Fraud Scandal Torpedoes Walz plus NYC Mayor’s Radical Communist Housing Agenda · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: Minnesota Governor Tim Waltz has announced he is ending his
0:05
Speaker 1: reelection bid amid the childcare frauds scandal. The governor announcing
0:10
Speaker 1: he'll not seek reelection and the accusations and the investigation
0:14
Speaker 1: tied to that decision clearly a massive political fallout that
0:19
Speaker 1: even he thought he couldn't overcome. Governor Waltz announcing it
0:24
Speaker 1: and saying that this was all because of the Republican
0:28
Speaker 1: Right ring and a conspiracy theory. I'm not joking. But
0:33
Speaker 1: before we get to that, here is Holle. It was
0:35
Speaker 1: announced on Fox Business Channel.
0:38
Speaker 2: The Minnesota's governor, Tim wals He has dropped out.
0:41
Speaker 3: He's dropped his bid for reelection. He will not seek
0:44
Speaker 3: a third term in office.
0:46
Speaker 2: What did he say?
0:47
Speaker 4: The multi billion dollar alleged Somali daycare and medicaid fraud
0:51
Speaker 4: scandal was consuming while he's writing this. Every minute I
0:55
Speaker 4: spend defending my own political interests would be a minute
0:58
Speaker 4: I can't spend defending the peace of Minnesota against the
1:01
Speaker 4: criminals who prey on our generosity and the cynics who
1:05
Speaker 4: pray on our differences. So he has dropped his bid
1:08
Speaker 4: for a third term, but the fraud could still imperil
1:12
Speaker 4: Senate Democrats. Senator Tina Smith will not seek reelection in Minnesota,
1:16
Speaker 4: so that race is open, and Senator Amy Klobachar is
1:20
Speaker 4: viewed as a top contender for governor to replace Walls.
1:25
Speaker 1: Now, what's also interesting about this is Governor Waltz announcing
1:28
Speaker 1: this saying, quote he wants to focus on governance and
1:32
Speaker 1: not campaigning.
1:33
Speaker 3: He said, it's essential.
1:35
Speaker 1: In other words, I'm the good guy amid the ongoing
1:37
Speaker 1: controversies in the state. Walt emphasized that leading Minnesota through
1:42
Speaker 1: the quote unquote crisis that he created of fraud and
1:45
Speaker 1: ensuring his administration's response deserves full attention from the governor,
1:51
Speaker 1: not divided focus between governing and campaigning. He also made
1:55
Speaker 1: it clear that this is really, somehow all the fault
1:58
Speaker 1: of Republican and that this is what it really came
2:03
Speaker 1: down to.
2:04
Speaker 5: We've got conspiracy theorists, right wing YouTubers breaking into our daycares,
2:09
Speaker 5: demanding access to our children. We've got the President of
2:13
Speaker 5: the United States demonizing our Somali neighbors and wrongfully confiscating
2:19
Speaker 5: funds that Minnesotans rely on.
2:21
Speaker 6: It's disgusting and it's dangerous.
2:24
Speaker 1: What's so interesting about what Governor Waltz said there is
2:27
Speaker 1: what the real headline should have been. Governor Waltz, almost
2:31
Speaker 1: the Vice President United States of America now dropping out
2:34
Speaker 1: of the governor's race in Minnesota in disgrace. And why
2:38
Speaker 1: not because of people trying to break into daycares demanding
2:43
Speaker 1: access to our children.
2:45
Speaker 3: No all because a brave twenty three year.
2:48
Speaker 1: Old kid with an iPhone and at thirst for justice
2:52
Speaker 1: exposed billions and billions of the governor's fraud, the work
2:57
Speaker 1: of Nick Shirley. Hopefully as a thousand more Nick Shirley's
3:02
Speaker 1: just like him who realize that the government is broken,
3:06
Speaker 1: as well as the media apparatus which is supposed to
3:09
Speaker 1: hold it accountable. But Governor Waltz wasn't done there. He
3:13
Speaker 1: also wanted to play the victim card one more time
3:16
Speaker 1: by saying this.
3:18
Speaker 6: I don't want to mince words here. Donald Trump and
3:20
Speaker 6: his allies in Washington and in Saint Paul and online
3:24
Speaker 6: want to make our state a colder, meaner place. They
3:27
Speaker 6: want to poison our people against each other by attacking
3:31
Speaker 6: our neighbors, and ultimately they want to take away much
3:34
Speaker 6: of what makes Minnesota the best place in the country
3:37
Speaker 6: to raise a family. They've already begun trying to withhold
3:41
Speaker 6: funds that were meant to help families afford childcare, and
3:44
Speaker 6: they have no intention of stopping there. Make no mistake,
3:48
Speaker 6: we should be concerned about fraud in our state government.
3:52
Speaker 6: We cannot effectively deliver programs and services if we can't
3:56
Speaker 6: earn the public's trust.
3:58
Speaker 3: Public trust.
4:00
Speaker 1: M Waltz leaving office because he has no trust in
4:04
Speaker 1: him from the public and knows he can't get reelected,
4:08
Speaker 1: yet at the same time saying his entire administration is
4:11
Speaker 1: about exactly that. He can rewrite history all he wants,
4:15
Speaker 1: but Tim Waltz will go down in disgrace as a
4:18
Speaker 1: former vice presidential candidate who just months later has to
4:22
Speaker 1: suspend his re election campaign for governor because of the
4:26
Speaker 1: billions and billions in fraud that were uncovered under his watch.
4:31
Speaker 1: Every so often something happens that reminds us just how
4:34
Speaker 1: fragile our freedoms are. We can't afford to take our
4:37
Speaker 1: rights for granted. We must draw a line in the sand,
4:41
Speaker 1: and our friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just
4:44
Speaker 1: that for more than twelve years. The truth is there
4:48

Speaker 1: for Americans who believe freedom is worth fighting for, and
4:54
Speaker 1: that company is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading

6:12
Speaker 1: or nine seven to two Patriot and make the switch
6:15
Speaker 1: and make a difference with every call you make. Donald
6:19
Speaker 1: Trump coming out making it very clear on Venezuela and
6:22
Speaker 1: their oil reserves. We're going to run everything. We're gonna
6:27
Speaker 1: run it. When asked what would happen to Venezuela's oil reserves,
6:30
Speaker 1: which are now worth trillions of dollars, Trump's remarks came
6:35
Speaker 1: aboard Air Force One during a gaggle with reporters on
6:39
Speaker 1: a flight back to DC from Palm Beach, and according
6:42
Speaker 1: to the newest report, Venezuela has as of Saturday's oil prices,
6:47
Speaker 1: approximately seventeen point three trillion in oil reserves, which exceeds
6:53
Speaker 1: the collective global gross domestic product excluding the United States
6:58
Speaker 1: and China. Just to put it in perspective, a reporter
7:02
Speaker 1: started a question by stating Venezuela has seventeen billion worth
7:07
Speaker 1: of oil reserves. Donald Trump responded with more, you mean trillion?
7:12
Speaker 1: Did you say billion or trillion? I said billion, the
7:15
Speaker 1: reporter replied, to which Trump emphasized it's much more than
7:19
Speaker 1: that and then the President had this to say, Venezuela.
7:23
Speaker 7: Right now is a dead country. We have to bring
7:25
Speaker 7: it back, and we're gonna have to have big investments
7:27
Speaker 7: by the oil companies to bring back the infrastructure. The
7:31
Speaker 7: oil companies are ready to go. They're gonna go in.
7:33
Speaker 7: They're gonna rebuild the infrastructure. You know, we built it
7:36
Speaker 7: to start off with many years ago. They took it away.
7:41
Speaker 7: You can't do that, and you can't do that with me.
7:43
Speaker 7: They did it with other president. An election to take
7:45
Speaker 7: place in Venezuela.
7:48
Speaker 8: How soon is an election take place?
7:50
Speaker 7: Well, I think we're looking more at getting it mixed,
7:53
Speaker 7: getting it ready first, because it's a mess. The country
7:56
Speaker 7: is a mess. It's been horribly run. The oil just
8:00
Speaker 7: flowing at a very low level, much lower than even
8:04
Speaker 7: if it was badly run. It should have more income,
8:08
Speaker 7: more oil than what they do. So we're gonna have
8:09
Speaker 7: the big old companies going and they're gonna fix the infrastructure,
8:13
Speaker 7: and they're going to invest money. We're not going to
8:15
Speaker 7: invest anything. We're gonna just take care of the country.
8:18
Speaker 7: We're gonna cherish the country. We're gonna take care of
8:21
Speaker 7: more importantly of the people, including Venezuelans and are living
8:24
Speaker 7: in our country that were forced to leave their country. Yeah,
8:28
Speaker 7: they're gonna be taking very good care of yesmith, Yes,
8:34
Speaker 7: I have.
8:35
Speaker 1: Which one fall off the business.
8:39
Speaker 7: They want to go in so badly for them before
8:43
Speaker 7: the operation took place. Yes, maybe take them off before
8:47
Speaker 7: and after, and they want to go in and they're
8:50
Speaker 7: gonna do a great job for the people of Venezuela.
8:52
Speaker 7: And they're gonna represent us well. But you know, the
8:56
Speaker 7: infrastructure is rusty, rut, most of it unusable, is old,
9:00
Speaker 7: it's broken. You see pipe flag all over the ground.
9:04
Speaker 7: Has it been nothing's been invested for years, Chevron sentis.
9:08
Speaker 7: You know, they've done a good job. But even they
9:10
Speaker 7: they haven't been in a position to invest money because
9:13
Speaker 7: they're at a month to month basis. What HAPs they're
9:16
Speaker 7: only there because I wanted them to.
9:18
Speaker 1: Be Donald Trump again making it clear, we're gonna run everything.
9:21
Speaker 1: We're gonna run it, We're gonna fix it. We'll have
9:23
Speaker 1: elections at the right time. And the main thing is
9:25
Speaker 1: you have to fix it. It's a broken country. There's
9:28
Speaker 1: no money, there's inflation like we would have had if
9:32
Speaker 1: we didn't win this election, and we would have been
9:35
Speaker 1: Venezuela on steroids, the president said. Trump noted Saturday that
9:39
Speaker 1: American oil companies will go into Venezuela to repair the
9:43
Speaker 1: badly broken oil infrastructure. The world agrees it is absolutely broken,
9:49
Speaker 1: and he said that he'd spoken with the old companies
9:51
Speaker 1: before and after the operation about resolve to remove the
9:55
Speaker 1: former dictator Maduro from power. This, of course try to
9:59
Speaker 1: turn into a fake controversy by the media claiming that
10:02
Speaker 1: he had tipped off by asking the question the oil companies.
10:06
Speaker 1: Another pathetic story, yet again from the left. What we
10:11
Speaker 1: also know is this Chevron's in as you know, the
10:15
Speaker 1: President said, they've done a good job, but they haven't
10:18
Speaker 1: been in a position to invest money because they're on
10:21
Speaker 1: a month to month basis. They're only there because I
10:24
Speaker 1: wanted them to be there. Now things are changing, and
10:29
Speaker 1: what's very clear is the President unitasicks of America is
10:32
Speaker 1: not holding back saying this is how the country will
10:35
Speaker 1: be saved, and as he described it, it will not
10:39
Speaker 1: cost Americans any money, something very different from what we
10:44
Speaker 1: witness in Afghanistan, in Iraq. The President making it clear
10:49
Speaker 1: we'll fix it and then they're going to pay for
10:51
Speaker 1: all of it. That is something that the President was
10:54
Speaker 1: very clear on. He was also asked by NBC's Kristen
10:58
Speaker 1: Welker in an interview about are we at war with Venezuela.
11:03
Speaker 1: I want you to hear how NBC News is reporting
11:06
Speaker 1: on that as well.
11:08
Speaker 9: The President reacting to today's arraignment during my phone call
11:11
Speaker 9: with him, telling me, quote, it is an extraordinary moment
11:15
Speaker 9: in history. That's true, and it's great for the Hemisphere.
11:18
Speaker 9: He went on to say, the prices of oil are
11:21
Speaker 9: going to, you know, be reduced. The President also telling
11:25
Speaker 9: me we are not at war with Venezuela and that
11:28
Speaker 9: he would not need congressional approval to send in a
11:32
Speaker 9: second strike. One of the biggest questions right now is
11:35
Speaker 9: who is really in charge in Venezuela. After President Trump
11:38
Speaker 9: said explicitly on Saturday that the US would run the country.
11:42
Speaker 9: I asked the President about that today. If Secretary's Rubio
11:46
Speaker 9: and Headseth Stephen Miller would be the top three people
11:49
Speaker 9: in charge of Venezuela. The President said, yeah, among the
11:53
Speaker 9: top people, including JD.
11:55
Speaker 8: Vance.
11:56
Speaker 9: I then asked him who will be the top person
11:59
Speaker 9: if there is one. The President's answer to that question
12:02
Speaker 9: was me.
12:04
Speaker 1: The President of the United States of America yet again
12:06
Speaker 1: giving simple answers to the media that of course makes
12:10
Speaker 1: the liberals lose their mind, and doing it in a
12:13
Speaker 1: way that shows he is in charge and actually has
12:16
Speaker 1: a plan, which brings us to the other part of
12:20
Speaker 1: this story. Nicholas Maduro's first court appearance it has officially happened.
12:25
Speaker 1: The ousted Venezuelan president was a rain Monday and a
12:28
Speaker 1: federal courtroom in Manhattan on US NARCO terrorism and drug
12:33
Speaker 1: trafficking charges. He pled not guilty to all of the charges,
12:37
Speaker 1: denying any wrongdoing. Madua repeatedly insisted through an interpreter that
12:43
Speaker 1: he is innocent and described himself as a quote prisoner
12:47
Speaker 1: of war and said he remains a legitimate president of Venezuela.
12:51
Speaker 1: He also characterizes captured by US forces as an abduction.
12:57
Speaker 1: Maduro's wife also appeared not guilty and has visible injuries
13:03
Speaker 1: that a lawyer says may include rib fractures from the
13:07
Speaker 1: arrest operation. Both are being held at the Metropolitan Detention
13:12
Speaker 1: Center in Brooklyn and waived bail for now. The judge
13:16
Speaker 1: schedule the next hearing from March seventeenth, twenty twenty six.
13:21
Speaker 1: There are protests as well as radicals on the left
13:24
Speaker 1: are outside the courthouse saying that this was well a
13:28
Speaker 1: terrible day for America. Official US government line very different
13:33
Speaker 1: coming from the White House. The government is defending the
13:36
Speaker 1: military operation and Madua's prosecution as legitimate action against narco
13:41
Speaker 1: trafficking and criminal syndicates, even as international critics are of
13:47
Speaker 1: course siding with Maduro saying it was illegal. A White
13:52
Speaker 1: House spokesman pushed back strongly today on domestic criticism from
13:56
Speaker 1: the left many liberal commentators, saying of the Venezuelid, many
14:01
Speaker 1: countries consider Maduro illegitimate, and we should go back and
14:06
Speaker 1: report on the words of so many countries now that
14:09
Speaker 1: are just criticizing Trump because he's in charge.
14:12
Speaker 3: The FBI director.
14:13
Speaker 1: Cash Bettel went on TV to talk about the real
14:16
Speaker 1: threat that Maduro posed the United States of America, and
14:19
Speaker 1: here's part of what he had to say about the
14:21
Speaker 1: fetanyl that had been seized by the Trump administration.
14:24
Speaker 2: This director correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you
14:26
Speaker 2: meet with Chinese officials about stopping the precursors to fentanyl?
14:30
Speaker 2: And did what has happened since that meeting? The President
14:33
Speaker 2: push with tariffs to stop it. What could you tell
14:37
Speaker 2: us happened with the flow into Mexico where they refine
14:41
Speaker 2: it and send it to us.
14:43
Speaker 3: That's just it.
14:44
Speaker 10: There was nobody, no other administration who was willing to
14:46
Speaker 10: engage with our counterparts on things like fentanyl, which were
14:50
Speaker 10: killing almost one hundred thousand Americans per year. And President
14:53
Speaker 10: Trump laid the groundwork for us to go over there
14:56
Speaker 10: and engage directly and say, hey, you got to shut
14:58
Speaker 10: off the flow of the chemt precursors, the ingredients that
15:02
Speaker 10: they utilized to make fentanyl. And we went over there
15:05
Speaker 10: and we got that agreement while we were there, thanks
15:07
Speaker 10: to President Trump's leadership, and we were able to literally
15:10
Speaker 10: shut off the flow of all thirteen precursors and eight
15:14
Speaker 10: chemical adjuster agents. And what that does is it suffocates
15:18
Speaker 10: the drug trafficking organization's ability in Mexico and South American
15:21
Speaker 10: and Central America and elsewhere to create and manufacture the fentanyl.
15:26
Speaker 10: And just look at what we did this past year
15:28
Speaker 10: under President Trump's leadership, we seized enough fentanyl to kill
15:32
Speaker 10: one hundred and seventy five million American citizens. That is
15:35
Speaker 10: an increase in fentanyl caesars by over thirty percent. That
15:40
Speaker 10: is what a coalition a team led effort by a
15:43
Speaker 10: decisive White House, and President Trump looks like to counter narcotics.
15:46
Speaker 10: Not just these great successful operations like what we saw
15:50
Speaker 10: this past week in Venezuela, but a continuing onslaught of
15:54
Speaker 10: law enforcement activity to safeguard the American public, and we're
15:57
Speaker 10: not going to stop.
15:58
Speaker 3: The FPI director wasn't with that.
16:00
Speaker 1: He also praised Donald Trump's decisive leadership for having a
16:05
Speaker 1: drastic reduction in narcotics available on our streets, which is
16:09
Speaker 1: saving American lives.
16:11
Speaker 11: I want you to put on your former prosecutor hat
16:14
Speaker 11: because you know these charges and I'm not asking you
16:15
Speaker 11: to prosecute it for our audience, but explain to us
16:19
Speaker 11: the charges and how long are we talking about before
16:22
Speaker 11: Maduro sees the other side of justice.
16:26
Speaker 3: Just want to be very careful here.
16:28
Speaker 10: Department of Justice and our DEA partners are going to
16:30
Speaker 10: be running point on these prosecution charges for narco terrorism.
16:35
Speaker 10: But generally speaking, it's what I alluded to earlier. It
16:38
Speaker 10: is a large and continuous volume of illicit narcotics, to
16:44
Speaker 10: include cocaine and fentanyl and meth and everything else that
16:47
Speaker 10: we see harm our children and that poured into our communities.
16:51
Speaker 10: And thanks to President Trump's decisive leadership, we've seen a
16:53
Speaker 10: drastic reduction and not just death, but quantity of narcotics
16:57
Speaker 10: available on our streets. But Venezuela acted not only as
17:00
Speaker 10: a large and massive transhipment point by air and by sea,
17:04
Speaker 10: but also allowed drug traffickers to operate with reckless abandon
17:09
Speaker 10: inside their borders, and their direct target of deployment was
17:12
Speaker 10: the United States of America in large part, and that's
17:15
Speaker 10: what these charges, in my opinion, I believe, will address,
17:18
Speaker 10: and thankfully that these individuals are now behind bars to
17:21
Speaker 10: face the justice system. And for me, quite frankly, it
17:25
Speaker 10: doesn't matter how long or how short the process is,
17:28
Speaker 10: as long as we get it right, and we're off
17:30
Speaker 10: to a great start thanks to the decisive leadership this
17:32
Speaker 10: week and of President Trump and his national security team.
17:34
Speaker 4: Yeah, as long as he's in custody, I don't think
17:37
Speaker 4: people just want to see Venezuela get back to normal.
17:39
Speaker 1: As you heard there from the FBI director, it's about
17:42
Speaker 1: national security, it's about saving American lives. It's also about
17:45
Speaker 1: making sure that there is a better nation in Venezuela
17:49
Speaker 1: for the people that had been oppressed by Maduro and
17:51
Speaker 1: that is clearly part of Donald Trump's doctrine.
17:55
Speaker 3: Operation Overlord the d DA Beaches.

Speaker 1: text message from my Heart Media. In New York City,
18:56
Speaker 1: there are two major stories that are happening, and it's
19:00
Speaker 1: happening within days. Of Mandani coming into power. You know,
19:04
Speaker 1: the guy that was going to give you everything for free,
19:06
Speaker 1: and you know, get rid of all the police officers,
19:09
Speaker 1: and well it's not working out already. New York City
19:13
Speaker 1: subway passengers were furious as they decided to swipe their card.
19:20
Speaker 1: They're calling it crazy. The price has skyrocketed to three
19:24
Speaker 1: dollars per ride, and the locals said they thought it
19:27
Speaker 1: was going to be free. The MTA's latest rate hike
19:31
Speaker 1: went into effect on Sunday and exasperated passengers to fork
19:36
Speaker 1: over just ten more cents per ride. They were shaking
19:40
Speaker 1: their heads at the exer expense, especially when they voted
19:42
Speaker 1: for Mandani, who said it was going to be free.
19:45
Speaker 1: Now it's the highest it's ever been. I just know
19:49
Speaker 1: it's going to add up. One twenty three year old said,
19:51
Speaker 1: who regularly commutes into Manhattan from his New Jersey home.
19:55
Speaker 1: Another one thirty three, who regularly commutes from Chinatown, of
19:59
Speaker 1: manhats and said it's ft. Yes, these are the Mandani voters.
20:04
Speaker 1: I don't get a paid enough for this. The hike
20:07
Speaker 1: is crazy. This all over, yes, just ten cents. A
20:11
Speaker 1: forty one year old thought the MTA could focus on
20:14
Speaker 1: making better use of its funds it is already generating,
20:17
Speaker 1: instead of asking New Yorkers a fork over even a
20:19
Speaker 1: dime more, saying quote, the MTA constantly misappropriates funds instead
20:25
Speaker 1: of installing new turnstiles, they could actually improve the service,
20:29
Speaker 1: referring to the transit system seemingly endless attempts to deter
20:33
Speaker 1: fair jumpers, who costs they say the MTA more than
20:37
Speaker 1: four hundred million in lost fairs last year alone. Man
20:41
Speaker 1: I wonder if police officers actually could help with that problem.
20:45
Speaker 1: The MTA constantly misappropriates funds instead of installing all these
20:49
Speaker 1: new turnstyles. Can't they just do the job the right way?
20:52
Speaker 1: Another said, And yes, there's also plans for what's gonna
20:57
Speaker 1: happen with the money, the most recent increase coming as
21:00
Speaker 1: the future of MTA remains unclear because the new mayor
21:04
Speaker 1: Mandanni vowed to follow through in his campaign promise of
21:08
Speaker 1: making the city's bus system completely free. His plan, by
21:12
Speaker 1: the way, would cost the system about seven hundred million,
21:16
Speaker 1: which Mundannie said he would pay by just, you know,
21:19
Speaker 1: raising taxes on all the corporations and also the high
21:22
Speaker 1: earning individuals. Some hopeful New York lawmakers also think that
21:27
Speaker 1: there is real relief that's needed from the commuter prices.
21:31
Speaker 1: Let's be clear, we need to freeze the fairs, not
21:34
Speaker 1: raise them. Set a New York State Controller candidate, the
21:37
Speaker 1: cost of everything's going up, and that working people don't
21:41
Speaker 1: need right now is to pay more just to quote
21:43
Speaker 1: get around. So here we are two ninety Mundannie gets elected. Bam,
21:49
Speaker 1: it's now three dollars. Welcome to communism in New York City,
21:53
Speaker 1: which also brings us to the other big ripoff Mundanni
21:58
Speaker 1: show voting is the headline now as he's saying we've
22:02
Speaker 1: got a crack down on rental ripoffs. Mendannie is opted
22:05
Speaker 1: to kick off his mayoral campaign with a grandiose housing initiative. Well,
22:10
Speaker 1: there's no sign of any of it actually becoming a reality.
22:15
Speaker 1: We do know, however, that Mondannie's newly appointed Tenant Advocate
22:20
Speaker 1: director thinks home ownership and private property is quote white supremacy.
22:27
Speaker 1: In her own posts, she put out private property, including
22:31
Speaker 1: and kind of especially homeownership is a weapon of white
22:37
Speaker 1: supremacy masquerading as a wealth building public policy. When she
22:43
Speaker 1: says families will have a different relationship with their property,
22:47
Speaker 1: she means the government will come in dear your home
22:51
Speaker 1: for the collective good of everyone. This is literally Mandannie's
22:55
Speaker 1: tenant director in her own words, I.
22:58
Speaker 8: Think the reality is is that for centuries we've really
23:02
Speaker 8: treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good.
23:08
Speaker 8: And we are going to and transitioning to treating it
23:11
Speaker 8: as a collective good and towards a model of shared
23:15
Speaker 8: equity will require that we think about it differently, and
23:19
Speaker 8: it will mean that families, especially white families, but some
23:24
Speaker 8: POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to
23:27
Speaker 8: have a different relationship to property than the one that
23:32
Speaker 8: we currently have.
23:33
Speaker 1: So get ready, if you're white, they want to come
23:36
Speaker 1: after your home, they want to take it away from you.
23:40
Speaker 1: This is man Donnie's tenant director, and she said the
23:43
Speaker 1: quiet part out loud quote. Will transition from treating property
23:48
Speaker 1: as an individual good to a collective good. Whites especially
23:52
Speaker 1: will be impacted. I want you to let that sink in.
23:57
Speaker 1: This isn't housing policy, it's theology colliding with private property rights. Ironically,
24:05
Speaker 1: Florida and Texas could not have designed a better case
24:08
Speaker 1: study in a lab to spur population growth for their states,
24:13
Speaker 1: especially if they move forward. In New York City, with this.
24:16
Speaker 1: But what you're hearing from New York's elites now is clear.
24:20
Speaker 1: If your white get out. If you're rich, get out.
24:24
Speaker 1: If you have a business, we want more of your money.
24:27
Speaker 1: It's almost like a good old American shakedown. It's really
24:31
Speaker 1: no different than what the mob did, except the mob
24:34
Speaker 1: is now Mundanni's socialist government. You think you have property rights,
24:39
Speaker 1: not in New York City. When they arrive, they want
24:42
Speaker 1: your money, your businesses, and your taxes to go up.
24:47
Speaker 1: But don't worry, they'll at least let you ride the
24:50
Speaker 1: bus for free after you pay your three dollars. So
24:54
Speaker 1: here we are, just days into Mundanni's mayor's office and
24:59
Speaker 1: all his people that he picked, and what are they saying.
25:02
Speaker 3: We're going to seize your property.
25:04
Speaker 1: We're going to bring state controlled housing the forefront of
25:06
Speaker 1: city policy, and we call home ownership white supremacy. Now,
25:11
Speaker 1: if you think Mundanni's bluffing with his new power, you're wrong.
25:15
Speaker 1: Even as he was sworn in his mayor he made
25:18
Speaker 1: it very clear that he is going to use the
25:20
Speaker 1: government to come after the private property owners of New York. Now,
25:25
Speaker 1: his definition of what can make you a slum ward
25:28
Speaker 1: could actually be the complete opposite of what you and
25:31
Speaker 1: I think that it is a rundown place, it's bug infested,
25:35
Speaker 1: or has mold and mildew everywhere, or water that is leaking, right,
25:39
Speaker 1: that's what you describe in your head usually when you're
25:42
Speaker 1: thinking about what a slum ward would do, not fixed
25:45
Speaker 1: basic things like that or heat or ac. That is
25:49
Speaker 1: not what Mandanni thinks the slumward. He thinks it's someone
25:52
Speaker 1: that overcharges you in his mind, for your property. He
25:57
Speaker 1: wants the government to own the and he wants the
26:01
Speaker 1: government to set the price.
26:03
Speaker 3: Now, if he believes.
26:05
Speaker 1: That you're being overcharged for what you're getting, he now
26:08
Speaker 1: says the government will step in and go after them.
26:13
Speaker 12: We will not compromise on housing quality. If your landlord
26:18
Speaker 12: does not responsibly steward your home, city government will step in.
26:27
Speaker 12: We will make sure that three one one violations are resolved,
26:31
Speaker 12: and we will hold slum lords to account for hazardous
26:34
Speaker 12: and dangerous threats to your well being. We will not
26:39
Speaker 12: compromise on housing quality.
26:41
Speaker 1: This is in essence, imminent domain on steroids. It's how
26:45
Speaker 1: they take back your property. In fact, you can go
26:48
Speaker 1: backwards to New York City's Communist mayor Mandani when he
26:52
Speaker 1: said this about how he really wants the world to.
26:55
Speaker 13: Work further toward the Vienna model. We'll have to go
26:58
Speaker 13: beyond the market. We can establish community land trusts to
27:01
Speaker 13: gradually buy up housing on the private market and convert
27:04
Speaker 13: it to community ownership. We can give tenants to right
27:07
Speaker 13: a first refusal to buy out their landlords when buildings
27:09
Speaker 13: go up for safe, and we can fully commit to
27:11
Speaker 13: a new era of social housing, ending subsidies for luxury
27:15
Speaker 13: housing development and using our wealth to build beautiful, high
27:18
Speaker 13: quality social housing projects that offer good homes and strong
27:22
Speaker 13: communities to everyone. We won't decommodify housing overnight, but we
27:26
Speaker 13: know what we have to do, and we have history
27:28
Speaker 13: to guide us.
27:29
Speaker 1: And the history that will guide us is communism, because
27:32
Speaker 1: apparently that's worked so well all over the world. Just
27:35
Speaker 1: buy me one spot. I cannot wait to see where
27:39
Speaker 1: Man Donnie says this plan is actually working.
27:42
Speaker 3: But one thing is for sure.
27:44
Speaker 1: If you're white and you might want to move out
27:45
Speaker 1: of New York City before they take your property from you,
27:49
