Speaker 6: seven Morning Update and it starts right now.
Speaker 3: Story number one.
Speaker 6: President Trump weighing in on the New York City Mayor's
Speaker 6: race where Mondani has had a big win. Who is
Speaker 6: he has? Trump described it a one hundred percent communist lunatic,
Speaker 6: the President calling the New York City mayor primary a
Speaker 6: big moment in the history of our country. And why
Speaker 6: because of what is actually happening now. I've been saying
Speaker 6: for quite some time that I thought the Democratic Party
Speaker 6: was dead. It's actually filled with Marxist socialists and communists,
Speaker 6: many of them too afraid to tell you the truth
Speaker 6: of who they are, so they claim they're a Democrat.
Speaker 6: But think back over the last fifty years. Look at
Speaker 6: the leaders of the Democratic Party. They were anti communist crusaders,
Speaker 6: in fact, even athletic. And what do they do. Well,
Speaker 6: if you look at JFK, he was a man that
Speaker 6: wanted to actually take America to outer space to be first. Well,
Speaker 6: today it's a foreign born communist, Muslim transactivist who says
Speaker 6: he wants to defund the police that the Democratic Party
Speaker 6: is advocating for. You have to ask yourself the question,
Speaker 6: how did we get to this point where there was
Speaker 6: so much decay? It's actually a pretty easy answer. Democrats
Speaker 6: change their voters by importing massive amounts of illegal immigrants
Speaker 6: from third world socialists and communist countries and then appealing
Speaker 6: to their extremist ideologies that they grew up under. They
Speaker 6: destroyed what the Democratic Party was and now what you
Speaker 6: see is a Democratic Party that is dead and the
Speaker 6: Democrats are the ones that actually killed it. So what
Speaker 6: does this man actually believe. Well, he's a thirty three
Speaker 6: year old Democratic socialist and a current state assemblyman in
Speaker 6: New York. He is an individual that believes in quote
Speaker 6: free public transit buses along with freezing subway fares. He
Speaker 6: also wants a rent freeze, taking away the rights of
Speaker 6: those that own property. He wonts city run grocery stores
Speaker 6: in every bureau, taking away the private sector so you'll
Speaker 6: have what they have in Russia or Venezuela or any
Speaker 6: of the other socialists or communist countries around the world.
Speaker 6: He is demanding thirty dollars minimum wage as well and
Speaker 6: higher taxes, saying it's time for the quote rich you know,
Speaker 6: to pay their fair share, increasing corporate tax plus a
Speaker 6: two percent city income tax sir tax on all millionaires
Speaker 6: to fund what he describes as universal childcare. He also
Speaker 6: wants her to be free transit and free housing. Now,
Speaker 6: if you're an opponent of these radical ideas, like Donald Trump,
Speaker 6: then you argue, simply this businesses are going to run
Speaker 6: for the hills. It's going to destabilize New York's economy.
Speaker 6: But that doesn't seem to matter to the social and
Speaker 6: the Marxists. President Trump put it this way on true
Speaker 6: social quote. We've had radical lefties before, but this is
Speaker 6: getting a little ridiculous. He looks terrible, he's not very smart.
Speaker 6: He's got AOC plus three dummies all backing him, and
Speaker 6: even our great Palestinian senator crying, Chuck Schumer is groveling
Speaker 6: over him. The Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who's Jewish,
Speaker 6: is not of Palestinian heritage, and the House Majority Leader
Speaker 6: Hakim Jeffries. Now they said, who cares, both congratulating the
Speaker 6: radical socialists on Wednesday morning and vowed to meet with
Speaker 6: state lawmakers. Of course, they stop short of, you know,
Speaker 6: endorsing him. So here's the bottom line. This man represents
Speaker 6: a rise, a dramatic shift towards a bold progressive agenda
Speaker 6: in New York. He's advocating sweeping reforms in transit, housing, taxation,
Speaker 6: social services, LGBTQ plus and trans health support that you,
Speaker 6: the taxpayer, will pay for. And he's proposed sixty five
Speaker 6: million in funding for that alone. Meanwhile, yet he says
Speaker 6: he's not extremists, he's just a man listening to the people. Well,
Speaker 6: when you import millions of illegal immigrants into New York,
Speaker 6: this is exactly what you get. The ideology is extreme
Speaker 6: and the Democratic Party is dead. I'll give you one
Speaker 6: example of what he had to say on MSNBC, as
Speaker 6: he said, we built a campaign around one idea to
Speaker 6: make New York City affordable again. In translation, that means
Speaker 6: take from the rich and give free stuff to the
Speaker 6: poor that voted for him in the primary.
Speaker 1: As I'm sure you know, you probably haven't consumed all
Speaker 1: of it, I suppose, but there's been a lot of analysis,
Speaker 1: a ton on what your success last night and in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks means nationally for the Democratic Party. Unquestionably,
Speaker 1: it means something about how people campaign. But what do
Speaker 1: you think it means.
Speaker 5: I think it is part of a larger referendum on
Speaker 5: where our party goes. And I think one of the
Speaker 5: whole that we had from the very beginning of this
Speaker 5: campaign was to move our political instinct from lecturing to listening.
Speaker 5: You know, at the national level, after the presidential election,
Speaker 5: we saw that New York was actually the state with
Speaker 5: the largest swing in the country towards Donald Trump eleven
Speaker 5: and a half points, and that that swing took place
Speaker 5: far from the caricature of Trump voters, instead taking place
Speaker 5: in the hearts of immigrant New York City. And I
Speaker 5: went to those neighborhoods. I went to Fordham Road in
Speaker 5: the Bronx and Hillside Avenue in Queens, and I asked
Speaker 5: those New Yorkers, the vast majority of whom were Democrats,
Speaker 5: why they voted for Trump and what it would take
Speaker 5: to bring them back to the Democratic Party. And again
Speaker 5: and again what I heard from them was cost of living,
Speaker 5: was an inability to afford the very things they recalled
Speaker 5: being able to purchase four years ago. And when they
Speaker 5: told me what it would take, they said again and
Speaker 5: again their relentless focus on an economic agenda. And ultimately,
Speaker 5: in listening to them, we built a campaign that was
Speaker 5: explicitly about making this city affordable. And I think too
Speaker 5: often in politics there's a desire to impose what you
Speaker 5: think the debate is upon the people that you're seeking
Speaker 5: to represents, opposed to listening to the very issues that
Speaker 5: are making it difficult for them to keep calling the
Speaker 5: city that they love the city that they live in.
Speaker 6: You look at all of what he just said there,
Speaker 6: and what you really have to go back to is
Speaker 6: that one statement what I heard from them was cost
Speaker 6: of living was an inability to afford the very things
Speaker 6: they recall being able to purchase four years ago. So
Speaker 6: the response to that is we're going to take from
Speaker 6: the rich and we're going to give to the poor.
Speaker 6: But what really got him across the finish line is
Speaker 6: this Steven Miller at the White House putting this out
Speaker 6: on xt saying, quote, to understand the pace and the
Speaker 6: scope of migration to America in the past years. One
Speaker 6: third of New York City is now foreign born, and
Speaker 6: almost two thirds of New York City children live in
Speaker 6: a foreign born household. Yes, they've imported new voters into
Speaker 6: New York City. This is how the Democratic Party is
Speaker 6: planning on changing the entire country. This is why they
Speaker 6: had open borders, and this is why the Biden administration
Speaker 6: allowed radicals to come into this country. Or to put
Speaker 6: it another way, take a listen to Jesse Waters on
Speaker 6: Fox to.
Speaker 4: Pursue it wasn't just what he was selling, it was
Speaker 4: how he sold it. Jesse, he is very prolific on
Speaker 4: social media, especially TikTok, and his mother is a film producer,
Speaker 4: and many of his ads and the things that they
Speaker 4: put up on social media were very attractive. They had
Speaker 4: the merch and it became like a vibe campaign, which
Speaker 4: helped put him over the edge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you can't blame the blacks and Hispanics they
Speaker 2: voted for Cuomo. You got to blame the whites. They
Speaker 2: wanted communism and they got it. They love communism in
Speaker 2: college and then they graduated with no skills and two
Speaker 2: hundred thousand dollars in debt, and they came into a city.
Speaker 2: It's hard to get ahead with high prices. So they
Speaker 2: see this kid on TikTok talking about he's going to
Speaker 2: soak the rich and he's going to control prices, and
Speaker 2: they say that's my guy.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: So he gets into the city all and then what
Speaker 2: He's just going to attack the country cops and capitalism.
Speaker 2: He's just going to cause more crime and chaos. He's
Speaker 2: going to turn the prisons inside out, and he's going
Speaker 2: to turn whole foods into no foods. This is what
Speaker 2: happens when you let the wacky wing of the Democrat
Speaker 2: Party run wild. This is what the Democrat establishment has
Speaker 2: been trying to keep a lid on for decades since
Speaker 2: Occupy Wall Street. Biden tried to keep a lid on it.
Speaker 2: Cuomo couldn't keep a lid on it. This is the
Speaker 2: Bernie bro Dave hog AOC faction that's now going to
Speaker 2: run wild all over the place. And you're basically giving this.
Speaker 2: I guess he's a Muslim communist from another country. City
Speaker 2: Hall in the best city in the world. This is
Speaker 2: the financial capital of the world. It's the biggest city
Speaker 2: in America, and you're going to run a communist out.
Speaker 2: I thought I was right when I said we'd hit
Speaker 2: rock bottom with builde Blasio.
Speaker 5: I was wrong.
Speaker 2: And it takes a big man to admit they were wrong.
Speaker 5: But I was wrong.
Speaker 2: And so this guy is going to do his thing.
Speaker 2: And thank god I left for Jersey.
Speaker 6: The takeaway is this, and there's a big, important point
Speaker 6: and a warning for the rest of the country, a
Speaker 6: warning that Donald Trump brought up up today the commentary
Speaker 6: about New York City Democrats nominating an anarchist socialist for mayor.
Speaker 6: Amits one point how unchecked migration fundamentally remade the New
Speaker 6: York City electorate. Democrats change politics by changing the voters.
Speaker 6: That's how you turn a city the defined US dominance
Speaker 6: into what we're witnessing right now now.
Speaker 3: Story number two.
Speaker 6: There is a very important story that is getting virtually
Speaker 6: no coverage right now. So I hope all of you
Speaker 6: will share this information wherever you can. And that is
Speaker 6: the shocking a mission by a former Biden aide announcing
Speaker 6: that she does not know who ordered President Biden's auto
Speaker 6: pen signatures. Nira Tendon, a former Top eight president Joe Biden,
Speaker 6: told Congress under oath that she had authorization to direct
Speaker 6: auto pen signatures for the president, but doesn't know who
Speaker 6: gave the final order. Tendon served as the director of
Speaker 6: Biden's domestic policy counsel, and she told Congress during testimony
Speaker 6: that the president used an automatic signature tool allowing for
Speaker 6: aids to sign pardons, sign memos, and other official documents
Speaker 6: in the White House. Tannam said she did not know
Speaker 6: who authorized any of those signatures. During her interview before Congress,
Speaker 6: which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that
Speaker 6: in her role as staff secretary and senior advisor to
Speaker 6: the former president between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty
Speaker 6: three that she was authorized to direct auto pen signatures
Speaker 6: on behalf of Biden. An Oversight Committee official has confirmed
Speaker 6: this now to Fox News. Tennen, who reportedly said during
Speaker 6: her testimony that she had quote limited interactions with Biden
Speaker 6: in her role, even though she was a senior advisor, that,
Speaker 6: according to sources familiar with her testimony, derived an approval
Speaker 6: process that left her at least partly in the dark
Speaker 6: about who specifically was giving final approval on the decisions
Speaker 6: to use the automatic signature tool, even though she'd simultaneously
Speaker 6: insisted quote Biden was in charge. Tenan reportedly testified that
Speaker 6: it get approval for the use of autopen signatures, she
Speaker 6: would send decision memos to members of Biden's inner circle.
Speaker 6: Now remember these are people elected by no one. She
Speaker 6: added that she was not aware of what actions or
Speaker 6: what approvals took place between the times she sent the
Speaker 6: decision memo and the time she received it back with
Speaker 6: the necessary approval. According to sources familiar with what happened
Speaker 6: in this testimony, a minority member of the Oversight Committee
Speaker 6: called Tandem's characterization quote a lie. With a statement from
Speaker 6: a former White House staffer saying that they received quote
Speaker 6: a written sign off from so Biden on every executive
Speaker 6: action she presented with him. The only problem is she's
Speaker 6: under oath and saying that's not how it went down
Speaker 6: at all. Any other characterization is a distortion of the
Speaker 6: testimony the Biden. Former Biden officials stated quote to insinuate
Speaker 6: that Nira Tanem said President Biden did not approve every
Speaker 6: single presidential decision and sign off on every executive action
Speaker 6: coming out of the White House is a lie. Well,
Speaker 6: she's saying that it's the truth. Tenem's attorney agreed with
Speaker 6: the staffer, adding that the auto pens were used after
Speaker 6: Biden approved the decisions, saying this in a clean up statement,
Speaker 6: the autopen was used only after President Biden personally approved
Speaker 6: the decision. Aids at no time signed these documents on
Speaker 6: President Biden's behalf. Again, that's not what her testimony was
Speaker 6: under oath. So just know this is the big story
Speaker 6: that we should be talking about, and also know that
Speaker 6: the media will not touch what's the fact that a
Speaker 6: former Biden ad does not know this is her testimony.
Speaker 6: Who ordered the present auto pen signatures.
