This Is Why Communists Are TAKING OVER NYC…

Ma'am, your thoughts on Zoran Mamdani? Oh my god. Yeah, come on in. All I can say is, knowing how his wife feels, there's no way you can be married to somebody that rabid and not feel exactly the same way she feels. She hates, hates Jews. She celebrated October 7th. There's no way you can be married to that and not feel the same exact way. There are a ton of Jewish people in New York City. Do you think the overwhelming majority of New Yorkers even know about that stuff that you just brought up right there? I don't think so, but I will say one thing about him. I have lived here for a long time, and I came back in January from the Caribbean after that huge snowstorm. It was the first time in my life that the sidewalks were clear. So I do give him credit for that. What neighborhood did you see sidewalks being cleared at? In Chelsea. Okay. So from 23rd to 7th, from 8th to 7th, the sidewalk, instead of having that foot wide thing, now I'm coming back from the Caribbean in sneakers. Yeah. Okay, yeah, I sound like a princess right now. I did give him credit for that because it was the first time in like the 40 years I've lived here that that was done. Now I've heard mixed reviews on that. Oh really? Was it everywhere or was it just in your area or in a few areas? What do you think? I can't imagine that it would be nowhere but 23rd and 8th in Chelsea, where, you know, it's not exactly- I would test your imagination. It was the worst snow cleanup I've ever seen, and I've been here for over half a decade. Well, I was stuck in the Caribbean for three extra nights, so I got back three days later. He had to, in the midst of the snowstorm, you probably came at the very tail end of it because it was so bad that he had to hire additional workers. No, I heard that. And it was documented, yeah. But I'm like, nobody else ever thought of that. Nobody ever thought, oh, pay the sanitation workers to shovel. Because people were complaining that he didn't, you know, that he should have used the sanitation workers. Well, no other mayor ever thought of that either, so. It's very interesting because little things like that can actually add to overall kind of outlook in the city of saying, oh look, the little things are being done, and that can make a big difference. It is quality of life. But, when this guy lets a bunch of Hamas supporters, and I'm not talking about pro-Palestinians. No, I've seen this stuff, yeah. I mean, Hamas supporters protest in front of synagogues. You want to protest, protest in front of the Israeli consulate. They have Mossad guys, they can handle it. But to protest in front of a synagogue? He wouldn't let anyone be protesting in front of a mosque, or a church, or any other place, but he hates us. And that's all I can say. Last question for you, ma'am. And I'm so curious your thoughts on this. Obviously, New York is a very liberal city. A lot of the Jewish community is very liberal in New York City. I know it's not all. I'm curious. Are you liberal, or are you more conservative? I'm a raging liberal, and most of us feel like we almost have no place in the party because this whole confusion of Jews and the Israeli government, I mean, most Israelis don't support the Israeli government. I've been to Israel once in my life, in my 60s. You're an American. I'm an American. My family fought in the Civil War. But I was in Israel four years ago, and every single night they were protesting against the Netanyahu government. They hated the Netanyahu government. So to conflate Jews with Israel is very, very disturbing. The reason why I ask this question, and I hope you don't mind me kind of probing on that, is because it does seem as though DSA and their allies, which are the ones that are pushing that, are becoming a lot more mainstream. I would say that very confidently. I talk to protesters all the time. I don't just talk to protesters. I talk to people on the street all the time that are just your everyday Americans, and that influence has gotten a lot more towards that direction. What are you planning on doing when it comes to the next election? I mean, are you going to just look for somebody that's more moderate, or what if that's not an option anymore? What are your thoughts? I mean, I'm voting Democrat all the way. I would never be a one-issue Democrat. You know, it is what it is. We need to get these hardcore Trump-MAGA people out no matter what, and if Zoran is the candidate for president, I will vote for Zoran. Anything to get rid of these people. They're heinous. They're corrupt. They're criminals, and they need to go. So that's worse than what you're seeing on the left in your view, then? Exactly. I mean, he has a lot of influence. He can really get us killed in New York, but in the national scheme of things, he doesn't have that much impact. This is where, you know, it's funny. This is where I disagree. I don't know where this is going. Oh, it's okay. No, no. It's on James Clude's YouTube channel. But me personally, I mean, I totally disagree on that when it comes to the shift to both sides. When it comes to the right, if you look at the Republican platform of 2000, or let's say the year 2000 compared to now, there's very few things that the Republican Party has shifted on. If you look at the Democratic Party platform from 2000 to now, it's virtually unrecognizable. Now, hey, maybe you endorse going that far left. Okay, that can be a conversation there. But when I look at it, I see a lot of people on the left radicalizing to the point where now there's socialist politicians that are taking over major American cities. That could potentially be problematic. What do you think about that take? I don't think there's socialist politicians taking over. Soran is the only one, and he has no control over the financial, I mean, yeah, he's going to do this tax on some candidators. I kind of agree with that. When you are up in Central Park, in the sheep meadow, and you see all those lights, and all of those apartments are dark. All of those apartments and those multi-billion dollar apartments, I mean, those people can do whatever they want, but they should be paying their fair share of taxes. How would you respond to the argument that they already do pay their fair share in taxes? In fact, Ken Griffin has paid billions of dollars to New York City. He has hired countless amounts of people that all contribute to the economy, and the 1% of New Yorkers pay almost 50% of this city's tax base. Right, and the 1% of New Yorkers make a lot of money on the backs of New Yorkers. They help New Yorkers out. They are only a value add, and them getting richer doesn't make us any poorer. It's not a zero-sum game. And let me just say this as well. They absolutely do not. It's a big, beautiful bill, giving them all those tax breaks and taking away Medicare, Medicaid. Tax breaks from like 10 years ago. How would you respond to the argument that states are competing with one another for these businesses? For example, if you push the likes of Ken Griffin out, and California is a prime example. You know what? Republicans have been saying stuff like that for years. And it's occurring. That if you take away our money, we will move. They're all here. They have not left. Right now, you are watching in real time the exodus. Look at California when they implemented the wealth tax, Zuckerberg, Musk. All of these big billionaires are not just talking about it, they're doing it. They're moving it. They're moving it to Texas. My building is full of Chinese people that were not there a year ago. Sure. I'm not saying that New York is not seeing people coming in, but Kathy Holko herself has gone on the record saying, we need these richer folks to come back into the city because the exodus is causing the budget deficit. That is a Democrat admitting that in plain sight, explicitly. I should show you the photo of a friend of mine's house in St. Bart, where it's at the top of the island. Big, beautiful house. Big, beautiful house worth maybe a billion. She is now looking for a two-bedroom apartment in Manhattan. There's plenty of money coming into Manhattan. I know a lot of realtors. Everybody's happy. Sure, but we're not talking about anecdotal and specific isolated examples. We're talking about broadband policy. You are talking about anecdotal. You're talking about a few billionaires. We're leaving the city. That's not just a toss-up. That's not a Starbucks barista. That is an exodus of all of the value they bring to the city. It is a suicidal policy. And I will raise you this, okay? If you are against that 1% and you are for taxing them to the point where they would I'm not against the 1%. I'm a luxury travel advisor. I'm for the 1%. I love when people spend $5,000 or $6,000 a night on a hotel. That's fine with me, but the reality is those people are not paying their fair share in taxes. They know they're not paying their fair share in taxes. I could not disagree more. Because Jeff Bezos pays billions of dollars in taxes. Yes, and Jeff Bezos makes billions and billions and billions of dollars that he earns on people working for him. He pays them at competitive wages. No, no, no. He is nothing but a light on this earth. Thank God. No, no, no. There is not a single country on planet earth that would not benefit exponentially by Jeff Bezos and all of his business going to this country. Okay. It's been a pleasure, guys. Have fun. Thank you, ma'am. Have a good one, okay? They're not paying their fair share, man. They gotta pay more. Keep in mind, you guys, New York City, twice the budget of Tokyo and a smaller population, but the rich aren't paying their fair share, you guys. If we just throw billions more at the meat grinder, it'll actually fix the city. It's crazy, actually. If you just throw a hundred bucks on the ground like this, it just fixes things. Let me speak to that for a second, too. People need to reorient themselves on the prospect that money is not a zero-sum game. Money is not gold in the sense of one rich person can hoard all that to the disadvantage of others because it's some finite resource. Jeff Bezos being a billionaire, Mark Zuckerberg being a billionaire does not prevent you and I from becoming a billionaire. If we create some product and there's a market for it, all right? So if you start with that premise, this concept that, oh, this magnitude of wealth is hurting the American people, it's not. These folks, Mark Zuckerberg, use any billionaire that you want. They are nothing but a value add, and them getting richer does not make you any poorer. Now, if you want to have the objection and say it is unconstitutional and it is improper for a billionaire to exercise too much authority in influencing our government, sure, you've got a fair argument. But we should be doing everything that we can to attract billionaires here, and call this as radical a take as you want, lowering the amount of taxes that they pay. Here's why. Cities like Miami and states like Florida understand this to a T. Countries in, or sorry, states like Texas understand this specifically. They are doing the opposite of what we're doing. They are lowering taxes as an incentive because they understand by billionaires going there, it's not just the billionaires benefiting. It's the entire state's economy. They benefit by all the jobs, products, goods, and services that these billionaires provide. I want to touch on one thing as well, which I think is equally as important as she's saying, oh, it's just fine. I have Chinese people moving in. It's like, no, no, no, no. Hold on. We're talking about making this system work for the American people, not just a, oh, don't worry, like, you know, everything is a mess and, oh, don't worry, rich people will move in. Even if they're foreigners, it's totally fine. Your point was about, it makes the place better for, I think, generally speaking, the American people, probably everybody, but also the American people. That's who our government's supposed to be prioritizing. She's saying it doesn't matter if people leave because we can import mass foreigners. Yeah, that was, I'm glad you caught that when she was saying that. All due respect, I just civilly disagree with this woman, but I think the most wild thing that she said is she begins it by saying Zoran Mamdani's wife has all this anti-Semitic hatred in her heart. There's no way that Zoran doesn't share those views as well. Then she concludes with, I would rather Zoran be president than Trump. How do you do that? Those mental gymnastics there. I was like, so you're openly admitting and conceding in your point of view that he is an anti-Semite and that he could have your people killed. Those were her words. But you'd rather him be president than Trump. That is, to me, just mind-blowing. Well, and that's kind of where I took the, for that conversation, I took it to the direction of, well, let's look at both the parties, let's see who's actually radicalized here. We're now debating and having to debate on the street with people, open borders, basically saying you can't have a country anymore. You know, I've heard, I've said this a million times, like, okay, I'm not, we shouldn't even, we should never meet people like that in the middle. But that's where the national conversation is at because the party has radicalized so much. And so I painted that picture for, I don't know if that one landed. I think, I know, I understand what you're saying. I think she maybe didn't care. I think it's an important point, and I've heard you say that, and I completely agree, is that if you are for open borders, think about what that would mean. We don't even need to articulate that. It's hard to meet these people in the middle ground and be like, hey, let's try to be moderate. That's so radical that moderate doesn't even come close to a concept like that. No, if you meet somebody open borders, you meet them in the middle, you get far left. Yep. Radical. Radical far left. I'm okay. I like keeping the country the way it is.
