Zohran Mamdani as He is Forced to Beg Rich People Not to Leave

It's also something not just about

justice or or the ability for

working-class people to live here. It is

also actually about ensuring that

corporations can continue to attract the

top talent to this city.

>> Zorhan Mandani, the communist/Islamist

who's running the place, uh he gave this

press conference yesterday and it was

almost like this this almost felt like

AI because it is so it was so obvious

this is going to happen that I don't

know how you ding-dongs didn't believe

that it was going to happen. But here he

is saying that the wealthy still have to

pay more because the mid-level wealthy

people, they're getting the hell out of

there. So, uh, he's going to have to

take from you guys and then you'll get

out, too. And well, you get how this all

works out. Go.

>> Amidst being in the wealthiest city and

the wealthiest country in the history of

the world, we already see an exodus of

working and middle class New Yorkers. So

I don't have a hesitation in asking

those who make the most amount of money

in this city or the most profits in the

city to pay a little bit more so that

everyone can actually stay in this city.

It's also something not just about

justice or or the ability for

working-class people to live here. It is

also actually about ensuring that

corporations can continue to attract the

top talent to this city. Because in a

city where child care costs more than

$20,000 a year, I've heard from

corporate leaders about how difficult it

is for them to attract individuals who

would work at their companies but want

to raise a family. Unbelievable. It's

unbelievable and it's obvious, right?

It's like, dude, the exodus is because

of you. You are taxing these people to

the nth degree, making the people who

produce leave, thus leaving the tax

burden on the next layer of people, and

then you're complaining about that. It's

also interesting how he uses the word

asking. I'm asking those who can afford

it to pay more. But you're not really

asking. You're demanding. If taxes were

just about asking, well, could you just

pay a little bit more? Well, then that

would be interesting to see what people

pay. But taxes are not voluntary. They

are uh forced upon you, right? If you

don't pay them, you will end up in jail.

So, you have done this. Also, as per

$20,000

for uh child care. Well, the question

really is, does that all fall on the

state and city then to provide or is it

that families should plan accordingly

and maybe you should have grandma around

or Nona or whoever it is and perhaps you

want to create the economic conditions

of low taxes and low regulations so

there's more fluidity in the system so

more there's more competition that

lowers the cost of everything but I know

that would be a bit much for you.

>> What if the reason you feel off has to

do with what's missing from your

nutrition? We've all been told to eat

fruits and vegetables, but the real

reason is phytonutrients, the natural

compounds your body uses every day to

repair and respond. And that's exactly

what Balance and Nature focuses on. They

take real produce and put it through a

specialized vacuum cold process that

helps preserve those important

phytonutrients. Their whole health

system combines fruits and veggies with

fiber spice supplements, giving you 47

whole food ingredients in one simple

routine. They've even got new

freeze-dried snacks that follow the same

philosophy. Because at the end of the

day, plant nutrition isn't complicated.

is talking about his racial equity plan

because uh you know, racism racism is

back, baby. And while today's true cost

of living measure confirms that the

affordability crisis touches every

corner of our city, we know that these

effects are not applied evenly. So often

it is black and brown New Yorkers who

are hit the hardest. This preliminary

racial equity plan is the first step in

developing a whole of government

approach to tackling that reality. It is

a plan that lays out these first steps

to solve decades of neglect and

discrimination. And it places the work

of 45 city agencies within a singular

framework.

>> I am going to tell you one more time, if

you live in New York City and you are

sane, leave. It is going to keep getting

worse. And it is going to get worse and

worse. And it is going to get worse in

ways that we almost cannot imagine. A

racial equity plan to bring up black and

brown people. Well, what will you have

to do? It's very hard to bring people

up. The only way you can bring people up

actually is to make everything equal and

then people have to have some skin in

the game and fight and work hard and

make some things happen. So they don't

really mean bring people up. What they

mean is bring people down and then you

will have equity and it will suck for

everybody. And by the way, everyone will

be a little more racist, too, because

the people who got brought down, those

Asians and whites, they're going to be

pretty pissed at those people who in

essence think they moved up, but they

actually just stayed while they brought

these people down. And all of the people

who are producing are fleeing and of

course moving to Florida. And Florida

will be the financial capital of the

world. It will be the cultural capital

of the world. It will be safe and clean

and prosperous and have wonderful

infrastructure and all of those things.
