Rush now Here's James Golden. 18 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 6: At the heart of this path is a property tax increase. 19 00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,480 This would effectively be a tax on working in middle 20 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680 class New Yorkers who have a medium income of one 21 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,879 hundred and twenty two thousand dollars. The second path also 22 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,760 requires us to raid our reserves. It would mean with 23 00:01:23,879 --> 00:01:26,920 drawing nine hundred and eighty million dollars from our city's 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,879 Rainy Day Fund in fiscal year twenty twenty six, and 25 00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:32,760 two hundred and twenty nine million dollars from the Retiree 26 00:01:32,879 --> 00:01:36,680 Health Benefit Trust in fiscal year twenty twenty seven. These 27 00:01:36,719 --> 00:01:39,599 are steps that have been taken before, but only in 28 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,840 moments of extraordinary external crisis. Mayor Bloomberg's response to the 29 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,120 two thousand and eight financial collapse and Mayor Deblasio's response 30 00:01:47,159 --> 00:01:50,640 to the enormous revenue shortfall caused by the pandemic. We 31 00:01:50,719 --> 00:01:53,000 do not want to have to turn to such drastic 32 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,719 measures to balance our budget. 33 00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:01,359 Speaker 3: Ha h. 34 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 7: Let's see.

It is 45 00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:53,960 Yoko Ono's birthday today you know, and Yoko Ono was 46 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,120 born in nineteen thirty three. She's hanging in there. But 47 00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:02,120 Philip Philip, who knows so much about music. These young 48 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:06,439 guys blow my mind because they know so much. Like 49 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,520 Philip and Kevin and all these guys, they know so 50 00:03:10,599 --> 00:03:14,520 much about me Yoko Ono's Plastic Ono band or the 51 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,199 plastic band. We would sing, do we have anything in 52 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,520 the library from Yoko Ono? 53 00:03:21,199 --> 00:03:31,479 Speaker 3: I hope not. I guess we did. That was Yoko Yeah? 54 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,560 Was that recorder when a car ran over her foot? 55 00:03:33,879 --> 00:03:34,159 Was that? 56 00:03:37,039 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 7: There was another one that I first heard and literally 57 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:44,520 she was throwing it sounded like she was regurgitating. I 58 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,560 guess it was early performance art and h So Happy birthday, 59 00:03:50,719 --> 00:03:57,879 Yoko Ono. Okay, the Mandami business, folks, let's just jump 60 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,039 right into it. Let's go to cut. You heard, you 61 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,199 heard the highlight of it. But let's just go to 62 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:09,639 cut to with Zoran Mandami, the Mayor of New York City. 63 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,639 Speaker 6: For those who have watched budget after budget, it is 64 00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,919 tempting to assume that we are engaging in the same 65 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,079 dance as our predecessors. Let me assure you nothing about 66 00:04:19,079 --> 00:04:22,720 this is typical. That's why our solutions won't be either. 67 00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:26,600 There are two paths to breage this gap. The first 68 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:30,120 is the most sustainable and the fairest path. This is 69 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,319 the path of ending the drain on our city and 70 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:34,879 raising taxes on the richest New Yorkers and the most 71 00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:39,480 profitable corporations. The onus for resolving this crisis should not 72 00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:41,879 be placed on the backs of working and middle class 73 00:04:41,879 --> 00:04:45,040 New Yorkers. If we do not fix this structural imbalance 74 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,800 and do not heed the calls of New Yorkers to 75 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,279 raise taxes on the wealthy, this crisis will not disappear. 76 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,759 It will simply return year after year, forcing harder and 77 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,160 harsher choices each time. And if we do not go 78 00:04:59,199 --> 00:05:01,759 down the first path, the city will be forced down 79 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:05,839 a second, more harmful path. Faced with no other choice, 80 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,920 the city would have to exercise the only revenue lever 81 00:05:09,319 --> 00:05:12,319 fully within our own control. We would have to raise 82 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,240 property taxes. 83 00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 3: And there you have it. 84 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,519 Speaker 7: The Queen's Borough President is a gentleman by the For 85 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,879 those of you outside of the New York area, the 86 00:05:25,879 --> 00:05:32,319 Big Apple, as it were, is divided into five distinct 87 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:36,839 If you were overseas or maybe in a British country, 88 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,879 we would call them provinces. In New York we call 89 00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:47,319 them burrows. The barrows. You have the Barrow of Stanton 90 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:54,279 oiland the Richmond actually Borough of Richmond. You have the 91 00:05:54,399 --> 00:05:59,360 Kings and Queen's Counties, the boroughs of Queen, Yes, Kings 92 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,399 and Queen's Counties. Queens it is Queens County. Kings is Brooklyn. 93 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,680 So you have the Borough of Brooklyn and the Borough 94 00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:12,720 of Queens. Then you have the Borough of the Bronx, 95 00:06:13,879 --> 00:06:17,839 and of course the Borough of Manhattan. All five of 96 00:06:17,879 --> 00:06:23,439 those comprise the big Apple New York City, the five barrels. 97 00:06:24,639 --> 00:06:33,480 Queens is an interesting borough. Queens was the first major 98 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:35,879 it's a city unto itself. 99 00:06:35,639 --> 00:06:39,079 Speaker 3: Back in the nineties. 100 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 7: I want to say, could have been the eighties, but 101 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,040 I believe it was the nineties. For the first time, 102 00:06:45,399 --> 00:06:51,079 the median income of Black Americans in the Borough of 103 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:57,560 Queens was higher than any other group. It is Southeast 104 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,639 Queens particularly, and I grew up in South East Queens. 105 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 3: You have and part of what contributed to. 106 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,199 Speaker 7: This was an influx of our neighbors from the Caribbean nations, 107 00:07:11,279 --> 00:07:14,639 especially the West Indies. And let me tell you, folks, 108 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:21,240 these are some industrious people, industrious, highly educated, a lot 109 00:07:21,279 --> 00:07:28,600 of liberals, sadly, but highly educated, highly entrepreneurial in spirit, 110 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,720 and they many of them flocked to Queens, especially in 111 00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:42,160 the areas of Laurelton, Cambria Heights, Saint Albans, Springfield Gardens, 112 00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:46,680 and the Light in Queens. And it is their legacy, 113 00:07:46,839 --> 00:07:53,639 along with the Native Black Americans that resided in Queens. 114 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,800 My family was among the first moved there in the 115 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,079 nineteen fifties. It was still mostly a white all of it, 116 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:03,240 and then white flight came. You know, we got some 117 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,240 things moving in. Let's move out. All my little white 118 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:11,480 friends disappeared, Danny Boy and all that. They were getting 119 00:08:11,519 --> 00:08:15,079 out of here, moving to Breezy Point, moving to wherever 120 00:08:15,759 --> 00:08:19,240 they left. And slowly, it didn't happen at first. It 121 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,480 started slowly, and then it picked like an avalanche. Sections, 122 00:08:23,879 --> 00:08:28,439 entire sections of Queens became all black. Then you had 123 00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:33,080 other waves, like the Caribbean waves. Then you had waves 124 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:40,080 of other immigrant populations from India, from Asia, from all over. 125 00:08:40,279 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 3: You have other areas. 126 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 7: Some of the Russians, as you know, settled in to Brooklyn, 127 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,039 and then you had a contingent of others. People moved 128 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,879 into Bay Ridge and so New York has this amazing history. 129 00:08:53,919 --> 00:09:01,039 It is truly a melting pot. But or digress. Black 130 00:09:01,159 --> 00:09:07,919 residents in Queens are a major population force. So let 131 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,440 us listen in to Queen's Borough President Donovan Richard in 132 00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:17,960 the Borough of Queen's Yes, that would be cut five 133 00:09:18,759 --> 00:09:26,440 with his reaction to Mayor Zordan Mondami demanding stick him up, Kathy, 134 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,240 either you raised the tax on biggness Like I said, 135 00:09:29,279 --> 00:09:32,399 I want to slap everybody with an almost ten percent 136 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,720 increase in their property taxes to get out of this hole. 137 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,879 And here is what Queen's Borough President Donovan Richards has 138 00:09:40,919 --> 00:09:41,600 to say, Well, we. 139 00:09:41,639 --> 00:09:42,919 Speaker 3: Sought a foreclosure crisis. 140 00:09:42,919 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 8: Where did it peas the foreclosure crisis always peaked in 141 00:09:46,159 --> 00:09:49,320 Southeast Quentys. So, without a doubt, you're pushing people out 142 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,120 of their home. And even as we talk about a 143 00:09:51,159 --> 00:09:56,159 pathway to affordable housing and a pathway to ownership, it's 144 00:09:56,159 --> 00:09:58,240 hard to buy a home now. That's really setting back 145 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,120 generation well and they're going to force people out of 146 00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,879 their homes. And we know we already see what happened 147 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:09,039 in two thousandy. The Southeast Queens was hit hard. 148 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:15,759 Speaker 7: Excremium Southeast Queens was hit hard you do this, you're 149 00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:19,039 going to force people out of their homes because they 150 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:26,559 will not be able to afford this humongous tax bill. Now, 151 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,399 there was a candidate for city council. Her name is 152 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:36,679 Latina Brown. I doubt whether Latina is a Republican. I 153 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:40,600 doubt whether she even Well, that's not fair. I don't 154 00:10:40,639 --> 00:10:43,279 know her. I don't know whether she knows any Republicans 155 00:10:43,399 --> 00:10:46,759 or not. You know, Queens used to have have a 156 00:10:46,799 --> 00:10:50,159 Black Queens used to have a Republican party in Southeast Queens. 157 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,759 Even in black neighborhoods, there was still a Republican party presence. 158 00:10:55,759 --> 00:10:58,320 They high tailed out of there too. They got the 159 00:10:58,399 --> 00:11:02,240 hell out of Dodge after it became overwhelmingly I don't 160 00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:05,759 know whether some Republicans have wandered back in now. I 161 00:11:05,799 --> 00:11:08,639 think maybe a few, but for a long time they 162 00:11:08,759 --> 00:11:13,440 just vanished. But anyway, here is New York City Council 163 00:11:13,759 --> 00:11:21,200 candidate and activist Latina Brown on the idea that Mondami 164 00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:24,799 is going to raise property taxes in New York to 165 00:11:24,879 --> 00:11:25,639 ten percent. 166 00:11:26,279 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 9: Hey guys, this Latinia fairy community advocate. This video is 167 00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:34,279 for Governor Kathy Hokeel. I am calling on you and 168 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:39,519 your administration to strip financial power away from Zoan Mundani 169 00:11:40,399 --> 00:11:43,759 because he is clearly unfit to lead the city as 170 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,799 a leader. And on top of that, this budget that 171 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:51,559 he puts together, he is merely focused on illegals. He 172 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,480 is not focused on the American people. He's not focused 173 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,639 on the taxpayers. If he accomplishes raising the New York 174 00:11:59,639 --> 00:12:02,679 City property tax, it is going to be a domino 175 00:12:02,759 --> 00:12:06,120 effect and the black community will feel it first. It's 176 00:12:06,159 --> 00:12:10,799 gonna start from condos to co ops, to buildings that 177 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,559 black homeowners own. You're gonna push out your voting block. 178 00:12:16,039 --> 00:12:19,639 You're gonna push out the people who have been carrying 179 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:24,200 the burden of the Democratic Party for decades.

So if you're gonna look at the rebuilding, 361 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:54,319 you could say that it's started in around April. The 362 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680 fact that we have over four hundred homes in the 363 00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:02,960 Pacific Palisades that are acting under construction. Now there's about 364 00:26:03,039 --> 00:26:06,039 two that are pretty much ready to move in and 365 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,119 several more that will be ready in the next few months. 366 00:26:09,839 --> 00:26:12,960 I know that it is very difficult for anyone who 367 00:26:13,039 --> 00:26:17,480 is not in their homes, but this is actually pretty quick. 368 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:21,759 Speaker 3: Are you satisfied? Are you know of the effort. 369 00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 12: I'm not trying to say everything is wonderful here. We 370 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,759 have thousands of people out of their homes. And by 371 00:26:27,799 --> 00:26:30,240 the way, in terms of the numbers in the Palisades, 372 00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:34,079 there were five thousand homes that were destroyed. We have 373 00:26:34,319 --> 00:26:39,079 approved the rebuilding of eight hundred homes. Four hundred are 374 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:44,799 in construction now. And people's challenges are complex. Our responsibility 375 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:48,720 is permitting process and also the advocacy so that they 376 00:26:48,759 --> 00:26:51,359 are able to get the insurance and the relief from 377 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,680 banking in terms of their mortgages. 378 00:26:53,799 --> 00:26:54,920 Speaker 3: What would you have done differently? 379 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 12: Oh my goodness. Let me just tell you that Los 380 00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:03,039 Angeles face See, this disaster is something that Los Angeles 381 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,000 has never seen before and what we are bracing ourselves for, 382 00:27:07,079 --> 00:27:08,960 and I think a lot of other places around the 383 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,559 country are weather events that we've never had and would 384 00:27:12,559 --> 00:27:16,359 have never expected. Those were hurricane strength wins in an 385 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,279 area that has never seen a hurricane. And so in 386 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:25,319 terms of our preparation, way more aggressive looking at expecting 387 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,799 events that we would have not experienced in our city before. 388 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 7: All right, let's just go back through this. Sixteen thousand 389 00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:42,480 homes burned down. Let me just say that one more time. 390 00:27:44,079 --> 00:27:59,359 Sixteen thousand homes burnt down over one year ago. Yes, 391 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:04,000 this is we We are well past the anniversary of 392 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:10,119 these fires in la which, by the way, seemed to 393 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:17,880 have in large part been spread because of negligence, and 394 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:23,599 that is being reported on negligence. They did not do 395 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,359 the necessary work to make sure a fire that was 396 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:31,480 put out was completely out. It was smoldering underground. When 397 00:28:31,519 --> 00:28:37,119 the winds came, it kicked it into high gear. Negligens 398 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:41,119 on behalf of the city, at least part of it. 399 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:50,039 Sixteen thousand homes burned down, Yes. 400 00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:55,079 Speaker 3: And only five percent is scheduled to be rebuilt. 401 00:28:56,119 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 7: And only five percent of them are scheduled. Thank you, 402 00:28:59,559 --> 00:29:04,160 he did the ASCU. Thank you, Carlos. Only five percent, 403 00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:08,559 over a year later, have any schedule to be rebuilt. 404 00:29:10,079 --> 00:29:15,240 The number of homes that have been rebuilt according to 405 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:16,799 an article I read last. 406 00:29:16,559 --> 00:29:24,319 Speaker 3: Week one she says ten. What I read was one. 407 00:29:24,359 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 7: But okay, maybe somehow miraculously they built nine more in 408 00:29:30,039 --> 00:29:35,319 about two weeks. But I read one and that one 409 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:42,079 had been permitted before the fire started. Now she says 410 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:50,599 two are ready to move in, two houses over a 411 00:29:50,720 --> 00:30:01,319 year later, and she's pretty much saying, you know, it's difficult, folks. 412 00:30:01,519 --> 00:30:04,400 This not and by the way, and she pointed to 413 00:30:04,519 --> 00:30:06,559 most of those houses are in the Pali sage. 414 00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:07,319 Speaker 3: Do you know. 415 00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 7: There is a black community in LA and the reports 416 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:18,000 coming out of LA is that that black community's houses 417 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,079 were while they were on fire, were pretty much ignored 418 00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:22,400 by the city. 419 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 3: Yes, my friends, ignored. 420 00:30:28,200 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 7: And you don't hear her talking about any rebuilding that's 421 00:30:30,519 --> 00:30:33,200 going on there. I'll have to dig out the name 422 00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:40,279 of that community. So here you have New York Zorn 423 00:30:40,519 --> 00:30:44,079 Mandami is about to sock it to all New Yorkers 424 00:30:45,119 --> 00:30:50,480 hardest hit people of color, who they are fine with 425 00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:56,079 chasing out of their houses with high taxes. In Los Angeles, 426 00:30:58,359 --> 00:31:02,480 everybody's gets slammed. But apparently, the way we're reading the 427 00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,920 latest coming out of the fires, people of color hardest hit. Again, 428 00:31:09,039 --> 00:31:11,440 what does all of this tell you about your Democrat 429 00:31:11,480 --> 00:31:20,799 Party leadership? Friends, I'm just acting now, and we had 430 00:31:20,839 --> 00:31:24,279 some other things in here. You know, Stephen Colbert is 431 00:31:24,319 --> 00:31:27,039 making a big deal because he wanted to have this guy, 432 00:31:29,039 --> 00:31:33,039 which his face is running against Jasmine Crockett. The FCC 433 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,000 raised eyebrows over at CBC. You got a CBS. You 434 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:39,519 guys are gonna do equal time, and this guy's panties 435 00:31:39,519 --> 00:31:43,720 are in a bunch, went on the air slamming CBS. 436 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 3: I don't want to just get rid of this guy. 437 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:52,680 Speaker 7: Now equal time just so everybody radio has to live 438 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:56,599 by equal time rules in political elections. All of us 439 00:31:56,640 --> 00:32:00,599 that do shows. Red Apple Media is serious about making 440 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:07,160 sure that everything is letter of the law perfect. And 441 00:32:07,359 --> 00:32:13,720 each election season we are given the legal advice about 442 00:32:13,799 --> 00:32:18,039 equal time and what you do. And so unless you're 443 00:32:18,079 --> 00:32:22,000 going to let all parties do at certain points, you 444 00:32:22,039 --> 00:32:25,279 can't do interviews unless you're going to equal to do 445 00:32:25,480 --> 00:32:29,200 equal time. And this guy's acting like some kind of 446 00:32:29,279 --> 00:32:34,079 Prima Donna. Panties in a bunch because now he has 447 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,400 to actually obey the law of the public airwaves. And 448 00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,799 I just want to add a caution. It's not just 449 00:32:41,920 --> 00:32:46,559 equal time for dinner Democrats. Cobert, if nobody ever told 450 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,599 if you want to put on these Democrats, somebody needs 451 00:32:49,599 --> 00:32:53,519 to check that you're putting on an equal number of 452 00:32:53,920 --> 00:33:00,000 Republican candidates vying for the same office too, not just Democrat. 453 00:33:02,119 --> 00:33:07,359 The lazy days of Democrat ignoring the law are apparently over, 454 00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:12,440 So get your panties unbunched and deal with it. Everybody 455 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,559 else in broadcasting has to deal with it. 456 00:33:17,079 --> 00:33:17,400 Speaker 1: Hmmm. 457 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:24,480 Speaker 7: I'm getting some advice on that woman who's married to 458 00:33:24,519 --> 00:33:26,359 the Margo who might have to divorce him. I ain't 459 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,680 still love him, Bamy devorcee him because there isn't a 460 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:34,240 couple of agrees with everything. I'm sure he's contemplating the same. 461 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:38,880 Focus on what brought them together, and leave politics aside. 462 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:43,839 And if that doesn't work, bend your head against the 463 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:50,279 wall and knock some sense into yourself. That advice. 464 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,039 Speaker 3: See, I like that. Leave the politics out of it. 465 00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:57,559 Speaker 7: You know, James Carville and Mary Madden have been married 466 00:33:57,559 --> 00:34:00,279 for I don't know how long. You talk about two 467 00:34:00,319 --> 00:34:06,559 people that are the complete opposite and they manage to 468 00:34:06,559 --> 00:34:12,199 have a beautiful, wonderful marriage together. There isn't a couple 469 00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,239 of degrees worth everything. I'm sure he's contemplating the same 470 00:34:15,360 --> 00:34:18,599 focus on what brought them together. Leave the politics out 471 00:34:18,599 --> 00:34:22,800 of it aside. If that doesn't work, bang your head 472 00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:28,199 against the wall and knock some sense into yourself. That 473 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:34,719 is from the Countess of conspiracy like that, keep it 474 00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:41,639 right here.

California is now going 486 00:35:56,159 --> 00:36:04,119 to ban blackjack from these card rooms only.
