Council Member Vickie Paladino engages in a heated exchange with Jackson Chabot, questioning his background and challenging his expertise on New York City issues.

Paladino criticizes Chabot for being a 'newbie' to the city, having only lived there for 8 years.

  • Paladino asks about Chabot's place of origin (Cincinnati, Ohio) and compares its population to New York City's
  • The council member dismisses Chabot's perspective due to his relatively short time living in New York
  • The exchange becomes tense, with Paladino telling Chabot to 'take a back seat'

Where and how long have you lived in New York?
Charles Ny

Vickie Paladino
3:15:17
Excuse me?

Don't get smart.
3:15:23
Okay.
3:15:23
Okay.
3:15:24
Because I don't like it.

3:15:25
I was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.
Vickie Paladino
3:15:27
Cincinnati, Ohio.
3:15:28
Okay.
3:15:28
What's the population of Cincinnati, Ohio, my friend?
Jackson Chabot
3:15:32
These days, I think, is about 600,000.
Vickie Paladino
3:15:34
600,000 Correct.
3:15:36
Now you moved to the big city.
3:15:38

Vickie Paladino
3:15:45
Okay.
3:15:45
So you're a newbie.
3:15:46
Yeah.
3:15:46
Let me explain something to you.
3:15:48
You claim car dependent.
Jackson Chabot
3:15:51
That's correct.
Vickie Paladino
3:15:52
That's right because you've only lived here for 8 years.
3:15:55
You don't know a thing about New York or how we work.
3:15:59
Okay?
3:16:01
How dare you come to this panel with your so called expertise?
3:16:06
And kill car people.
3:16:07
Car people are murderers.
3:16:09
I mean, look, what did you lay out?
3:16:11
Because, actually, I was cracking up.
3:16:12
You actually made me lay
Jackson Chabot
3:16:13
out.
3:16:13
I saw.
Vickie Paladino
3:16:14
Okay.
3:16:14
This is not Amsterdam.
3:16:16
This is New York City.
Andrew Berman
3:16:17

Vickie Paladino
3:16:17
Take a back seat because you have no idea what you're talking about.
