Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Doom and Gloom. I'm really glad to hear
that you had such a great trick with your granddaughter.
It's gonna be memories forever. I listened to your podcasts
from yesterday, and I just want to say, why do
you got to pour cold water on things that happen
good right off? Can't we have a little bit of
(00:21):
cheerleading on our side for at least a little while,
You know what, I love you guys, mean it.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
What did we start off with the doom and gloom
after we talked about the.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Trip, Well, you started talking about the peace deal in quotations,
So I see.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
There's a difference. I think there's a difference between doom
and gloom and just being realistic.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
About something, right.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I think that's more or less what he's outside about,
because you didn't he I believe he's saying, take the
winds when we can and celebrate the winds. So let's
celebrate the peace deal, the the ceasefire that's going on,
and just that give it its time to breathe.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Well, I think, okay, so let's think about how And
I actually find this interesting because I you know, I
love radio, because radio is such an intimate phenomena.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We're alone with you in your car, right, we're alone.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
With you in your car. But now it's gotten even worse.
Now we're alone with you in your ear. I'm in
your ear and you're listening to me laying in bed,
Or you got me in your ear as your drive
around town grocery shopping, or or or you're driving around
(01:45):
and your wife is sitting in the passenger seat bitching
and moaning at you, telling you how to drive everything else,
but unbeknownst to her, in your left ear, you have
an AirPod and you're listening to me and not her see.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Or you're torturing your kids like girl, dad.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Girl exactly. Or you're an sob and you're absolutely committing
child abuse, making you making your poor daughter listen to
us as you take her to school. And of course
she's ecstatic now about going to meet Maybe there's a
little madness here. She's ecstatic about getting school because she
can finally get out of the car and quit listening
(02:27):
to Brownie And oh my god, my dad just loves it.
But I don't get it. It's getting kind of weird
around here. Blah blah blah blah blah, but I love
the intimacy of radio. And then what happens is, so
the peace steel gets signed, Trump goes like on Sunday
to uh to the Middle East. Right, wasn't the Sunday
(02:48):
left Sunday or Sunday.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I think he was there Monday because he flew Monday
from the Gaza.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Israel to each the other day and then and then
came back and then yeah.
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Right, So I'm I'm in New York and I'm you know,
I'm seeing very little news. But when we go back
to the room, I catch the eleven o'clock news. If
we got back by eleven o'clock, or I'm at least
before I fall asleep, I'm getting on the laptop and
reading about you know, I'm reading that day's Wall Street
Journal and just perusing the news. Just it make sure
(03:20):
I keep up. So I did celebrate. I did. I
celebrated while I was in New York. As was that.
It was kind of interesting if you ever wanted to
see the the biases of the cabal. Fox News on
Sixth Avenue. By the way, here's another interesting thing about
(03:42):
my granddaughter. We're going, we're walking up sixth Avenue, and
I pointed over to the Fox News stations, the Fox
News building, and I said, oh, by the way, that's
where Fox News is. And her response was, you mean
like the Fox News we have in Denver. I'm no
longer this is the Fox News channel, this is.
Speaker 4 (04:02):
This is the this is not our local affiliates, but it's.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Not our local and then I had to describe local
affiliates and then she was like and she actually said
something to the effect well, why do I care? O
kainy of like, why do I care that that's the
Fox News building? It was beautiful? And I said, because
I've been in that building dozens and dozens of times
up there, you know, on the thirty you know, the
(04:27):
thirty second floor or whatever floor it might be on,
and you know, I've met Henry Kissinger in that building,
and you know, Karl Rove and I've had arguments in
that building and stuff. And I'm just trying to make it,
which I totally failed, but I'm trying to make it relatable.
And I'm also trying to somehow explain to her why
I just happen to be walking by, because oh, there's
a familiar spot to me, and you know, your your
(04:49):
grandfather's been in that building a lot, and she just
couldn't she could not care less, which he knows. I
didn't say she could care less, because that drives me
baddy when people say that because she could not care less,
had she had cared as less as she could and
there was no more to not care about it, No five,
(05:10):
no f's given whatsoever. So I'm looking at the Chiron
and it's talking about Trump's triumphant piece deal. I mean
that that was it. You go over to NBC, there's nothing.
There's absolutely nothing, because NBC is literally just about across
the street, just down the corner, across the street, and
there's nothing there. But the point being, I did celebrate
(05:34):
Trump's victory, but you guys just didn't hear me do it.
And then when I come back yesterday, I'm now back
to my realism and I want to, Okay, now that
we've all celebrated it, let's talk about how everything could
go wrong. I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer. I'm
just trying to prepare you that at any moment this
(05:57):
is going to go to you know, the S word,
and we're right back where we started doing.
Speaker 4 (06:02):
Just like Hamas sitting there going.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Like I had said, we don't know where the rest
of the bodies are.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
And as it turns out, did you see the story
yesterday And again I don't. I think it may have
been the Wall Street Journal, but one of the newspapers
I was bruising yesterday after I took a two hour nap.
Was probably never going to get the other hostages back.
Probably aren't gonna be able.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
To find them because they have no clue, no clue,
no clue.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
And even if they did, they've probably you know, if
it's been bombed, there's probably nothing there. You might be
able to find some bones, and maybe through DNA you
might be able to identify somebody, but yeah, it's probably
not going to happen.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
And you know they're going to turn around and go, hey,
the building was fine, All the hostages in there were
fine until Israel blood till Israel.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Blew it up, that's right. So it's all Israel's.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
It's Real's fault for blowing up their own hostage, right.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
It's all Israel's fault. So there, So I love the
fact that from your perspective it was all doom and gloom.
But i'd celebrated you, did you just didn't hear me celebrate.
You say, you take two days off and everything goes
to crap. Good grief, you people, But I'm glad you did.
(07:19):
I I looked for signs of the mayoral race in
now we were just in Manhattan. Obviously, we went over
and we went to the to the Bronx and Brooklyn
to get the LaGuardia. But the only indication of politics
(07:41):
that I found in Manhattan was we were on the
opposite side of Fifth Avenue. It would have been the
west side of Fifth Avenue where Trump Towry is. And
I got all excited. Like again, my granddaughter thinks I'm nuts,
But I said, oh, we got stop here? Why And
(08:02):
she thought it was because of Trump Tower. No, no, no, no, no,
I don't care about Trump Tower. You want to go
in there? No, I don't need that I be in there,
doesn't you know? Blah blah. Look at the protesters we
had people. We had some woman on a like a
a milk carton kind of box and she's standing on
(08:24):
that and she's reading her notes. Nobody can hear what
she's saying. She's just reading. She doesn't have a microphone.
These people don't know how to do proper protests. I mean,
for all, I guess that's why all they do is
just they they burn things down, they throw rocks, they
shoot and spit at you. They don't there no, there
(08:44):
was no chanting, there was no pa system, there was
no sound system. She wasn't even like looking up and
speaking to the to the crowd gathering by. It was
as if it was all just performative. Let's just go
hold a protest. We don't care whether anybody sees us,
hears us, stops and listens to us, or anything. And
(09:05):
of course the crowds on Fifth Avenue were just going
back and forth, not even listening, except for yours truly
and his poor granddaughter, because I had to stop and
see what the protest was about. They had people with signs,
very nice nicely. He made signs he's a sexual predator,
he's a convicted felon, he's a king, he's a tyrant.
(09:28):
And there were a couple of us. I forget about
the other two, but they were all standing next to
the woman on the soapbox. And of course she's stereotypically
I know this is horrible to me to say, but
she stereotypically looked like a raging lunatic radical leftist with
her little horn, rim glasses, reading from her notebook about
her diet tribe, about Donald Trump. And I finally get
(09:50):
a tug of my on my sleeve, like, uh, I've
had enough of this? Can we go? I'm like, don't
you want to argue with them? Don't you want to
say something? Do you already get you a pic? You're
gonna go stand over there and I'll get a picture
of you standing next to them, grandboo, let's go. I'm done.
I'm not gonna do it. That was the only really
political thing that I saw. I didn't sign. I didn't
(10:12):
find any Mom Donnie or Sliwa or Clomo posters. No,
I don't think there were no billboards that I recall.
There were none of the.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
No yard signs, well.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Yeah, there were yard signs everywhere, pounded into the pavement.
There were no yards. But I expected to at least see,
you know, the bills that they'll you know, for shows
and concerts and everything. They'll put on the on the
on the telephone poles, on the light poles.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
And maybe even a truck or two that you know.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
I didn't see me. Yeah, I never saw this truck
to go, you know that has the thin you know,
the advertising trucks they'll drive up and down the avenues.
I didn't see any of the I didn't see anything.
It was like there was no election going on whatsoever.
I was. I was actually fascinated by it, well ahead
of to my debate with Cuomo Sliwa and and I
(11:04):
think the future mayor of New York City, the Marxist Zofram.
I still think Zofram's the right word, Mom, Donnie. He
appeared on Fox News yesterday afternoon. Now, if you're expecting
a class of class of cultures, maybe fifteen minutes of
pure ideological arguing, you would have been disappointed. The anchor
(11:27):
for that particular segment was Martha McCallum. She did, she
asked some very tough pointed questions, but it was actually
a very respectful exchange between two New Yorkers who clearly don't,
you know, take vacations in the same zip code, who
don't even probably have an apartment in the same zip code.
(11:47):
Don't And don't get me wrong, I bet you think
I'm referring to Martha McCallum. No, Martha McCallum probably lives
over in New Jersey somewhere. Martha McCallum probably. I mean,
I'm sure she makes good money. I'm sure she makes
several meal tens or whatever amount of millions that she
makes every year being an afternoon anger on Fox News.
(12:08):
So I'm sure she does quite well. No, it is
zoefram Mondami mom donnie that is the Marxist socialist who's
a member of the Democrat Socialists of America. He's the
one that summers in the Hamptons. He's the one that
has the really nice, you know, entire floor of an
apartment or a brownstone somewhere on the Upper East Side.
(12:31):
It's him, not not the worker Bee, not not Martha McCallan.
That tells you all you need to know about how
Zoe fram mom donnie is nothing more than a limousine
liberal that's just doing this as a hobby. He's just no.
(12:52):
I'm sure he wants to implement his socialist Marxist agenda,
but he has as most Marxists are as. You think
about Sodom Hussein, Nicholas Maduro, Kim jong Un, Vladimir Putin,
you think of all the tyrants around the world. Yes,
(13:14):
I'm lumping zoefram Mondamium with them. You don't like that,
You're in the wrong station, You're listening the wrong program.
I plump them all together because they all have the
same bite, basic background, ideological values. He's living in the
Hampton or summering in the Hamptons. He's living in a
really nice, you know, flat on the on the Upper
east Side. Martha McCallum, she's trucking it in every day.
(13:36):
Now she may have a driver, but she's trucking it
every day going through the Holland Tunnel. She's trucking in
every day, trying to get across the GW Bridge. She's
you know, trucking in every day from from New Jersey.
And he's just taking a limo from wherever the you know,
the flat is in the Upper east Side to go
have dinner, you know, at Sardi's. That's what he's doing.
(13:57):
They're all like that. Now, having said that and having
watched the interview, it doesn't mean that the interview didn't
have value. There was value in the interview. But the
most amazing part came before the commercial break when Mom
Donnie said that it was too early, too early to
(14:19):
give President Trump credit for the ceasefire. Really, why is
it too we have to wait? Is he playing my
game of I don't think this is gonna stick or
you know, cease fires other than North and South Korea,
ceasefires don't tend to work out very well.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
No.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
I think it's because he's one of these that's been
screaming and screaming and screaming about a ceasefire. How Israel
is committing genocide, how awful and just you know, the
Jews are just horrible people. Let's just let's just cut
to the chase. Guys like him think that Jews are
just pigs. They just should be slaughtered, shoved off from
(15:06):
the sea, lemmings, pushed over the edge, wiped off the
face of the earth. That's who he is. And that's
why he thinks it's too early to give Trump any
sort of credit for a Middle East peace deal. And
I also think because they don't want a Middle East
peace deal. The only piece they won in the Middle
East is the elimination of Judaism. They went the elimination
(15:26):
of Israel. And he's one of these people. So when
Martha McCallum asked Mandami to denounce Hamas, He did exactly
what Dragon talks about. He instead invoked the crimes of
the Israeli defense forces. He said they had killed five
(15:50):
Palestinians this week. Now McCollum comes back with a McCallum
comes back with a really great retort. No, Hamas has
killed more Palestinians than that. But then he deflects. Of
course he deflects, because that's what they do. He said,
(16:11):
I have no issue in critiquing Hamas and the Israeli
government because my focus is on universal human rights. Huh.
This seems to be an oxymoron. This seems to be
a contradiction in terms to me, because if your focus
is on universal human rights, doesn't that include Jews and
(16:36):
so called Palestinians or Arabs or Gosins. Because if you're
focused on universal human rights, that includes everybody, doesn't it.
These people are so stupid, they really don't know half
the time what they're talking about. It's just words. All
it is is just empty words. And then he refused
(16:59):
to retract his call that we should have Benjamin Nett
and Y'ah who arrested if and when he showed up
for the UN General Assembly or comes to New York,
and he said that he would respect the judgment of
the International Criminal Court, which obviously has issued in a
warrant an arrest warrant for Benjamin Nett and Yahoo. So again,
(17:19):
Martha McCallum presses him. But Mandanni would not say a
single bad thing about Hamas. They're perfect, they're just misunderstood.
Why they don't you know, he's never really thought about
a moss. Now he's been out calling for a cease fire,
(17:39):
but when he refuses or is incapable of criticizing anything
about Hama. Look, I'll be honest as a Zionist, as
someone who loves the State of Israel, as someone who
has well, we have Jewish listeners. Should we admit that
we have Jewish listeners in this program? I know we
only have one, at least one, We got at least one,
(18:01):
but in the great you know, in terms of ratios,
that's probably about right, you know, get one, June. We
do we do? We have a black? Do we have
a gay? Do we have a Hispanic? We need we
need it, We need a demographic study, this audience. But
I want you to think about the International Criminal Court
and his thinkings about that. Good morning, Michael and Dragon.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Hey, Michael, really, this is your I'm sorry, this is
your fairy Drew Grouper, and I really really want to
thank you for the bottom of my heart for your
support forra Israel. Thank you so much. That means a
lot to me. And I'm sure all your other Jewish
for listeners thank you to take you Michael Israel height.
Speaker 4 (18:55):
I.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
It's none of our business, but Dragon and I both
want you to know that we hope you're doing well.
We you know, because one but we don't want you
to die regardless. We don't want, you know, the cancer
to get you. We want you to beat the cancer.
So we're we're cheering you on for that. But then,
(19:17):
being the jerks that we are, we don't want to
have to go look for another Jew to replace you.
You know that that's work, you know now, No, I
know you're everywhere. You know, we we we you know
we can just you know, just throw a rock out
somewhere and you'll you'll, you'll hit a Jew out there somewhere.
But I mean, the sad part is they're they're in
(19:40):
terms of just the ratio to the general population, they're
losing numbers every day. It's it's like World War two veterans. Anyway,
we hope, we hope you're doing well and don't go
away because well you're you're what keeps us in compliance
with the whatever it is. The yeah you know, no, no,
that's Ketanji Brown Jackson. We'll get to later about the ADA.
(20:04):
He keeps some compliance on the affirmative action programs. You
allow us to claim. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't know
that we have Do we have any Arabs? Do we
have any Muslims? Do we have do we have any
Islamic listeners? If if you're if you're a so.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Not only do we need a map of where all
the listeners are located, which you still need to get to, Michael,
but we need you know, a little checkbox list as
to who is what you know.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
I have a bugaboo about the map. My fear is
I get the map, we put it up, and that's
the day they fire me and I got what what?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
What doesn't mean you can't take your own map back
and still have all of the Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:50):
No, no, no, no, I know.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
But just be a reminder of you know, all the
great times that well I add, not that we add,
but that I add.
Speaker 4 (21:00):
So I don't bring anything to put on my desk anymore.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
I don't have anything out there on mine either. Let's
see where was it? He would not tell Martha McCallum,
he would not condemn Hamas. But let's go here. Interestingly,
why would you not condemn Hamas with her? But somehow
(21:27):
you decide to go on the view, and you do
you do that voodoo on the view first and foremost.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
You're right, I am running to be the mayor of
the city, and the city will be the focus of
my administration.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
Ensuring that what a brilliant statement. I'm running to be
the mayor of New York and New York's going to
be my focus. Well that's good. We don't want you
to run for mayor of New York and have new
York be your focus.
Speaker 6 (21:56):
I think the city everyone can afford, and everyone knows
that they belong to. Also, millions of New Yorkers, myself included,
care deeply about what's happening in Israel and palestime, and
so to be very very clear, of course I thnem Hamas.
Speaker 4 (22:08):
Of course I've.
Speaker 6 (22:09):
Called October seventh what it was, which is a horrific
war crume, and of course, my belief in a universality
and international law is also the same set of beliefs
that have led me to describe what's happening in Gaza
as a genocide person.
Speaker 2 (22:23):
Why why they're not here or why they're not there?
I it just fascinates me that this guy I have
no issue in critiquing Hamas and the Israeli Yemen because
my focus is on universal human rights. Well, then don't
(22:43):
you care about the human rights of the Israelis to exist?
And of course he wouldn't retract the statement that Benjamin
Nette Yaho ought to be arrested. Blah blah blah. He
does all of that. But then there's a second part
of the exchange about his plans for New York, and
it was actually the friendlier the two segments. I think mom.
(23:04):
Donnie said that New York should be the capital of
where working people can afford to live, and McCollum agreed
with him that the city was too expensive, and it is.
It's outrageously expensive in New York City. Everything is expensive.
I looked at my credit card statements yesterday. Holy crap, old,
(23:26):
I mean just like occasional taxi ride rides, like okay,
it's raining too much. Let's just take a cab boy
that adds up fast, and of course I try to
tip the cabby stew. You've done a lot to bring
people's attention to affordability, McCallum says, and he responds, well,
(23:49):
I appreciate that, but she didn't seem very keen on
his proposals to raise taxes on the wealthiest New York's
by two percent, or proposal to raise corporate taxes, which
we know that means that everybody New York willbay those taxes, which,
by the way, do you let us out of his
(24:09):
power anyway? Because New York does not set its own
tax policy Albany, the New York Assembly creates the tax
policy for New York. So now what would be interesting
(24:29):
is if he wins, is he going to be able
to get the New York their pulp Bureau to get
them to raise taxes? And oh baby, does he ever
want to raise taxes? If you think that he's just
one of these you know, I'm going to raise taxes
on the margins. I don't really want to do anything radical,
just on the mart No, no, no, no, he wants to
(24:51):
raise taxes significantly it's pretty dramatic.
Speaker 6 (24:57):
If you're making a million dollars in New York City
or more than that, you can afford to pay two
percent more. And the reasons you can afford to do
so is because that money will be used to better
your quality of life as well. Because when I speak
to the wealthiest New Yorkers, I hear concerns about the
cleanliness of the city, the quality of life in the city,
questions of public safety. This money is the money that
will be used to liver on those things so that
(25:19):
we can ensure that we have a return on investment
for all of the money that we are raising and
spending right here across the five boroughs.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
He's actually going to raise taxes on the wealthiest to
fifty two percent. It's fifty two percent, it's not two percent,
so hmm. Then he talks about the cops, and of
course he's been anti cop his entire life. He's, you know,
(25:47):
engaged in the battles against the cops.
Speaker 6 (25:50):
Absolutely, I'll apologize to police officers right here, because this
is the apology that I've been sharing with many rank
and file officers. And I apologize because of the fact
that I'm looking.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
To work with these officers.
Speaker 6 (25:59):
And I know that these officers, these men and women
who serve in the NYPD, they put their lives on
the line every single day, and I will be a
mayor that.
Speaker 7 (26:06):
He is your mind about it.
Speaker 4 (26:07):
You know, I moved to the.
Speaker 6 (26:08):
City when I was seven years old. I grew up
here and two of the things that I thought often
about was safety and justice.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
And growing up here.
Speaker 2 (26:16):
Ragan, when you're seven years old, did you think a
lot about safety and justice?
Speaker 4 (26:19):
All I was thinking about? You know, I was just like.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Oh, my gosh, is that cop going to beat the
crap out of me? Or is that cop friendly? And
you know, I developed my anti cop attitude at age seven.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
Ever, once that I think about, you know, going bike
riding or roller skating or checkers or Nintendo.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
You're learning about the case of the exonerated five, learning
about Sean Bell, learning about Eric Garner, learning about Michael Brown.
And then in twenty twenty, the year where all of
these tweets are referring to, it was the year when
George Floyd was killed and it felt like safety injustice
had never been further apart, And it was actually Eric
Adams in twenty twenty one who said that New Yorkers
(26:59):
need not choose to between these two things. And so
one of my focuses was how do we deliver that justice?
And now what I know, having represented one hundred thousand
people in Western Queens, is that to deliver that justice,
you have to also deliver that safety. And that means
representing the men and women in the NYPD. It means
representing the black and brown New Yorkers who've been victims
of police brutality.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
This guy's really good, he's very very good. So let's
send the bat signal up. That my formative years were
during oh, you know, the Eric Garner, Michael Brown, all
of the George Floyd, all of those That's what really
(27:42):
formed my deep seated beliefs about law enforcement. But now
that I'm running for mayor, I know I'm going to
have to work with the cops. Well, just because you're
going to quote work with the cops, doesn't mean that
you've abandoned the values that you developed as you watch
what you believe to be all of the injustice. When
(28:06):
all of those people, all of those criminals, hmmm, kind
of stepped into it themselves, and maybe it's their fault
that they're not alive.
Speaker 8 (28:21):
Hey, Michael, if it helps out, you get that map
and I'll be glad to donate. You know, a dozen
push pins to represent to your listeners.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
That's all we need is a dozen pins.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
Just but we want a different color for everyone, because
every listener deserves to be their own color.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
Either one to go to Grandpa gets one color, a
girl dad in Alaska gets another? Right, your favorite to
you who gets another?
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Right? Yeah, but we can allow people like Alexa to
have a pen. Do we want like women on the pins,
you know, next to the guys.
Speaker 3 (29:00):
I mean, she deserves her own category, but I don't
know about her own pen.
Speaker 4 (29:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (29:04):
Yeah. So the associate producer up at the end of
the runway in Newark writes that mom Donnie is lying
when he claims that his proposed tax increase on the
wealthiest will be just a two percent increase. The current
top New York City income tax bracket is three point
(29:25):
eighty six percent. Adding in additional two percent is more
than a fifty percent increase in that tax rate. Well,
wait a minute, what does he say, Is that a
double click?
Speaker 4 (29:44):
That's probably a double click, right right?
Speaker 7 (29:45):
Let me just quick question on that and I want
to get to public safety because it's another obviously another
big issue for New Yorkers. So, a lot of individuals
in this city pay more than fifty percent of their
income in taxes. When you talk about a fair share,
how much more than what is a fair shore?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
What's the number I've said.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
That we should increase personal and construction?
Speaker 2 (30:06):
See it's just two percent. I'm just well, they're already
paying over fifty percent. Well I'm just saying two percent. Okay, Well,
that two percent is a fifty increase.
Speaker 7 (30:17):
Air And my point is this more than half of
your incom's.
Speaker 6 (30:20):
If you're making a million dollars in New York City
or more than that, you can afford to pay two
percent more. And the reasons you can afford to do
so is because that money will be used to better
your quality of life as well.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Because the reason follow that logic, if you're making more
than a million dollars, you can afford to pay more
because when you pay more that for to do.
Speaker 6 (30:43):
So, it's because that money will be used to better
your quality of life as well.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
It's going to better your quality of life.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
Well, you mean what you can use the free bus.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
That's right, you could use a free bus, use.
Speaker 4 (30:57):
The government control of the grocery store.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
And we might actually pick up the garbage that's piled
up out in front of you of your apartment you're building. Yeah,
we might do that.
Speaker 6 (31:08):
Yeah, because when I speak to the wealthiest New Yorkers,
I hear concerns about the cleanliness of the city, the
quality of life in the city, questions of public safety.
This money is the money that will be used to
liver on those things so that we can ensure that
we have a return on investment for all of the
money that we are raising and spending right here across
the five boroughs.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
They just lie and lie and lie. Do you really
believe that if they spend more money that it will
really go to improve the quality of life in New
York City. There's a well, I'll do that later on
the program. That money will just go to more programs
(31:51):
that you'll never see a benefit from. Because he still
want to take care of illegal aliens. He's still a
sanctuary city. He'll still do all of the things. That
money will never go to the things that he claims
it's going to. Plus there's no guarantee that he can
get it done.
