  You are listening to the Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio.
• 0:14
  I'm your host Jimmy Hinton.
• 0:16
  Boy, are things heating up in cooled down New York City.
• 0:22
  Voters are having buyers remorse.
• 0:25
  They're uh coming out and protesting outside of Mamdani's residence, uh, shouting shame, shame.
• 0:37
  We advocated for you.
• 0:39
  We voted for you.
• 0:41
  You get up in here and lie to us.
• 0:44
  There is a lot going on in New York City, so buckle up, folks.
• 0:48
  We have a lot to talk about.
• 0:50
  There is good news in the midst of all of this, and we will certainly get to the hidden lightness.
• 0:57
  But for now, New York City is a mess.
• 1:02
  Literally.
• 1:03
  There's snow and trash and sewer rats and defecation.
• 1:13
  Literally everywhere.
• 1:16
  I couldn't believe when I saw the pictures and videos.
• 1:19
  There are lots and lots of pictures and videos.
• 1:23
  And people are outraged.
• 1:25
  Of course, outside of the mayor's mansion, it's perfectly clean.
• 1:32
  People spotted tons of of uh New York workers, city workers out there shoveling snow, um, cleaning up trash.
• 1:46
  They had a couple garbage trucks outside the mayor's mansion, and literally across the street, there are just mounds of trash and snow.
• 1:56
  I mean, as far as the eye can see people are walking and driving through New York City, and this is all of the boroughs, and it is a disaster.
• 2:07
  It looks like a war zone.
• 2:09
  Residents are saying that this is the worst that they've ever seen it.
• 2:13
  Longtime residents of New York City said we have never seen it this bad.
• 2:18
  They didn't even get that much snow.
• 2:21
  They got about 12 inches of snow, and we're talking 30 days in.
• 2:28
  Let's see, what has he unaccomplished?
• 2:31
  What has socialism unaccomplished so far?
• 2:35
  Well, he came out and said, Well, Eric, Eric Adams, uh, he racked up all this debt.
• 2:41
  You know, it's always the other person's fault.
• 2:45
  Man, Donnie says that New York City is sitting right now at a 12 billion dollar deficit.
• 2:53
  Well, I thought they I thought there was just all this free money everywhere.
• 2:59
  I thought he was going to provide free buses and free subways, free transportation, free housing, free groceries, government sponsored grocery stores.
• 3:13
  He promised all this.
• 3:16
  And literally, not even 30 days in, he came out saying, Well, we have a 12 billion dollar deficit, and quote, I don't know how we could be doing any better.
• 3:29
  In other words, he was criticized, and he said, I I don't I don't think I would do anything differently.
• 3:37
  This is unreal, folks.
• 3:39
  I have never seen anything like this.
• 3:42
  And I grew up, so uh, you know, a couple things.
• 3:45
  One, I live in the north.
• 3:48
  There is, uh, if you look this up, it's just verify it.
• 3:52
  Don't take my word for it.
• 3:54
  Pennsylvania built a super truck, a super plow, and they're testing it in my county.
• 4:03
  It's the only county, it's the only truck, it's the only super plow in the state of Pennsylvania.
• 4:09
  Well, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and they're trying it in my county only because of the amount of snowfall that we get.
• 4:18
  We get the most snowfall in the entire state, and that's where they're trying out this super plow on the turnpike.
• 4:27
  And uh I find it really interesting.
• 4:30
  I've been around snow my entire life, and we have to remove snow constantly.
• 4:35
  That's just part of life.
• 4:37
  We live out in the country, and it is a very different culture.
• 4:42
  I mean, very different.
• 4:43
  I'm looking at New York City and I'm like, man, there are people, elderly people climbing up over these walls of snow to get to the bus stop.
• 4:54
  Elderly women with canes, as people are are walking around them, they're falling down, crawling up these mountains of of snow.
• 5:04
  That wouldn't happen here in the country, folks.
• 5:07
  That would not ever happen here.
• 5:11
  People have gone out and uh shoveled neighbors' driveways.
• 5:16
  Happens every single snowstorm.
• 5:18
  People just help their neighbors out.
• 5:21
  And I can't believe in New York City, there's not like you don't see one person with a shovel.
• 5:28
  They're literally walking over elderly people who fall down.
• 5:33
  They're walking around them to get to the bus stops.
• 5:37
  It is a different culture.
• 5:39
  I'm not saying it's, you know, not judging people for living there.
• 5:44
  It's just it's very different.
• 5:45
  It is a very, very different culture, because that kind of stuff wouldn't fly here.
• 5:50
  It would not, that would not happen in the country.
• 5:54
  You're not gonna see stuff like that.
• 5:57
  And in my town, at three o'clock in the morning, I drove through town early on, and there was a road closed that I was gonna turn down, and I was like, what in the world's going on here?
• 6:07
  I looked up and I was like, oh, snow removal.
• 6:11
  They had a whole block shut off.
• 6:14
  It was barricaded, they had uh tons of equipment, front end loaders, tri-axle trucks, they're getting rid of the snow so that people can park.
• 6:24
  They're opening up sidewalks and parking spots and fire hydrants.
• 6:30
  That's what New York City used to do.
• 6:33
  Because when you're in in a compacted town or in a city, there is nowhere to put that snow.
• 6:41
  A foot of snow can be detrimental.
• 6:44
  Yeah, there's literally nowhere to put it when you're in a city.
• 6:48
  So plows, they shove it up onto these piles there, or they just keep plowing to get the roads open.
• 6:55
  That's their priority.
• 6:57
  And all that snow is spilling out the sides of the plow, and you wind up with a wall of snow, literally a wall of snow up against people's parked cars.
• 7:09
  Well, then the people come out and they're they're irate.
• 7:13
  They're like, what are these plow drivers doing?
• 7:16
  Well, they're doing their job.
• 7:20
  I plow snow as well.
• 7:21
  You you can't avoid getting snow up against people's vehicles.
• 7:29
  It's it's impossible.
• 7:32
  It pours into people's driveways.
• 7:34
  People shovel their driveways out, and then they get angry.
• 7:38
  I mean, absolutely irate at the plow drivers because they plow their driveways back shut.
• 7:45
  Well, I know where I live, I constantly have to open up the end of my driveway.
• 7:50
  Because the plow, every time the plow truck goes by, they dump tons of snow into the end of the driveway.
• 7:58
  That's just it is what it is.
• 8:01
  And when you live in the north, you just have to deal with it.
• 8:06
  But I've never seen anything like this in my life.
• 8:08
  I mean, I have never seen images like her coming out of New York.
• 8:12
  And I used to haul trash out of New York City five days a week for several years.
• 8:21
  Over the summers, I'd go to transfer stations right in the heart of New York City.
• 8:26
  And let me tell you, it doesn't take long at all for this trash to get nasty.
• 8:33
  I'd pull into the transfer stations.
• 8:35
  I I I always I was a night owl, so I like to travel at night, and I'd pull into the transfer stations, and they they'd be closed at night, but you could still get in.
• 8:47
  Yeah, it was it was fenced in.
• 8:49
  You could get inside at least the transfer station that I went to, the one that I most often went to.
• 8:55
  You could go in, you could pull inside, and you, you know, if you had a preloaded trailer that was already sitting up there, you could do a drop and hook, you drop your empty hook into the loaded, but then you had to tarp it.
• 9:08
  So you'd pull inside of the transfer station where all the trash is.
• 9:12
  You want to talk about sewer rats like you've never seen before.
• 9:16
  I mean hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of sewer rats, big sewer rats, the size of a shihtsu.
• 9:23
  I mean, these things are monsters.
• 9:26
  They'd be crawling all over my truck.
• 9:29
  I'd have them on the windshield, up on the hood.
• 9:32
  I mean, instantly, as soon as I pulled in, these these sewer rats were everywhere.
• 9:37
  New York City trash is nasty.
• 9:41
  I mean, it's ripe.
• 9:43
  The kinds of stuff that they put into their trash, it ain't sanitary.
• 9:49
  You know, they call them sanitation workers.
• 9:52
  There is nothing sanitary about this stuff.
• 9:55
  New York City trash is nasty.
• 9:59
  And
• 10:00
  Not to be graphic or anything, but people routinely pee into bottles.
• 10:05
  They uh they poop and wrap that stuff up and put it in the trash.
• 10:11
  Uh just all kinds of just the grossest stuff that you could possibly imagine.
• 10:16
  It is vile.
• 10:18
  New York City trash is vile.
• 10:22
  And that's from experience.
• 10:23
  That's I'm not saying that to be rude to New Yorkers.
• 10:28
  It's just nasty.
• 10:31
  So there's this trash laying around.
• 10:33
  And uh I'm gonna read some of the quotes from people.
• 10:36
  This is a New York New York Post article.
• 10:39
  And uh this just published February 1st, so it's it's recent.
• 10:44
  The title of the article is Mayor Mamdanny's Gracie Mansion, noticeably trash free as UES neighbors drown in eight foot piles of garbage.
• 10:56
  That's not an exaggerator.
• 10:58
  Exaggeration.
• 10:59
  These piles are literally eight feet and higher.
• 11:03
  And they're sitting on top of piles of snow.
• 11:06
  So what's interesting is number one, the trash companies can't get to the trash because of where it's located.
• 11:15
  That's why it's piling up.
• 11:17
  You have a week's worth of trash that's piled up eight feet or higher, sitting on top of snow.
• 11:25
  The city can't remove the snow.
• 11:28
  How are they gonna remove that snow when there's these huge mountains of trash on top of it?
• 11:35
  It's a disaster.
• 11:38
  I'll read a little bit here.
• 11:40
  Mayor May, I like how it starts.
• 11:42
  Mayor Mamdoni's New York has become the city that never sweeps.
• 11:52
  Oh, it's so sad.
• 11:54
  Eight foot high piles of rat infested trash are choking the streets around Gracie Mansion.
• 12:02
  While his owner's new home has gotten the white glove shoveling treatment.
• 12:09
  Mamdoni is meanwhile crowd uh crowed that he can't imagine how it could get better in the city.
• 12:17
  Even as more and more New Yorkers are blasting the lack of collectivism in the big apple.
• 12:25
  East End neighbors are being forced to trudge through garbage plagued streets.
• 12:30
  Rodents are found everywhere, mounds of snow just piled up dog high.
• 12:35
  Uh piled up mountain high.
• 12:42
  Animals peeing and pooping all over snow piles, people peeing all over over snow piles.
• 12:50
  This was winter storm fern, which made its impact on New York City.
• 12:55
  It definitely made an impact.
• 12:58
  I mean, this is this is like living in the North 101.
• 13:04
  Is that when you know that you're having a storm coming?
• 13:06
  This storm was not a surprise.
• 13:09
  They were talking about this storm for at least a week, if not longer.
• 13:16
  And they knew exactly the path that the storm was going to go.
• 13:18
  This was like textbook.
• 13:21
  The storm went exactly where and how they predicted.
• 13:26
  There were no surprises with this storm.
• 13:28
  This was not a pop-up storm.
• 13:31
  Zero surprises.
• 13:34
  Living in the North 101 says that you have crews lined up, ready to go.
• 13:40
  You have all the funding.
• 13:41
  You you declare an emergency beforehand, and you have trucks lined up.
• 13:48
  I mean, literally lined up as far as the eye can see.
• 13:51
  And believe me, the pay is nice.
• 13:56
  The pay is very nice, and people will happily volunteer and bring their trucks up there, and they'll line them up.
• 14:04
  These kinds of contracts pay really well.
• 14:08
  But none of that happened.
• 14:11
  You know, you prepare to remove the snow as it's coming down, and you do that at night.
• 14:16
  You do it when the city sleeps.
• 14:20
  None of that happened.
• 14:21
  They didn't remove any of the snow.
• 14:24
  And uh it created not only a disaster, not only a sanitation disaster, but an emergency disaster too.
• 14:35
  Emergency vehicles will read some of that too.
• 14:38
  Uh, EMTs can't get to hospitals because streets are blocked, they can't get to the patients.
• 14:46
  It's a disaster.
• 14:49
  Here's somebody who said, I could I couldn't believe it when I saw yesterday a whole army of sanitation workers plowing and shoveling every bit of snow off that sidewalk or off that side of the street.
• 15:02
  That was local Nick Rivers who said that.
• 15:07
  He's looking at the the mayor's residence.
• 15:10
  He's like, I couldn't believe it.
• 15:14
  Listen to what he said.
• 15:15
  Clean as a whistle for the mayor.
• 15:18
  Look at this side.
• 15:20
  This side is marred by massive piles of garbage as high as six feet that have been building for days and attracting rats.
• 15:30
  Even as Mamdoni late last week patted himself on the back, claiming he's keeping things on track.
• 15:36
  You remember the video of him out there uh, you know, he's with his snow shovel.
• 15:43
  Yeah, we're taking care of New Yorkers.
• 15:49
  What?
• 15:50
  A train wreck.
• 15:54
  Yeah, him with his little snow shovel shoveling a couple flakes of of snow.
• 16:00
  Meanwhile, New Yorkers are absolutely buried.
• 16:03
  He doesn't know a thing about snow removal.
• 16:07
  I mean, this guy's so far, he's so far over his head, just absolutely unbelievable.
• 16:13
  And I really feel for New Yorkers.
• 16:16
  I mean, they have to deal with this kind of garbage, but they voted for him, so I guess the saying is true.
• 16:24
  You get what you voted for.
• 16:27
  I mean, it's sad.
• 16:28
  Half of the people voted for him, the other half didn't.
• 16:31
  And yet everybody gets stuck with it.
• 16:35
  Everybody in New York is stuck with this kind of garbage.
• 16:38
  Literal garbage.
• 16:41
  So here's what Mam Donnie said on Friday.
• 16:44
  He said, I'm new to the job.
• 16:46
  Who cares?
• 16:48
  Good for you.
• 16:50
  I know the burdens will get heavier, but right now I struggle to imagine how it could be better.
• 16:56
  You know, in other words, back off.
• 16:59
  Leave me alone.
• 16:59
  I'm new to the job.
• 17:00
  I'm I'm I'm doing the best I can do.

• 19:54
  New York City is in big trouble in more ways than one.
• 19:58
  Mayor Mamdan.
• 20:00
  He uh boy, he's doing a number on that city.
• 20:04
  And you gotta give the guy credit because he did this in 30 days.
• 20:09
  I mean, if if you're gonna be a socialist and absolutely destroy an entire city, like if you're gonna wreck the city, a lot of people do that over time.
• 20:19
  You know, it takes some time to really screw up this bad.
• 20:23
  But for him, he proved in 30 days what many of us already knew that socialism does not work.
• 20:33
  That when you mess around with socialism, it really hurts people.
• 20:40
  In fact, people die.
• 20:42
  There have already been 16 confirmed deaths.
• 20:45
  Let's just look at some of the quote accomplishments of Mam Donny.
• 20:51
  You know, uh Mam Donnie, who's good buddies with uh Epstein.
• 20:59
  Oh, yeah, Mam Donnie's mom is all through the Epstein files, but you don't hear the left screaming about that, nor do you hear them or see them protesting in New York City that 16 confirmed deaths happened under Mam Donnie's watch.
• 21:14
  They froze to death, literally.
• 21:18
  There are no protests.
• 21:21
  Nobody's out there protesting, talking about how valuable life is, and you know, we had two people killed by ice officers.
• 21:28
  Tragic, they were tragic.
• 21:30
  Let's all take a minute and acknowledge that.
• 21:34
  But there are literal riots in cities all over America right now.
• 21:41
  Because there were two people who died under ICE's watch.
• 21:47
  Mamdoni is responsible for 16 deaths, and that's just from from people who froze to death.
• 21:57
  It's not to mention all the other crap that's going on in New York City.
• 22:02
  But at any rate, uh, here we go.
• 22:05
  Here's an article.
• 22:07
  This is Fox 5, New York.
• 22:10
  And here's the article.
• 22:12
  16 people die from cold in New York City.
• 22:15
  Code blue remains in effect.
• 22:19
  16 people have died over the past two weeks.
• 22:22
  More than a dozen of those deaths were related to hypothermia.
• 22:28
  Uh this is unreal.
• 22:32
  He knew that the storm was coming.
• 22:34
  He knew that the temperatures were going to be extreme.
• 22:38
  And word is on the street that he didn't do a whole lot to get these people in shelters.
• 22:43
  But, you know, he's he's new.
• 22:46
  He's a new mayor, so uh he doesn't see how things could be any better.
• 22:52
  Uh this is unreal.
• 22:54
  A code blue is still in effect in New York City.
• 22:58
  It's an emergency procedure activated when temperatures drop to 32 degrees to protect vulnerable people from extreme life-threatening cold.
• 23:08
  Temperatures in New York City have dropped well below freezing for 10 days in a row.
• 23:15
  Wind chills making it into single digits below zero.
• 23:20
  Um this is terrible.
• 23:26
  Crews in Brooklyn are working nonstop to restore power after thousands of customers lost electricity due to weather-related equipment damage earlier this week.
• 23:39
  Um as snow melts and road salt damages equipment, that equals power outages.
• 23:48
  But at the same time, you have 16 dead people.
• 23:52
  It's very unfortunate.
• 23:56
  Oh, let's see, what else?
• 23:58
  Oh, yeah, the rats that are literally chewing their way through massive heaps of garbage.
• 24:04
  We already mentioned that.
• 24:07
  Live rats everywhere taking over New York City.
• 24:11
  We have piles of snow piled up as high as 10, 15 feet.
• 24:18
  There's nowhere to put the snow.
• 24:20
  I watched a special a little bit ago about uh people talking about this issue of snow mounted everywhere.
• 24:27
  People can't get even to the bus stops.
• 24:31
  And they don't know who's supposed to who's supposed to remove it.
• 24:36
  Yeah, there's this mass confusion over who's supposed to clean the snow, and uh nobody really knows.
• 24:44
  Nobody's taking responsibility.
• 24:46
  So the city comes back and says, well, it's up to the closest business to the bus stops, it's their responsibility.
• 24:54
  The businesses are saying it's it's not our bus stop.
• 25:00
  They're saying it's the city's job.
• 25:03
  Well, then other people are saying it's the sanitation department's job.
• 25:08
  So everybody's pointing fingers, and nobody knows.
• 25:12
  Is this the first time it's ever snowed in New York City?
• 25:16
  I mean, the city is as old as our our nation.
• 25:20
  And they don't have a clue how to remove snow.
• 25:23
  I mean, it's it's literally they're acting like it's the first time they've ever gotten snow, and this is only one foot of snow.
• 25:30
  It's not that big of a deal.
• 25:33
  I mean, it's it's still a lot of snow when you know it's gonna pile up.
• 25:39
  But you have to be proactive.
• 25:40
  You have to stay on top of it.
• 25:43
  And they didn't do that.
• 25:44
  So, as I said, residents are saying this is the worst that they've ever seen in their lifetime.
• 25:49
  Here's another article, New York Post.
• 25:52
  New York City EMT's hospitals plagued by massive piles of weak old snow, thwarting emergency response.
• 26:01
  Quote, it's been a mess.
• 26:03
  Huh, you think massive snowpiles were clogging up streets near Big Apple hospitals more than a week after the deadly storm fern created dangerous obstacles for emergency responders.
• 26:19
  Several EMS workers at New York Presby and um Will Cornell Medical Center on Monday said that they're having serious trouble maneuvering between snowy mountains.
• 26:30
  The post reporter observed at least six ambulances with their sirens going stuck in gridlock traffic along York Avenue.
• 26:40
  Well, that's promising.
• 26:43
  You know, when seconds count, we're only hours away now.
• 26:47
  It used to be we're only minutes away.
• 26:49
  Now now they may as well say when seconds count, we're only hours away.
• 26:55
  Here's another quote here.
• 26:59
  Somebody who's been an EMT of 10 years said, This is one of the worst snow removals that I've seen.
• 27:06
  It's been a while since we've had this amount of snow, but it's affecting the traffic.
• 27:12
  The snowpiles along the street, the double parking of cars, plus the buses that can't pull into their stops, it makes it difficult to get to get around.
• 27:24
  Somebody else who's been an EMT for nine years agreed.
• 27:29
  Said, yeah, it's been a mess on a street.
• 27:31
  It's hard for us to maneuver the stretchers through the snow.
• 27:36
  It's ridiculous.
• 27:37
  You can't get passengers out on top of piles of snow.
• 27:40
  That was an access A ride driver.
• 27:46
  Uh on and on to go.
• 27:48
  I mean, this article just goes on and on and on.
• 27:50
  You can't go anywhere.
• 27:52
  It's nearly impossible.
• 27:54
  And we're on our way to a call right now.
• 27:58
  Then the first responder said, in other countries, they actually take the snow off the ground.
• 28:03
  Here we just push it to the side.
• 28:06
  Well, in New York City, they push it to the side and other cities.
• 28:10
  It's not other countries.
• 28:13
  It's here in the United States.
• 28:15
  I see it all over the place.
• 28:16
  We remove the snow.
• 28:18
  When you get a significant amount, DC does it.
• 28:22
  Baltimore does it.
• 28:24
  I guarantee they're digging out right now from this uh last storm that they got.
• 28:31
  You know, they remove the snow, they get rid of it, they dump it in the rivers before it becomes a problem.
• 28:38
  Not in New York City.
• 28:41
  Not under uh Mayor Mamdanny.
• 28:45
  Rick, a 69-year-old patient who took the city's free access a ride service to the hospital, said it took him nearly an hour to get to Will Cornell.
• 28:57
  And he only lives 20 blocks away.
• 29:01
  I told him to let me out in the middle of the street closest to the crosswalk because there's no other way to get to the sidewalk.
• 29:10
  I mean, on and on and on it goes.
• 29:14
  City sanitation now has these gigantic snow melters.
• 29:21
  They're dumping snow into these machines that melts it, turns it to water, and they dump it down the storm drains.
• 29:28
  But again, it's still it's a big issue because there's so much trash.
• 29:34
  They can't get to all the snow.
• 29:37
  It's a disaster.
• 29:39
  Here, this article addresses exactly what I was just talking about.
• 29:43
  This is Councilman Frank Morano.
• 29:46
  He said in too many cases, the agencies were bouncing responsibility back and forth while residents waited for hazardous conditions to be addressed.
• 29:55
  In other words, yeah, we're just pointing fingers.
• 29:59
  No, no.
• 30:00
  Nobody's taking responsibility for whose job it is to actually remove the snow.
• 30:03
  This shouldn't be that complicated.
• 30:06
  It really isn't that difficult.
• 30:11
  Absolutely crazy.
• 30:13
  So councilman Frank Morano wrote that in a letter to Mayor Mamdanny, saying that he wants a streamlined map of responsible parties.
• 30:25
  Update your map.
• 30:26
  Show us who's responsible.
• 30:27
  Who's responsible for what?
• 30:30
  This is in another article that I'll get to, but residents are being fined for shoveling snow.
• 30:38
  You heard that, right?
• 30:40
  They're being fined whether they shovel or not.
• 30:44
  If they don't shovel, they're being fined.
• 30:46
  The owners of buildings are being fined for not removing the snow.
• 30:51
  If they remove the snow and it falls into the street, which it's going to because there's nowhere to put it.
• 31:00
  Trust me.
• 31:02
  These mountains of snow.
• 31:06
  As they go up, they come to a point, and that's only at about four feet high.
• 31:14
  And once you get so high, it just everything you put on top, it just falls down the sides, and it goes back out into the street.
• 31:22
  So now they're issuing fines if people are, quote, illegally putting snow back out into the street.
• 31:29
  Well, there's nowhere to put it.
• 31:32
  That's the problem.
• 31:35
  You know, they can they can dig um pathways.
• 31:38
  That's what I was talking about earlier.
• 31:40
  This kind of stuff wouldn't fly out in the country.
• 31:44
  You know, it's a the they ought to shovel a little narrow path so that people don't have to climb mountains to get on the bus.
• 31:54
  And that's the other issue, too.
• 31:56
  You have handicapped people, people that are uh wheelbearer wheelchair bound, who they can't even get to the bus stops, let alone get on the bus.
• 32:08
  It is an absolute nightmare.
• 32:11
  So, yeah, the councilman's saying, hey, you know, we need an updated map of who's responsible.
• 32:18
  He went on to say it's it's not a personnel issue.
• 32:22
  It's a systems issue.
• 32:24
  In other words, we have the personnel.
• 32:26
  We have the people to remove it.
• 32:29
  But the system is absolutely broken.
• 32:34
  Sanitation workers are were continuing to work 12 hour shifts to quote continue to remove snow to break up big ridges to haul it away to massive snow melters.
• 32:47
  Property owners must do their part.
• 32:50
  That was a DSNY spokesperson talking to the post.
• 32:57
  Just crazy.
• 32:58
  Uh, as of 7 a.m.
• 33:00
  Monday of this week, DSNY wrote 1,900 summons to property owners for failure to clear snow and ice from a sidewalk.
• 33:11
  Where are they gonna put it?
• 33:14
  And about 50 for illegally throwing snow back into the street or into a bike lane.
• 33:20
  There is nowhere to put the snow, it needs to be removed.
• 33:26
  Yeah, this is wild.
• 33:29
  But the the trash is the one that really gets me.
• 33:34
  So uh back to the original article that I shared.
• 33:38
  This one's fascinating.
• 33:39
  This is also a New York Post article.
• 33:44
  Um people are saying I, you know, I couldn't believe it.
• 33:49
  When I saw yesterday, this was Nick Rivers, this whole army of sanitation workers cleaning out the mayor's mansion.
• 33:58
  But literally across the street, there's this mountain of trash and snow.
• 34:04
  Lots of other people reporting the same thing, saying that we've never seen it this bad.
• 34:13
  Um another resident said this.
• 34:17
  Don't get me started.
• 34:19
  I think his wife, that's Mandoni's wife.
• 34:22
  I think his wife must have complained about the pea in the snow.
• 34:26
  I don't even look when I come out of the building.
• 34:29
  It's gross.
• 34:30
  The rats are inside the recycling bags.
• 34:34
  Another local said, my street is lined with bags, many of them opened with crap all over the street.
• 34:39
  That's what I'm talking about.
• 34:41
  I didn't even read this article.
• 34:42
  I can tell you, I'm I I hauled trash for years out of New York City.
• 34:46
  It's what they do.
• 34:47
  I don't, I never understood.
• 34:50
  I I don't get it.
• 34:52
  Why you poop and put that inside of a trash bag?
• 34:55
  I just I don't get it.
• 34:57
  I don't understand it.
• 34:59
  Uh is this people who have slum lords.
• 35:05
  You know, the toilets broken, so they just poop in in garbage bags.
• 35:10
  I don't, I don't get it, but I'm telling you, every single day that I hold trash, there was fecal matter everywhere.
• 35:18
  Everywhere, and the smell, you can't mistake the smell.
• 35:23
  So another local said, My uh, you know, uh, this was the same one.
• 35:28
  My streets lined with bags, many of them opened with crap all over the street.
• 35:32
  My daughter had to dodge a used sanitary sanitary pad.
• 35:39
  Um another resident said, uh, New York City put a photo with a mountain of trash bags on on the city sidewalk.
• 35:49
  There are more and more.
• 35:51
  Lots more.
• 35:52
  Uh, ma'am Donnie in his inauguration speech.
• 35:57
  He urged New Yorkers to replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
• 36:05
  Uh, how's that collectivism working for you there, ma'am?
• 36:07
  Donnie.
• 36:08
  How's it working for your residents?
• 36:10
  As he said in your cleaned up mansion, your your sparkling white mansion with literal heaps of trash all over the city and literally right across the street from you.
• 36:22
  You know the disease, the amount of disease that's just festering with all this trash would replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism.
• 36:35
  TV's will and grace star Deborah Messing.
• 36:39
  She's a Brooklyn native.
• 36:42
  Currently living in the city.
• 36:45
  She was griping about uh how all the snow is it's impeding traffic.
• 36:53
  She wrote this.
• 36:54
  Sitting in a taxi trying to get to an appointment should take 20 minutes.
• 36:58
  We are at an hour and 10 minutes and counting.
• 37:02
  I can't imagine the tempers right now in New York City.
• 37:07
  She went on to say the streets are a disaster.
• 37:10
  It hasn't snowed in five days, and the streets still haven't been cleared.
• 37:15
  Poor ambulance sitting in essentially a parking lot with sirens going.
• 37:19
  I'm praying for the person needing emergency care.
• 37:23
  She went on.
• 37:24
  I've lived here for 15 years.
• 37:28
  This go around.
• 37:30
  And this has never happened.
• 37:33
  The plows have always worked around the clock to get the city back to working.
• 37:38
  I'm wondering what happened with a question mark.
• 37:41
  Hang in there, New Yorkers.
• 37:42
  I know it happened.
• 37:44
  What do you think happened?

• 39:09
  A promise they agree to in 2018.
• 39:12
  Well, the American people have seen Google's track record.
• 39:16
  Is Google and untrustworthy player in the AI race.
• 39:25
  Now is our time, my fellow America upload.
• 39:32
  And justice for all.
• 39:46
  I mean, just everything wrong.
• 39:48
  And uh it's no surprises, no shock.
• 39:51
  We've been worn about that.
• 39:52
  I warned about this.
• 39:53
  I said this is not gonna end well for New York City.
• 39:58
  I didn't know it would only take 30.
• 40:00
  Days.
• 40:00
  I mean, we've got to give Mam Donnie credit for letting the city crash and burn that quickly.
• 40:07
  That's impressive.
• 40:09
  I mean, it's like you have to work overtime to make it fall apart this quickly.
• 40:14
  And it's sad for the residents.
• 40:16
  It really is.
• 40:16
  I'm not making fun here.
• 40:18
  I'm making fun of him.
• 40:21
  But I'm not making fun of the people of New York.
• 40:24
  It stinks for them.
• 40:25
  It's um literally stinks for them with all this trash laying around.
• 40:29
  They're just in a really bad position.
• 40:32
  And I wish people would quit falling for this crap.
• 40:36
  That socialism saves that that's the answer.
• 40:38
  You know, the Boiney Sanders.
• 40:41
  I'm a proud socialist.
• 40:45
  Thank God.
• 40:48
  Thank God that that man was never in charge of our nation.
• 40:53
  I mean, can you imagine?
• 40:56
  If he had won the presidency, if Boine Sanders had won the presidency and implemented his socialist agenda.
• 41:04
  Look at look at the damage that Obama did in eight years.
• 41:10
  Oh, he was the he was a great president.
• 41:13
  He was so graceful and he was so eloquent.
• 41:16
  Well, one question for all of you.
• 41:19
  For everybody who has health insurance right now.
• 41:24
  How's that working out for you?
• 41:28
  You know, that whole idea was the socialist idea that the government's going to take care of you.
• 41:34
  We've got you.
• 41:35
  We've got your back.
• 41:36
  We're here for you.
• 41:40
  Now it's it just does not work.
• 41:44
  It can't work.
• 41:44
  There's not enough money.
• 41:46
  There's too much waste.
• 41:48
  You're literally dependent on the government.
• 41:51
  The government shut down.
• 41:52
  Everybody was panicking because they weren't sure how they were going to pay their next health care premium.
• 42:00
  Why?
• 42:01
  Because they're dependent on the government.
• 42:05
  The government, at any time when they're in charge of anything, they can screw you over in a heartbeat.
• 42:11
  And they will.
• 42:13
  Look at New York City.
• 42:14
  You think you think Mamdanny cares?
• 42:18
  You think he cares that millions of people are crippled?
• 42:22
  They can't go to work.
• 42:26
  People in wheelchairs can't go to doctor's appointments because they can't make it to the bus.
• 42:32
  Do you think he's wringing his hands, losing sleep?
• 42:34
  No.
• 42:35
  What's he doing?
• 42:37
  This is how socialism works.
• 42:40
  He's in his mansion, literally that he had crews working around the clock to clean up.
• 42:46
  It's spotless.
• 42:47
  The snow is gone, the trash is gone.
• 42:51
  He's in his mansion enjoying life while literally across the street, there's a mountain of trash.
• 43:05
  So I'm gonna read a little bit more.
• 43:08
  I mean, this is just never ending.
• 43:10
  And this is only a small sampling.
• 43:11
  These are just reporters walking the streets talking to random people.
• 43:18
  Stephen Miller commented on Messing's tweet.
• 43:21
  She's like, you know, I wonder what happened.
• 43:23
  Hang in there, New Yorkers.
• 43:26
  She's in a taxi for an hour and a half for a drive that should take 20 minutes.
• 43:32
  Still not there, as she's tweeting.
• 43:36
  So Stephen Miller commented he goes, yeah, the collective is warming up.
• 43:43
  So you have the botched cleanup, the lack of snow removal, the trash everywhere.
• 43:48
  Homeless people dying like crazy.
• 43:53
  It's insane.
• 43:56
  So about 2500 sanitation workers are putting 12 hour shifts in to shovel bus stops, crosswalks, fire hydrants.
• 44:07
  But they say it's put garbage pickups a day behind schedule.
• 44:11
  This is not one day worth of trash.
• 44:13
  What I'm looking at, that is not one day of trash.
• 44:16
  There are mountains of trash.
• 44:19
  I mean, as far as the eye can see, it looks like a third world nation.
• 44:24
  It is crazy.
• 44:29
  Um, so the statement from the mayor's office, we're prioritizing trash and composting.
• 44:37
  Stuff gets gross over recyclables.
• 44:43
  So they're saying, well, we're, you know, the the trash and the composting stuff, we're picking that up over recyclables.
• 44:53
  So the trash you're seeing, that's that's just recyclables.
• 44:56
  You know, the other stuff gets gross.
• 44:57
  So the stuff that doesn't, the paper, cardboard, that kind of stuff.
• 45:01
  We're, you know, we'll get to that.
• 45:04
  But that's not at all true.
• 45:07
  Absolutely 100% not true.
• 45:11
  So then they went on to say most New Yorkers were will recall that this is standard practice during and after winter weather events.
• 45:20
  No, it's not.
• 45:24
  This is anything but standard.
• 45:28
  And the and the residents are saying it.
• 45:32
  You know, it said that uh these statements did little to appease folks, forced to live with the mess.
• 45:40
  New Yorker Josh Tepper said it's the most vile thing.
• 45:47
  He uh lives on it on a top floor overlooking the Gracie mansion from his apartment.
• 45:54
  He said, I think it's the worst in New York history.
• 45:59
  Huh?
• 46:00
  Seems like a common thread.
• 46:02
  A lot of people are saying that.
• 46:03
  We've never seen it this bad.
• 46:07
  He said, uh, you know, this New Yorker Josh Tepper, he went on to say, his one strip, that is Mam Donnie's, his one strip is nice, but where all the civilians live, it's a complete disaster.
• 46:20
  The socialist king gets to have a clean driveway.
• 46:23
  It just makes me enraged.
• 46:27
  Other people agreed.
• 46:29
  East Cider Frederick Rady said it's very dirty.
• 46:34
  Actually, we have people visiting, and it's a little embarrassing.
• 46:39
  President Chris Kendall called the situation very concerning.
• 46:44
  They usually pick up the recycle on a Monday, so it's almost been a week.
• 46:50
  Huh, that's funny.
• 46:51
  Uh Mandani's office put a statement out saying the trash is one day behind.
• 46:56
  You know, bear with us, the trash pickup is one day behind.
• 47:00
  Told you that's not a day's worth of trash.
• 47:04
  There are mountains of trash everywhere you look.
• 47:10
  Um he goes on, he says, I don't know why they can't pick it up.
• 47:14
  I mean, buses are still running and the city is still operating.
• 47:18
  So I'm not sure why they're not able to reduce some of the garbage on the streets.
• 47:24
  Huh.
• 47:27
  Another neighbor said in in the Bronx.
• 47:30
  Every time it snows, it gets worse.
• 47:35
  Like uh down the block by the courthouse, they clean that up.
• 47:41
  You know, they make the courthouse look nice.
• 47:43
  They they make the mayor's mansion look nice, but everywhere else, it's just it's trash.
• 47:53
  So, yeah, crazy stuff.
• 47:55
  This is this is wild.
• 47:56
  It's getting very wild, but it's predictable, and that's the sad thing.
• 48:02
  It's so so predictable, unreal.
• 48:07
  Socialism does not work.
• 48:10
  But you know, it's interesting to me because it's a socialist who want to talk down to everybody else and talk about how bad the billionaires are.
• 48:19
  They take advantage of people.
• 48:22
  Yeah, they're ripping you off, and we're here to protect you.
• 48:25
  We're here to take from, we're we're gonna take from the rich in the form of tax, and we're gonna give it back to you, the people.
• 48:36
  How's that working out for you, New York?
• 48:40
  I mean, you guys voted for them.
• 48:45
  How's that working out for you?
• 48:51
  Doesn't work.
• 48:53
  It never has.
• 48:56
  And that's why conservatives rightly say we need less government, not more.
• 49:04
  The less governments involved in our lives, the better off we are.
• 49:10
  Every single time we become dependent on the government, you have the next government shutdown.
• 49:18
  You have Doge.
• 49:22
  Right?
• 49:24
  Trimming all the fat.
• 49:26
  All these programs that people became so dependent on, they just started getting cut.
• 49:33
  And then people are out, they're outraged at the government.
• 49:36
  They're like, how dare you?
• 49:41
  Yeah, it it's it's it's crazy.
• 49:43
  It's crazy, crazy, crazy.
• 49:45
  So, ma'am Donnie.
• 49:46
  Uh, this is really interesting.
• 49:48
  This is a Times of India article here.
• 49:55
  Quote, we know about your mom.
• 49:58
  Zaron Mamdan.
• 50:00
  Donnie faces heat over Epstein Row.
• 50:03
  Supporters heckle New York City mayor at home.
• 50:07
  He was heckled by voters outside Gracie Mansion, the place where he resides over the newly released U.S.
• 50:17
  DOJ, Jeffrey Epstein related records that mention his mother.
• 50:22
  Maria Nair.
• 50:26
  Videos show New York City residents gather outside Mamdanny's home, speaking into a megaphone and constantly yelling, shame, shame.
• 50:38
  And these are his voters.
• 50:40
  Listen to this.
• 50:49
  We advocated for you.
• 50:51
  So this is what I mean.
• 50:54
  They turn on their own instantly in a heartbeat.
• 50:59
  Because it's all they know how to do.
• 51:03
  There are no policies.
• 51:04
  There are no plans.
• 51:06
  There are no goals.
• 51:10
  Tax the rich, villainize people, point fingers at people, and that's all they know how to do.
• 51:18
  They've created a whole class of bullies.
• 51:22
  Right?
• 51:23
  Imagine kids at school.
• 51:24
  All they know how to do is just constantly talk trash about their their classmates, about their peers.
• 51:30
  Fascist, Nazi.
• 51:34
  You're you're terrible.
• 51:35
  You're a terrible person.
• 51:36
  You're immoral.
• 51:37
  You're awful.
• 51:40
  You're the worst.
• 51:43
  You know, throwing themselves down and screaming, blowing whistles.
• 51:47
  Can you imagine a room full of kindergartners like that?
• 51:51
  Well, it's basically what we have, except they're not kindergarteners, they're adults now.
• 51:57
  But this is what the Democratic Party has produced.
• 52:02
  And now they're they're protesting the very guy that they put into office 30 days in.
• 52:11
  It's wild.
• 52:12
  I mean, what did you people expect?
• 52:16
  Huh.
• 52:18
  You ain't getting nothing.
• 52:20
  Get up in here and you lie to us.
• 52:22
  You lied, Zaron.
• 52:24
  Shame, Zaron.
• 52:26
  That's what they're yelling into megaphones.
• 52:28
  That's a direct quote.
• 52:32
  Crazy.
• 52:35
  Um.
• 52:37
  Yeah, this uh Mamdanny's mom is all through these files.
• 52:42
  All over them.
• 52:43
  She was pictures of her with uh you know, being all buddy buddy with Epstein.
• 52:50
  Absolutely crazy.
• 52:53
  And they're a lot.
• 52:54
  Jay-Z.
• 52:55
  Yeah, it's rumored that Beyonce is filing for divorce.
• 52:59
  He's all through it.
• 53:01
  Everywhere.
• 53:03
  So on and on, it's you know, it's really blown up on the left because they wanted Trump so bad.
• 53:08
  They they were they were desperate, they were drooling because they just knew that they had him.
• 53:16
  It turns out that literally every time that he shows up in these files, people have dug through them.
• 53:23
  Now, not everything yet, because it's three and a half million pages.
• 53:29
  But people have dug through, and they found literally every time that Trump shows up, it's discredited people, it's uh people that needed mental evaluations, uh, ordered by the court.
• 53:44
  You know, those are the people making mild accusations.
• 53:50
  But then you have a lot of people on the left.
• 53:52
  I mean, Bill Gates, my goodness, the kind of dirt.
• 53:56
  I'll bet you he's extremely nervous right now.
• 54:01
  And so these people ought to be brought to justice.
• 54:04
  I mean, I'm a hundred percent for that.
• 54:07
  Whoever's in these files, I don't care who it is.
• 54:09
  You know, if if they were doing illegal activity, 100%.
• 54:13
  I don't care what political party they belong to, let justice prevail.
• 54:19
  But boy, is it getting wild out there?
• 54:21
  Well, uh, the good news is that we have control over what we do, right?
• 54:28
  We have somewhat of control.
• 54:31
  And this is what I talk about all the time.
• 54:33
  It's you know, we do what we have control of, and you don't worry about the rest.
• 54:38
  I I don't like depending on the government.
• 54:42
  Uh, I don't like waiting for the next government handout.
• 54:46
  Uh, so we gotta take control of our own lives.
• 54:49
  And I've teased this for a while now, but uh my newest book finally came out.
• 54:55
  I'll link to it.
• 54:57
  It'll be in the uh the author store as well.
• 55:00
  We have a list of books that those of us who uh host shows we've written.
• 55:06
  Uh, there's quite a collection there.
• 55:08
  But it's called Tithing Your Time, Treasure and Talent: A Practical Guide to Biblical Budgeting and Investing.
• 55:15
  It's a super quick read.
• 55:17
  Uh, it's it's to help people who make a very mediocre income.
• 55:22
  My wife and I make I mean very, very modest incomes.
• 55:27
  We get no benefits whatsoever.
• 55:30
  Zero.
• 55:31
  And we're building wealth.
• 55:33
  We have a paid-for home.
• 55:35
  Uh, we budget very aggressively, we invest very aggressively, and uh, we're on the fast track to retire super early.
• 55:46
  It can be done.
• 55:48
  And we've got to get control of the things that we can control in our own lives.
• 55:53
  We have to.
• 55:55
  Because so many Americans right now are just waiting for the government to show up and to give them the next handout.
• 56:02
  And it doesn't work that way.
• 56:05
  It can't work that way.
• 56:07
  It shouldn't work that way.
• 56:10
  So we have the responsibility to tithe our time, get control of our time, get control of the treasure that God's given us, the things he's blessed us with, you know, and our our money and our talent.
• 56:26
  You know, the gifts and abilities that God's given us, we've got to give the first fruits of that back to God.
• 56:32
  We've got to be giving in the way that we spend our time with other people.
• 56:37
  Uh, that's what this show is all about.
• 56:40
  It's about blessing other people, letting your hidden lightness shine, and just getting out on the streets and and rolling up your sleeves and helping your neighbor.
• 56:49
  And when we do that, the world becomes a much more beautiful place, and it doesn't look like New York City right now.
• 56:56
  And uh, you know, let's pray for New York City.
• 56:59
  It's uh such a mess.
• 57:03
  Well, there you have it.
• 57:04
  You can find more out about my show and get all the latest podcasts if you go to the menu navigation bar at America Outloud.news under our shows or schedule.
• 57:12
  You'll be in the know.
• 57:13
  There is a hidden lightness that shines inside of all of us.
• 57:16
  When so much darkness envelops the world, remember that it doesn't take much light to expose that darkness and to ultimately inspire other people.
• 57:23
  Join me in being a light.
