Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ken Belkin joins us. Now our attorney friend from New
York City who is living in probably one of the
craziest places on the globe right now with what's happening
with that to my mayoral race, Ken, welcome in, Thanks
for being.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Here, Thanks for having me. JT. Yeah, it's certainly taking
a very strange turn in New York City.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I mean, it's just one thing after another with this guy.
I don't understand where he's thinking he's going to be
getting all this money to get done what he wants
to do. But here he is, you know, trying to explain,
you know, how he's going to pay for all this
free stuff and you know, take over everything and just
(00:40):
cost tons of money.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Listen, look, a lot of people have called even my
campaign a non starter when we first began, and now
I stand before you proud to be the Democratic nominee
who got the most votes in city primary history, and
I believe we will see the same thing with our
push to ensure that we are taxing the wealthiest and
the most profitable corporations a fair amount that they should pay. Look,
I've said very clearly, making buses fast and free costs
(01:04):
about seven hundred million dollars a year. Making universal childcare
reality costs about five or six billion dollars a year.
If you raise the state's top corporate tax straight to
match that out New Jersey, you'll be raising five billion
in and of itself.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
And insanity from seven to what seven percent to eleven
point five percent on corporations in New York City. These numbers,
first of all, I don't think are gonna fly with corporations.
Second of all, even with all of that, they these
numbers don't add up to be able to do what
he wants to do.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Well. Let's be clear about who this man is. At
the outset, JD. This guy is a communist NEPO baby
who flashes a fake smile that has managed to convince
all these otherwise very intelligent liberal voters in New York
City that he is the second Coming. The reality is,
this is a man who's thirty three years old, who
(01:56):
has never really had a job. JT. When you were
thirty three, how many jobs had you worked at that
point in your life.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I wasn't spewing socialism and whatnot, but by the time
I was thirty three, I probably had you know in
this business that I am in currently now that you
know he wants to get into the business of politics.
Different But by the time I was thirty three, I
had probably a dozen jobs in the field that I
wanted to progress in.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, I probably had a dozen jobs in a field
I didn't want to progress in. But the reality is
I've been working since I was fourteen years old, you know. Yeah,
to hear that a thirty three year old who has
never had a job is about to be given the
keys to the largest, most important city in the world,
I would say, the financial capital of the world, right,
(02:45):
is insanity to me, and some of his policies are
straight from the insane asylum. You know, I'm a criminal
defense attorney, right, so you know I believe in second
chances for people to accuse the crimes and all that.
But when you talk about wanting to not prosecute misdemeanors anymore,
let's talk about. First of a misdemeanor is any crime
(03:07):
that you can go to jail for up to a
year for. Okay, Yeah, that means assaults that don't result
in crazy injuries. You know, someone walks up to you
on the subway, punches you in the face. A couple
of times that's a misdemeanor assault. Someone goes into a
store and steals nine hundred dollars worth of goods, that's
a misdemeanor larceny. And he's talking seriously about not prosecuting
(03:31):
these crimes at all anymore. And he does have that
power as mayor to dictate to the NYPD not to
make certain arrests. That's a very serious problem. On teak
out crazy things, We'll get.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
It's gonna be insane. And on top of that, the
guy is so anti Semitic and has been on the
record as supporting all the Palestinian movements and protests and
violence that's been going on here. I mean, this puts
the American Jewish voters in New York and in a
perplexing situation. Traditionally they're voting Democrat. Now they're blatantly seeing
(04:05):
this man come out after their people. I don't where
are they going to end up with their votes.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
A lot of Jews are still going to vote for
them because a lot of them their empathy has been hijacked.
You say the right things, and they're naives. They've never
had to live through the real threat of anti Semitism,
you know, from politicians in New York City. Now, let's
be clear, there is a real threat of anti Semitism
in New York City. Already. Jewish people make up the
(04:36):
majority of hate crimes committed in New York City are
committed against Jewish people. You know, we have this classidic
Jewish community that dresses a certain way with the black
jackets and the hats and the curls, and they're very
obviously Jewish, you know, and they get attacked on the regular.
They make up something like over fifty percent of all
(04:58):
hate crime victims. And you know, you now got a
guy who's coming in his mayor. He's threatening to arrest
the Prime Minister of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets
foot in New York City, which, first of all, last
time I checked, you needed probable cause that a crime
was committed before you can just say I'm going to
arrest someone. To my knowledge, BB NETANYAHUO hasn't broken any
(05:22):
New York state or city laws that would give the
mayor the right to order him arrested. We still have
a constitution in this country. There still has to be
probable cause that a crime was committed before the state
can take you into custody.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Well, I'm counting down the days as to when Ken
Belkin and his family will leave New York City after
this knucklehead is elected there. It's just, you know, one
thing after another from crazy Democrats and the voters that
are Democrats. Still. Okay, I know it didn't turn out good,
but I'm going to keep voting this direction like they're
brainwashed into voting that way. I don't know if they've
(05:57):
been indoctrinated into this thought process as they were kids,
but boy, I'll tell you, getting the same results time
and time again is definition of insanity if you keep
going for it, and apparently New Yorkers are doing it
so I it looks like he's got this thing pretty much,
you know, in the bag. I mean, when Cuomo's you're
looking at him as the best option. That's not good either.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
Yeah, it's not good. I'm team Curtis Sliwa all the way.
I wish you would take that funny red beret off.
But you know, at a certain point when when you
hear Mandami, the beret becomes kind of charming. Actually exactly.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Well, Ken, I appreciate you, buddy. Always got to catch
up with you, and we'll do it again soon
