All these colleges wanna be free, but they only do it to the p's, the people that is going to, vote for them on election day.
1:51:01
And that shouldn't be the case.
1:51:03
If y'all care about making CUNY for free and doing the right thing for students, you should not only remove, make CUNY free, give all Faster money to the students, make all school all school books cheap or hell, give them for free.
1:51:17
Get all school books for free.
1:51:18
Why we gotta pay a hundred dollars for a book that nobody reads?
1:51:22
Or you gotta rent a book for 80 for $98.
1:51:24

1:51:53
We need to make a bill in the city council starring you, mister Dinowitz, and mister missus Duneen to make a, introduce a bill to ban Nardin Quisani from all CUNY institutions.
1:52:04
The reason we have antisemitism in CUNY is because of that woman called Nardin Quisani.
1:52:10
So like I said, we need to ban antisemitism all schools.
1:52:14
At the same time, we need to ban Nardeen Quinsani from all CUNY institutions.
