WEBVTT - Dems Divided - October 17th, Hour 2 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.680 Hour two Sean Hannity Show, eight hundred and nine to 0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.240 four one, Shawn, if you want to be a part 0:00:04.240 --> 0:00:04.960 of the program. 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:07.520 It is remarkable to me. 0:00:07.960 --> 0:00:12.400 And it is sad, it is pathetic, it is unconscionable. 0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:16.560 And I said this about the Democratic Party that after 0:00:16.600 --> 0:00:18.680 they wouldn't stand for the family of Lake and Riley 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.680 at the Joint Session speech and said, and they wouldn't 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.840 stand for the family of Jocelyn Nungary, little twelve year 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:29.000 old girl brutally raped and murdered in Houston, Texas. And 0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.800 they wouldn't stand for a young man that had just 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.600 beaten cancers twelve years old, had it for four years, 0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:38.879 and became a Secret Service agent. I said, this is 0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.199 a party that has lost its heart, its aull and 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:44.800 it's conscience. I mean, how do you not stand how 0:00:44.800 --> 0:00:48.840 do you put politics above families that lost loved ones. 0:00:48.920 --> 0:00:52.400 What they don't like is it is a reminder to 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:57.400 America that the you know, twelve to twenty million unvetted 0:00:57.720 --> 0:01:03.639 Biden Harris Mayorcis the illegals have included known terrorists and murderers, 0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.880 rapists and other violent criminals and murder and cartel members 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:13.399 and gang members and drug dealers, and they're not making 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:18.760 our cities safe and secure. You can't pursue happiness. It's 0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.119 a prerequisite that you have law and order and safety 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:27.039 and security. That's why everyone you put your trust in government. 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:31.720 How's how's defund dismantle nobail reimagine sending the social workers 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:32.520 working out for you. 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:35.240 How's your educational system? You know? 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:39.080 In blue states and cities, you know, run by Democrats 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:45.000 for decades, they have failed spectacularly. And then incomes Donald 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:48.120 Trump and he's like, Okay, the dying's got to stop. 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:48.760 You know. 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.960 Or if they are threatening ice agents, like in Portland, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.200 I couldn't believe. In Chicago, they they they had to 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:59.320 put a fence up outside of a ice facility. And 0:01:59.360 --> 0:02:01.960 when they put the defence up, you know, then in 0:02:02.080 --> 0:02:04.880 comes JB. Pritzker and takes it down. Are you out 0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:08.440 of your mind? And he's just been lashing out like 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.680 a madman against everybody in the administration. Here's his latest 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.080 rand against Steven Miller. 0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.880 The people who serve for the president, including all the 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.919 way down to ice agents, can be held accountable when 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.280 there's a change of administration. Who's willing to hold them accountable? 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.640 When they break the law. Now, Stephen Miller is clearly 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.480 ordering people to break the law, So you know he 0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.320 should know that. Yeah, it maybe three years from now 0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.799 that he is held accountable, but make sure. I think 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:42.400 it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.680 it's not like we're going to forget, and it's not 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:48.720 like we don't have a record of what they're doing. 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.320 Pretty remarkable to me, you know. 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:54.040 And then say all of you people that are trying 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.720 to save lives, yeah, you better be careful because when 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.399 Democrats get back in power, we're coming after you. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:00.560 You know. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:05.520 The Biden administration, how often did they tell us that 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.120 the border is secure and the borders closed? 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.600 Here's a reminder settles to most folks like a crisis. 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.720 Well, look it's way down now. 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:18.160 We've now gotten control precisely that the border is closed. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:22.440 Nor could I have been clearer and continue to be so, 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.560 Which is the border is closed. 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.440 The United States will continue to enforce our laws and 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.320 secure our border. 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:35.160 The border. We are working to make the border more secure. 0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:36.760 You're confident this border secure. 0:03:38.160 --> 0:03:42.160 We have a secure border and that that is a 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:45.760 priority for any nation, including hours in our administration. 0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.520 We agree that the border is secure. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:53.680 Pretty remarkable. Now here are the facts. Since this idiot 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:58.200 Governor JB. Pritzker has been in office, four thousand people 0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:02.480 in his state are murdered, five times the murder rate 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:06.720 of New York City. And that is saying something, you know, 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.160 And then you know Democrats they sit idly by. No 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:13.160 Democrats pointed out, now the borders wide open. They didn't 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.760 tell us the truth. It was like, you know, oh, 0:04:16.160 --> 0:04:19.320 we can't call out our own party and say, hey, 0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.920 a minute, this is this is dumb and not good. 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.840 And it's sad because they give into the radicals, the 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:29.240 extremists that wanted open borders. 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.039 It's pathetic. 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.600 I mean, now we have ICE trying to do their job, 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:35.640 and all they do is go after Tom Homan the 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:40.039 docksing ICE agents, putting their lives in jeopardy. They're taking 0:04:40.080 --> 0:04:45.360 down fences because that are protecting ICE agents. They're telling 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:47.919 ICE agents you got to take your mask off. Although 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:54.320 obviously constitutionally jurisdiction lines with the federal government because of 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:57.680 the supremacy clause. But there are a couple of Democrats that, 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.440 thank god they exist and can see the truth. They're 0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:08.120 not blinded by party loyalty. And one is Alderman, Raymond 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.440 Lopez of Chicago, and he's sick and tired of all 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:15.159 of this. And here's what we welcome onto the program. Alderman, 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:16.360 great to have you. How are you. 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.960 Thank you, Sean, and thank you to you and your listeners. 0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:20.920 Let's get your analysis of this. 0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:22.680 You know, you're exactly right. 0:05:22.720 --> 0:05:25.839 You know the Democratic Party has lost his way, lost 0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:31.640 his purpose, and is completely enamored now not just with criminality, 0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:36.159 but with their own self fulfilling Trump's arrangement syndrome. We 0:05:36.279 --> 0:05:39.040 have opportunities to work together, and yet we are fighting 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.600 our own American law enforcement that is enforcing the laws 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.479 that Congress passed. When it comes to immigration, they are 0:05:45.520 --> 0:05:47.800 doing the job that should have been done for the 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:52.040 last four years of the previous administration, when everyone ignored 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.480 the Venezuelan migrants that were coming here by the millions. 0:05:55.520 --> 0:05:57.960 I'm properly vetting them, shipping them throughout the entire nation. 0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.960 And now it is the cause celeber of the Democratic Party, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:07.320 radicals and professional protesters to now stand and try to 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:11.800 harm and injure ice agents doing their job trying to 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:13.800 go after the worst of the worst, trying to convince 0:06:13.800 --> 0:06:16.440 cities like Chicago, New York and others that we should 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.800 be working together in strategic, surgical ways and being rejected 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.520 and rebuffed at every turn. It's madness. And I think 0:06:23.520 --> 0:06:25.880 that we have an opportunity to work with the President 0:06:26.560 --> 0:06:28.799 to do something that we haven't seen in forty years, 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:33.200 which is hit the reset, work with the president, and 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.880 then both parties need to commit themselves to not just 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.520 moving forward, but moving forward in a way that ensures 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.279 that we have proper enforcement and adherence to the law, 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:46.400 so that we don't have millions of individuals coming here 0:06:46.440 --> 0:06:51.600 illegally without proper authorization and disabling and disabling once again 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:52.760 our country. 0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:57.400 Did you see this week that the Democrats in Pennsylvania 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:01.920 want a primary John Fetterman. Now John Fetterman has broken 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:04.839 ranks with the Democratic Party. He praised the President, for 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:09.440 example with him taking out Iran's nuclear sites. The idea 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:12.520 of radical Islamic terrorists that chant death to America, death 0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:15.880 to Israel having nuclear weapons does not exactly make for 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:16.800 a safer world. 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:17.880 It's common sense. 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:25.480 They absolutely condemn the President on every aspect of law 0:07:25.520 --> 0:07:28.480 and order and safety and security that he's trying to instill. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:36.000 And you know the John Fetterman supports Israel, so gave 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.000 praise to the president because of the hostage of release 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.960 and the potential for peace in the Middle East, which 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.960 we haven't seen and god knows how long. 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:46.560 And it's frustrating to me. 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:49.880 And I would imagine that you've probably experienced the same thing. 0:07:49.880 --> 0:07:50.440 Am I wrong? 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:52.960 You are not wrong at all, shown even in my 0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:55.200 own city of Chicago, anytime that I mentioned that we 0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:57.480 need to work with our federal partners, I say that 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.600 we have to find ways to have common sense solutions 0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.160 that include the federal government, that include working with the 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:08.520 Trump administration. Not an hour will go by that I'm 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:11.240 not called a trader to my country, trader to my people, 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.440 trader to my city. That I'm a maga, a closet maga. 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.360 And the fact of the matter is that I put 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:22.200 country above all else. You know, it's faith, it's country 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:26.280 and family. And so many of the Democratic Party are 0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:29.920 just obsessed with having the fight that they lose sight 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.080 of what they're fighting. 0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:33.480 For your party. 0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:36.240 I don't think I'm wrong in saying many in your party, 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:40.280 and I won't speak so broadly many, and I would 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:44.240 argue the majority in terms of leadership have lost their 0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.360 heart and soul and I don't understand it. How do 0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:49.400 you not stand for the family of Lakeln Riley, How 0:08:49.400 --> 0:08:51.839 do you not stand for the family of Goslyn Nungary. 0:08:52.440 --> 0:08:56.520 You can't put petty partisan politics aside for twenty seconds 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.200 and honor, you know, families that lost loved ones. 0:09:00.800 --> 0:09:04.079 No, you're exactly right, and it's shameful when you look 0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:05.720 at this is what this is the kind of role 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:09.440 models that we're showing to younger generations of voters, people 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:12.800 who want to be aspiring leaders in our country and 0:09:12.840 --> 0:09:16.680 who might be associating with the Democratic Party. See that 0:09:16.840 --> 0:09:21.199 refusal to honor our heroes, to honor victims of violence, 0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:25.600 to honor cancer survivors. That's a sickness. That's the true 0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:31.679 sickness and the Democratic Party And sadly, those loud voices 0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.880 make up the small minority of the electorates the Democratic 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:39.199 Party electorates, but oftentimes take center stage because people give 0:09:39.240 --> 0:09:42.120 them the most amount of time and attention simply because 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:44.040 they're the loudest, craziest voice in the room. 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:50.000 Four thousand people in your state dead nobody. I bet 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:53.559 most people in your state can't mention their names. They 0:09:53.600 --> 0:09:57.120 don't know their names. I know one, you know, for example, 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.080 Diano Caldwell, a friend of mine. The lost is innocent 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:06.680 brother in a senseless shooting. I know others because we've 0:10:06.679 --> 0:10:08.560 covered it for so many years. For so many years, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:10.880 i'd scroll the names of the people shot and shot 0:10:10.920 --> 0:10:14.400 and killed and nobody seemed to care. And Pritzker is, 0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:16.840 you know, yelling at Donald Trump for trying to save 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.520 lives in Chicago. How do the people of Chicago feel 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:22.040 about it? If I'm in Chicago, I'm gonna love your 0:10:22.040 --> 0:10:25.360 hot dogs. I never thought I'd like deep dish pizza, 0:10:25.400 --> 0:10:29.160 but I do. But I would want my city safe. 0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.320 I wouldn't want my children safe. I remember the case 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:35.920 of that little girl that was killed in her grandmother's backyard. 0:10:35.960 --> 0:10:37.600 I couldn't believe that story. 0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:41.680 You know, where's the breaking point here where people realize 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:44.840 these democrats don't care about us, they're not restoring law 0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:45.240 and order. 0:10:46.520 --> 0:10:48.040 Well, I think we're seeing some of that now. Sean 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:51.440 only hear people who are wondering why we have leaders 0:10:51.480 --> 0:10:54.160 like Johnson, leaders like Pritzker who are constantly telling us 0:10:54.160 --> 0:10:55.120 to resist. 0:10:54.720 --> 0:10:58.120 To fight back, to push, to rebuff. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:02.960 The invasion of the Trump militarization in our city, and 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:07.280 yet here crickets louder than gunshots when it comes to 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:09.760 those individuals who are shot and killed and victimized in 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:12.480 the city of Chicago every day, every weekend, like clockwork. 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.120 You know. The irony was when Donald Trump had said 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:17.040 that he wanted to send in the National Guard and 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:19.840 Pritster and Johnson both at our city save we don't 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:23.800 need resources. I believe it was a holiday weekend, Labor 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.640 Day weekend, if I'm not mistaken, and we had fifty 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:31.160 seven people shot that weekend, nine people killed, and you're right, 0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.360 not one single mention of any of the victims, least 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:36.480 of all the ones that were killed by the two 0:11:36.520 --> 0:11:39.199 top leaders of Illinois Democratic Policle. 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:40.720 But you want to know why that is? 0:11:40.760 --> 0:11:44.880 If they can't weaponize a killing, and they can't politicize it, 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.080 and they can't blame Republicans or Donald Trump or tried to, 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:52.000 then then why would we want to know the people's 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.880 names that are shot and shot and killed. I thought 0:11:54.920 --> 0:11:58.200 every life mattered, you know. My Christian faith teaches me 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:02.079 that God created every man, woman, child in this country, yep. 0:12:02.320 --> 0:12:05.480 And one would think that that should matter and for 0:12:05.559 --> 0:12:09.720 all of those fake Christians and fake religious selected officials 0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:13.560 up here in the city of Chicago. Their outrage is 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:16.400 like their faith a buffet. They pick and choose what 0:12:16.400 --> 0:12:18.280 they want, when they want, and how they want it, 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.840 as opposed to the unilateral acceptance that if you believe 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.160 in the sanctity of life, then you should be fighting 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:26.160 for even those lives in our communities that are being 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.400 gunned down and taken from us every single day. 0:12:28.880 --> 0:12:32.280 Yeah, pretty unbelievable. All right, quick break, right back. We'll 0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:37.080 continue more with Aldermen Raymond Lopez of Chicago, one of 0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.240 the few Democrats to speak out against the insanity and 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:43.840 violence and shootings and death in that city. More on 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.840 the other side than we'll check in with Curtis Sliwa, 0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:49.800 fresh off his debate with Comrade Marxist Mom Donnie and 0:12:49.800 --> 0:12:53.199 Andrew Cuomo, and much much more coming up as we continue. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.720 We continue now with Alderman Raymond Lopez of Chicago, one 0:12:58.720 --> 0:13:01.719 of the few Democrats to speak out against the madness 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:06.160 of shootings and murder and death and destruction of Chicago 0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:11.600 and the leadership of Baby Pritzker and Brendon Johnson. Alderman, 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.000 you are a voice of reason. It's not a fair question, 0:13:15.040 --> 0:13:17.560 but I have to ask it. Have you ever considered 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.160 changing parties? 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.280 You know, my party gives me an excuse almost every 0:13:23.280 --> 0:13:26.600 reason why I should leave every week. You know, they've 0:13:26.640 --> 0:13:29.760 become they become harder and harder to associate with truly. 0:13:31.080 --> 0:13:34.520 But I think that the Democratic Party needs beacons of 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.760 sanity like Fetterman, like myself and others to remind people 0:13:37.800 --> 0:13:40.720 that this is what we what we talk about, what 0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:43.120 we fight for, is what the party should be fighting for. 0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:48.400 And sometimes you need a reminder of that. And just recently, 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.319 like I reached out to President Trump to discuss solutions 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:55.000 for the undocumented and for the Venezuelans. You know, you 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.440 have to be willing to show that we can still 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.360 work together without disagreeing with these We could disagre without 0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.320 being disagreeable and work together. We have to show that 0:14:03.320 --> 0:14:07.319 to the to the people. But you know, not a 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:09.520 day goes by Sean that I don't sometimes wonder that 0:14:09.960 --> 0:14:14.559 if I'm living in the upside down world here being 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.600 the crazy one amongst amongst the sane, or not. 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:19.520 Just be a beacon of light? And you know what, 0:14:19.680 --> 0:14:24.000 let these people, you know go crazy? And you know, 0:14:24.120 --> 0:14:26.320 I wish I had more hope for cities like New 0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:27.400 York and Chicago. 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.360 I just don't. I don't know why. 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.720 I just feel like it doesn't matter how bad the 0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:34.680 leadership is, they keep getting re elected. 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:35.600 It's unbelievable. 0:14:36.360 --> 0:14:41.360 Alderman, Raymond Lopez, Chicago, You're a shining light and I 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.280 see a darkness there. And these lives deserve to be 0:14:45.360 --> 0:14:47.840 protected and saved. And I wish you well and if 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:49.400 we could ever help you, please let us know. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:49.880 Thank you. 0:14:49.920 --> 0:14:52.400 Sean eight hundred and nine to four one, Sean a 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:53.960 number if you want to be a part of the program. 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.480 Curtis Sliwa, you know, hot off his debate with the 0:14:57.560 --> 0:15:02.240 comrade Marxist mum Donna, he will join us. The worst 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:09.040 moderated debate in history. It was awful. Anyway, we'll get 0:15:09.040 --> 0:15:11.360 to Curtis in a minute. As I said at the 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:16.160 top of the program today, I've never been more frustrated 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:19.680 in my entire life. I watched many political debates, I've 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:23.240 watched many horrible moderators in my life, I really have, 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:28.360 and I've never been more frustrated than watching the New 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:32.000 York City mayoral debate last night. It's like Okay, you 0:15:32.040 --> 0:15:34.120 have woman either one minutes up, you want to minutes up? 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.840 Wait a minute, he mentioned me, I want to do well. No, no, no, 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.760 you can't talk right now. No, no, no, even though those 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:41.360 are the rules, you can't talk. Okay, we want to 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:43.360 get to the next question. Okay, well, we'll give you 0:15:43.360 --> 0:15:46.720 twenty two seconds to respond. It was awful. It was 0:15:46.800 --> 0:15:51.080 so frustrating when I moderated the debate. And I'm not 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:55.120 patting myself on my back here. When I moderated the 0:15:55.200 --> 0:15:58.960 debate with Gavin Newsom and Ron Desanta is my governor. 0:16:00.480 --> 0:16:02.920 I sent to them at the top, guys, I'm gonna 0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.479 let this breathe, you know, just try to be respectful 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.240 of each other, let each other finish their sentences and 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.840 then finish their thought. Then we'll at the end of 0:16:11.880 --> 0:16:13.600 the day, I'm going to be monitoring the time and 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.320 I'm going to make sure that I'm gonna get as 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:20.000 close to equal time as possible, which we successfully pulled 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:23.320 off and it became a real debate. I can't stand 0:16:23.360 --> 0:16:25.600 the way these debates are, where the moderators think they're 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:29.400 the ones that are debating the candidates. It's so frustrating anyway, 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:34.080 So this the first and only debate with Zorn Kami, 0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:39.120 Marxist Mamdami, and Andrew Cuomo and the person I'm supporting, 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:42.520 Curtis Sliwa, who will join us. In a moment took place. 0:16:44.040 --> 0:16:48.040 We learned something that you know, comrade, Marxist Mamdani is 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.840 absolutely no political compass. He'll say and do anything and 0:16:51.960 --> 0:16:55.480 as that pony fraudulent smile, as David Asman points out, 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:59.440 so did Pidel Castro. But he is a Marxist, and 0:16:59.520 --> 0:17:02.840 he is a communist, and he will destroy New York City. 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.600 I guarant you know this idiocy, defund, dismantled, no bail, 0:17:07.840 --> 0:17:10.600 all of that, and reimagine the police and send in 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:15.000 the social workers. Anyway, he flip plopped finally on Hamas 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:17.920 and really doesn't answer the question on globalent of Fada. 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:18.760 But here's what he said. 0:17:18.960 --> 0:17:21.840 Do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons 0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:23.600 and leave the leadership in Gaza. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.960 I believe that any future here in New York City 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.800 is one that we have to make sure that's affordable 0:17:28.800 --> 0:17:31.119 for all and entertains to Israel and Palestine. That we 0:17:31.160 --> 0:17:33.159 have to ensure that there's peace, and that is the 0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:34.960 future that we have to fight for, but you won't. 0:17:34.800 --> 0:17:36.800 Say that Hamas should lay down their arms and give 0:17:36.840 --> 0:17:37.800 up leadership in Gaza. 0:17:37.800 --> 0:17:40.119 I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:43.199 and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.040 the fact that anything has to abide by international law 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.760 and that applies to Hamas, that applies to these really 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:49.240 military plus to anyone you could. 0:17:49.080 --> 0:17:50.919 Ask me about. You were asked if Hamas should lay 0:17:50.960 --> 0:17:53.879 down its weapons key to the peace plan and cease fire, 0:17:54.800 --> 0:17:57.840 and some say they found your answer confusing. You said, quote, 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.680 I don't really have opinions about the future of a 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:03.880 Hamas in Israel on the question of justice and safety 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.000 and the fact that anything has to abide by international 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:10.159 law and that applies to Hamas, and that applies to 0:18:10.240 --> 0:18:13.159 the Israeli military. So for the voters tuning in tonight, 0:18:13.280 --> 0:18:16.360 mister Mumdani, what do you believe about Hamas and how 0:18:16.480 --> 0:18:17.879 lasting peace will be achieved. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:20.080 Well, we know it's a. 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:21.919 Complicated matter, but we'd like to keep your answer to 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:22.560 a minute of future. 0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:25.560 Of course, I believe that they should lay down their arms. 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:28.359 I'm proud to be one of the first elected officials 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.000 in the state who called for a ceasefire, and calling 0:18:31.000 --> 0:18:34.360 for a ceasefire means seizing fire. That means all parties 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:36.560 have to cease fire and put down their weapons. 0:18:37.000 --> 0:18:37.880 Oh okay. 0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:44.080 Hamas is a terrorist organization whose very own charter calls 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:49.040 for the destruction of Israel. And this idiot also wants 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:53.359 if Prime Minister Netan Yahoo, I'm not sure what part 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:57.080 of murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, beheading and hundreds of thousands 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:01.679 of rockets fired into Israel there's moron doesn't understand, but 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:07.760 he refuses to call you know, Hamas out for who 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:12.199 they are and instead condemns Israel. Talks about arresting the 0:19:12.359 --> 0:19:16.960 bb nets in Yahoo and condemns Israel as an apartheid 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:21.560 state and refuses to say to say if it'd be 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:23.840 it should remain primarily Jewish. 0:19:23.920 --> 0:19:25.080 Listen, I, like. 0:19:25.119 --> 0:19:28.639 Many New Yorkers, am hopeful that this ceasefire will hold. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:30.919 I'm hopeful that it is durable. I'm hopeful that it 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.240 is just, and for it to be just, we also 0:19:33.280 --> 0:19:36.919 have to ensure that it addresses the conditions that preceded this, 0:19:37.320 --> 0:19:41.240 conditions like occupation, like the siege, and apartheid. I've said 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.960 time and again that I recognize Israel's right to exist. 0:19:44.040 --> 0:19:47.040 I've said that I will not recognize any state, said 0:19:47.080 --> 0:19:49.200 that I will not a Jewish state. If I would 0:19:49.200 --> 0:19:51.720 be allowed to finish that, I would not recognize any 0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:54.600 states right to exist with a system of hierarchy on 0:19:54.640 --> 0:19:56.000 the basis of race of religion. 0:19:56.280 --> 0:20:00.359 And then Curtis had many great moments, a lot of 0:20:00.400 --> 0:20:02.200 talk about the fact that he didn't wear his red 0:20:02.200 --> 0:20:05.520 beret and he looked great. In my opinion, I've known 0:20:05.560 --> 0:20:10.840 Curtis for decades, and anyway, this was maybe one of 0:20:10.840 --> 0:20:14.840 my favorite moments when he goes after Cuomo and you know, 0:20:14.960 --> 0:20:18.600 comrades Marxistmumdani at the same time, Thank god. 0:20:18.480 --> 0:20:22.720 I'm not a professional politician. We have the architect and 0:20:22.760 --> 0:20:25.119 we have the apprentice of no cash. 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:26.240 Fail which has made a disaster. 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.680 We have the architect and the apprentice here of raised 0:20:29.680 --> 0:20:32.760 the age. My own son was almost killed because of 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:33.720 that in a gang attack. 0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:37.640 Anyway, Curtis Sliwa Republican New York City mayor, all candidate 0:20:37.840 --> 0:20:43.200 is with us. I never was more frustrated. First of all, 0:20:43.240 --> 0:20:45.640 I felt that they were being unfair to you, So 0:20:45.720 --> 0:20:50.000 that annoyed me and I mean, the format and the 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:53.159 interruptions by the moderators was beyond frustrating. 0:20:53.200 --> 0:20:54.480 And how to be frustrating for you? 0:20:54.840 --> 0:20:58.600 Oh? Absolutely, you know. It just made me think of 0:20:58.640 --> 0:21:02.359 what Charlie Kirk did around the nation by engaging in 0:21:02.400 --> 0:21:09.560 debates with the adversaries, full packed auditorium, field houses, and 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.439 yet people all had to say. Everybody had a right 0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.439 to a say. The first ten minutes, says Jean, I 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:18.160 thought that even though I was positioned right in the middle, 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.880 they didn't see me there. I was like the invisible man. 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:23.920 And then I realized I had to get my rearing gear. 0:21:24.119 --> 0:21:26.040 They weren't going to speak to me, they weren't going 0:21:26.080 --> 0:21:28.800 to address me, and I had to keep injecting myself 0:21:28.840 --> 0:21:33.720 into a conversation between two Democrats, one who paved the 0:21:33.760 --> 0:21:36.919 way for our destruction in New York State, former Governor 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:39.880 Andrew Cobo, and now the guy who wants to put 0:21:39.880 --> 0:21:43.880 the last nail in the coffin, Zorhanmandami. And that's when 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:46.159 I sprung into action. I didn't listen to what the 0:21:46.200 --> 0:21:49.760
