more. Not even fair, We're not
even We're past fair share. Okay, we're now saying everyone
(31:08):
else's it's everyone else's fault that you're not living the
life that you want to live. So vote for me.
I'll steal from the rich and I'll give it back
to you. Now, all the data that I just gave you,
I'm gonna ask you to share it on social media.
I'm gonna ask to share it with your family and
your friends. We do this show every day on social media,
(31:28):
so make sure again grab it, download it, and if
you get to see our videos on social media, please
share them because as you know that the big tech
suppresses everything we do here. And I'll see you back
here tomorrow
Donald Trump ran on a issue that actually saw incredible
engagement in the presidential election cycle. It was the issue
of education. American schools are failing. In fact, we are
the lowest in many categories with the rest of the
world in reading and writing and arithmetic. There are quite
(00:21):
a few failing schools virtually everywhere you go in the country,
and public education has been a disaster. We've continued to
throw more money at it, and we've seen no increase
on test scores or a return on our investment where
students are getting better at the basics like reading, writing,
and arithmetic. The President has made it clear he believes
(00:43):
that the federal Department of Education is a disaster, something
that you cannot fix. Now let's be clear, the President's
not said that we can't fix education and he believes
it should be going back to the States. Well, the
President was in an Oval Office meeting and the conversation
came up about education, and here's what the President said.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
They're not doing a good job. And if you take
a look at take a look at our education process,
and if you look at the charts, because they have
numerous charts where they do the top forty, we're at
number thirty seven, thirty eight, thirty nine, and forty and
recently they hit during Biden's.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Last few days. They hit last, so they were number forty.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
And yet we're number one in costs for pupil So
it's pretty bad.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
But we have a dream, and you know what the
dream is.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
We're going to move the Department of Education.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
We're going to move education into the states so that
the states, instead of bureaucrats working in Washington, so that
the states can run education.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Now, this goes back to a basic promise that Donald
Trump had made during the campaign. He believes that on
the local and state level, they can run education in
a much more efficient way than the federal government can
with all of the corruption in Washington, d D. Which
brings me to something else. Linda McMahon, the Education Secretary,
has now come out and had a major round of layoffs,
(02:09):
gutting the Civil Rights Office as well the Education department
civil rights branches, losing nearly half of its staff in
the Trump administration's layoff round one, effectively gutting an office
that already faced a backlog of thousands of complaints from
students and families. They say from across the nation Among
a total of more than one thy three hundred layoffices
(02:30):
that were announced this per week, roughly two hundred and
forty in the Department's Office for Civil Rights were in
that group that According to a list obtained and verified
by the Associated Press, seven of the Civil Rights Agency's
twelve regional offices were entirely laid off, including Busy Hobbs
in New York, Chicago, and Dallas. Despite assurances that the
(02:53):
Department's work will continue unaffected, huge numbers of cases Democrats
now say appeared to quote quote being limbo. Insert fearmongering
right here. What democrats do well now. The Trump administration
has not said how it will proceed with these cases
being handled by its staff and many of those around
(03:13):
them that have been eliminated. The cases will involve families
trying to get school services for students with disabilities, and
that is something that Trump administration is said is important.
We also know, though, that the entire Department of Education
is well bloated and it's time to dismantle it piece
by piece so that the President of United States of
(03:34):
America can then hand control back to the States. It's
exactly what he said about Martin Luther King and his
dream now, which is to give every kid a quality
education and an education they can be proud of, and
an education that has a return on our investment, and
an education that prepares kids for college and the future.
(03:55):
We have far too many public schools in America, and
the presents made this clear that are handing out basically
worthless pieces of paper after you quote, graduate the twelfth grade,
even though you're not reading at that level, writing at
that level, or doing math and science at that level.
So for Donald Trump, this is another step in that
(04:17):
promise from his campaign, and a step that many parents
will be happy about in states when they actually get
back control of their public school system. Now back to
the fear mongering for just a second. Some staffers who
remain said there's no way quote to pick up all
of their fired colleagues cases in the Civil Rights Division,
(04:37):
many were already struggling to keep pace with their own
case loads. With fewer than three hundred workers, families likely
will be waiting on resolutions for years to come, they said, quote,
I fear they won't get all their calls, answers, their
complaints won't move. That's what a senior civil rights attorney
for the Office for Civil Rights said saying, quote, I
truly don't understand how a handful of offices could handle
(04:59):
the entire department officials, and says that the cuts will
quote not affect the civil rights investigations. The reductions wor
quote strategic decisions, is what the spokesperson, Madison Breiderman said
in a statement. By the way, this goes back to doje. Yes,
you can have an efficient government without all of the
people that actually have all of these ridiculous jobs. The layoffs,
(05:22):
by the way, are part of a dramatic downsizing directed
by President Donald Trump as he moves to reduce the
footprint he says of the overall federal government.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Trumps pushed for a full shutdown of the Department of Education,
calling it well a con job and saying its power
should be turned over to the States. On Wednesday, he
told reporters many agency employees don't work at all. Responding
to the layoffs, he said his administration is keeping the
(05:55):
best ones and the ones that don't work well, you're
fired cuts. The Office for Civil Rights will only have
workers in Washington and five regional offices, which traditionally take
the lead on investigating complaints and mediating resolutions with schools
and colleges. Buildings are being closed and staff is being
(06:15):
laid off in Dallas, Chicago, New York, Boston, Cleveland, Philadelphia,
and San Francisco, and many lawyers at the New York
City Office, we're juggling eighty or more cases, they now claim.
In one staff member said, we're all in tears. We
can't believe this is actually happening now. So many of
(06:38):
these people that are losing their jobs are well, of course,
they're crying foul because they believe that they're being persecuted
because of their work in public education. The Trump administration
again making it very clear it's time to get our
public education system back to the States, and if the
federal government is in the way of kids getting a
(06:59):
good education, then we should get the hell out of
the way. One other thing that I think is interesting
about all of these layoffs is this, even before the layoffs,
the Civil Rights Office had been losing staff even as
complaints rose to quote record levels. The workforce had fallen
below six hundred staffers even before Trump took office, and
(07:22):
they faced nearly twenty three thousand complaints filed last year
alone under Biden Harris. That is more than ever before.
Now you may ask yourself, why were there so many complaints?
Could it be that now it's actually in the interest
of anyone who's disgruntled to just claim a civil rights
complaint and see what you get out of it. Well,
(07:43):
apparently that's exactly what they were doing the final year
of the Biden and Harris administration. Now Trump finally is
also ordered to freeze on most cases when they arrived
at the department, adding quote democrats say to the quote backlog.
And when the Education Secretary of Lena McMahon lifted the
(08:03):
freeze last week, there were more than twenty thousand pending cases.
So you look at what Donald Trump just did. He's saying,
you can fear mongrel you want. It doesn't really matter
because I'm getting rid of the Department of Education. There
is a very divided country right now on the issue
(08:25):
of what is the place of government. And liberals, socialist,
Marxist and communists they believe the government is the solution
to everything. Conservatives like myself believe that the government is
the problem with almost everything, and that big government is
worse than anything else because it steals from the hard
working and gives to the poor, and many of them
(08:47):
are lazy. You look at just this last week, Elon
Musk said he's actually afraid someone's going to kill him
because of what he's uncovering about how much the government
takes and then gives to all these corrupt individuals who
claim they're helping the poor, like these these non governmental
agencies in goos Okay. So look at them for an example,
(09:08):
or as she's say, non governmental organizations. You look at
these NGOs and they claim they're helping the poor, but
really they're just helping certain people get paydays, like massive pities.
The corruption is unbelievable in these NGOs. And then you
look at like Zelensky for example, and Donald Trump said,
under Biden, Zelensky took money out of us like candy
(09:30):
from a baby. I believe, by the way that the
President is absolutely right in the way that he said that.
He also went on to say, I don't believe that
they are thankful for anything, like nothing. He was on
Maria Barturomo's show, and I want you to hear what
Donald Trump said when he was talking to Maria about
(09:52):
Zelensky about the money, because this goes back to thinking
which is everybody like all these liberals like, oh, we
just you know, we've got enough money. Send one hundred bion,
two hundred billion, three hundred billion here, five hundredllion here,
two hundred million there, one hundred fifty billion there, four
hundred billion here. It adds up right, like two massive
amounts of debt trillions of dollars, which is what we
have right now. And when Maria Bartiromo asked the President
(10:13):
was about Zelenski, like, how the hell did this guy
get so much money from us? Take a listen, go
back to.
Speaker 5 (10:20):
What happened in the Oval office the other day. I
call it a SmackDown of Zelenski. It looked really rough,
But then again, at the end of the day, you
may have your deal back.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
So was that all the art of the deal?
Speaker 5 (10:32):
What specifically ticked you off?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Well, you know, he was able to. It was like
taking candy from a baby.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
What he did. He's a smart guy, and he's.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
A tough guy, and he took money out of this
country under Biden like candy from a baby. It was
so easy with that same attitude. And I just don't
think he's grateful.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
We gave him.
Speaker 4 (11:03):
In my opinion, three hundred and fifty billion dollars. Europe
is in for a hundred billion dollars. We gave him
three hundred and fifty billion dollars. And he's talking about
the fact that they have fought and they have this
a bravery because somebody has to use the weapons.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
But without those weapons, So forget.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
I was the one that gave him the javelins that
was able to knock down all the types. Obama gave nothing. Look,
if I were president, that would have never happened. You
wouldn't have had Russia going into Ukraine. You wouldn't have
had the whole situation with Hamas, and October seventh would
have never happened because Iran was broke.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
They had no money.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
They weren't giving it to Amas or Hezbil anybody else.
You would have never had the worst evacuation anyone's ever seen,
which is Afghanistan, which was the most embarrassing day in
the history of our country. And you know what else
you wouldn't have had. You wouldn't have had inflation. We
had record setting inflation under Biden. It was a killer.
You may get one of the reasons I won the.
Speaker 5 (11:58):
Election, but you may get it again with these tariffs, right,
I mean once CEO said to me, my input costs
have already started to go up.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
I'm going to have to raise prices in the meantime.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Guess what interest rates are down for the last three
or four days at good levels. I mean, you know
when you add interest rates you're talking about, it's gone down.
I've been saying, let's get interest rates down. You know,
nobody ever gets rich when the interest rates are high
because people can't borrow money.
Speaker 3 (12:27):
Interest rates are going down. You know what else is
going down? What have I been trying to get down? Energy?
Speaker 4 (12:33):
Energy's going down. I'd love to see energy go down.
You know, energy is really what caused it. They screwed
up my energy. I had the most energy and they
screwed it up. Then they went back to it through
it was going through the roof. They went back to
some drilling. But it was gone. It was it was helpless,
it was lost. But energy's gone down and interest rates
(12:54):
have gone out over the last week.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
That's a big thing. I love that.
Speaker 5 (12:57):
Do you expect Zelenski to come back? Do you expect
to do that rare earth minerals deal?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Yeah? I think so. I think it will happen.
Speaker 5 (13:04):
Are you sure there's the content that you think there
is there, because some people were questioning if in fact
there is the you know, the titanium and the lithium
when all those battery the rare earth minerals, you think
it is rich with.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
The well I do, I do. I mean, I've had
a checked. I've had a check. It's very valuable. But
with all that being said, Biden should have never put
up three hundred and fifty billion dollars. He should have
equalized with Europe. Well he had to do is say
you got to stay even with us. They're in for
one hundred weren't for three point fifty.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
How does that?
Speaker 4 (13:36):
And we have an ocean in between us, Right, We're
not in the danger that they are. They are much
greater danger, if you call it danger. He should have
never done that.
Speaker 6 (13:45):
You know.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
The other thing with the Europe that bothers me.
Speaker 4 (13:48):
They've given Russia more money by far for buying their oil.
Then they put into Ukraine. So they're paying all this
money to Russia and we're there for three hundred and
fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
Biden should have never done that.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
I spoke with the President of Poland. The other day,
President Dudah has great respect for you, and I said
to him, you know what if the US walks away
and stays away.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Here's what he said.
Speaker 5 (14:15):
Without the United States, do you believe that Europe is
capable of offering meaningful security to Ukraine?
Speaker 6 (14:24):
I would like to believe it, but experience to date
shows that this has not been the case. The entire
history so far of the last three years of the
war shows that without American support, Ukraine will not survive.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Are you comfortable with that, the fact that you walked
away and Ukraine may not survive, Well, it.
Speaker 4 (14:46):
May not survive anyway, but you know, we have some
weaknesses with Russia. You know it takes two Look, it
was not going to happen that war, and it happened.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
So now we're stuck with this mess.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Think of what he stuck me with open borders, where
we have twenty one million people came into our country,
many of whom should not be here. Many are criminals,
many many are criminals, many murderers, murderers, drug dealers, drug lords.
Speaker 3 (15:15):
We got that.
Speaker 4 (15:16):
We have the whole mess with Israel and October seventh,
we have all of the ramifications from the worst and
dumbest withdrawal in history.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
Both Ukraine and Israel were both attacked by aggressors. Is
America treating both countries similarly? Are they treating the aggressors similarly?
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I think so?
Speaker 5 (15:38):
Look good favoring one or the other.
Speaker 4 (15:40):
They're very different places, Okay, very very different. You're talking
about different levels of power. You're talking about different parts
of the world. The Middle East has been under attacked forever.
It's you look, whe wasn't it under attack? And then
we came along and did the Abraham Accords, which was
unheard of.
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Have you been as tough on Russia as you've been
on Hamas? I mean, what do you want to say
to be much tougher?
Speaker 4 (16:06):
Because I haven't done to Amos. That's been Israel. That
has to do to a moss. But Israel does tell
me what's going on. I think I've been very tough
to Russia, tougher than anybody's ever been to Russia if
you think about it. First of all, we had the
Russia Russia Russia hooks, which was a very bad thing,
could have led to a war, and that was started
(16:28):
by Schiff and all these low lives. I know, the
total low lives and it was a fake deal. The
fifty one intelligence agencies, it was. I took all their
passes away. They can't participate anymore. These guys know. It
came from hell. Hunter Biden's laptop from Hell, which came
from his bathroom and or his bedroom. Okay, not a
(16:50):
pretty sight, but this was a Hunter Biden thing. They
said it was from Russia. No, I've been very tough.
Remember this. I'm the one that stopped the Russian pipeline
nord Stream too.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I stopped it.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Biden came in and he approved it. I'm the one
that put sanctions on Russia. I'm the one that gave
the javelins against Russia. No, I've been very tough, but
I got along well with Putin. And because I got along, well, oh,
they say, oh, he's so nobody's ever been Putin would
be the first to say it, nobody's been tougher than Drum.
Speaker 1 (17:24):
You listen to this foreign policy, and the reason why
I played that for in the long version is because
I think it's really important that people think about what
the present's saying there. What he keeps going back to
at a core point is that it's not our job
to pay for everything else of everybody else that does things.
(17:48):
It is not our job for us to send money
all over the world. Look at this last week, job
reports showed two hundred and eighty four thousand more Americans
working in seventy and excuse me, eighty seven thousand, few
or four born workers. Why is that significant because the
President's saying, I'm putting Americans first, I'm not in favor
of giving charity out to the rest of the world
(18:09):
that we're having to pay for money by the way
that we don't have. That's the difference here. I want
to take you back to twenty sixteen. It was the
very first time that the media and Democrats used Russia
to try to attack Donald Trump. You may remember the
Russian collusion, Russia, Russia, Russia hoax, as Donald Trump has
(18:30):
said countless times with good reason. Well, now the Democratic
Party is trying to use Russia again to undermine Donald
Trump in his popularity, all because he wants to see
a ridiculous war be ended between Russia and Ukraine. They're
trying to drive a wedge between the President and the
(18:52):
American people, claiming that Donald Trump favors Vladimir Putin. And
that there's some sort of shady, corrupt business going on
between the two men, which we all know is obviously
a massive lie, a lie that's been orchestrated by the
Democratic Party. Well, there's a new story that you probably
haven't heard about, and I hope you'll take this show
(19:14):
and share it everywhere, because what I'm about to tell
you is something that literally no one is covering. Donald
Trump has threatened devastating financial penalties now for Russia. I
didn't say Ukraine. I said for Russia and Vladimir Putin.
(19:36):
President Trump on Wednesday threatened the quote devastating financial penalties
for Russia if the president Vladimir Putin does not agree
to a ceasefire with Ukraine that Ukraine has agreed to. Quote,
there are things that wouldn't be pleasant. In a financial sense,
I can do things financially that would be very bad
(19:57):
for Russia. I don't want to do that because I
want to get peace. That is what Donald Trump told
reporters in the Oval Office. Quote in a financial sense, yes,
we could do things that would be very bad for Russia.
That would be devastating for Russia. But I don't want
to do that because I want to see peace, and
(20:19):
we're getting close to maybe getting something done. We got
Ukraine done, and as you know, Ukraine might have been
the more difficult party here. You were here a week
ago when some interesting things happen. Referring to the Zolensky
meeting in the Oval Office, Trump went on to say,
I had somebody who didn't seem to want peace. Now
(20:43):
he's agreed to peace. Trump also said people are going
to Russia right now as we speak, and hopefully we
can get a ceasefire from Russia. If we do, I
think that would be eighty percent of the way to
getting this horrible bloodbath to end. So the question that
all of us should be looking at and asking now
(21:05):
is this, why is the media not reporting this story?
Number one and number two? A president is trying to
bring peace. Why aren't they celebrating this? Why is the
world media not celebrating this? And why is it that
this isn't the number one leading story on every news
(21:25):
channel right now that the president got Zelensky agreeed to
peace after one week of him being in the White
House angry and yelling and arguing with Donald Trump. And
then the other question is this, why aren't democrats if
you really want to talk about Russian collusion, why, and
(21:45):
this may be the most important part, why are they
not demanding peace from Vladimir Putin? Why are world leaders
not demanding peace from Vladimir Putin? Let's be clear, there's
now an official deal on the t Why is it
that foreign leaders aren't walking out in front of microphones
(22:05):
and demanding the Vladimir Putin agreed to the ceasefire deal
which Zolensky and Ukraine have agreed to. And why aren't
any of them talking about how quickly this deal was
done by Donald Trump? Now, look, I expect the media
to hate Donald Trump. I expect many world leaders to
well be jealous of him. But this should be bigger
(22:27):
than that. This is about saving countless lives and so
many families that have been destroyed in Russia and Ukraine
in a senseless war from the very beginning. This is
what leaders do.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
They lead.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
And the sad thing is apparently in this country right
now with our media. If his name is Donald Trump
and he does something incredible like work for a piece
to deal, they will at best say something negative about him,
or maybe just not tell you the story at all.
When the radical left tells you who they are. Believe
(23:02):
them when the radical left tells you what they believe in.
Believe them when the radical left shows up and does
something that seems absolutely psychotic and crazy. Understand that that
is actually what they believe. For far too long, what
we have been seeing is that we try to apologize
(23:24):
on behalf of the crazies on the left. We try
to apologize, which I say, no, they didn't really mean that.
We let them get away with it. We're constantly trying
to say that what we're witnessing, what we're seeing is
somehow not real, because we say, there's no way that
could actually be real, Like there's no way that someone
could actually believe that, Which brings me to my bigger point,
(23:47):
and I've been saying this for quite some time. The
Democratic Party is dead. The Democratic Party is actually filled
with a bunch of socialists, a bunch of communists, and
a bunch of Marxists. That is exactly who the Democratic
Party is. Finally, some of them are actually telling the
(24:11):
truth about who they are. And I'm glad because I
have said that the Democratic Party is it is dead.
But they've had to lie and to see voters for
several years now, because they knew that America really wasn't
ready for the Democratic Party to die and for them
(24:33):
to just go to the next phase, which was to
decide that you're a socialist and Marxists are a communists.
And so the Democratic Party is actually filled with candidates
that are those things. Now, let me be clear, some
of them believe in multiple different areas of socialism and
Marxism communism. Some are just straight up declared socialists, others
(24:53):
are just declared communists, others are just declared Marxists. But
the majority of the candidates right now in the Democrats
party fall into those categories. You look at the joint
address to Congress the other night by Donald Trump, and
you look at the left and whether it's those that
were disrupting early on, whether it's those that had their
(25:14):
signs and their boards up. Those aren't Democrats. The Democratic
Party has died. Those are socialists and Marxists running as
Democrats who got elected as Democrats because it's palatable. Well,
fast forward to twenty twenty five, and now we're getting closer,
I think to reality. There's two things that I've learned
(25:36):
from this last election with Donald Trump that I think
really explain a lot. One of them is it is
very clear now that Democrats have not learned a damn
thing from their lost They just haven't. Okay, they've learned nothing,
absolutely nothing from the brutal beat down and the loss
(25:58):
that they took in this last election. That's point number one,
because if they did, they wouldn't be acting this way,
and if they did, they'd actually be going backwards and going, Okay,
we need to reassess. We've gotten way too crazy, we
are way too extreme, and it's time for us to
bring it back to being Democrats, not being socialist, Marxist
(26:19):
and communists. Now, that's that has not happened. They have
learned nothing. Okay, Like I'm going to say that again,
they have learned nothing from this last election. So let's
let's be very very very very clear about that second point.
(26:40):
There are some that are now just saying I'm gonna
admit who I am. I'm just gonna be good with it.
The example I'm going to give you right now comes
out of New York City. Socialist New York City mayor
all candidate once to hike corporate taxes to pay for
loads of freebies. Now I'm glad he's admitting, like I'm
not I'm not really a democrat, I'm a straight socialists,
(27:00):
Like that's who I am. And this socialist mayoral Kennett,
his name is Zoran Mandandhi Mandani excuse me, wants to
raise corporate taxes to pay for billions of dollars of
freebies for New York, he told The New York Post
and exclusive sit down interview. The Queen's state assemblyman is
(27:23):
a thirty three year old set. His plans for his
socialists utopia involves subsidizing free transit and free childcare. How's
he going to pay for it? With higher tax on
corporations in New York City and establishing city run food
stores as well, so the government will be in charge
of your food supply chain in New York City. That's
(27:45):
not all he wants to do. He also wants to
hurt people that own property. How we do that very
simply by freezing rent. He wants to freeze that rent
for millions of New Yorkers and create a new safety plan,
as he describes it, for the city. The out of
nowhere candidate, who has been surging so pay attention in
(28:08):
recent polls, said his campaign has a quote relentless focus
on making New York City more affordable through a sizable
expansion of government. So big government is back, which he
says lies in direct contrast to the competitor, a guy
who you'll remember is the former governor of New York
(28:29):
who resigned in disgrace, Andrew Cuomo. We have a north Star,
referring to his campaign's economic agenda that is all driven
by the belief that working class New Yorkers cannot afford
to worry about anything beyond costs, because it's cost that
is pushing them out of the city that they love,
stating that one in four New Yorkers lives now in poverty.
(28:52):
Now what is this actually about. He's doing the math,
and he's understanding that there's a chance that he could
win an election only based on the issue of class warfare.
So you get the people that are struggling in New York,
and you get them angry, and you tell them that
it's the rich people that are their problem and it's
all their fault. You get people that can't afford to
(29:13):
live in the city, and you tell them that it's
it's the fault of the rich landlords that they can't
live there anymore, and they're and their rent should be
frozen indefinitely forever, and that the rent is You may
remember that the candidate who ran one time in this country,
I think it was the one that the rent is
too damn high guy, and people loved it because he
(29:35):
was telling you, like, I'm going to help you stop
having to pay high prices. So there, it is a
straight up move. For lack of a better way of
putting it, it is a It is a move to say,
if you are poor, vote for me, and I will
take from the rich. This is a robin hood campaign.
It's one of the oldest campaign strategies in history. You
(30:00):
find enough poor people and you play off of them
and you tell them that their life would be better
if you just voted for me, because I'm going to
go to all those evil rich people and I'm going
to take what they have, and I'm going to make
your life better by going after them. Quote. That is
all driven by the belief that working class New Yorkers
cannot afford to worry about anything beyond cost because it's costs.
(30:22):
It's pushing them out of the city that they love.
So there, it is if you are being left behind.
It's not your fault, it's someone else's fault. And if
you vote for me, I'm going to steal from the
rich this Robinhood campaign and give to the poor. He's
done the math. Folks, There's a hell of a lot
of people in New York that are in fact paycheck
to paycheck. There's no doubt about that quote. Whether it's
(30:44):
the cost of rent, childcare, or Metro card groceries, New
Yorkers are on the brink, he says. I'm on a
bashful that I lean to the left, and I plan
to advocate and raise corporate tax rates as much as
those surrounding states. I'm going to go after them because
they deserve to pay more. Not even fair, We're not
even We're past fair share. Okay, we're now saying everyone
(31:08):
else's it's everyone else's fault that you're not living the
life that you want to live. So vote for me.
I'll steal from the rich and I'll give it back
to you. Now, all the data that I just gave you,
I'm gonna ask you to share it on social media.
I'm gonna ask to share it with your family and
your friends. We do this show every day on social media,
(31:28):
so make sure again grab it, download it, and if
you get to see our videos on social media, please
share them because as you know that the big tech
suppresses everything we do here. And I'll see you back
here tomorrow
