colgate professor graham hodges has written a history of the tax industry and says no. >> you are talking about 13,000 medallions and it's in a finite place. plus, of course, this is not an industry that is going to be exported. labor costs seem to be minimal so far. >> reporter: but what happens if the taxi and limousine commission issues more medallions-- something it's currently seeking to do. >> a thousand or more could be significant and i think you are going to see a lot of lobbying, a lot of infighting over that number. >> reporter: but you don't have to be rich to buy a medallion. medallion financial provides loans to people who want to buy them, similar to taking out a mortgage. andrew murstein is the company's president. >> the lending business is great today because we formed our own bank in 2003 and we are able to borrow money at rates as low as 0.5%. so the margins are as large as they ever have. >> reporter: the company's stock trades under the ticker "taxi" and is currently at a three-year high, in sharp contrast to other financial firms. murstein says he's not just enjoyin

and somebody said, like pepsi or coke, crest or colgate, like toothpas toothpaste.anybody can remember making a choice like that. and yet it seems like a mental trick they do. they can't handle the fact of nature/nurture, so they say something stupid. oh, we make our choices. why is that politics? why do they have to make a political statement like that? >> in part, because it goes beyond homosexuahomosexuality. so much of their hierarchy is a god-given roles of men and women in the family. if you admit there are variations on the proper way to live a flourishing life, you open yourself to all kinds of challenges. to, you know, the kind of '70s feminists used to call patriarchy. >> if you admit that people are born gay or become gay very early in life, then you're admitting that god makes people gay. and john, you're one of god's children, i think we all ought to know that and everyone ought to say that every day when they get up in the morning. we're all god's children. let's start with that one. great to have you on. thank you so much for coming on this program, s
