00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: This is a podcast from do wor Back now to

00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: is the outspoken New York City councilwoman, and she's no

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 1: stranger to controversy. Now she's in the middle of another

5
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: one after a post on x right after the Bondai

6
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: Beach anti Semitic attack that killed fifteen VICKI, thank you

Speaker 1: so much for agreeing to come on today. I know

8
00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: you're in the middle of a controversy and I want

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: to talk about that for a second. Let me read

10
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: what you posted at first, and then I'll ask you

11
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: what your thoughts are now about that post you posted.

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: We're in the midst of a global jihad, the likes

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: of which the world has never seen, and we cannot

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 1: ignore it. We need to take this very seriously. The

15
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: need to be We need to begin the expulsion of

16
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 1: Muslims from Western nations, or at least the severe sanctions

17
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: of them within Western borders. The Administration needs to begin

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: developing a formal legal framework for the denaturalization process and

19
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 1: get it over with before we end up with another

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: nine to eleven or worse. Enough is enough? Now? Have

21
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: you since taken that post down.

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 2: The reason why that post, Yes, that post was taken down.

23
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,399
Speaker 2: We have a new speaker coming in well hopefully she

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,279
Speaker 2: will be elected a speaker. Her name is Julie Mennon,

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: and her office reached out to me. Julie's in a

26
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: precarious situation. We need her to be speaker. So as

27
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: a favor to her, I did take the post. And

28
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: I don't usually do things ever like that, Larie, not ever.

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,560
Speaker 2: I stand by my.

30
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 1: Work, and so you stand by, and so you stand

31
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: by these words.

32
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 2: I do, Yes, I do, Indeed, I always do. You know,

33
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: first of all, the fact that anybody's outraged, you know,

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: the outrage over this tweet. It absolutely stuns me. Uh

35
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 2: you know, and I think about it often, and I

36
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: and I think to myself, I think about the progressive off.

37
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: What I mean by often is the progressive, the direction

38
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: in which we're going in here in the city, in

39
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: the in the country, and now all over the world.

40
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 2: You know, it's these are this is the reality that

41
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: we all need to face. But go back to what

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: you originally asking. The reason for taking that down was

43
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 2: not because I'm sorry, Make no mistake, I'm not sorry.

44
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: I took it down because Julie needs to be speaker.

45
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 2: She asked me to do it for her, and I did.

46
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: And uh, I did a favor once, a long time ago,

47
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 2: uh four years ago, to be exact, for Adrian Adams

48
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: when they said Palladino's blood was gonna be on Chambers

49
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: for you. See, this is not the first controversy. They

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 2: started with me right out of the gate. So I

51
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: did a favor for Adrian and I voted remotely for her,

52
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 2: for her as speaker from Joe Borelli's office. I told

53
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: Adrian she better get her unruly schoolyard into order, otherwise

54
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: they're going to rule the day, meaning the Progressives. Well

55
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 2: she didn't, and they do. Julie. I said the same

56
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 2: thing too, I said, Julie, I will do this for you,

57
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 2: but you better understand one thing here. We've got radical Progressives,

58
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 2: We've got radical Islamics in this city. You're gonna have

59
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: to learn how to take a stand here. And if

60
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: you're not going to take a stand and you cannot

61
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 2: hammer it, you can't take the hammering, as it was

62
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: put to me by the press, Well then I don't

63
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: know what to tell you. You know, it seems like when

64
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: I stand up and I say something, it creates a

65
00:03:55,360 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 2: much necessary conversation that needs to happen here. Okay, it's

66
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: reality that people need to face. And if I could

67
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: do that and and stir it up so that we

68
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: can figure things out.

69
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,119
Speaker 1: We can figure it. Let me jump in and tell

70
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: you what and look at you know, you know I'm

71
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: in your corner all the time, and so I'm in

72
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: your corner. So I but I can tell you what

73
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: set people off, because I don't think the post was

74
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,039
Speaker 1: that bad except for this one part when you said

75
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: we begin with the expulsion of Muslims from Western nations, right,

76
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: But you just said Muslims. That's a religion, and so

77
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: it's not that if they committed crime, it's not that

78
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:43,720
Speaker 1: they got in illegally. It's not anything that you were

79
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: just talking about religion. And that probably could have been

80
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:47,719
Speaker 1: worded better.

81
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: That that's the only thing that I would have changed.

82
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: But you're not allowed to change on Twitter. It's either

83
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 2: take you have one hour if you don't change it

84
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 2: within one hour, And that was done at five o'clock

85
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: in the morning. I was extremely upset about Australia. I

86
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 2: was extremely upset about just so many things that were

87
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: going on now again not making excuses saying to you

88
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 2: that radical Islamics could have been used, radicalized Muslims should

89
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: have been used, instead of isolating it just to Muslims.

90
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 2: That's the only thing I'll give you. That's it after that. No, Yes,

91
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: like I said, and.

92
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 1: I think that is where all the argument ends right there,

93
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: that that's exactly what people were upset about, was just

94
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: the phrase that it was Muslims. Because you you know,

95
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 1: if you said that all Catholics should be out, or

96
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: any other religion should be out, you'd get the same blowback.

97
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: I wish you were right about that, Larry, because you know,

98
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 2: if you're in the wild wild West, which is what

99
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,919
Speaker 2: Twitter is, the progressive seemed to be able to say

100
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 2: and do what they want. And we've got a lot

101
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: in my council. They've called me out by name on Twitter.

102
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 2: Nobody's called for censor on them or censoring them. You know,

103
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 2: freedom of speech works both ways. Okay, And I'll give

104
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 2: you that only one thing about muzzle That's the only

105
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 2: thing I'm going to give you here, And that's the

106
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,359
Speaker 2: only thing I'm going to give anybody here, because the

107
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 2: response on Twitter hashtag. While West has been so positive

108
00:06:35,839 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 2: that people have set up. People are understanding now finally

109
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: that what we have here in our new mayor is

110
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: going to be a big problem when we see what

111
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: he appointed. You know, a former Alcado or, he is

112
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:56,680
Speaker 2: still an Alcada lawyer or his name is Cassimi Razimi

113
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: Cassim as his chief counsel. He's a radicalized lawyer born

114
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: in Syria and went to Cuney. So he is another

115
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 2: American hating radical who's been allowed to be in this country,

116
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: stay in this country. And now you've got Cassin who

117
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: defended the Al Kaeda terrorists amand of course these names

118
00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: are hard to pronounce, but he's the one who bombed

119
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: that oil tanker in Yemen. Does anybody remember that? And

120
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 2: now he is also part of the legal team that

121
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 2: is Hamas connected and an organizer of the Columbia University

122
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 2: riots who have repeatedly blocked who was repeatedly blocked from

123
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 2: deportation by liberal judges. This is what this new mayor

124
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 2: is appointing to his cabinet chief counsel.

125
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I get it. I'll tell you what. That's all bad,

126
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: And you're right, that's much something some of that may

127
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: be worse than the tweet, and certainly some of the

128
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: things the city council have done are way worse than

129
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: this suite. So anyway, I'm glad we got a chance

130
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: to talk so you could straighten things up. Vicki Palladino,

131
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: New York City councilwoman, represents District nineteen of Northeast Queens.

132
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,440
Speaker 1: This has been a podcast from wor
