CUNY speech of hatred.

0:00 Speaker 1 What is today is a former governor David Pattison tell us what the heck is going on for the week and what he’s he likes and what he dislikes. Governor Patterson give us him update for the week.

0:13 Speaker 2 Well, John, I think the theme of the week is that the Republican presidential candidates are coming into the race, like Governor Christy and Ronda Santis and President Trump had a town meeting the other night and he was saying that these are the most serious times in our country.

0:34 And I think everybody would agree with that. But my problem is I don’t think too many people being serious about a problem that really is. So let’s take the migrant issue right now. You’ve got migrants. At one point, Governor Abbott’s and a busload of migrants to New York City, and all those colleagues cheered for him, particularly the Republican

0:54 county executives around New York State. Then when the migrants started getting shipped to there areas, they objected to it and tried to go to court to try to stop it. And we just cannot have a society that’s that hypocritical. Now, one of another group that I think is quite hypocritical was where are the democratic socialists? They always think that

1:18 everything should be divided evenly, all the salaries should be exactly the same, But they don’t seem to think that the migrants should be in all parts of the state, because none of them has stood up for what would really be a reasonable solution that we take the number of migrants, divide them equally and try to put them

1:36 in the areas around the state so that it divides the difficulty of actually doing it. They haven’t said a word why because they know that their constituents aren’t interested in having the migrants there any more than anyone else’s.

1:50 So I think it’s a popo ree of of hypocrisy that’s going on right now at a time when we really need to get serious. There are a lot of companies you wouldn’t believe this john that have operated around the world setting up these camps for migrants. For instance, right now, in the country of Iraq, the summers are

2:15 so hot that people can’t really live there, and they’re migrating out of the country into other places, and they’re companies that actually are hired to actually place them, which is kind of fascinating. We can do that here as well.

2:29 There are a number of companies that have done this before. But the problem, as I see it, is these camps that you can set up or putting them into hotels can only be temporary. It’s going to take a year and a half before there’s a determination of whether or not they can get asylum, and by then they’re either

2:50 going to be so entrenched that you can’t find them anymore, or you’re going to have a situation where now you’re turning number of people away after they were here for a period of time, So you’re basically sending them back to countries where they have absolutely no contact where they did right before they came here. So as a it’s

3:13 a difficult situation. I think there are ways to handle it, but I think we’re going to have to work together and stop pointing the finger at each other.

3:23 Speaker 1 Understood, But can we afford it? I mean in the papers the other day on Thursday in New York, there was that the city was looking for seven hundred and fifty more migrant sites. I mean seven hundred and fifty more migrant sites, and you go broke before you may you find them.

3:41 Speaker 2 We can’t pay for john that there isn’t the money out there to actually do that, and the I think the mayor realizes it. He’s doing his best to try to keep everybody’s head above water at this particular time.

3:56 But like I said, it’s being put together as if it’s only going to be for two or three months, and if that was a temporary solution, we could do it.

4:06 Speaker 1 Nobody nobody, nobody’s gonna nobody’s gonna export these people. Nobody’s gonna chase them away. These these people are coming in and they’re permanent people. I mean, you know, at what point does the president say enough is enough?

4:22 Speaker 2 I don’t know, but it could be a year and a half to two years before there’s a determination made about the asylum, or a new president by that time, or a new president. But by that time, many of them would be so intrenched. Should be hard to get them out.

4:38 Speaker 1 You’ll never get them out, I’ve never seen you know, you’re talking about tens of thousands of people, you know, seventy thousand New York so far.

4:48 Speaker 2 I mean, that’s a lot of people. And it’s going to really become an encumbrance on the agencies and the workforce and and the people who live in the city trying to have quality of life. All of that is going to be impacted. And this is just a this is a solution where there was no plan, and there

5:15 was no plan for this. There’s never been any guidance from the federal government telling the states, or the counties or anybody else how to handle this, or even making the resources available to do it.

5:27 Speaker 1 I Governor Patterson, and we know each other for a long time. I just I scratched my head. I don’t know why this is happening.

5:38 Speaker 2 Well, that makes two of us.

5:40 Speaker 1 John, I’m concerned. I’m concerned for our country. You know, a country is only a country if it has borders. And nobody’s breaking in to get into Cuba, nobody’s breaking into get into Venezuela, nobody’s breaking in to get into Russia or China. But that they admire the American way of life and they want to come here and change

6:08 our way of life. And I’m concerned for us, our citizens and our people.

6:14 Speaker 2 Well a lot of them truly want to come here and be part of our society and be contributors, and they want to work and they want to be a part of it. But it’s not possible to just walk in and be able to do that. There’s been no discussion about work authorizations being expedited so that the people

6:34 can work. And so what feral government has basically said to all the states is they’re coming in and you deal with it. But you know stupid.

6:43 Speaker 1 I mean, I believe, and I think both of us believe in immigration, but we have to have some checks and balances. We want to make sure we don’t get other people’s jail people. We want to make sure we don’t get any terrorists, We want to make sure we don’t get any any people that hate America, and that’s

7:03 just coming here change our lives now.

7:06 Speaker 2 Well, well, the number of people who are coming in increasing almost logarithmatically. It would be impossible that some of them would not be terrorists or criminals or just people if they had gone through a process would not have had the right to come here. And the worst thing about it is that no one really knows where the

7:29 leadership is to try to solve the problems of these solutions. And even in the geopolitical world, John, there is karma. So I think continuing to let people come in it’s an injustice to them as much as it is to the people that live in this country. There’s going to be a point where it starts to become antagonistic and

7:50 perhaps even violent. It could be that bad.

7:54 Speaker 1 Governor Pattison, thank you for coming on, and let’s pray for New York. Fuck, let’s pray for America and God bless you and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

8:06 Speaker 2 Well, thank you, John. You did a real nice segment with GRAVII fantastic about the meaning of prayer and the belief of God. And there was no better time to have done it than you did. I believe it was last Thursday.

8:19 Speaker 1 Thank you so much. Take care,
