We've taken action in regards to standing up for the LGBTQ community and individuals who require gender affirming care. We've taken action to protect your private information in the hands of Doge and Elon Musk. an unelected individual who has had access to your sensitive and private information.
We've stood up and ensured that the Office of Management and Budget has not unfrozen funds, funds that focus on our health care and on child care. on essential services, protecting our veterans, protecting the 9-11 Health Fund, protecting Head Start.
And the list goes on and on and on, protecting seniors against the closing of social security offices and making sure that offices are fully staffed so that they could provide an address and respond to the needs of New Yorkers and Americans. Government is not the demon. Government is there to serve the public.
And it's really critically important that unfortunately, this administration, the federal administration, has turned government on its head and made it an enemy of the state. It is not. I entered into public service because I recognize the powers of government. And that government should be there. And it is and has always been a force for good.
And for those reasons, I am defending the United States government, defending them against these illegal and unlawful acts by this president.
Thank you and congratulations on your, you've got the, listen, the Webby Award. Absolutely amazing. Podcaster of the Year. Go, Ben! Yay!
I want to squeeze in one more topic. There's news here in New York that deals with Letitia James, tried to prosecute the now President Trump in his second term. I just want to read a couple of things. Criminal referral, then a response from James's office here. in New York.
James, for both properties listed above, this deals with real estate now, going back decades, really, appears to have falsified records in order to meet certain lending requirements and receive favorable loan terms. All right. Her office responded by saying the A.G. James is focused every single day on protecting New Yorkers.
Specialist administration weaponizes the federal government against the rule of law and the Constitution. She will not be intimidated by bullies no matter who they are. The issue here is what property she owned and whether or not she owned it, whether or not she was married and whether or not her father was involved in all this without going into the weeds of the details.
This stems from a case in 1983 and the year 2000. That's a minimum of 25 years. Someone had to do some digging to find this. Am I right about that? Yeah.
Yeah, so first of all, thank you so much for allowing me to be on your podcast. I really appreciate it. You know, listen, we brought the case against Donald Trump, who was then a civilian, because he inflated his assets for the purposes of taking advantage of low interest rates and insurance rates. You know, he engaged in this pattern and practice of illegality.
And it was following a two-year investigation after hearing individuals' witnesses before a hearing. And so he would like to allege that it was politics, but it really wasn't. It was based on facts and the rule of law. And so we were able to secure a summary judgment. And then after a hearing, we secured a judgment and the interest rate continued to go up
And we are awaiting at this point in time a decision from the appellate division of the state of New York. And now what he is doing is causing more chaos, confusion and contempt, contempt for the law, contempt for individuals who work each and every day to serve our government, contempt for Congress.
Republican members have just rolled over and allowed Elon Dusk and his musketeers, obviously, to gain access to our private and personal information. He's throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks. And it's basically a brazen attack on a democratic system of government. And so I've got a duty and obligation to defend the rule of law.
I took an oath to the constitution and not to the king. And that's what we are doing each and every day. It was not my intention to resist.
But it is my intention, obviously, to ensure that the rights and privileges of New Yorkers are respected and to use the law both as a sword and as a shield, particularly to protect vulnerable and marginalized populations and individuals who tell me their stories each and every day about losing their job, individuals who are afraid about Social Security, individuals who are veterans, law enforcement individuals, and people who are afraid
Listen, when Donald Trump ran for office, he promised Americans that he would lower the cost of eggs and consumer products. He indicated that he would stop the war, bring peace in the war for Ukraine. He would stand up. and bring peace to that situation. He would end the conflict in Israel and Gaza. He said a whole bunch of things.
He said our markets obviously would be strong and that we would, and he would make America first. And nothing could be further from the truth. Elon Musk has said it's all about corruption and waste and fraud. They've indicated that individuals who are over 100 and some odd years are getting Social Security. It's just lies. Americans were duped. They fell for it.
And the reality is, is that we're looking at Trump. We're looking at inflation. We're looking at the price of eggs go up. Our markets have been falling today. The reality is, is that he has befriended Putin. He has weakened NATO and he has abandoned Ukraine. because he supports and he likes strongmen. It's all a bunch of lies.
And then, you know, he believes in a Unitarian type of government where all of the power is in his hands and not democracy. And so our system of government, the power of the purse belongs to Congress, and he is attempting to ignore that. He's calling upon members of the judiciary, saying that he is going to I bring them up on charges and try to, you know, go after these judges.
