So I have analyzed both Long Island and New York City for voting patterns. And I can tell you Long Island, 3 million plus, and New York City, 8.5 million, are far, far apart. The truth is that Nassau and Suffolk counties are going more conservative. used to be a pretty blue area. Now it's red, both counties. In the city, it was always liberal. But that's changed as well. Now it's socialist. New York city voters, the majority of them either approve or are socialist. They don't want capitalism. They don't want order. They don't want an effective city government that promotes law and order or stops disorder.

They don't want it. Now, I'm not a psychiatrist. I can't go in and tell you why people want socialism when it. it has never worked anywhere in the world that it's been imposed anywhere. It has always failed. And what's come of socialism are two things. Poverty and oppression. They go hand in hand.

Look, you don't believe me? Go to Nicaragua. You can get a flight there. Go on down there. Take a look. fly from New York to Managua. Get off the plane. There are a couple of decent hotels in town, not many.

Walk around. That's socialism. You can't go to Havana anymore. You have to fly through Canada because of sanctions that have been reimposed that Biden didn't really take off. Interestingly enough, Trump put him on. But if you could, and I've been to Cuba, you would see unbelievable poverty, and that place has been communist, socialist communist,

since 1959. I mean, look, it's not a matter of debate, but the people in New York City, the working poor and the poor poor who don't work, they want a government to, quote unquote, provide. the police department is racist, they want it torn down. They believe they don't have a chance in life, that they have to live in a ghetto in a shabby apartment. They don't believe in education. I'm generalizing now.

But if you look at the truancy level of kids in New York City public schools, it's shocking. We're to parents. Not around. Not making the kids go to school. Anyway, the prevailing wisdom in New York City now is socialism. Ocasio-Cortez is a hero in her Queens-Bronx district. They love her.

And she destroyed a job, once in a lifetime, job creating opportunity with the Amazon plant. that was supposed to go into Long Island City. Cassio says it blew it up. Oh, Corrupt. Corporations are corrupt. Corporations are the bad. Oh, can't have it. That would have employed 2,000 people at least.

Plus all the bodegas and delis and pizza joints and everything else around it would have prospered. No. This is what New York City is electing time after time after time after time. Now, there are exceptions, like Bayside, Little Neck, Dougleston, and Queens. Okay, there are, because the more skin you have in the game, the more property you have, the more savings you have, the less socialist you're going to be. It's the have-nots that are embracing the socialism, which has turned New York City around in a very negative way. I'll stand by that analysis all day long.

Thank you.
