All righty, hello, and everyone, welcome to it.

It is the 27th of June.

It's Friday already.

Welcome to it. I'm Derek Hunter. This is the Derek Hunter

podcast. Got a lot of things I want to get to today. I've covered pretty extensively the bombing

and the bombing and the media of Natasha Bertrand. So I'm not going to recover that ground.

But there are other things I want to talk about.

First, I want to play a little bit of Zoran Mondani, talking about what his priority is going to be as mayor of New York should he win.

It's not a foregone conclusion.

The more I think about it, the more distance I get past and all the pissed offness that I get

at the Democrats, the further I get away from that, the more I think it's possible, and I think

it would be better if he loses to Adams.

I still can't envision a world where Curtis Lewell wins. I just can't. But I can't envision a world

where Mayor Adams wins re-election because this guy is a nut. Here's his priority for what he wants to do as

mayor of New York City.

I've proposed is that we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda

and start to trump-proof our city because we know he'll use federal funding as leverage over this city.

And we will do so in two key ways.

The first is to match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of New Jersey.

We are at 7.25%. They're at 11.5%. Corporations can pay it over there. They can pay it over here.

And the beauty of it is that it doesn't just apply to corporations headquartered in New York

because when you say this, people will say, well, they're going to go to Florida.
