So that was kind of nice because I did get to see a lot of suburban families
00:01:27.860
and nice neighborhoods taking their kids around.
00:01:30.620
But I did have to go into the city a couple of times, and oof, ah, oof.
00:01:43.500
Nothing better than coming into LaGuardia, looking out the window at the big city,
00:01:56.940
And it just seems like that's every single time I come into New York.
00:02:13.260
And then, you know, you find out what's happening down there on the streets below,
00:02:20.600
flooding uh there was i don't even know what it was i i don't think it was a nor'easter
00:02:27.680
it certainly wasn't a hurricane and you know you when when those things are approaching new york
00:02:33.760
for a week before you'll hear the weather guy talking about uh you know prepare get out there
00:02:41.200
and and uh buy your your bottled water and bread and eggs and you know that that hacky bit but uh
00:02:52.640
No one really talked about this like it was a storm that was going to cause any problems until the last minute.
00:02:59.940
And I think it caught a lot of people with their pants down.
00:03:16.600
he was uh he drowned inside his flooded basement trying to get his dog you know a noble effort
00:03:24.120
but uh you got those basement apartments in new york city they're gonna flood you know you might
00:03:32.820
want to take some early precautions and i don't think they flood immediately i know i never get
00:03:39.900
that with people where something doesn't happen immediately but they just kind of sit there and
00:03:47.620
But out of the circumstances, just a terrible story there.
00:04:11.280
I think it's even beyond the help of, you know, for lack of a better term, the leadership, right?
00:04:19.920
You know, your governors and mayors and senators and Congress people.
00:04:29.100
But any other system in a city that is over 100, some of it way over 100 years old, should just be in a museum.
00:04:47.300
And this is part of the New York City infrastructure.
00:04:50.200
sewers that are well over a hundred years old and uh you know they're they're kind of crumbling
00:04:59.640
coming apart at the seams and they have been for a while and this isn't new we've seen
00:05:05.680
these stories happen for many years uh you know the roads that are going to be flooded
00:05:12.860
and, you know, that on the east side, the FDR drive, good luck.
00:05:21.820
I was taking an Uber and was supposed to go up the FDR,
00:05:25.200
and it's just like very flooded, very flooded, my friend.
00:05:33.140
What am I, your GPS, your Waze, your Google map?
00:05:48.680
Drive me where I want to get without driving us into a lake
00:05:59.320
The same street, so it's not like it's surprise,
00:06:03.280
surprise mayor, surprise governor, surprise congressman or senator.
00:06:34.560
you know the Democrats have been in charge and we just
00:06:38.440
see this happen again and again and again nothing gets fixed and then you have you know the savior
00:06:45.800
of new york city zorn memdani talking about 700 million dollars for free buses that
00:06:56.220
that deserves like a smack in the head i'm gonna i'm gonna make buses fast and free
00:07:04.340
it'll be 700 million dollars but i'm gonna tax the ow get your head on straight what are you
00:07:14.140
talking about did you see the flooding in the city yeah but i free buses we need infrastructure
0.98
00:07:24.180
sure that's how cities work you know crap goes in you got to get the crap out that's how it works
0.89
00:07:34.420
and when it rains you got to figure out where to put the water and the same with the snow
0.95
00:07:39.400
and the electricity has to get from the power plant to the people and it's a whole thing of
00:07:45.980
just making stuff work and if anyone is under the delusion that it's working
00:07:55.260
you got some serious issues you don't want to see the truth you're lying about it so for your
00:08:02.940
you know pretty much mayor he's pretty much your mayor now uh zorn mandani coming up with a
00:08:38.880
real uh construction firm people that know what they're doing about infrastructure and you pay
00:08:45.260
them to fix things doesn't that sound like the way a city should run doesn't that absolutely
00:08:53.120
sound like something a leader a mayor or governor or someone would would talk about not free buses
00:09:07.860
Oh, the bus couldn't get through because, you know, all of Queens is underwater.
00:09:17.820
Why don't you fix the fact that the roads flood when it rains?
00:09:23.020
They just cannot prioritize because that's not sexy.
00:09:28.900
That doesn't appeal to the constituent mindset.
00:09:37.440
The people running for office, if they go say, well, we're going to make sure that the flood water from the rain actually drains as the rain's coming down.
00:09:52.040
Well, not a flooded basement, not roads that you cannot drive through or over because it's flooded.
00:10:03.120
I could make a left there and I could avoid that whole area and then I'll do this.
00:10:11.480
So, you know, the politicians, of course, are to blame, but the people are also to blame.
00:10:16.880
they're voting in these people that just cannot see the real problems when you travel well
