  Speaker 1: I begin with with John F. Kitt or John Kennedy
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: from Louisiana, favorite congressman. Did you see his response today
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: to the CNN story regarding the United States invading Greenland?
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: He referred to that as weapons grade stupid. I love him.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I love this guy. That's weapons grade stupid right there.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: He's amazing. All right. So, Minnesota, by the way, I
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: know you love to google. I was trying to Google
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: this and I couldn't find anything. After the congressional baseball game,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the shooting back in twenty seventeen, when Steve Scalise was shot.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I don't recall Steve Scalise having a go fund Me.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Do you recall Steve Lee having a GoFundMe after being shot?
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe you can Google that or Yahoo that. Just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: don't bing it, but see if you can, because I
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: couldn't find anything. And the reason it came up is
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: because this woman that was shot by the ice officers
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: up there in Minnesota twenty four hours go fund me account,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: because that's what you do all the time. Now you've
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: got to have a go fund Me account for everything.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. What's she gonna do
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: with well, she's not gonna do anything with it. I
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: guess it's for her family to do stuff. I just
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: I can't up. We when you are on the opposing
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: side of what many would consider to be common sense,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: people throw millions of dollars to shoot down the CEO
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: of a healthcare company, millions of dollars in a go
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: fund Me account, you know, just do anything that is
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: this contradictory to civilized, polite society. Millions of dollars into
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a Go fund Me account, and now this woman still
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: up in the air. You know, there's investigating to be
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: done of what I've seen. What I've seen is pretty
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: convincing to me. But all over half a million dollars
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: donated through a GoFundMe account for her or for her family,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we just weren't man Our priorities are weird. They are
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: so messed up. When Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: to Washington, d C. The outrage began. People said that
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Trump can't do that. We don't need federal troops, federalized
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: troops into the local law enforcement. Local law enforcement doesn't
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: need federalized troops coming in there for local laws. That's
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: not what they're there for that's a and all these others.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: You know, Los Angeles said no, Chicago said no. They
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: didn't want it, because that's not what you should do.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: You shouldn't be calling in the National Guard for helping
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: out local police. For goodness sake. Tim Walls has now
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: mobilized the National Guard in Minnesota to help local law enforcement.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: So I guess it depends again on which side of
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the isle you're on. You see, illegal immigrants aren't nearly
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: as much of a threat as Ice being there to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: enforce the United States laws. So because Ice is there,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: we're going to call in the National Guard to back
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: up local law enforcement. In the same poem of Minneapolis area,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we are We're just man, We're getting so twisted. We
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: are getting so twisted, and I don't understand it. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: really don't. This isn't about politics, people. I'm not talking
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: about Republican and Democrat. I'm just I'm talking about normal,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: common sense. What I thought, and unfortunately many of us thought,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: was just a the right way if you will, of
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: thinking of doing things, of seeing things. That I grew
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: up that way, and it again, not about politics. I'm
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: pretty sure. Here's how disconnected I was to politics. In
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: my youth. I'm pretty sure my dad was a Democrat.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I know my grandmother who lived with
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: us on my mom's side, she was Republican. She was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: definitely Republican. But Dad, I'm pretty sure was Democrat. He
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: was a union man, you know, extrusionist, metal worker. I
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: know he did not like Ronald Reagan, which is probably
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: where I first started looking at discovering talking about thinking
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: about politics. We never fought over Reagan, but I know
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: that he was not nearly as fond of him as
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: president as I was. I don't like Reagan either. But
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: my first book was The State of Revolution by Lenin
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: and the Communist manifest Did you write that The State
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: and Revolution by Lenin? Yeah, you said it was your
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: first book. I thought maybe you helped him out. No,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I helped edit it. Oh okay, but he's been long past.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Well yeah, well you could have gone back in time.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: If anybody could do it, you could. True. That is true.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: It's not that I haven't been working on it. It's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: just difficult. What of math evolved. But I just I
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: guess I say that because I did not grow up
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in some you know, crazed right wing household where you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: you know, you're forced to conform and do all that
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: kind of stuff. I came to my own conclusions and
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: my own beliefs so over the years, and this is
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: where my mind took me, not my feelings, but my mind. Now, yeah,
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I did have feelings when I was a youngster eighteen
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: nineteen twenty years old. And I think most people probably
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: do lean more toward the liberal point of view when
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: they are young, when they are idealistic, as they get
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: older and begin to acquire knowledge and possessions, and so
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: for the idea of, you know, a government that gets
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: out of your way and allows you to achieve and
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: succeed and build, to thrive, to to go pursue the
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: American dream, whatever you choose that dream to be. That's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what our nature was. We are explorers,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: we are conquerors, we are that's the nature of being
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: an American, which goes more in line with what is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: the or should be the conservative slash Republican point of view. Eighteen.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: You want to save the world. You want to feed
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: every person who's hungry. You want to house every person
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: who's homeless. You want everybody to get the medical care
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: they need you want all people to live forever and
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: nobody ever to be sick or die, and and that
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: leans the trouble is it's not real. It's it can't happen.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: It can't happen at eighteen. Yeah, it's all black and white.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: It should happen, period. And those people who are you know,
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: today's young Democrats would taking it into the more socialist
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and I know I say that as an observation. That's
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: not an insult. That's not an insult, it's an observation
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: taking it more toward the socialist realm. They are much
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: like those teenagers that never grew up. They still think
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you ought to be able to do everything for everyone,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: which flies in the face of the you know, we
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: do things for ourselves mentality. On the other side of
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: the political fans, we used to be proud of that,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: universally proud of it. War two, we did it before
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and we can do it again. And victory gardens and
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: paper drives and savings bonds or war bonds as they
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: were called, Americans coming together sacrificing, you know, a meal
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a day or walking instead of driving so the gasoline
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: could be used for the troops. For we were unified,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: which we no longer are. And as I look at
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: everything that is going on right now, quite frankly, that's
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: probably the scariest part of this whole scenario. The United
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: States of America. And while it's been nice for the
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: past few years for people to walk around and say,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you know, everyone's entitled to their opinion, and I get,
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the trouble is the opinions have become empowered and the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: united part of the United States is not as united
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: as it used to be, should be and was meant
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to be. Well, you've got you know, Florida is recognized
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: as absolutely conservative state, Illinois absolutely a liberal state. When
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: you can say that that's not unity, that's not together,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: that's not a country, that's a bunch of factions that
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: just happen to be connected by land, and it worries me.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: I'm not, you know, civil war crazy at this point,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: but I am. I am observing with a very rigid
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: and cautious eye. New York City, New York, New York.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: The city's so nice. We named it twice known perhaps
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: as the greatest city in this country. You can make
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: it there, you can make it anywhere. They have elected
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: a socialist a proud Socialist to be mayor of New
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: York City. Do you think the greatness that built New
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: York City and was built by New York City will
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: stay in New York City under socialist rule? And it
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: is rule. I don't know that the Council the boroughs
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: have come together to make any decisions yet. Everything so
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: far has been the swipe of a pen from Mayor Mondannie.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yesterday we talked a little bit about this new KOPA
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: COPA law, and I believe that has to be actually
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: adopted by the boroughs. However, it is coming from Mondannie's office.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: This is what he wants, and he's on a roll,
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: so he's going to get whatever he wants. But it
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: would require listen, now require private property owners a multiple
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: unit buildings. So if you've got like a you know,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: a little apartment building or something, as the owner of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: that building, you would have to allow what they refer
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to as designated nonprofits meaning hand picked organizations. And who's
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: going to do the handpicking? Who do you think is
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: going to do the handpicking? Exactly? You have to allow
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: them to buy your property first before you can put
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: it on the open market and let the market do
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: what the market does, which, in a strange way a
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: year from now may actually benefit the people selling the property.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: An open market as we have known it to be
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: at this point would mean, you know, all the sharks
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: would start circling and bidding, and oh, we can make
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: a ton of money with this party. We can rent
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: these places out, make a bunch of money. By now,
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: if you go a year with nonprofits getting first DIBs
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: on these places and it doesn't go for market value,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: then future sales are going to be lower because you
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: will have established a trend in real estate pricing where okay, well,
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a year ago, very similar building on the next block
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: sold for this to the nonprofit under that new COPO rule.
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: So you we're only going to get this out of
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: your place, So you'll end up being better off selling
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: it to a designated nonprofit then selling it to another
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: investor that wants to buy a rental property. What does
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: this do decreases the value of real estate, which is
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: almost sacrilege in New York City. You are forcing the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: value down because you are trolling who can buy it.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: If that sounds like anything even remotely resembling America, I'd
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: love to hear you how just dissect that for me, Please,
