WEBVTT - Honoring Charlie Kirk - October 14th, Hour 3

0:00:00.720 --> 0:00:03.600
<v Speaker 1>Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Even President

0:00:03.800 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>Trump today presenting the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Charlie

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Kirk on what would have been his thirty second birthday

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:14.840
<v Speaker 1>ceremony taking place right now at the Rose Garden. Here's

0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:15.760
<v Speaker 1>the President Trump.

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:20.600
<v Speaker 2>They fold, but it includes dismantling the networks that fund

0:00:20.600 --> 0:00:22.880
<v Speaker 2>them and finance them. And we're finding out who those

0:00:22.920 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>networks are. We already know quite a few of them.

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:30.560
<v Speaker 2>When you see these violent incidents and then you see

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 2>people holding this gorgeous sign with beautiful wood, beautiful cardboard, wood, everything,

0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 2>everything's perfect paint job, and they're all the same. There

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:45.600
<v Speaker 2>are thousands of them. You know that they weren't made

0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 2>in the basement out of love. They were made by

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 2>anarchists and in some cases wealthy. I'll probably find some

0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.640
<v Speaker 2>of my nice friends that are up there being so

0:00:57.760 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 2>nice to me, especially lately nice. But it surprises you

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.520
<v Speaker 2>who they may be, and you almost wonder why would

0:01:07.520 --> 0:01:10.200
<v Speaker 2>they do it? But they're hurting our country, and we're

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.559
<v Speaker 2>really taking it back one by one. If we didn't

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 2>go into Los Angeles early on in the administration, the

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:21.039
<v Speaker 2>Commissioner of the Chief of Police Los Angeles said, if

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:23.040
<v Speaker 2>they didn't go in, we would have lost our city. Now,

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.720
<v Speaker 2>they already lost twenty five thousand houses to fire because

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:28.480
<v Speaker 2>they wouldn't let the water come in from the Pacific Northwest,

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>which they should have done. I said her, you'd better

0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:34.880
<v Speaker 2>do it. They didn't do it, and we had twenty

0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 2>five thousand homes where they had no water in the sprinklers,

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 2>they had no water in the fire hydrants. It would

0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 2>have been a different kind of thing. If they did

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 2>what they were supposed to do. We had to break in.

0:01:44.680 --> 0:01:47.080
<v Speaker 2>We broke in and had the water come down. They

0:01:47.120 --> 0:01:50.440
<v Speaker 2>actually they said for the environment, great, they lost twenty

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 2>five thousand houses. It's incredible. But the commissioner said, without

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:58.440
<v Speaker 2>the federal government and President Trump's intervention, we would have

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 2>lost the entire city. And we have the Olympics going

0:02:01.560 --> 0:02:02.080
<v Speaker 2>there soon.

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 3>I got the Olympics.

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 2>We have the Olympics, we have the World Cup, and

0:02:05.880 --> 0:02:08.680
<v Speaker 2>we have most importantly, we have the two hundred and

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 2>fiftieth anniversary of our country. That's going to be most important.

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 2>And all of these things are happening, and we're gonna

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 2>have safe cities. We're going to have very very safe cities.

0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 2>So one month after Charlie's death, we still feel the

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>terrible shock and the pain of his loss. Like just

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:29.000
<v Speaker 2>about nobody I can think of, Charlie Kirk was one

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.560
<v Speaker 2>of a kind. He was unstoppable and he really was boy.

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:34.359
<v Speaker 2>When he had an idea in his head. Oh, he

0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:38.440
<v Speaker 2>would call me, sir, please, you haven't done it yet,

0:02:39.000 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 2>said Charlie. Relax, just relax. He didn't relax it called

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 2>me the next day again. It got it done. But

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 2>he was like indomitable and always will be. He's really irreplaceable.

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 2>Nobody going to replace him, but they're going to do great.

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 2>But you can't replace that kind of person and that

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.680
<v Speaker 2>kind of talent. Frankly, talent is an important word, but

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.760
<v Speaker 2>that kind of talent. So we hold his memory in

0:03:04.760 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>our hearts forever. Every single day of this administration, we

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 2>will continue to carry out the mission for which he lived,

0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:14.079
<v Speaker 2>and he really did. He lived for this country, lived

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.920
<v Speaker 2>for his wife and his family, but he lived for

0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 2>this country too. In Charlie's honor, we will continue like

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.240
<v Speaker 2>we have been, to fight, fight, fight, and to win, win, win.

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:26.120
<v Speaker 2>We're going to win so.

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 4>Much so.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 2>The Presidential Medal Freedom is a big deal. You have

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>the Congressional Medal of Honor military and the Presidential Medal

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:46.400
<v Speaker 2>of Freedom which is civilian. And the Presidential Medal Freedom is.

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 1>A really big deal.

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:51.920
<v Speaker 2>Very few people get it. Very few people, frankly qualify.

0:03:52.080 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>It's a decision of the president, but it's a qualification

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:59.040
<v Speaker 2>that's a very hard one to get. And I would

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.800
<v Speaker 2>like to ask if I might the military aid to

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:09.680
<v Speaker 2>read Charles James Kirk's citation for the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:11.360
<v Speaker 2>Thank you very much, Thank you.

0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:38.760
<v Speaker 5>The Presidential Medal of Freedom is awarded to Charles James Kirk,

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:43.760
<v Speaker 5>accepting on behalf of Charlie is his wife, missus Erica Kirk.

0:04:44.839 --> 0:04:48.480
<v Speaker 5>Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential American political

0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.560
<v Speaker 5>figures of his generation. At just eighteen years old, he

0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 5>founded Turning Point USA and grew it into the largest

0:04:56.120 --> 0:05:00.400
<v Speaker 5>conservative youth organization in the nation. For over a decade,

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 5>he tirelessly traveled the country, leading a movement to restore

0:05:03.920 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 5>respect for our founding principles, reawaken our national identity, and

0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 5>inspire a renewed spirit of religious devotion. He was one

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 5>of the great debaters and communicators of his time. Despite

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:26.000
<v Speaker 5>receiving repeated threats, he remained undeterred and modeled courage, logic, humor,

0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:30.799
<v Speaker 5>and grace to the next generation. On September tenth, twenty

0:05:30.920 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 5>twenty five, at age thirty one, Charlie Kirk was assassinated

0:05:35.560 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 5>while addressing a group of students. The United States honors

0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 5>him of a martyr for truth and freedom.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>President Trump now handing the Medal of Freedom to Eric Kirk,

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>griddo of Charlie Kirk. The audience standing now giving her

0:06:05.839 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a standing ovation. You've been wiping away tears from her

0:06:11.240 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>eyes as she works beautiful metal.

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:25.240
<v Speaker 3>In a beautiful case, a.

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Long standing ovation. Let's say she says a few words,

0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.880
<v Speaker 1>James's wiping tears away from her face. Here's Erica Kirk,

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:52.960
<v Speaker 1>widow of Charlie Kirk, accepting the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

0:06:52.960 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 6>Thank you, mister President, for honoring my husband in such

0:06:56.680 --> 0:07:01.159
<v Speaker 6>a profound and meaningful way, and thank you for making

0:07:01.200 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 6>this event a priority with amid the peace process in

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 6>the Middle East.

0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.280
<v Speaker 4>Thank you very grateful. Charlotte.

0:07:10.520 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 6>Excuse me, Charlie always admired your commitment to freedom, and

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 6>that's something that both of you shared.

0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:24.400
<v Speaker 4>So thank you.

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:26.680
<v Speaker 6>Your support of our family and the work that Charlie

0:07:26.680 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 6>devoted his life to will be.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 4>Something I cherish forever. So thank you.

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 6>To our gracious First Lady in her office for making

0:07:36.840 --> 0:07:42.480
<v Speaker 6>this event possible. Thank you as well, It's beautiful. To

0:07:43.240 --> 0:07:48.120
<v Speaker 6>Vice President and the lovely Usha Fance. Your friendship has

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 6>been an unbelievable encouragement.

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 4>Thank you. And to all our friends and family that

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:56.680
<v Speaker 4>are here.

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 6>And watching from all around the world, thank you for

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 6>loving us, thank you for praying for us, and for

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 6>believing in what Charlie believed in.

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:10.480
<v Speaker 4>And to our Turning Point.

0:08:10.320 --> 0:08:15.240
<v Speaker 6>USA staff and the Charlie Kirk Show staff, we love

0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 6>you more than you could ever know.

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:20.600
<v Speaker 4>And to the Turning Point.

0:08:20.480 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 6>USA chapters that are watching all across America right now.

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:31.679
<v Speaker 6>You are the heartbeat of this future and of this movement.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 6>Everything that Charlie built, You guys, are the legacy holders

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:42.040
<v Speaker 6>of that. You are living proof that his mission did

0:08:42.040 --> 0:08:43.280
<v Speaker 6>not die with him.

0:08:44.760 --> 0:08:45.560
<v Speaker 4>It lives through you.

0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 6>And Charlie always said the next generation will decide whether

0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:53.440
<v Speaker 6>freedom endoors, and because of you, I know.

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 4>That freedom will endure. It will, and today.

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 6>We're gathered not only to celebrate Charlie's birthday, but to

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.920
<v Speaker 6>honor a truth that he gave his.

0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 4>Entire life to defend, and that's freedom.

0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.559
<v Speaker 6>The very existence of the Presidential Medal of Freedom reminds

0:09:13.600 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 6>us that the national interests of the United States has

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:22.439
<v Speaker 6>always been freedom. Our founders etched it into the preamble

0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:28.079
<v Speaker 6>of our Constitution, and those words are not relics on parchment.

0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:33.719
<v Speaker 4>They are a living covenant. The blessings of liberty.

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:39.400
<v Speaker 6>Are not man's invention, they are God's endowment. Charlie lived

0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:42.400
<v Speaker 6>for those blessings, not as abstract words, but.

0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 4>As sacred promises.

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 6>He used to love to journal about this topic all

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:54.439
<v Speaker 6>the time, and with such a heart postured of gratitude,

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 6>and he believed that liberty was both a right and

0:09:57.880 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 6>a responsibility. And he used to say, freedom is the

0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:05.720
<v Speaker 6>ability to do what is right without fear.

0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:10.880
<v Speaker 4>And that's how he lived. He was free from fear.

0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:17.840
<v Speaker 6>He's free from compromise, free from anything that could enslave

0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 6>his soul. His name, Charles literally means freeman, and that's

0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 6>exactly who my husband was.

0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:28.840
<v Speaker 4>He was a free man.

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:34.360
<v Speaker 6>And from the time I met him, sitting across from

0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:41.640
<v Speaker 6>him being interviewed on politics and philosophy and theology, anything

0:10:41.720 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 6>that Charlie loved any topic he loved, and I just

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.240
<v Speaker 6>saw the fire in his soul, and there was this

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 6>divine restlessness within him that came from knowing God placed

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:02.000
<v Speaker 6>him on this earth to protect something very, very sacred.

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 4>For all of us.

0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.840
<v Speaker 6>And he never stopped fighting for people to experience freedom.

0:11:07.400 --> 0:11:07.880
<v Speaker 4>He didn't.

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:15.480
<v Speaker 6>Charlie often said that without God, freedom becomes chaos, and

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:18.440
<v Speaker 6>he believed liberty could only survive when anchored to truth.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:25.760
<v Speaker 6>And I remember in one of his speeches he told

0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:31.920
<v Speaker 6>the audience that the opposite of liberty isn't law. He said,

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:36.040
<v Speaker 6>it's captivity, and that the freest people in the world

0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 6>are those whose hearts belong to Christ.

0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:42.320
<v Speaker 4>But what's so powerful is that Charlie.

0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:48.640
<v Speaker 6>Had the ability to communicate so brilliantly across all generations.

0:11:50.160 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 6>And he reminded us that in a world that tells

0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:56.720
<v Speaker 6>us freedom is doing whatever you want to do, the

0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:59.560
<v Speaker 6>real freedom is.

0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 4>The power to live freely and to do what is right.

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:05.560
<v Speaker 6>And in one of his journal entries, he wrote that

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.640
<v Speaker 6>he wanted everyone to know that you can't have liberty

0:12:08.760 --> 0:12:16.640
<v Speaker 6>without moral responsibility. Freedom divorced from faith eventually just destroys itself.

0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 6>And what's so fascinating about all of this is looking

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.200
<v Speaker 6>back these past twelve years of turning Point USA and

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:31.640
<v Speaker 6>his mission, there's almost this veil of sacred.

0:12:31.520 --> 0:12:34.000
<v Speaker 1>Stations along leshawn Annity Network. We're not going to take

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>the break. We can continue to bring you Erica Kirk

0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:38.840
<v Speaker 1>and President Trump Live from the Rose Garden.

0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 6>Building a movement, one that called people back to God,

0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:49.240
<v Speaker 6>back to truth, and a movement that was filled with

0:12:49.360 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 6>courage and ironically, for a man who impacted millions, Charlie

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.000
<v Speaker 6>never desired to be the center of attention.

0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:00.440
<v Speaker 4>Just wasn't.

0:13:00.480 --> 0:13:05.040
<v Speaker 6>My husband was not a man of extravagance. He loved

0:13:05.240 --> 0:13:08.200
<v Speaker 6>simple but deeply meaningful things.

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:12.240
<v Speaker 4>Truly. He loved his late night walks.

0:13:13.400 --> 0:13:16.800
<v Speaker 6>He loved buying more books than he could ever read

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:19.320
<v Speaker 6>because he felt there was no such thing as a

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 6>book budget. And he loved being able to read to

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:27.880
<v Speaker 6>our kids the same bedtime story on repeat because he

0:13:27.920 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 6>knew it was their favorite, but to him, that was special.

0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:34.640
<v Speaker 6>And he loved to sit in the sun on a

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 6>Saturday morning with his cup of decaf coffee and his

0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:41.560
<v Speaker 6>phone was off because he was honoring the Sabbath, and

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.920
<v Speaker 6>for him, it was that moment to catch his breath

0:13:43.960 --> 0:13:49.679
<v Speaker 6>and just be in peace because he was unreachable at

0:13:49.679 --> 0:13:55.480
<v Speaker 6>the moment and he preferred quiet birthdays. But that never

0:13:55.520 --> 0:13:57.679
<v Speaker 6>stopped me from telling him. I told him every single year.

0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:02.320
<v Speaker 6>I said, Baby, I love your birthday. I said, because

0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:03.720
<v Speaker 6>it's a day that God knew.

0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:05.520
<v Speaker 4>The world couldn't go another day without you.

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:14.840
<v Speaker 6>And so the rhythm of our usual birthday celebration for

0:14:14.920 --> 0:14:19.960
<v Speaker 6>him was mint ice cream mint chocolate chip ice cream.

0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.200
<v Speaker 6>He only had it twice a year on his birthday

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:29.440
<v Speaker 6>and fourth of July, and then after that who was

0:14:30.480 --> 0:14:33.480
<v Speaker 6>back to work as usual. But last year, his one

0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 6>birthday wish was to see the Oregon Ducks play the

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:40.560
<v Speaker 6>Ohio State and day won. Oregon won that night, and

0:14:40.600 --> 0:14:42.560
<v Speaker 6>it was by far one of the most memorable nights

0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:49.720
<v Speaker 6>of his birthday experience of his life until today. And so, honestly,

0:14:49.800 --> 0:14:53.840
<v Speaker 6>President Trump, I have spent seven and a half years

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.040
<v Speaker 6>trying to find the perfect birthday gift for Charlie.

0:14:58.200 --> 0:14:59.360
<v Speaker 4>And it's so difficult.

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:00.880
<v Speaker 6>And those of you that to have spouse as or

0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:03.240
<v Speaker 6>loved ones, you know how difficult it is sometimes to

0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 6>buy a gift for someone that you love. Because he

0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.720
<v Speaker 6>wasn't a materialistic man, so that also did not help.

0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:12.360
<v Speaker 6>But now I can say with confidence, mister President, that

0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:16.360
<v Speaker 6>you have given him the best birthday gift he could

0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 6>ever have. It's such an honor and the recognition of

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:34.800
<v Speaker 6>a life lived for defending freedom. And that's what Charlie

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:39.600
<v Speaker 6>fought were until his last breath, And it was written

0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:42.600
<v Speaker 6>across his chest in those final moments on one of

0:15:42.640 --> 0:15:47.360
<v Speaker 6>his simple T shirts that always carried a message, and

0:15:47.440 --> 0:15:53.400
<v Speaker 6>this one bearing a single word freedom, that was.

0:15:53.360 --> 0:15:54.520
<v Speaker 4>The banner over his life.

0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:59.320
<v Speaker 6>And that shirt was a declaration, the same declaration he

0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 6>made it every speech, every campus visit, every time he

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.080
<v Speaker 6>shared the gospel at a church, every sleepless night, that

0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:07.760
<v Speaker 6>he would.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Spend praying for the youth of this nation.

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.320
<v Speaker 6>And planning for the future of our country, and just

0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.400
<v Speaker 6>oppressing upon them that when we defend liberty, we defend

0:16:17.400 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 6>the soul of our nation. And my husband never told

0:16:22.000 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 6>anyone what to say. He never did. He never told

0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:26.720
<v Speaker 6>anyone what to say.

0:16:26.920 --> 0:16:28.680
<v Speaker 4>He would just encourage them to think.

0:16:29.640 --> 0:16:32.640
<v Speaker 6>He would encourage them to think outside of the traditional

0:16:32.680 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 6>political labels. He would want them to think in a

0:16:37.080 --> 0:16:40.440
<v Speaker 6>way that was anchored in wisdom and truth.

0:16:41.720 --> 0:16:43.560
<v Speaker 4>But he would never tell anyone what to.

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:49.600
<v Speaker 6>Say, Charlie wasn't content to simply admire freedom.

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.040
<v Speaker 4>He wanted to multiply it. He wanted to multiply freedom.

0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:56.680
<v Speaker 6>He wanted young people to taste it and to understand

0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:01.320
<v Speaker 6>it and defend it. He wanted them to see that

0:17:01.360 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 6>liberty isn't self indulgence, it's self governance under God.

0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.360
<v Speaker 4>He wanted them to see that. And every day I'd

0:17:10.359 --> 0:17:14.000
<v Speaker 4>see him getting ready for work. He'd put on his crossed.

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.480
<v Speaker 6>Necklace, he'd put his ring on his finger, and the

0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:21.640
<v Speaker 6>boldness in his demeanor was ah hiss fearlessness.

0:17:21.640 --> 0:17:24.480
<v Speaker 4>He wasn't afraid. He was never afraid.

0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 6>And his daily actions, whether an office or on campus

0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:32.840
<v Speaker 6>or at a church, it was always without fear. That

0:17:32.960 --> 0:17:36.040
<v Speaker 6>was his creed. That is how he lived out every

0:17:36.040 --> 0:17:38.360
<v Speaker 6>single day. He didn't fear being slandered.

0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:39.520
<v Speaker 4>He did not.

0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.600
<v Speaker 6>He didn't fear losing friends. I can tell you that

0:17:41.960 --> 0:17:44.120
<v Speaker 6>he didn't. He didn't care.

0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:47.560
<v Speaker 4>He stood for truth and stood for freedom, and he

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:47.879
<v Speaker 4>did not.

0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.320
<v Speaker 6>Everything else was just a noise to him.

0:17:52.400 --> 0:17:55.000
<v Speaker 4>And it's because his confidence in Christ was absolute.

0:17:56.000 --> 0:18:01.439
<v Speaker 6>That's why there was no limit, no limit to what

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.959
<v Speaker 6>he would have sacrificed to defend freedom for all and

0:18:05.520 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 6>if the moment had come, he probably would have run

0:18:08.240 --> 0:18:11.480
<v Speaker 6>for president, but not out of ambition. He would only

0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.439
<v Speaker 6>have done it if that was something that he believed

0:18:14.440 --> 0:18:19.080
<v Speaker 6>that his country needed. From a servant's heart standpoint, and

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:21.320
<v Speaker 6>Charlie lived only thirty one short years.

0:18:21.720 --> 0:18:24.720
<v Speaker 4>I was thirty two, but on this side of heaven.

0:18:24.760 --> 0:18:32.200
<v Speaker 4>But he lived. He lived every single second he lived.

0:18:33.680 --> 0:18:35.960
<v Speaker 6>He filled every single day with purpose, and he fought

0:18:35.960 --> 0:18:39.360
<v Speaker 6>for truth when it was unpopular, and he stood for

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:40.680
<v Speaker 6>God when it was costly.

0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:41.880
<v Speaker 4>But that's what we're called to do.

0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:47.760
<v Speaker 6>Surprisingly enough, he did pray for his enemies, which is

0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:48.840
<v Speaker 6>very hard, but he did.

0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:58.560
<v Speaker 7>He did. He did no one else. I mean I

0:18:58.600 --> 0:19:00.240
<v Speaker 7>saw him do it. No, he never did it in

0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:02.080
<v Speaker 7>front of anyone else, but I can attest to that.

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:05.680
<v Speaker 4>But he also loved people.

0:19:05.440 --> 0:19:09.040
<v Speaker 6>When it was inconvenient, and he ran his race with endurance,

0:19:09.040 --> 0:19:09.840
<v Speaker 6>and he kept the faith.

0:19:11.040 --> 0:19:13.119
<v Speaker 4>And now he wears the crown of a righteous martyr.

0:19:15.119 --> 0:19:16.280
<v Speaker 4>And for me and for our.

0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:24.480
<v Speaker 6>Children, the truth really studies our grief, because Heaven gained

0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:29.480
<v Speaker 6>what earth could no longer contain, a free man made

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:30.639
<v Speaker 6>fully free.

0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:37.880
<v Speaker 4>To all watching. This is not a ceremony, This is.

0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:44.080
<v Speaker 6>A commissioning and My message is simple. I want you

0:19:44.160 --> 0:19:46.000
<v Speaker 6>to be the embodiment.

0:19:46.359 --> 0:19:47.360
<v Speaker 4>Of this metal.

0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 6>I do. I want you to free yourself from fear.

0:19:53.240 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 6>I want you to stand courageously in the truth, listen

0:19:57.520 --> 0:20:02.639
<v Speaker 6>for the still small voice of God, and remember that

0:20:02.680 --> 0:20:07.320
<v Speaker 6>while freedom is inherited in this country, each of us

0:20:07.400 --> 0:20:13.560
<v Speaker 6>must be intentional stewards every single day. God began a

0:20:13.640 --> 0:20:15.680
<v Speaker 6>mighty work through my husband, and I intend to see

0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:19.000
<v Speaker 6>it through. And the torch is in our hands. Now,

0:20:19.000 --> 0:20:20.920
<v Speaker 6>it's in mine, it's in yours, it's in all of yours,

0:20:20.920 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 6>it's in all the students with turning Point USA. And

0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:29.720
<v Speaker 6>before I close, I'll share with you that I asked

0:20:29.720 --> 0:20:33.439
<v Speaker 6>our daughter what she would like to say to Daddy

0:20:33.520 --> 0:20:35.720
<v Speaker 6>for his birthday.

0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:52.240
<v Speaker 8>Excuse me, She said, Happy birthday, Daddy. I want to

0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:53.440
<v Speaker 8>give you a stuffed animal.

0:21:03.520 --> 0:21:08.680
<v Speaker 6>I want you to eat a cupcake with ice cream.

0:21:07.080 --> 0:21:09.320
<v Speaker 4>And I want you to go have a birthday surprise.

0:21:10.640 --> 0:21:11.159
<v Speaker 4>I love you.

0:21:11.240 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 9>That's what she said.

0:21:14.240 --> 0:21:18.240
<v Speaker 6>And while our son, he's precious, he can't yet speak

0:21:19.640 --> 0:21:23.639
<v Speaker 6>in classic Kirk family fashion, his actions spoke louder than

0:21:23.680 --> 0:21:26.360
<v Speaker 6>his words. And his gift to you, Charlie and myself

0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:28.879
<v Speaker 6>for that matter, was deciding to become the man of

0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:33.440
<v Speaker 6>the House and be fully potty trained at sixteen months.

0:21:33.480 --> 0:21:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Continuing the mission of saving America, as we return to

0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:40.880
<v Speaker 2>the Sean Hannity Show.

0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>Hey, welcome back. It's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Today.

0:21:45.840 --> 0:21:48.720
<v Speaker 1>We're in the middle of a big mayor race here

0:21:48.720 --> 0:21:52.920
<v Speaker 1>in New York City. You got Mom Donnie, the socialist

0:21:53.040 --> 0:21:57.040
<v Speaker 1>communist mayor everbrace terrified this guy could win. You got

0:21:57.080 --> 0:22:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Cuomo, the failed governor. He was a disaster to

0:22:00.240 --> 0:22:03.199
<v Speaker 1>a governor running on a third party ticket. You got

0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the Republican candidate, Curtis Sliwa, who we want to be mayor,

0:22:07.359 --> 0:22:10.439
<v Speaker 1>who would do a great job. And he's with us

0:22:10.520 --> 0:22:12.240
<v Speaker 1>right now. Curtis Sliwa, how are you.

0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 9>I'm doing great. They just picked lots for the first debate.

0:22:16.560 --> 0:22:19.920
<v Speaker 9>The whole country will be watching this debate on Thursday night.

0:22:20.480 --> 0:22:23.480
<v Speaker 9>And guess who's right in the middle, Mark Simon, who

0:22:23.600 --> 0:22:27.240
<v Speaker 9>fill of Johan Mandami to my left and Andrew Cuomo

0:22:27.359 --> 0:22:30.320
<v Speaker 9>to my right? Yours truly, Curtis Sliwa.

0:22:30.000 --> 0:22:32.920
<v Speaker 1>All right now, this debate is Thursday night. This could

0:22:32.960 --> 0:22:37.000
<v Speaker 1>decide the election. Mamdani's a very good debater. You are

0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>a professional debater for like thirty five years. Cuomo is

0:22:41.320 --> 0:22:45.399
<v Speaker 1>a horrible debater. How's he going to do against you

0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>two guys.

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:49.960
<v Speaker 9>He's got to come with high energy. Remember that's been

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:54.360
<v Speaker 9>his problem. He's low energy Andrew Cuomo, and he fades

0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.440
<v Speaker 9>out after the first twenty minutes or so. So that's

0:22:57.440 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 9>really his problem. My job is to tie both of

0:23:00.840 --> 0:23:04.919
<v Speaker 9>them together, because you have Andrew Como, who was the

0:23:05.400 --> 0:23:08.879
<v Speaker 9>arsonist who basically took this state down with his no

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.880
<v Speaker 9>cash beare raised the age and closing prisons, and side

0:23:12.920 --> 0:23:16.280
<v Speaker 9>by side with him was assemblymen Zorhan Mandami. They agreed

0:23:16.320 --> 0:23:19.879
<v Speaker 9>on everything, and they agree on most things now, especially

0:23:19.880 --> 0:23:22.879
<v Speaker 9>when it comes to law and order. They're soft on crime,

0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:26.080
<v Speaker 9>they're pro criminal, and I'm the only one who's pro victim.

0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.879
<v Speaker 9>I mean Mark Simon. For people listening all over the country,

0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:31.520
<v Speaker 9>they're the Sean Hannity Show. We are now best known

0:23:31.560 --> 0:23:34.080
<v Speaker 9>in New York City for locking up two fast and

0:23:34.160 --> 0:23:37.320
<v Speaker 9>not locking up criminals. And I'm the only person that

0:23:37.359 --> 0:23:40.040
<v Speaker 9>can get it back to where Rudy Giuliani brought us

0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.119
<v Speaker 9>in nineteen ninety three. So if you needed to know

0:23:43.160 --> 0:23:46.520
<v Speaker 9>who Curtis Leewer is, I was the apprentice for Rudy

0:23:46.560 --> 0:23:50.240
<v Speaker 9>Giuliani for many years. I am Giuliani two point zero.

0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.360
<v Speaker 9>If people want to know who Johan Mondami is, there

0:23:53.440 --> 0:23:58.040
<v Speaker 9>was that songs by Shade Smooth operator. He clearly has

0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:02.000
<v Speaker 9>taken a page from the book BARACKA. Obama, the smoothest

0:24:02.040 --> 0:24:05.199
<v Speaker 9>of all operators. But he's really for people who remember

0:24:05.240 --> 0:24:07.480
<v Speaker 9>the worst mayor in the history of New York City.

0:24:07.880 --> 0:24:10.000
<v Speaker 9>He's built the Blasio on steroids.

0:24:10.680 --> 0:24:13.959
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, build the Blasio's people are running the Mondani campaign.

0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, Rudy Giuliani has fully endorsed Curtis Sliwa.

0:24:18.160 --> 0:24:19.679
<v Speaker 1>Now you're gonna have to hit him hard in that

0:24:19.760 --> 0:24:23.040
<v Speaker 1>debate with some real knockout punches. Do you have that

0:24:23.200 --> 0:24:23.800
<v Speaker 1>ready to go?

0:24:24.560 --> 0:24:27.520
<v Speaker 9>Oh? Absolutely? Just to give you a sort of a precursor,

0:24:27.920 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 9>he's talking about free bus fayre. Half the people don't

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.359
<v Speaker 9>pay their bus fan to begin with. As you know,

0:24:33.440 --> 0:24:36.160
<v Speaker 9>Marc Simone, I'm the only one who's talking about. Wait,

0:24:36.200 --> 0:24:38.120
<v Speaker 9>is they get there's fair evasion. We got to make

0:24:38.200 --> 0:24:42.840
<v Speaker 9>people pay their fare. That's where everything begins to dissolve.

0:24:42.960 --> 0:24:46.160
<v Speaker 9>That's why you had a billion dollars of fair evasion

0:24:46.400 --> 0:24:49.959
<v Speaker 9>just in twenty twenty four alone, and the situation is

0:24:50.040 --> 0:24:54.160
<v Speaker 9>just getting worse. He wants city owned the supermarkets. Well,

0:24:54.160 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 9>I'm going to turn to zor Mondami Market. I'm going

0:24:57.080 --> 0:24:58.560
<v Speaker 9>to say, and how are you going to stop the

0:24:58.600 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 9>shoplift this from shutting you down like they shut down

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.879
<v Speaker 9>most of the other stores in New York City because

0:25:03.880 --> 0:25:06.000
<v Speaker 9>the shoplifter is aret going to come wherever they can

0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:08.520
<v Speaker 9>steal the product. And I'm sure your store's or on

0:25:08.920 --> 0:25:11.400
<v Speaker 9>you'll have an easy pass for them to steal everything.

0:25:11.600 --> 0:25:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, hey, you know it was one of his people. Well, Curtis,

0:25:14.600 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 1>you get out of the race for Cuomo. Should it

0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.439
<v Speaker 1>be the other way around. Shouldn't Cuomo get the hell

0:25:18.480 --> 0:25:19.960
<v Speaker 1>out of the race. He's in your way.

0:25:20.760 --> 0:25:23.480
<v Speaker 9>Well, Mark, he already had his chance and he took

0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.320
<v Speaker 9>a dive. He admitted when he tossed in the towel

0:25:26.359 --> 0:25:28.800
<v Speaker 9>at the end of the Democratic primary at June twenty

0:25:28.800 --> 0:25:31.600
<v Speaker 9>fourth that he didn't run a good campaign. He's not

0:25:31.720 --> 0:25:34.240
<v Speaker 9>running a good campaign now. He's not out in the streets.

0:25:34.240 --> 0:25:36.560
<v Speaker 9>He's not in the neighborhoods he needs to be. And

0:25:36.680 --> 0:25:39.920
<v Speaker 9>remember in June twenty fourth, when he capitulated the Zora

0:25:39.960 --> 0:25:43.040
<v Speaker 9>on Mondami then The drum beat was, Curtis, you got

0:25:43.040 --> 0:25:45.480
<v Speaker 9>to drop out for Eric Adams that failed New York

0:25:45.480 --> 0:25:48.359
<v Speaker 9>City mayor drop out? How did that? How would that

0:25:48.400 --> 0:25:51.320
<v Speaker 9>have worked out? Mark? What it done?

0:25:51.720 --> 0:25:54.119
<v Speaker 1>Hey? We were at this big Galla dinner Saturday night,

0:25:54.200 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>thousand people. Cuomo walking around the room. Nobody paid that

0:25:57.320 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 1>much attention to him, But you were getting mob Nobody

0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:02.080
<v Speaker 1>could get near you. There were so many people trying

0:26:02.119 --> 0:26:03.080
<v Speaker 1>to take pictures with you.

0:26:03.160 --> 0:26:05.639
<v Speaker 9>What does that tell us, Well, it tells you that

0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:08.840
<v Speaker 9>I have a feel for average, everyday people. And also

0:26:09.560 --> 0:26:13.119
<v Speaker 9>I am the first person to actually find a Christopher

0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:16.520
<v Speaker 9>Columbus statue that had been warehoused. Remember in the summer

0:26:16.560 --> 0:26:20.479
<v Speaker 9>of twenty twenty, George Floyd, when then Governor Andrew cmo

0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:23.960
<v Speaker 9>was letting Antifa and Black Lives Matter run wild in

0:26:24.040 --> 0:26:27.160
<v Speaker 9>the streets. I was out there battling Black Lives Matter

0:26:27.200 --> 0:26:30.359
<v Speaker 9>and Antifa. But I've located one of the many statues

0:26:30.400 --> 0:26:33.800
<v Speaker 9>that were taken down because they were being desecrated, vandalized,

0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:37.200
<v Speaker 9>and destroyed. And we're bringing it to the most Italian

0:26:37.280 --> 0:26:41.200
<v Speaker 9>of all places in America, Staten Island, the fifth borough

0:26:41.320 --> 0:26:43.440
<v Speaker 9>of New York City, which is referred to as sate

0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:46.479
<v Speaker 9>in Italy. You won't believe this. Mark. People on Staten

0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:49.280
<v Speaker 9>Island always thought that they had a Christopher Columbus statue.

0:26:49.320 --> 0:26:54.159
<v Speaker 9>There's never been one there. I know everything about this city.

0:26:54.280 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 9>I am the genuine New Yorker. I'm the only one

0:26:56.840 --> 0:26:59.640
<v Speaker 9>who can get things back on track. And remember Mark,

0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:03.600
<v Speaker 9>for everybody out there who remembers Rudy Giuliani saving New

0:27:03.680 --> 0:27:06.760
<v Speaker 9>York City in nineteen ninety three. A year later, a

0:27:06.800 --> 0:27:09.199
<v Speaker 9>guy who couldn't have picked out of a police line up,

0:27:09.240 --> 0:27:13.080
<v Speaker 9>George Bataki beat the better Cuomo. That's right, Andrew, I'm

0:27:13.119 --> 0:27:16.240
<v Speaker 9>going to tell you you know Mariocormo. I knew Mario

0:27:16.320 --> 0:27:20.000
<v Speaker 9>Coomo well. George Bataki not only beat Mariocormo, but he

0:27:20.119 --> 0:27:25.200
<v Speaker 9>gave us great times with Rudy as the Republican mayor,

0:27:25.640 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 9>Patakias the Republican governor. No chaos, no corruption, crime, reduced

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 9>great quality of life. Everybody wanted to come to New York.

0:27:33.880 --> 0:27:37.840
<v Speaker 9>Now we're falling into the abyss. Curtis Lee a Republican mayor,

0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:41.800
<v Speaker 9>and next year a lease the Fonic the congresswoman gets

0:27:41.800 --> 0:27:45.000
<v Speaker 9>elected governor and we can do it all over again.

0:27:45.119 --> 0:27:47.000
<v Speaker 1>Jan If you want what do you want people to do.

0:27:47.000 --> 0:27:49.440
<v Speaker 1>Donate a volunteer, What can they do for you? What's

0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:50.200
<v Speaker 1>the website?

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:53.040
<v Speaker 9>All of the above. With twenty one days to go,

0:27:53.160 --> 0:27:56.240
<v Speaker 9>I'm campaigning twenty days out of a twenty four hour day.

0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 9>Just go to sliwa for NYC dot com, up for

0:28:00.520 --> 0:28:04.280
<v Speaker 9>NYC dot com. Please help me save New York City,

0:28:04.760 --> 0:28:08.600
<v Speaker 9>because whether it's Jorhan Mandami or Andrew Cmo, there's going

0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:13.800
<v Speaker 9>to be the flight, hysteria and constant exodus of New

0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:18.160
<v Speaker 9>Yorkers into your state. My job is to keep them here, improved,

0:28:18.160 --> 0:28:20.560
<v Speaker 9>don't move because I don't want to see the sequel

0:28:20.920 --> 0:28:23.719
<v Speaker 9>to Kurt Russell's escape from New York and Old New

0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:29.359
<v Speaker 9>York is coming down your way to North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee,

0:28:29.680 --> 0:28:30.640
<v Speaker 9>and parts unknown.

0:28:30.840 --> 0:28:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Now I see a lot of commercials for you all

0:28:32.920 --> 0:28:35.680
<v Speaker 1>over the place on TV here and during the Big

0:28:35.760 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 1>Yankee playoff game there were your commercials. I don't see

0:28:38.240 --> 0:28:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot of Cuomo commercials. And as far as I know,

0:28:40.560 --> 0:28:42.880
<v Speaker 1>he hasn't even opened a campaign headquarters yet, has he?

0:28:43.600 --> 0:28:46.959
<v Speaker 9>Now? In fact, I opened my eleventh campaign headquarters today.

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:50.400
<v Speaker 9>They're sleeward signs everywhere slee with for mayor. I have

0:28:50.480 --> 0:28:55.520
<v Speaker 9>an energetic campaign, Orhan Mandami has the orneasters. We know

0:28:55.600 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 9>they're energetic. It really should be one on one. It

0:28:58.840 --> 0:29:02.400
<v Speaker 9>should be Curtis Sleewood, the mayor from the streets and

0:29:02.440 --> 0:29:06.040
<v Speaker 9>the subways, taken on Zoran Mandami, who wants to be

0:29:06.120 --> 0:29:09.920
<v Speaker 9>the mayor representing the white collar graduates of college in

0:29:10.000 --> 0:29:13.800
<v Speaker 9>the suites. That's really where the battle is. Andrew celmost

0:29:13.840 --> 0:29:17.400
<v Speaker 9>trying to remain relative. He should be one and done.

0:29:17.440 --> 0:29:22.000
<v Speaker 9>He escaped from Albany when he was under impeachment. You know, Mark,

0:29:22.080 --> 0:29:25.080
<v Speaker 9>I'm only responsible for the deaths of fifteen thousand l

0:29:25.120 --> 0:29:29.000
<v Speaker 9>of the people because of his executive order. He never apologized,

0:29:29.360 --> 0:29:32.120
<v Speaker 9>and God only knows if you're a woman in twenty two,

0:29:32.560 --> 0:29:36.880
<v Speaker 9>we'd have to have hr constantly in the office of mayor.

0:29:37.400 --> 0:29:40.000
<v Speaker 9>And sure he was keeping his hands off the young

0:29:40.080 --> 0:29:41.800
<v Speaker 9>ladies working in his administration.

0:29:43.120 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 1>Well, but you have give him credit though. In this

0:29:45.160 --> 0:29:48.000
<v Speaker 1>little little comeback of his he is convinced some of

0:29:48.040 --> 0:29:52.280
<v Speaker 1>these big donors that he's the traditional mainstream, middle of

0:29:52.320 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the road democrat. When he was governor, he was the

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:58.239
<v Speaker 1>most far left. He was as bad as Mondamie, wasn't he.

0:29:59.040 --> 0:30:02.640
<v Speaker 9>Mark friends with a lot of these money people. They

0:30:02.680 --> 0:30:05.440
<v Speaker 9>may know Wall Street, but they don't know politics. They've

0:30:05.480 --> 0:30:08.280
<v Speaker 9>proven that time and time again. They ran from Cuomo

0:30:08.360 --> 0:30:11.920
<v Speaker 9>to Eric Adams. They gave Eric Adams millions. Where's that money? Now?

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 9>Mark someonment. What they're done. Nobody wants to find out.

0:30:15.800 --> 0:30:18.760
<v Speaker 9>And now they're back with Cuomo. Mark. When you sit

0:30:18.800 --> 0:30:21.960
<v Speaker 9>down with your friends the billionaires, tell them focus on

0:30:22.000 --> 0:30:25.280
<v Speaker 9>Wall Street. Let Curtis Sleewood, the man of the people,

0:30:25.360 --> 0:30:29.840
<v Speaker 9>the blue collar, working class, Republican populace, focus on saving

0:30:29.880 --> 0:30:32.720
<v Speaker 9>the city, and just stay out of my way. I

0:30:32.800 --> 0:30:35.320
<v Speaker 9>can do it. They can't. They failed.

0:30:35.880 --> 0:30:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, Well, one thing with these billionaires when it comes

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to politics. They're geniuses in their own profession, but when

0:30:41.280 --> 0:30:44.440
<v Speaker 1>it comes to politics, they're crazy. Cuomo gets wiped out

0:30:44.440 --> 0:30:47.520
<v Speaker 1>into debates by Mom Donnie. Culomo gets slaughtered in the

0:30:47.720 --> 0:30:50.560
<v Speaker 1>primary Byron Donnie, and then they tell you only Cuomo

0:30:50.640 --> 0:30:56.080
<v Speaker 1>can win. It's absolutely ridiculous. But you when it comes

0:30:56.080 --> 0:30:57.480
<v Speaker 1>to crime, would you say that's going to be the

0:30:57.520 --> 0:30:59.720
<v Speaker 1>number one issue in the debate? Oh?

0:30:59.720 --> 0:31:03.000
<v Speaker 9>No, out, we need to hire seven thousand cops immediately.

0:31:03.080 --> 0:31:07.880
<v Speaker 9>They've been stripped of the insurance that every civil servant has.

0:31:07.920 --> 0:31:11.080
<v Speaker 9>It's called qualified immunity. We have to get that back

0:31:11.480 --> 0:31:16.000
<v Speaker 9>so that the cops don't fear getting involved in making arrest. Plus,

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:19.479
<v Speaker 9>our recruitment is dismal because the many women who work

0:31:19.520 --> 0:31:23.520
<v Speaker 9>police officers are never recommending any longer that their children

0:31:23.640 --> 0:31:28.440
<v Speaker 9>or grandchildren or nieces and nephews following their footsteps. We're

0:31:28.560 --> 0:31:32.600
<v Speaker 9>facing dire circumstances here. And I got to tell you

0:31:33.000 --> 0:31:35.480
<v Speaker 9>I've been doing this for forty six years. As leader

0:31:35.520 --> 0:31:38.960
<v Speaker 9>of the Guardian Angels, I helped save the subway system

0:31:39.000 --> 0:31:42.840
<v Speaker 9>that was crime infested in the seventies, eighties and nineties.

0:31:43.200 --> 0:31:47.520
<v Speaker 9>I fought the crack cocaine epidemic along with Rudy Giuliani,

0:31:47.600 --> 0:31:50.360
<v Speaker 9>the greatest mayor we ever had. I learned from the best,

0:31:50.520 --> 0:31:53.200
<v Speaker 9>and so as Rudy Giuliani two point zero, I can

0:31:53.240 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 9>do exactly what he did did so many years ago.

0:31:57.240 --> 0:32:00.880
<v Speaker 9>Rescue this city that is in dire need. The socialists

0:32:00.880 --> 0:32:05.160
<v Speaker 9>will destroy it. And Andrew Cuomo has said, if somehow

0:32:05.280 --> 0:32:08.760
<v Speaker 9>Johan wins, he's going to flee to Florida. What kind

0:32:08.800 --> 0:32:11.880
<v Speaker 9>of leader is that? This guy's always dropping out? In fact,

0:32:11.920 --> 0:32:14.720
<v Speaker 9>Mark he dropped out of running for governor against Comic Coal.

0:32:14.960 --> 0:32:17.120
<v Speaker 9>He dropped out when he feed an impeachment from his

0:32:17.200 --> 0:32:20.440
<v Speaker 9>own Democratic Party and ran to the Hamptons. The man

0:32:20.760 --> 0:32:23.880
<v Speaker 9>is not a for Augh. Fight to beat Zoran and

0:32:23.960 --> 0:32:27.240
<v Speaker 9>the zorn Easters and the Democratic Socialists of America, you

0:32:27.360 --> 0:32:31.240
<v Speaker 9>gotta go neighborhood by neighborhood, subway stop by subway stop,

0:32:31.600 --> 0:32:34.480
<v Speaker 9>get the voters to the polls, and that's how we'll

0:32:34.520 --> 0:32:38.760
<v Speaker 9>have victory on January January first, twenty twenty six, when

0:32:38.760 --> 0:32:41.400
<v Speaker 9>I get sworn into office to save this city with

0:32:41.480 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 9>the help of all your listeners.

0:32:43.000 --> 0:32:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Hey, yeah, go to sliwa for NYC dot com. You

0:32:46.240 --> 0:32:51.560
<v Speaker 1>can donate volunteers sliwa for NYC dot Com. Now, Momdani

0:32:51.640 --> 0:32:55.040
<v Speaker 1>came out of nowhere somehow he's got forty million or whatever.

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:58.080
<v Speaker 1>We know this money a lot of George Sorows types.

0:32:58.320 --> 0:33:01.440
<v Speaker 1>But what about this rumor talk of foreign money that

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 1>poured into his campaign.

0:33:03.440 --> 0:33:06.040
<v Speaker 9>Mark Simone, You remember it was two months ago on

0:33:06.160 --> 0:33:09.440
<v Speaker 9>Marie butter Loma show on the Fox News business station

0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:14.000
<v Speaker 9>that I said there's foreign money that has come into

0:33:14.040 --> 0:33:18.000
<v Speaker 9>contact with zoron Mondami's campaign fund. You know what happens.

0:33:18.040 --> 0:33:19.880
<v Speaker 9>It is the same thing that happened to Eric Adams.

0:33:19.880 --> 0:33:22.560
<v Speaker 9>He got Turkish money that went to Turkish businessmen in

0:33:22.600 --> 0:33:26.240
<v Speaker 9>New York City who then had straw donors make those donations,

0:33:26.280 --> 0:33:28.880
<v Speaker 9>which is illegal, which is why Eric Adams should have

0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:32.720
<v Speaker 9>gone to jail. So on Mondommi with his smoke this fire,

0:33:33.080 --> 0:33:36.280
<v Speaker 9>the Department of Justice should do a full scale investigation.

0:33:36.680 --> 0:33:41.320
<v Speaker 9>He's already admitted he collected thirteen thousand dollars of illegal

0:33:41.440 --> 0:33:45.800
<v Speaker 9>campaign contributions from foreign sources. Why wouldn't we do a

0:33:45.840 --> 0:33:50.920
<v Speaker 9>deeper dive. He's collected millions, Mark Simone, thirteen thousand may

0:33:51.080 --> 0:33:52.520
<v Speaker 9>just be the tip of the iceberg.

0:33:52.600 --> 0:33:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, the dive is being done by some people.

0:33:54.880 --> 0:33:56.720
<v Speaker 1>We'll see. Hey, we don't have much time. Have one

0:33:56.800 --> 0:33:59.640
<v Speaker 1>more question. Last time you had that debate four years ago,

0:33:59.680 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 1>Channel for they rid the debate. They said we're only

0:34:03.360 --> 0:34:05.880
<v Speaker 1>having yes or no questions for this segment. They're only

0:34:05.920 --> 0:34:08.399
<v Speaker 1>allowed to talk thirty seconds. How do you know they're

0:34:08.440 --> 0:34:09.719
<v Speaker 1>not going to do that again this year.

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:13.480
<v Speaker 9>Well, I learned from that mistake of allowing the moderators

0:34:13.520 --> 0:34:17.320
<v Speaker 9>to dominate the discussion. Since I'm in the middle. Andrew

0:34:17.400 --> 0:34:21.680
<v Speaker 9>Como's position to my right and Johan Mandami obviously to

0:34:21.760 --> 0:34:24.600
<v Speaker 9>my left. I am going to dominate this debate. I'm

0:34:24.600 --> 0:34:28.240
<v Speaker 9>not going to let the moderators and the inquisitors try

0:34:28.280 --> 0:34:31.320
<v Speaker 9>to make it appear that this is their time to shine.

0:34:31.440 --> 0:34:33.440
<v Speaker 9>People don't want to hear from them. They want to

0:34:33.480 --> 0:34:36.759
<v Speaker 9>hear from the candidates. They want to hear our ideas,

0:34:36.880 --> 0:34:40.359
<v Speaker 9>our concepts, and most importantly, they want to hear good

0:34:40.560 --> 0:34:43.680
<v Speaker 9>arguments back and forth. And you know, the moderators, they're

0:34:43.719 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 9>constantly trying to break that up. Mark, I'm not going

0:34:46.320 --> 0:34:48.440
<v Speaker 9>to let them do it this time. All right, the

0:34:48.640 --> 0:34:50.920
<v Speaker 9>start of this debate, I am going to be at

0:34:51.000 --> 0:34:54.800
<v Speaker 9>Zoran Mandami and his mini me Andrew Como.

0:34:55.960 --> 0:34:59.960

<v Speaker 1>Sean off today, but it'll be back tomorrow. You have

0:35:32.880 --> 0:35:36.560
<v Speaker 1>what's at silly show, The View that you have high

0:35:36.640 --> 0:35:40.080
<v Speaker 1>IQ shows, you know, like some MSNBC show, then you

0:35:40.120 --> 0:35:43.279
<v Speaker 1>got these low IQ shows like The View. But there's

0:35:43.320 --> 0:35:47.520
<v Speaker 1>one of those wacky co hosts, Alissa Farah Griffin, who

0:35:47.880 --> 0:35:50.680
<v Speaker 1>said a while back, she said, if Trump gets those

0:35:50.719 --> 0:35:53.880
<v Speaker 1>hostages out, I'll wear a mega hat right here. She

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.439
<v Speaker 1>thought there was no chance, no chance that he could

0:35:56.440 --> 0:35:59.799
<v Speaker 1>make this deal, and she said, if he does, I'll

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:03.760
<v Speaker 1>wear maga hat. Well he did, and she's not wearing

0:36:03.800 --> 0:36:08.400
<v Speaker 1>the hat. Donald Trump Junior trolling her on Twitter today

0:36:08.440 --> 0:36:12.040
<v Speaker 1>about wearing that hat. So far nothing, She hasn't set

0:36:12.080 --> 0:36:17.960
<v Speaker 1>a peep yet about wearing that hat. I predict. No,

0:36:18.280 --> 0:36:20.680
<v Speaker 1>she won't wear it. She won't do it. She won't

0:36:20.680 --> 0:36:23.279
<v Speaker 1>do it because then there'll be the picture of her

0:36:23.320 --> 0:36:25.960
<v Speaker 1>with the hat on will be used against her forever

0:36:26.000 --> 0:36:29.439
<v Speaker 1>and ever, and her viewers are crazy wacky viewers will

0:36:29.480 --> 0:36:32.080
<v Speaker 1>never ever ever get over it. Hey, we're just about
