1 00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Welcome everybody to the Wednesday edition of the Clay Travis 2 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,880 Speaker 1: en Buck Sexton Show Play. I Got a fever and 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: the only prescription is more election analysis here on Play 4 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: and Buck. Because election Day just days away. I know 5 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,919 Speaker 1: it's an off year, and so we're not laser focused 6 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: on this every day for months like we will be 7 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: next year. But there are some big contests that are underway, 8 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: some important ones, just to recap. 9 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: We have a reasonable chance, reasonable in Virginia of maybe 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: keeping the governor's mansion. 11 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 1: If a Spamberger is seen for the the milk toast 12 00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: fraud that she is, we'll see. Then there's also the 13 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 1: New Jersey governor's race with CHITTERRELLI, whom I think is 14 00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 1: our best chance actually at an upset and and I 15 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: don't want to I don't want to jinx it, but 16 00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: that I think of the three. And then we have 17 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: the fate of my beloved NYC, the Big Apple. I 18 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: think America and the world's greatest city in my opinion, 19 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 1: and people who are born there. We have to say 20 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: that always in forever, it is a requirement of having 21 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: been born and raised in New York City. It does 22 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,199 Speaker 1: not matter. There could be nuclear winter in New York, 23 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: and I would still think it is the greatest city. 24 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 1: And there kind of was because Bill de Blasio was 25 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: the mayor for a number of years and that was 26 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,960 Speaker 1: pretty horrific. And then there was COVID and that was 27 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,760 Speaker 1: pretty horrific. So let's take a look at what's going 28 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: on with the Zoron Mamdani situation. You have really a 29 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: contest underway of awful versus really bad versus great, but 30 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: long shot, and the long shot is, of course, our 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: friend Curtis Sliwa, who will be with us later on 32 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 1: our show in one hour, mister Curtis Leer. We have 33 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: asked and he has graciously said he will join us 34 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: here on the program, and we really do want to 35 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: hear him out on why he believes he can win, 36 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: why he thinks staying in the race is so important, 37 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: and what he thinks of the other two who are 38 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: vying for the job of mayor of America's largest city. 39 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 1: Just a couple of other notes, a couple of other 40 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: things to put on the menu, so to speak. Kamala Harris. 41 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 1: Not everybody's as confident as Clay that Kamala Harris is 42 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: in fact going to be in a good position to 43 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,639 Speaker 1: run as a Democrat. There are some people who are 44 00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:45,360 Speaker 1: just gonna run. 45 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: I'm not sure what her position is going to be, 46 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: but I'm confident she's he thinks he's definitely gonna run. 47 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: I see that as well. We shall see. It is 48 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: just a question she will not be the nominee that 49 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: I don't think Clay and I disagree on at all. 50 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: It's a question of what she thinks is better for 51 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 1: her brand. I will say the single best thing that 52 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris has going for the rehabilitation of her Democrat 53 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: standing is the Koreean Jean Pierre book tour, which is 54 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 1: a glorious catastrophe. I mean, some of the worst interviews 55 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: about a book tour I've ever seen a person give 56 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: astonishing Clay that this woman, who is quick to remind 57 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: everybody is in fact black and a member of the 58 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: LGBTQ community. In fact, she says that I think, more 59 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 1: than anything else about herself on a regular basis, that 60 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: she was the White House Press Secretary is staggering in retrospect, 61 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: considering the way that she answers questions like wait, what 62 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: are you saying? And hold on a second, go back, 63 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? And the answers never come. 64 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: And from the New Yorker, I mean she is she 65 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 3: did an interview with the New Yorker. I think she 66 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 3: probably expected, because she's black and gay, that the New 67 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 3: Yorker would protect her from looking like a moron. And 68 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 3: the rules have at least changed enough that the New 69 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: Yorker interviewer, who probably has fifty IQ points on Karine 70 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: Jean Pierre, just couldn't even comprehend what her answers were 71 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 3: or make sense of any of them from a logical perspective. 72 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 3: And to your point, Buck, she just kept coming back 73 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,679 Speaker 3: to her chosen default line, which is, well, I'm black 74 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 3: and gay, and that identity is both cloak and shield 75 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 3: that she believes protects her from any consequences for anything 76 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 3: she says or does. And sadly, there are a lot 77 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 3: of people, I mean, I would argue to a large 78 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 3: extent that's the foundation of the Democrat Party. There are 79 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 3: white men are evil and if you're black and gay, 80 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 3: you can do no wrong. And Karrie Jean Pierre just 81 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: playing what she thinks are the rules of the Democrat 82 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 3: Party and getting blown up by New Yorker. 83 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: We're gonna return to this because Stephen Miller, who is fabulous, fabulous. 84 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: Stephen Miller also unsurprisingly has a fabulous spouse, Katie Miller, 85 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 1: who is doing great work out there. She's doing phenomenal 86 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: work out there on her podcast. We will get to 87 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: what she says as well about the book tour of 88 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: the former White House Press secretary. So anyway, but I 89 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 1: will say the best thing Kamala has going for right 90 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,960 Speaker 1: now is that her book and book tour compared to 91 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: Karine Jean Pierre's book and book tour, this is like 92 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, Michelangelo's Cistine Chapel. Okay, I mean it is. 93 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: It looks amazing by comparison. We'll get into that now, 94 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: Mam Donnie, this is the election that has a lot 95 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: of attention all across the country because of the symbols 96 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: that are at stake. Here you have, Mam Donnie Takami. Okay, 97 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: this guy is a democrat socialist, also known as a socialist, 98 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: and if you look at the early communists, they all 99 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: refer to themselves as socialists. So we're starting to parse 100 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 1: already here, aren't we. This is a guy who has 101 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,760 Speaker 1: said the worst things imaginable about police about prisons, about 102 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: running grocery stores, about rent control. I mean, he's just 103 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,560 Speaker 1: wrong on everything, but he smiles and he seems pleasant. 104 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: He also lies, though, Clay, this is a local NYC 105 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: Spanish language station, La Mega nine seven point nine w 106 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: s KEY w SkQ FM. Zoran is trying to tell her. 107 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 1: Remember how he said that his aunt couldn't ride the 108 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 1: subway after nine to eleven because of his lowmophobia. Turns 109 00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: out that's not true, and also she never even wore 110 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: a hit job play cut one. Here's how he explains it. 111 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 4: I was at the press conference, yes today. They said, 112 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 4: can you tell us who your aunt is? Who you 113 00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 4: were referring to? I said, yes, this is my aunt, 114 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: This is my Zera Phet, this is my father's cousin, 115 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,119 Speaker 4: and this was her story. 116 00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 1: So how can you convince New Yorkers if that is 117 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: the type of person that you are, in other words, 118 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: that you don't tell the truth. 119 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 4: Well, it's not a lie. My father's cousin is my aunt. 120 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 4: That's how I referred to her growing up, my whole life. Sarah, 121 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 4: and I think to have the takeaway from the New 122 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 4: York Post and so many others. After I gave a 123 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 4: speech outside of a mosque for ten minutes about the 124 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 4: Islamophobia we've seen in this race and in our politics 125 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 4: to be the question of whether or not deaf. He 126 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 4: was my aunt. 127 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: Clay, and he didn't lie. He just said something that 128 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: was untrue, got caught and now wants to move on. 129 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 3: And conveniently is now pointing to someone who's dead that 130 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 3: cannot be tracked down to talk about anything here. And 131 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 3: this is the Norm McDonald joke brought to fruition for 132 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 3: those of you who remember Norm McDonald Saturday Night Live comedian, 133 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040 Speaker 3: among many other jobs that he had when Saturday Night 134 00:07:56,120 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 3: Live was actually was actually a show worth watching, who 135 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: memorably said, when nuclear war happened and basically the population 136 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 3: was wiped out, can you imagine the Islamophobia that might arise? 137 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: And you know, if you remember back in nine to eleven, 138 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 3: as you well do, Buck twenty four years ago. Now, 139 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 3: the idea that the story of nine to eleven, within 140 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,680 Speaker 3: a quarter century of nine to eleven having happened, would 141 00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 3: be mobilized as a story about the unfair treatment of 142 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 3: people who were of the Muslim faith, is I think 143 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 3: a leave aside everything else. I mean, never forget, obviously, 144 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,719 Speaker 3: is the message that many people who lived through nine 145 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 3: to eleven continue to reiterate, including our friends at Ton 146 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: of the Towers, who I helped to raise money for 147 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 3: just a couple of weeks ago. But for the story 148 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,959 Speaker 3: to shift twenty four years later as an argument for 149 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 3: why New York should elect a Muslim mayor to in 150 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:05,680 Speaker 3: the aftermath of nine to eleven there was actually really 151 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 3: unfair treatment of people of this religious faith, regardless of 152 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: how the election goes. Buck is incredibly alarming, I think 153 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 3: for the future of New York City. 154 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,079 Speaker 1: Look, Mamdani had to create some version of victim status 155 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: for himself to be truly worthy of the left wing 156 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 1: adulation that he has. Right, and by the way, the 157 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: method by which white Democrats do this is going even 158 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 1: more hardcore on how bad white men are. Right, this 159 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: is the That's how you get around it. You go, oh, 160 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 1: my gosh, I'm part of as a white man, I'm 161 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 1: part of the problem. For Mamdani obviously not white. What 162 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: he says is, oh, I've suffered the Islamophobia. I've suffered 163 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 1: all this islamophobia, which, as as I've said, is a 164 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 1: nonsense term, an absurd tournament to shut down debate and 165 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: discussion and legitimate criticism of factions within a faith that 166 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 1: have engaged in a lot of violence, including the biggest 167 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: terrorist attack in the history of the modern world. So yes, 168 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: that is something that we should be able to look 169 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 1: at at Clay, It's not also unusual for the left. 170 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: I want to focus this back in a Momdani here. 171 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: I know you do too in a second, but just 172 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 1: something that as you were talking about this, the horrible 173 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: thing happens committed by a group that is ideologically motivated 174 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: to do it, and then we're told the real problem 175 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,960 Speaker 1: is that group may be targeted. That's not just with Islam, 176 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: radical Islam and terrorism. For example, look what happened after 177 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,840 Speaker 1: the Comington shooting in Tennessee. When you have these trans 178 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: mass murdering school shooters. What do you see all over 179 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: Blue Sky and a little bit on Twitter and on MSNBC. 180 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: Just think of all the blowback on the trans community. 181 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: Now it's no blowback on the trans community. We just 182 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,200 Speaker 1: don't want people shooting people. And if there are people 183 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: that are being told they should shoot people because there's 184 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: terrible stuff that's being done, that's a genocide, that's a lie. 185 00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 1: We should address that. 186 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 3: If twenty people in Clay and Buck gear showed up 187 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 3: and committed a mass murder anywhere in the United States. 188 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 1: I am on the. 189 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: Clay and Buck show, and I would be like, maybe 190 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 3: I shouldn't wear Clay and buckyer the next day, Like, 191 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,679 Speaker 3: but can we just go to the logic of this, 192 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,400 Speaker 3: like if if, if you don't even like this to 193 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: the Clay Buck audience, I get it, but I'm saying, random, Ax, 194 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: they're going to commit our our hugs and hanging out 195 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 3: and beer and American just kind of run through the logic. Here, 196 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,800 Speaker 3: you are Buck, I am Clay. If for people who 197 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 3: don't know, uh, if like we are Clay and Buck. 198 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 3: If a bunch of you in our gear committed a 199 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 3: mass murder, I don't think I would want to wear 200 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 3: a Clay and Buck shirt in the city where the 201 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 3: mass murder happened the next day. 202 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 1: And then my name is Clay. So like the whole 203 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 1: idea of if people. 204 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 3: That you are connected to in any form or fashion 205 00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 3: take away the religious aspect in any form or fashion, 206 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 3: like this is like even the argument, oh well, they 207 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,000 Speaker 3: were worried that people might well, hey, if people connected 208 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,440 Speaker 3: to you in any way have committed the worst terror 209 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 3: atrocity in modern American life. I don't think it's crazy 210 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 3: for you to think to yourself, hey, people might associate me. 211 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: With them and none, but that's rational your your but 212 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: left wing victimology dictates that when somebody from the left 213 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,680 Speaker 1: or from a group that you genuinely like or whatever, 214 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: does a terrible thing, you have to go in the 215 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,360 Speaker 1: other direction. You're the real victim. You're the one that 216 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: actually needs to be you know, thought of, and people 217 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: need to be offering prayers for It's the Norm MacDonald 218 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: joke made real, which is imagine if there was a 219 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: nuclear attack on New York City. Just think of all 220 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: the Islamophobia, right, Yeah, that is Zora Mamdani. That is 221 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 1: left wing booho pour me nonsense. And it's not just Zoron. 222 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: It is also tied in to the basic emotional impulses 223 00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 1: of socialism, which is always rooted in an authoritarianism of 224 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: there's inequality in society. Give me a lot of power 225 00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: as the socialist, as the people running you know, the 226 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:25,240 Speaker 1: socialist entity, and I will equalize everything. It's a very 227 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:32,080 Speaker 1: bad idea. It never works, It always destroys check out Venezuela, Cuba, 228 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 1: the Soviet Union, just go down the list. I just yes, 229 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:37,880 Speaker 1: all of that is true. 230 00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 3: I think it's really funny if you take it outside 231 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 3: of religion and just think about whatever group it is 232 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 3: and wearing their gear the next day, you'd be like, yeah, 233 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 3: I don't really think I want to do that. And 234 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 3: that is the cultural touchtone litmus test that Mamdani now 235 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 3: takes twenty four years later as the lesson of nine 236 00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:02,199 Speaker 3: to eleven. Feel bad for people who had to live 237 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 3: in New York City in the aftermath of nine to eleven. 238 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 1: Feel way more about this, arong the people who died. 239 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,000 Speaker 1: You're thinking about this three layers of analysis deeper than man. 240 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,960 Speaker 1: Mamdanni's just like, I'm a victim too, totally. Look what 241 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: happened in my family, right, I mean he doesn't even, 242 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 1: but you're going to the actual reality, the truth of this. 243 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't even. It doesn't matter to him. He just 244 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 1: wanted to complain. 245 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 3: The scary thing is buck kids today in college, all 246 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 3: of them were born post nine to eleven, And we 247 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 3: may think it's ridiculous when Mamdannie says, hey, my aunt 248 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 3: was a victim of nine to eleven. She didn't feel 249 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 3: comfortable on public transit in the city. Even if he's 250 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 3: completely lying, some of these moron kids out there who 251 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 3: haven't experienced nine to eleven and don't have any historical knowledge, 252 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: which unfortunately is huge majorities of the American population school 253 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,160 Speaker 3: children wise, they look around and they think to themselves, well, 254 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 3: that was really bad because of this toxic empathy. He 255 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 3: knows what he's doing. He's trying to change the history 256 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 3: and the narrative and make correct his side the victims. 257 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: We'll come back into this for a lot of discussions. 258 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: To stay with us. Look, there's AI, artificial intelligence. It's 259 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 1: changing the world right now. I mean something as simple 260 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 1: as using your maps app on your smartphone or calling 261 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: a business and being guided through the prompts. AI is 262 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 1: changing our lives. The AI assistant that I have on 263 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: my phone, I'm using it all the time. This White House, 264 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 1: this administration, well they've got a crypto and AIS are 265 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:29,400 Speaker 1: and they know that this is the future. It's going 266 00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: to change so much, and there's enormous opportunities.

We've been talking about the 289 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 3: overall election in New York City in particular, turnout is skyrocketing. 290 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:59,520 Speaker 3: So I mentioned this yesterday. This may be the largest 291 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 3: turnout in a New York City election since nineteen ninety 292 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 3: three when Rudy Giuliani won. The prediction markets have had 293 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 3: a bit of a surge in the direction of Andrew Cuomo. 294 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 3: When we come back. Andrew Cuomo was on with Maria 295 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 3: Bartiromo this morning on Fox Business and really took a 296 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 3: two by four to the left of the Democrat Party. 297 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: And we will play all of that for you when 298 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:31,840 Speaker 3: we come back, because again the math out there is 299 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 3: the math, and we'll ask Curtis about this. I think, unfortunately, Buck, 300 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 3: when we get these results come in, there are going 301 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:41,280 Speaker 3: to be more people who vote for Cuomo and for 302 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 3: Sliwa than vote for Mom Donnie. But I think Mom 303 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 3: Donnie is on track to win because he's going to 304 00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 3: have the most of three candidates. Would it change if 305 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 3: Sleewa were out. I think Sliwa is going to disagree 306 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,200 Speaker 3: with you on them.

And 331 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: then you have Curtis Sliwah running as the Republican in 332 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: this race. Curtis is going to make his case. Many 333 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: of you in the New York area have been saying, hey, guys, 334 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520 Speaker 1: you gotta have Curtis on. Of course, we're gonna have 335 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,960 Speaker 1: Curtis on, and we have tried to have Cuomo on. 336 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: He is dodging and weaving and stalling, kind of like 337 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 1: his campaign. Yeah, not really taking anything all that. Seriously, 338 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: Cuomo turns out not very good at politics. That's that's 339 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: a thing that can happen when you've only gotten where 340 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: you are because people know your last name because daddy 341 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,639 Speaker 1: was the governor for a long time. So this is 342 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 1: what we have seen with him. But let's dive in, 343 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: mister Clay to more of this U more of this 344 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,959 Speaker 1: Mamdani stuff out there. I don't know which is the 345 00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 1: worst one of these two. So let me start with this. 346 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,399 Speaker 1: These are flashbacks. Now, this is twenty twenty, twenty twenty one. 347 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 1: I would argue the campaign is saying that Mamdani campaign 348 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,760 Speaker 1: is saying, oh, he's evolved. No, Actually, what you saw 349 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: with people in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one is 350 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: what do they really think? Because when all of a 351 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 1: sudden they felt free to be as radical left and 352 00:20:28,040 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 1: insane as they want with no not only no consequence, 353 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,160 Speaker 1: but it was in their interest to do so, they 354 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: let it rip. So they showed you who they really 355 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: were in twenty twenty and twenty twenty one, whether it 356 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 1: was on COVID or BLM or any of these things. 357 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: Clay here is Mamdanni on police and prisons in August 358 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty is before that election that as we oh, 359 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: we'll talk about that at another time. This has cut four 360 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: play it. 361 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 6: The way that prisons are set up in our society, 362 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 6: I would argue that they do not work. They do 363 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 6: not make us safer. The instinct is to just take 364 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 6: that person, the source of that harm, the source of 365 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 6: that issue, and then just throw them away, put them 366 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,200 Speaker 6: in a cage and throw away the That doesn't address 367 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,520 Speaker 6: the reason why that arm was created in the first place. 368 00:21:12,600 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 6: A lot of times people who create trauma for others 369 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 6: are those who themselves went through trauma earlier in their 370 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 6: own lives. And I bring all of this up to 371 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,200 Speaker 6: say that, you know, again, like when we talk about policing, 372 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:26,040 Speaker 6: I don't think the system actually makes us safer. I 373 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 6: think what it does is it just removes problems. 374 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 7: Out of view. 375 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: So Clay, when someone has been arrested fifty or one 376 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 1: hundred times, which is not unusual in New York City 377 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 1: for the criminal class. The problem, according to Mamdani, is 378 00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 1: us is everybody else is the law abiding people of 379 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,959 Speaker 1: New York City. Prisons don't make us safer. This is 380 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: why old ladies can't walk down the street in some 381 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 1: cities in America, including some neighborhoods. New York overall is 382 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,119 Speaker 1: pretty safe, but some neighborhoods of New York without getting 383 00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: some maniac punching them in face. 384 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 3: How much of this and we've got other cuts that 385 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: I think we need to play too. So prisons don't 386 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,399 Speaker 3: make us safer. We also have This is more detailed, 387 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: And this sounds like a lot of sort of I 388 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 3: would say colonialism clap trap that is taught its people 389 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 3: like his dad. But here he says that he got 390 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,080 Speaker 3: into politics to fight apartheid from the inside. Let's play 391 00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 3: this too. This is Cut three. This is from June 392 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:33,679 Speaker 3: of twenty twenty one. 393 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 7: I respect that there are many differences of opinion about 394 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,160 Speaker 7: the value of electoralism, the value of engaging with the state, 395 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 7: But I do think that as long as the state 396 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:46,800 Speaker 7: has this monopoly on violence, then we have to contest 397 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 7: the state at every which point and every which place, 398 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 7: and there is an opportunity to have our voices heard 399 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 7: within the state. And obviously, by becoming a member of 400 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 7: the state in terms of its political class, you are 401 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,919 Speaker 7: compromised because you're legitimizing it in many ways. But I 402 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 7: think if I didn't see the ability for us to 403 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 7: claim victories from the inside, then I wouldn't be doing. 404 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:14,399 Speaker 3: This, Okay, I mean he is a committed left wing idiologue. 405 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 3: Let's also play cut two. This is June fifth, twenty 406 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:22,239 Speaker 3: twenty one. This is where he says the NYPD and 407 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,119 Speaker 3: the IDF. 408 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 1: If you're wondering, like, how did the world. 409 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 3: Did so many leftists end up in this world where 410 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 3: they're camping on campuses they're protesting, This is the kind 411 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 3: of talk that propels that this is very common on 412 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 3: college campuses. 413 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 7: Cut too, the cruelty of what is happening in Israel 414 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 7: in Palestine, it is a cruelty that is systematized and 415 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 7: does not simply rise and fall when the IDF decides 416 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 7: to kill men, women, children, and families beyond the binary 417 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 7: in Palestine in different moments of spikes. I think of 418 00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 7: how the NYPD and the IDF have had a relationship 419 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 7: for many years, a relationship that has meant tactics of 420 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 7: oppression crossing from one country to the other, and that 421 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 7: has meant an increased surveillance and oppression of marginalized people 422 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 7: wherever they may be. 423 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 3: So, I mean, all of this is goblygook university campus talk. 424 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 3: But what's important here Buck and we hit on this yesterday, 425 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,919 Speaker 3: and I think it's important for all of you is 426 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:28,200 Speaker 3: to understand that when he says he's disavowing this, everyone 427 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 3: who hears this knows that he is lying when he's 428 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 3: saying he disavows this, because this is not some off 429 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 3: the cuff comment that happened to be made, and it's 430 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 3: not deeply thought. He believes intellectually in the idea that 431 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 3: Israel is in apartheid state, that the NYPD exist as 432 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: a colonialist occupier to put their boots on the throats 433 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 3: of minority, and that you must overthrow the systems of 434 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 3: government that exist in the United States in order for 435 00:24:57,040 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 3: the people to truly be free. That's what he believes. 436 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 3: So you can't suddenly say, oh, I misspoke a few 437 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,080 Speaker 3: times back in twenty and twenty one, and you're right. 438 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:09,440 Speaker 3: This was the era when leftist felt the most free 439 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 3: to say what they truly believed because their power was 440 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 3: in ascendants. 441 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: And he's mentioning the IDF here, which you might say, 442 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 1: what does that have to do with the the NYPD. 443 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: So I was in NYPD Intelligence now Bureau, formerly divisioned, 444 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,479 Speaker 1: And yeah, the NYPD has relationships with law enforcement in Israel. 445 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: It also has relationships with law enforcement in dozens of 446 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: countries all over the world, in the UK, in Australia, 447 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 1: in France, you know, in Japan. Find me a country 448 00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: that America has a close relationship with, and there's a 449 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 1: pretty good chance the NYPD has some kind of liaison 450 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,880 Speaker 1: relationship with that country. Why the IDF, like, or rather 451 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: why Israel? Right, we know the answer, but it's just 452 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 1: so it's just so telling that he finds this this 453 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: little thing. Oh, because the New York Police Department has 454 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:07,920 Speaker 1: a relationship with law enforcement in Israel, mostly in Tel Aviv. 455 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 1: There's some nefarious thing going on here. And what was 456 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: the line he used that when it's the boots of 457 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: the NYPD, the IDF is lacing them up. I mean, 458 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 1: that's really that's like protocols of the Elders of Zion 459 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: kind of anti Semitism and anti And this guy is 460 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,400 Speaker 1: going to become the mayor of New York City, which 461 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 1: actually has more I think it has more Jewish people 462 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 1: in New York City than Tel Aviv. So that's interesting 463 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: that this guy is somehow going to be the mayor 464 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 1: of New York But a lot of Upper West Side 465 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:41,800 Speaker 1: Jewish Americans are going to vote for this guy, Klay, 466 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 1: That's the part that's so crazy. Yeah. 467 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,600 Speaker 3: And also I would say, if Jews were really running 468 00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 3: the country, don't you think they could maybe have a 469 00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 3: mayor who doesn't hate them in New York City? I 470 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:56,880 Speaker 3: mean for people, because there's people on the right now 471 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,919 Speaker 3: who say, oh, you're owned by Israel, Oh Israel's running everything. Okay, 472 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 3: don't you think if Israel was running everything that they 473 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,879 Speaker 3: would pick someone as mayor of New York City who 474 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 3: has Buck just pointed out, has a large Jewish population 475 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 3: that doesn't hate them. And this is honestly where Andrew Cuomo, 476 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 3: who is also an awful candidate. There's all this stuff 477 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:21,479 Speaker 3: out there that Mam Donnie has said that should be 478 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 3: fertile for anyone who is good at politics or running campaigns, 479 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: which evidently Andrew Cuomo is not. I think partly it's 480 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,680 Speaker 3: that he's still relying on legacy media, because that's how 481 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:36,959 Speaker 3: he has fueled his entire political career, and legacy media 482 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,360 Speaker 3: every day becomes less powerful and less popular, and Mom 483 00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 3: Donnie has leaned into stupid TikTok videos and doing ads 484 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 3: during The Bachelor and all these things that people in 485 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 3: their twenties and thirties look at and are connected to. 486 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,399 Speaker 3: Let's listen to this. This is Cuomo a little bit 487 00:27:56,440 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 3: earlier today on Fox Business with Maria Bartarn saying the 488 00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,240 Speaker 3: left wing of the Democrat Party will destroy the Democrats. 489 00:28:05,480 --> 00:28:09,280 Speaker 8: Listen, there's a quiet civil war going on in the 490 00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 8: Democratic Party right now. You have an extreme left, radical 491 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:18,600 Speaker 8: left Bernie Sanders AOC Mamdani is just the banner carrier 492 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:23,760 Speaker 8: for that movement versus the mainstream moderate Democrats. They now 493 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 8: call me moderate, They used to call me liberal. Now 494 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 8: I'm a moderate because the whole party shifted, and that's 495 00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 8: what this election is about. It is that civil war. 496 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 8: I believe that far left will destroy the Democratic Party. 497 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,280 Speaker 8: I believe it will destroy the Democratic Party nationwide if 498 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:45,640 Speaker 8: that far left becomes dominant. 499 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 3: I think he's one hundred percent right about this book. 500 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: The problem is what he is pointing to I think 501 00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 3: actually benefits Mamdanni in New York City because I think 502 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 3: a lot of young people are frustrated. And when you 503 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,200 Speaker 3: are frustrated, you challenge the consensus, candidates, people in positions 504 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 3: of power, the guys who know how to talk to 505 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 3: all the CEOs you live through this. Occupy Wall Street 506 00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,080 Speaker 3: is just a form of what Mamdani is basically arguing, 507 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:17,480 Speaker 3: now distilled in a more articulate, front facing version. You 508 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 3: may be able to speak to it. I don't remember 509 00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:22,280 Speaker 3: was there ever a really great spokesperson for Occupy Wall Street. 510 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 3: I don't remember one who really kind of captivated the nation. 511 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 3: Mamdanni is in many ways a voice for that anger 512 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 3: that has been percolating in New York City for a 513 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 3: long time. 514 00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:37,280 Speaker 1: Well, what was fascinating about Occupy Wall Street was it 515 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: was done under the Obama administration. Yeah, and so there 516 00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: was all this the. 517 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,680 Speaker 2: People in charge, I mean, not Obama, but like the 518 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 2: other people are like really best. 519 00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,160 Speaker 1: So if it had been a Republican it would have 520 00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: had a lot more oomph behind it. Yeah, right, But 521 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: people have said it was more a meme than a movement. 522 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:56,479 Speaker 1: I think that's probably an accurate description of it. But 523 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:59,520 Speaker 1: it did have a lot of the class warfare stuff 524 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 1: going on, and it was a collective so there was 525 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: no individual spokesperson for it. But isn't interesting Occupy Wall 526 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:12,320 Speaker 1: Street and the first iteration of BLM happened on Obama's watch, 527 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,160 Speaker 1: which was so it was this game of like, we're 528 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 1: so upset at the people in charge. They're all bought 529 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:20,880 Speaker 1: off by corporate interest, but not Obama. I mean, he's 530 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: basically Jesus. I mean, he's incredible, He's a deity. This also, 531 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: by the way, with Mom Donnie. I think this is 532 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,240 Speaker 1: so important for those of you out there who say, well, 533 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: I don't care about what happens in the Middle East. 534 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:34,760 Speaker 3: I don't care about what happens in Israel. They are 535 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: exporting the same arguments from Israel in the Middle East 536 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: to the United States now and This is a story 537 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:41,880 Speaker 3: that I wanted to hit Buck, and I'll mention it 538 00:30:41,960 --> 00:30:44,800 Speaker 3: right now. But Mam Donnie's father, we played the cut 539 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:49,800 Speaker 3: yesterday of him saying Abraham Lincoln was Hitler's motivation as 540 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 3: his guide for the Holocaust. Mom Donnie's dad wrote a 541 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:00,080 Speaker 3: book post nine to eleven saying the United States and 542 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: al Qaeda were moral equivalents because the US invaded Afghanistan, 543 00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 3: which he saw as a similar in nature act as 544 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,320 Speaker 3: the attack on the World Trade centers. And you say, okay, 545 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 3: well that's crazy. This is what they have argued that 546 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 3: Israel's response to October seventh, when twelve hundred Jews were killed, 547 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: two hundreds of them were captured and held hostage for years, 548 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: that Israel was the moral equivalent of Hamas in the 549 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: way that they responded. And this argument started with oh yeah, sure, 550 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 3: nine to eleven, al Qaeda flew into American skyscrapers and 551 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 3: killed thousands of people. But America's response to al Qaeda 552 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:48,040 Speaker 3: was in fact the same as al Qaida, And in fact, 553 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 3: the Mamdani's dads of the world, Buck, as you well 554 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 3: know because you saw it happen at your school, argued 555 00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 3: that America deserved it because we actually started and provoked 556 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 3: the nine to eleven attack. In their mind based on 557 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 3: things that America had done in the past. 558 00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 1: Including of course big friends with Israel, so that that's 559 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:11,280 Speaker 1: always that's always in there, somehow, always a part of it, 560 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: isn't it with these Islamo fascist types.

All of the 612 00:34:56,040 --> 00:35:01,760 Speaker 3: numbers reflect that Mom Donnie is facing a real charge 613 00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,560 Speaker 3: from Cuomo. 614 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:06,640 Speaker 1: Curtisly was not going to drop. 615 00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 3: Out, but I am afraid that when we wake up 616 00:35:12,239 --> 00:35:14,840 Speaker 3: on Wednesday morning, we are going to look at the 617 00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,920 Speaker 3: total number of votes that have come in, and I'm 618 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,840 Speaker 3: gonna tell Curtis this right off the top. When we 619 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,480 Speaker 3: join him, when he joins us, I'm going to see 620 00:35:22,520 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 3: I think that Cuomo and Sliwa got more votes than 621 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 3: Mam Donnie. But this crazy left wing, frankly anti American 622 00:35:33,239 --> 00:35:35,719 Speaker 3: is going to be the mayor running the biggest city 623 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,080 Speaker 3: in America. Are you also afraid or do you have 624 00:35:38,200 --> 00:35:41,960 Speaker 3: more optimism? As we sit here six days out for 625 00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,560 Speaker 3: what the results are going to be in and people 626 00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:48,240 Speaker 3: are already voting uh in New York City, I think. 627 00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie's Mom Donnie's gonna win no matter what. 628 00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 3: I'm pretty pretty say accepted the outcome. 629 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,959 Speaker 1: I think Mom Donni's winning the New York City mayor's race. Yeah, 630 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: from everything that I've seen so far, I would love 631 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:04,000 Speaker 1: it if Sleeve would win. But I think part of 632 00:36:04,040 --> 00:36:06,719 Speaker 1: it also, I think Cuomo is horrible. I don't know 633 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,279 Speaker 1: why everyone thinks Cuomo's gonna be so much better than 634 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,080 Speaker 1: Mom Donnie. I think Cuomo is horrible. So I'm a 635 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,279 Speaker 1: I'm a little more uh in that in that I 636 00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,360 Speaker 1: don't think there's some last minute way to make Cuomo 637 00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,120 Speaker 1: the mayor by Sleeve Wad dropping out, and that that 638 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: would be so much better for New York. So I'm 639 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:23,359 Speaker 1: kind of let the chips fall where they may at 640 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:26,920 Speaker 1: this point play. But we'll see no doubt. All right, 641 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,440 Speaker 1: when we come back, we will talk with Curtis Slee. 642 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 1: What get your popcorn? He can tee off on me. 643 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: I'll make it clear. 644 00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:35,560 Speaker 3: I've said, if Curtis Lee what wins I do a 645 00:36:36,320 --> 00:36:39,319 Speaker 3: entire week in the Beret that I will open up 646 00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 3: at Bar tab in a sports bar in New York 647 00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,560 Speaker 3: City somewhere where they have sane owners of that sports bar, 648 00:36:45,800 --> 00:36:48,560 Speaker 3: and set up a celebration for everybody listening on w 649 00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 3: o R.
