Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, dragon, I'm sure you saw there's a full moon
out there. Well, I guess they're calling this moon a
beaver moon, and it's technically a super beaver moon because
it's the brightest and largest super beaver moon I guess
over the years. So if you haven't seen it, looks
pretty cool. I guess it's going to peak tonight. So
(00:20):
give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
A beaver moon apparently, sure if you say so.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
All right, I just haven't heard that phrase before.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
You might call this segment this hour the flip flop segment.
Trump gave a speech this morning in which he talked
about al the in the government shutdown, and one of
his first comments has made me stop and think to myself, hmm,
maybe he's right, maybe I'm wrong. Before we get to that,
(00:56):
let me lay a baseline by reading you a paragram
from a story that I read earlier this morning, which
was a basis for part of what I talked about
in terms of this realignment going on with voters in
these urban areas. And the story goes like this, Republicans
(01:17):
hold a trifecta in Washington, and the second Trump administration
has gambled on an agenda of maximum disruption. Now that
trifecta is the House descendant in the White House, and
that agenda of maximal disruption is seal the border, start
to deport illegal aliens, and then impose tariffs, protect our
(01:42):
supply chains, start to protect our you know, bring America first,
bring manufacturing back, and start that process as rapid as
we can. And that is maximum disruption. The paragraph continues,
But the pace of that disruption might now be generating
political friction, just as the frantic government overreach of Democrats
(02:06):
in twenty twenty one paved the way for a working
class Republican realignment in both Virginia and New Jersey. Exit
in both Virginia and New Jersey, exit polls showed that
the economy was far and away the most important issue
to voters, and those saying voters overwhelmingly back the Democrats. Now,
(02:28):
I under saying, I'm just this is one person's opinion.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I would know.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
However, again, let's temper that a little bit by recognizing
yes in blue states, so we shouldn't be surprised by it.
It's actually correct. But the perspective is that's what occurred
in blue states. The question is does that translate into
purple states or into red states. Then it continues, let
(02:59):
me start that whole sentence again, But the pace of
that generation of that disruption might now be generating political friction.
Just as the frantic government overreached the Democrats in twenty
twenty one paved the way for a working class Republican realignment.
In both Virginia and New Jersey, exit polls showed that
(03:20):
the economy was far and away the most important issue
to voters, and those saying voters overwhelmingly backed the Democrats.
Younger Americans also heavily favored Democrats, and a particular ominous
stat for Republicans is buried in both states exit poll data,
(03:41):
voters who disapproved of both parties went for Democrats in
a landslide. Pause for a moment. So, if you're a
pox on both parties, as I often am, or you
can't stand Trump and you can't the Democrats, those double
(04:03):
hater voters went for Democrats in a landslide. The paragraph
finishes out this way. These double hater voters had been
a key part of the Trump coalition, but now that
Republicans are in power, these skeptics may be lurching towards
the Democrat Party are they?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What do the current polls show.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
If you look at NBC, ABC News, Washington Post, Quinnipiac,
Reuter's ipsos, and the AP.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Nork poll, all of those are what.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I would call the now look, I know that again
their opinion leading, not opinion reflecting, But those are the
polls that you're going to hear about over the next
several days, particularly depending on what happens in the Senate
with the continuing Resolution. According to the NBC News poll,
(05:11):
this is a voter's polled between October twenty four and
twenty eight, So last week, fifty two percent of voters
blame Trump and Republicans, twenty five percent blame Congress, twenty
four percent blame Trump, three percent both.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that's fifty two percent of voters.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Are blaming Trump and the Republicans for the government shutdown.
Forty two percent blame Democrats in Congress. I would note
that when you look at the tabs, that is the
highest recorded share blaming Democrats for a shutdown in the
history of NBC polling, but it's still not the majority,
(05:51):
at least according to NBC.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's good to ABC.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Pretty much the same thing, little tighter forty five percent
blame Trump and Republicans, thirty three percent blame Democrats. Twenty
two percent don't know their head from their butts, so
twenty two percent are unsure. Quinnipiac, forty five blame Republicans,
thirty nine blame democrats, eleven blame both. Now, among independents,
(06:20):
forty eight percent blame Republicans, thirty two percent blame Democrats.
Reuters sixty seven percent, now this is early October, this
is early in the game, sixty seven blame Republicans. Sixty
three say Democrats bear the same blame, So that's pretty close.
That's back in the beginning of October, and sixty three
(06:43):
percent say Trump bears at least some of the blame.
Ap sixty percent assigned significant blame to Trump. Fifty four
percent blame similar Democrats, So it's pretty close. The outliers
probably in BC, but even in DBC notes that that
is the highest recorded share for Democrats in the history
(07:04):
of Democrat of NBC polling. And again that's at fifty
two to forty two percent. That's the most recent polls
I got just looking quickly during the break.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So what did Trump say?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
That makes me begin to question my position on the filibuster,
let's listen to them. To a clip from his presentation.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do,
and that's terminate the filibuster.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
It's the only way you can do it.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in
bad shape. We won't pass any legislation. There'll be no
legislation passed for three and a quarter. We have three
and a quarter year or so. It's a long time.
But when they can't do an extension, and John, I
think they've done an extension every single time they've ever
been asked forever, is the first time they haven't done
an extension.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Extensions are supposed to be easy.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
But if they won't do an extension, they won't do
any bill, even as simple bill.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
And we should do.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Our own bills. We should get out, we should do
our own bills. We should open up. We should start
tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then we should pass
voter ID, we should pass no mail in voting.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
We should pass all the things that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
We wanted to pass, make our elections secure, and say,
because California is a disaster, many of the states are disasters.
But can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against
voter ID. All we want is voter ID. You go
to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You
go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting,
they want no voter ID. There's only for one reason,
(08:38):
because they cheat. We would pass that in fifteen minutes.
If you don't get it, you'll never pass that. You'll
never talk about mail in ballast. Mail in ballasts make
it automatically corrupt. If you have mail in ballots automatically
it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they had the Carter Commission
after we got out of office, and he had a
group of very distinguished people, Democrats and Republicans, and they
(08:59):
passed they recommended things take place. It was a long
time ago, and they said about mail in ballads. If
there is mail in ballads, there will definitely be corruption.
Because you know, they passed through too many hands. I mean,
you go and to vote and they want you cut.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
What do you think now?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It's classic disjointed Trump's because he normally does. But I
think the message is pretty clear. If the Senate keeps
the filibuster rule in place, this is what makes me
begin to question my own attitude about the filibuster. I
told you either yesterday or day before that I think
they ought to keep it in place. This is all
(09:42):
extemporaneous because he makes a really solid point. Now, I
know there will be unintended consequences if Republicans and that's
a big if, because Senator Thune, the majority leader in
the Senate, has indicated he's adamant about keeping the filibuster
in place. But Trump raises a really good point that's
(10:04):
worth consideration. If the Senate Republicans keep the filibuster rule
in place, then we will have another at least another
year and probably another three and a half years of
absolutely nothing getting done at the federal level, because they
will always fill a buster something in the Senate, and
whatever it is that we wanted the Trump agenda to be,
(10:27):
those five Democrats will block it. Now, if we don't
secure elections, we know the Democrats will just keep stealing
more and more than each and every cycle, and down
that path leads to certain Democrat takeovers of both Houses
of Congress and most likely the White House without Trump
(10:48):
on the ballot in twenty twenty eight. Now, that's just
pure speculation on my part. I think that a ballot
of Rubio and Vans, or antson Rubio or any who knows.
It's early, but anybody has a good chance of still winning.
(11:09):
Crumb doesn't say it in that clip, but he has
made the point before that once the Democrats are allowed
to recapture a majority in the Senate, they will certainly
follow the advice that I gave you yesterday about James
Carvill to nuke the filibuster themselves. And if they do
(11:29):
it before we do it. I mean, this is like
playing war games.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
This is.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Playing with nuclear warheads, except it happens to be the philibuster.
If they regain the Senate, they will absolutely do that,
and that will release the hounds of Marxist hell in
this country, ensuring the end of the Republic for good.
(11:57):
So now I'm beginning to really question maybe he might
be right. Now, Remember the filibuster is just a Senate rule.
You can change rules anytime you want to. It's not
a statute, it's not in the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It is a rule.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Now I understand the practical Remember I live in the
real world, and I understand what the real world if
results will be. If Trump gets this done. If the
Senate decides to eliminate the filibuster rule, then that means
that anybody who can control the White House and have
at least fifty a divided Senate, they can still get
(12:36):
anything past because all you need is a simple majority. Now,
it's unlikely you're always going to have a fifty to
fifty division in the Senate. But if you have a
fifty two to forty eight division in the Senate and
that fifty two are Democrats, without the filibuster, they'll pass
(12:56):
whatever they want to. And now that we sip back,
I'm literally leaning back as we sip back and we
think about hmm. I support the filibuster because theoretically it
has worked well for us for you know, more than
one hundred years since the Senate adopted it, and it
has prevented some really crazy things from happening. But if
(13:22):
we change it, we can get some things that we
need done done before. And if they take over the
Senate and they start doing all the things that James
Carvill said that he thought that they ought to do.
Remember Carvel yesterday in that SoundBite talked about some really
(13:43):
crazy stuff that he thought they ought to do. And
that worries me because Carvel's a nutjob. Carvel is truly
a nutjob, and getting the things done that he said
he wanted to get done would act actually drive the
country into oblivion. It would truly destroy everything this country
(14:08):
stands for. Right now, That's how crazy Carvel is. And
he represents what the Democrats lead. He truly is in
that way. He's kind of I would say he's the
commander of the Democrat Party, but he's the wise old
sage of the Democrat Party. And so what he has
(14:30):
been telling them is likely to be followed by them.
He is, he is telescoping to us what he's been
thinking about doing. You need you need mail in ballots,
you need to you know, open borders, you need to
adopt all of these Marxist policies that they've been talking about.
(14:52):
Truly scary when you think about it. That's what he's
going after. So that raises the quest uestion, all right,
if that really is what you're after, maybe we need
to beat them to the punch. Maybe Trump's right on
the filibuster commit it timidly failing to act to do
(15:18):
the right thing out of fear what the Democrats might
do in the future.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Bugs me.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
But that is a strategic a strategic choice of a
certain loser, because I know the Dems will knot the
filibuster as soon as they regain power, regardless of what
milk toast ristic country club Republicans do today. They've made
that crystal clear. So now I begin to think that
(15:48):
maybe the choice is clear. Either act now so we
get secure federal elections with a national voter ID requirement,
or see the republic to permanent control to the political
party which just elevated in Islamo communists to the mayor's
office of the nation's largest city and an aspiring murderer
to the attorney general's post in the state of Virginia.
(16:10):
It's really kind of a stark choice. It's probably one
of the starkest choices the Republicans have faced in my lifetime.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And you can be certain that they might fail to
test now.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
A poster for Ramus Mark Mitchell got the reasoning why
exactly right on X early this morning. The nuclear option
is really dangerous because then voters will see that Republicans
won't use it to pass the laws. That's the other
(16:45):
side of this issue. If the Republicans knew the filibuster
to reopen the government, then will they go forward and
do the things that Trump talked about in that sound bite.
Mark Mitchell at Rasmussen Report might be exactly right. The
filibuster gives the closet rhinos like John Cornyn in Texas,
(17:07):
John Thune, Lindsey Graham, John Barrasso, and a dozen more
of mask. He keeps them in the proverbial closet so
they can pretend to be something they really aren't. Conservatives
and they're not. John Cornyn is not a conservative, John
Thun's not a conservative. Lindsay Graham, Ah, you think he's
a conservative.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
But if they.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Eliminate the mask, they eliminate their electability and thus in
their ability to become famously wealthy by continuing to feed
off the DC grifts once they'll be doing and then
I think to myself, it's never going to happen any.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Now. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
These rhinos aren't exactly Democrats, but they do serve as
the opposition party's facilitation. They are of the neighbors of
the Democrats right now, and as such, they are every
bit the clear and present danger.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
To our survival. As a republic, as the.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Democrats already are one of them. Pump's got me utterly
confused right now, because he may be right and I
might be.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Well, Michael, what's the point of voting when everything you
vote for goes the opposite way? I can't believe that
LLL and MM passed. I don't make more than three
hundred thousand dollars that but doesn't that give those people
a reason to leave Colorado?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I mean, it depends on the estimate.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Is that that additional tax to feed the children for
someone making more than three hundred thousand dollars a year's
expected to be I thought I read somewhere four hundred,
four hundred and fifty dollars a year. If you're making
more than three hundred thousand dollars a year, that probably
isn't a tipping point for you to say, I'm going
(18:56):
to pack up and move to Arizona. I'm going to
pack up and move to Texas. Could be in some circumstances,
but I mean, it probably wouldn't be in my circumstance.
But to your point about it is incredibly frustrating that,
for example, so Trump wins, we start getting what we
(19:16):
want done done, and then that's used against us. We're
on constant defensive, except when we go on offense, then
we end up being on defense, and we end up
being on defense because the cabal steps in and the
cabal takes all of the And this gets all the
(19:37):
way back to my conversation about those who might be uneducated.
Although they are highly educated, they're not very well educated.
It gets to the people that are brought up on
government schools. It gets the people who don't understand economics,
that don't understand our constitutional framework.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
They don't understand anything.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
We have raised generation and generation and generation of useful
idiots that are now fellow travelers of someone like zofram Mondanni,
and now we're going to pay the price for it.
And real quick though, did you see that text message
that was talking about the new name for Zofran mom
domit's uh do Zofran mom dummy. Oh yeah, mom dom dummies,
(20:21):
the mom dommies. In fact, it says the day the
mom dommy screwed New York City, I really wish we
could wall off New York City and just let them
conduct your experiment. Show us what four years of socialist, Marxist,
communist rule looks like and for all of those who
(20:41):
are escaping to the to the tri state area, either
escaping into New Jersey or New Canaan, Connecticut, or Westchester County.
You may think you're escaping, but if your business or
your employment is still within one of the five boroughs,
you're still going to pay for it. That's the frightening.
We tend to think that, you know, New York City
(21:03):
is just Manhattan, it's not as those five boroughs. So
there's a lot of people that makes up eight million people,
that eight plus million people that make up those five boroughs.
But another one, why can't they just change that? This
is seventy five thirty two. Why can't they just why
can't the Senate change the filibuster rule back to just
a true filibuster a human must.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Be present to argue?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Well, they could do that too, except I'm not sure
you could make the rule retroactive. You can make a
proactive you know, for the future, but they're operating under
the current rule. To change the current rule in the
middle of the rule being invoked, you'd have to talk
to the parliamentary.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And I don't know, I don't know what it would
do In that situation.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
But yeah, that would be a that would be okay
with me, except modern technology would allow somebody to put
in a catheter, to put in a colostomy bag, and
they could poop and pee, and then of course people
could bring them food and they could stand and talk.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
For months on end.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Now, eventually sleep's going to take them over, and they're
going to pass out and make themselves sick, and they'll
just collapse on the floor. And but you know somebody else,
there'll be a Democrat just waiting, and you know, they'll
hand it off to the Democrat and they'll just continue
to do that. So, once again, considering modern technology, maybe
it is time to get rid of the rule. But
(22:29):
I wanted to go back to This is James Carvill.
This is the SoundBite I played for you yesterday of
James Carvell telling the Democrats that this.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Is what you need to do.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
He tells al Hunt, the Democrats must do a bunch
of manifestly undemocratic things in order to save democracy if
they can manage to take control of Congress in the
White House in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
This you know, maybe Trump saw.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
That the Democrats talk about democracy, and you have receive
the importance of democracy, deserve a democracy, and say the democracy. Well,
the truth of that is, people are right when they
say this democracy is really imperfect. And they're going to
have to do if the Democrats win the presidency, the Senate,
and the House in twenty twenty eight, which is not impossible.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I don't know if you say likely or possible.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Now, just to give you the perspective you need. If
they win but they don't win sixty votes in the Senate,
the Republicans could invote the filibuster and stop them from
doing these things. But if they win sixty votes or more,
(23:46):
the filibuster becomes meaningless because they've got enough of their
own Democrat votes to end any Republican filibuster. In fact,
practically speaking, to even prevent a filibuster from starting, because
the republic know that the minute they start speaking, somebody
will call for you know, they'll call for a motion
(24:06):
on the floor to end whatever that senator started, and
that takes precedent and boom it'd be over, and then
they would do this.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
I don't know what word you know, but it's certainly
not impossible. They are just going to have to be
lightly at Puerto Rican industry of Columbia states. They're gonna
have to The Congress does give the Constitution gives Congress.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Power over federal elections.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
I don't think they can read district, but they the
things they gon do, they're going to have to do it.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
They're just going to have to do it. And they
may have.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
To expand the court to thirteen members. Any of those
things in isolation, I would be skeptical about. I would
be cautious about. I would say, well, I don't know
if that's the greatest idea in the world. If you're
opening Pandora's box or be it up all kinds of things,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
I find it fascinating that he thinks that any individual
thing like that is probably pretty bad. He probably shouldn't
do it. But if we could do the whole shebang,
then let's do the whole shebang.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
If you want to save democracy, I think you've got
to do all those things.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
If you want to save democracy, you have to do
all those undemocratic things. Make Puerto Rico and the DC estate.
Why not make Guama State. Come on, let's let's throw
Gwamma there might tip over, but throw them in there.
And then federalize elections. Yeah, we'll have an election month,
federal elections for Congress and Senate, and the president will
(25:33):
go on from October four to November four, maybe even longer. Dude,
need no sneaking, ID show us the utility bill or
just you know, same day vote, the same day register,
the same day you vote, that other people cast the
ballots for.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
You would just moving further and further away from being
anything closer democracy.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yes, well, we're trying to move closer and closer to
being a republic.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
You've dumbass, And I don't know if it's something that
they should talk about during the campaign. I guess you
probably would want to because when you see if you
have a democratic House, a democratic senator, and a democratic president,
they should do that on day one, four more United
States Senators, four more Supreme Court members, and some stringent
(26:27):
national legislation on how you can do Congress they could
they could easily pass a lass and you can only
readistrict once every ten years. Yeah, I mean what precilitated
concertates a crisis with Disupreme courts say you can't expand
to thirteen. They say that's some im tediment to adding
(26:48):
two more states.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Sure what they do, They'll just.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Issu're a ruling on the chatter docket saying it's over.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
But that's enough.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Then you go back to what Trump said, and now
you have to start, at least in my mind, start
questioning whether or not I'm wrong and Trump might be right.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do,
and that's terminate the filibuster.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
It's the only way you can do it.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in
bad check. We won't pass any legislation. There'll be no
legislation passed for three in a quarter. We have three
and a quarter years, so it's a long time. But
when they can't do an extension, and John, I think
they've done an extension every single time they've ever been
asked forever, this is the first time they haven't done
an extension.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Extensions are supposed to be easy.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
But if they won't do an extension, they won't do
any bill, even a simple bill. Then we should do
our own bills. We should get out, we should do
our own bills. We should open up. We should start
tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then we should pass
voter ID. We should pass no mail in voting. We
should pass all the things that we wanted to pass.
(28:01):
Make our elections secure. And say, because California is a disaster,
many of the states are disasters. But can you imagine
when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID. All we
want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store,
you have to give ID. You go to a gas station,
you give ID. But for voting, they want no voter ID.
It's wony for wonder is it? Because they cheat? We
(28:23):
would pass that in fifteen minutes. If you don't get it,
you'll never pass that. You'll never talk about mail in ballasts.
Mail in ballasts make it automatically corrupt. If you have
mail in ballots automatically it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they
had the Quarter Commission after you got out of office,
and he had a group of very distinguished people, Democrats
and Republicans, and they passed they recommend to things take place.
(28:46):
It was a long time ago, and they said about
mail in ballots, if there is mail in ballots, there
will definitely be corruption. Because you know they passed through
too many hands. I mean, you go and to vote
and they want you.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
If I've been Trump.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Or as an advanced team or his political advisor, I
would have said, after you give this speech, then I
would say, and if we don't eliminate the filibuster and
Democrats win in twenty twenty eight, and they've got sixty
votes in the Senate, or it won't make any difference.
If we get rid of the filibuster, they got fifty
one votes in the Senator, fifty, they've got the trifecta
(29:23):
House and the White House. Then I'd play the video
of Carvel that I just played you and just point
out to all of those senators at that breakfast this morning,
and this is what the country will get, and that
will be the end of the republic.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Did get off your moral high ground.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's time to pack the Supreme Court and Republicans favor
and gerrymander all red states into Republican favor. Do it
or lose because they're going to do it.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Do people just really not understand this?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Git You just don't get a DOA.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
No.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I don't get it at all. I don't understand any
of this.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
If if you don't believe that mom, Donnie or man, dummy,
is out there too. Really just viscerate and you know,
redistribute wealth. No, the UH sees the means of production.
He made it quite clear in his first interview this
morning over on ABC.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Let's dig into that because you're start talking about a
rent freeze, you're talking about free busses, you're talking.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
About free childcare. Can you do that without raising taxes?
Speaker 9 (30:40):
I think you can do that, And I think you
have to raise taxes on the top one percent of
New Yorkers, New Yorkers who make more than a million
dollars a year, and you do that by raising taxes
by them two percent. And then you also increase the
corporate tax of New York State to match that of
New Jersey. So that takes us from about seven point
twenty five to about eleven point five percent of what
we see in New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
So you're going to tax everybody, because everybody pays corporate taxes.
Corporations don't pay taxes.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
But you know that these things together is about nine
billion dollars, which more than pays for our economic agenda
and also starts with Trump proof us.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
But are you worrying that I can drive a lot
of job creators out of New York.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
So what I've heard from a number of business leaders
is that the affordability crisis is also affecting their ability
to attract and retain talent the city.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
So the affordability crisis is already affecting people in their
ability to do their job and run their businesses. So
I want to make it even more less affordable. I'm
going to I'm going to make the affordability crisis even worse.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
These inability to provide childcare means that businesses often have
to provide stipends for that childcare. Right now, the absence
of universal childcare means that universal childcare.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Wow, your government.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Child family will pay around twenty two five hundred dollars
a year, which is more money than many of them
would spend if they sent that same kit to college
AI teen years later. And it is time for city
government to actually step up to the responsibility.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That has City government has responsibility to take care of
your child. And you want to talk about me spreading
this communist slop. No, I'm just telling you what's going
on in the real world right now.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
The city government, that kind of a tax increase is
going to require the state as well, including the Governor
Kathy Hockless, she on board.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
You know, I'm proud to have Governor Kathy hockles endorsement
and the endorsement of our agenda, specifically universal childcare. And
I've said time and again I think these are the
two most direct and straightforward ways to raise this revenue.
If there are other ways to raise this funds, the
most important thing is that we actually fund this agenda.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Oh and while he's saying that, on the east coast,
out on the left coast this morning, we got this
Yahoo knew some.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Of the work that the people of the state of
California did tonight to send a powerful message to an
historic president. Donald Trump is an historic president. He is
the most historically unpopular president in modern history. In every
critical category, Donald Trump is underwater. He promised to make
(33:15):
us healthier, he promised to make us wealthier.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
We're sicker and poorer.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
And he fundamentally understands that. Why else, Why else would
he call Greg Abbott saying he's entitled to five seats?
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Why else is he trying?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I have no idea what they had to do with
us being healthier and wealthier, But that's newsome
Hey, dragon, I'm sure you saw there's a full moon
out there. Well, I guess they're calling this moon a
beaver moon, and it's technically a super beaver moon because
it's the brightest and largest super beaver moon I guess
over the years. So if you haven't seen it, looks
pretty cool. I guess it's going to peak tonight. So
(00:20):
give it a shot.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
A beaver moon apparently, sure if you say so.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
All right, I just haven't heard that phrase before.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
You might call this segment this hour the flip flop segment.
Trump gave a speech this morning in which he talked
about al the in the government shutdown, and one of
his first comments has made me stop and think to myself, hmm,
maybe he's right, maybe I'm wrong. Before we get to that,
(00:56):
let me lay a baseline by reading you a paragram
from a story that I read earlier this morning, which
was a basis for part of what I talked about
in terms of this realignment going on with voters in
these urban areas. And the story goes like this, Republicans
(01:17):
hold a trifecta in Washington, and the second Trump administration
has gambled on an agenda of maximum disruption. Now that
trifecta is the House descendant in the White House, and
that agenda of maximal disruption is seal the border, start
to deport illegal aliens, and then impose tariffs, protect our
(01:42):
supply chains, start to protect our you know, bring America first,
bring manufacturing back, and start that process as rapid as
we can. And that is maximum disruption. The paragraph continues,
But the pace of that disruption might now be generating
political friction, just as the frantic government overreach of Democrats
(02:06):
in twenty twenty one paved the way for a working
class Republican realignment in both Virginia and New Jersey. Exit
in both Virginia and New Jersey, exit polls showed that
the economy was far and away the most important issue
to voters, and those saying voters overwhelmingly back the Democrats. Now,
(02:28):
I under saying, I'm just this is one person's opinion.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
I would know.
Speaker 4 (02:32):
However, again, let's temper that a little bit by recognizing
yes in blue states, so we shouldn't be surprised by it.
It's actually correct. But the perspective is that's what occurred
in blue states. The question is does that translate into
purple states or into red states. Then it continues, let
(02:59):
me start that whole sentence again, But the pace of
that generation of that disruption might now be generating political friction.
Just as the frantic government overreached the Democrats in twenty
twenty one paved the way for a working class Republican realignment.
In both Virginia and New Jersey, exit polls showed that
(03:20):
the economy was far and away the most important issue
to voters, and those saying voters overwhelmingly backed the Democrats.
Younger Americans also heavily favored Democrats, and a particular ominous
stat for Republicans is buried in both states exit poll data,
(03:41):
voters who disapproved of both parties went for Democrats in
a landslide. Pause for a moment. So, if you're a
pox on both parties, as I often am, or you
can't stand Trump and you can't the Democrats, those double
(04:03):
hater voters went for Democrats in a landslide. The paragraph
finishes out this way. These double hater voters had been
a key part of the Trump coalition, but now that
Republicans are in power, these skeptics may be lurching towards
the Democrat Party are they?
Speaker 2 (04:28):
What do the current polls show.
Speaker 4 (04:34):
If you look at NBC, ABC News, Washington Post, Quinnipiac,
Reuter's ipsos, and the AP.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
Nork poll, all of those are what.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I would call the now look, I know that again
their opinion leading, not opinion reflecting, But those are the
polls that you're going to hear about over the next
several days, particularly depending on what happens in the Senate
with the continuing Resolution. According to the NBC News poll,
(05:11):
this is a voter's polled between October twenty four and
twenty eight, So last week, fifty two percent of voters
blame Trump and Republicans, twenty five percent blame Congress, twenty
four percent blame Trump, three percent both.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
So that's fifty two percent of voters.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
Are blaming Trump and the Republicans for the government shutdown.
Forty two percent blame Democrats in Congress. I would note
that when you look at the tabs, that is the
highest recorded share blaming Democrats for a shutdown in the
history of NBC polling, but it's still not the majority,
(05:51):
at least according to NBC.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It's good to ABC.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
Pretty much the same thing, little tighter forty five percent
blame Trump and Republicans, thirty three percent blame Democrats. Twenty
two percent don't know their head from their butts, so
twenty two percent are unsure. Quinnipiac, forty five blame Republicans,
thirty nine blame democrats, eleven blame both. Now, among independents,
(06:20):
forty eight percent blame Republicans, thirty two percent blame Democrats.
Reuters sixty seven percent, now this is early October, this
is early in the game, sixty seven blame Republicans. Sixty
three say Democrats bear the same blame, So that's pretty close.
That's back in the beginning of October, and sixty three
(06:43):
percent say Trump bears at least some of the blame.
Ap sixty percent assigned significant blame to Trump. Fifty four
percent blame similar Democrats, So it's pretty close. The outliers
probably in BC, but even in DBC notes that that
is the highest recorded share for Democrats in the history
(07:04):
of Democrat of NBC polling. And again that's at fifty
two to forty two percent. That's the most recent polls
I got just looking quickly during the break.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
So what did Trump say?
Speaker 4 (07:18):
That makes me begin to question my position on the filibuster,
let's listen to them. To a clip from his presentation.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do,
and that's terminate the filibuster.
Speaker 6 (07:33):
It's the only way you can do it.
Speaker 5 (07:35):
And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in
bad shape. We won't pass any legislation. There'll be no
legislation passed for three and a quarter. We have three
and a quarter year or so. It's a long time.
But when they can't do an extension, and John, I
think they've done an extension every single time they've ever
been asked forever, is the first time they haven't done
an extension.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Extensions are supposed to be easy.
Speaker 5 (07:57):
But if they won't do an extension, they won't do
any bill, even as simple bill.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
And we should do.
Speaker 5 (08:01):
Our own bills. We should get out, we should do
our own bills. We should open up. We should start
tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then we should pass
voter ID, we should pass no mail in voting.
Speaker 6 (08:15):
We should pass all the things that.
Speaker 5 (08:16):
We wanted to pass, make our elections secure, and say,
because California is a disaster, many of the states are disasters.
But can you imagine when they vote almost unanimously against
voter ID. All we want is voter ID. You go
to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You
go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting,
they want no voter ID. There's only for one reason,
(08:38):
because they cheat. We would pass that in fifteen minutes.
If you don't get it, you'll never pass that. You'll
never talk about mail in ballast. Mail in ballasts make
it automatically corrupt. If you have mail in ballots automatically
it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they had the Carter Commission
after we got out of office, and he had a
group of very distinguished people, Democrats and Republicans, and they
(08:59):
passed they recommended things take place. It was a long
time ago, and they said about mail in ballads. If
there is mail in ballads, there will definitely be corruption.
Because you know, they passed through too many hands. I mean,
you go and to vote and they want you cut.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
What do you think now?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
It's classic disjointed Trump's because he normally does. But I
think the message is pretty clear. If the Senate keeps
the filibuster rule in place, this is what makes me
begin to question my own attitude about the filibuster. I
told you either yesterday or day before that I think
they ought to keep it in place. This is all
(09:42):
extemporaneous because he makes a really solid point. Now, I
know there will be unintended consequences if Republicans and that's
a big if, because Senator Thune, the majority leader in
the Senate, has indicated he's adamant about keeping the filibuster
in place. But Trump raises a really good point that's
(10:04):
worth consideration. If the Senate Republicans keep the filibuster rule
in place, then we will have another at least another
year and probably another three and a half years of
absolutely nothing getting done at the federal level, because they
will always fill a buster something in the Senate, and
whatever it is that we wanted the Trump agenda to be,
(10:27):
those five Democrats will block it. Now, if we don't
secure elections, we know the Democrats will just keep stealing
more and more than each and every cycle, and down
that path leads to certain Democrat takeovers of both Houses
of Congress and most likely the White House without Trump
(10:48):
on the ballot in twenty twenty eight. Now, that's just
pure speculation on my part. I think that a ballot
of Rubio and Vans, or antson Rubio or any who knows.
It's early, but anybody has a good chance of still winning.
(11:09):
Crumb doesn't say it in that clip, but he has
made the point before that once the Democrats are allowed
to recapture a majority in the Senate, they will certainly
follow the advice that I gave you yesterday about James
Carvill to nuke the filibuster themselves. And if they do
(11:29):
it before we do it. I mean, this is like
playing war games.
Speaker 7 (11:34):
This is.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Playing with nuclear warheads, except it happens to be the philibuster.
If they regain the Senate, they will absolutely do that,
and that will release the hounds of Marxist hell in
this country, ensuring the end of the Republic for good.
(11:57):
So now I'm beginning to really question maybe he might
be right. Now, Remember the filibuster is just a Senate rule.
You can change rules anytime you want to. It's not
a statute, it's not in the Constitution.
Speaker 2 (12:11):
It is a rule.
Speaker 4 (12:13):
Now I understand the practical Remember I live in the
real world, and I understand what the real world if
results will be. If Trump gets this done. If the
Senate decides to eliminate the filibuster rule, then that means
that anybody who can control the White House and have
at least fifty a divided Senate, they can still get
(12:36):
anything past because all you need is a simple majority. Now,
it's unlikely you're always going to have a fifty to
fifty division in the Senate. But if you have a
fifty two to forty eight division in the Senate and
that fifty two are Democrats, without the filibuster, they'll pass
(12:56):
whatever they want to. And now that we sip back,
I'm literally leaning back as we sip back and we
think about hmm. I support the filibuster because theoretically it
has worked well for us for you know, more than
one hundred years since the Senate adopted it, and it
has prevented some really crazy things from happening. But if
(13:22):
we change it, we can get some things that we
need done done before. And if they take over the
Senate and they start doing all the things that James
Carvill said that he thought that they ought to do.
Remember Carvel yesterday in that SoundBite talked about some really
(13:43):
crazy stuff that he thought they ought to do. And
that worries me because Carvel's a nutjob. Carvel is truly
a nutjob, and getting the things done that he said
he wanted to get done would act actually drive the
country into oblivion. It would truly destroy everything this country
(14:08):
stands for. Right now, That's how crazy Carvel is. And
he represents what the Democrats lead. He truly is in
that way. He's kind of I would say he's the
commander of the Democrat Party, but he's the wise old
sage of the Democrat Party. And so what he has
(14:30):
been telling them is likely to be followed by them.
He is, he is telescoping to us what he's been
thinking about doing. You need you need mail in ballots,
you need to you know, open borders, you need to
adopt all of these Marxist policies that they've been talking about.
(14:52):
Truly scary when you think about it. That's what he's
going after. So that raises the quest uestion, all right,
if that really is what you're after, maybe we need
to beat them to the punch. Maybe Trump's right on
the filibuster commit it timidly failing to act to do
(15:18):
the right thing out of fear what the Democrats might
do in the future.
Speaker 3 (15:24):
Bugs me.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
But that is a strategic a strategic choice of a
certain loser, because I know the Dems will knot the
filibuster as soon as they regain power, regardless of what
milk toast ristic country club Republicans do today. They've made
that crystal clear. So now I begin to think that
(15:48):
maybe the choice is clear. Either act now so we
get secure federal elections with a national voter ID requirement,
or see the republic to permanent control to the political
party which just elevated in Islamo communists to the mayor's
office of the nation's largest city and an aspiring murderer
to the attorney general's post in the state of Virginia.
(16:10):
It's really kind of a stark choice. It's probably one
of the starkest choices the Republicans have faced in my lifetime.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
And you can be certain that they might fail to
test now.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
A poster for Ramus Mark Mitchell got the reasoning why
exactly right on X early this morning. The nuclear option
is really dangerous because then voters will see that Republicans
won't use it to pass the laws. That's the other
(16:45):
side of this issue. If the Republicans knew the filibuster
to reopen the government, then will they go forward and
do the things that Trump talked about in that sound bite.
Mark Mitchell at Rasmussen Report might be exactly right. The
filibuster gives the closet rhinos like John Cornyn in Texas,
(17:07):
John Thune, Lindsey Graham, John Barrasso, and a dozen more
of mask. He keeps them in the proverbial closet so
they can pretend to be something they really aren't. Conservatives
and they're not. John Cornyn is not a conservative, John
Thun's not a conservative. Lindsay Graham, Ah, you think he's
a conservative.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
But if they.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Eliminate the mask, they eliminate their electability and thus in
their ability to become famously wealthy by continuing to feed
off the DC grifts once they'll be doing and then
I think to myself, it's never going to happen any.
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Now. Don't get me wrong.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
These rhinos aren't exactly Democrats, but they do serve as
the opposition party's facilitation. They are of the neighbors of
the Democrats right now, and as such, they are every
bit the clear and present danger.
Speaker 3 (17:55):
To our survival. As a republic, as the.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
Democrats already are one of them. Pump's got me utterly
confused right now, because he may be right and I
might be.
Speaker 7 (18:06):
Well, Michael, what's the point of voting when everything you
vote for goes the opposite way? I can't believe that
LLL and MM passed. I don't make more than three
hundred thousand dollars that but doesn't that give those people
a reason to leave Colorado?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
I mean, it depends on the estimate.
Speaker 4 (18:36):
Is that that additional tax to feed the children for
someone making more than three hundred thousand dollars a year's
expected to be I thought I read somewhere four hundred,
four hundred and fifty dollars a year. If you're making
more than three hundred thousand dollars a year, that probably
isn't a tipping point for you to say, I'm going
(18:56):
to pack up and move to Arizona. I'm going to
pack up and move to Texas. Could be in some circumstances,
but I mean, it probably wouldn't be in my circumstance.
But to your point about it is incredibly frustrating that,
for example, so Trump wins, we start getting what we
(19:16):
want done done, and then that's used against us. We're
on constant defensive, except when we go on offense, then
we end up being on defense, and we end up
being on defense because the cabal steps in and the
cabal takes all of the And this gets all the
(19:37):
way back to my conversation about those who might be uneducated.
Although they are highly educated, they're not very well educated.
It gets to the people that are brought up on
government schools. It gets the people who don't understand economics,
that don't understand our constitutional framework.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
They don't understand anything.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
We have raised generation and generation and generation of useful
idiots that are now fellow travelers of someone like zofram Mondanni,
and now we're going to pay the price for it.
And real quick though, did you see that text message
that was talking about the new name for Zofran mom
domit's uh do Zofran mom dummy. Oh yeah, mom dom dummies,
(20:21):
the mom dommies. In fact, it says the day the
mom dommy screwed New York City, I really wish we
could wall off New York City and just let them
conduct your experiment. Show us what four years of socialist, Marxist,
communist rule looks like and for all of those who
(20:41):
are escaping to the to the tri state area, either
escaping into New Jersey or New Canaan, Connecticut, or Westchester County.
You may think you're escaping, but if your business or
your employment is still within one of the five boroughs,
you're still going to pay for it. That's the frightening.
We tend to think that, you know, New York City
(21:03):
is just Manhattan, it's not as those five boroughs. So
there's a lot of people that makes up eight million people,
that eight plus million people that make up those five boroughs.
But another one, why can't they just change that? This
is seventy five thirty two. Why can't they just why
can't the Senate change the filibuster rule back to just
a true filibuster a human must.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Be present to argue?
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Well, they could do that too, except I'm not sure
you could make the rule retroactive. You can make a
proactive you know, for the future, but they're operating under
the current rule. To change the current rule in the
middle of the rule being invoked, you'd have to talk
to the parliamentary.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
And I don't know, I don't know what it would
do In that situation.
Speaker 4 (21:46):
But yeah, that would be a that would be okay
with me, except modern technology would allow somebody to put
in a catheter, to put in a colostomy bag, and
they could poop and pee, and then of course people
could bring them food and they could stand and talk.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
For months on end.
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Now, eventually sleep's going to take them over, and they're
going to pass out and make themselves sick, and they'll
just collapse on the floor. And but you know somebody else,
there'll be a Democrat just waiting, and you know, they'll
hand it off to the Democrat and they'll just continue
to do that. So, once again, considering modern technology, maybe
it is time to get rid of the rule. But
(22:29):
I wanted to go back to This is James Carvill.
This is the SoundBite I played for you yesterday of
James Carvell telling the Democrats that this.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Is what you need to do.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
He tells al Hunt, the Democrats must do a bunch
of manifestly undemocratic things in order to save democracy if
they can manage to take control of Congress in the
White House in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 2 (22:58):
This you know, maybe Trump saw.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
That the Democrats talk about democracy, and you have receive
the importance of democracy, deserve a democracy, and say the democracy. Well,
the truth of that is, people are right when they
say this democracy is really imperfect. And they're going to
have to do if the Democrats win the presidency, the Senate,
and the House in twenty twenty eight, which is not impossible.
Speaker 6 (23:22):
I don't know if you say likely or possible.
Speaker 4 (23:25):
Now, just to give you the perspective you need. If
they win but they don't win sixty votes in the Senate,
the Republicans could invote the filibuster and stop them from
doing these things. But if they win sixty votes or more,
(23:46):
the filibuster becomes meaningless because they've got enough of their
own Democrat votes to end any Republican filibuster. In fact,
practically speaking, to even prevent a filibuster from starting, because
the republic know that the minute they start speaking, somebody
will call for you know, they'll call for a motion
(24:06):
on the floor to end whatever that senator started, and
that takes precedent and boom it'd be over, and then
they would do this.
Speaker 8 (24:16):
I don't know what word you know, but it's certainly
not impossible. They are just going to have to be
lightly at Puerto Rican industry of Columbia states. They're gonna
have to The Congress does give the Constitution gives Congress.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Power over federal elections.
Speaker 8 (24:31):
I don't think they can read district, but they the
things they gon do, they're going to have to do it.
Speaker 6 (24:36):
They're just going to have to do it. And they
may have.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
To expand the court to thirteen members. Any of those
things in isolation, I would be skeptical about. I would
be cautious about. I would say, well, I don't know
if that's the greatest idea in the world. If you're
opening Pandora's box or be it up all kinds of things,
I don't.
Speaker 4 (24:57):
I find it fascinating that he thinks that any individual
thing like that is probably pretty bad. He probably shouldn't
do it. But if we could do the whole shebang,
then let's do the whole shebang.
Speaker 8 (25:09):
If you want to save democracy, I think you've got
to do all those things.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
If you want to save democracy, you have to do
all those undemocratic things. Make Puerto Rico and the DC estate.
Why not make Guama State. Come on, let's let's throw
Gwamma there might tip over, but throw them in there.
And then federalize elections. Yeah, we'll have an election month,
federal elections for Congress and Senate, and the president will
(25:33):
go on from October four to November four, maybe even longer. Dude,
need no sneaking, ID show us the utility bill or
just you know, same day vote, the same day register,
the same day you vote, that other people cast the
ballots for.
Speaker 8 (25:50):
You would just moving further and further away from being
anything closer democracy.
Speaker 4 (25:59):
Yes, well, we're trying to move closer and closer to
being a republic.
Speaker 8 (26:02):
You've dumbass, And I don't know if it's something that
they should talk about during the campaign. I guess you
probably would want to because when you see if you
have a democratic House, a democratic senator, and a democratic president,
they should do that on day one, four more United
States Senators, four more Supreme Court members, and some stringent
(26:27):
national legislation on how you can do Congress they could
they could easily pass a lass and you can only
readistrict once every ten years. Yeah, I mean what precilitated
concertates a crisis with Disupreme courts say you can't expand
to thirteen. They say that's some im tediment to adding
(26:48):
two more states.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Sure what they do, They'll just.
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Issu're a ruling on the chatter docket saying it's over.
Speaker 6 (27:00):
But that's enough.
Speaker 4 (27:03):
Then you go back to what Trump said, and now
you have to start, at least in my mind, start
questioning whether or not I'm wrong and Trump might be right.
Speaker 5 (27:13):
It's time for Republicans to do what they have to do,
and that's terminate the filibuster.
Speaker 6 (27:17):
It's the only way you can do it.
Speaker 5 (27:19):
And if you don't terminate the filibuster, you'll be in
bad check. We won't pass any legislation. There'll be no
legislation passed for three in a quarter. We have three
and a quarter years, so it's a long time. But
when they can't do an extension, and John, I think
they've done an extension every single time they've ever been
asked forever, this is the first time they haven't done
an extension.
Speaker 6 (27:39):
Extensions are supposed to be easy.
Speaker 5 (27:41):
But if they won't do an extension, they won't do
any bill, even a simple bill. Then we should do
our own bills. We should get out, we should do
our own bills. We should open up. We should start
tonight with the country's open congratulations. Then we should pass
voter ID. We should pass no mail in voting. We
should pass all the things that we wanted to pass.
(28:01):
Make our elections secure. And say, because California is a disaster,
many of the states are disasters. But can you imagine
when they vote almost unanimously against voter ID. All we
want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store,
you have to give ID. You go to a gas station,
you give ID. But for voting, they want no voter ID.
It's wony for wonder is it? Because they cheat? We
(28:23):
would pass that in fifteen minutes. If you don't get it,
you'll never pass that. You'll never talk about mail in ballasts.
Mail in ballasts make it automatically corrupt. If you have
mail in ballots automatically it's correct. Even Jimmy Carter, they
had the Quarter Commission after you got out of office,
and he had a group of very distinguished people, Democrats
and Republicans, and they passed they recommend to things take place.
(28:46):
It was a long time ago, and they said about
mail in ballots, if there is mail in ballots, there
will definitely be corruption. Because you know they passed through
too many hands. I mean, you go and to vote
and they want you.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
If I've been Trump.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
Or as an advanced team or his political advisor, I
would have said, after you give this speech, then I
would say, and if we don't eliminate the filibuster and
Democrats win in twenty twenty eight, and they've got sixty
votes in the Senate, or it won't make any difference.
If we get rid of the filibuster, they got fifty
one votes in the Senator, fifty, they've got the trifecta
(29:23):
House and the White House. Then I'd play the video
of Carvel that I just played you and just point
out to all of those senators at that breakfast this morning,
and this is what the country will get, and that
will be the end of the republic.
Speaker 2 (29:39):
Did get off your moral high ground.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
It's time to pack the Supreme Court and Republicans favor
and gerrymander all red states into Republican favor. Do it
or lose because they're going to do it.
Speaker 6 (29:56):
Do people just really not understand this?
Speaker 2 (29:59):
Git You just don't get a DOA.
Speaker 7 (30:04):
No.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
I don't get it at all. I don't understand any
of this.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
If if you don't believe that mom, Donnie or man, dummy,
is out there too. Really just viscerate and you know,
redistribute wealth. No, the UH sees the means of production.
He made it quite clear in his first interview this
morning over on ABC.
Speaker 5 (30:32):
Let's dig into that because you're start talking about a
rent freeze, you're talking about free busses, you're talking.
Speaker 2 (30:36):
About free childcare. Can you do that without raising taxes?
Speaker 9 (30:40):
I think you can do that, And I think you
have to raise taxes on the top one percent of
New Yorkers, New Yorkers who make more than a million
dollars a year, and you do that by raising taxes
by them two percent. And then you also increase the
corporate tax of New York State to match that of
New Jersey. So that takes us from about seven point
twenty five to about eleven point five percent of what
we see in New Jersey.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
So you're going to tax everybody, because everybody pays corporate taxes.
Corporations don't pay taxes.
Speaker 9 (31:05):
But you know that these things together is about nine
billion dollars, which more than pays for our economic agenda
and also starts with Trump proof us.
Speaker 10 (31:11):
But are you worrying that I can drive a lot
of job creators out of New York.
Speaker 9 (31:14):
So what I've heard from a number of business leaders
is that the affordability crisis is also affecting their ability
to attract and retain talent the city.
Speaker 4 (31:22):
So the affordability crisis is already affecting people in their
ability to do their job and run their businesses. So
I want to make it even more less affordable. I'm
going to I'm going to make the affordability crisis even worse.
Speaker 9 (31:38):
These inability to provide childcare means that businesses often have
to provide stipends for that childcare. Right now, the absence
of universal childcare means that universal childcare.
Speaker 3 (31:48):
Wow, your government.
Speaker 9 (31:51):
Child family will pay around twenty two five hundred dollars
a year, which is more money than many of them
would spend if they sent that same kit to college
AI teen years later. And it is time for city
government to actually step up to the responsibility.
Speaker 4 (32:04):
That has City government has responsibility to take care of
your child. And you want to talk about me spreading
this communist slop. No, I'm just telling you what's going
on in the real world right now.
Speaker 10 (32:22):
The city government, that kind of a tax increase is
going to require the state as well, including the Governor
Kathy Hockless, she on board.
Speaker 9 (32:27):
You know, I'm proud to have Governor Kathy hockles endorsement
and the endorsement of our agenda, specifically universal childcare. And
I've said time and again I think these are the
two most direct and straightforward ways to raise this revenue.
If there are other ways to raise this funds, the
most important thing is that we actually fund this agenda.
Speaker 4 (32:43):
Oh and while he's saying that, on the east coast,
out on the left coast this morning, we got this
Yahoo knew some.
Speaker 10 (32:51):
Of the work that the people of the state of
California did tonight to send a powerful message to an
historic president. Donald Trump is an historic president. He is
the most historically unpopular president in modern history. In every
critical category, Donald Trump is underwater. He promised to make
(33:15):
us healthier, he promised to make us wealthier.
Speaker 2 (33:18):
We're sicker and poorer.
Speaker 10 (33:20):
And he fundamentally understands that. Why else, Why else would
he call Greg Abbott saying he's entitled to five seats?
Speaker 6 (33:31):
Why else is he trying?
Speaker 4 (33:34):
I have no idea what they had to do with
us being healthier and wealthier, But that's newsome
