Speaker 1 (00:00):
Best selling books. You know, book is a great Christmas presence.
You might you're looking for Christmas presents, get one of
her books for somebody. Also, of course, follow her on
Twitter and substack. Even better, she's got interviews and videos
and podcasts, all sorts of stuff on substack. You go
to andculter dot substack dot com and culter.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
How you doing fantastic? How are you marks alone?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Well, I'm good, I'm good. I love the Christmas season.
It seems to make the left wing cooks even more miserable.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I enjoy that. I love it too. You remind me
we have to go see the tree in Rockefeller Center.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yeah, we're gonna walk by it every y I walk by.
I'll walk by it later today. So, uh, this whole
thing about affordable housing, you know when they said we
don't have affordable housing, well you really not conna ever
have any on Park Avenue. And there's certain areas that
are gonna be expensive and other areas well, where did
this thing come? Everywhere in the world has to be.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Afford Well, rents are very high in New York. I'm
glad you mentioned affordability. What what what causes? Uhnts? Rents
and purchase prices to be so high in New York
as as anyone in Econ one oh one class will
take impacts. You don't even have to take Econ one
(01:20):
oh one on my financial illiterate reduce the supply of something,
prices go up. Rent control every place in the universe,
it's ever been tried. They could try it on Mars.
Suddenly you'll have massively unaffordable housing. And oh my gosh,
we need the government to build affordable housing. Just just
let the market cut loose. Developers build more stuff that
(01:42):
I obviously want to build a quote affordable, that is
to say, less expensive housing. You know, Sam Walton has
done pretty well by providing affordable products to people. It's
not like in the market people are only going to
build fabulous places on Fifth Avenue. No, quite to the contrary,
But they don't build those now because they'll be subject
(02:04):
to rent control. And as you and probably your listeners,
so a lot of landlords in New York have been
forced to just walk away from apartments because their fees,
their taxes, their costs of repairs are higher than what
they're being paid in rent. So what are they supposed
to do? You know, carry these people for the rest
of their lives. No, you just need the market. And
(02:27):
of course one other issue, there is no there's no
problem under the sun that has not helped by mass
deportation of illegals.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Well, you know, I believe it not. In the Hamptons,
in East Hampton, there was a movement because in East
Tampon they didn't have low income housing, affordable movement to
get some and the whole town rose up and said,
it's the hamp that's not supposed to be any affordable housing.
That's in the next thing.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That's very funny. Yeah, No, the affordable housing has to
go in the poor, middle class neighborhood. Let's screw those people.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Give it all your life. Your parents are driving. You see,
you're in the car, you're driving. Look at these mansions.
What a beautiful thing. You keep driving and driving. Nixt
you know, you're in a really bad neighborhood. That's that's
always been that way. You can't equalize everything, can you.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
No, that's a really good point. Actually, one of the
one of the wonderful things Trump did. What was the
name of it. There was this insane program under Obama
and Biden. Oh, it's on the tip of my tongue.
I can't think of it. But anyway, it was basically
doing exactly the madness you're describing. If someone couldn't afford
(03:35):
a family, couldn't afford to live, you know, in a
more expensive neighborhood dringde Connecticut or like you say, the
Hampton Park Avenue, under law, we had to subsidize them
to allow them to live in homes where they couldn't
afford the neighborhood, which is crazy. That's you can they
(04:00):
can find housing. They can find plenty of housing. Housing
in neighborhoods they can they can afford. It's just like
you know, affirmative action at colleges. No, you can get
into a college uh and have roughly the same SATs
as everyone you're competing against. But no, we're going to
elevate you to a college that's going to make you
feel stupid for the rest of your life.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, but these crazy left wing democrats, you know, the
double standards is unbelievable. Remember they dropped those illegals in Nantucket.
Thinking about that, they got rounded up and taken out
of there so fast that I didn't see any due
process there.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Did you?
Speaker 1 (04:39):
Did you see any hearings before they got carried out
of there.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
No, I was thinking about it because, and by the way,
I salute you, I have been so trying to ignore this,
you know, the Venezuela and Narco traffickers, whom Democrats are
wildly in favor of it. It's the new pet seal
on the left. But I was thinking test should round
them all up and send them to Martha's vineyards.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, that would you know?
Speaker 2 (05:06):
You're right?
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Actually, in that little harbor, I'd love to see those
Narcos speedboats coming in at one hundred and eighty miles
an hour.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
It's right, just move them in both build be affordable
housing up there, and then put the Narco terrorists there.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
All right, But how if you're NBC News, if you're
the New York Times, and the boat clearly has four
outboard super high speed outboard motors that cost almost two
hundred thousand dollars and it's going one hundred and eighty
miles an hour through the water in the middle of
the night, how could you claim that's a fishing boat?
Speaker 2 (05:41):
How could they claim that Tucky Williams was, you know,
a hard working student framed for killing a cop or
Mumia Abu Jamal. This is their nature. You find a
predator on society and oh my gosh, we must start
a fundraiser for that person. I think they've moved on
from the fishermen. Now, well, this is what I'm writing
(06:04):
about this week. They have a scrolling series of preposterous
arguments in defense of narco terrists, whom I'll give you
one one little highlight. Last year was the last year
we have we have figures for cocaine which is absolutely
one hundred percent being shipped. It goes from from Colombia
(06:25):
to Venezuela. Venezuela sends it to Mexico and then it
comes Mexicans truck it up to the United States. Back
before the media felt like it had to lie about this,
this was written about about once a year in the
New York Times. This will all be covered in the
column going up later today. But in any event, twenty
twenty three, thirty thousand Americans died of overdoses from cocaine.
(06:48):
Nine to eleven. Three thousand Americans died, and we went
to war in two countries for twenty years. But thirty
thousand Americans, Oh no, we can't do anything in our hemisphere.
You have to go seven thousand miles away. Then we
don't mind for killing innocence.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Well, you know, for years they tried to think of
what to do about these cartel smuggling drugs, and we
maybe set up a commission to talk to Mexico. And
then I like the Trump approach. You watch a bomb
just hit the boat and blow it right out of
the water.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
I mean, besides the joy of blowing up drug dealers,
you're absolutely right through through Republican administrations, Democratic administrations. US
attorneys keep indicting, I mean, all of all of Venezuela.
The only product they have is drugs, shipping drugs. They're
sitting on the largest reserve of oil in the world.
They can't get it out of the ground. Socialism works great.
(07:40):
So the entire country, right up to about the government,
the military, law enforcement, it is a drug cartel. This
is a country that is a drug cartel. So Obama, Trump,
they've all indicted Maduro, the head of intelligence. The indictment
they indict them, They accuse them of shipping cocaine to
the United States. Yes, your precious little Obama did this
(08:03):
New York Times. And then you know, maybe we'll get
an extradition and a couple of them have finally been
caught and gone to prison, and then some other somebody
else becomes a head of intelligence in Venezuela. Indicting people
in Abstentia is not working. What Trump is doing is working.
Therefore liberals are going nuts.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yeah, so hey, also a Democrats, boy, they love tariff's Democrats.
You know, they call it a corporate tax, but it's
a teriff. The teriffing business is left and right, which
any time you put a tax on a corporation that
raises the prices.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
So uh, that's a good point. No, I don't mind that.
You're right.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
So hey, we just about at a time if somebody
wanted to give a Christmas present, what book of Years
would you recommend?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Because that's a good Oh, that's a good question. Book
is a great Christmas all my children. You know, the
last book, Resistance is futile. It is it is exactly
what's happening right now. Liberals have lost their minds with
with Trump. The point of the book is because because
they hate Trump so much, they can't make they can't
(09:07):
make serious, solid arguments, and they just keep helping him
with their with their lunatic HYSTERI and I go through
several examples of that. So that's a great one. And
Trump we trust also great now that he's being the
man I wrote the book.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
About which Okay, good gad you approve.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Adios America of course, which which set off the phenomenon
that is the Trump.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
Yeah, so we recommend this for a lot of authors.
You could go to a store a lot of stories
look for to get people books. It's a great gift.
It's nobody can complain. It's a it's a very important thing.
A books. So uh go to and culture on Amazon
you can get a book as a gift. And of
course follower on Twitter and substack. It's a culter dot

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
