But when we go back 56 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 3: to the room, I catch the eleven o'clock news. If 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 3: we got back by eleven o'clock, or I'm at least 58 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: before I fall asleep, I'm getting on the laptop and 59 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 3: reading about you know, I'm reading that day's Wall Street 60 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 3: Journal and just perusing the news. Just it make sure 61 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:26,080 Speaker 3: I keep up. So I did celebrate. I did. I 62 00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,600 Speaker 3: celebrated while I was in New York. As was that. 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 3: It was kind of interesting if you ever wanted to 64 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 3: see the the biases of the cabal. Fox News on 65 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 3: Sixth Avenue. By the way, here's another interesting thing about 66 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: my granddaughter. We're going we're walking up sixth Avenue and 67 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 3: I pointed over to the Fox News stations, the Fox 68 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 3: News building and I said, oh, by the way, that's 69 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: where Fox News is. And her response was, you mean 70 00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 3: like the Fox News we have in Denver. I'm no 71 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 3: longer this is the Fox News channel, this is. 72 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 4: This is the this is not our local affiliates, but it's. 73 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: Not our local and then I had to describe local 74 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: affiliates and then she was like, and she actually said 75 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 3: something to the effect well, why do I care? Kind 76 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,679 Speaker 3: of like, why do I care that that's the Fox 77 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 3: News building? 78 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: It was beautiful? 79 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 3: And I said, because I've been in that building dozens 80 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 3: and dozens of times up there, you know, on the 81 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 3: thirty you know, the thirty second floor or whatever floor 82 00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: it might be on, and you know, I've met Henry 83 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: Kissinger in that building, and you know Karl Rove and 84 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 3: I've had arguments in that building and stuff. And I'm 85 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: just trying to make it, which I totally failed, but 86 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 3: I'm trying to make it relatable. And I'm also trying 87 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: to somehow explain to her why I just happened to 88 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 3: be walking by, because oh, there's a familiar spot to me, 89 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 3: and you know, your your grandfather's been in that building 90 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: a lot, and she just couldn't she could not care less, 91 00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 3: which he knows. I didn't say she could care less, 92 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: because that drives me, Baddy when people say that because 93 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 3: she could not care less. She had, she had cared 94 00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: as less as she could and there was no more 95 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 3: to not care about it. 96 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: No five, no f's given whatsoever. 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 3: So I'm looking at the Chiron and it's talking about 98 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:21,839 Speaker 3: Trump's triumphant piece deal. I mean that that was it. 99 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 3: You go over to NBC, there's nothing. There's absolutely nothing, 100 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: because NBC is literally just about across the street, just 101 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: down the corner, across the street, and there's nothing there. 102 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: But the point being, I did celebrate Trump's victory, but 103 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,760 Speaker 3: you guys just didn't hear me do it. And then 104 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 3: when I come back yesterday, I'm now back to my 105 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 3: realism and I want to, Okay, now that we've all 106 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 3: celebrated it, let's talk about how everything could go wrong. 107 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,039 Speaker 3: I'm not trying to be Debbie Downer. I'm just trying 108 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 3: to prepare you that at any moment this is going 109 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 3: to go to you know, the S word, and we're 110 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 3: right back where we started doing, just. 111 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 4: Like Hamas sitting there going, like I had said, we 112 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 4: don't know where the rest of the bodies are. 113 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 3: And as it turns out, did you see the story yesterday? 114 00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 3: And again I don't. I think it may have been 115 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 3: the Wall Street Journal, but the one of the newspapers 116 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 3: I was bruising yesterday after I took a two hour nap, 117 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 3: was probably never going to get the other hostages back. 118 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: Probably aren't gonna be able. 119 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 4: To find them because they have no clue, no clue, 120 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 4: no clue. 121 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: And even if they did, they've probably you know, if 122 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: it's been bombed, there's probably nothing there. You might be 123 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,840 Speaker 3: able to find some bones and maybe through DNA you 124 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 3: might be able to identify somebody, but yeah, it's probably 125 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: not going to happen. 126 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 4: And you know they're going to turn around and go, hey, 127 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 4: the building was fine, All the hostages in there were 128 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: fine until Israel blood. 129 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 1: Until Israel blew it up. That's right. So it's all Israel's. 130 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: It's Real's fault for blowing up their own hostage, right, 131 00:06:54,600 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: It's all Israel's fault. So there, So I love the 132 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 4: fact that from your perspective it was all doom and gloom, 133 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 4: But i'd celebrated. 134 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 1: You just did. 135 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,000 Speaker 3: You just didn't hear me celebrate. You say, you take 136 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: two days off and everything goes to crap. Good grief, 137 00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 3: you people. But I'm glad you did. I I looked 138 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:28,520 Speaker 3: for signs of the mayoral race in now we were 139 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 3: just in Manhattan. Obviously, we went over and we went 140 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 3: to the to the Bronx and Brooklyn to get the LaGuardia. 141 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: But the only indication of politics. 142 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 3: That I found in Manhattan was we were on the 143 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 3: opposite side of Fifth Avenue. It would have been the 144 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 3: west side of Fifth Avenue where Trump TOWERY is. And 145 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 3: I got all excited. Like again, my granddaughter thinks I'm nuts, 146 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: But I said, we got stop here why And she 147 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 3: thought it was because of Trump Tower. No, no, no, no, no, 148 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 3: I don't care about Trump Tower. You want to go 149 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 3: in there? No, I don't need I be in there. 150 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: It doesn't you know, blah blah. Look at the protesters 151 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 3: we had people. We had some woman on a like 152 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: a a milk carton kind of box, and she's standing 153 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 3: on that and she's reading her notes. Nobody can hear 154 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 3: what she's saying. She's just reading. She didn't have a microphone. 155 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 3: These people don't know how to do proper protests. I mean, 156 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 3: for all, I guess that's why all they do is 157 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 3: just they they burn things down, they throw rocks, they 158 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 3: shoot and spit at you. They don't there no, there 159 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: was no chanting, there was no pa system, there's no 160 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 3: sound system. 161 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 1: She wasn't even. 162 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 3: Like looking up and speaking to the to the crowd 163 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 3: gathering by. It was as if it was all just performative. 164 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 3: Let's just go hold a protest. We don't care whether 165 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 3: anybody sees us, hears us, stops and listens to us, 166 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 3: or anything. And of course the crowds on Fifth Avenue 167 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 3: were just going back and forth, not even listening, except 168 00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,440 Speaker 3: for yours truly and his poor granddaughter, because I had 169 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: to stop and see what the protest was about.

He made signs 171 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,559 Speaker 3: he's a sexual predator, he's a convicted felon, he's a king, 172 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 3: he's a tyrant. And there were a couple of us. 173 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: I forget about the other two, but they were all 174 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 3: standing next to the woman on the soapbox. And of 175 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: course she's stereotypically. I know this is horrible to me 176 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,440 Speaker 3: to say, but she stereotypically looked like a raging lunatic 177 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,839 Speaker 3: radical leftist with her little horn, rim glasses, reading from 178 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 3: her notebook about her diet tribe, about Donald Trump. And 179 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 3: I finally get a tug of my on my sleeve, 180 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 3: like I've had enough of this? 181 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 5: Can we go? 182 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: I'm like, don't you want to argue with him? Don't 183 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: you want to say something? 184 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 4: Do you ready? 185 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 3: Get you a pic? You're gonna go stand over there, 186 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 3: I'll get a picture of you standing next to them, grandboo, 187 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,440 Speaker 3: let's go. I'm done. I'm not gonna do it. That 188 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 3: was the only really political thing that I saw. I 189 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 3: didn't sign. I didn't find any Mom Donnie or Sliwa 190 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 3: or Clomo posters. 191 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 1: No, I don't think there were no billboards that I recall. 192 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 4: There were none of the no yard signs. 193 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, there were yard signs everywhere, pounded into the pavement. 194 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 3: There were no yards. But I expected at least see 195 00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 3: you know, the bills that they you know, for shows 196 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 3: and concerts and everything. They'll put on the on the 197 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 3: on the telephone poles, on the light poles. 198 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 4: And maybe even a truck or two that you know. 199 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: I didn't see me. 200 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I never saw this truck to go, you know 201 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 3: that has the thin you know, the advertising trucks they'll 202 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 3: drive up and down the avenues. I didn't see any 203 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 3: of the I didn't see anything. It was like there 204 00:10:53,640 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 3: was no election going on whatsoever. 205 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 1: I was. 206 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 3: I was actually fascinated by it. Well ahead of tonight 207 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: debate with Cuomo Sliwa and and I think the future 208 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: mayor of New York City, the Marxist Zofram. I still 209 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 3: think Zofram's the right word, Mom, Donnie. He appeared on 210 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 3: Fox News yesterday afternoon. Now, if you're expecting a class 211 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,319 Speaker 3: of clash of cultures, maybe fifteen minutes of pure ideological arguing, 212 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 3: you would have been disappointed. The anchor for that particular 213 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 3: segment was Martha McCallum. She did, she asked some very 214 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 3: tough pointed questions, but it was actually a very respectful 215 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,360 Speaker 3: exchange between two New Yorkers who clearly don't, you know, 216 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,920 Speaker 3: take vacations in the same zip code, who don't even 217 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: probably have an apartment in the same zip code, and 218 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 3: don't And don't get me wrong, I bet you think 219 00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 3: I'm referring to Martha McCallum. No, Martha McCallum probably lives 220 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 3: over in New Jersey somewhere. Martha McCallum probably. I mean, 221 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:00,800 Speaker 3: I'm sure she makes good money. I'm sure she makes 222 00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 3: several meal tens or whatever amount of millions that she 223 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 3: makes every year being an afternoon anger on Fox News. 224 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,720 Speaker 3: So I'm sure she does quite well. No, it is 225 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 3: zoefram Mondami mom donnie that is the Marxist socialist who's 226 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: a member of the Democrat Socialists of America. He's the 227 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 3: one that summers in the Hamptons. He's the one that 228 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 3: has the really nice, you know, entire floor of an 229 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,920 Speaker 3: apartment or a brownstone somewhere on the Upper East Side. 230 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 3: It's him, not not the worker Bee, not not Martha McCallan. 231 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 3: That tells you all you need to know about how 232 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,119 Speaker 3: Zoe fram mom donnie is nothing more than a limousine 233 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: liberal that's just doing this as a hobby. 234 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: He's just no. 235 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 3: I'm sure he wants to implement his socialist Marxist agenda, 236 00:12:56,080 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 3: but he has as most Marxists are As. You think 237 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: about Sodom Hussein, Nicholas Maduro, Kim jong unh Vladimir Putin, 238 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 3: you think of all the tyrants around the world. Yes, 239 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 3: I'm lumping zoefram Mondamium with them. You don't like that, 240 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,560 Speaker 3: You're in the wrong station, You're listening the wrong program. 241 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,080 Speaker 3: I plump them all together because they all have the 242 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 3: same bite, basic background, ideological values. He's living in the 243 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 3: Hampton or summering in the Hamptons. He's living in a 244 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 3: really nice, you know flat on the on the Upper 245 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,480 Speaker 3: east Side. Martha McCallum, she's trucking it in every day. 246 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 3: Now she may have a driver, but she's trucking it 247 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 3: every day going through the Holland Tunnel. She's trucking in 248 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,839 Speaker 3: every day, trying to get across the GW Bridge. She's 249 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 3: you know, trucking in every day from from New Jersey. 250 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 3: And he's just taking a limo from wherever the you know, 251 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 3: the flat is in the Upper east Side to go 252 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: have dinner. 253 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: You know, at Sardi's. That's what he's doing. They're all 254 00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:58,200 Speaker 1: like that. 255 00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 3: Now, having said that and having watched the interview, it 256 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 3: doesn't mean that the interview didn't have value. There was 257 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:12,040 Speaker 3: value in the interview. But the most amazing part came 258 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 3: before the commercial break when Mom Donnie said that it 259 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 3: was too early, too early, to give President Trump credit 260 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 3: for the ceasefire. Really, why is it two? We have 261 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 3: to wait? Is he playing my game of I don't 262 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 3: think this is gonna stick or you know, ceasefires other 263 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 3: than North and South Korea ceasefires don't tend to work 264 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 3: out very well. 265 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 4: No. 266 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 3: I think it's because he's one of these that's been 267 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 3: screaming and screaming and screaming about a ceasefire. How Israel 268 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 3: is committing genocide, how awful, and just you know, the 269 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 3: Jews are just horrible people. Let's just let's just cut 270 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 3: to the chase. Guys like him think that Jews are 271 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 3: just pigs. They just should be slaughtered, shoved off from 272 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 3: the sea, lemmings, pushed over the edge, wiped off the face. 273 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: Of the earth. 274 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:13,840 Speaker 3: That's who he is. And that's why he thinks it's 275 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 3: too early to give Trump any sort of credit for 276 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 3: a Middle East peace deal. And I also think because 277 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 3: they don't want a Middle East peace deal. The only 278 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,880 Speaker 3: piece they won in the Middle East is the elimination 279 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 3: of Judaism. They went the elimination of Israel. And he's 280 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 3: one of these people. So when Martha McCallum asked Mandamie 281 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,560 Speaker 3: to denounce Hamas. 282 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: He did exactly what Dragon talks about. 283 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 3: He instead invoked the crimes of the Israeli defense forces. 284 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 3: He said they had killed five Palestinians this week. Now 285 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 3: McCollum comes back with a McCallum comes back with a 286 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 3: really great retort. No, Hamas has killed more Palestinians than that. 287 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,480 Speaker 3: But then he deflects. Of course, he deflects, because that's 288 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,800 Speaker 3: what they do. He said, I have no issue in 289 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 3: critiquing Hamas and the Israeli government because my focus is 290 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 3: on universal human rights. 291 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: Huh. 292 00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 3: This seems to be an oxymoron. This seems to be 293 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: a contradiction in terms to me, because if your focus 294 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:36,080 Speaker 3: is on universal human rights, doesn't that include Jews and 295 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 3: so called Palestinians or Arabs or Gosins. Because if you're 296 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 3: focused on universal human rights, that includes everybody, doesn't it. 297 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 3: These people are so stupid, they really don't know half 298 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,680 Speaker 3: the time what they're talking about. It's just words. All 299 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 3: it is is just empty words. And then he refused 300 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: to retract his call that we should have Benjamin Nett 301 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 3: and Y'ah who arrested if and when he showed up 302 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 3: for the UN General Assembly or comes to New York, 303 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 3: and he said that he would respect the judgment of 304 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 3: the International Criminal Court, which obviously has issued in a 305 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 3: warrant an arrest warrant for Benjamin Nett and Yahoo. So again, 306 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 3: Martha McCallum presses him. But Mandanni would not say a 307 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 3: single bad thing about Hamas. They're perfect, they're just misunderstood. 308 00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: Why they don't you know, he's never really thought about Hamas. 309 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 3: Now he's been out calling for a cease fire, but 310 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 3: when he refuses or is incapable of criticizing anything about Hamah. 311 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 1: Look, I'll be. 312 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 3: Honest as a Zionist, as someone who loves the State 313 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,879 Speaker 3: of Israel, as someone who has well, we. 314 00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: Have Jewish listeners. 315 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 3: Should we admit that we have Jewish listenersiness program? 316 00:17:58,920 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: I don't. 317 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 4: We only have one, at least one. 318 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: We got at least one. But in the great you know, 319 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 1: in terms. 320 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: Of ratios, that's probably about right, you know, get one, June. 321 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: We do we do? We have a black? Do we 322 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,200 Speaker 1: have a gay? Do we have a Hispanic? We need 323 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 1: we need, we need a demographic study of this audience. 324 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: But I want you to think about the International Criminal 325 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 3: Court and his thinkings about. 326 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:30,199 Speaker 6: That good morning, Michael and Dragon.

Let's 377 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: see where was it? He would not tell Martha McCallum, 378 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: he would not condemn Hamas. But let's go here. Interestingly, 379 00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 3: why would you not condemn Hamas with her? But somehow 380 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 3: you decide to go on the view, and you do 381 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 3: you do that voodoo on the view first. 382 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 7: And foremost, You're right, I am running to be the 383 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 7: mayor of the city, and this city will be the 384 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 7: focus of my administration. 385 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,640 Speaker 1: Ensuring that what. 386 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 3: A brilliant statement. I'm running to be the mayor of 387 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 3: New York and New York's going to be my focus. Well, 388 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 3: that's good. We don't want you to run for mayor 389 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 3: of New York and have new York be your focus. 390 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 7: Think the city everyone can afford and everyone knows that 391 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 7: they belong to. Also, millions of New Yorkers, myself included, 392 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,000 Speaker 7: care deeply about what's happening in Israel and palestime, and 393 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 7: so to be very very clear, of course I condemn Hamas. 394 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:09,680 Speaker 5: Of course I've. 395 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,800 Speaker 7: Called October seventh what it was, which is a horrific 396 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 7: war crume and of course, my belief in a universality 397 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:17,679 Speaker 7: and international law is also the same set of beliefs 398 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 7: that have led me to describe what's happening in Gaza 399 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,119 Speaker 7: as a genocide. 400 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 3: First, why why they. 401 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: Are not here or why they're not there? 402 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:36,239 Speaker 3: I it just fascinates me that this guy I have 403 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,400 Speaker 3: no issue in critiquing Hamas and the Israeli Yevan because 404 00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,640 Speaker 3: my focus is on universal human rights. Well, then don't 405 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 3: you care about the human rights of the Israelis to exist? 406 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: And of course he wouldn't retract the statement that Benjamin 407 00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 3: Nett and Yahoo ought to be arrested. Blah blah blah. 408 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 3: He does all of that. But then there's a second 409 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 3: part of the exchange about his plans for New York, 410 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,760 Speaker 3: and it was actually the friendlier the two segments. I 411 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 3: think mom. Donnie said that New York should be the 412 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,879 Speaker 3: capital of where working people can afford to live, and 413 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: McCollum agreed with him that the city was too expensive, 414 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,760 Speaker 3: and it is. It's outrageously expensive in New York City. 415 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 3: Everything is expensive. I looked at my credit card statements yesterday. 416 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 3: Holy crap, ol I mean, just like occasional taxi ride 417 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 3: rides like, Okay, it's raining too much, let's just take 418 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: a cab boy. That adds up fast, and of course 419 00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:42,119 Speaker 3: I try to tip the cabby's too. You've done a 420 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 3: lot to bring people's attention to affordability, McCallum says, and 421 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 3: he responds, well, I appreciate that, but she didn't seem 422 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 3: very keen on his proposals to raise taxes on the 423 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: wealthiest New York's by two percent, or proposal to raise 424 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 3: corporate taxes, which we know that means that everybody New 425 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 3: York willbay those taxes, which, by the way, do you 426 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 3: let us out of his power anyway? Because New York 427 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 3: does not set its own tax policy Albany, the New 428 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 3: York Assembly creates the tax policy for New York. So 429 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 3: now what would be interesting is if he wins, is 430 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 3: he going to be able to get the New York 431 00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: their pulop Bureau to get them to raise taxes? And oh, baby, 432 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 3: does he ever want to raise taxes? If you think 433 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 3: that he's just one of these now I'm going to 434 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: raise taxes on the margins. I don't really want to 435 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 3: do anything radical, just on the mart No, no, no, no, 436 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 3: he wants to raise taxes significantly. It's pretty dramatic. 437 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,440 Speaker 7: If you're making a million dollars in New York City 438 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 7: or more than that, you can afford to pay two 439 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 7: percent more. And the reasons you can afford to do 440 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,160 Speaker 7: so is because that money will be used. 441 00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,640 Speaker 5: To better your quality of life as well. 442 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,080 Speaker 7: Because when I speak to the wealthiest New Yorkers, I 443 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,439 Speaker 7: hear concerns about the cleanliness of the city, the quality 444 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 7: of life in the city, questions of public safety. This 445 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 7: money is the money that will be used to deliver 446 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 7: on those things so that we can ensure that we 447 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 7: have a return on investment for all of the money 448 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 7: that we are raising and spending right here across the 449 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 7: five boroughs. 450 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 3: He's actually going to raise taxes on the wealthiest to 451 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 3: fifty two percent. It's fifty two percent, it's not two percent. 452 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 5: So hmm. 453 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,720 Speaker 3: Then he talks about the cops, and of course he's 454 00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,960 Speaker 3: been anti cop his entire life. 455 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 1: He's, you know, engaged in the battles against the cops. 456 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 7: Absolutely, I'll apologize to police officers right here, because this 457 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 7: is the apology that I've been sharing with many rank 458 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 7: and file officers. And I apologize because of the fact 459 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 7: that I'm looking to work with these officers. And I 460 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 7: know that these officers, these men and women who serve 461 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 7: in the NYPD, they put their lives on the line 462 00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 7: every single day. And I will be a mayor of 463 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 7: the book he is about it. You know, I moved 464 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 7: to the city when I was seven years old. I 465 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 7: grew up here and two of the things that I 466 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 7: thought often about was safety and justice. 467 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,440 Speaker 5: And growing up here, Dragan. 468 00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 3: When you're seven years old, did you think a lot 469 00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:19,760 Speaker 3: about safety and justice? 470 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 4: All I was thinking about? 471 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 3: You know, I was just like, oh my gosh, is 472 00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:25,680 Speaker 3: that cop going to beat the crap out of me? 473 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,320 Speaker 3: Or is that cop friendly? And I you know, I 474 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 3: developed my anti cop attitude at age seven. 475 00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 4: Ever, once that I think about, you know, going bike 476 00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 4: riding or roller skating or Checkers or Nintendo. 477 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:42,720 Speaker 7: You're learning about the case of the Exonerated five, learning 478 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,680 Speaker 7: about Sean Bell, learning about Eric Garner, learning about Michael Brown. 479 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 7: And then in twenty twenty, the year where all of 480 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 7: these tweets are referring to, it was the year when 481 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 7: George Floyd was killed and it felt like safety injustice 482 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 7: had never been further apart. And it was actually Eric 483 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 7: Adams in twenty twenty one who said that New Yorkers 484 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 7: need not choose to beween these two things. And so 485 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,520 Speaker 7: one of my focuses was how do we deliver that justice? 486 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 7: And now what I know, having represented one hundred thousand 487 00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 7: people in Western Queens, is that to deliver that justice, 488 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 7: you have to also deliver that safety. And that means 489 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 7: representing the men and women in the NYPD. It means 490 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 7: representing the black and brown New Yorkers who've been victims 491 00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 7: of police brutality. 492 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 3: This guy's really good, he's very very good. So let's 493 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,439 Speaker 3: send the bat signal up. That my formative years were 494 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 3: during oh, you know, the Eric Garner, Michael Brown, all 495 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,760 Speaker 3: of the George Floyd, all of those That's what really 496 00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:48,080 Speaker 3: formed my deep seated beliefs about law enforcement.

Well, just because you're 499 00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,119 Speaker 3: going to quote work with the cops, doesn't mean that 500 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:02,399 Speaker 3: you've abandoned the values that you developed as you watch 501 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 3: what you believe to be all of the injustice.
