Victor Davis Hanson

I'm not going to touch you.

But.

I want to know if you're going to support me and be on my team and shut up or give money.

And there will be a lot of people who will be co-opted.

I predict it.

That's exactly what happened in Cuba and Venezuela.

It's happened in Colombia.

And any time a socialist takes over a communist, the first thing he does, they did that in the Bolshevik, they go to the aristocracy or what they call the oligarchy, and they start to cut deals.

And these stupid people think they'll be protected or exempted by

doing business with the city, or he'll say, I'll give you a contract with the city, or I won't enforce this city tax on your firm or something like that.

And that's what he's counting on, I think.

That's why he knows a lot are going to flee, but he also knows that he's talking to a lot of very, very wealthy people in New York that don't want to leave.

And he's saying, if you don't want to leave,

I can make it easy for you, but you're going to have to play ball with me, and there's going to be recompense for it rather than punishment.

And I bet you'll see a lot of people, and they're always deluded because in the end they always get it eventually.

That's what happened in Russia.

That's what happened in China.

That's what happened in Cuba.

That's what happened in Venezuela.

You cannot deal with these people, and yet there'll be people in New York who think they can, and Mondami, I think, is counting on that.
