Weekly Review With Clay and Buck H3 - FL Stole the Cash Cows
3/21/202637 mincomplete
0:00This is an iHeart Podcast.
0:02Guaranteed human. Third hour of Clay Enbot kicks off right now.
0:07Thanks, everybody, for being here with us, doing our show, informing, entertaining, breaking it all
0:12down for you, and also want to take your thoughts, comments, and everything else.
0:17See, we look at those VIP emails, and we put questions to the people making
0:21the big decisions up on Capitol Hill and in the White House when we can.
0:26So we're seeing them all.
0:27Send those in. Send the talkbacks in.
0:30Something I want to get into, Clay, the two hearings are going on right now,
0:33or I should say today, not right this moment necessarily, but two hearings that were
0:36going on today on Capitol Hill.
0:39One was the Mark Wayne Mullin confirmation hearing.
0:42I do believe he will be confirmed.
0:44Senator Rand Paul will be a no vote, as he just told us in the
0:47last hour, and these two guys just don't like each other.
0:51That's just where this is.
0:52There are people who, you know, Clay, some people don't like me, which I find
1:00unfathomable. But there are people who don't even know me and don't like me, and
1:04there's some people, very few people know me and don't like me.
1:06But, you know, even Clay Travis, as affable a fellow as he is, I'm sure
1:12there are, I don't know, some woke sports writers out there who just don't like
1:16you. Lots of them actually that hate me.
1:17Yeah, just don't like you.
1:19And they say mean things about my friend Clay, and then I want to fight
1:22them. But, you know, it's okay.
1:24People have their disputes. And, of course, the senators will weigh in on what they
1:29think about all this with their votes, with their confirmation votes.
1:31So we put it out there.
1:33We will have Senator Mullin on after, assuming he's confirmed, or either way, actually.
1:38If he wants to, he may not come on, by the way.
1:40He might say, look, everything that had to be said was said, but we're not
1:44taking some position on this other than letting these two important voices in the Republican
1:50Party have that discussion. So, yeah, we've already reached out to his team, and so,
1:54you know, he's welcome to come on.
1:55Okay, a couple things here.
1:59First one is the, so Tulsi Gabbard is testifying on the Hill.
2:03I want to get to her, some of her testimony, the DNI.
2:08I don't even think I agree with Tulsi Gabbard necessarily on a whole range of
2:12foreign policy issues. But I do like her as a person.
2:14I think she's an ethical, good person, and I think she's a patriot.
2:17So that informs my judgments of her.
2:19I feel the same way about Joe Kent.
2:22I think he's a patriot.
2:23I think that he has given a lot to this country, and I don't really
2:27like people throwing that to the wayside over a policy dispute on the right so
2:32quickly. I'm seeing a little bit of that.
2:33You can say Joe Kent is wrong.
2:35You can say Joe Kent is crazy for what he's putting forward on this Iran
2:39war. That's up to you.
2:40But the guy served, and the guy lost his wife, who was serving in a
2:45forward -deployed combat -enabling role.
2:51So let's all just maintain that level of, I think, earned respect that the guy
2:55has. Again, you want to trash his resignation or you think it's a bad idea,
2:58that's fine. But people are saying things like, you know, I'm not even going to
3:02say what they're saying, but they're saying crazy stuff.
3:03Oh, he's a traitor. The guy's not a traitor.
3:06Caroline Levitt spoke about this.
3:07This is cut nine. Let's hear what she had to say about the Joe Kent
3:11resignation from NCTC director. He said he always thought Joe Kent was a good guy,
3:16obviously has a commendable military record and experience.
3:21However, he was not someone who was involved in the presidential daily brief, part of
3:26the president's intelligence briefings over the last several months.
3:30I have not seen him here at the White House for quite some time.
3:33And the president feels it's deeply disappointing that after the president gave him an opportunity
3:38in this administration to serve the American people, that he would resign it with a
3:42letter filled with falsehoods, accusing the president of the United States by being controlled by
3:48a foreign country. That's both insulting and laughable all at the same time.
3:52The president is the leader of the most powerful country and military in the world.
3:55Nobody tells him what to do.
3:58Now, this is basically, Clay, what we were saying.
4:01I mean, I even said this.
4:02I'm like, no one tells Trump what to do.
4:03I said that yesterday. It's like no one puts baby in a corner.
4:05No one tells Trump what to do.
4:07But the way that this was handled by Caroline Levitt here from the White House,
4:11I think this is totally, totally within bounds, totally on point, which is he's a
4:16good guy. I think he loves America.
4:18He's over his skis on this one.
4:20It's a shame he didn't do more with the role.
4:22And, you know, people are allowed to disagree.
4:24This is America, you know, nothing nasty or personal, but saying he's he's off on
4:28this one. And, you know, that's that this.
4:31This is why we played the audio from the 1980s yesterday, because I think there
4:35are a lot of things you can say about President Trump.
4:39If you disagree with him, he's at the behest of anyone or they can bully
4:46him into doing anything, I think is completely and utterly untrue.
4:52The idea that there is anyone who could bully President Trump.
4:55I don't think there's anyone on the planet who could bully President Trump into anything
4:58that he didn't otherwise want to do.
5:01Right. Can you which is the job of the president?
5:04Can you sit down in front of President Trump and say, hey, this is why
5:08we believe we need to strike Iran or why the Venezuela decision makes sense?
5:13Buck, you've been in these rooms, you've briefed the president.
5:17We really want the president to get a wide variety of perspectives so that he
5:23can hear, marinate, think about.
5:25We really want the president.
5:25different arguments and then he's the ultimate decider and you I'm sure have seen a
5:31lot of times when people in positions of power have been pitched on two divergent
5:36perspectives I I'm not a big fan personally this is just me of hey I
5:42disagree with something someone did so I'm gonna go public and everybody needs to know
5:48that I disagree that's my personal opinion like if I we work for I heart
5:54if I heart made a decision one day that I disagreed with I wouldn't come
5:58on the radio and be like I can no longer work here I would make
6:02my pitch other people make decisions I don't run the company if all of our
6:05radio stations uh invaded Greenland simultaneously and we thought there was like a human rights
6:10issue it might be a little different but yes and also by the way some
6:14people out there are like oh you know I I don't really buy that anybody
6:20inside of the Trump team can be bought and paid for anyone I'm 100 certain
6:28that Trump is not bought and paid for by Israel which is actually insulting to
6:33Trump to me to argue that a foreign country could bully or buy and pay
6:38him into doing anything but but I I think that this that's I appreciated you
6:43know Caroline Levitt's obviously excellent at her job and she's speaking on behalf of the
6:46White House but I think she's really summarizing very well what Trump's feelings about this
6:51are which is Joe Kent good guy thought he'd be a good member of the
6:54team he loves his country and he's a brave dude and I respect that on
6:59this he's gone a little wackadoo and it's good that he's leaving I'm sorry that
7:04he didn't find a way to operate better within the team I think he's wrong
7:07but it's not this is a person that everybody should like malign and and think
7:12ill of going forward it's this is a departure you know to your point Clay
7:16look he believed he didn't he was opposed to Iran war he was somebody who
7:21didn't want intervention in Iran he's a non -interventionist and he's a guy who has
7:25been out there getting shot at during intervention so you know I think he's allowed
7:30to have very much allowed to have his opinion and have his opinion heard on
7:34this he didn't change his mind or something on this last minute he's not a
7:37fit for the administration isn't this I actually think people resigning and saying this is
7:42why I'm resigning is is a good thing instead of if the alternative is remember
7:47Trump term one there are these people like the guy who wrote that like resistance
7:50editorial I'm staying in the machine to thwart Trump but no that's wrong you should
7:56not be doing that um I just I think the part of this that has
7:59rubbed uh some people very much the wrong way is the some of the insinuations
8:04about the reasons for Trump doing this as it pertains to Israel and the Israeli
8:09lobby in this country and and people are people are very sensitive about that uh
8:13that's just the truth people get very sensitive about that because there's some really crazy
8:17stuff that people say around those lines too but I think that the way the
8:21White House has handled this is is uh you know at least from this statement
8:25from Caroline Levitt totally respectful and within bounds it's a slapdown on the issue but
8:30it's not a slapdown of the man Joe Kent's not a bad guy he's wrong
8:33on this do you see the posts that I mean first of all there's a
8:38very anti -Israel element uh that is active online that isn't actually very representative of
8:45the nation as a whole but there are a lot of people who will say
8:49oh you're I mean because they'll say President Trump is corrupted do you see in
8:53the comments anytime anybody says anything positive about Israel they're like you got paid seven
8:59thousand dollars for this tweet have you seen this like that's like echoing everywhere yeah
9:05they definitely don't know how much you sold out kick for because seven grand seven
9:08grand isn't getting pop of clay out of bed I'm telling you I'm just gonna
9:11say I wouldn't do anything for seven grand much less sell an opinion for seven
9:17grand I mean some of this stuff is just the the conspiracy theories out there
9:23are crazy and again I it's really wild I think historically when we write about
9:32this the fact that a lot of people decided after October 7th that somehow Israel
9:39was the instigator and the bad guy of everything that has happened since I think
9:44is just a total bastardization of what has truly occurred and also a function that
9:51is misreading what actually has occurred which is Hamas thought that they were going to
9:57be able to severely uh disable Israel in many ways instead Buck think about this
10:04Hamas the Houthis Hezbollah now the Iranian uh the the Ayatollah himself every one of
10:13Israel's terroristic foes has been decapitated almost on a literal level as a result of
10:21the October 7th attacks Israel is in a stronger position than it's ever been before
10:25I think and Saudi Gulf states are more uh friendly toward is Israeli security and
10:31and a better future for the region than they ever have been before major Sunni
10:35Arab countries most notably Saudi Arabia but other Sunni Arab allies in the region are
10:41if the you the the craziest part of this is or maybe the you know
10:46the most ironic part of it is that Hamas's horrific 9 -11 style terror attack
10:50could end up resulting in the most the most classified middle east yes we have
10:55seen in our lifetime now that's a could that's not is yet we're obviously still
11:00bombing iran but you look at what's going on with the enemies of yes the
11:05enemies of israel but the notice the enemies of israel it's not like israel has
11:08beef with hezbollah and america's like you know who we really like hezbollah because we
11:12remember the marine beirut bombings you know the marine barracks bombings in beirut we remember
11:17what hezbollah has been doing in the region in syria and around the world like
11:22it's not like israel's enemies are are groups that we go man they're doing a
11:27lot of nice charity work and why is israel so harsh on them there are
11:30enemies too yeah and they would kill us just as quickly as they would kill
11:33israelis i mean that is just an an observation of reality um so and i
11:39wanted to get into some of the the islamist threats can we get it let's
11:43hold it because i want to come back cut six you see there clay yeah
11:45she's tulsi gabbard again i like you know and i tell you i like tulsi
11:50i like joe canna's people so you know take that for what it is tulsi
11:54gabbard going after the spread of islamism let's play when we come back in a
11:57second because i think people should hear that this is still a real concern a

14:32all of you hanging out with us we were just talking about uh playing this
14:35cut for you i believe cut six tulsi gabbard if i'm not mistaken listen the
14:42spread of islamist ideology in some cases led by individuals and organizations associated with the
14:47muslim brotherhood poses a fundamental threat to freedom and the foundational principles that under underpin
14:53western civilization islamist groups and individuals use this ideology for recruiting and financial support for
15:01terrorist groups and individuals around the world and to advance their political objectives of establishing
15:06is an islamist caliphate which governs based on sharia there are increasing examples of this
15:12in various european countries and president trump's designation of certain muslim brotherhood chapters as foreign
15:18terrorist organizations is a mechanism to secure americans against this threat in response to setbacks
15:24to their capabilities of conducting large -scale complex attacks islamist terrorist groups have shifted toward
15:31focusing on executing information operations to spread propaganda and inspire or enable individuals located in
15:37or with access to the west so still a problem yes and um again what
15:46what i would say if you want to be optimistic about things we were just
15:50talking about the continued fallout of october 7 2023 as we come up on what
15:55two and a half years uh basically since that terror attack i'm not sure that
16:02we have ever had a potential for a more secure and more stable middle east
16:07in any of our lives than where we are right now now that doesn't mean
16:11that there may not be a great deal of tumult for the rest of march
16:14for the rest of april and may but i do think if you get the
16:19abraham accord signed on to by saudi arabia and they normalize relations with israel the
16:25call the the the guest we had on yesterday i think is so important psychologically
16:30iran has been left behind iran has been completely and totally left behind by its
16:37peer groups in fact a lot of countries that were beneath iran in terms of
16:42economics and that's embarrassing and somewhat humiliating to many people who live in iran and
16:48so it's one thing if the united states is wealthier or even if israel is
16:52wealthier but when saudi arabia is wealthier when qatar is wealthier when the uae is
16:57wealthier that's a form of failure and falling behind your peer countries and i do
17:04think that that is going to in many ways motivate a long -term positive response
17:10now what we just talked about is how long does president trump want to be
17:15bombing iran how many of these guys are going to be taken out israel seems
17:20to have buck a stronger predisposition towards changing regime than the president does and the
17:27united states does which is why most of the strikes that you're seeing from the
17:30united states have to do with military infrastructure from iran and at this point most
17:36of the strikes from israel have to do with checking leadership off the off the
17:40board taking people out um and i do think that is a reconciliation that is
17:46going to have to be determined at some point in time president trump wants this
17:50to be over i think earlier than israel would prefer i also think that even
17:56if it isn't a different regime in place um when this is all over at
18:02least this phase is over there will be going forward in any negotiation don't play
18:09games with us guys yeah don't play games don't don't think you're going to do
18:14anything and get away with it at least under this president you are not going
18:18to get away with it and you will pay a terrible price for any nonsense
18:22um there is advantage in that there is value in that concept and trump knows
18:28that all right very reliable cell phone for a cell phone service at the most
18:32reasonable price that's how i would describe pure talk they're certainly less expensive and more
18:37value oriented than some of the big names like at &t verizon or t -mobile
18:40but they're also a company that relies on an all u .s based customer service
18:44team that's a team that easily understands you and they're so straightforward and they're great
18:48i've worked with them before whenever i have a question or anything comes up with
18:51my phone but by the way my phone's great because it's on america's biggest 5g
18:55network so pure talk is on the same towers and network as one of those
18:58big name companies but you're just getting it at a much better price point for
19:0325 a month pure talk gives you unlimited talk text and plenty of data and
19:07with pure talk there's no contract no consolation fee grab your cell phone pound 250
19:11say the keywords clay and buck let pure talks u .s customer service team help
19:15you make the switch in 15 minutes or less dial pound 250 say clay and
19:20buck and you'll save 50 off your first month again to make the switch to
19:24pure talk just dial pound 250 say clay and buck switch to pure talk today
19:28welcome back in here to clay and buck let's talk about new york for a
19:33second shall we hello to everybody on the w -o -r -n -y -c fantastic
19:39heritage radio station that really covers much of the tri -borough area or i'm sorry
19:44that the uh tri -state area tri -borough good lord tried tri -state i haven't
19:47been gone that long guys guy moves to florida suddenly doesn't know anything about new
19:51york anymore the tri -boroughs the three boroughs in new york i gotta i gotta
19:55remember things here i gotta keep keep things straight but w -o -r great station
19:59listening uh many of you and uh the truth is sorry we're gonna have a
20:04little fun at the expense of new york state governance right now uh that's just
20:07where this is going because a lot of very wealthy people have become quite annoyed
20:14with what's going on in new york not just new york washington state now has
20:18this millionaire's tax situation same thing california california just got so many taxes all kinds
20:24of problems kathy hochel who is honestly somebody that you wouldn't want in charge of
20:33the bake sale for the pta not even the pta you wouldn't want her running
20:38the bake sale to raise money like you would not want this woman in charge
20:41of anything of any consequence whatsoever she'd be burning the zucchini bread there's no question
20:47about it and here she is telling people that they need to move back to
20:53new york wealthy people need to move back to new york so they can fund
20:57welfare programs in new york play eight there is this anxiety which is real and
21:04we're continuing to address the affordability crisis which i believe should be the number one
21:08priority of this legislative session what can we do to take off some of that
21:12pain that new yorkers are feeling that i hear about literally every day what i
21:15want to make sure we are smart about is having a system in place where
21:20it's not just taxing for the sake of taxing and being conscious of the facts
21:26that i need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs
21:31that we want to have in our state right now there are some patriotic millionaires
21:36who stepped up okay cut me the checks i mean just if you want to
21:41be supportive but maybe the first step should be go down to palm beach and
21:45see we can bring back home you I mean, she's saying Florida, Florida has stolen
21:52her cash cows. And a lot of them are in Palm Beach.
21:56A lot of them are here in Miami Beach.
21:57Let me tell you, I got neighbors.
21:59And they're in Delray and they're in Boca.
22:02Hey, a lot of places around here.
22:05And Clay, this is really, I appreciate this.
22:09She is so unsophisticated in so many ways that she's just saying the truth here,
22:13which is New York or former New Yorkers, please move back to New York.
22:17So you can be milked like the cows you are for the welfare state.
22:22That is her pitch. And so we've told you this, and it is going to
22:27long range mean that states like Tennessee, Florida, Texas, zero state income tax states are
22:34going to be far more effective and well run than super high income tax states
22:41that are losing, as you just heard Kathy Hochul say, a lot of the base
22:45that has paid for all of the government to exist.
22:48What was the data point you gave us, Buck, that New York, I think, has
22:53a little bit fewer people now than Florida, right?
22:56But Florida's government is half the size of New York's.
23:00Well, Florida's budget is half the size of New York's budget, and Florida has two
23:05to three million more residents as a state.
23:08Two to three million. By the way, there are a lot of states that barely
23:11have two or three million residents.
23:12And as a general rule, how would you say, as a Florida resident, that the
23:17Florida budget and the governance is at running the money that they get, at basically
23:23managing the taxpayer dollars? Everything that involves the state of Florida is more efficient, more
23:30reasonable, more sane compared to New York state -level governance.
23:33Everything. Everything is easier. Everything is smoother.
23:36Everything makes more sense. Miami, things get a little third world down here, but state
23:41of Florida, fantastic. Okay, so building on that, you mentioned this stat earlier, and I
23:47saw it, and my jaw dropped.
23:48It's rare that I see a stat, and I'm like, oh, my, I can't believe
23:51this is real. New York, is it New York City, is spending more money than
23:57the average New Yorker makes on homeless people.
24:00What is this, math, Buck?
24:02$81 ,000 a year, I believe, was the...
24:06So, all of you out there, you worked a long time when not making $81
24:11,000 a year, Buck. I worked a long time not making $81 ,000 a year.
24:15I aspired to $81 ,000.
24:16I was like, oh, my gosh, think about life at 80K.
24:19Yes. This is, by the way, 100 % true.
24:21A lot of you out there are aspiring to life at 80K, right?
24:25That's a lot of money.
24:27That is what New York is spending on homeless people.
24:31And you made this analogy earlier.
24:33How many of you out there listening to us right now in New York are
24:38busting your asses all day long, and you're not making 81K, and you're looking around
24:44and you're saying, wait a minute, what is the state doing that they're providing 81K
24:50a year in support for homeless people?
24:53This is just so flagrantly flawed.
24:57I mean, it would be better off, and this would be an awful idea, but
25:02if the entire government just got out of the way and they just gave $78
25:06,000 in cash, you would save money if you just walked up and gave $78
25:12,000 in cash to every homeless person.
25:14I also, by the way, there's nothing inherently derogatory about the term homeless.
25:21These people clearly don't have homes.
25:23This whole thing about unsheltered now.
25:26Unhoused. Unhoused is now the phrase to.
25:28Unhoused. Unhoused is the other, the same thing.
25:30No, I'm sorry. We're not doing this, okay?
25:32The reason they're doing this is because homelessness and homeless realities across this country, people
25:39have learned more about this.
25:40They've started to understand that almost all of the homeless, the truly homeless population, almost
25:46all have either extreme substance abuse or extreme mental health or a combination of both
25:52issues and disorders. The stories that you hear about a family of four kicked out
26:00of their home, down on their luck, that can happen.
26:03It does happen. I get it.
26:05It is rare, and they don't stay homeless because there are programs and there are,
26:11you know, this notion. Thankfully, I mean, but there are things to help people get
26:16back on their feet, and they tend to do so.
26:19The real homelessness issue is people with severe mental health and severe addiction issues overwhelmingly.
26:25So there's stories about someone lost their job.
26:27They're down on their luck.
26:29One percent of the unhoused or homeless population at any point in time, five percent
26:33maybe. I think that might be too much.
26:36It's people with those problems.
26:37Now, those are human beings who deserve help, too.
26:40I'm not saying otherwise. My point, though, is they're changing the definition, truly, or they're
26:45changing the terms we use of homeless because they don't want people to think about
26:50the discussions about, like Gavin Newsom said, he's going to lower homelessness.
26:53That was a term he was using in California over a 10 -year period.
26:56It's like doubled. Yeah. So they're changing the word so it's like a new problem
27:00now, right? It's like, oh, well, we're not dealing with the homelessness thing, Clay, because
27:03we completely failed. Now we're dealing with the unhoused population.
27:07And here's the other thing.
27:1081 ,000. This is from the comptroller of New York.
27:13This isn't, you know, rightwingangryblogger .net.
27:16or something this is from the comptroller of new york eighty one thousand dollars a
27:20year per homeless person in new york well why are we spending i mean think
27:27about should we just give a check should we give a check for half of
27:30that 40 grand in cash to every homeless person one -time payment there you go
27:34lump sum it would actually cut half of the expenditures to your point and you
27:38know what's a big part of this there are a lot of people who are
27:41doing nothing to actually help homelessness that are being paid a lot of money inside
27:46of that eighty one thousand dollars where you get this is the ugly true this
27:50is the ugliness of it okay we're seeing this my friends some people are going
27:54to really start to pull these dots together i also think this is part of
27:57why elon just with the whole doge thing had kind of a like a thermonuclear
28:02meltdown of there's just so much fraud and so much waste and so much crap
28:06that it was and nobody fixes it unlike in a business where you would have
28:10somebody look at it and say we can't run a business like that we need
28:12that for our country and for our government i think elon was truly just overwhelmed
28:17by the scale of this and in his you know his brain is able to
28:21tackle these things at scale and he's just like this is completely this monster is
28:25a hundred times larger than i even realized anyway a big part of this notice
28:29clay the um uh autistic uh like autistic kids programs the um uh child daycare
28:38somali i'm talking look at the autistic kids thing and that's in uh california i
28:42think they've sort of looked at the spending on these programs has gone absolutely stratospheric
28:47in recent years this is fraud my friends people are being paid a lot of
28:53money to do nothing of public benefit and they're getting taxpayer dollars to do this
28:57and you know why the democrats keep this going it's a giant cash cow for
29:01their constituents who what do you think if you walk into some city funded homelessness
29:06program in new york what do you think the voting record of the people that
29:08are getting checks from the city to run the program what do you think voter
29:12i bet it's 95 99 democrat it's just like the public school systems have become
29:17now clay this is about vote harvesting this is about uh donations this is power
29:22for the democrat party there is a homeless industrial complex now essentially of all these
29:28ngos and bureaucrats getting paid to not actually fix the problem and this is also
29:34ties in with the healthcare system being broken there was a wall street journal editorial
29:39saying 99 of one state i think it was ohio uh of the fraud analysis
29:48it was all fraud 99 i also think again this goes to healthcare nobody knows
29:53what it costs the government funds a ton of it doesn't look at spending there
29:58are people being paid 600 an hour to do autistic rehab that didn't actually have
30:03any kids with autism i also think this ties in with an interesting question we
30:07keep talking about how the number of kids with autism has skyrocketed that's certainly true
30:13how much of the autism diagnoses that we are seeing are completely made up and
30:20a function of being able to make money at four five and six hundred dollars
30:25to do autism therapy i mean some of these companies you saw what happened in
30:31minnesota but i think the same thing is happening in california these companies don't even
30:35have a physical location they have a po box and they're getting paid millions of
30:42dollars a year they're not even pretending just like you saw with the somali day
30:46uh daycares thing remember buck it is interesting no one has come out that i've
30:51seen and said hey my family lost daycare leave aside whether you think the government
30:55should be involved in somali daycares at all if they were actually doing somali daycare
31:02wouldn't tons of people have come out and said oh my goodness the kids daycare
31:06i can't go i can't go to i haven't seen anything about this this was
31:10all a sham and it's a function of government not being uh well run enough
31:17for people to notice where all the money is going it's just it's infuriating for
31:21anybody out there that pays taxes it really is it's it's astonishing and and what
31:27you realize is that and this is a this is a pretty stark realization but
31:32it's true we think about fixing this not only are democrats unwilling to fix it
31:40they don't want it to be fixed yes they believe that this is a redistribution
31:45of wealth to people who should get the money they want homeless administrators on the
31:52on the city you know getting getting their budget paid for by the city by
31:56the taxpayers they want them making three four six hundred grand think about how crazy
32:01it is that new york is spending more money more than eighty one thousand dollars
32:06a year for every homeless person i mean it should be infuriating to every average
32:09household in new york city people who are working people who are showing up and
32:15we've all been there i have showed up to jobs on mornings where i hated
32:19so much i thought i was gonna throw up i mean i'm just like i'm
32:22not making any money this sucks i've we've we've all been but you show up
32:26and you suck it up and you do it you do it for your family
32:29you do it for you know the people around you who are counting on you
32:3280 grand going to every you know spent for every individual homeless person what are
32:38they doing yeah where is all the money think about this how can that be
32:42possible where's all the money going we know what are is the public school system
32:44the public school system in new york pays more than most private schools cost across
32:48the country per pupil you know where the money goes bloated administrators making 150 grand
32:53to show up sit at a desk do nothing all day there are tens of
32:58thousands of them it's crazy how many people don't teach don't do anything and are
33:04just administrators it goes to vice principals of a district there's a vice principal what
33:09like you know in case someone needs to step in for the principal like vice
33:13principals and vice chancellors and all this stuff we're making two three hundred grand to
33:17be working for the public school system of new york or new jersey or any
33:21of these states oh and you can retire after 20 years and you get all
33:25your benefits and everything paid for i mean friends by the way this is also
33:28where all your city taxes and state taxes are going as well and you know
33:31what the game is at the end of all this clay federal bailout it's coming
33:36you get a gavin newsom administration what you think he's going to leave california high
33:40and dry with its budget deficit oh no more they'll just well that's a good
33:44point because thankfully most states have to have balanced budgets but a lot of cities
33:50have ended up going bankrupt and again the federal government doesn't so the buck to
33:55buck's point the bailout goes on the books of the federal government i saw today
33:59we hit 39 trillion national debt the debt the number today now is 39 trillion
34:06and what percentage of that money do you think has been well spent again much
34:15we could strip 75 of all government and be better off i i mean i
34:22think that there's zero doubt about that unfortunately we're not going to do it you
