IT’S 82 DEGREES RIGHT NOW IN NEW
YORK CITY.
STAYING IN THE CITY, IT IS
STRUGGLING TO HOUSE THE BUS
LOADS OF MIGRANTS WHO HAVE BEEN
ARRIVING FROM TEXAS ON A DAILY
BASIS.
NEW YORK CONGRESSWOMAN NICOLE
MALLIOTAKIS IS HERE.
CONGRESSWOMAN, GOOD MORNING TO
YOU.
WHAT DO YOU THINK SHOULD BE DONE
WITH THE MIGRANTS ARRIVING IN
THE CITY?
>> WELL, FIR OF ALL, I THINK WE
NEED TO STOP IT AT THE ROOT OF
THE PROBLEM, WHICH IS WE NEED TO
SECURE OUR BORDER.
WE NEED TO RE-INSTATE REMAIN IN
MEXICO AND GIVE THE CVP THE
TOOLS THEY NEED TO CONTROL THE
BORDER AND NOT GIVE IT UP TO THE
DRUG CARTELS AND HUMAN TRAFFIC
TRAFFICKING AND DRUG TRAFFICKING
AND THAT’S WHERE THE PROBLEMS
RELY AND BE SOLVED AND HOWEVER,
IF I WERE THE MAYOR, I’D BE
QUIETBEQUITE FRANKLY CALLING ON
PRESIDENT TO STOP MADNESS AND
SEND THEM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
WHERE WE DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY
ARE AND WHAT THEIR INTENTIONS
ARE.
MANY OF THESE PEOPLE, LIKE MY
PARENTS, ARE COMING FOR A BETTER
LIFE AND THAT’S FINE.
THE TAXPAYERS CANNOT BE ON THE
HOOK TO PAY FOR THEIR HOUSING,
EDUCATION, AND HEALTHCARE.
HERE IN NEW YORK, OUR GOVERNOR
HAS CHOSEN TO PUT HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS ASIDE TO
SUPPORT THESE INDIVIDUALS WITH
FREE HEALTHCARE, BENEFITS THAT
EVEN SOME OF OUR SENIOR CITIZENS
DON’T RECEIVE.
ON TOP OF THAT, THE MAYOR WANTS
TO SPEND MONEYS OF MILLIONS MORE
TO HOUSE THEM WHEN WE HAVE OUR
OWN HOMELESS CRISIS THAT WE NEED
TO DEAL WITH, EVEN VETERANS THAT
NEED HOUSING AND SENIORS THAT
CAN AFFORD HOUSING THEY’RE IN.
ASHLEY: YOU KNOW, ALSO GALLING
IS THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS
REPORTEDLY THE ONES PAYING TO
BUS THE ILLEGAL MIGRANTS TO NEW
YORK.
AN OFFICIAL IN EL PASO SAYS
THEY’RE USING FEMA FUNDS TO FOOT
THE BILL AND THEY’RE TAKING
MONEY AWAY FROM FEDERAL
EMERGENCY AGENCY AND USING IT
FOR THIS.
THAT’S JUST A DOUBLE SLAP;
RIGHT?
>> IT IS A DOUBLE SLAP AND MY
DISTRICT OF STATEN ISLAND FROM
IDA AND SO MANY CLAIMS WERE
DENIED BY FEMA AND TAX PAYING
AMERICANS NOT GETTING THE
ASSISTANCE THEY NEED TO GET
THEIR HOUSING BACK IN THE WAY IT
WAS PRE-HURRICANE AND THEY’RE
SEEING THIS NOW.
IT IS A SLAP IN THE FACE AND OUR
GOVERNMENT’S PRIORITIES ARE JUST
SIMPLY BACKWARDS.
ASHLEY: YEAH, I AGREE.
GOT TO GET INTO THIS ISSUE, THE
GOVERNOR OF NEW YORK, KATHY
HOCHUL IS BEING SLAMMED FOR
TELLING REPUBLICANS GET OUT OF
TOWN.
LISTEN TO THIS AND I WANT YOUR
COMMENT.
>> WE’RE FIGHTING TO BRING
GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE PEOPLE
AND OUT OF THE HANDS OF
DICTATORS.
WE’RE HERE TO SAY THAT THE ERA
OF TRUMP AND ZELDON AND
MALINARO, JUST JUMP ON A BUS AND
HEAD DOWN TO FLORIDA WHERE YOU
BELONG, OKAY.
GET OUT OF TOWN.
CAUSE YOU DON’T REPRESENT OUR
VALUES.
YOU ARE NOT NEW YORKERS.
YOU’RE NOT NEW YORKERS.
ASHLEY: WELL, THAT’S QUITE
INCENDIARY AND COLUMNIST TWEETED
IN RESPONSE HOCHUL IS ATTACKING
GOP POLITICIANS AND GOP VOTERS
AND THIS IS NORMAL BEHAVIOR FOR
DEMOCRATS NOW.
I WOULD ARGUE, CONGRESSWOMAN,
THAT REPUBLICANS HAVE BEEN
GETTING OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE OF
HIGH REGULATIONS, HIGH TAXES,
HIGH CRIME.
THEY NEEDED TO GET TO FLORIDA TO
ENJOY MORE FREEDOM AND A BETTER
WAY OF LIFE.
WHAT SAY YOU?
>> IT’S NOT JUST REPUBLICANS.
IT’S DEMOCRATS, IT’S
INDEPENDENTS, AND THE GOVERNOR
RIGHT THERE IS SAYING THAT SHE
HAS NO INTENTION TO FIX A
SKYROCKETING CRIME.
SHE HAS NO INTENTION TO FIX THE
HIGH TAXES AND NO INTENTION OF
STOPPING THE RIDICULOUS
CONGESTED PRICING, $23 FEE TO
DRIVE INTO MANHATTAN AND NO
CONCERN TO PUT AMERICANS AND
CITIZENS FIRST AND PEOPLE NEED
TO VOTE FOR LEE ZELDON IF THEY
WANT A CHANGE AND THREE QUARTERS
OF AMERICANS SAY PUBLIC SAFETY
IS THEIR MAIN CONCERN AND THEY
SHOULD NOT BE VOTING FOR KATHY
HOCHUL IN NOVEMBER.
ASHLEY: IT’S BEEN A TOUGH GO.
THE NUMBER OF DEMOCRATS FAR
OUTWEIGH THE NUMBER OF
REPUBLICANS BUT SOME OF THE
POLICIES AND THE DAMAGE THEY’VE
DONE, IS THIS GOING TO FINALLY
BE REFLECTED AT THE BALLOT BOX,
DO YOU THINK?
>> WELL, IT SHOULD BE.
AS I SAID, NEW YORKERS ARE
EXPRESSING ANGER THROUGH THE
POLLING FOR THE POLLICIS PUT IN
PLACE BY THIS GOVERNOR.
JUST THE FACT THAT SHE WANTS TO
CONTINUE TO SPEND THE TAXPAYER’S
MONEY ON CRAZY THINGS LIKE I
SAID, THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS FOR HEALTHCARE FOR
ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GIVING THEM
FREE TUITION FOR COLLEGE
ASSISTANCE AND STIMULUS PAYOUTS
BY A WAY THAT AMERICAN CITIZENS
DIDN’T EARN AND IF YOU’RE A
SINGLE MOTHER WITH THREE
CHILDREN, YOU RECEIVED NOTHING
TO EARN 90,000 FOR MORE AND IF
YOU WERE HERE ILLEGALLY, YOU
DIDN’T PROVE ANY INCOME AND ABLE
TO GET A CHECK FROM GOVERNOR
KATHY HOCHUL AND IT’S THE
BACKWARDS PRIORITY AND THERE’S A
REASON WHY NEW YORK’S BUDGET IS
TWICE THAT OF THE STATE OF
FLORIDA YET FLORIDA HAS MILLIONS
OF MORE RESIDENTS AND ZERO
INCOME TAX AND THAT’S WHY PEOPLE
ARE LEAVING AND NOT JUST
REPUBLICANS.
IT IS DEMOCRATS AND INDEPENDENTS
AND PEOPLE OF ALL PARTY STRIPES
THAT WANT REASONABLE GOVERNMENT
AND NEW YORK IS ONE OF THE
STATES THAT LOST THE MOST
POPULATION LAST YEAR AND
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF NEW
YORKERS HAVE FLED.
ASHLEY: CONGRESSWOMAN NICOLE
MALLIOTAKIS CONTINUING TO FIGHT
THE GOOD FIGHT HERE IN NEW YORK.
WE THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS
