Andrew Cuomo Microdoses the Red Pill
(00:00.77)
I don’t believe this one. Andrew Cuomo, former, he worked under Clinton Housing and Urban Development. Do you know that Andrew Cuomo, most people don’t know this, he was the guy behind all of the adjustable rate mortgage nonsense and the no documentation, no money down mortgages that led to the financial crisis. That started, he got that ball running.
under the Clinton administration. Anyway, and he was also governor of the state of New York. Will, for fans of the Matrix movies, you know the first one, again, a classic scene where Morpheus meets Neo for the first time and asks him to, you know, take the red pill or the blue pill. Take the red pill, you’re gonna see the reality, okay? You’re gonna see the forest for the trees. You’re gonna see the Matrix. How far does the rabbit hole go, right?
Take the blue pill, you go back to your old life, your reality, that is what it is. Well, Andrew Cuomo, I’m not saying he took a full red pill, but he microdosed. He most certainly microdosed on this one. He penned a piece in the Wall Street Journal talking about the migrant crisis. Now we all call it the illegal immigration crisis.
Again, this is why I’m talking, he microdosed. He’s not that far yet. The migrant crisis and the urban death spiral. And he writes, he said, cities are organic entities, they have life cycles, they can thrive and grow or suffer and shrink. As Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, I learned this firsthand. Detroit wasn’t always the Detroit of today. San Francisco today is different from San Francisco 10 years ago.
New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago aren’t what they were 20 years ago. It’s time we opened our eyes to reality. Many cities are going backward.
(02:06.602)
Again, again, this is Andrew Cuomo saying this about our nation’s biggest and bluest cities. Now again, many cities are not going backward. Just left Tampa. Boomin’, Miami, boomin’. Many national boomin’. I go on and on and on. There are plenty of cities that are not going backward. But again, he’s talking about this urban crisis and he’s talking
about the fact that rising homelessness and crime and taxes, Andrew Cuomo citing taxes as another thing, dealing with reality here and why cities are less inviting. And he goes on, and this is the major point of his article. The tipping point for some cities may be the migrant crisis. As an example, New York’s mayor, Eric Adams, announced a massive
budget deficit caused largely by an estimated $10 billion migrant cost. The deficit requires a reduction in city services, because that’s what everybody in New York wants. They want less police officers and less sanitation workers. We want more crime and a dirtier city. Sounds great. Anyway, he says it’s an absurd development that cities across the country are being made to shoulder the operational burden.
and financial cost of managing the migrant population. There’s no legal, moral, or practical explanation. Congress writes the immigration laws and the federal executive branch sets policy. It has created this crisis. To ignore the consequences is a total abrogation of Washington’s responsibility. Okay, this is why I say he microdosed. He didn’t take the full pill. Andrew, Andrew. Buddy.
Buddy, listen, you guys in these blue states and these blue cities were jumping up and down, jumping up and down, telling everybody how awesome you were and how you were sanctuary cities and sanctuary cities and how you said you wouldn’t help. No, no, you refused to help the federal government round up illegals, enforce the rule of law. You said, no, we’re not gonna do it. You told them no, dude, come on, man.
(04:33.646)
Come on, I know, I know many people have a short memory. I’m not one of them. I’m not one of them, okay? So you’re full of it, man. You are, you invited them here. And this, again, it’s a part of the liberal mindset, that there’s no logic or reason and they don’t understand the consequences of what they say and do in their actions. You can’t have everything.
Can’t have everything. What I like all of a sudden for our illegal immigration problem to be solved and for us to have a system in place where we needed all of these illegals that were coming in, they become legal, they become citizens, they learn a language, they assimilate. Absolutely, that would be great, but that’s not happening. That, my friends, is not going on.
You wreck, you overwhelm a system, you wreck the system, you wreck everything, you make life for everyone worse. You make it horrible for everyone if you cannot tackle the problem. Like I said, it’d be great if you can handle it, but we can’t do that because again, we have limited amounts of dollars, as you can see. The federal government doesn’t even wanna spend on this and they’re forcing you to. They need to…
to make a decision between a couple of things, to make a compromise, to have a trade-off. Now, it’s Washington, they don’t do that. Anyway, he’s going on and saying the federal government needs to disperse all of these migrants fairly and equitably around the country. Right, right, I’m sorry. Man, these states, they didn’t call for this. They didn’t want this. They didn’t, they didn’t.
you know, put out a sign saying that we’re so star-spangled, awesome, we’re better than everybody else, we’re a sanctuary city. They didn’t beat their chests like that. Why should they? Why should they? The system in place doesn’t work. And again, the federal government doesn’t have the money either. We’re 33 trillion plus in debt. 33 trillion plus.
(06:49.93)
And again, they’re going back and forth on this immigration reform now, trying to get a trade off in regards to funding for Ukraine and Israel and whatnot. And again, it’s a false choice. It is a false choice. We let the doors open, we don’t enforce the rule of law. We haven’t enforced the rule of law. I mean, honestly, we haven’t enforced the rule of law since Reagan came up with that compromise. Barack Obama basically said,
(07:20.362)
So, Andrew, I mean, I appreciate you starting to see the forest for the trees, but you might want to take the other half of that pill. Watchdog on wallstreet.com.
