\"Listen<\/a><\/p>\n

RUSH: I\u2019ve got a picture here of Mayor Doomberg and Amanda Burden (who used to date Charlie Rose), who was the daughter of “Babe” Paley.<\/p>\n

She is some head honcho in New York City, city planning, commissioner planning, whatever, some bureaucracy. They\u2019re walking on a floor plan of 200- and 300-square-foot apartments that New York residents are going to live in. Affordable housing in New York has become a 200- to 300-square-foot trash receptacle to be piled on top of each other in high-rise apartments. It is a jail cell. But here\u2019s the thing. <\/p>\n

They\u2019re doing it to make it affordable, and they\u2019re doing it \u2019cause Doomberg says (summarized), “Nobody needs any more space than that. Nobody\u2019s home anyway. All you do at home is sleep there, and we need affordable housing.” I couldn\u2019t help but think, “This is what liberalism has gotten us. This is exactly where they\u2019ve taken us.” Their own policies have created this. You know, they talk about the “income inequality” and the “unfairness” and the disparity of the haves and the have-nots in New York City.<\/p>\n

Who has been running that city for all this time? Who has created the underclass in this country? It\u2019s the Democrat Party. The American left has created the underclass. The Democrat Party needs an underclass. They need a permanent underclass to vote for them. The Democrat Party needs then. That\u2019s why they\u2019re so interested in illegal immigration, because as people… It doesn\u2019t happen so much anymore now with the Obama economy, but people used to move out of the middle class. <\/p>\n

There was upward mobility in America, and, as people moved out of the middle class, the Democrat Party needed new people to move into it. That\u2019s not so much a problem anymore because there isn\u2019t all that upward mobility out of the middle class, particularly in towns run by liberals. So left to their own devices, look at the absolute horror show that liberals make and create for humans to live in. <\/p>\n

Take your favorite city that has been run by Democrats and liberals for all these years and it speaks for itself, and now the solution to affordable housing and not enough room is a 300-square-foot apartment, a bunch of \u2019em in one building, meant for families with kids, with foldable furniture — and they\u2019re patting themselves on the back for coming up with this idea. The economic circumstances for the majority of Americans plummet when liberals get their way.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then they end up creating these massive problems, and then they come to town with their own solutions to problems they have made and created, and it\u2019s just utter disaster. (interruption) You\u2019re right, Snerdley. These are no bigger than jail cells. Doomberg\u2019s got three or four mansions, not just the one in Bermuda. Anyway, de Blasio\u2019s gonna fix that. He said (paraphrase), “We\u2019re not gonna wait! We\u2019re just gonna do it now. We\u2019re gonna get rid of this income inequality and we\u2019re gonna make sure that there\u2019s fairness.”<\/p>\n

This is gonna be hilarious to watch from afar. It\u2019s not gonna be fun for people that live there, but it\u2019s gonna hilarious to watch from afar.<\/p>\n

I have never been happier to have been out of the place for a host of reasons. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Back to de Blasio in New York. We\u2019ve got some sound bites of the inauguration. John Fund of National Review was there and wrote a little bit about it. The keynote was provided by well-known communist and communist sympathizer Harry Belafonte, and I don\u2019t say that laughingly or joking. He is a pro-communist. He\u2019s 86 and has a history of extremism. He\u2019s been a houseguest-of-Fidel Castro. <\/p>\n

You might remember that Harry Belafonte called Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice “house slaves” of the Bush administration. Last year, he compared the Koch brothers to the Ku Klux Klan. So that\u2019s the guy doing the keynote at the inauguration of the new mayor, Bill de Blasio. He said, “We will be no longer a divided city.” He compared today\u2019s New York to a “Dickensian nightmare,” as in Charles Dickens, as Mayor Doomberg sat there looking on stone faced, because these people ripped in.<\/p>\n

All the de Blasio people, all the speakers just ripped into New York as it is, and Bloomberg is sitting there on the dais as the outgoing mayor and he\u2019s stone faced because he\u2019s being insulted left and right. At some point Bill Clinton got up to speak. He swore de Blasio in and then Clinton got up to speak and was the first guy to say something decent about Bloomberg, and the crowd booed. This crowd, the crowd that showed up to see the inauguration of de Blasio, folks, these are not just leftist Democrats.<\/p>\n

This is the extreme, far left of this country. One of the first things de Blasio said he\u2019s gonna do is eliminate the horse-drawn carriages in Central Park. Just gonna get rid of \u2019em. And not just in Central Park, but everywhere. He\u2019s just gonna wipe out the hroses. Why do you think that is? Why do you think the new mayor of New York is going to get rid of the horse-drawn carriage? Now, keep in mind, keep in mind that these people believe that automobiles are responsible for destroying the planet. <\/p>\n
