1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,919
Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining and informative on

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,919
the Red Apple podcast Network.

3
00:00:07,759 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: A number of people who are survivors of nine to

4
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:12,919
eleven are calling on you not to go to nine

5
00:00:12,919 --> 00:00:16,320
to eleven memorial services. I wonder how you feel about

6
00:00:16,359 --> 00:00:18,280
the fact that they're trying to keep you away.

7
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,719
Speaker 3: I will proudly honor the families, the survivors, the first

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,960
responders forever impacted by that horrific terror attack by standing

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,679
alongside them at this year's nine to eleven commemoration, reaffirming

10
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:35,719
that we will never forget the solemn day felt by

11
00:00:35,759 --> 00:00:37,960
all of us who call this city home, and frankly

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:39,399
by all of us who call this country home.

13
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 4: M HM, welcome our friends of the Monday edition of

14
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,320
bosner Le's Rush, Our fastest hour in American media, that,

15
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,280
of course, the New York City Mayor and Minister of

16
00:00:55,439 --> 00:01:01,679
New York City's Foreign Policy and also New York City's

17
00:01:01,719 --> 00:01:10,920
Grocery Commissioner, the Honorable uh Zorondami. We have more from

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,280
mister Mondami on his acting in his role as Grocery

19
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:23,439
Commissioner of New York City as well. However, there is

20
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,359
a little bit more on the his foreign policy role

21
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:34,560
Minister of New York's Foreign policy cut to Carlos, we

22
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,319
can play this now because there's so much more to do.

23
00:01:37,439 --> 00:01:44,560
I want to quickly deal with Mondami's latest.

24
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 5: To understand that you're making it clear that you're criticizing

25
00:01:45,719 --> 00:01:49,079
a particular politician, not the ethnic group. But there have

26
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:54,200
been growing concerns amongst elected officials, some of your ing reporters,

27
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,680
General Letitia James, about the fact that comments and rhetoric

28
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,319
may be rise in temperature. Do you take those concerns

29
00:02:02,359 --> 00:02:05,239
to heart and what is your plan to bring down

30
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,000
those temperatures?

31
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:11,159
Speaker 3: So, I think to your point, when I make criticisms

32
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,599
of Prime Minister net Yahoo, they are criticisms of Prime

33
00:02:13,599 --> 00:02:16,520
Minister Net and Yahoo, and what I shared were not

34
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,360
even frankly personal assessments. They were objective facts. And my

35
00:02:20,479 --> 00:02:24,120
responsibility as a Warlorker and as a mayor of this

36
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,759
city is a responsibility to take care of each and

37
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,000
every person who calls the city their home, and that

38
00:02:29,159 --> 00:02:31,879
is not based upon whether or not they agree with me,

39
00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:34,280
how they feel about me. My job is to make

40
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,120
sure that they are safe, that they are thriving, and

41
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:38,439
they continue to call this city home, and that's always

42
00:02:38,479 --> 00:02:40,439
going to be my north star on how we can

43
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,240
do that, because this is an incredible city, and it's

44
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,520
a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging

45
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,639
to it is not conditional on how they feel about

46
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:47,960
the mayor.

47
00:02:48,159 --> 00:02:50,439
Speaker 5: And is there a reason that you told The New

48
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,080
York Times that you were still an active conversation with

49
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,280
the legal department in regards to possibly following up on

50
00:02:56,319 --> 00:02:59,879
that arrest warrant when you were previously told that that

51
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,319
necessarily couldn't happen.

52
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 4: Said that all I have to say on that topic.

53
00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:08,039
Thanks this all the time we have. The reporter asked

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,319
him when he comment on rising the temperature, it's raising

55
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:17,000
the temperature. Honey, lord, what did you hear her saying that?

56
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:21,199
Could you come on rising the temperature? Raising the temperature?

57
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:29,120
Miss young reporter? At where do these kids graduate school? Anyway? Uh?

58
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,840
So there's Mondai. Never mind what he actually says at

59
00:03:34,879 --> 00:03:38,719
other times. That's what he's saying today. He also spoke

60
00:03:38,759 --> 00:03:42,479
about the citywide grocery stores. We'll get to that in

61
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:46,360
a moment. Uh The Republicans, my Daily Caller released the

62
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,599
story I became aware of shortly before this program began.

63
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:55,439
This afternoon thanks to Princess Toiana, uh gives Republicans talking. Well,

64
00:03:55,479 --> 00:03:58,000
you know, they're getting ready to go on vacation again

65
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,879
again again again. It's like they come back and they work.

66
00:04:03,919 --> 00:04:08,639
First of all, these guys work. Oh please, James, don't

67
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,800
go there, because it's a little bit unfair. They work

68
00:04:14,879 --> 00:04:18,079
in Washington only a few days a week. Now. Some

69
00:04:18,639 --> 00:04:24,720
of them do work in their home districts, and so

70
00:04:24,879 --> 00:04:27,399
the illusion that they only do work once in a

71
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:32,000
while is an incorrect But we can't say that about

72
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,319
all of them because we don't know. But they like

73
00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:39,240
to take vacations. They like to be in recess, away

74
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,319
from their job, and of course August is a traditional

75
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,120
time for recess in Congress. One must also say that

76
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,560
to be fair. However, not when there's important legislation going

77
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:54,920
on and the Save Act is the president's number one priority.

78
00:04:54,959 --> 00:04:58,319
Doesn't seem to be much of the priority of John Thune,

79
00:04:58,399 --> 00:05:02,959
the establishment Republican and the NR city the Senate Committee.

80
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:09,199
The Republican Senate Committee, earns has issued a talking points memo,

81
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,399
which is also not uncommon to the members of the

82
00:05:14,439 --> 00:05:21,279
Republican Senate Caucus. But in it this little talking points

83
00:05:21,319 --> 00:05:25,519
memo says, or when they get questions on party in

84
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:30,519
fighting the Save Act or the filibuster, the media, they say,

85
00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:35,480
is going to try to redivide Republicans by asking your boss.

86
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:38,160
This is sent to staffords to tell their bosses what

87
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,839
to say by asking your boss to pick a side

88
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:49,240
in any given question. It is crucial, a crucial to

89
00:05:49,439 --> 00:05:55,120
reject these false choices between the President and Senate leaders.

90
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,879
Express support for both of them. Reject the false choice

91
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,079
between the Save Act and the philibuster. It is not

92
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:13,399
a false choice. Reject express support for both the filibuster

93
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,959
and for the Save Act into each answer by attacking

94
00:06:19,079 --> 00:06:26,920
Democrats for blocking Save, point to Republican unity and opposing

95
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:33,079
the extremely dangerous Democrat socialist agenda which will make more

96
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:41,920
life more dangerous and unaffordable for Americans. So that's how

97
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,759
they're instructing their members pretty much ignore the President's call

98
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,240
to end the filibuster by pretending that it doesn't exist.

99
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:58,680
Don't even mention that picked, don't pick a side. Oh no, no,

100
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:05,360
no argue for both of them. This is the kind

101
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:11,399
of crap that Republican staff to Republican rhinos. In the

102
00:07:11,439 --> 00:07:16,600
Republican rhino oriented Senate due to try to mask the

103
00:07:16,639 --> 00:07:19,920
fact that they are the fact that they are blocking

104
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,639
what Americans want. This is why they're not fighting. They're

105
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:30,920
too busy trying to figure out how to cover their behinds,

106
00:07:32,439 --> 00:07:35,399
when to get some mon dummy and the grocery stores.

107
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,199
But first, you know, over the weekend there was an

108
00:07:38,199 --> 00:07:42,680
attack in Berlin, the Berlin they were having a pride.

109
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,120
The fact that there and a German citizen with Lebanese

110
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:54,920
roots m birthrate citizen, I guess uh anyway, excuse me

111
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:59,240
for that brief aside up due blout, a German citizen

112
00:07:59,279 --> 00:08:03,040
with Lebanese roots was killed following a search that lasted

113
00:08:03,079 --> 00:08:10,199
twenty four hours after that event was attacked. He was

114
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:15,240
suspected of driving a van into a crowd near Berlin's

115
00:08:15,279 --> 00:08:17,680
Pride festival. Now this isn't the first time there have

116
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:22,480
been these kind of attacks. Remember the Christmas that happened

117
00:08:22,519 --> 00:08:24,600
over there. And this, by the way, is considered a

118
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:30,720
bit of Islamic oriented terrorism. In this case in Seattle

119
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,840
over the weekend, near the Space Needle, and I've been

120
00:08:36,919 --> 00:08:41,279
there many times. In fact, there's a great Chinese restaurant.

121
00:08:41,279 --> 00:08:44,879
I wonder if it's still over there. Man, this Chinese restaurant.

122
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,039
This is a bomb. One of the best Chinese restaurants

123
00:08:49,039 --> 00:08:51,120
I've ever been to in my life over there near

124
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:55,000
this but yeah, it's amazing. Near the Space Needle anyway,

125
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:57,519
don't know whether it's still there or not. So much

126
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:01,519
of the city has deteriorated. I spent munch time there.

127
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:08,120
A suspect was arrested after a shootout. They had a

128
00:09:08,159 --> 00:09:12,120
three day festival in Seattle near the Space Three people

129
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:21,200
killed killed at this event, others wounded, and now a

130
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:25,600
fifteen year old boy has been arrested. I shouldn't say boy,

131
00:09:26,919 --> 00:09:30,879
but a fifteen year old teenager is being held in

132
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Juvie in Juvie as they investigate this matter. He's being

133
00:09:39,039 --> 00:09:43,600
held on an investigation of firearms violations and first degree assault.

134
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:49,399
They're looking for a second suspect. The Seattle Police Chief

135
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:53,919
Sean Bond said investigators believe the two suspects were shooting

136
00:09:53,919 --> 00:09:58,799
at each other. Two people died at the scene, the

137
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:04,279
third died in the hospit pitole. The two men that died,

138
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,639
one is age nineteen, the other forty four women. Fifty

139
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,039
six were killed. Four people were wounded, including a two

140
00:10:11,159 --> 00:10:16,320
year old boy. Two other men, twenty three, twenty seven

141
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,639
women thirty nine were discharged from the hospital. Vendors were

142
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:27,559
allowed to go back today to clean up and it. Man,

143
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,519
it's called a Bite of Seattle three day festival. Hundreds

144
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:39,320
of food and retail vendors and performers and a fifteen

145
00:10:39,399 --> 00:10:43,519
year old now held in Juvie after three people killed

146
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:50,679
at that event. Uh, we're gonna take a break. But

147
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,840
before we do that, I'm all over the place today, folks.

148
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:57,600
I got so much new. There's so many news. As always,

149
00:10:57,799 --> 00:11:00,440
I don't talk about the grocery stores, but hold on

150
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,039
because I want to play some sound bites, so I

151
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,759
don't have time to play them in the first half

152
00:11:04,879 --> 00:11:07,440
hour of the show. So we're gonna talk about the

153
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,080
grocery stores in mom Donnie, but I'm gonna hold that

154
00:11:10,159 --> 00:11:13,399
till the next half hour. In this the fastest hour

155
00:11:13,919 --> 00:11:18,240
of American media period, I will set a story alert

156
00:11:18,279 --> 00:11:20,080
to a story, and I said, I can't believe the

157
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:25,240
headline of this story. Not Howard, not famed Howard University.

158
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,200
Listen to this, folks. Bet you haven't heard this anywhere else.

159
00:11:29,919 --> 00:11:34,279
Howard University is standing by a decision. You know how

160
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,360
people are you know how democrats use you know how

161
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:41,519
people democrats like to use language like, instead of saying

162
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:48,279
they're homeless, they're unhoused. You've heard that before. Listen to

163
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:54,799
this headline. Howard University stands by decision to unenroll. I'm

164
00:11:54,799 --> 00:11:58,440
not laughing at that predicament, but just the word unenrolled

165
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:05,240
hundreds of incoming students over guess what, unpaid fees and

166
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,559
they're gonna review in certain instances. Well, I mean really,

167
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:17,360
Howard University facing backlash. People are complaining and calls to

168
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:25,039
reverse course after the HBCU historically black college, reportedly informed

169
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,360
hundreds of incoming students that their enrollment had been revoked

170
00:12:30,279 --> 00:12:38,399
over unpaid fees. You read a change dot org petition

171
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,240
was launched by a user. Her name is Fatima Fatima Ahmed.

172
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,120
She says that, along with hundreds of other students, they

173
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:53,720
were suddenly unenrolled from Howard University thirteen days before moving week.

174
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,000
We found ourselves dropped from our registered classes and labeled

175
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,799
as inactive all day to pass balances on our accounts.

176
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,799
This woman, complaining for the others, says that many of

177
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:12,519
the effected students relying on scholarships loans and financial support

178
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,759
to attend our dream school, and unforeseen circumstances can often

179
00:13:16,799 --> 00:13:21,240
delay those funds. The petitions asked that before students receive

180
00:13:21,279 --> 00:13:24,159
the un they say. It says that before they receive

181
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:29,679
their unenrollment notice, the university's financial aid officers and officers

182
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,360
of the bursar had assured us as long as their

183
00:13:32,399 --> 00:13:35,799
balances were below five gs they could register and go

184
00:13:35,879 --> 00:13:43,080
to classes. This pay up before spring. And they're calling

185
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,080
on Howard University to rectify this what they call unwarranted

186
00:13:48,559 --> 00:14:01,759
disenrollment and immediately reinstate affected students. So these students haven't

187
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:06,360
paid their bills, they haven't paid their last year's tuition

188
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,080
or from the term that's already expired. They owe money

189
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,440
and they haven't paid, and they're trying to re enroll

190
00:14:14,519 --> 00:14:23,679
in The student unenrolled them left them schoolless and their

191
00:14:23,759 --> 00:14:29,399
bi itching. They want to go to school even though

192
00:14:29,399 --> 00:14:33,559
they haven't paid the money to go to school, and

193
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:34,720
they think it's their right.

194
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:37,879
Speaker 5: Ah.

195
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,759
Speaker 4: Man, it just goes to show you they haven't learned

196
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,919
a damn thing about life. We'll be back. Next segment's

197
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,919
going to be short. Hanging there, don't go away, fastest

198

Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative on

200
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:00,159
the Red Apple podcast network.

201
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 4: Here's how it will work.

202
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:07,519
Speaker 6: Once a month, our five city run grocery stores will

203
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:10,000
set prices for this core set of goods at thirty

204
00:15:10,039 --> 00:15:14,679
percent below typical retail prices, no exceptions, no gimmicks. The

205
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:17,879
savings will last for the entire month. That means no

206
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,200
weekly fluctuations nor sticker shock at the checkout line.

207
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 4: That is Mondami on how the five government run grocery

208
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:34,720
restores are going to work thirty percent below retail for

209
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,279
a core group of items. He says they're gonna last

210
00:15:38,279 --> 00:15:45,440
the entire month, that thirty percent below market price on

211
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:48,000
and I don't know what items they are on. We're

212
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,279
gonna have so much more about this. Here is one

213
00:15:51,399 --> 00:15:55,600
question that I have. What happens in a big city

214
00:15:56,759 --> 00:15:59,639
when you have something that people can get for thirty

215
00:15:59,679 --> 00:16:02,720
percent less than it normally costs. What happens? What's one

216
00:16:02,759 --> 00:16:05,720
of the first things that happened? Come on, Carlos, this

217
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:09,639
is simple, This is easy. You gotta put yourself in

218
00:16:09,639 --> 00:16:12,480
the mind of a crook. What happens when you can

219
00:16:12,519 --> 00:16:15,120
get something below what it costs. What do you do

220
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:21,720
with it? Well, it you resell it, you scout, You

221
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:24,360
go in and you buy tons of them, you get

222
00:16:24,399 --> 00:16:27,440
the market, you steal them, you do whatever, and then

223
00:16:27,879 --> 00:16:33,440
you go out and you resell it and make a bonanza.

224
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,120
I wonder if they're gonna demand photo ID to get

225
00:16:38,159 --> 00:16:40,120
this stuff in this store. There's one question that I have.

226
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,320
And we have a lot to go with these grocery stores. Folks,

227
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:49,000
this is interesting. We'll be right back to them. Go away.

228

Speaker 1: The Rush Hour with James Golden entertaining and informative.

Speaker 7: On the Red Apple podcast network.

230
00:17:01,159 --> 00:17:05,200
Speaker 4: Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, I had groove, sorry, little groove,

231
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,559
little groove theory there, But I don't like nasty food.

232
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:12,559
What kind of food is going to be thirty percent off?

233
00:17:12,759 --> 00:17:15,799
So let's listen to Mayor of New York City and

234
00:17:16,559 --> 00:17:23,079
the Commissioner of Groceries, Mayor zorn Mondami cut four. Here

235
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:23,720
he is.

236
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 8: Since twenty nineteen, food prices have soared at grocery stores

237
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,519
around the country by roughly thirty percent. In fact, talk

238
00:17:31,599 --> 00:17:33,880
to shoppers around the city and you'll often hear the

239
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,960
same frustration. Wages have not kept up, making matters. Even worse,

240
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:42,839
some corporations have built out technology that allows for something

241
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:47,079
called surveillance pricing, collecting personal data to charge some people

242
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,640
more than others for the same carton of X, for

243
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,599
the same gallon of milk. All of this leaves too

244
00:17:53,599 --> 00:17:56,839
many New Yorkers feeling like groceries are out of reach,

245
00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,799
and that is frankly unacceptable, which is one city government

246
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,759
is stepping in to make people's lives more affordable. Today,

247
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,079
I am proud to announce a collection of essential staples

248
00:18:08,319 --> 00:18:11,640
that will be predictably thirty percent cheaper at all five

249
00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,720
of our city run grocery stores.

250
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 4: Yay, CEO of the new Grocery story is Mondami Domy's

251
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,440
gonna make things thirty percent cheaper. Okay, So again, let's

252
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:31,720
examine what happens if it's not nasty food. If it's

253
00:18:31,799 --> 00:18:35,680
nasty food and it's thirty percent cheaper, no one wants

254
00:18:35,759 --> 00:18:39,240
nasty food except for a few people. The nasty boys

255
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,880
that Janet Jackson was talking about. They eat nasty food

256
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,640
and they like nasty food. But most of us don't

257
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,599
like nasty food. We like Janet Jackson, we like her,

258
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,880
and we don't like her in that regard. We don't

259
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,599
like nasty food. We're not gonna eat nasty food. So

260
00:18:56,559 --> 00:19:00,359
if the thirty percent off is on nasty fold food,

261
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,000
no one's going to want it at no matter what

262
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:06,440
price it is, except for the nasty food eaters. But

263
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:11,640
if it's good food and it's thirty percent off, here's

264
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:17,920
what's going to happen. This is called supplying demand. Here's

265
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,359
what's gonna happen. There's gonna be there's a demand for

266
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,759
good food. And so if you can get it thirty

267
00:19:24,839 --> 00:19:29,359
percent off, individuals are gonna look at that as an

268
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,599
opportunity and they're gonna go in and they're gonna buy

269
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,960
it at thirty percent off, and then they're gonna go

270
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,359
tell their friends. You know, this is not nasty food.

271
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,559
This is true that you and I like. And you

272
00:19:41,599 --> 00:19:44,359
know what you if you go in to the grocery

273
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,079
store and like, you playing like twenty dollars for this thing,

274
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,079
I got it here. I can get to the same thing,

275
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:56,119
and the expiration date is cool, and I can get

276
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,279
it to you for I don't give it to you

277
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,160
for like eighteen dollars. You don't even need a coupon.

278
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:07,720
You know, every one of these you buy, you say,

279
00:20:07,799 --> 00:20:09,799
you could end up saving some serious money if you

280
00:20:09,799 --> 00:20:13,000
shop with me. They go in and buy it, and

281
00:20:13,039 --> 00:20:17,400
then they resell it, they figure the mark up. Whatever. Now,

282
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,440
if individuals are gonna do this, and it won't be long.

283
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:24,839
The criminals are already figuring it out. And the people

284
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:27,000
that are good with math, you don't even have to

285
00:20:27,039 --> 00:20:28,880
be a criminal to do that. All you just have

286
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,920
to do is right. They're saying, Okay, we can get

287
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,519
it for thirty percent off, and then we can sell

288
00:20:34,559 --> 00:20:38,799
it for maybe twenty twenty five percent a We can

289
00:20:38,839 --> 00:20:43,079
make a profit. We can become the new middleman. So

290
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,480
how's the city gonna stop that at the city grocery stores? Why?

291
00:20:47,599 --> 00:20:50,359
The only way to stop it is if they have IDs.

292
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,799
And if you have to have an ID, you have

293
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,359
to say these are rationed, you have to start rationing.

294
00:21:00,079 --> 00:21:03,279
Will only have these if they're rationed. But you know

295
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:13,200
there's another group of people that like stuff like this off. Well,

296
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,240
we got a whole bunch of products. We got a

297
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:26,839
lot of product moving thirty percent off. If we get

298
00:21:26,839 --> 00:21:30,359
the market on that and we can create a shortage

299
00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:41,279
on it, we can find ourselves in some real good money.

300
00:21:42,079 --> 00:21:49,720
We can get him cheap at the five stores. How

301
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:52,599
many families we have five? How many grocery stores are

302
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:58,319
they have? Five? Every family can get a store, bro

303
00:22:01,039 --> 00:22:05,119
And there's nothing like a family grocery store for knowing

304
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:09,519
efficiencies rather than the government grocery store. You've known what

305
00:22:09,599 --> 00:22:13,920
I'm saying. You understand what I mean. Not that s

306
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,400
what's intended, but that's every piss on off. And you

307
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,400
know we could do things with that. We can make

308
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,839
some money with this. This is some serious action there.

309
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,960
It won't be long with my friends. This is just

310
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:34,000
a prediction. It's just a prediction. Here's another prediction. Here

311
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:38,440
is another prediction. It comes by way of a news

312
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,480
story that broke last week that I bet the Mayor

313
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,039
of New York hasn't heard about. Let us go to

314
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,039
cut six, my friends, this is what took place in

315
00:22:51,319 --> 00:22:57,720
Chicago last week. Towards the end of last week, I

316
00:22:57,839 --> 00:23:03,240
news the report another city where they thought government grocery

317
00:23:03,279 --> 00:23:04,599
stores were the answer.

318
00:23:04,759 --> 00:23:09,039
Speaker 9: In Chicago, progressive policies are on full display, where grocery

319
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:13,079
stores and predominantly minority neighborhoods have been forced to close,

320
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,720
leaving residents scrambling, and the city is blaming Trump's cuts

321
00:23:16,759 --> 00:23:21,240
to the SNAP program despite pumping thirteen million dollars worth

322
00:23:21,319 --> 00:23:23,480
of taxpayer money into them.

323
00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:25,079
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable.

324
00:23:25,319 --> 00:23:29,440
Speaker 9: Now these grocery stores, of course, are reaching out for

325
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,359
a private investment. We'll get to that, but just don't

326
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,279
take it from us, Take it from the Chicago residents

327
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,720
who are dealing with it and impact it directly.

328
00:23:37,759 --> 00:23:38,279
Speaker 4: Listen to this.

329
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 10: Don't be an impact on the community and people close

330
00:23:41,839 --> 00:23:44,640
nearby that they won't be able to get necessities on

331
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,920
what they need at a convenience for themselves.

332
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 8: Just opened up nas about to close down again. We

333
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,519
have nothing, you know, so I don't know what we're

334
00:23:53,559 --> 00:23:55,599
gonna do. There's nothing around him.

335
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 11: I mean gonna it's gonna affect the community for sure.

336
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,279
Ably gonna have to travel out now to go to

337
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:05,039
big grocery stores. And what about the people who don't

338
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:07,400
got transportation that ain't able to make it to the

339
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,359
big grocery stores.

340
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:12,200
Speaker 2: That's a reasonable store in the neighborhood, you know, Yeah,

341
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:13,119
that's some I'm around here.

342
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:14,119
Speaker 12: It's so expensive.

343
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 13: So Chicago's the City of Chicago ended up funding this

344
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,240
grocery store. It's called Save a Lot, and there was

345
00:24:24,279 --> 00:24:26,880
a lot of investment into it, and yet in a

346
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:30,119
very short period of time they had to close. There's

347
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:34,119
multiple reasons why this happened. One is, if you go

348
00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:38,680
online and you look up this particular store this change,

349
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:42,160
we see a lot of TikTok videos with people's stealings.

350
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,400
There was also a lot of theft going on, and

351
00:24:44,759 --> 00:24:48,240
as you know, grocery stores operate on a very slim margin,

352
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,960
and so you have a city that doesn't monitor or

353
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,720
or have a lot of repercussions for crime, and then

354
00:24:55,559 --> 00:24:58,400
it causes this to happen. The other part, though, and

355
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,319
it's fortunately, is that there were changes to the Snap

356
00:25:01,319 --> 00:25:05,119
program and this particular grocery store they said thirty percent

357
00:25:05,319 --> 00:25:09,000
of their sales depended on people using their Snap and

358
00:25:09,079 --> 00:25:13,440
ebt and those changes, they say also impacted the bottom

359
00:25:13,519 --> 00:25:18,279
line for the store. But the bottom line, though is Charlie,

360
00:25:18,799 --> 00:25:22,519
you know, this is not exactly a free market grocery

361
00:25:22,519 --> 00:25:25,599
store and it's not operating well. And if that's the future,

362
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:28,480
I don't know. And it's a sad reminder that governments

363
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:29,480
are really terrible.

364
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 4: They were, there was there was They were i think

365
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,839
to thirty percent to save a lot, to save a

366
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,440
lots to my friend, you didn't. Yeah you could save

367
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,000
a lot, but you couldn't get a lot for long.

368
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,119
Let's examine this. That poor girl sounded so that girl reporter,

369
00:25:48,519 --> 00:25:51,000
she was stumbling around trying to get it out because

370
00:25:51,039 --> 00:25:54,480
she felt so uncomfortable having to tell the truth. Why

371
00:25:54,519 --> 00:25:58,440
did the store close? Well, you know, there are a

372
00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,559
lot of factors that top that go into op that

373
00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:09,319
there was theft. What she could have said, the yns

374
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,720
were stealing like no tomorrow. She could have said that

375
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,240
if she wanted to get thrown off out of a job.

376
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:21,279
No one wants to say things like that. But she said, well, yeah,

377
00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,880
that was theft, a lot of theft. And then you

378
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,960
have a crime written. Gee, what a shock. You put

379
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:36,039
a store, a brand new, shiny store in a crime

380
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:42,079
ridden neighborhood where the mayor and the governor don't want

381
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,000
help in bringing down the crime rate because it would

382
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,200
make them look bad. But you open up a bunch

383
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720
of new save a lots. You know, we'll call it

384
00:26:51,839 --> 00:26:57,759
the store save a lot, kind of like Camelot, except

385
00:26:57,759 --> 00:27:02,599
we can save a lot instead of cam will save

386
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,640
a lot of camelot in your crime ridden neighborhood. But

387
00:27:06,839 --> 00:27:10,559
they problem. When you put a store in a crime

388
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:15,359
ridden neighborhood and you open the doors, the criminals come

389
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:21,440
in too. Criminals like the shop, Criminals like to eat,

390
00:27:21,519 --> 00:27:25,839
some of them eat nasty food, and they look in

391
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,880
they say, well, I'm a criminal. I don't have to pay,

392
00:27:29,039 --> 00:27:32,119
I can just take. And if you live in a

393
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,599
city where it's okay to be a criminal, because after all,

394
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,799
law enforcement they're the problem, not the criminals, then the

395
00:27:40,799 --> 00:27:46,519
criminals say, hey, we got the joe. Doesn't take long

396
00:27:46,599 --> 00:27:50,920
for word to spread. There's somewhere new we can steal from.

397
00:27:51,039 --> 00:27:58,839
We're criminals. I got a list of stores that save

398
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:03,519
a lot. Man. This is they weren't messing around. They

399
00:28:03,559 --> 00:28:05,640
opened up there. These things opened up just a little

400
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,960
bit ago. When they closed, they closed at eight thirty

401
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,200
two West sixty third Street, they closed it seventy nine

402
00:28:12,279 --> 00:28:15,119
oh four South House that Avenue, and then up on

403
00:28:15,279 --> 00:28:18,240
South had House that Avenue a little bit further up

404
00:28:19,079 --> 00:28:23,079
on one oh seven hundred they closed up that one.

405
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,039
That's when the South in the South, you know what

406
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:30,079
that means. And then they closed in twenty eight fifty

407
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,039
eight East eighty third Street that saved a lot closed too,

408
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:36,519
and the one on Pulaski Road closed to now you

409
00:28:36,559 --> 00:28:40,960
know Pulaski Road. Pulaski Road used to be a different ethnicity.

410
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,440
That's why they named it Pulowski. But in them people

411
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:46,279
moved out and said a lot of people moved in

412
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:52,279
and Save a Lot came in and now Save a

413
00:28:52,319 --> 00:28:59,720
Lot moved out. The neighborhood a new story. Save a

414
00:28:59,759 --> 00:29:03,200
Lot says, Save a Lot made the difficult decision to

415
00:29:03,319 --> 00:29:10,559
end our arrangement with Yellow Banana. Two Yellow Banana agreed

416
00:29:10,599 --> 00:29:13,000
to keep them stores for ten years. A company called

417
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:18,240
Yellow Banana twenty six million to buy and renovate stores

418
00:29:18,599 --> 00:29:25,920
on the South side and West side of Illinois. Yellow

419
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:33,799
Banana ain't on it. Save a Lot, Yellow Bananas, Criminals,

420
00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:37,839
Chicago life, my friends, we didn't get to so much.

421
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,440

But we will get to it. Their stuff going on.

424
00:29:50,039 --> 00:29:55,640
The Democrats are broke heading into the twenty four elections.

425
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,359
And by the way, Donald Trump wants to take this

426

angry black congress women, one of them. Now, this one

437
00:30:51,599 --> 00:30:53,599
is somewhere in the middle. She's not as old an

438
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:59,480
obnoxious as Maxine, She's not as young and super obnoxious

439
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:03,519
as s mend Crockett. She's in the middle. She's from

440
00:31:03,559 --> 00:31:08,440
the Virgin Island. Her name is Stacy Plaskett. She had

441
00:31:08,839 --> 00:31:11,680
she was in a debate on the Virgin Islands. You'll

442
00:31:11,759 --> 00:31:14,759
recognize why we're playing the clip as the clip is playing,

443
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:18,000
so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, from a debate

444
00:31:18,039 --> 00:31:22,160
that was held in the Virgin Islands, you'll hear congress

445
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,880
Woman Stacy Plasket delicate plasket.

446
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,839
Speaker 10: On November eighteenth, twenty twenty five, you dodge censor by

447
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:31,680
a narrow vote from your house colleagues after it was

448
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,559
revealed by the Washington Post that you were texting with

449
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:39,079
Jeffrey Epstein while questioning Donald Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen.

450
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,799
The very next day, you went on CNN and rebuked Epstein, stating,

451
00:31:44,039 --> 00:31:47,400
quote having a friendship with him is not something that

452
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,480
I would deem to have end quote. However, in the

453
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:54,039
US Department of Justice files, your own ward spined a

454
00:31:54,039 --> 00:31:57,519
different picture. The Dog dropped a batch of Epstein files

455
00:31:57,559 --> 00:32:01,519
in February twenty twenty six, which included a text exchange

456
00:32:01,559 --> 00:32:05,440
released with Epstein where you stayed quote, I appreciate your

457
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,960
support and hope I'm not presumptuous to consider you a

458
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:12,480
friend end quote, to which her response quote privileged to

459
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:15,400
be called a friend end quote. Why did you change

460
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:18,920
the niche of your relationship with Epstein in your interview

461
00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:19,480
with CNN?

462
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,079
Speaker 12: Thank you for the question. And let me first say

463
00:32:23,119 --> 00:32:28,559
that this is a very difficult chapter in virgin I.

464
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:33,480
It's history being engaged having tagged Jeffrey Epstein here, and

465
00:32:33,599 --> 00:32:39,039
that I completely support the work that the victims have

466
00:32:39,119 --> 00:32:42,119
done to bring his crimes to life. I have been

467
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:46,480
a former prosecutor, I am a mother, I am no

468
00:32:46,599 --> 00:32:51,039
way involved or would support any of the actions of

469
00:32:51,119 --> 00:32:56,400
Jeffrey Epstein. Indeed, the victims themselves, in a civil lawsuit,

470
00:32:56,839 --> 00:33:02,440
dismissed all claims against me and souling me being engaged

471
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:07,240
in anything nefarious that would have supported his actions. Asking

472
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:11,440
an individual to give you resources or campaign money to

473
00:33:11,599 --> 00:33:15,720
your campaign and calling them a friend does not mean

474
00:33:15,759 --> 00:33:19,160
that you have a friendship and mine. Saying thank you,

475
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,799
my friends, my friends, I'm asking for your support is

476
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,400
something that we do regularly.

477
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 14: Begging him to be I don't think you don't think

478
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,880
his presumption WI was if I call you a friend,

479
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,519
a friend is not a friend. It doesn't mean you

480
00:33:41,559 --> 00:33:44,279
want to be this woman.

481
00:33:46,799 --> 00:33:51,119
Speaker 4: With even to day because it is Andy White's heavenly birthday.

482
