So as we predicted, the hooligans who have disrupted New York City and Columbia University and NYU, all of these hooligans will not be punished by the state of New York. Now, 228 arrested at this point, probably more, and the cops take them down, and you know what they get? Summases, tickets for trespassing, stuff like that. And then they walk out and they go back to their hooliganism and they don't pay the tickets because they know state of New York, city of New York, not going to do anything to them. And this is an extension of the anarchy that we have in the city. So these kids have no fear of the police. It's fun.

Oh, I got arrested. I went down to the precinct. Oh, I got a ticket and it'll rip the ticket up. And then when they don't pay the ticket, the state of New York, if they can find them, you know, we'll say, oh, you got to pay the ticket. And they'll go, no, I'm not paying it. And that's it. Stay in New York, I can't do anything to them.

So that's why you have a city of anarchy. Now, you can extend this of far worse crimes than disrupting traffic and closing down colleges. You can punch somebody in the face in New York City. nothing will happen to you. Particularly if it's the first time you get caught doing it. You can sell heroin, and nothing will happen to you. They'll take you in, they charge you, but the charges will be dismissed,

unless you're a major weight dealer, and they go right back out and sell heroin again. Heroin can kill somebody, fentanyl can kill somebody. Do they care? No, they being the state legislature, the district attorneys, whatever, they don't care. And that's why we have what we have. That's why people feel unsafe in New York City.

San Francisco, 25% of homeowners in the city limits of San Francisco have their places up for sale. Because they're not safe. Because the city of San Francisco doesn't prosecute you. Do you realize you can steal $950 worth of merchandise in San Francisco and not be charged with a felony? $950.50. You have to go over $1,000. And you're not going to be even charged if you steal $1,000. So is that going to happen in New York City? I think so. We already have commercial real estate disaster here. You've got so many empty office buildings. Can't rent them. As you know, pharmacies, fast food joints, they're closing. Because they're shoplifters, they're moving out.

This is the beginning of the end, unless the voters of New York City and state stop it. It's your fault. You vote left, you vote Democrat in this state or city at this point, then you're saying, oh, I'm okay with it, I'm okay, I don't care, because all the Democrats follow along. There aren't any dissenters in Albany for the Nobel Law? None. The few Republicans that are appalled, that are elected, they're appalled. But in New York City, Adams, you know, not a strong leader, not going to turn it around.

I was hoping he might after de Blasio. De Blasio was a subversive, a communist. He wanted to destroy the structure of New York City, and he succeeded. and doing a tremendous amount of damage. Adams is not that. Adams would like to clean things up, but he's not strong enough. He won't go up against the radical leftists.

And it's apparent now to me. And I gave him a pretty good period of time. But he's not going to solve any problem at all. He's not strong enough to do it. He won't confront the evildoers. And Hokel is the same way. Now, Hockel has more of a sense of that she may get bounced than Adams, because Adams, with the minority vote, is more protected than Hokel.

Hockel almost lost to Zelda. The only reason that Hockel's still in Albany is because the black vote went 90% for her in New York City. And Hockel knows maybe next time around it's not going to be that way. So she might try to do a few things, but, I mean, I'm not going to bet on it. But these protesters and spitting at cops, cursing at cops, shutting down bridges and nothing, nothing happens to them. And that's what you got.
