00:04:00
Speaker 5: He's haven't really affected us yet.
00:04:01

00:04:07
Speaker 1: So we were talking like twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen.
00:04:10

You suffered a little bit.
00:04:39
Speaker 6: I'm any central worker, so I was allowed to go out and work, but there were nobody on the roads.
00:04:45
Speaker 2: Unless young people are going into the vocation, right, so there's not as much. You know, I feel like years ago there were there were plumbers and electricians everywhere. But I'm in construction, and uh, you know, I have a hard time getting contractors qualified guys.
00:04:58
Speaker 6: Right while west to it, this person has to pick up truck over in They call themselves a contractor.
00:05:04
Speaker 1: And all they do is is something no insurance.
00:05:07
Speaker 6: Well I have everything and I have to I have to build a little bit higher to cover that. But you have guys going around, not saying illegals, but the guys going around trying to get a funny story twenty sixteen, my son flowillified to go for his driver's license. But then they gave you illegals the opportunity to get driver's license.
00:05:25
Speaker 1: It foiled a lot of people from here.
00:05:26
Speaker 6: And we were at the end of the line to get a driving license and we were American citizens and they won't.
00:05:31
Speaker 1: That was wrong. Yeah, I know.
00:05:33
Speaker 2: I tried to get my daughter a permit during that time. I had to get five five pieces of.
00:05:38
Speaker 1: ID, but you didn't need any as an illegal.
00:05:41
Speaker 5: No, nothing. They show up but nothing and they walk out with driver license. And we were online with them.
00:05:45
Speaker 2: And you remember the lines during COVID of illegals in New York City and New York on Long Island here like wrapped around the corner of illegals and regular people couldn't get in an American.
00:05:54
Speaker 6: Citizen that it was me, that was me and my son's like dad what's going on herew you're.
00:05:58
Speaker 1: Getting your driving license? All the people getting the driving license.
00:06:01
Speaker 2: How important was it that Trump got elected over commonis?
00:06:05
Speaker 6: Oh, we would have been invaded by China or we would have been invaded by Russia. That's how important. When you're over and you're up and you're saying, a friend in need is a friend. Indeed, the whole will was laughing at us. Remember when she did that in Poland?
00:06:18
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Well she didn't even know where Ukraine was or Poland was.
00:06:21
Speaker 5: And she's been to the border.
00:06:22
Speaker 1: Yeah she does. Where the border is? The border?

Speaker 2: Well, listen more American, real American voices on the ground here and Brian Vatchevsky, Yes, sir, thank you. It's a pleasure to meet you, and I appreciate your insight. It's real American voices on the ground. The holiday weekend is here, thanks Giving. We have Matt and Marchhie Katchman here, friends for a long time here, very active with the American First Warehouse Patriots on Long Island. But there's a lot of issues that we have to address here on the island.
00:07:12
Speaker 1: Right while we celebrate the holiday. How are you?
00:07:16
Speaker 8: We're doing good?
00:07:17
Speaker 5: We're doing good.
00:07:19
Speaker 2: Good yeah, yeah, And so it's a time to I guess count your blessings, right, and the abundance in America right, absolutely so.
00:07:31
Speaker 1: But there's big issues here.
00:07:32
Speaker 2: You're both in real estate for decades and young people can't stay here. Everybody's renting, uh and they're paying three four thousand a month in rent sometimes and how do you ever save to buy a home?
00:07:46
Speaker 5: Well, they can't, they can't.
00:07:47
Speaker 8: And what Huckle is doing is, yeah, she is having all apartments are being built, Rental apartments are being everywhere. We're in Port Jeff It was a quite quaint town and now there are apartments on every corner.
00:08:04
Speaker 1: It's a going everywhere near railroad station.
00:08:06
Speaker 2: As part of that, like Agenda twenty one stuff in the un you know, they want, you know, everybody to walk to a train and get rid.
00:08:12
Speaker 1: Of their cars, right right, right, It's terrible.
00:08:15
Speaker 8: They don't want them to own a house.
00:08:17
Speaker 1: This is suburbia. But there's no equity. They're not building any equity.
00:08:20
Speaker 5: That's right.
00:08:21
Speaker 1: That's so what do you see out there?
00:08:23
Speaker 2: You know, we're talking about this problem we've had in the country for a long time regarding you know, people.
00:08:29
Speaker 1: Don't want to sell their home because they locked in at two three four percent.
00:08:33
Speaker 2: Right, So there's not selling, there's no inventory. What does a young person do and what are some of the solutions.
00:08:39
Speaker 9: Well, some of the solutions are as as Trump said, maybe a fifty year mortgage where at least you can get in for a lower payment, which beats paying rent. An adjustable rate mortgage they worked years ago. It's still an option, and you can refinance down the road or things.
00:08:57
Speaker 2: Are so anything to get them in to get a deed home owner of opportunities.
00:09:01
Speaker 9: It beats you know, the young people are attracted to socialism because they don't own anything. They don't have anything. Yeah, and so there's that that's their option. But home ownership is still the American jusaber rate mortgage.
00:09:13
Speaker 1: Did just see them coming back?
00:09:15
Speaker 9: I do, I do, I absolutely do, because it gets people in the door, and it's better to own than rent.
00:09:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of a
lot of issues to address here on Long Island.
00:09:25
Speaker 2: Margie, I wanted to talk to you about you know, you lost a couple of children, two children to fentanyl, and you know it's been.
00:09:33
Speaker 1: A big issue. Trump cloths the water. You think that's helping things.
00:09:38
Speaker 8: Absolutely, it's helping things. He's stopping that NOL coming into this country to kill our young and blowing up those boats. There's six maybe five six people on the boats that and yeah they get blown up and they're gone. But a little bit of thatl is killing a lot. They're poisoning a lot of our youth.
00:10:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, they're saying every boat load has the possibility to kill twenty five thousand Americans. Right, Okay, what are some of the other issues that are important to you? What do you think about the job market here on Long Island? People being able to go to the grocery. So are you things are still going up?
00:10:18
Speaker 8: Yeah, prices are going up. But I have faith in President Trump that next year, this is when it's all going to kick in, and everything that he's pushing and working for for the American people, it's going to kick in next year in twenty six and we're going to be grateful.
00:10:34
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:10:34
Speaker 2: No, I'm in construction and commercial real estate for almost four decades, and you know, costs the up thirty forty percent construction because his supply chain and COVID and other stuff and high interest rates. Do you see things loosening up on that? Because I think the economy is going to take off like a rocket ship next year.
00:10:52
Speaker 1: Oh? I agree.
00:10:53
Speaker 9: Unfortunately, the Biden era created this inflation and we are unfortunately stuck with it. Very rarely goes down. It means odd dollar was devalued by the Democrats and now we have to live with this higher price. But if your economy is humming along and things are doing well and fuel prices come down, things will definitely take off.
00:11:17
Speaker 7: Yeah.
00:11:18
Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know the other side of it is that you're getting less at the grocery store, smaller containers.
00:11:23
Speaker 1: Higher prices, and once they raise them, they don't really come down.
00:11:27
Speaker 5: Now they don't, they don't come down.
00:11:30
Speaker 7: But have the faith.
00:11:31
Speaker 8: Have the faith.
00:11:32
Speaker 1: Yes, Trump didn't do it.
00:11:33
Speaker 9: You can't blame Trump for this.
00:11:35
Speaker 8: They tried to destroy America. They tried to destroy it, and Donald Trump came in and he's saving America.
00:11:42
Speaker 1: We'll be back with more breaking point right after this.
00:12:12
Speaker 2: I hope everybody had a nice el trip to fan nap from their dark meat on Thanksgiving, watch them football, hung out with friends and family, maybe argued with the crazy uncle a little bit. But I was at the beth Page Embassy Diana Bethpage, New York, home to Grummin Aviation van Chow Republic. Right down the road. They built the fighters that helped win World War II, the Cold War, and in between, the F six F Hellcat, the TBF Avenger, the P forty seven Thunderbolt, the A ten Thunderbolt, the F fourteen, the Lunar Module, the wings for the Space Shuttle, all these great planes, the E two Seahawkeye built on Long Island by the men and women. But the culture and the economy has changed.
00:12:52
Speaker 4: Here.
00:12:53
Speaker 2: We're just outside of New York City and only four percent is manufacturing. And this is the problem across America. In a lot of places service economy outside of New York City. So if New York City's not doing well, the suburbs don't do as well. And Mam Donnie's scaring everybody right with his socialistic policies. The finance people commute to the city worried the cops are retiring early without being vested in their pensions. So we'll see how it unfolds. I don't think maddonni will be able to get away with most of what he's proposing, and they'll be checks and balances. And Trump is watching him like a hawk, and he's going to go into this year if he wants his bus plan free buses, which don't work, would just be like homeless shelters, you know, in the streets of New York on wheels. You know, he's going to lose federal funding if he wants to do that. He has a seventeen billion dollars shortfall ahead of him. But check out these interviews with real American voices on the ground from Long Island, New York. Having breakfast here, real American voices on the ground, the Bethpage Embassy Diner here at places extraordinary and we got a lot of issues.
00:13:52
Speaker 1: Here on Long Island.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: And somebody to talk about that is Greg Hack running for Congress in the third district, trying to get that Republican sheep right.
00:14:01
Speaker 10: Yes I am, Yes, I am. We're gonna take out Tom Swasei. In November twenty twenty six.
00:14:06
Speaker 1: Why are you running.
00:14:07
Speaker 10: I'm running because we because of a lot of reasons. We have a lot of problems in our country. We have a lack of trust between our representatives and the electorate, and I think that needs to be changed. There's less than a ten percent approval rating of Americans who approve of Congress.
00:14:22
Speaker 1: How are they getting so rich in Congress?
00:14:24
Speaker 10: They're trading on non public information. Actually, some information is going to be coming out tomorrow.
00:14:28
Speaker 1: Rose's worth a lot of money.
00:14:29
Speaker 10: Now he's worth a lot of money. He's up over four hundred and fifty percent on his trades.
00:14:33
Speaker 1: Wow.
00:14:34
Speaker 2: So there's a bill in Congress, right, proposed to ban stock trading.
00:14:39
Speaker 10: Right there is, there's actually an active one already. There's there's this Stock Act of twenty seventeen. But unfortunately it used to be enforced by an outside entity. Unfortunately they move that enforce him back into Congress. So it's the fox in charge of
the henause.
00:14:53
Speaker 2: Okay, a lot happened in the third district, right. George Santos was convicted of identity theft and why a freud certain people's living rooms and promised him that you know those people in the third District on the north shore Long Island, and to his credit, he won the district in a second time around, but a lot of people disappointed.
00:15:11
Speaker 1: Do you think you can get it back? I think I can, and I have a plan to do that.
00:15:15
Speaker 10: I have a plan to be to engender trust with the voters and give them and actually be worthy of that trust. And by doing that, you have a better relationship with the electorate, with your representatives, so you could be more effective and powerful in Congress.
00:15:27
Speaker 1: For those members.
00:15:28
Speaker 2: Now, I met you about five years ago during COVID. You guys were outside the Nassau County legislature. You've been active for a long time, right, tell us about your outlook for Long Island.
00:15:37
Speaker 10: Well, with Mundani in there, it's a little bit of a problem. But it's so expensive to live. You have the average price of a single family home in Nassau County at over eight hundred thousand dollars. We're not able to attract the young people to come back unless we really make changes. I have some great plans for that to attract young people to come back. But when we lose the young people, we have an older population. And when you have the older population, you don't have a innovation, entrepreneurship for the for the for the district. And when you don't have that or an economic engine exactly exactly, then when it gets older, you.
00:16:05
Speaker 1: Lose the jobs.
00:16:06
Speaker 2: We're very top heavy here on Long Island. About one in four work for the government in some level. And then you take healthcare, which is about fifty percent government funded. We used to be the home to defense, the space shuttle wings, you know, the lunar module, the F fourteen.
00:16:20
Speaker 1: Right, it's changed.
00:16:21
Speaker 10: Yeah, aviation's got a great Yeah, it has changed, but aviation is Long Island has a very rich aviation.
00:16:27
Speaker 1: In World War Two. Oh wow, we got to talk about that further. Greg. I want to thank you so much for coming on. And where can people follow you? Thank you, Dave. Yeah, they can go to Greg hack dot com. That's g R E g H A c H dot com. All right, thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, thank you. Just finishing breakfast up here at the Bethpage dying and this.
00:16:44
Speaker 2: Place is incredible, the decorations for Christmas here and Gus the owner, We're gonna sit down with him on the on the cost of doing business in New York. A small business owner, you know, struggles insurance, utilities and everything.
00:16:57
Speaker 1: It's expensive to live here, right.
00:16:58
Speaker 11: Guess Long Island is one of the most expensive place in the entire country to live in.
00:17:02
Speaker 1: Jay Weinstein from.
00:17:03
Speaker 2: The Belmore Patriots here, super patriot, very active on Long Island for many years here.
00:17:08
Speaker 1: But you're like a border town for New York City. Right, You've got a lot of commuters coming from.
00:17:13
Speaker 2: National County into the city, NYPD, FDNY financial services type people and others.
00:17:19
Speaker 1: Right, a lot of people commuting hundreds of thousands.
00:17:22
Speaker 11: Yes, that is correct.
00:17:23
Speaker 1: We have worried.
00:17:25
Speaker 11: I am actually worried because MNDNIE getting in can really affect Long Island in a big way. Thank god, we got Blakeman in right now, who's putting three hundred more cops on the force to protect Long Island from New York City. So hopefully that makes a difference.
00:17:42
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, a lot of early retirement.
00:17:44
Speaker 2: You know, last year, the last two years, a lot of cops retired without invested, be invested. They just wanted to get out. Other cities recruiting them, like Houston and down South and Phoenix. And you know, do you think the cops, the veteran police officers will continue to step down.
00:18:01
Speaker 11: I think from what I'm hearing through the Great Vine to my friends, so and is about fifteen to twenty percent of the police force will be stepping down come January first, because they're afraid of defunding the police. They're afraid that they're not going to have any respect that I mean, dining is not going to give them them the war, I should say, the way the ability to do that job, than the ability to do their job the way it needs to be done. And they're afraid. You know that the criminals are going to rule New York City and they're gonna get hurt because they are being hindered.
00:18:31
Speaker 2: Well, this year aloon on, there's been about sixty seven thousand felony and misdemeanor assaults. It's an incredible number. Rape is still up seventeen percent in New York City. And they talk about shootings being down twenty percent and murders being down twenty percent.
00:18:46
Speaker 1: But other things are up and the quality of life isn't there.
00:18:49
Speaker 9: Right.
00:18:49
Speaker 11: Let's be honest here, I don't believe any of those numbers that they tell you. We all know that they play with the numbers. They hold off on the numbers until after the fact and then they put them in there where it doesn't show in the polls. Polls the meaningless and.
00:19:01
Speaker 1: Bragg is playing down the felonies to misdemeanors, right.
00:19:04
Speaker 11: That is correct.
00:19:05
Speaker 1: And Donnie doesn't believe in misdemeanors, right.
00:19:07
Speaker 11: No, he doesn't. He believes a social worker can handle all this for sure.
00:19:12
Speaker 2: So Long Island has a lot of issues that are that our bell weather for the rest of the nation. Like Loudon County was, we have transgender issues now National County. Bruce Blakeman here is really rigid on preventing men in women's sports.
00:19:26
Speaker 1: But you have a controversy in a local school district in Massapeak or tell us about it.
00:19:31
Speaker 11: Yes, Massapeka right now has a transgender child that wants to go into the ladies bathroom and change and be one of them. The girls do not want it. They've been very vocal about it. They feel uncomfortable, they feel you know, they're already having a tough time coming out, you know, growing up right now, and now they have to do this in front of a kid.
00:19:52
Speaker 1: Now.
00:19:52
Speaker 11: The school was amazing what they did. They created a bathroom specifically for this one child. This way doesn't interfere with anyone else. Everybody feels comforted.
00:20:01
Speaker 1: That was turned down by the student.
00:20:03
Speaker 11: That's correct. That is correct. Students turned it down. Wasn't good enough for him, So the parents and LGBTQ are student the school district over.
00:20:11
Speaker 1: So I covered Louden County schools with that controversy. You know, the kid gets secretly shipped to another school, assaults another girl.
00:20:19
Speaker 2: But the PTA had a solution in Loudon County to have let him use one of the teachers lounges bathrooms.
00:20:26
Speaker 1: To change and do a thing, but the school rejected it. Is it purposely trying to shove this down on.
00:20:31
Speaker 11: The roads, Yes, it is. They are trying to shove it down the throw and that all comes back to the Democrats who are allowing this. They're refusing to stop this. They think it's funny, they think it's amazing thing because they're going to get votes from the LGBTQ, But it actually hurts women. I mean, look what happened in Virginia. If you remember, an LGBTQ person went into a women's bathroom. I shouldn't say lgbt's sorry. A trans agenda went into a women's bathroom and raped the girl in Virginia.
00:20:56
Speaker 2: Yeah, I believe it, and then got transferred and did it again, you know, without anybody knowing. All right, I want to talk about Massapequa. Taka Pusha Indian the mascot. By the way, my mother made the Indian symbol in Massapequa when she was thirteen years old, seventy years ago.
00:21:12
Speaker 1: She won on our contest. They adopted as a village seal.
00:21:15
Speaker 2: So Chief Taka Pusha sold the Rockaway Peninsula here to the Dutch in a civilized transaction.
00:21:21
Speaker 1: It was It wasn't. The white man came in and killed everybody.
00:21:25
Speaker 2: And the school adopted the Taka Pusha logo, especially for the village a Massapeka and their high school.
00:21:31
Speaker 1: Now they're getting rid of it. Tell us where that stands.
00:21:34
Speaker 11: Well, the problem is what Hkel doesn't realize or doesn't care to realize, is Long Island was all indigenous. It was all Indians.
00:21:43
Speaker 1: That's what I means named after him.
00:21:45
Speaker 11: That's correct. Massapiko Alone's name is named after a tribe of the Indians. And it's disrespectful to remove the logo.
00:21:51
Speaker 1: And this
is it's in honor of the Indian. That is correct, They're not being exploited.
00:21:56
Speaker 11: No, they're not any trading. Actually, most of the Indians wanted to remain. They're actually fighting it.
00:22:00
Speaker 2: Yeah, Connectqatt School here on Long Island have to change their name from the Thunderbirds.
00:22:04
Speaker 1: Right, that's correct.
00:22:05
Speaker 11: And thank god massa Peaker is standing the ground and they are fighting this. They have been going to court. They lost the first round, but they are going back and Trump is stepped in and is trying to help out Massapeker as well.
00:22:16
Speaker 2: Wow, tell us about affordability on Long Island. You see, you know, people scaling back for the holidays. What's your assessment.
00:22:27
Speaker 11: Yes, people are scaling back unfortunately. I mean Trump's doing an amazing job, but it's very hard to bring down with Biden coys. It takes a long time. Unfortunate people have to be patient. But food is expensive. I mean your eggs has come down, but milk is skyrocket is sixteen percent.
00:22:43
Speaker 1: At this point you go to.
00:22:45
Speaker 2: Down, rolls are down sixteen percent. Hash potatoes I think are down one and a half percent.
00:22:52
Speaker 1: But it's not quick enough, right, No, it's not.
00:22:54
Speaker 11: And you know, people are really hurting during the Christmas times with people losing their jobs right now. Inflation being as high as is, people can't afford to do an average meal. They can't do a family function anymore.
00:23:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I get it. So tell us what are you thankful for on the Thanksgiving Holiday?
00:23:13
Speaker 11: I am thankful for, you know, just being here, having a wonderful family. I'm thankful for Trump getting in as president of the United States because without him we've been dire need I mean, having sleepy Joe. And to get about Kamala Harris being in there, we'd really be in trouble. So Lis, he's trying to protect us and get us back to where we need to be.
00:23:31
Speaker 1: All right, well, maybe we'll get back there.
00:23:33
Speaker 2: And I appreciate your time, Jay, and you have a great Thanksgiving holiday, happy and health.
00:23:38
Speaker 1: Thank you for everything, and thanks for bringing the crowd down here, said the Dina.
00:23:41
Speaker 2: It's nice, of course, all right, Real American Voices on the ground, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back with more breaking point on Real America's Voice News. I interviewed Real American Voices on the Ground at the Great Beth Page Embassy Diner. You know, a commuting community to New York City, a suburb outside of New York City here.
00:24:23
Speaker 1: But there are problems.
00:24:24
Speaker 2: Are the nation's problems. You know, people are dealing with affordability issues. If you're in business, high insurance prices, general abilities.
00:24:31
Speaker 1: Through the roof.
00:24:31
Speaker 2: If you're in food, the food courts are high, their supply
chain, you can't get good help.
00:24:37
Speaker 1: Nobody wants to work anymore. Of the work ethics gone.
00:24:39
Speaker 2: But the place was beautiful at the Beth Page Diner, and I got to speak with Bruce Blakeman, who's the NASA County executive. He's doing a great job with ice, doing a great job to put a barrier up between Mamdani and Nassau County, which neighbors New York City. He may run for governor, but I think it's at least staphonics or the wanting. And she's got a lot of money. But he is a terrific county executive. Maybe tossing his hot into the gubernatorio race. Check out my interview with Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman. Really a standard bearer for the rest of the country to follow. This guy is really great.
00:25:14
Speaker 1: Check it out here at the Bethpage Embassy Diners.
00:25:17
Speaker 2: The place is a landmark for six seven decades over here in Nassau County. But we're on it to have with us a very popular county executive, just one re election here in Nassau County, Long Island, Bruce Blakeman, how are you.
00:25:28
Speaker 12: I'm doing great. You are in the most patriotic diner in all of America. Gusta's an amazing job and we love him here. Yeah, it's it's extraordinary in his family too, you know. And you know it's hard to be in business right in New York.
00:25:42
Speaker 2: You've got a lot of overhead, you know, the insurances, you know, the regulation, hard to find labor right. Tell us about the Nassau economy and what you're doing to address and keep it, you know, because NASA is doing pretty well compared to most counties.
00:25:58
Speaker 12: NASA is doing great. Are economy is booming. People are moving to Nasau County, businesses are moving to Nasau County. We have full employment. We have the lowest poverty rate of any county in New York State. And it's not easy because we're fighting the liberal, woke, anti business policies of Walbany and Governor Hochel. And now we have a communist as the mayor of New York City, which is bordering on Nassau County.
00:26:22
Speaker 1: So it's not easy.
00:26:24
Speaker 12: But our people are very hard working. They believe in hard work and that you get rewards if you play by the rules. And our economy is doing incredibly well. Where the safest county in America. Niche magazine said, We're the most desirable place to live in New York State, and our economy is doing great. So if you want a great job, you want to move your business here, Nasau County is the place to be.
00:26:48
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about you bought in New York City, right, you feel like you're the last line of defense. You're in between Suffolk County and New York City. A lot of commuters, hundreds of thousands of commuters go into New.
00:26:59
Speaker 1: York City every day.
00:27:00
Speaker 2: New York and New York Police Department FDNY Financial Services. Do you think any of those are going to be affected by Mamdannie being there, Well.
00:27:08
Speaker 12: I definitely think they're going to be affected if in fact he does what he says he's going to do, which I think will just kill the city.
00:27:16
Speaker 1: We love New York City.
00:27:17
Speaker 12: We're on the border of New York City, a lot of our people, as you said, work in New York City, and we're very concerned about a guy that wants to defund the police. He wants to send social workers on nine one one calls instead of police officers. He talks about free bus rides will just become rolling homeless shelters. He's got the wrong approach. The right approach is to create wealth and prosperity that makes life more affordable for people because they get a better wage, they can afford more things, they get better benefits. So we in Nasau County have a different approach. We're trying to create wealth and prosperity and economic development that creates better jobs and that gives people a better lifestyle, and that makes things more affordable, not just giving free handouts, which doesn't material improve anybody, doesn't.
00:28:00
Speaker 2: His bus plan it's about seven and a half billion. He's going to face an eighteen billion dollars short fall next year. Trump's got all eyes on him.
00:28:07
Speaker 12: Right, Yeah, Well, President Trump, he's the master negotiator. He wrote the Art of the Deal. He's somebody that knows how to deal with all types of people, and we're very fortunate to have him as president. I can't imagine if Kamala Harris was president right now, that would be a disaster. And he's doing a great job. He's done more in ten months than any president in my memory. So we love President Trump here in Nassau County.
00:28:31
Speaker 2: Let's talk about you've been a leader and a national leader in the forefront of men and women's sports.
00:28:38
Speaker 1: You banned it in Nasau County, right.
00:28:40
Speaker 12: We were the first county in all of America where we said boys play with boys and girls play with girls. I had a little girl from a soccer team come to me and they said to me, hey, we don't want boys playing in our sport. We work really hard to make our team and it's unfair, and it's also unsafe having biological males and girls' sports. And they don't want him in their bathrooms and their locker rooms either. So I got to tell you, I don't understand the lack of common sense on people who want to put biological males in girls' sports and put them in their locker rooms and their bathrooms.
00:29:13
Speaker 1: We don't do that here in Nassau County, and the parents have been really outspoken. You've got massive people schools, right, It's a new controversy.
00:29:20
Speaker 2: A boy who wants to be a woman wants to use the girls bathrooms and locker rooms.
00:29:25
Speaker 1: So I covered Laudin County right and down there they had.
00:29:27
Speaker 2: A solution for the kid who assaulted the girl, raped the girl, did it again after he was transferred. But the PTA had a solution to use the teacher's lounge for him to go to the bathroom and change.
Of course, the school rejected. Are they purposely sticking it in the eye of the parents or what's going on?
00:29:45
Speaker 12: Well, I can't speak to what others are doing other than the fact that here in Nassau County we used common sense. We adhere to American values. Both my parents were World War Two veterans.
00:29:56
Speaker 1: My mother joined the army.
00:29:58
Speaker 12: They taught us values that basically, Unfortunately, there are a lot of people want to destroy American values and a lot of it's coming from people who haven't been here very long. And I don't know why we're letting people in our country that don't embrace America.
00:30:10
Speaker 1: Two more quick things.
00:30:12
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving holiday here, right, Taka pusha right Indian chief here and you know he sold to the Dutch the Rockaway Peninsula, right, It wasn't taken by force by the white man. Right, the Massapequa School District has Taka pusha as this symbol. My mother designed the logo from Massapequa Parks seventy years ago when he was thirteen. They kept it to this day with Taca pusher in there, and now they want to get rid of it here. But it's in honor of the Indians, right, it's not an insult.
00:30:40
Speaker 12: Well, first of all, you should know I'm an honorary Massapeak with chief so okay, I wear my massive peak with chief jacket. I mean, it's just ridiculous. Governor Holkle doesn't have anything better to do than to come to schools and tell them that they have to change their mascot.
00:30:55
Speaker 1: Look a chief.
00:30:55
Speaker 12: To me, it means leadership. It means somebody who's in a position edition of power. So using the chief mascot is not pejorative to the Indians. It's it's actually saying good things about Native Americans. The same thing with the Wanta Warriors. They want to ban warriors. What's wrong with that? It shows courage. I just think that these people are ridiculous. They think of new things every day, don't get me started on on yeah, all the pronouns and all that stuff.
00:31:27
Speaker 2: And Cleveland Indians named their baseball club after her. Panops got Indian who was a terrific baseball player. I wanted to talk about Kathy hokl Is, you know's she backed away from Mamdannie a little bit on the you know, taxing the middle class.
00:31:43
Speaker 1: And but now she wants to raise corporate taxes in New York State. That's not sustainable, right, Well, it's a huge mistake.
00:31:50
Speaker 12: People are leaving our state by the droves, except for in Nassau County, and they're going to other places that are more business friendly. And it's just ridicul to raise the corporate tax because it's a tax on the middle class. It makes us less affordable. Why are they raising taxes at a time where we should be lowering taxes. I haven't raised taxes one dime one penny in four years in Nasau County. And yet I've hired over one hundred cops. I've hired, excuse me, over four hundred cops, two hundred correction officers, probation
officers. We're hiring law enforcement officers. We're managing our budget. We've got seven bound upgrades. I don't know why the governor can't manage her financial affairs. Maybe it's because she's giving billions and billions of dollars to illegal migrants who've been here for ten minutes and they haven't earned it, but she's giving everything away to free for them.
00:32:38
Speaker 2: You've been on the forefront of cooperating with ICE. I know you said last month alone or in October novemb you deported forty seven illegals.
00:32:48
Speaker 1: Or tell us about your ICE efforts.
00:32:51
Speaker 12: Sure, so again, Nasau County was the first. We have the most comprehensive agreement with ICE. We work in cooperation with ICE, and it's been a great collaborative effort. So last month we took out forty seven illegal migrants who had criminal records. Twenty seven of them were in gang related activities. We because we have an agreement with ICE, we removed them not only from Nassau County, but from the whole region and all of America. In addition, the other day we had somebody come through the Arizona border from Mexico, a Romanian with an Irish passport and in New York City driver's license, committing thefts here.
00:33:30
Speaker 1: We picked him up.
00:33:31
Speaker 12: He would have been let free because a cashless bail, another stupid thing. But we had an agreement Ice. We called ICE, they came to the precinct, they picked that individual up.
00:33:42
Speaker 1: They're gone. So we're very happy to have an agreement with ICE. All right, And I just wanted to last, but not least, what is Thanksgiving?
00:33:51
Speaker 11: I mean to you?
00:33:52
Speaker 1: And what are you going to be doing?
00:33:53
Speaker 4: Well?
00:33:54
Speaker 12: It's probably one of my favorite holidays because we should thank each and every day for all of our blessings, and it's American tradition. It's an American holiday, and I just want to wish everybody out there a happy and healthy Thanksgiving and thank you for what you're doing. I make God bless American.
00:34:10
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you for joining us with real American voices, the hard working people, the middle class of Long Island here in Nassau County, the great Nassau County.
00:34:19
Speaker 1: And thank you again. Now I'm going to get my omley. All right, sounds good. Thank you appreciate having me. It's wonderful. Thank you. We always love seeing Maria from switch to USA. How are you?
00:34:32
Speaker 7: I am doing very well.
00:34:33
Speaker 1: I am so pumped that we are here in Long Island. Thank you. Yeah, it's great and I see you everywhere.
00:34:39
Speaker 2: I saw you in Schnecksville, Pennsylvania, Wildwood, New Jersey.
00:34:43
Speaker 1: Is there anyway you don't go? There is nowhere we don't go. Absolutely right.
00:34:47
Speaker 2: You've been a supporter of a Real America's Voice Breaking Point for some time.
00:34:52
Speaker 1: Now tell us about Switch to USA.
00:34:54
Speaker 4: Well, Switch to USA is the mom and pop American manufacturer. We are the parallel economy for all of your essentials and you never know when you might need another supply chain.
00:35:06
Speaker 2: Wink wink so well made on American soil by American factory workers.
00:35:11
Speaker 5: Amen to that.
00:35:12
Speaker 4: We have to rebuild our economy and we.
00:35:15
Speaker 1: Are doing it. Where can our viewers find you?
00:35:18
Speaker 4: Please come to switch the number two USA dot com.
00:35:23
Speaker 1: Switch to USA dot com. We love Maria, so great to see you.
00:35:27
Speaker 7: Thank you so much, David, we love you too.
00:35:29
Speaker 5: Thank you everyone awesome.
00:35:30
Speaker 1: Thank you Maria. We'll be right back with more Breaking Point on Real America's Voice names.
00:36:13
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Breaking Point. I'm David Zeer. I hope everybody had a wonderful Thanksgiving with their families. And you know, one of the great things about being part of Real America's voices. We're in touch with the people on the ground. I covered probably close to one hundred and fifty two hundred TRUMP events, probably about one hundred rallies on the ground in many states. I've been to thirty eight states with the network and the people are great. But one of the great things is, you know, I've been doing it since twenty nineteen with them, and we meet people who emerged later. You know, they tell me on the ground, oh, I'm involved with my school board. Oh I'm involved with this, so I want to get involved. And then all of a sudden, three years later they like powerhouses, grassroots powerhouses, and one of those people so I got to interview in Wilmington last year. We met on the ground Michelle mori Or, the founder for the National Alliance for Education Reform.
00:37:08
Speaker 1: Michelle, how are you Okay?
00:37:11
Speaker 7: I'm doing great, and I so appreciate the opportunity to be back with you.
00:37:15
Speaker 1: Yeah.
00:37:15
Speaker 2: I mean, it's amazing how the Trump rallies and things like SEAPACK and TPUSA and all that over the years have led to so many grassroots activists.
00:37:25
Speaker 1: This has bottom up. Nobody from CBS News or George Soros is paying you right.
00:37:32
Speaker 7: Right, Actually they were paying the campaign against me.
00:37:35
Speaker 1: Yeah, Oh that's for sure. That's for sure. Okay.
00:37:39
Speaker 2: So I first met you in Wilmington last year. I did a couple of rallies that one of them, the jet flew over and couldn't land, so everyone had to leave. That was disappointing, but I was so moved by your message. When I saw you on the war room last week, I was like, oh my god, that's Michelle and because your message was really moving, and you were like, I'm running for the department head of the superintendent of education in North Carolina.
00:38:05
Speaker 1: Right, great, So tell us what's going on. You know, you have an.
00:38:10
Speaker 2: Immigration crackdown, get thirty thousand plus
students not showing up for the schools.
00:38:15
Speaker 1: Tell us the story.
00:38:17
Speaker 7: Well, you know, unfortunately they want to make this be about just one bad day, but that's really not what was happening. What's happening is this is the result of years and years of just abuse of our immigration system. And what we've been doing is telling our students for the last twenty years that you're not responsible for yourself, that we are celebrating lawlessness. And I tell you, when we have students that are cursing law enforcement that are praising lawlessness, and we have our parents and our teachers on the sidelines cheering them on. We know that we are in a very dangerous place in our country.
00:38:55
Speaker 1: What a twisted, twisted, twisted culture we have.
00:39:00
Speaker 2: And I see it and I get exactly what you're saying. So tell us what happened on that day? The students didn't go to school and protest because or were people saying they were afraid of ice coming into the school.
00:39:13
Speaker 1: What was the real story?
00:39:15
Speaker 7: Well, really it's the fear mongering of the left right. They were telling people not to go to school because they could be kidnapped by these law enforcement agents that were going to come into the schools and take them away. That's what it began, as that's why we see that they didn't come to school on Monday. But then as the week progressed last week, we saw students just leaving their classrooms and as I said, cursing ice and walking around, you know, throwing things and being angry and leaving the schools. And that was all in protest of us wanting to enforce our immigration. So it's very interesting because if you even listen for a few minutes to the NEA, the National Educators Association, it's very clear that they have weptanized our schools in the United States of America. They are now teaching our children to be political activists, to be social justice warriors, quote unquote. But the majority of our kids can't even read, or write or do math at grade level. And so the that that that's where we've come to.
00:40:19
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, starting with the prominent education under Obama and Biden and probably Clinton, and all the way through the NEA, the teachers' unions tacitly endorsing, you know, thirteen year old kids getting converted to trying to convert them to another sex, which is impossible, and then sterilizing them for life. Transgender dysphoria sets in at a later age, you know, and the decisions they regretted, decisions just like the you know, a lot of people, so many people.
00:40:51
Speaker 1: So it's really crazy. So who's behind the efforts in your area in Charlotte? Can you point to Pacific groups?
00:41:00
Speaker 2: And by the way, when we're done, I got to go get my ice scraper and then return it to home depot.
00:41:06
Speaker 1: But who's behind your opposition?
00:41:10
Speaker 7: Well, I would say that it's it's the education system itself. For instance, here in Wake County. Wake County is now the largest school district in the state of North Carolina, and our superintendent was encouraging students to stay home and telling them that he would allow them to do online classes because they wanted. He wanted to protect them from ice. Well, this is the problem, and you kind of pointed to it a little bit when we talk about Obama. He started something called restorative justice, and restorative justice in a nutshell is you're not responsible for what you do. We have children that there are no behavioral standards, there is no standard code of ethics in our classrooms. It's just absolute chaos. And what we're seeing is we're doing the same thing that these people left their countries to flee from. Right when you talk about people's asigned on what were they leaving. They were leaving danger, they were leaving lawlessness, they were leaving chaos. And now we have that not just in our schools, but in our entire communities. Because this is just a symptom of a bigger problem. It's this is not just our schools that are being impacted. This is our hospitals, this is our highways, this is our courtrooms because we cannot handle the millions of people that are here that the Left invited here not to become Americans. They're just here to get the benefit of the generosity of America, and we are the ones that are paying the price for that. And our students and our children and the next generation are not going to have the opportunities. They're not going to have the nation that we grew up in. And that's why it's time to crack down. This has been years of just letting lawlessness go. And as I said when I was on Steve's show last week, you know, corrections are difficult, and we are having to correct something that's been going on for nearly twenty years in promising people that they can come to our nation and that they don't have to do it legally. And it's time for that to stop. And it's time for them to go back home and to either come back legally or go back and change your nation and make it free. Go back. If you want to push against a government, why don't you go back to the government where you were born and make it be a nation where people would.
00:43:32
Speaker 1: Want to live.
00:43:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was going to say, you know, like Mamdannie's stupid speech on election Now he plays this cool guy. I'm a cool I play soccer and he relates to the young kid, and then on he looks like Jay Grivera on an election night saying that you know, the immigrants are going to rise up and take power, like he's talking to a lithium mine with teenagers in the Congo or something, and that the immigrants are all oppressed in the United States. Well, any one of them has a better life in the United States than they did from their countries of origin. Why not lift them up and make them appreciate and similar By the way, I spent a lot of time a Way County. I was there an election night for the presidential election
last year, and I watched North Carolina shift right less Democrat votes more Republican votes. Early voters in the western part of the state, young people forty seven percent of the thirty six percent of the vote that are on affiliated we're leaning Republican, helped elect Donald Trump. So where do the I'll give you the last word a minute and a half. Where do the young people stand in our education system? Is there hope in North Carolina that we're going to have responsible kids coming out of the schools.
00:44:37
Speaker 7: Well, honestly, right now, I think you're going to have to be in a private school because right now the superintendent that one has actually been pushing the LGBTQ agenda. And as I stated, you know, just a few minutes ago, I have a lot of hope actually for the college students, the young people that were following Charlie Kirk that were a part of Point USA. They're getting it. They are figuring out that socialism is not the answer. They are recognizing what an incredible blessing it is to be a United States citizen. They are coming back to their faith in God and the foundational principles and the morality and the integrity that made us the greatest country in the history of the world. And I just want to say this, when we're talking about making America great again, the way that we do that is we make America America again, and we are going to be proud yet again to be citizens in this nation. And that's what we need to infuse into our children. That's what we need to be praising.
00:45:38
Speaker 2: Up one hundred percent in about thirty seconds. Teleview is where they can follow you and get involved.
00:45:44
Speaker 7: Well, you can finally me on most platforms at Michelle Morrow and C and or you can go to my website which is for Better Ed dot org. It looks like for Bettered, but it's f O R B E T T E r ed dot org.
00:45:58
Speaker 1: All right, what was What are you thankful for and Thanksgiving? This holiday?
00:46:04
Speaker 7: I am thankful to be in the United States, and I'm thankful that President Trump is our president.
00:46:09
Speaker 1: All Right. I'm Michelle Morrow. So great to meet you last year. I'm really proud of you.
00:46:13
Speaker 2: You've really taken on a big fight and a burden on behalf of the good people who are tired of being told they're the bad people. Michelle Morrow, everybody and I have a great weekend.
00:46:23
Speaker 7: Thank you, Thanks you too.
