Plus zero percent interest for thirty six months ends Monday
Jedediah with eighty days to go
Jedediah with eighty days to go
until the election President
Trump says. New York is in play
with the spike in crime and high
taxes
here to react: assembly, member
and congressional candidate.
Nicole.
Welcome to the show,
when I saw this I said, wait a
second
New York. Yes, is going through
a crime spike, but it is
decidedly blue.
Could New York be in play?
I certainly think so, and
parts of this state that Trump
will win overwhelmingly,
including my congressional
district.
This is a district he won by ten percent,
currently held by a Democrat in
Congress.
We are going to take it back
this year.
We are excited about all of that
and bringing fresh vision to
this city and state, because
people are extremely upset with
the rise in crime,
the rise in taxes.
They are really disgusted by the
fact that our congressman
marched with defund the police
crowd in front of our local free
sinct, and this is happening all
over the state.
In fact, the people that
complained the most are the ones
that voted against the president
in twenty sixteen,
I think they are going to be
reconsidering this November
Jedediah. So what are the key
issues that President Trump
should be speaking about?
I you mentioned the crime.
I know that people have fled
Manhattan, have fled many of the
bureaus as a result of feeling
that Bill De Blasio, for
example, does not is not
supporting local law enforcement.
What should president Trump be
talking about in terms of
targeting congressional seats
for Republicans
President Trump, and I are
certainly on the same page when
it comes to restoring law and
order back to the streets of our
city?
You know when you look at Bill
De Blasio or MAX rose and their
support for closing Rikers
Island, releasing prisoners, bail
and defunding police.
That is certainly something my
dont support.
Certainly, yesterday the New York
City PBA, endorsed him
also the economy. You know our
restaurants are struggling.
They are saying one out of three
restaurants in our city are not
going to reopen because of the
policies put in place right now
by our mayor and governor that
are keeping them shut down.
Despite US meeting the metrics
to reopen,
we have a major issue here
economically and only President
Trump can fix this nationally. I
believe,
but certainly having him putting
pressure on our mayor and
governor when it comes to
reopening our city
thats a huge issue as well.
Of course, the overall cost of
living, which we know the tax and
spend mentality of Democrats
that is under one party rule
here at the city and state level,
is a real major problem here, and
we have to stop voting in those
elected officials who continue
to hurt the working class and
the middle class
Jedediah yeah, I mean Nicole
at this point, someone in
leadership is going to have to
incentivize people to stay in
New York and make them feel that
it is a safe place that its a
safe place for their businesses,
that their businesses can and
will succeed and law enforcement.
Someone needs to call the police
that the police will be
supported and will be able to
come to their aid,
so remains to be seen how these
election results will go.
We will be watching closely.
