I mean, service, this is the issue.
1:08:30
Right?
1:08:30
We had to stop the part of his tires, Patriot's tires.
1:08:33
We had to stop the cheating on points through woke crap such as like, oh, if you're military, you get more points on your record.
1:08:42
If you have a certain disability, you have workforce on your record, it's a bad disadvantage for anybody else.
1:08:48
I believe that all tends to be fair.
1:08:51
If we have I think about 30 like, 20, 25 people in this office right now, everybody should have the fair chance.
1:08:57
It shouldn't be because I'm I'm not military, but let's say, hypothetically, I'm a veteran.
1:09:02
I get more points off the jump than the regular person.
1:09:05
Oh, I have a disability.
1:09:06
I get more points off the of the job because of my person, or I came from another a certain community.
1:09:13
I get more points off the record because of the person, it isn't it's unfair.
1:09:17
So you got get rid of the the the extra point system and put it back to the low level field.
1:09:22
And you gotta stop this woke, I like to say, it's more affirmative type action type hiring.
1:09:29
It says, hey.
1:09:30
Look.
1:09:30
If you get the highest score on your test, you should be hired.
1:09:33
It should be because your African American or your Latino or your Asian or your LGBT, you get you get pushed on top of the list.
1:09:43
If you suck, if you if you suck on a test, you should get the lowest score on a test.
1:09:47
If you are the best on a test, You should get the best you should be on the top of the list.
1:09:51
It shouldn't be where it's like, if one guy get one guy get the highest score, but the other guy get a low score.
1:09:58
But because that person is black, or Latino or LGBT, the person that's LGBT or black Latino get put on top of the list because it's some affirmative acts of BS.
1:10:07
So we have to stop this stuff in all city agency testing because this is what's going on.
1:10:12
This is this is how our flex on the NY the New York State Police Department and the New York State Fire Department both EMS and both fire fire department because there's a lot of work hiring because they what they do is, let's say, you're black and you get a 55, and you're white, you get 93.
1:10:27
What they'll do, they put the black person like they got the 93 and they put the white person like they got the 55.
1:10:32
So you gotta stop this stuff.
1:10:33
You gotta stop the walk the woke point system.
1:10:38
You gotta stop this stuff.
1:10:39
