How The Democrats Lost Control Of New York

NEW YORK STATE SHOULD BE ONE OF THE SEVEN STATES THAT IS
DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED.
MEANING THE STATE HOUSES, THE STATE SENATE AND THE
LEGISLATURE, AND THE GOVERNOR ARE ALL DEMOCRATS, SO THEY
SHOULD BE PASSING SWEEPING LEGISLATION.
THAT'S WHAT VOTERS VOTED FOR.
EXCEPT, NEW YORK IS ALSO A TRICKY PLACE.
THERE ARE SOME LITTLE GAMES HAPPENING, AND H DEMOCRATS, AND
ANOTHER DEMOCRAT WHO WAS NOT PART OF THIS CONFERENCE, THEY
DECIDED TO SPLIT OFF AND JOIN REPUBLICANS, AS ELECTED
DEMOCRATS COMING FROM OVERWHELMINGLY DEMOCRATIC
DISTRICTS, AND THEY ARE WORKING WITH REPUBLICANS.
THEY FORMED THIS THING CALLED THE INDEPENDENT DEMOCRATIC
CONGRESS.
WHAT DOES THAT DO?
THAT PREVENTS THE STATE SENATE FROM BEING CONTROLLED BY
DEMOCRATS, SO THAT MEANS THAT YOU CANNOT PASS A WHOLE LOT
OF PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION.
I'M SURE YOU A QUICK CLIP.
ALL IDC MEMBERS ñ
[ INAUDIBLE ]
ALL IDC MEMBERS --
LISTEN TO THE TOWN!
TELL THAT TO THE TOWN!
TOWNHALL!
TOWNHALL!
TOWNHALL!
[ INAUDIBLE ]
TO VOTE WITH EVERYONE ELSE, THAT'S AN EASY THING TO DO.
TO STAND UP AND SAY, HERE I AM AND I REPRESENT MY CONSTITUENTS
--
[ INAUDIBLE ]
YOU HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY, AND YOU ARE [ INAUDIBLE ].
GOOD FOR THAT GUY, RIGHT IN HIS FACE.
THAT WAS SENATOR PERALTA.
THE IDC HAS BEEN AROUND FOR ABOUT SEVEN YEARS NOW, BUT IT IS
GROWING IN SIZE, SO IT IS VERY HARD FOR DEMOCRATS TO RUN ñ
TO MAINTAIN CONTROL.
BUT THAT IS WHAT IS SO GREAT, YOU HAVE A VERY EXCITED
POPULATION OF VOTERS NOW, WHO ARE ENGAGED AND SHOWING UP
TO THESE TOWNHALL'S, WHO WERE NOT BEFORE.
A LOT OF THESE FOLKS DIDN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS, AND NOW
THEY ARE PAYING ATTENTION.
PEOPLE SAY, WELL WHAT IS IT?
WHY DO THEY WANT TO BE PART OF THIS CONFERENCE IF THEY KNOW
THEY ARE GOING TO GET PRIMARY'D?
THEY HAVE BIGGER OFFICES.
THEY HAVE A STAFF PERSON.
THEY GET TO INTRODUCE BILLS.
THEY GET MONEY TO BACK TO THEIR DISTRICT.
IT IS A CRAZY SITUATION.
AND YOU WONDER, WHY DOESN'T GET ñ
WHY DOESN'T GOVERNOR CUOMO INTERVENE?
TURNS OUT THAT HE LIKES THE IDC.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
SO, WHEN AND IDC DEMOCRAT MAKES A CORPORATE MOVE, SCREWS OVER
THE DEMOCRATS, CAUCUSES WITH REPUBLICANS AND HURTS WORKING
PEOPLE, THE REASON THEY ARE DOING THAT ISN'T BECAUSE OF AN
IDEOLOGY, THAT VOTE IS A DOWN PAYMENT ON A JOB WHEN THEY
LOSE, THAT'S WHAT IT IS.
WE HAVE A REVOLVING DOOR GOVERNMENT AND BUSINESS, AND THE
PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REGULATING, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
TOM DASCHLE USED TO BE CONSIDERED A LIBERAL, AND HE WAS
A LEADER OF THE DEMOCRATS IN THE SENATE, AND THEN HE LOST HIS
RACE, AND WHEN THEY WERE TRYING TO PASS OBAMACARE, HE CAME BACK
TO TOWN IN A LIMOUSINE WITH $2 MILLION IN HIS POCKET, AND HE
DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY ANYTHING EXCEPT WALK AROUND AND SAY TO
EVERYONE, I GOT $2 MILLION FROM HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY, IF YOU PASS
OBAMACARE WITHOUT A PUBLIC OPTION, YOU'RE GOING TO GET $2
MILLION TOO.
THEY ARE NOW WOLVES IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, JUST LIKE ALL THE
CORPORATE DEMOCRATS, SO THAT'S WHY I THINK THE IDC
DEMOCRATS ARE DOING THAT.
AND YES WHAT?
PEOPLE ARE CATCHING ON, AND WHY ARE PEOPLE CATCHING ON?
BECAUSE PEOPLE'S LIVES ARE SHITTY.
PEOPLE HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION OVER BUYING THEIR MEDICINE OR
SENDING THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL, OR THEIR KID IS UNDER A MOUNTAIN OF
DEBT JUST BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO GET EDUCATED SO THAT THEY COULD
GET A GOOD JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THAT'S WHAT
PEOPLE ARE STARTING TO CATCH ON, BECAUSE THEY ARE FEELING
THE PAIN, AND THEY ARE STARTING TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE
CORPORATISTS WHO HAVE BEEN SELLING THEM OUT SINCE BILL
CLINTON GOT ELECTED IN 1992.
AND SOME OF THE LEGISLATION THAT COULD BE PASSED, IF THE
SENATE WERE CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS AS THE VOTERS
WANTED, SINGLE-PAYER WOULD HAVE BEEN PASSED.
ACTUAL FREE COLLEGE EDUCATION.
IN NEW YORK STATE?
YES, IT WAS BEING PROPOSED.
SO WHERE DOES MARIO CUOMO --
ANDREW CUOMO?
I'LL GET TO THAT IN A SECOND, BECAUSE THIS IS FASCINATING, HOW
IT ALL TURNS INTO A PR MOVE FOR HIM.
YOU WOULD HAVE HAD ACTUAL FREE COLLEGE TUITION, NOT THIS
WATERED-DOWN VERSION THAT THEY ACTUALLY PASSED.
YOU WOULD HAVE CODIFIED ROE V WADE.
BIGELOW THE WORLD WE LIVE IN RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE SO MANY
RIGHTS THAT ARE UNDER ATTACK RIGHT NOW BY DONALD TRUMP, AND
NEW YORK STATE, THE BEACON FOR PROGRESS, THE EXCELSIOR STATE,
IF THEY COULD HAVE ACTUALLY CODIFIED ROE V WADE, THEN
WE WOULD HAVE PLANNED PARENTHOOD PROTECTED.
BUT BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT CONTROLLING THE SENATE,
YOU GET WATERED-DOWN VERSIONS OF BILLS, IF YOU EVEN GET
THEM, THAT ARE CHAMPIONED AS PROGRESSIVE, BUT IF YOU
LOOK AT THE DETAILS, THIS IS PROGRESSIVE WASHING,
BECAUSE GOVERNOR CUOMO WANTS TO CONTROL THE NARRATIVE.
SO, HE HAS BEEN CRITICIZED A SENSIBLY FOR WORKING WITH IDC.
THE HEAD OF THE IDC IS THIS GUY JEFF KLEIN, HE IS ON THE RIGHT,
CUOMO IS ON THE LEFT IN THE PICTURE BACK THERE, AND HE KNOWS
THAT IF HE CONTROLS WHAT LEGISLATION IS ACTUALLY PASSED,
IT'S BASICALLY TRIANGULATING, SO THAT HE CAN CONTINUE TO
KEEP RAISING MONEY.
ONE OF THE THINGS THEY DID NOT PASS IN NEW YORK WAS ETHICS.
THEY HAD THE WEAKEST CAMPAIGN LAWS, BUT IF THE CAMP ñ
IF THE SENATE WAS CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS, AS IT SHOULD BE, YOU
WOULD HAVE TIGHTER FINANCE LAWS, BUT WHO BENEFITS FROM THAT?
THE REPUBLICANS, OF COURSE, AND THE IDC, AND GOVERNOR CUOMO
WHO IS PLANNING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT.
HE IS SITTING ON ABOUT $20 MILLION BECAUSE HE IS RAISING
MONEY WITHOUT EPICS RESTRICTIONS.
HE IS THE LATEST VERSION OF CORPORATE DEMOCRAT.
HE IS LIKE COREY BOOKER IN A SENSE, HE PRESENTS AS A
VERY PROGRESSIVE GUY.
THEY KNOW ALL THE WORDS.
THEY PAY FEALTY TO DEMOCRACY, BUT THEN THEY GET IN BED
WITH HEDGE FUND MANAGERS, PEOPLE WHO WANT TO PRIVATIZE
EDUCATION, AND EVERYBODY ELSE; WALL STREET, COURSE.
THIS IS GREAT THAT YOU ARE ON THIS STORY, I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS
DOESN'T GET MORE COVERAGE ñ WELL, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT DOESN'T
GET MORE COVERAGE IN THE CORPORATE MEDIA, BECAUSE THE
CORPORATE MEDIA IS ON THE IDC'S SIDE.
I WONDER HOW MSNBC HAS COVERED THIS, I CAN'T STOMACH TO
WATCH THE CHANNEL ANYMORE.
IT'S CRAZY, BECAUSE MSNBC DOES TALK ABOUT LOCAL POLITICS, AND
RACHEL MADDOW GOES ON THESE RANTS ABOUT SOME CLAWS, AND
I'M SITTING THERE GOING, NEW YORK STATE, GOVERNOR CUOMO,
COULD BE ONE OF SEVEN STATES CONTROLLED BY DEMOCRATS.
IT'S THE LARGEST STATE IN THE UNION AND YOU ARE IGNORING
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
AND DON'T FORGET, CNN, HIS BROTHER IS ON CNN.
THERE'S A BUNCH OF CONTRIBUTORS ON CNN WHO HAVE OR DO WORK
FOR GOVERNOR CUOMO.
IT'S ALL A BIG FAMILY.
IT USED TO BE THAT GOVERNOR CUOMO WOULD PRETEND THAT HE
WASN'T REALLY ALIGNED WITH THE IDC, NOW IT SEEMS LIKE HE
DOESN'T EVEN CARE.
HE SAYS IN THIS QUOTE, "IT'S LIKE A MARRIAGE.
IF IT WORKS FOR YOU, IT WORKS.
I DON'T NEED TO JUDGE YOUR MARRIAGE."
WHAT MEALY MOUTH BULLSHIT THAT IS.
AND THEN, TALKING ABOUT THE EDUCATION THING HE PASSED.
THAT THING THAT PRESENTED IT WAS FREE COLLEGE FOR EVERYONE, BUT
IT WILL ONLY GIVE FREE COLLEGE TO FIVE OR 10,000 PEOPLE?
GOOD ALREADY ñ PEOPLE WHO COULD ALREADY AFFORDED, AND IT
DOESN'T PROVIDE ROOM AND BOARD.
THERE'S 1 MILLION DIFFERENT CLAUSES TO IT.
HE SAYS, "THIS WAS A GREAT GREAT PROGRESS OF A COMPLIMENT
THAT I THINK IS RIGHT AND MAKE SENSE FOR EVERYONE.
BUT IT'S PASSED BY THE SENATE, AND I THINK IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN PASSED IF IT WASN'T FOR THE IDC."
SO HE HAS GONE OUT THERE AND PRAISED THE IDC.
HE HAS BEEN CRITICIZED BECAUSE HE CONTROLS THE FUNDS OF
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, AND HE WASN'T USING THAT MARK ñ
THAT MONEY TO SUPPORT DEMOCRATIC SENATE CANDIDATES WHO ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE HIS PARTNERS.
HOW IS THIS MAN GOING TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT IN THIS WORLD WE
ARE LIVING IN TODAY?
HOW IS HE GOING TO BE THE ANTI-TRUMP?
RACHEL MADDOW WILL BRING JOHN RALSTON ON, THEY WILL SAY
HIS OPPONENT IS VIOLENT AND SEXIST.
THEY'LL REPEAT THAT AT CNN BECAUSE HIS BROTHER WORKS
THERE, AND THAT'S HOW ANDREW CUOMO BECOMES PRESIDENT, BECAUSE
THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA, ESPECIALLY ON THE LEFT, WILL LET US DOWN
AGAIN, AND TO TRY TO KNEECAP THE PROGRESSIVE RUNS AGAINST THEM.
