The Great America Show is back and better than ever! President Trump signs a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the next 75 days, the House of Representatives voted to continue funding the agency for the remainder of President Trump's term, and James Comey is set for his first day in court on May 11th.
00:00:17.900I guess we could start with the House voting to finally fund DHS, ending the 75-day shutdown,
00:00:24.640which the Marxist Dems have prolonged and prolonged and prolonged because, number one,
00:00:29.720They hate America. Number two, they hate law enforcement. Number three, they hate anybody who enforces rules and law and order in this country, which I guess you could put in coordination with with law enforcement.
00:00:43.980But nonetheless, finally passed through and we get now 75 days of in the in the rearview mirror to which we have to now fund this thing permanently, which will be another roadblock ahead.
00:00:55.160James Comey also set for his first day in court, May 11th, on criminal charges of talking about perhaps assassinating the president of the United States.
00:01:05.740This all happens now as federal prosecutors are pursuing a forfeiture action in relation to this charge on Comey,
00:01:13.420to which he'll have to forfeit all the sales profits from his failed book that he decided to sell.
00:01:46.940let's let's do this where do you want to start with today hey let's jump right in on a big win
00:01:52.780for secret service border patrol department of homeland security ice uh amazing news i can't
00:01:59.380believe how long it took to keep our country safe unbelievable yeah the democrats like i say and i
00:02:07.400say this all the time they don't care about us american people so why the hell would they care
00:02:10.940about our border protection agents why would they care about our ice agents i mean you've seen them
00:02:15.520brutalize our isolation specifically for the last year, whether it be doxing them or any way to try
00:02:21.840to put them in harm's way, putting literal bullseyes on their backs and on their fronts.
00:02:27.100But now this is this is a small fix, I guess, a piece of tape over a fracture wound for what
00:02:33.000really has to done. They have to now fund this thing completely. And what the Senate's looking
00:02:37.260at doing now, Steve, is they're looking at funding it through President Trump's term,
00:02:41.320just in case, even though things do look to be getting better now, they lose the Senate and they
00:02:46.720lose the House. They want to fund this thing through to the end. Can John Thune and his rhinos
00:02:52.540give President Trump a win on this? I think they will be able to. John Thune doesn't seem to want0.98
00:02:59.360to give him a win on the Save America Act. But when it comes to Border Patrol and the safety of
00:03:06.500America. John Thune does seem to be on board with that. So I know that, you know, this is
00:03:11.920something that President Trump has been pushing as one of his top priorities. You know, it's so
00:03:19.120obvious why the Democrats were fighting against this. It's the number one threat to their future
00:03:24.880voters. And so, of course, they can't have ICE doing their job. They don't want Border Patrol
00:03:30.780blocking up the border. They don't want Secret Service keeping President Trump and J.D. Vance
00:03:36.460safe. So it just became so obvious. But finally, it just you know, we've got to get back to keeping
00:03:43.260airports safe, the border safe and ICE removing these crazy illegal aliens, murderers, rapists.1.00
00:03:51.140Get them out of here. Yeah. And if that's the case, Stephen, then what do the Democrats want?1.00
00:03:56.840I mean, does the lawfare, I mean, does this lawlessness in America, how do you have lawlessness in America and then go to the to the to the people voting for you and say, listen, things are going to be great under our rule and order vote for us?
00:04:12.500How does nobody call them out on this?
00:04:15.520Well, I don't think that the majority of people are for the Democrat Party.
00:04:21.380I think if we end up losing the midterms, it will be because people didn't show up to vote for Republicans, not because an overwhelming blue wave of hope and joy suddenly swelled up and crashed over the American continent and voted blue.
00:04:37.240I don't I don't believe that for a minute. They're super unpopular. The only thing they're running on and raising money on right now is we will get Trump. We will impeach him. We will stack the courts. We'll, you know, fight tooth and nail to get abortion back and and racial gerrymandering. And so they really have nothing to run on other than Donald Trump is bad and we will get him for you.
00:05:02.160No, it's not Donald Trump, Stephen, get it right. It's the bad orange man. That's who's terrible. He's just a horrible human being. Let's turn to the midterm elections and what's at stake. Axios had a very good piece on it today, breaking down how this new Supreme Court case in which they ruled on this week could reshape the congressional districts for the Republicans.
00:05:24.460the voting rights let's just go through this this piece that they have here because it's
00:05:28.500it's absolutely unbelievable axio says quote if they found that the voting rights act gets stripped
00:05:34.500republicans can secure an extra 27 u.s house seats compared to the 24 maps the 2024 maps
00:05:41.240at least 19 seats would be directly tied to losing of section two which pretty much the supreme court
00:05:47.420said you can't segregate black people into a group. I mean, literally the exact things that
00:05:54.860the Confederates fought for, the Democrats want, okay, where they've segregated groups of black
00:06:03.400people to put them in a voting section, which has now got knocked out, thank God, by the Supreme0.60
00:06:07.980Court. I'm surprised it took this long. They can get 27 seats. That seems almost impossible to lose
00:06:15.760house. Yeah, it's amazing news. Then you couple that with the upcoming 2030 U.S. citizen only
00:06:22.860census. And what we're about to find out is that the United States of America bleeds red.0.73
00:06:28.800We're much more conservative, much more Republican, much more libertarian than most
00:06:34.580people would believe. The Democrat Party, they just keep leaning further and further into the
00:06:40.080toxic left. And I just don't think the American people are going to put up with their radical
00:06:46.440policies for much longer. Do you think that the Democrats are upset that they opened this can of
00:06:52.680worms, the gerrymandering can of worms? Because it's really I think it's woken up a sleeping
00:06:57.860beast in this country. And it's you know what? I got to give credit where credit's due. It's not
00:07:02.740the federal government. It's not John Thune. It's not Mike Johnson. It's these governors of these
00:07:07.360great states. Jeff Landry, who announced today that he's putting the elections on hold right
00:07:11.740now. Well, they redraw their congressional maps because of this racial gerrymandering on behalf0.64
00:07:17.620of the Marxist Dems. It's for governors like Ron DeSantis, who we're going to get to in a little0.51
00:07:22.980bit, who's slowly creeping back into the good graces of America first. It's governors like
00:07:28.480Greg Abbott. But then you've got some rhinos like what's her name? Key Ivy down south, who refuses1.00
00:07:35.700to redraw any congressional maps. She said, that's fine. Let's let's just deal with the fraud.1.00
00:07:40.280Your thoughts? Well, you've got, you know, one of the things that President Trump has been trying
00:07:46.340to teach the Republican Party is you cannot always be polite. There can't always be decorum
00:07:52.640because you are fighting an enemy that doesn't believe in being polite. That does. They they
00:07:57.680literally will do whatever they have to climb over dead bodies if they have to let, you know,0.75
00:08:03.040flood 20 million people into the country if they have to lie on the census, if they have to use
00:08:09.200racism, they're just constantly giving racism CPR. And most people don't don't buy it. But
00:08:15.740you've got other great governors like DeSantis, Landry, others that are there stepping up and
00:08:22.400they're going, wait a minute, if we want to be a country, we've got to move forward and we've got
00:08:27.520to make things fair. I mean, I love the fact that in Virginia, the language was literally
00:08:32.980to make elections fair, we have to give 10 seats to the Democrats and one to the Republican.
00:08:38.080How is that fair in any mathematical equation? So I think the American people are onto that.
00:08:44.760I mean, there's there's close to a dozen states where Republicans have no no representation and
00:08:51.800they have between 30 to 50 percent that voted for Donald Trump. And so I think the Republicans are
00:08:58.040realizing wait a minute we we got out gamed but now it's time to fight fire with fire
00:09:03.400this is the thing is people have got to get loud and i don't mean violent like hakeem jeffries is
00:09:13.980calling for they've got to get loud in the sense where they've got to hold these people
00:09:17.180like kiv accountable and you know what it just brought up i haven't spoke to him in a while but
00:09:21.940the current secretary of state is a friend of mine in alabama west allen is running for lieutenant
00:09:26.680governor i'm going to text him as soon as we get off this show to see if he'll join us on the show
00:09:30.700tomorrow or next week uh to talk about this because there's no i don't even know how to0.99
00:09:38.160say this politely i'm going to try to say it politely uh there's no excuse for stupidity0.83
00:09:42.520i guess is the nicest way to say it uh there i guess there is an excuse for ignorance uh in0.97
00:09:48.300governor ivy's um um position but she knows there's fraud and she knows that there's racially
00:09:55.060gerrymandered districts in her state so she should do the right thing and say enough is enough and i0.98
00:10:01.620don't know if it's because she's scared of the democrats i don't know if she's it's because
00:10:04.300she's 81 years old which is nothing wrong with that but you shouldn't be in government anymore
00:10:08.080i was talking with roger stone about this yesterday i'm tired steve i'm tired of people
00:10:12.840running for office and dying in office i'm tired of it like so beyond it it's embarrassing as heck
00:10:19.800seeing these people walk around with walkers and canes like i said not that there's anything wrong
00:10:24.940with it. It's going to be me one day, and it's going to be you one day. It is what it is. But
00:10:28.780you and I are going to get the sense where it's time to throw in the towel. I'm not going to be
00:10:32.720on YouTube anymore. I'm not going to be on Rumble anymore. I'm not going to be on this anymore.
00:10:36.060And I'm going to go off into the sunset. But these people use it as literally
00:10:40.200a nursing home, and it's embarrassing.
00:10:44.100It is embarrassing. And it's time for younger0.97
00:10:52.120know from doing consulting for many, many years, it's really hard to unseat an incumbent, even if
00:10:58.260they're old, people just wreck it. Like, look at look at Mitch McConnell. He hasn't done much good
00:11:04.180in the last 10 years, but people knew his name. And then and then he got an endorsement and then
00:11:09.160he betrayed Trump, but he was already in. And so it's unfortunate. But yeah, we've got to start
00:11:15.080turning over the rhinos turning over the old and come in with the new yeah you mentioned my gig
00:11:22.920which i've been consulting for years now as you mentioned i'd much rather someone come to me who's
00:11:27.280new and looking to run for office it's so much easier to form a candidate and to make someone
00:11:31.420formidable to run for office who isn't isn't privy to the corruption whereas vice versa it's
00:11:38.060literally like a world of a difference let's talk about hakeem giggle gangster hakeem a brooklyn
00:11:44.280Democrat, Obama-like, they call him Timo Obama, many different names for him, with his little,0.90
00:11:51.040you know, sick gangster talk, literally an assassination attempt again on President Trump0.87
00:11:56.340this Saturday, and Hakeem is still going. In the new Congress, we're going to have to do something
00:12:00.140about this Supreme Court, and let me be very clear, everything is on the table, everything
00:12:05.980to deal with this corrupt MAGA majority that is issuing political opinions that are designed
00:12:14.300to bolster the prospects of the Republican Party, and we will not allow them to succeed.
00:12:21.180Heard my dogs there in the background. They agree. Leader Jeffries, thanks as always. Appreciate you.
00:12:26.580Nobody's scared of you, Hakeem. It's so funny. Let me be clear. It's like the preface to everything
00:12:31.360he says. It's like someone saying butt in between every sentence. Your thoughts on this numbskull?
00:12:35.980You know, I think right now he understands that there's no leadership in the Democrat Party.
00:12:44.120Chuck Schumer is most likely going to be out. Nancy Pelosi is on her way out.
00:12:49.200I think he sees this as an opportunity to maybe come in as the next Obama.
00:12:54.100But he's got he's got to be tough. He knows he's not as articulate or intelligent.
00:12:59.860And so he's now using tough guy language and maybe he's trying to take a page out of the old Trump book, which is you've got to be an alpha male and you've got to be strong and keep your word.0.54
00:13:12.080But it just it kind of looks ridiculous on him, if I'm if I'm being honest.
00:13:15.820that's so funny that you use the word alpha male and hakeem and obama in the same sentence i mean
00:13:20.700they can't be further from the truth uh i say this all the time steven and some people push back on0.95
00:13:26.160me but i speak from a from a perspective of truth and an opinion obama was not a stupid man by no0.98
00:13:32.260stretch of the imagination deceitful scummy uh low life yes and i say the same thing about hillary1.00
00:13:38.480clinton they're they're career politicians by no stretch of the imagination are these people stupid1.00
00:13:42.680but Obama, Hillary, Rotten, Clinton, and there are some other ones.1.00
00:14:17.580Take a listen to what he had to say about Hakeem and the mockery he's made him.
00:14:22.840We're going to do maximum warfare against Republicans, Florida Republicans, UF around.
00:14:30.300You're going to find out all this stuff.
00:14:32.880And, you know, what I said was, listen, oh, if you do the redistricting, we're going to take out all your members.
00:14:41.460We're going to do all this stuff. And what I said was, go ahead, make my day.
00:14:47.180You don't think we're going to. You want to come down here and spend money and in Florida, roll the dice and take your chances.
00:14:58.360But don't think that you can come down here, issue threats to us and somehow you're going to make us flinch.
00:15:05.240That is not happening. And in fact, it did not happen because as soon as he came out and started doing that last week, Florida legislature turned around and they passed a new map.
00:15:19.820What do you think? I thought his his mockery of Hakeem was absolutely brilliant.
00:15:24.960It's probably got a little Hakeem very upset.
00:15:28.880I've always liked Ron DeSantis, even when people were giving him a hard time for running for president.
00:15:33.820Yeah, he should have sat it out, let Trump come in. They've mended their, you know, broken fences, as they say. But, you know, I think Hakeem Jeffries, he's going to find out that the Republican Party is full of fighters.
00:15:49.180We've got a good bench of leadership. You know, he can say all that he wants.
00:15:54.340He can throw out the race card, the unfair card, the Trump is bad card.
00:15:59.400It all just bounces off us these days. And so I think what they're doing in Virginia, fighting what they're doing in Texas, what they're doing in Florida, now Louisiana, I think it's going to pay off.
00:16:12.840But, you know, this this case that was ruled on this week by the Supreme Court in the last seven days was just brilliant.
00:16:22.580And it just goes to show that they were taking advantage of us for all of these years.
00:16:28.560When the census is done, we're going to find out they were taking advantage of us all of these years.
00:16:33.300So I think it's great. I think, you know, Trump needs to just continue to focus on getting prices down,
00:16:40.060getting illegal murderers out of the country, keeping the border shut.
00:16:44.040I mean, just having the border shut for the next four years, eight years, 12 years,
00:16:49.000it's going to completely wreck the Democrat Party.
00:17:20.780Let's talk about President Trump talking about this afternoon, renewing his call to get rid of the filibuster, which he's been doing since October.
00:17:28.840Oh, my God. My my New York accent just came out there and I never does.
00:17:32.720october um president trump writing on truth social quote how much abuse can the republican
00:17:39.560senate take from the radical left lunatics in the form of democratic senators before they blow up
00:17:45.260terminate the filibuster and approve things at a record clip including the save america act that
00:17:50.460would be unthinkable without the filibuster he wrote the dems will do it in the first hour of0.98
00:17:55.760the first day don't be stupid now why is he taking the truth to social or twitter or whatever he1.00
00:18:01.560wants to post on to do that. Why doesn't President Trump pick up the phone and get Senator Thune on1.00
00:18:06.500the phone and say, get this done or get out? I mean, maybe he believes that if enough of the
00:18:14.800American people are reaching out to John Thune, it will have a greater effect than a phone call
00:18:19.520from the president. I don't know. I've had my audience call him by the thousands. I don't know
00:18:25.000how much good it does, but at least it makes me feel like I'm doing something. But, you know,
00:18:29.760I hope that he'll continue to harp on this. I mean, I'm not opposed to 27 Republicans calling
00:18:35.060a no vote of confidence against John Thune and replacing him with someone else. I've never liked
00:18:39.860John Thune. I've always felt like he rode the coattails of Mitch McConnell, who I also dislike
00:18:45.260very much. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. But I mean, this this Supreme Court
00:18:51.120thing is a big deal, massive deal. But getting the Save America Act passed would also just be an
00:18:58.380earthquake that I don't know that the Democrat Party can handle. Do you have a number that you
00:19:03.060care to share for our audience to give Senator Thune's office a call? I'll look it up while
00:19:10.660you ask something else. Oh, there it is. Yeah, we encourage you. We're not doxing. It's his
00:19:17.620public phone number that's on his website to call his office. 202-224-2321. 202-224-2321.
00:19:26.740As someone who's worked in congressional offices before, folks, these senators, they know what's going on.
00:19:34.860They hear the phones ringing and they ask their staff what's going on over there and they tell them.
00:19:41.600So call the call the the office folks. Let them know what you want.
00:19:46.560We pay their salary. They work for us. They're they're in no world superior or inferior to each and every single one of us.
00:19:54.160We pay their salaries. We're the ones who put them there. Let's tell them that they shouldn't
00:19:58.640be comfortable in that position much longer if they don't get on the side of truth, justice and
00:20:03.960the American way and get on the side of the American people. Let's turn to someone who's
00:20:08.600not on the side of truth, justice and the American way and the side of the American people. And no,
00:20:13.420I'm not talking about James Comey. We're going to get to him. Congressman Seth Moulton pretty
00:20:19.740much calling for, or is it Senator Moulton, calling for Pete Hegseth to be executed.
00:20:27.420Do you believe that the Secretary of Defense is guilty of war crimes?
00:20:33.160Absolutely. I mean, he's clearly behind the operation to shoot all these boats in the
00:20:37.420Caribbean when it's very unclear that we actually have any confirmation that these so-called
00:20:42.260narco-terrorists, a term the administration invented to justify this action, are even on
00:20:47.700the boats. I mean, in fact, there's a lot of evidence that these are just fishermen, you know,
00:20:52.380getting jobs, piloting these boats, trying to feed their families. There's been press reporting on
00:20:58.480some of these individuals who have been killed, who are clearly not war criminals. And on top of
00:21:04.760that, we then have the strike where they came back and hit it again, a double tap, just purely0.55
00:21:12.020to kill these survivors who were clinging to wreckage. You know, it's interesting, Aaron,
00:21:16.420And another historical analogy, back in World War II, the Allies tried Nazi submarine captains for doing this exact same thing.
00:21:30.620Oh, Congressman Moulton, big tough guy.
00:21:33.840But I don't know what I'm more surprised at, his tough guy personality or the fact that he said that these were just fishermen who were driving these boats.
00:21:44.400I don't know which one's more surprising.0.95
00:21:46.420I mean, my understanding is that before anybody pulls the trigger on any of these narco terrorist0.85
00:21:52.980boats that I mean, this has to go through JAG. It gets run up to the highest levels. Attorneys0.80
00:21:59.020are figuring everything out. They've been tracking them from harbor out to the sea or from one boat
00:22:04.780to another. All of these have these big bundles of stuff. They're finding drug paraphernalia
00:22:10.540in the wreckage. But for him to openly call for the secretary of the Department of War
00:22:16.660to be executed, that that's pretty bold. That's pretty over the line. I don't know. I mean,
00:22:23.040I see a lot of Democrats that I believe have committed treason. I don't think that they're
00:22:28.000actually going to swing from a rope. But, you know, calling for that on national live TV on CNN
00:22:34.500seemed very inappropriate. I mean, a former president of the United States, in my opinion,
00:22:39.200You know, he's committed treason in Barack Hussein Obama.
00:22:44.080It's truly mortifying that these people, Stephen, are the ones who are running our country, who are making the decisions.
00:22:55.560Let's turn to James Comey, who today found out his criminal court first court hearing in Greenville, North Carolina,
00:23:03.480will be on may 11th where he's facing uh uh counts on the 86 47 post against president trump count
00:23:11.800one is knowingly and willfully making a threat to take the live and elicit uh bodily harm upon
00:23:17.200the president united states count two is knowingly and willingly uh transmitting an interstate foreign
00:23:22.320commerce communication that carried a threat to kill president donald j trump um it's nice to see
00:23:27.900that comey's being held accountable but we find out today that todd blanche is not happy with that
00:23:33.660he wants more to which they're looking at more charges down in the i guess it's the eastern
00:23:39.060district of virginia yeah um my my well so i'm hearing two different sides to this some are
00:23:46.240saying uh you know this is going to be thrown out because 86 47 uh you know did he actually
00:23:53.880try to take out the president or is this just a clever artwork threat? But what they're saying is
00:23:59.920if they start digging into emails, text messages, Instagram, you know, some of the other
00:24:07.260communications and there are threats behind it, well, then you'll know that it was more than just
00:24:12.340a clever photo. But what's happening in Virginia, I think is great. I think that he needs to be
00:24:19.680held accountable. What's happening in South Florida under Judge Eileen Cannon, I think is
00:24:24.940great. These people made life for America hell. They made life for the Trump family hell.
00:24:32.240We voted him in. We deserve to get the president that we voted for. And they robbed us of all of
00:24:37.360the good time that they could have had. And then they used COVID as a cover up for mail-in ballots.
00:24:42.800I mean, it goes on and on. I feel like the timeline broke and we ended up on the
00:24:49.640bad timeline for a while. It has to be made right. He has to be held accountable. You know,
00:24:55.480at the end of the day, a jury is going to have to decide what he did, but he should at least go
00:25:00.100through the court process. Yeah, 100 percent. And federal prosecutors even go taking one step
00:25:05.240further. They're looking at reportedly seizing James Comey's book sale profits after being
00:25:11.720indicted on these counts. Justice Department issued a forfeiture notice because prosecutors
00:25:16.480believe that comey posted the 8647 threat to help with the sales of his forthcoming book
00:25:21.860red verdict so this is i i think ultimately where you have to hit people and it's what they did to
00:25:28.160roger stone it's what they did to paul manafort they hit you in your pocket and they level you
00:25:32.800and they level you and they keep chipping away because the government has unlimited money i
00:25:36.280don't know if you know this but the government prints money they actually give it out for free
00:25:39.600if you live in ukraine um but the government prints money so they have unlimited money to
00:25:44.560You just go after anybody. And one person once told me someone who's indicted by the federal government for a total bullshit crime, who was actually pardoned by President Trump, that they will go and they will go until they bleed you dry.0.97
00:25:57.920And eventually they'll get a guilty plea out of you or some sort of plea, even if it means no jail time, just to know that they bled you dry and that you're a convicted felon.0.90
00:26:09.020And I think it's time that this starts happening now to some of these people who did it to other people as victims.
00:26:15.860Yeah. Look how many January six grandmas they hit with a felony and then they forced them to plead guilty in exchange for a misdemeanor.
00:26:24.080But in the meantime, people had their lives ruined. They lost jobs.
00:26:28.320I mean, yeah, the government can be really, really nasty.
00:26:31.400And yet it does seem to, you know, as Don Jr. said, there's something called liberal privilege where liberals have been getting away with stuff that Republicans couldn't.
00:26:41.960And it's just time. It needs to be one form of government, not a two tier justice system.
00:26:47.640Steve, let's turn to New York City. A few months ago, you, myself and your wife had lunch in New York and your wife couldn't stop talking about how much she loved New York.
00:26:57.880And I was sitting there thinking, what's wrong with this woman?0.95
00:27:00.060Does she not realize this place is a total dump?0.89
00:27:03.960We further that news today, Stephen, with Communist Mayor Zohra Mamdani0.61
00:27:08.680is already running out of other people's money just three months after being sworn in0.56
00:27:13.820and a campaign full of promises for free this, free that.
00:27:17.480Mamdani has declared that the city is in a budget crisis,
00:27:20.880which he claims is at a historic magnitude.
00:27:23.180He said the city now needs new forms of revenue, which translates, of course, to new taxes.
00:27:29.340And he wants a bailout for the state from the federal government and from the state.
00:27:34.720They're already running one hundred and twenty billion dollar annual budget, which I'd say probably five or ten percent goes to illegals, if not more.
00:27:45.060Should the federal government, should President Trump, should the state of New York tell him to go to H.E.
00:27:50.540double hockey stick i i think that they should say we will give you the money after you go through
00:27:56.600the entire doge process we need to go in and find out where all of the money is going all the all
00:28:04.000the scams you think it's bad in minnesota you think it's bad in los angeles california i guarantee
00:28:10.720you the fraud in new york city is off the charts like you said uh massive amounts billions and1.00
00:28:17.480billions of dollars to illegals, stupid program. I mean, like the shoveling program that he paid1.00
00:28:25.000for that you had to have ID. They're like, hey, everybody show up. You'll make 20, 25 bucks an
00:28:30.260hour. There were literally like 100 people standing around and seven of them were shoveling
00:28:34.980and they all got paid like such a waste of money. So I think you clean up the waste, the fraud and
00:28:41.640the abuse. And suddenly you don't have one hundred and twenty billion dollars. You don't probably
00:28:45.820have to raise taxes you do have to deport a lot of people and make the city honest again that's
00:28:51.660not what he's after that's not who put him in although i am reading a lot of people are mad
00:28:56.560at him because they're saying hey wait a minute you're gonna raise taxes on me and i have property
00:29:01.520i'm not rich but i have a property so now he's gonna be taxing the very people that put him in
00:29:06.580office not even that when are we getting all this for you're not a new yorker but it's you know
00:30:55.760I love a luxury life, a pretty normal life.
00:30:58.220and I just paid perhaps the biggest tax bill I've ever paid in my life about two weeks ago.
00:31:03.720I'm just I'm so tired of it. Part of me is every time I go to pay tax every year,
00:31:07.620I'm like, what happens if I just don't pay these? It's like you and I in our line of work,
00:31:12.680we don't get payroll deduction every week. Right. So we don't get a paycheck where they've already
00:31:16.960taken out that they take it out of the check in yours and eyes line of work. Stephen,
00:31:21.160there comes a time four times a year where it's like, all right, this is what you made.
00:31:25.760now you owe this much money you're like whoa whoa wait wait that money's already gone like
00:31:29.300what you know what are we doing here it's it's a far opener anyone who works for themselves
00:31:34.040knows the pain i'm talking about it's like you get a paycheck that's untaxed and then
00:31:39.040four months later you've got to pay the tax on there and you're like oh goodness what the heck
00:31:43.700did i do here it's it's horrible and it's it's even worse living in new york where you pay
00:31:48.840new york city tax where you pay state tax then you pay federal government and you pay property tax
00:31:53.620And before it's all said and done, Stephen, you paid more than 50 percent of your money away.
00:31:57.760And what do you have to show for streets that are not drivable?
00:32:01.620I mean, I literally had to go out and buy a Jeep Wrangler because I was tired of going through car rims and tires.
00:32:07.360You got streets that are you got streets that aren't safe.
00:32:10.380It's just not it's just not practical.
00:32:14.920And the numbers just don't add up. You get the last word here, my friend.
00:32:19.320Well, I'm glad to know you and I both have a Jeep.
00:32:21.980Um, so yeah, uh, New York, uh, there everywhere needs to be doged, but these, these blue cities
00:32:31.100like New York city, when I was there, we had a great time on Broadway.
00:32:35.540Um, but I was looking around going, there's no way on planet earth.
00:32:40.000Most of the people I'm seeing that are working can afford to live here.
00:32:43.720Um, it's, it was a bizarre city to me, but, uh, I, I hope that it will get cleaned up.
00:32:49.240I hope that they don't just hand him a bailout because he made a lot of broken promises and he needs to be held accountable for those.
00:32:57.020Yeah, folks, where Stephen's from, they don't have people just pulling down their pants, squatting and pooping on the street, which I'm kind of upset Stephen didn't get to witness because I've gotten to witness it far too many times that I've ever wanted to.
00:33:09.540They don't have people sitting on street corners, injecting heroin into that.
