Kathy Ogle, the governor of this state, came out with her 2025 executive budget. Record-breaking spending, what a shock, right? $233 billion. Whoa! That's why New York is the highest tax state in the Union. No fiscal discipline. And to boost. boot, our infrastructure's falling apart.

Roads of bad, cities falling apart. Come on. Two million rats in New York City? Two million estimated. And we're paying $233 billion a year to Albany. That's what they're spending. Population can't keep up. That's why hundreds of thousands of people are leaving New York State.

can't do it. People earn a certain amount of money and the government has taken the money and taken the money and taken the money away from us to spend $2.4 billion to manage the migrant crisis. $2.4 billion to manage the migrant crisis. It was responsible for that. Joe Biden is. Do you hear that from Albany? Do you hear that from Kathy Ogle? No. Now, we just tax the people working in upstate New York, working on Long Island. Just tax them more. All right, the latest ruse is they got cameras everywhere. If you go six miles over the speed limit, they get a hundred dollar ticket. What do you think that it's all about?

Okay. They will gut you, they be in Albany, on everything. Register your car. You've got to have this, you've got to have that. Anything you want to do in this state, you got to pay a tax. Sales tax, more than 8%. And that's going to go up. You wait and see.

So people are going, I can't afford it. Can't live here anymore. Got to leave. And O'Gill go, oh, yeah, okay. 2.4 billion to manage the migrant crisis. Can you imagine that? Under Trump, there was nothing. Nothing.

There was no budget to manage. manage the migrant crisis. Just not alone. But Biden, yeah, come on in. Does Biden care about you? Does he care about your wallet? Care about your family? No.

So Hockel knows that she's in real risky territory here. So she says, well, we're not going to have an income tax rise. Okay. She's got to stick to that now, by the way. So New York State has an income tax, a big one. Florida does not, Texas does not, Tennessee does not. We have a huge income tax, huge sales tax, federal government has a huge income tax, add it up. So I'm sitting here, I'm going, they are making it so difficult for working class people to get ahead, to educate their children,

to have a modicum of comfort, to save for their retirement. All of this, you are squeezing us to death, so you can get $2.4 billion to manage the migrant crisis caused by a president that you endorse. My God. You know, and this applies to Democrats across the board. I'm not a partisan guy. Tomorrow we're going to have the woman running for Congress, Sir Santos's place.

Maisie Philip here on the program. She hasn't done many interviews, so I'm looking forward to talking with her. Excuse me. Still have this annoying cold. I don't have a flip here. in my studio at the house. You have a flip in a big studio in New York where you can just, when you cough, you flip it

so they won't hear their cough. I don't have that. I'm sorry to do that for you. So anyway, look, you're going to keep voting Democrat. Eventually, everybody's got to leave the state. That's just the way it's going to have to be. If you want to advance, because it just, it's crazy.
