00:11In 1975, the city of New York was fundamentally bankrupt.

00:17What we have had here is political ineptitude.

00:21Why should there be faith in government?

00:22Government has let the people down.

00:24They didn't have an accounting system.

00:26Everybody had stuff in drawers.

00:27There were no fucking books.

00:30There was a tremendous amount of uncharted territory.

00:34If the leading city in the country would go bankrupt, it's to be avoided at all costs.

00:40The top of the news this morning, the Big Apple turning a bit sour.

01:23Avoid public transportation.

01:26You should never ride the subway for any reason whatsoever.

01:30I'm starting to read this and it's bothering me.

01:33But if the future holds in it hope...

01:35I am prepared to veto any bill that has as its purpose a federal bailout of New York City to prevent a default.

01:45We're up to here with being, and I hope to God that the damn city blows up.

01:49It blows up.
