Glad you are here as well. 0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.280 Drew Western Heidi. It is running the big board in 0:00:33.360 --> 0:00:37.159 the seven hundred WLW Command Center. Always glad to have 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:41.680 him around. And if you want to pick up the 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:44.919 phone five one three, seven eight hundred, the Big One 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.000 and say hello to Drew when you call in, I'm 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:50.879 not gonna lie. I was hurting last night. I was 0:00:50.920 --> 0:00:54.600 behind this microphone and I was not one hundred percent 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.640 last night. And I'll tell you why. I normally look. Normally, 0:00:57.680 --> 0:01:00.960 when it comes to me, I don't talk about I 0:01:01.000 --> 0:01:04.720 don't talk about medical stuff in general, and when it 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:10.840 comes to my own personal medical related stuff, I don't 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:16.560 talk about that hardly at all ever. But tonight it's 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:20.640 a little different because I'll tell you what happened yesterday. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:21.119 I was. 0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:22.880 Well. 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.840 It wasn't. It wasn't yesterday. It was a few anyway. 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:32.280 A few days ago, my wife brought home some wonderful confections, 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:39.080 these chocolate covered caramels. They've got sea salt on them, 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:43.560 and they're little squares. Maybe I don't know about an 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.319 inch square or so, and you pop those things in 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.880 your mouth and man, I mean the flavor of the 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.760 dark chocolate with the salt, and then you chew on 0:01:51.800 --> 0:01:53.240 them a little bit and you got the caramel in 0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:56.560 the middle. So she bought about I think she bought 0:01:56.560 --> 0:01:59.400 a bag of them from the from the cub Scouts 0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:02.440 of the boy Scout. So we've got these things sitting 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:06.160 around the house. I'm having some coffee the other morning, 0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.560 not yesterday morning, the day before, and I pop one 0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:13.440 in my mouth and I start chewing on it, and 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:18.079 on the left side of my mouth, three fillings come out, Drew, 0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:20.000 you ever had that happen before? When you just pop 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:23.959 a filling out, you get that hole in your tooth. 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:29.360 And so I've got I've got the teeth on the 0:02:29.400 --> 0:02:32.960 left side of my mouth with these jagged edges on 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:36.880 them because the fillings, whatever is the stuff they even 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.360 whether they I don't know what they put in there. 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:40.680 It's lead or something, I don't know what. It's some 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:46.960 kind of metal. So I've got this jagged edge on 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.560 the left side of my mouth, and it's as if 0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:53.360 someone is sticking a small sword into the side of 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:57.480 my tongue. So last night I was behind his microphone 0:02:57.480 --> 0:03:00.840 and I could barely with my tongue hurts so bad. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:05.520 I couldn't form words. I was. If you listened to 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:07.600 me last night, you might have not been able to 0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:10.360 understand me very well because I I just it just 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:16.600 was not. It hurt to speak. Last night, before I 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:19.320 came in, I loaded up on a bunch of ibuprofen, 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:23.480 trying to kill the pain. I had ice in front 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.959 of me all night. I I just was putting ice 0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:27.919 on it to try and numb it as much as possible, 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.840 and I was just it just wasn't working right. So 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:35.160 last night was bad. So anyway, my dentist finds out 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.200 about it, sends me a text message says, get in here. 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:40.840 I went in there. He took care of it, and 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:42.640 I told him today I would give him a shout out, 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:45.400 he says, but don't don't say who it is because 0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:49.320 I don't want people knocking on my door down. So 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:53.560 it's just it's just Mike. Mike is my dentist, doctor Mike, 0:03:54.400 --> 0:03:56.760 and uh, I told him i'd give him little shout 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.880 out tonight for the great work he did. And it 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.720 didn't look it did all all he did was go 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:06.960 in and get the grinder out there. Grind it down. 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:14.000 No painkillers, no novacaan I'm a tough guy. Grind that down, 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:18.440 and man, I feel a whole heck of a lot better. 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:22.120 The tongue is still a little bit sore, so I'm 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.480 probably not one hundred percent right now physical wise, I 0:04:26.520 --> 0:04:28.880 mean mental wise. I think I'm all here. Got a 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:30.520 lot of stuff I want to get to tonight. Last 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:34.040 night we really didn't have We had some really good 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.160 guests last night, but didn't have a ton of audio. 0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:39.880 It's a different story tonight, A ton of great audio 0:04:39.960 --> 0:04:41.479 I want to get to. And Drew is working on 0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:43.960 turning that around right now, and plenty of time for 0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:45.960 your phone calls. Only one guest tonight, and I want 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.760 to tell you about the guest that I have coming up. 0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:52.920 His name is Robert Spencer, and Robert Spencer is the 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.279 author of a new book and the title of the 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:59.960 book is Infantada on the Hudson The Selling of Zohan Mondam. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:04.440 I don't know if I'm saying Zorhan Zohan. You know 0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:11.680 who I'm talking about, Zorron Mom, Donnie, the Islamist, the Communist, 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:18.719 the socialist democrat, democrat socialist representative who wants to be 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:22.000 the mayor of New York City, and it looks like 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:26.760 he's probably going to win, although there are some late 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:32.040 breaking developments that And Dick Morris has written a column 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.560 on this. I'm going to read it a little bit later. 0:05:34.320 --> 0:05:37.960 There are some late breaking developments on that front. As 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:43.599 it relates to not Cuomo who was the governor of 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.520 New York. Now running from that, that kind the man 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:49.159 of guy's just got too much baggage. And but although 0:05:49.200 --> 0:05:52.280 he did tear into Mom Donnie during the debate they 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.839 had last night, a really good sound bite there on 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.360 we play in that one a little bit later on. 0:05:57.680 --> 0:06:02.159 But as it relates to a Sliwa and and Dick 0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:06.240 Morris is has a column ount saying that Sliwa is 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:10.800 probably the favorite. So Mam Donnie is is I mean? 0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:14.800 And the the Cuomo you got you gotta here's something 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:18.839 you gotta do. Go on the internet. And I saw 0:06:18.880 --> 0:06:24.520 this oh late this afternoon, and it is a commercial 0:06:26.200 --> 0:06:30.279 that was put out by the by the Cuomo campaign. 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:35.680 And the commercial is it's all AI generated, but it 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:42.880 is extremely well done and it attacks zoron Mandami and 0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:45.400 it is. It is so clever, it is so well done, 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.799 and it goes through all the policy positions that he supports, 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:54.880 soft on crime, defunding police, slaps on the wrist for 0:06:55.560 --> 0:07:01.039 or he wants to legalize prosecute prostitution. Uh uh, drunk 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.480 driving is not a minor offense, things like that, and 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.680 the way and the way they tell this or spin 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.880 this narrative over the span of I think it's it's 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.520 a it's a minute minute, twenty seconds long, something like that. 0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:19.160 But it is extremely well the extremely effective. But the 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:22.480 Cuomo campaign pulled it down. I think they released it 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.000 right before the debate happened last night, and then they 0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:31.000 pulled it down because the Mandani campaign, of course, you know, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:34.680 and it's par for the course for what they do. 0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:39.880 They want to accuse him of islamophobism. I think is 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:45.640 the is the right word. It's islam islamophobic. He's being 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:51.280 attacked unfairly. But the commercial is literally all of his 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:55.600 campaign positions, and so the Cuomo, the Cuomo campaign went 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:58.720 ahead and took it down. So get out there, just 0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:06.000 google it. It's it's Cuomo. If you google Cuomo mondamiad 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:10.680 you'll find it. And I would have played the audio tonight, 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.440 but it's just one of those things. It doesn't really 0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:17.400 work on radio because you have to see you have 0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:21.080 to see the characters they created that tell the narrative, 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.760 and it's just so well done. Ken for Mason is 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.680 picking up the phone tonight, Ken for Mason. Did you 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.320 see that the commercial I'm talking about that the Cuomo 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.400 campaign put out about. 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.600 I haven't had a chance to see it yet, Dan, 0:08:35.640 --> 0:08:38.320 I'm I'm very interested to look that up. 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.760 Ye do yourself a favor. It is literally one of 0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:43.439 the best campaign ads I have ever seen. I am 0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:45.560 not kidding it is. It is that well done. 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.559 My Dan, It's been great radio last time. It was 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:52.320 a great show that you put on. I really appreciated that. 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.520 I hope your listeners are starting to see that the 0:08:56.040 --> 0:09:00.360 lunatic left friends is really beginning to show their communistic roots. 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.520 You know, the Mandami guy is a complete fraud. He 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.880 got ripped apart last night in the debate. He refused 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:11.680 to answer many very very important questions. I mean, he 0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:15.480 just keeps smiling. The guy's a complete fraud. And Dan, 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.800 I'm not sure that his practices will be allowed. I 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.280 don't know if Trump will have to step in to 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:25.199 stop a lot of what he's doing. I mean, socialism 0:09:25.240 --> 0:09:28.280 has never worked in the history of the world. People 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.640 need to understand that. You know, he keeps talking about 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.560 taxing rich people. Well, there won't be rich people to tax. 0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.360 They will leave Dodge in a heartbeat, you know. And 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.960 I hope your listeners are beginning to see that the 0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:47.359 Democratic Party is fighting like crazy to keep illegal aliens 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.400 in this country. And the reason they're doing that is 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.800 so they can vote. And that's what they've done. We 0:09:53.920 --> 0:09:56.400 now know that. You know, I've talked to you many times. 0:09:56.400 --> 0:09:59.400 Over twelve million illegals voted in twenty twenty. 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:01.520 We know it, you know. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.040 I hope people see that the Democratic Party is fighting 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:09.960 about having cameras and voting you know places polls. They 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:12.520 don't want any cameras. And you've got to ask yourself 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.760 why that's the most sacred thing we do as an 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:20.280 American citizens vote? Why shouldn't we have complete transparency and 0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:23.840 with cameras we would everything would be obvious. And they 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:24.760 don't want that out there. 0:10:24.840 --> 0:10:27.440 Yeah, not in the not in the voting booth, but 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.360 at the polling place. I can see that right now. 0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:34.560 People, you have to answer your so why because they 0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:37.199 want to cheat, That's what it really is. I mean, 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.160 let's we've got to come down and be honest. These 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.800 people want to cheat. And Dan, we're getting to a 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:46.280 very very dangerous part. I'm afraid there's going to be 0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:51.160 a border control agent shot and killed. It's the crazy 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.880 talk to doing. And then I think all hell breaks 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:55.080 loose when that happens. 0:10:55.480 --> 0:10:58.520 Well I think, I hope, I hope that doesn't happen. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.559 But if you listen to the rhetoric, especially on the left, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:05.600 they are, in my opinion, they are inciting violence at 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:09.280 every single turn. What was the the gal is she 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.120 from Texas. I don't know where she's from, but she's 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:17.080 talking about she's talking about going across someone's neck if they, 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:20.319 you know, if they get on the wrong side of her. 0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:26.320 Stuff like that. So there's tons of that going on 0:11:26.520 --> 0:11:28.760 out there, and they all want to they all want 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:32.320 to put their hands up and make the case that 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.680 they're all as pure as the wind driven snow, and 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:35.800 that's simply not true. 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:38.320 Well, as you say, Dan, I've seen eight or nine 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.840 instances of people on a democratic site with a finger 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:45.160 gun pointing to their neck and going you know, like 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.600 when Charlie Kirk was killed. 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:47.880 Yeah, well we saw that. 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.559 Kidding me, I mean that is that unbelievable? 0:11:51.559 --> 0:11:53.800 We saw that during the No Kings, the No Kings 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:56.280 rally over the weekend. And what's and what has gotten 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:01.800 into canvas Owens? Have you seen she? Now, Candace Owens 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:06.920 at one time was such a bright light? Was you know, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:14.480 here's a young, articulate, energetic woman. No doubt she has 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:21.480 a great mental capacity for intelligence, but she has she 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.520 has over the last I don't know a couple of years, 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:30.960 really become an anti semi, really become anti Israel. She 0:12:31.160 --> 0:12:34.280 was with Charlie Kirk in the early days, and now 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:38.839 she's out there spending this narrative that Trump is responsible 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.960 for the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Have you seen that? 0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:46.400 Have you seen Candas Owens? I mean my wife used 0:12:46.440 --> 0:12:49.640 to sit there and she would she would make regular 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:53.480 appearances on Fox nineteen. And my wife, who doesn't pay 0:12:54.080 --> 0:12:56.520 I pay a lot of attention to when Fox News 0:12:56.559 --> 0:12:58.920 is on or there's different guests on, I like she 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.280 would she would literally let her phone down, sit up 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:03.080 and say, ooh I like that. I like this girl. 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:05.680 I like Candice Owns, and there was a time when 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:10.400 she was very smart, very sensible, and I think she 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.120 helped open the eyes of it. And you know her, 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:19.720 her her focus was telling other black individuals to get 0:13:19.720 --> 0:13:23.360 off the plantation, get off the Democrat plantation. And she 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:27.240 I think she went a long way towards really starting 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:30.440 that movement to get a lot of black men and 0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:34.880 women to look at the Democrat Party and see how 0:13:34.920 --> 0:13:38.280 they were being sold to Bill of Goods. But she 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.960 has just she has really lost her way. And I 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.760 saw the video today and I'm not going to play 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.360 it the audio of her saying that, because it's just 0:13:46.400 --> 0:13:51.839 so disgusting. But she's really trying to make the point 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.839 now that somehow Trump is responsible for the assassination of 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:57.559 Charlie Kirk. And I just did It's it's just a sad, 0:13:57.640 --> 0:13:59.920 sad thing to see how far she. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:05.280 I mirror your comments. I've been really confused by her 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:08.160 actions in the past two months. I mean, it didn't 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:10.600 make any sense. She was a bright, shiny star, as 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:13.240 you said, you know, Dan, there must have been an 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.760 incident or maybe she's been bought off, Dan, who knows. 0:14:17.480 --> 0:14:22.240 I mean, there's been a several people like that that 0:14:22.400 --> 0:14:26.720 were true read Republicans, and all of a sudden, now 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:29.800 you know, they're turning to the democratic way of life. 0:14:29.880 --> 0:14:35.040 I mean, who knows what. It's very confusing when it 0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.920 comes to her, and she obviously a very intelligent young lady. 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:43.760 You know, something has happened because to trigger her to 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:47.240 act like that. Dan, you and I talk constantly. It 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.440 always comes down to the truth and common sense, you know, 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:54.880 and that's all Donald Trump really is preaching common sense, 0:14:55.440 --> 0:14:58.720 and everything he's doing is beginning to come to fruition 0:14:58.880 --> 0:15:02.760 the economy starting the next year when when they get 0:15:02.840 --> 0:15:07.240 rid of Jerome, power is going to become roaring in 0:15:07.280 --> 0:15:10.320 the economy. And he's got trillions of dollars coming in 0:15:10.440 --> 0:15:13.520 through the tariffs. They're beginning to pay off the debt now, 0:15:13.560 --> 0:15:16.840 which hasn't happened in twenty years. You know, for the 0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:19.320 first time, we're actually going to pay off start paying 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.600 off of the debt. There's there's so many encouraging signs 0:15:22.640 --> 0:15:26.080 out there, you know. And when we start getting most 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.560 of these illegal immigrants out of this country, it's going 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.760 to take two or three years to maybe get back 0:15:31.800 --> 0:15:35.440 down to under ten million illegals in this country. You know, 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.280 everything is going to improve dramatically, and people with common 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:41.560 sense see that. I mean, and that's why Trump is 0:15:41.560 --> 0:15:46.080 winning the wars. People shouldn't get you know, scared, all 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:50.080 this crap they see on ABC or NBC or CBS 0:15:50.200 --> 0:15:53.760 or MSNBC. It's a very small group of people, and 0:15:53.800 --> 0:15:58.720 this no president's rallies across the country. It had no purpose. 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.440 There was no purpose what they were doing other than 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:02.600 acting like idiots. 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.640 Well, Ken, Ken, it's amazing to see how much ground 0:16:06.320 --> 0:16:09.360 that Trump has covered already in just the the what 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:12.320 nine months or ten months that he's that he's been 0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:16.200 in office, and it is I don't think we're ever 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:18.960 going to see anything like it, especially in our lifetimes. Again, 0:16:19.520 --> 0:16:21.320 so at this point you might as well just sit 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:22.480 back and enjoy the ride. 0:16:23.640 --> 0:16:26.640 And he's got the whole world behind you. I mean, 0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.640 he's got the whole world behind him. I mean, he's 0:16:28.640 --> 0:16:31.720 starting to sit on Putin now. You know, he's gonna 0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:36.760 he's gonna, you know, really starve the people out of Russia, 0:16:36.760 --> 0:16:38.720 and the Russian people are gonna ben sually get rid 0:16:38.760 --> 0:16:41.520 of Putin before it's all said and done. 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.200 Well, it's gonna be it's gonna be one for the 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.360 for the record books and the history books to see 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:49.200 how he how he draws a conclusion to that situation. 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:51.080 But Ken, we got to run, I got to get 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:53.400 to a break. But as always, brother, I appreciate you 0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:56.920 listening and appreciate you picking up the phone. Dat show 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.040 All right, there you go, Ken from Mason, always great 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.120 to hear from him. Stick around after the news here 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:03.960 at the bottom of the hour. My one guest tonight 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:10.000 is Robert Spencer. And if you want to if you 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:13.600 want to hear about what Zorhan Mandanni is all about, 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:16.200 then you're going to want to listen to this interview 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:19.240 with Robert Spencer coming up on the Thursday night edition 0:17:19.320 --> 0:17:26.920 of The Midweek Crisis on seven hundred WLW. I got 0:17:26.920 --> 0:17:30.399 to make one seven hundred WLW nine thirty seven, Dan Carroll, 0:17:30.480 --> 0:17:34.720 this is the Thursday night edition of The Midweek Crisis. 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.000 And from the very first day I learned of Zoron Mandannie, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.960 the guy running for mayor in New York City. I 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:46.560 said he was bad news. I didn't know all that 0:17:46.720 --> 0:17:49.800 much about him, but I had read a few things, 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:53.000 and what I learned about him initially was pretty bad. 0:17:53.640 --> 0:17:57.720 What I've learned about him subsequently has led me to 0:17:58.960 --> 0:18:02.440 believe that I have not seen a single redeeming factor 0:18:03.160 --> 0:18:07.080 about this guy. And here to fill in a lot 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:12.560 of the details about Zoron Mandanami is Robert Spencer. Robert 0:18:12.560 --> 0:18:17.199 Spencer is the director of the Jihad Watch. He's a 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.600 senior fellow at the David Horrwitz Freedom Center. He's the 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:27.560 author of twenty nine books, including the best seller Palestinian Delusion. 0:18:28.040 --> 0:18:31.879 He has done briefings for the US Central Command, for 0:18:31.960 --> 0:18:38.160 the FBI, for other government agencies on Islam and jihad, 0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:42.760 and his latest book is Infantada on the Hudson The 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:47.679 selling of Zoron Mamdani, What Zorhan Mandani really believes in, 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:50.600 why he is so dangerous? And Robert Spencer, it is 0:18:50.640 --> 0:18:53.200 great to be able to welcome you to seven hundred WIW. 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:54.520 Thank you so much for being here. 0:18:55.520 --> 0:18:57.160 Hey, great to talk to you, Dan, Thank. 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.280 You well, thank you, thank you so much. Mandanni to 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:03.760 be the mayor of New York City, I've talked to 0:19:03.840 --> 0:19:06.200 a lot of people. Yeah, I talked to a lot 0:19:06.200 --> 0:19:09.320 of people who said he's going to be a disaster 0:19:09.440 --> 0:19:11.960 in a lot of different ways. And you know, I've heard. 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:15.359 I've also heard some Republicans say, just let just let 0:19:15.440 --> 0:19:17.840 him go, Let him go ahead and be the mayor. 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:21.119 Let let these these idiots in New York who want 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:23.439 to vote for this guy, you know, let you know, 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:25.800 let them lie in the bed that they're going to make. 0:19:26.560 --> 0:19:29.040 But this is the biggest city in the country. This 0:19:29.080 --> 0:19:33.120 is the financial heartbeat of the United States of America. 0:19:33.560 --> 0:19:36.000 So this guy is going to be would be a 0:19:36.000 --> 0:19:38.640 disaster not just for New York City, but you're saying 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:40.680 he would be a disaster for the entire country. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:44.480 Yeah, there's no doubt about it. Really, New York's not 0:19:44.560 --> 0:19:46.840 cut off from the rest of the country. He could 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:50.119 bring in people who are criminals and terrorists. They could 0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:54.760 cause great destruction and damage elsewhere in the country. He's 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.159 likely going to bankrupt the city if he gets a 0:19:57.240 --> 0:19:59.600 chance to do even half of the things that he's 0:19:59.600 --> 0:20:02.159 promised thing to do, and that's going to have negative 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:07.520 effects on the rest of the country. He's partner. He's 0:20:07.640 --> 0:20:12.680 the adherent of not just one but two radically anti American, 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:14.080 hateful ideologies. 0:20:14.080 --> 0:20:16.600 He's a Marxist. Although he denies it. 0:20:16.200 --> 0:20:18.320 It's very clear, as show in the book from what 0:20:18.400 --> 0:20:20.800 he said and done. And he is a twelve ver 0:20:20.840 --> 0:20:24.280 Sheeite Muslim that's the official religion of the Islamic Republic 0:20:24.320 --> 0:20:28.040 of Iran, where the leadership orders the people to chant 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.000 death to America and says it's not just a slogan, 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.159 it's a policy and a goal. And so imagine the 0:20:34.240 --> 0:20:36.960 dis damage a man who holds, who believes all that 0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:37.880 could do. 0:20:37.920 --> 0:20:38.960 As mayor of New York. 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.120 And his family background. This is not a guy that 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:49.040 comes from a rugged upbringing or a deprived upbringing, or 0:20:49.080 --> 0:20:53.480 an upbringing that left him wanting for anything. His family 0:20:53.640 --> 0:20:55.639 is wildly wealthy, are they not. 0:20:57.080 --> 0:21:00.200 Yeah, he lived a life of privilege his whole life. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:06.399 His mother is a multi millionaire, internationally famous filmmaker. His 0:21:06.520 --> 0:21:10.840 father is a Marxist professor at the Columbia University and 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:15.080 an internationally renowned author. And so he grew up among 0:21:15.119 --> 0:21:19.960 all that, and he imbibed the philosophies of his parents. 0:21:20.119 --> 0:21:22.840 And this is part of the problem. But he no, 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:27.280 he claims to be in favor of the poor and downtrodden, 0:21:27.359 --> 0:21:30.199 but he's never lived as anything but a man of 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:31.200 great privilege. 0:21:31.480 --> 0:21:34.280 I think one of the things that makes a guy 0:21:34.400 --> 0:21:39.679 like this so dangerous is what he presents to the 0:21:39.760 --> 0:21:42.959 voters of New York City and to the American people. 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:47.399 And that is something that the national media in this 0:21:47.520 --> 0:21:53.159 country just eats up. He's young, he's good looking, he's articulated. 0:21:53.359 --> 0:21:56.880 There's no question that he's very smart. He's a very 0:21:56.880 --> 0:22:02.000 glib he can think quickly on his feet, although he 0:22:02.040 --> 0:22:04.480 wasn't thinking all that quickly last night at the debate. 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:07.120 But these are the kind of things that our national 0:22:07.160 --> 0:22:11.160 media just eats up and and puts out there as, 0:22:11.480 --> 0:22:14.080 oh my god, look at this guy. Because it's all 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.520 it's all the it's it's all the facia, it's all 0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.080 the ephemeral stuff that they that they want to push 0:22:19.080 --> 0:22:22.040 on the American people and say, look, look how terrific 0:22:22.080 --> 0:22:24.040 this guy is, and look at all the the great 0:22:24.160 --> 0:22:26.679 energetic things that that he is going to do. But 0:22:26.760 --> 0:22:29.480 you really have to look beyond all that to get 0:22:29.480 --> 0:22:32.439 down to, oh, yeah, why he represents such a danger 0:22:32.440 --> 0:22:33.040 for the country. 0:22:34.160 --> 0:22:36.760 Absolutely, Dan, And also I show him the book that 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:40.919 this is. This is part of a long standing and concerted, 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:42.200 carefully planned effort. 0:22:42.560 --> 0:22:43.879 He is just one of many. 0:22:44.359 --> 0:22:44.639 Uh. 0:22:44.760 --> 0:22:47.200 This is not to downplay the damage that he can 0:22:47.240 --> 0:22:51.119 do at all. But there are other candidates that are 0:22:51.200 --> 0:22:56.640 so much like him. They are as you say, young, glib, articulate. 0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.440 They're all socialists, members of the Democratic Socialists of America. 0:23:01.040 --> 0:23:02.520 They're from immigrant. 0:23:02.080 --> 0:23:06.000 Backgrounds, a lot of them are Muslims. And the whole 0:23:06.080 --> 0:23:09.679 idea is apparently on the part of the Democratic Party 0:23:10.040 --> 0:23:14.960 to field candidates like this all over the country to 0:23:15.320 --> 0:23:20.359 give the impression that they are the young, energetic vanguard 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.800 people from other places other than the United States. They're 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:26.520 going to repudiate what the United States has been and 0:23:26.640 --> 0:23:30.360 build it into something different altogether in line with their 0:23:30.400 --> 0:23:31.520 socialist aspiration. 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:35.600 Talk about what he did this past weekend where he 0:23:35.800 --> 0:23:41.960 had this meeting with this emam who was involved in 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:48.040 the initial bombing of the World Trade Center, and there's 0:23:48.800 --> 0:23:52.000 everything I've been reading about that. There's a lot more 0:23:52.080 --> 0:23:55.440 to that visit that he had with this emom and 0:23:55.520 --> 0:24:00.399
