So today, we got a job approval poll out of Sienna College on Governor Hokele. So her numbers are going down. That's not a surprise. Down around 41% job approval. Probably going to the 30s with this migrant spending now, which is, you know, what do we got? 53 million in New York City alone? That they're going to give money? to foreign nationals who shouldn't even be here, you know, who's going to pay that?

Working New Yorkers are going to have to pay it. You know, this whole congestion pricing, this is just a big tax. That's what this is. 25 mile an hour speed limit with cameras everywhere in New York City, that's a tax. They're trapping you so they can get money. And you're going to see it all fees. everything, everything, every interaction you have with the city or state of New York, going to cost you more, and they try to raise income taxes and sales taxes.

They have to because they're bankrupt. So that's number one on Hokel. Hogle's presiding over a huge deficit in the spending department, not discipline, waste, incredible, incredible. And just look at the roads and the congestion on the roads. You know, they say, oh, no, congestion prices are going to hell. No, it's not. It's going to make it worse.

You know how much it is to cost, you know how much it costs to park your automobile in New York now? I mean, if you drive in at night and you want to see a show or a sporting event or whatever it may be, you're looking at $75, $80. Easy. easy and look at the tax how much tax is attached to that tax tax tax tax by bye so hoagos down a 41 i you know if the election were held tomorrow between zeldon and hoko i think zeldon would beat her now a year under her belt with all the migrant stuff i think zeldon would win not positive about that. Now, along with this job approval comes what New Yorkers are most concerned about. Cost of living, 29%. That's number one. Obviously, you're trying to raise a family, trying to buy a

house. This is outside of California, the worst state in a union to do that. Second is a migrant influx. Everybody got it. We are now a tremendous well. welfare state for the entire world, not just the country. Okay, third is crime. 15% of the state is worried about crime. Now, that number would be much higher if it was just a New York City poll. Because city crime, and we do look at the subway stats, violent crime up 20% in the subways.

You can't. You can't sustain this. You cannot sustain this. And if you don't punish criminals, this is going to continue. And they're not. They're not. Because back to Hockel, Hockel could have vetoed that no bail law. And she could knock it out now with an executive order.

She could pause it. No. Okay, next one is affordable housing. You know, affordable housing. If in New York, that's never going to happen. unless you want to live in a tenement. So I walked by a huge public housing complex in the Bronx on Sunday. And I just said myself, I don't know how people live here.

I don't know how they do it. Who are me? I'd be gone. I'd go to Kentucky. I go anywhere rather than live there. And then health care, okay, out migration, only 4% of New York is care that hundreds of thousands of people are leaving. I guess that makes sense. What do you care whether Sally down the street is going to Florida? Maybe you like Sally, I don't know. So, so far in 24, I'll just give you one more stat, police have made 2,500 arrests in the subway, compared to 1,800 at this time last year. So you could see. Subway, Subway,

crime out of control. We need some big leadership, tough leadership, and I mean that word literally, T-O-U-G-H, tough leadership.
