A lot of people are very upset about what has happened to New York City because, like me, they remember the way it used to be. And now, today, it is so much worse that you're going, what the deuce happened. So I'm going to explain what the deuce happened to you before we get to the body of the main program. And we're dealing with two very intense stories. We're dealing with military action against Iran. That's common. and we're dealing with a new border bill. That's coming.

We're going to cover both of those in a very extensive way tonight. But in New York City right now, there are 51 council districts across the five boroughs. Okay? Forty-five of them are held by Democrats, just six. I think they're all in Staten Island or most, are held by Republicans. So the 45 Democrats on the New York City Council, many of them, probably most, are radicals. Okay? Now, I've got to be careful how I word this, but I have to tell you the truth.

Not all New Yorkers look at life in the same way. We're not united in this city at all. Got an unbelievable disparity of wealth. You get the richest people in the world living here and the poorest people in the United States. I mean, you know, you're not going to rival India in poverty, but if you go to certain neighborhoods in New York City, these people are destitute. I mean, these are the people who vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, the socialist communist candidates. In addition, you have the color factor. So the African-American community is united in New York City under the banner of we do not get a fair shake.

Overwhelmingly, black New Yorkers do not believe they are treated fairly by their city, state, or federal government. and you go anywhere you want and you'll see it. Not everybody, but I'd say 80%. And when it comes to policing, that really comes out because most black people have had a negative experience with a white police officer or even a black police officer. Because the rate of crime is so much higher in the black neighborhoods And there are so many more black victims of crime, okay, that the police are much more suspicious

in those precincts. And so, personal experience means a lot. And many of those people who have not been treated well by the police vote for the most radical anti-police candidates they can. Now, they're hurting themselves, of course, because the crime rate in the minority neighborhoods, not just black, are far higher than Park Avenue or Fifth Avenue or Soho. And if you weaken the police structure, you're going to have more crime in those poor neighborhoods. But because people are so emotional about this, talking to a African-American

friend of mine for decades, and she is very successful, very successful in America. And she loves her country. But she was telling me a story where she was in a high-end store and being followed around by people. Boy, she was angry. And it happened a while back, she was still smoking. You know, and I'm sitting there, I don't have that experience. I know when I'm treated unfairly, I don't react well. I don't. And I remember.

So, when you have a structure where 45 out of 51 city council people have a negative attitude toward the so-called white patriarchy. Whoa, and we're seeing it right now. It's a shame, but that is the explanation, and you should know it.
