  Speaker 3: Grotesque and risque and less classy.

  Speaker 2: That's why they used that.

  Speaker 2: A community. I I don't know.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: This guy's lamentations are stupid, but guess what, we're gonna
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: love and enjoy. It's a wonderful life every time we
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: watch it, and you should too. Now, there are a
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: couple of other news items I want to talk about,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: and of course, to me, someone that I hope is not.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: A scrooge once he gets elected is Mom and Donnie.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is I hope when
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: he gets inaugurated, I should say this upcoming Monday, and
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they're having like a whole block party about it. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: don't know if I should go or not. I really
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: don't feel like it. But anyway, we'll be in the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: area somehow because I literally worked three blocks from the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: city Hall, so we'll have to see if I feel
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like going there just to see who's in that scene.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: But I digress. I digress because.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: I've been mentioning some of the appointments that he's been
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: making over these months since being elected.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: But the New York.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Post in there off ed earlier this week called them
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Zoe's team of terrors, and we all know what happened
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: to the director of Appointments, Catherine al Monte da Costa,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: who was out of the picture after records of her
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: anti Semitic and anti police tweets surfaced. She also, uh,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I believe was on de Blasio's team. As they write,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: the Blaslums are not actually moderate, They're just not as
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: obsouously radioactive, considering too Mamdani tap. Just last week, Jamilla Edwards,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: who will head the mayor's off spent their governmental relations.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Spent a decade at municipal Worker.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Even in DC thirty seven, meaning the operations, working through
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: with his state and local officials, will run through the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: prism of what's best for city employees.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: On Friday, he named Julie.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Sue to the new position of Deputy Mayor for Economic justice.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Pro union progressive who allow billions in fraud.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: That's great when overseeing California's unemployment benefits and couldn't.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Win Senate approval.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: This woman couldn't win send an.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Approval to serve as Biden's labor sectrecretary cause even monern
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Democrats found her too radical.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: If this is the guy that uh, this woman that
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: sh he appointed as a deputy mayor, I'll keep going
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: for you.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: This one is really the one that I have to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: question here. Ramsey Cassem will be Donnie's top legal advisor.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Do you know what, according to the post's notable achievements
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: are defending an al Qaeda terrorist and they're radical and
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: mum Mahmoud Khalil l uh color he defended mamou Khalid.
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: So basically, he's approving far, far far and away.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: From the norm and.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We should hold him accountable to that and how his
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: picks behave. I think it's also pretty telling they call
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: it an inauguration of a new era. Well, I'm nervous
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: about that new era in New York City and I
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: want Old New York back. Even de Blasio maintained Old
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: New York somehow, some way. And that's why I say
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Mamdani should not be a scrooge and has a chance
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: to not be by maintaining every fabric of our city.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: That's what he's got to do and not usher in
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: a new era.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Of nonsense here in New York City. Well, you gotta
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: pray he doesn't usher.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: In that new era of nonsense.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: But he came to mind because PPS News sent me
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: this email on December twenty third, and I it was
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Christmas week. I didn't wanna go into this, but I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: feel like now is the time too, for the end
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: of twenty twenty five, because what was one of the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: main themes of twenty twenty five, especially with this campaid,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: the affordability crisis.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: While Matt Laufman of PBS DWS cited this, fifty seven
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: percent of.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling economy one's views
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: is one of his previous strengths.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: Thirty six percent say he's doing a good job. The
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: lowest this poll has found across both of his terms
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: and office.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: This poll in conjunction with PBS News NPR Emmerist giving
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: these findings, thirty eight percent of Americans think Trump is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: doing a good job as present. The lowest percentage is
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the end of his term, and that seventy percent of
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Americans right now as we end went say the cost
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: of living is in their area is unaffordable. And why
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: this is so interesting is cause Trump.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Wanted to grab that affordability.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Moniker wanted to change that too, wanted the GOP to
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: own the affordability, make it more affordability, more affordable what Americans,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: thirty three percent of them say the cost of living
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: is affordable, a significant drop from fifty five percent of
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: those who felt that way in June. So while Trump
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: was elected to bring back the economy, Americans are not
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: sold yet on this idea that this is an affordable country.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Again.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Now, these numbers are by a not let's just say,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: not so neutral outlet. It's not outlet that to get
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: money cut. But the price of goods remain remains the
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: biggest concerns for Americans, with for listing this issue of
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: the price of goods as the most pressing for them,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: more than double the number named any of the other options.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Americans, according to experts, say they're experiencing at the firsthand,
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: and Trump's.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: Continue into the denials.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: Could risk turn gentle wind into a hurricane, and that
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: could mean for a Blue Way in twenty twenty six.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: That's why I want to get the other side and say,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: how are some of these deductions that they're talking about
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: also helping out Americans as well? I mean, we could
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: be getting refunds of significant size and tax time. But
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: right now, when we're seizing oil tankers and we're trying
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: to combat these different wars still going on on the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: home from people, and of course the I've seen disaster
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: on the home from people are very very concerned. And
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: if he did not get a hold of this, especially
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the price of goods, he might lose the mid terms.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: If I were to go back in the Democrat hands,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I think that would truly be disaster by the country
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: more than this forty three day government shutdown. So yes,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: I think Trump I need I think the Republicans, especially
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: on a year where uh uh a s F far left, anti.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Semi one on affordable tea, Yeah, the GOP has to
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: own that issue and make it so that they look
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: like the ones that reduced.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: The prices around. They need to have one leg up
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: on affordability for the mid terms sake in twenty twenty six,
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you agree? Email me Alex and ALEXDNYC dot coms.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: By the way, on Christmas weekend.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I have to say, and it's snowy weekend at that
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: one or six point seventy light f.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: M is still giving you the Christmas music, so check
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: 'em out.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: But I wanna give you one last bit of new
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: speaking of trial and we all know how stupid he
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: was saying in the Georgia election, specifically, you can find
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: me ten thousand, eleven thousand votes, right, you can find
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: that well.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Earlier this week.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Fulton County, Georgia, according to the Federalists, Brianna Alignment admitted
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: that approximately three hundred and fifteen thousand early votes from
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: the twenty twenty elections were illegally certified but still in
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: created in the final results three hundred and fifteen thousand.
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Votes this election.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: Integery activist David Cross is asking the Statement or to
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: impost sanctions on Fulton County have them publicly nars of
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: violations and decertify Fulton County's twenty twenty vans voiding results.
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: This won't change the past, he says.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: But will place an indelible and permanent asterisk on the record.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: So while they went up to Trump for asking for
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: tend to eleven.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Thousand votes, I think you're stupid to do that. By
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: the way, surren A, Fulton County the hotbed of that
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: election issue, integrity issue, certify three hundred fifteen thousand, three.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Hundred and fifteen thousand votes illegally.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: That's another reason why election integrity matters during the midterms
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: have the honors so affordability and election integrity. Let's work
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: as a country, as a community to have one look
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: up hum vote for the sake of our two hundred
• 14:54
