0:00 Ready? 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Larry Sharp. How are you, sir? You make sense. Oh my God, maybe I should vote. They're relying on voter apathy. to come to hear me speak, you have a lot of choices out there. You could be on Netflix, If you vote often, you usually vote because of fear. Bernie gave the left hope. The other two guys who are running in my election, they're totally establishment.

3:01 Well, it's almost always a guy that does it. It's a general rule, statistically. controversy, you don't have a left versus right paradigm. Do you really think that's what it is? But then why do they choose schools? firearm, if you want to in school, you may. If you're a teacher or administrator, if you want to, If you're all Democrats, no guns. Once there's no planning available, the school is no longer a soft target.

5:31 our children? It's not firearms. Lack of community, lack of purpose, and loneliness. He has a reason to live. Remember, this is a public suicide. If you have a reason to live and you think the right answer is to go do something, you don't kill yourself. If you New York State is showing you it's incorrect. but I want to bring it back to what you said earlier. You don't think they want to fix the

8:10 drugs which do have a in front of them doesn't mean anything. People have various reactions to various SSRIs and I'm concerned with happy New Yorkers and happy people. No, I don't think you're corrupt. Yes, absolutely. And you probably noticed that about 80% of all the people who are currently heroin addicts But what I'm saying is this is what I talk about often. or something like that, usually pain medication. But other things too. You're totally correct. This is a problem.

10:42 And that's not exaggeration. New York State was ranked 50th by Cato becomes governor? There'll be a Republican- Cuomo? Yes, correct. There'll be a Republican. He was very dismissive. Yes, he was. But prior to that, Republicans did win. How do you know? Yes. Close. With five people running, New York State's a plurality state. And how much time do we have here?

13:19 I already have the message. Right, Jesse Ventura in Minnesota For those of you old enough Cynthia Nixon made an error. weren't enough people who would have, if they wanted to hear her speak, would have voted. 5%, And she's going to lose. She'll do something like that. if you want to. So they'll create a party that says, I'm the working families party.

16:03 It's a very complicated process. I love the concept completely. I don't want to commit without knowing the technology. We're beating up Uber now. We had the hardest time getting the UFC into New York because of corruption. He was one of the main reasons that they were trying to make it illegal. Yes, which is why my slogan is A New New York. Most people who go to Florida go, oh, this is a mistake.

18:33 spent in other states. You have to change the root so you can make the branches actually die. are that these people are lonely and sad that it's public suicide Okay. How do you fix education? That doesn't mean you're a good or bad teacher. So when you say that standardized testing has testing, there's an effect on funding, In theory, that's true. So how do you revamp the system?

21:38 Just nothing but bad for too many students just sitting around doing nothing. They're working their ass off right now. Right. Because for the vast majority of students we wouldn't require 13th grade. So we send them anyway, Now you have five choices, and this is exactly to your point. kids who want to be in that prep school. You're the kid who's super smart. You want to become a scientist. You want to get a PhD. Awesome.

24:10 No worries. Should be 30-something for an average. and I'm sure you know people like this, Then they go build a house. I get that all the time. And what you just said is what I get all the time. If you ask the people in their 20s right now across this nation, you say, do you feel like an adult? You go to 20-somethings, over half will say, They'd have to make that choice at 16.

26:19 State has to pay for it. I think I got $100,000, like 10 years to use it. I know college is for me. And guess how much they're going to cost for two years? They make their mistakes at 16, 17, which is way better than 26 or 27, and maybe they But the people that are educating these people, how are they going to get paid? I'm going to get rid of a bunch of your administrators.

27:59 Did you do X? About $35 billion comes from the state. six administrators for every one or two teachers, enough by teaching students they don't No, no, no, no. Not every teacher. teachers. They're telling them how to teach, a group of 50 or however large the class is? There'll be some administrators. Hold on. No, I'm not saying be afraid. Not just that, but also having a mandate, like having a very strict curriculum that they have to teach these children.

31:05 When does centralized control make things all of a sudden better? Define centralized control meaning – It doesn't work. In education meaning what? In anything. When does centralized control make things all of a sudden better? I was. Don't do this. Somehow every American prior to 1980 went to school, There will be administrators. being covered that they feel are significant. Yes. Or a standardized test. Yes. You said that

32:43 So less administrators, but not an elimination of administrators. A convoluted way. Is that new? See, you're ready to go now. So there's a convolut there somewhere. I'm sure there is. I just haven't heard it. Me either. See? You're ready to go now. A lot. They'll be early adopters. It's not like you'll have less jobs there. But in New York State, they're all failing now.

34:35 So I win. So as school districts begin to have trouble, I will, without question, try to help them. I don't have to create a new one. This is an actual equation that works every single time. Very simple, simple equation. Personal freedom And that incentive is monetary success. Aren't the administrators essentially the bosses? It's a great question.

36:37 We start bringing parents on board. we make this work? What can we do? Well, who's actually in control is the PTA, right? The Parent larger, and then kids get less attention, that's not working and filling our kids and making us Fund a bad system? No, no. That's just philosophically wrong. What I'm trying to achieve here is to make change. your mother. They want to give you everything.

39:44 Yes, some will. No, that's not what I'm saying. Well, okay. Some might fail. That's what you're be fair with you. Not sure yet. This I'm unsure yet. But you feel like the way to fix the education system is to cut funding. Yep. I would agree with that. They're going to say, the system doesn't appreciate me. But your fix is to let them figure it out.

41:56 I'm saying I'm going to facilitate it because you know what I do? The school boards. I want students to be happier. and some kids won't learn AP chemistry. year suing New York State because they weren't happy with their kids getting services but not I'm not? Well, for a lot of people, they hear that you're going to take money away from schools. If you say this, what you're talking about

44:57 That's failing our state. I will fight my jailer, period. What I'm saying is I'm going to help facilitate that system. And to do that, we just going to let them go away. I'm not saying that. What I'm If you get more people to stay in New York State, you raise your revenue without having There'll be more people in the schools and more taxes. It's going to go under in 10 years.

46:37 Hey, teachers, build me a super And yes, it'll be me and other people. Sure. Love it. Yes, let's do that. Love the idea. You're asking details that are simple to fix when the time comes. I'm not doing a show. You four times said you're going to take money away from schools. But I just want to be clear about what you're saying, about what the actual plan is.

48:22 They're going to move from Pennsylvania and Massachusetts and want to be part of this system. They're going to see schools Again, it's how it works. With help. Right. I hope it's that fast. I actually mean that. That's correct. Of course there are. It's possible. It's over double Los Angeles. The actual city itself is eight and a half. would be insane.

51:35 First off, In New York State, ask your friend to braid your hair? You probably would, wouldn't you? Well, I think the idea would be that you wouldn't want someone to screw it up, so you'd want to make sure someone has insurance so that the consumer doesn't get ripped off. There's a difference between licensing and what you just said, which is insurance.

52:47 or dog walker insurance. you made the assumption, you have to have a license for vaping. Right, they do that. There's no safety involved the case in the vaping. It is. No, not at all. I don't think it is. I'm glad you brought this up. Health food stores. Like Whole Foods? Yeah, I said it because most people understand what I mean when I say that. Right, because there's no FDA approval for supplements.

56:01 Now, some people buy certain products because they believe in them. It's a standard. Look, here it is. That's exactly my point. 80% of all of our addicts, FDA approved drugs. So I want products to be safe, not controlled. these are the standards we believe are the appropriate standards to be safe. That's correct. No. How does it become kosher? I don't know.

58:52 third party independent testing. is it creates business. Yes, it does. It creates business. Third-party independent company. effective school system and they have a curriculum and a way of doing things that they could perhaps, Look, government isn't always wrong. You just stifle innovation. They're actually incentivized to make sure nothing goes wrong.

1:01:22 politics than I do. I know very little about it. It's funny. and then we pack up and move to North Carolina. It's great. I want to keep them all in New York. What I'm interested in is figuring out a way What does that mean? onto these commissions and boards and such. Now, he now is one step away, but he has raised over $800,000 for his campaign or a commission or an authority.

1:04:18 Any kind of development, yes, yes. Yes, let them decide. How about the local woman who thinks this is a great place for her to open up her new business? Right, but there's But I'm asking you if there should be some regulation. Like a school will be right next to a strip club. But if that's safety, I'm okay with that. Right. will there be no regulation? There are a lot of libertarians who probably heard that and went,

1:07:08 federal government dollars are going to go away, which means by this time, we're not Some people will not make a change, of course. It might take three years. education? I'll give you the best example You didn't have to. wound up doing things that didn't really work very well. of people because they were doing stuff they wanted to do. Now, did everyone take it? No.

1:09:33 I mean I have a friend who's a big executive at Google they make a This is not a parallel situation. It absolutely is. Let me tell you why this out. This is not a parallel situation. They get into it because they think it's a viable career path for them. Does everyone go there because they want to make tons of money? I don't think anybody's going to Google because they want to make a difference.

1:10:43 Some people go to Google. It's not the same thing. That's correct. That's why I'm asking you over and over and over again. That's what humans want. And most of them make piss poor money. I'm not sure how much you make. And then there's going to be less money for people that already get paid less than they should. You've never said it. They will. We're going to facilitate the way out.

1:13:54 question. It's an unfair question. I'm not asking you which particular human being to fire. I'm because they're both human. Let's start working on this now. Nothing. What do you think? That's how you fix a business. And I'm thinking, this is not They might. Keep your kids unhappy. We either leave or we take your option. We've been doing it for 20 years at least.

1:17:37 You'll keep it. What I'm doing right now. That's not what I said. That's what I hear. I'm just asking you questions about this. I understand. I would agree with you. and the teachers unions to figure this out or not the teachers union, but whoever it would be. Of course. No other, That's how you're funded. So everyone else wants the people that are doing the best to get more money.

1:21:12 They have the best tests. No, not doing the best. you can't measure that. Emotional intelligence. And I bring this up in my business up. You could judge them by having an actual rating system Well, I don't... I don't know if you know what that means. It's called a 360. I think these are all viable plans. I didn't say not taking tests. But not standardized tests.

1:24:35 And it doesn't necessarily decide what's important to the local kids or to the parents. Love the idea. District-wide? Yeah. What's wrong with that? That's a great idea. So it's standardized for Would you have schools that would be worse, testing. At high school, I'm fine with it. At that point, the kids are a bit more mature. Maybe I'm good for sciences.

1:27:00 Doing it in the youth doesn't do anything except make things bad. that would give our kids an upper hand and a better chance of success, I would happily take schools that would test things out And decide, is I'm talking about an actual revamp, a reboot of our education system. It's not collapsing. one third of Medicare with a bunch of unfunded mandates that force them to pay for certain

1:29:38 So now if they're not – Several things. there's no way we can do this require that money. Okay, deal. I got it. We can still raise it some other way. have an imperial bridge named after our royal family. That bridge should not be named that. Lease the naming rights out, right? So you call it the Verizon Bridge or something. Once he has the money, and they have to fix the bridge?

1:32:03 People already told me about it. and this is a common theme that you'll find Yeah. Concrete cancer. Is it a B? I like this idea. you know we are the toll monsters. Yeah. It's correct. Once they got addicted to that money of once the bridge was paid off? You got it. Yeah. Is it $100 every time they cross the bridge? That goes away. We already have Adopt-a-Highway.

1:34:09 We'll work on this one instead. Because I'm not giving out the contracts anymore. Yes, it is. I think just New York City, You can't drive unless you give us money. I'll take $4 billion off of that. No holes. money that people are paying on the tolls two billion dollars a year how do you replace that And the lock, these are for commercial boats? In theory, you will absolutely raise billions.

1:36:37 Right. what the parkway is called. The Verrazano Parkway. You porn highway. Well, look. They can do whatever they want. Right? If Google says I don't want to pay for it anymore, they lose the Google Road. That's correct, which is why you don't name the road. Do what you want with the other road. Okay. The subway plan right now, the answer is the same thing.

1:39:03 There are rail lines. Fix the lines. Of course, yes. Sometimes they say no They like it very much. Joe, you just came up with the reason why this is so important. I don't. You ever try that barbecue? The number one reason is I want to stay in New York. Okay. Why are you being bothered by the federal government? So if you deliver across the border, no.

1:41:38 The app would be the people who are actually doing delivery would be responsible. And it gives farmers a much greater incentive. And they're not. Onions. Like onions. I'm not joking. Like I want to regulate them like onions. Onions. Yes. No. No, but if I used cannabis, I would happily tell you. I think I talk even more. That's what happens. That makes me uncomfortable.

1:43:21 You've never done mushrooms? Got to be governor one day. Oh, even more crazy. I haven't been in the Bronx in many years. I have not. What kind of square are you, dude? What about right now? Odds are no. You own your body. If people are around drinking, I'll drink. So your focus for most of your life has been what? Yes. And I still have two months left.

1:45:22 There's a lot of that menopause money out there, bro. No mushrooms, though, huh? Then maybe. No, it's not. My whole point on cannabis and hemp is heavily because of farmers also, right? And the best thing is if you treat small farmers like small businesses, they can now specialize. But cannabis too because I want you to be able to create cannabis products.

1:47:06 I hope you can legalize marijuana because that'd be my assumption. But CBD if it's onions, you can grow it in your backyard. Right. big business cronyism, to smoke it. But there's many ways of taking advantage of both THC and CBD, which you prefer. It is legal in New York. And it's fantastic for people with arthritis. Well, one of the things that Ted likes is

1:48:59 NRA member has ever committed And it's really confusing. And then it's not helped by the fact that a lot of people that are NRA proponents get, you know, they dig their heels in the sand. the third party is the way. You can't win. You can't win, you can't win. The Republican cannot win because there's only about two and a half million Republicans in New York State and about six and a half million Democrats in New York State, give or take.

1:51:02 get rid of those polls and you win, bro. Great. It'll make better Republicans and better Democrats. Republicans, you're supposed to be about less government and Second Amendment and small business. You're not. What's wrong? And now the media hears me. Now people hear me. They have to Yes. That's all it is. who couldn't tell you one policy. Yes. That's true.

1:53:43 We have the marketplace where you can go buy insurance. And what people then heard was, oh, it's a free market. It's not a And the VA is a disaster. so what's happening now is all the best doctors shouldn't say all most of the best doctors don't They can go, look, you're going to have to pay me. But my wife won't go on Obamacare. take insurance. When it's five doctors in that office, two administrators. You show up like,

1:55:57 healthcare because the healthcare It's horrible. It's how they get paid. ask you things that matter, like how are you eating? writing them a check anyway. They're getting their enough money to pay for that are saying, well, I want that kind of care. and I want it to be federally funded. Is that possible? And the best example I can give you is non-emergency or non-critical care, things like LASIK eye

1:57:58 It was per eye. And can it work? doctors that are coming out of it. You break your leg, you're going to be taken care of. The system itself is broken. And it's not based on how much it costs to make aspirin? Perfect example. And that's a problem in itself. So you come to me, and clothes and everything you got. I came to your store. Here's what I'm going to do.

2:00:32 you have to pay. Right. All right. Young Jamie. I have deemed as the insurance company that this actually is worth 50 cents. And gives you 50 cents. Well, you want to sell the water to him. Transparency, transparency, transparency. If you sell medical services like any other service, to fix the car. They give you an estimate. The current system people are starting to use now is what I call the Costco model, which is basically a membership model, right?

2:03:17 $5 per visit, that's all. That would be awesome, right? Right. Well, what happened is as long as they can help you, they help you. We have long-term care insurance, right? So they are eligible for free school lunch in New York State. You'll have more options and choices for insurance. do that in New York State. That's the thing the government, the state government really can't do

2:06:28 They're very revolutionary. If I don't win. That's it? wants to show up or not that's it yes and what he does is he says follow my rules and i'll show up All four people showed up. And we could promote that. That's literally what he says. he's fucked running for president. For president as a Democrat. Yeah. Because I'm right now the most popular guy running who has an L by his name.

2:09:10 So I'm trying to build the brand out We'll literally be a better nation, there. What you heard, what your audience amazing. Please do that. It'd be awesome. But if people don't hear me, if I don't get out there, come back. That was great.
