I've been saying now for years, 35 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 2: and they've been in business for well over a decade, 36 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: that it is amazing coverage.

I am proud to report to you that 40 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 2: my phone worked in Israel. I traveled internationally and had 41 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: zero issues with my sales service. Whether I was in Bethlehem, 42 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: are literally calling from gaza at the Gaza Strip. This 43 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 2: is not a joke. I had amazing coverage everywhere that 44 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 2: I went. I flew back to the US, my phone 45 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 2: worked perfectly, my emails, all the data I was posting 46 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: on social media from my phone Tel Aviv last night. 47 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 2: It was phenomenal. So if you're worried about coverage, don't be. 48 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 2: Now why should you switch to Patriot Mobile. Not only 49 00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 2: are you probably gonna save real money every month, but 50 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 2: then the magic happens. A portion of your bill every 51 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 2: month goes back to support conservative causes, candidates, organizations that 52 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: fight for our First and our Second Amendment rights, the 53 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 2: rights of unborn children, and they do something that's really special. 54 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,480 Speaker 2: They stand with our men and women in uniform, whether 55 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 2: it's police officers or law law enforcement in general, or 56 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: our men and women that fight for this country overseas. 57 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 2: They stand with our wounded warriors and our fallen families 58 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 2: who've lost a loved one, so that there is the 59 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: financial need and aid that is needed. So that's why 60 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: I want you to switch to Patriot Mobile, because every 61 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: time you pay that bill, you're making a real difference.

Because it's just insane. 71 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: This is the longest shutdown ever and there's Democrats that 72 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: are celebrating this right now, let's be clear about that 73 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 2: as well. 74 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, Unfortunately, there's been a whole lot of hurry up 75 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 3: and wait. We are expected sometime today, sometime on Friday, 76 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: to vote yet again on another bill to reopen the government. 77 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: The plan is to have a vote that has three 78 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: appropriations bills, has the ag appropriation bills that also includes 79 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 3: food stamps, a bill that is the Military Construction Appropriation Bill, 80 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 3: and the Veterans Administration and the Led Branch Appropriation bills. 81 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 3: Those are three appropriation bills that passed with big bipartisan 82 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: majorities out of the Appropriations Committee. The plan is to 83 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: put that on the floor of the Senate today along 84 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: with a continuing resolution that would extend the rest of 85 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 3: government and vote on it. And the amazing thing is 86 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 3: this was the Democrats. They're asked they wanted to do this. Now, 87 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 3: I think there's a very real possibility the Democrats will 88 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 3: vote it down later today, we don't know. The Democrats 89 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: are having a vigorous battle within their conference. At lunch 90 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 3: yesterday they were apparently going at it. And there's a 91 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,680 Speaker 3: chunk of Democrats who recognize that this is really hurting 92 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 3: a lot of people. This is hurting. It's now been 93 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: over a month. You've got federal workers who are not 94 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: getting paid. You've got Border patrol agents who are not 95 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 3: getting paid. You've got ICE agents who are not getting paid. 96 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: You've got FBI agents who are not getting paid. You 97 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 3: have TSA were agents who are not getting paid. You 98 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 3: ever traffic controllers who are not getting paid. And and 99 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: this keeps going and going and going. And so there 100 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 3: are about a dozen Democrats who keep talking to the 101 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: Republicans and saying, Okay, we're getting ready to be ready 102 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:18,960 Speaker 3: to open the government. Here's the problem. Tuesday was a 103 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: horrible election for America. But if you're a left wing radical, 104 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,600 Speaker 3: it was a great election. For you, and the left 105 00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 3: wing radicals are now energized. So you've got the crazies 106 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: in the Democrat Party are standing up to their colleagues 107 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: saying this shutdown is fantastic. Let's keep the government shut 108 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 3: down more because the crazies are winning. And so that battle. 109 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 3: I don't know how that battle will shake out, but. 110 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 2: It's a battle, by the way, the Democrats are having 111 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 2: right now. That's why we had to updig this show. 112 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: They're fighting right now. There's a significant group of donors, supporters, 113 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 2: political operatives that are calling and saying, do not open 114 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,160 Speaker 2: this government. Guys, we believe this is good for us 115 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 2: in hurting Donald Trump in the White House, and be damned, 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 2: who hurts of the American people. 117 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 3: Look and in hearings, I mean, I had multiple Democrats 118 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 3: yesterday who would say their talking point. They say, well, 119 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,240 Speaker 3: Republicans have the White House, Republicans control the Senate, Republicans 120 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: control the House. This is your fault. That's their talking point. 121 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: And as I responded to Ben ray Luhan, Democrat from 122 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: New Mexico, said that, I said, you know, every witness 123 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 3: when they go and testify in a court of law, 124 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,479 Speaker 3: they're required to take an oath and an oath to 125 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 3: testify to the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but 126 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 3: the truth. And what mister Luhan said each of the 127 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 3: pieces was accurate. He told the truth, but he failed 128 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 3: in the second of those, the whole truth, because he 129 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 3: omitted the central issue. And the central issue is this, 130 00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 3: in order to pass a government funding bill under the 131 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: Senate rules, you need sixty votes now yep, Senator Luhan, 132 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 3: and every Democrat knows that we only have fifty three Republicans. 133 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 3: That means we need at least seven Democrats to open 134 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: the government again. They know that the reason the government 135 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,160 Speaker 3: is shut down fourteen different times, the Republicans we have 136 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,480 Speaker 3: voted to open the government fourteen separate times. The Democrats 137 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 3: have voted to keep it shut down. They are filibustering 138 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 3: right now funding the government. They know that, and they 139 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 3: just omit the facts. They say, Wow, Republicans are in 140 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 3: charge and there's a shutdown, so it's your fault, haha. 141 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:29,440 Speaker 3: And it is profoundly dishonest. And understand they know they're 142 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 3: being dishonest. But you know who also knows they're being dishonest. 143 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 3: ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, CNN, MSNBC. 144 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 1: And none of them are covered us. 145 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like, well, the Republicans shut the government down, 146 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 3: and they just they know their lying, and they're doing 147 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 3: it nonetheless because they think it gives political benefits to 148 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: the Democrats. 149 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's facts be damned. Let me ask you 150 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 2: this question as well. Do you believe that the American 151 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: people are now at the point where they're so frustrated 152 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 2: that this becomes a political liability for the presidency because 153 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: of what the media is doing. And we'll explain more 154 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: about that after the break, but I want your initial 155 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:10,120 Speaker 2: thoughts on that. 156 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,239 Speaker 3: Look, I think people are very frustrated, and it's about 157 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 3: to get much much worse because flight delays are about 158 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 3: to step get dramatically worse. And in just a moment, 159 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you about a conversation I had 160 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 3: with the administrator of the FAA as to why flight 161 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 3: delays are going to get so much worse and how 162 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 3: it's going to impact you or your family if you're 163 00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: flying anywhere, if you're flying for vacation, if you're flying 164 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,839 Speaker 3: for work, this is going to impact you in a big, 165 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 3: big way. And I hope that will finally pressure the 166 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 3: Democrats to do the right thing and let us reopen 167 00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:43,959 Speaker 3: the government. 168 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 2: Democrats have clearly orchestrated this to inflict pain now. I 169 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: was flying Thursday night into Friday internationally, coming into two 170 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 2: major reports, one from Tel Aviv into Newark and then 171 00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 2: Newark to ih Houston. The problems you could see as 172 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 2: soon as. 173 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 1: We land in New York. 174 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,200 Speaker 2: We landed there about three am, and the lines were 175 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 2: outside and there were people that were crying when we 176 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: were changing your bags. You grab your bags from nationally, 177 00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: you go back and recheck them in for domestic people 178 00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,199 Speaker 2: that had been there overnight. People were sleeping in a 179 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 2: lot of the corridors of the airport. That was very 180 00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 2: clear there was a breakdown. There was starting to be 181 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,719 Speaker 2: a breakdown. The lines were insanely long as well when 182 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 2: you're going through security, and you can see Democrats are 183 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 2: cheering this, thinking this will be a breaking point for 184 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,720 Speaker 2: the American people. When I arrived in Houston, it was 185 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,439 Speaker 2: also turning into what I refer to is that holidays 186 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 2: type chaos. You've ever flown at Thanksgiving or or Christmas, 187 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: New Year's You know what I'm talking about. That is 188 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:52,960 Speaker 2: the feel that you're starting to get in the airports. 189 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 2: I think in a lot of places nationwide. This is 190 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 2: all by designed by the Democrats, hoping you'll just throw 191 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 2: your hands up, say enough, make a deal Republicans, and 192 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 2: just give into whatever they want so I can go 193 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 2: back to my normal life. 194 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 3: So let me give it. Give you some facts and 195 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 3: hard data behind that. There are roughly fifty thousand TSA agents. 196 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,960 Speaker 3: Many of them are going into work every day. They're 197 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: not being paid. They missed their last paycheck. They're not 198 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 3: being paid. That means that they're trying to figure out 199 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,320 Speaker 3: how to pay their mortgage, how to pay their rent, 200 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 3: how to feed their kids, how to pay their basic bills. 201 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 3: They're roughly fourteen thousand air traffic controllers across the country. 202 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 3: Many of them are going into work as well. They're 203 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,079 Speaker 3: not being paid, they missed their last paycheck. The consequence 204 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 3: we've seen thousands upon thousands of flights canceled. We've seen 205 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 3: many more flights delayed, And just this week, the FAA 206 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: announced a mandatory ten percent reduction on air traffic in 207 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 3: the forty largest airports in America. Now, yesterday I did 208 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: a call with the administra of the FAA and he 209 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 3: gave some more details. So the forty airports in Texas. 210 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 3: That includes Bush Airport in Huge Houston, it includes Hobby 211 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 3: Airport in Houston, it includes DFW Airport in Dallas, and 212 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 3: it includes Dallas love Field. So those are the four 213 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 3: Texas airports. But it's forty biggest airports in the country. 214 00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 3: Now here's what the FAA told us. And this was 215 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 3: a call with me with Maria Cantwell, who's the ranking 216 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 3: member of the Senate Commerce Committee that the senior Democrat, 217 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: and then the same two the top Republican and Democrat 218 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 3: in the House committee that has jurisdiction over the FAA administrator. 219 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 3: Bedford said the safety data started to get worse last week. 220 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 3: Last Friday, which was Halloween, half of the busiest thirty 221 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 3: air traffic control facilities were short staffed. That included New York, Austin, Newark, Phoenix, Washington, Nashville, Dallas, 222 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 3: and Denver. Listened to this statistic, nearly eighty percent eight 223 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 3: zero percent of the air traffic controllers in New York 224 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 3: City called out, in other words, they didn't show up 225 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 3: to work. This is Chuck Schumer's home jurisdiction. Nearly eighty 226 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 3: percent of the controllers did not come into work. Delays 227 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 3: were dramatic as a result. Here's the aggregate data. This 228 00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: is the whole national airspace system. The aggregate data looked okay, 229 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,319 Speaker 3: but de aggregated data so when they broke it down 230 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 3: at the top forty airports painted a different picture. Here's 231 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: a stat that is very concerning. Pilots filed more than 232 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 3: five hundred voluntary safety reports about air traffic control problems 233 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 3: they were encountering the fare hundred more than five hundred. 234 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: The FAA continually tracks data, and they did the right 235 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 3: thing by identifying a trend. And the controllers they are overworked, 236 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,719 Speaker 3: they are fatigued. You have many fewer controllers who are 237 00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 3: responsible for keeping people safe. It is already an incredible 238 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 3: high stress job. And the way the reductions are going 239 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: to work, airlines will incrementally reduce flights. So they're reducing 240 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 3: flights by four percent today, by six percent on Tuesday, 241 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:18,319 Speaker 3: by eight percent on Thursday, and then ten percent reductions 242 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 3: on Friday. So what is that? What does that mean? 243 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 3: Math Wise? There are roughly forty five thousand commercial flights 244 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,760 Speaker 3: a day, and that means nearly five thousand flights are 245 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:34,960 Speaker 3: going to be canceled every single day. If the shutdown 246 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 3: extends now. The Department of Transportation is requiring the airlines 247 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 3: to give full refunds. But five thousand flights a day, 248 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,079 Speaker 3: that's going to impact if you assume one hundred people 249 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 3: on each flight, and many many flights have more than 250 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 3: one hundred people. But if you assume one hundred people 251 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: on each flight, that is five hundred thousand people a 252 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 3: day who. 253 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 1: Are going I think that's probably a low number. 254 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,520 Speaker 3: I'm sure, sure it's a low number. But it's easy math. 255 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 3: I'm a lawyer, not a mathematician. Five hundred thousand people 256 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 3: a day are going to have their flights canceled because 257 00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 3: Chuck Schumer and the Democrats refuse to pay the salaries 258 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:18,239 Speaker 3: of the air traffic controllers and listen, a senior Democrat 259 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 3: aid told Politico that the Democrats will keep the government 260 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 3: shut down until quote until planes start falling from the sky. 261 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 3: This shutdown is dangerous. That's not funny, that's not a 262 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 3: good thing to joke about. We did see one plane 263 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 3: crash already of a ups plane, and god forbid that 264 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 3: Democrat staffer's projection comes true. But the Democrats are playing 265 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 3: with fire. They are gambling with people's lives. And we 266 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 3: need to pay the damn air traffic controllers. And the 267 00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 3: American people are paying the price of this petulant politically. 268 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 2: To be clear, you guys have had the abilit Democrats 269 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 2: said yes to pay them and keep them working. 270 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: Correct. 271 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, we actually had a separate vote. So Ron Johnson 272 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 3: had a bill that said pay essential workers. It was 273 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 3: very simple. It said everyone who has to come into work, 274 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 3: and that includes air traffic controllers, they should get paid. 275 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,160 Speaker 3: We should not freeze their paycheck. And you know what happened. 276 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 3: The Democrats party line voted against it, said nope, we're 277 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 3: not going to pay the federal workers that were making 278 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 3: come into work. We're not going to pay the air 279 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 3: traffic controllers. And the reason they do that is because 280 00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: they know the press will lie for them and just 281 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: blame it all on Trump. It's a straight up vote. 282 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,040 Speaker 3: The Republicans are voting to open the government, the Democrats 283 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 3: are voting to shut it down, and yet they're lying 284 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: with the media's happy complicity. 285 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: All right, so let's break down the election. It was 286 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 2: a quote disaster. The media was just thrilled of what 287 00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 2: happened on election night. Mandani is the one though that 288 00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 2: I want to really focus on for a second. 289 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,479 Speaker 1: He is a communist. He's a proud communist. 290 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 2: He went back to his core beliefs in his victory speech, 291 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 2: basically yelling at Donald Trump and saying, we are at 292 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 2: communist city. The red Apple literally now is red apple 293 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: of communism. 294 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: Breaking this down. 295 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 2: This seems to be a point where Democrats are actually 296 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 2: almost doubling down on this type of extremism in the party. 297 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: I think this is actually going to grow between now 298 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: and the midterms. And I want your reaction to what 299 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:26,880 Speaker 2: we learned. 300 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 3: Well, Comrade Mundami is the face of the Democrat party now. 301 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 3: And I got to say the election results this week, 302 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,400 Speaker 3: they were a disaster. That they were an absolute blowout. 303 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 3: What is striking as several things. Number one, turnout was 304 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,280 Speaker 3: exceptionally high among the left wing base, and that's a 305 00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 3: real warning sign for next year for the midterms. The 306 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 3: left showed up in massive numbers. They're pissed, they hate 307 00:16:55,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: Donald Trump, and that anger is dangerous, that anger is motivating, 308 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,400 Speaker 3: and too many folks on the right, too many kind 309 00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 3: of in the common sense middle stayed home. And I 310 00:17:08,520 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 3: will tell you if you look historically, all right, let's 311 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 3: go back to two thousand and eight. Two thousand and eight, 312 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 3: Barack Obama's elected. As a result, a lot of folks 313 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,600 Speaker 3: on the right, you and me included, were really unhappy. 314 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,400 Speaker 3: We didn't like Barack Obama's policies. We were pissed off. 315 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: Twenty ten was a massive title wave year. It was 316 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 3: the Tea Party wave, and it was in large part 317 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 3: because those on the right were particularly energized and angry. 318 00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 3: Fast forward to twenty twelve. Twenty twelve, Barack Obama's re 319 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 3: elected president and the reaction again. Twenty fourteen was another 320 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 3: wave election, a huge election. We won nine Senate seats, 321 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 3: We retired Harry Reid as majority leader. We won the 322 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 3: biggest majority in the House since nineteen twenty eight. And 323 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 3: it was because, again, those on the right were angry. 324 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: They were energized, they were contributing money, they volunteered, and 325 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 3: those on the left were complacent. By the way. Fast 326 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,639 Speaker 3: forward to twenty eighteen. Donald Trump had just been elected 327 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 3: in twenty sixteen. Twenty eighteen was a very good Democrat year. 328 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 3: We lost a bunch of seats. Why because the left 329 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 3: was really energized and folks on the right were a 330 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 3: little bit complacent. This week's election day suggests that we're 331 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,160 Speaker 3: in real danger of that happening again in twenty twenty six. 332 00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 3: That the left, I'll tell you on fundraising, the left 333 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 3: is out raising the right anywhere between three to one 334 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 3: and four to one. That is really really dangerous. And 335 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 3: the turnout. The turnout in Virginia, the left showed up 336 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,159 Speaker 3: in much bigger numbers. The turnout in New Jersey, the 337 00:18:32,200 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 3: left showed up in much bigger numbers. The turnout in 338 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: New York City, the left turned out in much bigger numbers. Now, Ben, 339 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 3: I'll tell you one of the most interesting do you 340 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 3: know what demographic was dominated by the radical left wing 341 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 3: on election day? 342 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: This is shocking because you and I we geek out 343 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 2: on the political stuff and dad after elections, young people 344 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: in the Democratic Party were really ready to go vote. 345 00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:00,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, but let me be more precise, young women, and 346 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 3: let me give you some stats. In New York City, 347 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,680 Speaker 3: among young women eighteen to twenty nine, eighty one percent, 348 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 3: eighty one percent voted for Comrade Mandani. In New Jersey 349 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 3: eighteen to twenty nine, Wow. In New Jersey, among young women, 350 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 3: eighty percent voted for mikey Cheryl the Democrat. In New 351 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 3: Jersey of young women. In Virginia, seventy eight percent of 352 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 3: young women voted for Abigail Spanberger. It was dominant. And 353 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 3: by the way, to give you a comparison, because yes, 354 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 3: young people went left, but there was there was a 355 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 3: big gender gap. So young women in New York eighty 356 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 3: one percent for Mondamie, young men sixty four percent for Mondammie, 357 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 3: so almost a twenty point gender gap. How about New 358 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 3: Jersey young women eighty percent for Mikey Cheryl, fifty four 359 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,600 Speaker 3: percent of young men, so a twenty five twenty six 360 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:06,680 Speaker 3: percent gender gap in New Jersey. How about Virginia, seventy 361 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:11,000 Speaker 3: eight percent for span Berger of young women, just fifty 362 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 3: six percent of young men in Virginia. So we saw 363 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: that this was a race where the single most overwhelming 364 00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 3: demographic was young women, which was so overwhelmingly lopsided that 365 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 3: it helped drive the results on election day. 366 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: When you think about this, and then it goes back to, Okay, 367 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 2: what was the messaging that was connecting with young women 368 00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 2: to have them come out in these numbers or was 369 00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: it not so much of a message? And this is 370 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 2: part of the breakdown of trying to figure out what 371 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: you learn from election to make sure before the midterms 372 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: we can either we can course correct it. Or was 373 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: it just that the left and women in the Democratic 374 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: Party were so motivated compared to conservative women. I call 375 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:55,479 Speaker 2: it the Trump sump. You feel like your party's in power. 376 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,640 Speaker 2: You feel like they're doing the things that you asked 377 00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 2: them to do in places Donald Trump is putting in complacency, 378 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:04,119 Speaker 2: but you feel comfortable because you're like, we just won 379 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 2: an election. 380 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, things are great. Donald Trump's doing what he said 381 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: he was going to do. 382 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 2: So when you look at it, was it issue base 383 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 2: based on data we've seen, or was it more just 384 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 2: the other side was so angry that Donald Trump won 385 00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:18,679 Speaker 2: and they wanted to win so badly to send a 386 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 2: middle finger to the president that they showed up in 387 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 2: these record numbers and they voted for their candidate. 388 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't have that data yet. There will be 389 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 3: time to break that out, but we don't have it 390 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 3: right now. But I'll give you another aspect. In New 391 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,959 Speaker 3: York City, so there was a massive difference based on 392 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: whether you were a longtime New Yorker or you were 393 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 3: new to the city. So if you're a New York 394 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,119 Speaker 3: voter and you had been in New York City. You 395 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,359 Speaker 3: lived in New York City less than five years. What 396 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 3: percent of the people who lived in New York City 397 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 3: less than five years do you think voted for comrade Mundani? 398 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: Got to be overwhelmingly high? 399 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: Eighty three percent? All right, how about five to ten years? 400 00:21:58,880 --> 00:21:59,920 Speaker 3: What do you think five to ten years. 401 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 2: I would say it's probably still fairly high, but not 402 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 2: as high as that first group. 403 00:22:05,800 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 3: Seventy six percent. Okay, let's go ten years or more, 404 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 3: but not born in New York City. What do you 405 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 3: think the percentage. 406 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 1: Is above fifty percent? 407 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 3: Fifty four? So it drops from seventy six five to 408 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 3: ten years to fifty four. How about I was born 409 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,720 Speaker 3: in New York City, which, by the way, is forty 410 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 3: seven percent of the voters were born in New York City. 411 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 3: What do you think what percent of the vote do 412 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 3: you think Mondanni got a people born in New York City. 413 00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess below fifty percent. 414 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,040 Speaker 3: Thirty four percent. Coulomo got forty five percent. So Cuomo 415 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 3: beat Mondanni by eleven points among people born in New York, 416 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 3: but among people who lived in New York less than 417 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 3: five years, Mondanni beat him eighty three percent to fifteen percent, 418 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: So it is overwhelmingly Look yeah, yeah, clear. 419 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 2: Was aquil ralling cry from Mandanni, and he did this 420 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 2: in his campaigning. He did it, by the way, in 421 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 2: his victory speech, he said that New York City is 422 00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:10,160 Speaker 2: a city of immigrants. In other words, if you came 423 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: here recently, I'm your guy, the establishment, the old school, 424 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: the American citizen, You're not a priority in New York 425 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 2: City anymore. This reminds me an awful lot of what 426 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 2: we were talking about ten years ago in major cities 427 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: in the UK. We are seeing a lot of those 428 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 2: same type of results now in New York City. 429 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 3: Yeah. And by the way, there's also a significant educational differential. 430 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,439 Speaker 3: All right, So if you're in New York and you 431 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 3: had an advanced degree, what percent of the vote do 432 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 3: you think Mandani. 433 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 2: Got advanced degree? I would say maybe around fifty percent 434 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: or below. 435 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,920 Speaker 3: Fifty seven percent. Advanced degree fifty seven percent. How about 436 00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 3: bachelor's degree? 437 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I'm going to go maybe even lower. 438 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: Fifty seven percent, So advanced in bachelor's both tied a 439 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 3: fifty seven How about associate's degree? 440 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: I don't I would say I would say higher. 441 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 3: Forty five percent. By the way, Cuomo got forty eight 442 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 3: So if you had an associate's degree, Mandanni lost. How 443 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 3: about some college, so you don't have an associate's. 444 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 2: Degree, Mandannie, I would my gut is it way to 445 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,920 Speaker 2: go even higher? But you're saying I'm wrong. 446 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:23,240 Speaker 3: You're wrong some college Mandanni forty percent, Cuomo forty eight percent. 447 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 3: How about high school graduate? 448 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 2: See, I would have thought high school graduated be seventy 449 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:29,520 Speaker 2: plus percent from Mondonni. 450 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,639 Speaker 1: Nope, you're telling me that's wrong. This is donnie go, 451 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 1: this is breaking the normal model game of. 452 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 3: High school graduates. Mandanni got thirty nine percent, Cuomo got 453 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,080 Speaker 3: forty seven percent. And finally, no high school degree, so 454 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,439 Speaker 3: didn't even graduate high school. 455 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: I mean clearly based on the trend. 456 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 2: Now, the majority vote against Mandani that didn't have a 457 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 2: high school degree, so. 458 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,800 Speaker 3: No high school degree, forty percent voted from Mandani, forty 459 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 3: nine percent for Cuoma. So Cuomo beat Mandanni by nine points. 460 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:02,520 Speaker 3: So who elected comrade mndann? It is the smarty pants 461 00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 3: college educated advanced degrees. It is the rich who elected Mandani. 462 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 3: By the way, working class, look, if you've got a ged, 463 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,439 Speaker 3: if you've got a high school degree, they're like we 464 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 3: don't want a socialist. These people are nuts and it 465 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:23,119 Speaker 3: is the rich New Yorkers who Look, I'm not an 466 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 3: armchair psychologist, but. 467 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: That is the elected. This is the Sorouses. 468 00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:32,040 Speaker 3: It is the soros Is. By the way, the same 469 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 3: comrade Mondonne who said we should have no billionaires also 470 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,199 Speaker 3: happily tweeted out a picture. Actually, Alex Soros tweeted out 471 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 3: a picture so proud to be a New Yorker. The 472 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,440 Speaker 3: American dream continues, Congrats Mayor with a picture of the 473 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 3: two of them together. This is the same guy who 474 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,320 Speaker 3: said no billionaire as well, except for the billionaires that 475 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 3: funded the communist takeover of New York City. 476 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 2: One of the other things that we're looking at with 477 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,879 Speaker 2: this that pull data, and what we're witnessing is is 478 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 2: that the demographics here made the difference in this election. 479 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 2: Dive into a couple more interesting points that you mentioned 480 00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 2: to me as well. 481 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 3: So look, one of the interesting things is the breakdown 482 00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 3: by religion. So among Protestants or other Christians, what percent 483 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 3: do you think Mondani got. 484 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 2: Among Protestants or Christians. I would say it would be 485 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 2: well below fifty percent. 486 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,959 Speaker 3: Forty three percent and forty eight percent voted for Cuomo, 487 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 3: So Protestants or other Christians, Cuomo beten. How about among Catholics. 488 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: I would hope lower than fifty. 489 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,600 Speaker 3: It was that it was actually lower than Protestants. It 490 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 3: was thirty three percent of Catholics voted for Mandani, fifty 491 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 3: two percent voted for Cuomo. So Catholics, which is twenty 492 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 3: seven percent of the vote in New York went by 493 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 3: nineteen points for Cuomo. How about Jewish voters, this is 494 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 3: a fascinating one. 495 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 2: So being an israel all week long and this was 496 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 2: something that was talked about everywhere went in Israel. They 497 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 2: couldn't believe that anybody that's Jewish would vote for a 498 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,400 Speaker 2: jihadis ab kid in Maundani. And yet the shocking pulling data, 499 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,480 Speaker 2: I'm guessing is going to show that there were a 500 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,919 Speaker 2: quote significant amount of Jewish people that voted for Maundani 501 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,240 Speaker 2: and it has blown the minds of everybody in Israel. 502 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 3: This week, thirty two percent of Jewish voters in New 503 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:20,760 Speaker 3: York City voted for an open jahadist who says globalized 504 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,479 Speaker 3: the Infantah. Sixty four percent voted for Cuomo, but thirty 505 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 3: two percent of Jewish voters voted for Mondani. How about 506 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 3: other and other? I suspect is overwhelmingly Muslim, maybe some Hindu, 507 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,880 Speaker 3: but predominantly Muslim. 508 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,360 Speaker 2: What percentage I'm assuming it's going to be very high 509 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,800 Speaker 2: voting for Mundani. 510 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 3: Seventy one percent, twenty four percent voted for Cuomo. Now 511 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,159 Speaker 3: of the total New York voters, that's fourteen percent of 512 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 3: the electorate, but seventy one percent of other voted forman 513 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 3: How about none, so you don't have any religion? 514 00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 1: I would say, also very high. 515 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:53,959 Speaker 3: Then seventy six percent for Mandani, twenty percent Cuomo. So 516 00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,760 Speaker 3: it was the other which is going to be predominantly Muslim, 517 00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 3: and the atheists and agnostics who elect to him. Now, 518 00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 3: family income, this is fascinating. Under thirty thousand dollars a 519 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,879 Speaker 3: year total family income, what do you think the breakdown was? 520 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 2: See, I would have guessed that that would have been 521 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,120 Speaker 2: a very high number for Mandanni. But based on what 522 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,280 Speaker 2: you said earlier, I'm actually going to go to the 523 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 2: opposite direction and say they actually did not vote for 524 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: this guy. 525 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 3: You are right. People making under thirty thousand dollars family income, 526 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 3: forty two percent voter from Mandani. Forty eight percent voted 527 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 3: for Cuomo, so Mandani lost. The people under thirty t. 528 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,160 Speaker 2: Take down for half a second, Mandani being, Hey, everything's 529 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 2: going to be free. The government's going to fix all 530 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,879 Speaker 2: your problems. The government's going to take care of you. 531 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: This is communism. The youngest, hardest working in New York 532 00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:38,640 Speaker 2: weren't buying that. 533 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 1: Bs. They were saying, we. 534 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,000 Speaker 2: Don't believe you, and they voted against him because they said, 535 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,520 Speaker 2: we don't want that form of government. 536 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:46,840 Speaker 1: That that is a very interesting takeaway here. 537 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,840 Speaker 3: It is now the next several income bands, thirty thousand 538 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 3: to fifty thousand, Mandanni got fifty three percent. Fifty thousand 539 00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 3: to one hundred thousand, Mandanni got fifty six percent, one 540 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 3: hundred thousand to two hundred thousand, Mandanni got fifty five percent. 541 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,880 Speaker 3: Two hundred thousand to three hundred thousand, Mandanni got forty 542 00:29:03,920 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 3: nine percent. And so he won every income group between 543 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 3: thirty thousand and three hundred thousand and then three hundred 544 00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 3: thousand or more. Mundani got thirty three percent, and sixty 545 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 3: two percent voted no. So the people who voted against Mundanni. 546 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: That people that are really rich are evil. Right. 547 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 2: That's part of what he said here is that we're 548 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 2: going to tax you more. We're going to take more 549 00:29:25,200 --> 00:29:27,040 Speaker 2: of your money. So if you're making three hundred thousand 550 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,000 Speaker 2: or more in New York, and there's a fair amount 551 00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 2: of people that make more than three hundred thousand New 552 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 2: York because New York is so expensive to live there, 553 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 2: he was basically saying, you are the enemy of me, 554 00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:39,200 Speaker 2: of my government. I'm coming for your money, I'm coming 555 00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,920 Speaker 2: for your housing, I'm coming for your way of life. 556 00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 2: He was unapologetic about that. So they heard that warning 557 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:46,240 Speaker 2: and said, we're voting against you. 558 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:50,480 Speaker 3: Look, the income mans that voted against Mundani were below 559 00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 3: thirty thousand and above three hundred thousand. So below thirty thousand, 560 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 3: you voted against Mundani. Above three hundred thousand, you vote 561 00:29:56,800 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 3: against Mandani. And that entire wave, and the biggest income 562 00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,560 Speaker 3: group that voted for Mondannie was fifty thousand to one 563 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 3: hundred thousand, and that overlaps with the young people. These 564 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 3: are young, college educated. They're disillusion they're angry, they're socialists, 565 00:30:09,560 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 3: they've been weaned on socialism. All right, I want to 566 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,360 Speaker 3: give you one more stat which is a fascinating one, 567 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,320 Speaker 3: which is are you gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender? What 568 00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 3: percent of New York voters that are gay, lesbian, bisexual, 569 00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,720 Speaker 3: or transgender do you think voted for Mondanni? 570 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 1: Traditionally I would have said very high. 571 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,959 Speaker 2: However, knowing what he's been saying, I'm going to go 572 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: with maybe it's lower than I thought. 573 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,720 Speaker 1: So thirty to forty percent. 574 00:30:33,040 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 3: Eighty one percent, wow, and fifteen percent voters. 575 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 2: For the in fact didn't didn't didn't pay attention to 576 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 2: the fact this guy supports people that throw gays, lesbians, 577 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,680 Speaker 2: and transgenders off rooftops, and that's part of the people 578 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 2: he supports. That's that's truly unbelievable. 579 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 3: It is truly unbelievable given radical Islamists and they literally 580 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 3: want to execute people who are homosexuals. So, of the 581 00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,000 Speaker 3: voters in New York, how many do you think are gay, lesbian, bisexual, 582 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 3: or transgender. 583 00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: I honestly have no idea. What is it? 584 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: Fourteen percent? So fourteen percent of the voters the gay, lesbian, bisexual, 585 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 3: transgender voted eighty one point fifteen for Mondani. How about 586 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,840 Speaker 3: voters who are straight, which is eighty six percent of 587 00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 3: the voters, what do you think the breakdown was for Mondani? 588 00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 3: For voters who are straight? 589 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,000 Speaker 1: I'm going to guess it was fairly high as well, 590 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:24,000 Speaker 1: based on what you're saying. 591 00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:28,720 Speaker 3: It was actually basically a tie. Forty six percent of 592 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 3: heterosexual voters for voter for Mondani and forty five percent 593 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: for Cuomo. So understand who elected Mandani? Young women and gays, 594 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,560 Speaker 3: lesbians and transgender. That's what the exit polling shows, which 595 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 3: is amazing given that as an Islamist, he believes in 596 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:50,120 Speaker 3: very limited rights for women, and he is supportive of 597 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 3: views that oppress those who are gay and lesbian. And 598 00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:57,720 Speaker 3: it's an example of how ideology trumps anyone's self interest 599 00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 3: and ignorance. I think ignorance drove a lot of the selection. 600 00:32:02,760 --> 00:32:04,720 Speaker 2: When you break this down and you do the takeaway, 601 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: I'm going to dive into these numbers more. A lot 602 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 2: of people that run races around the country are going 603 00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 2: to look at these numbers as well, and they're gonna 604 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: say how much this will. 605 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 1: Apply outside of New York. 606 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: I think you could certainly apply this outa to places 607 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 2: like Chicago or Philadelphia or Boston, right, more of these 608 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,480 Speaker 2: kind of liberal elitist type cities, I say, on the left, 609 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 2: but nationwide, I'll be very interesting. See the break down 610 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,320 Speaker 2: and then This comes to the big question, the big takeaway. 611 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,920 Speaker 2: Why hasn't a member of the media. I haven't seen this, Grant, 612 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 2: I've been in Israel all week, but I've been watching 613 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,880 Speaker 2: this very tightly. Why is no one in the media, 614 00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 2: asked Mandanni. The big question which I want to know 615 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 2: is all right, well, are you running for president right now? 616 00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:47,280 Speaker 2: Because if this is the Democratic Party, he has to 617 00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:48,520 Speaker 2: be on your short list right now? 618 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 1: Am I wrong? 619 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: Look? I think right now Mamdanni and AOC are the 620 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:56,640 Speaker 3: heart of the Democrat Party. And by the way, we 621 00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 3: saw all of these Democrats that are supposedly mainstream Democrats, 622 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,960 Speaker 3: although there are no mainstream Democrats left. People like Kathy Hokeel, 623 00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:08,680 Speaker 3: the governor New York, people like Hakeem Jeffries, the House 624 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 3: Minority Leader, rush down to endorse Comrade Mandani, and every 625 00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 3: one of the Democrats is terrified of the radical left 626 00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,880 Speaker 3: because that's where all of the energy and passion is 627 00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 3: in the Democrat Party right now. 628 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 2: Truly incredible.
