Speaker 1 (00:01):
The US is now sending an aircraft carrier to South
America as the Narco strikes are intensifying. This as Democrats
are claiming that, well, we don't really know if the
people on these boats are actually Narco terrorists. Congressman McCormick,
who is a veteran that served as country, set the
(00:22):
record straight on that on Newsmax. Recredit n Suster. Listen
to what he said about these strikes, including the submarine
that was blown up earlier this week.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
A lot of this is.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Due with our intelligence gathering capabilities. Obviously, we don't take
out people just based on a hunch. They get confirmation
from real intel on what these boats have on board,
like he knew with the submarine, for example, had mostly fentanyl.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Bad guys.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
We knew what gangs they belonged to, and we take
out the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It'd be very careful selection.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
When we used to be on floats and we'd have
an idea what we're going to take out and take
down a ship like that, we couldn't even talk about
we had real live intelligence. If we had any doubt
at all, it'd be called off.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So these are confirmed targets. These aren't just we hope they're.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Bad guys, Why don't we there's no effort to contact
them and board them. I mean the old days you
could contact if they have a flag from Venezuelia called Venezuela,
say can I board it? Or from Panama or you
can ask to aboard it. But are we boarding, are
we attempting to board any these or we just make
the determination these are bad and boom the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Gun and we've done in the past. Two things can happen.
First of all, they.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Can run, and they can get away and go back
and they going back to the International while they're home free.
Or they can shoot back and kill our marines and
our sailors or seals or whomever is trying to board
that ship.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now you have a very dangerous situation.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
The question is are you willing to risk lives to
take somebody who you know is smuggling jail? Now you're
got to put them in jail, in our jail system
and eventually get them back there.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
The expense and the danger to our troops versus.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Just taking out bad guys who are literally coming here
that have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths more than
all the wars we've ever fought together. When you start
combining all the deaths that have happened from fentanyl and
overdose and drugs and the gang wars in the inner cities.
If you look at the immortality morbidity of a male
black man in America, and I got this from doctor
Sache when I was a student at Moorhouse, it declined
(02:11):
dramatically with the cocaine wars. With crack cocaine is only
escalated with this sort of warfare that they're basically having
on us.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You listen to Congress from McCormick there, he's absolutely right,
and he's saying, why would we risk our lives knowing
that these are bad guys that need to be taken out,
Which brings us to the new point. The US military
sending this aircraft carrier to the waters off South America,
the Pentagon announcing this on Friday, in the latest escalation
of military firepower in a region where the Trump administration
(02:41):
has unleashed more rapid strikes in recent days against boats
it accused of carrying drugs just like fetnyl. The Secretary
of War Pete Edseth ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford
and its strike group to deploy to the US Southern
Command region to quote bolster the US capacity to detect, monitor,
(03:02):
and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise a safety
and prosperity of the United States. That coming from the
Pentagon spokesman Sean Pernell, the USS Ford, which has five
destroyers in its strike group, is now deployed to the
Mediterranean Sea. One of its destroyers is in the Arabian
(03:22):
Sea and another in the Red Sea. A person familiar
with the operation told the Associated Press as a Friday,
the aircraft carrier was in port in Croatia on the
Arctic Sea. The person, who spoke on condition of amininity
to discuss sins of military operations, would not say how
long it would take for the strike group to arrive
in the waters off South America, or if all five
(03:45):
destroyers would make that journey. While deploying an aircraft carrier
would surge major additional resources to a region that has
already seen an unusually large US military build up in
the Caribbean Sea and the waters off Venezuela. The latest
appointment and the quickening pace of the US strikes, including
one Friday, raise new speculations about how far the Trump
(04:07):
administration may go in operations it says are targeting drug trafficking,
including whether it could try to topple the Venezuelan president Maduro,
who already has a massive bounty on his head now
he faces charges of narco terrorism. In the United States
of America, there are already more, by the way than
(04:29):
six thousand US sailors and marines on eight warships in
the region. If the entire uss Ford Strike Group arrives,
that could bring nearly four thousand, five hundred more sailors,
as well as the nine squadrons of aircraft assigned to
the carrier. Complicating the situation is also tropical store Melissa,
(04:51):
which has been nearly stationary in the Central Caribbean, with
forecasters warning it could soon strengthen into a powerful hurricane.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Hours before Parnell announced the news, the Secretary of War
Headsets said the military had conducted the ten strike on
a suspected drug running boat, leaving six people dead and
bring the death count for the attacks that began in
early September to at least forty three narco terraces. Headsets
(05:21):
set on social media that the vessel struck overnight was
operating by the trend de Iragua gang. It was the
second time the Trump administration has tied one of its
operations to the gang that originated in a venezuela in prison.
The strikes have ramped up from one every few weeks
(05:42):
when they first began last month to three this week alone,
killing a total of at least forty three terrasts.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Two of the most recent strikes were carried out in
the Eastern specific Ocean, expanding the area where the military
has launched attacks and shifting to where much of the
cocaine from the world's largest producers is smuggled.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
If you're a narco terrast smuggling drugs in our hemisphere,
we will treat you like Al Qaeda heads has said
in a post day or night. We will map your networks,
track your people, hunt you down, and kill you. The
strike drew parallels to the first announced by the US
(06:25):
last month by focusing on the Trendy Ragua, which the
Trump administration has designated as a foreign terrorist organization and
blame for being the root of the violence and drug
dealing that plagues some of the cities. While not mentioning
the origin of the latest boat. The Republican administration now
says at least four of the boats it has hit
(06:48):
have come from Venezuela. On Thursday, the US military flu
a pair of supersonic heavy bombers up the coast of
Venezuela in a show of strength. R Dureau argues that
the US operations are the latest efforts to force him
from office. Maduro on Thursday praise security forces and a
(07:10):
civilian militia for defense exercises along some one thousand, two
hundred miles of coastline to prepare for the possibility, he says,
of a US attack, saying in the span of six hours,
one hundred percent of all the country's coastline was covered
in real time, with all the equipment and heavy weapons
(07:30):
to defend all of Venezuelas coast if necessary, Morduro said
during a government event shown on state television. The US
military presence is less about drugs than sending a message
to countries in the region aligned with the US interest.
According to the International Crisis Group, senior analysts for the
Andres Regent Elizabeth Dickinson, an expression that I'm hearing a
(07:54):
lot of drugs are the excuse and everyone knows that
Dickinson said, and I think that message which is very
clear in regional capitals. So the messaging here is that
the US is intent on pursuing specific objectives and it
will use military force against leaders and countries that don't.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Fall in line.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That is what the left is obviously trying to get
you to believe. But Headset's remarks around the strikes have
recently begun to draw a more direct comparison between the
war on terrorism that the US declared after nine to
eleven and the attacks and Donald Trump's administrations cracked down
now on the drug traffickers whose drugs are killing countless Americans.
(08:37):
President Trump this month declared drug cartels to be unlawful
combatants and said the US was in an armed conflict
with them, relying on the same legal authority used by
the Bush administration after nine to eleven. Every so often
something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.
(08:57):
We can't afford to take our rights for grants.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We must draw a line in the sand, and our
friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for
more than twelve years. The truth is there is only
one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans
who believe freedom is we're fighting for, and that company
is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy,
(09:20):
they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is
one of the only carriers offering premium access to all
three major US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service
that you can count on day after day. They also
offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup,
(09:43):
and so much more. And switching has never been easier.
You can activate in minutes on your phone from your
home or your office and you keep your same number.
You've got now keep your same phone, or upgrade to
a new one. And this is where the magic happens.
Every month, about five percent under your bill is given
back to conservative causes at no extra cost to you
(10:05):
that stand up for our First and our Second Amendment rights,
the rights of unborn children, and are wounded warriors and
those that have fought for our country and wear a badge.
So take a stand today and make a difference with
every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson
or nine seven to two Patriot use the promo code
(10:27):
ferguson for a free month of service as well. That's
patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to two
Patriot and make the switch and make a difference with
every call you make. I want to pivot real quick
to another big issue, and that is there is a
guy that is a socialist who is about to be
(10:47):
elected to be the leader of New York City. How
did this happen? How did we get to this point?
Senator Cruz and I sit down to talk about this
and what it means for the Republican Party as well
moving forward. This is a really interesting moment, and I
really do think it's important for us to just kind
of take a step back look at the Democratic Party.
(11:10):
I was doing Shinna Breems show Fox New Sunday, and
the first topic we talked about was Mindanni winning. We
talked about the race in New Jersey and a couple others,
but everyone was focused on Mendannie. And I made the
argument that this is now just the Democratic Party embracing
what they are Marxist socialists, communists. They're fully embracing it.
(11:30):
He is the face of the Democratic Party. I actually
think this is a gift that's going to give to
conservatives Republicanans the midterms like we've never seen before. And
if this is the type of leader they want, AOC
two point zero, even more extreme than AOC.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
That's hard to say.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's shocking, but I mean, we went from AOC, we
went from Bernie Sanders to AOC to Mindonnie, and the
Democratic Party has decided not to police this at all.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
So Ben, I gotta say, I came up with the
mnemonic today, so pronounce the guy's name who's about to
be mayor of New York.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Mandani.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Nope, so I got it wrong. I sent around a tweet.
I sent around a tweet and I realized I misspelled
his name, and look, it's not a name you and
I are terribly used to. But I came up with
the mnemonic to figure it out. It's m a m
as in Mary d a n y and I actually
invert the N and the M. I call him Mandani
(12:29):
and that's not it. And and the way I figured
out the mnemonic was, ma'am, it's Danny because it's mam Danny,
which is really hard, like you keep saying madani, but
it's not. It's am. And I'm just look if we're
But the only way to say, Mam Danny is if
you proceed it with comrade, because when I'm addressing communists,
(12:52):
I call him comrades because that is who he is.
And by the way, if you think that, by the way,
let's be clear, Ben, you will think of m mnemonic.
You're gonna be Mammotstanni. You're you're gonna be on the radio,
you're gonna be doing CNN, and you're gonna think mammots Stanny.
You will repeat it. It will it will be a little
voice in the back of your head and you won't
(13:13):
screw it up. And our listeners want either. But just
a show. I'm not engaged in hyperbole. Maybe you're saying, oh,
come on, he can't.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Be that bad.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
He's not an actual communist. I want to I want
you to listen to what his father said, that this
is comrade man Danny's father talking about his view of
the United States, and just play the clip.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism,
and the American model was exported all around the world.
Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American
Indians into separate territories for the Nazis. For the Nazis,
(14:02):
this was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things. One that
genocide was doable. It is possible to do genocide. That's
what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized is that you
(14:22):
don't have to have a common citizenship. You can differentiate
between people. The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws. Anyway,
the US put Indians in reservations. The US invented the model.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, that's where he gets his teachings from. That's
pretty clear.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
So listen, I want you to hear what Mamdani's dad
just said. Abraham Lincoln was the model for Adolf Hitler
and the Nazi He's got concentration camps from the United
States of America. Now let me just ask him just
I want to ask you, Ben seriously and fairly, someone
(15:09):
who says that. Do you think he loves America?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think he hates America. I think he wants to
trash America. I think he thinks America is literally the
enemy of him.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Now, is there any indication any whatsoever that Comrade Mandani's
the son his views are one iota different from Daddy's.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
In fact, it's almost like one one for one super
clone is the way I would describe it.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Well, okay, but but but let's let's let's play devil's advocate.
You know, look, sometimes dads are whack jobs and sons
become more reasonable. And and Comrade Mondani, I mean, he
did live in New York. He's presumably got some affection
for the people of New York. He's running for governor
New York. Surely something like what happened on September eleventh,
(15:59):
Surely that him packed at him. The entire world watched
in horror as radical Islamic terrorists flew not one but
two planes into the World Trade Center, murdering between the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon, murdering roughly three thousand
Americans in that horrible morning in September. Surely, young comrade
mom Dami was horrified at what he saw and horrified
(16:22):
at the mass slaughter. Well, let's give a listen to
what in his own words, this is not daddy, this
is the sun the comrade. Here's what he said he
thought the day after September eleventh. Give a listen. I
want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims
of New York City.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I want to speak to the memory of.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
My aunt who stopped taking the subway after September eleventh
because she did not feel safe in her hit jab.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I mean, let's go back to the quote there center,
my aunt stopped taking the subway after nine to eleven
because she didn't feel safe in her a job. He's
actually claiming that she is the victim of nine to eleven.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Well, and let's be clear, among all of the sentiments
did he express I looked at those planes flying into
the towers, and I felt horrified. But by the way,
as a Muslim, he presumably could say I was horrified
by someone who shares my faith could be so radicalized
as to murder three thousand people. He actually could say
something powerful there. He didn't say that. He didn't say,
(17:30):
I mourned for the people at the top of that
tower as flames roared around them, who faced a choice
between burning alive and jumping to their death. And you
and I both watched those mornings in a horror as
people leapt from one hundred stories high and fell to
their death because the alternative was to burn alive, like
(17:51):
it was a moment America was under attack, and yet
somehow comrade Mondami that that is I can't pronounce his
name either, even with my nemonic, I'm getting it wrong.
But somehow he doesn't express that sentiment. He's like the
horror is the next day my aunt couldn't wear her job.
And by the way, for all of the leftist rhetoric
(18:13):
that the crime of nine to eleven was Islamophobia, I'm
not aware of a meaningful uptick in violence against Muslims
in New York. I actually remember this country coming together,
coming together, strongly, embracing each other, unifying. I remember President
George W. Bush, and I think the finest moment of
his presidency standing on the rubble in New York City
(18:35):
holding a bullhorn, and when someone from the crowd with
firefighters all around, called out, we can't hear you, he said,
I can hear you, and soon the world will hear you.
The people that knock down these towers will hear you.
That was a moment where if you had the tiniest
bit of love for America, you don't have to be
the most patriotic soul. You just have to give a
(18:59):
tiny little crap about the United States of America. You
felt a surge of yes, we will stand strong against
the vicious murderers who attacked us. And yet comrade Mondami
expresses none of that. Apparently nine to eleven was all about.
And look, he was clear, I'm talking to the Muslims.
(19:20):
By the way, if you're Jewish, and I got to say,
it is astonishing some significant percentage of Jewish voters in
New York or voting for comrade Mondami. I don't get that.
It's like if you go to a farm and go
to the lambs and the sheep and say, hey, we
(19:40):
would like to have an election to select the butcher
like he views them, I believe, as the enemy. And
yet yeah, you have voters. And by the way, there
are wealthy socialites on the Upper East Side who were
voting for him, and and and are perfectly oblivious. You
(20:03):
know when when comrade Momdani abolishes the police and a
crackhead kicks in their front door, suddenly they're there. Let
me ask you, Ben, seriously, you spend a lot. You
spent more time in New York than I have. I mean,
you were a cate ND contributor for like eeteen years.
(20:25):
Help me try to get in the mind. Let's assume
you're a multi millionaire Upper East Side socialite, try to
explain the thinking of saying, I want to vote for
a communist jihadist.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, it's it's it's very interesting because there's I think
there's two things here, is we as we really break
this down. One, I think that to be a socialite
in New York it is now a mandate that you're
a liberal Democrat. You will not rise in the New
York ranks or the Hamptons if you're a hardcore conservative.
(20:59):
I think that that's part of it is just.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
And by the way, to be clear, the alternative.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Here where it's going right.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Yeah, but to be clear, the alternative here, we're talking
to Andrew friggin Cuomo. We're not talking go right wing.
We're not talking Donald Trump, We're not talking Ted Cruz.
We're talking to Andrew frigging Cuomo, a left wing Democrat,
corrupt woman grabbing like like like, I'm not a big
Cuomo fan. But it's not like, if you're a New
(21:27):
York voter you have to suddenly pull the lever for
Jesse Helms and yet, given the choice between a solidly
left wing Democrat and a full on communist, and I
believe America hating Jihannist. It sure looks like I hope
(21:49):
these polls are wrong and maybe a burst of sanity
will pull us back, but it sure looks like a
ton of New Yorkers are gonna say, nope, nope, I
don't want partial lefty, I want full on.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah, I want full blown commie. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Well, and the other thing that's interesting is I was
as I was in New York last it was last week.
I'm up there almost every other week now, and I
talked to a lot of the people there that live there,
and I'm like, I explain this to me. They feel
like they lost so many sane voters because of the COVID.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Lockdown in Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
This is now just yeah, they all went to Florida,
they all moved out. Uh, The sane voters just left.
The crazy stayed under you know, tyrants like Cuomo who
locked them down and took their lives away from them
for two years. Uh and and wouldn't allow them to
even leave their houses or go out or do anything.
I mean, it was a ghost town.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
We all know.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
New York was a ghost town for a very long
time because the lockdown's there, and and so you lost
a large group of voters that were sane. I'm not
saying conservative, I'm just saying they weren't socialist, communist type voters.
And this is now what you're left with. And so
I now look at this, I'm like, all right, Ma,
Natti wins. I think it's pretty clear he's going to
(23:06):
be the mayor.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Of don't concede that. I'm actually not willing to concede that.
I'm going to hold out, hope until the last vote
is counted. It sure looks like that from the polling,
but but I'm not willing to concede that. And by
the way, you might think, Look, one of the things
we try to do on Verdict is we try to
be real. So so we try not to engage in
just partisan rhetoric and hyperbole. Like when I call him
(23:30):
a communist jahatist, I call him a communist because he's
called for, among other things, seizing the means of production,
which is the very essence of the economic core of communism. Yeah,
I call him a jahatist. Okay, let me read you
from his tweet on October seventeenth. Quote today, at masjig
(23:56):
Masjid al Taqua. I had the pleasure of meeting with
Emam Siraj Wahaj, one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders
and a pillar of the Bedste community for nearly a
half century. I was also joined by CM doctor Yusuf
Salam of Harlem, a beautiful jumma. And he sends out
a tweet. Now, who is the person that he's taking
(24:17):
a picture with. Well, this particular Emam is in fact
an unindicted co conspirator in the nineteen ninety three World
Trade Center bombing that killed six people. He also preached
that homosexuality is a disease. And by the way, there
(24:40):
are a bunch of left wing gay and lesbian people
in New York who are voting for this guy. And
he also called for an unarmed quote army of ten
thousand men to wage a gun free Jahad through New
York City. That's what the email I'm called for. That's
(25:02):
who comrade Mamdani poses for a picture with and tweets
out three weeks before the election. He's not hiding it.
He's saying, yeah, he will stand with the jahadis against you,
the innocent citizens. And I got to tell you. Look
to give you a sense also of just how whacked
(25:24):
out the Democratic Socialist of America, which is Comrade Mondani's party,
just yesterday they put out a statement calling on the
United States to release Elias Rodriguez. Who is Elias Rodriguez.
(25:45):
Elias Rodriguez is the deranged terrorist who executed two Jews
in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
This spring.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
And you recall this Elias Rodriguez, by the way, he's
not a Palestinian. He's an Hispanic dude from Chicago. But
he's a left winger who was suckled on the teat
of Marxism and America hate and Jew hate, that is
the left. And he murdered this young couple who had
(26:15):
just been engaged. As you know, I didn't know this
young couple, but a fact I discovered after they were murdered.
The two of them met at an event where I
was speaking, and I knew multiple friends of mine who
knew them well. And it was literally I was the
speaker at the event. They both came to it. They
were both involved in the pro Israel community. They met,
(26:36):
they fell in love, and this lunatic didn't shoot them
once he unloaded his entire magazine into the two of
them murdering a young man and a young woman simply
because they were Jewish. He didn't know them. All he
knew was these are Jews. I must murder them. He screamed,
Free Palestine. Now let me read what the DSA Liberation
(26:58):
Caucus put out, which is the Democrat Socialists of America.
Excellent statement that we are proud to add our name
to free Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners. So understand,
Comrade Mondami's political party is telling the world that a
(27:23):
terrorist who murders in cold blood to Jews because they're Jews,
should not be charged, should not be prosecuted, should be
let to go free, presumably because killing Jews in the
interest of their radical leftist ideology is deserving of no punishment.
They're not saying, let him serve a month in jail.
(27:46):
They're not saying let him serve a week in jail.
They're saying, let him go today with no consequences whatsoever
for the cold blooded murder of two innocent people.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
That is.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
The party of comrade Mondami, who, by all appearances in
the polling, is about to become the next mayor of
New York City. And I will say, listen, Ben, there
are a lot of Republicans who are saying what you
said is, which is, hey, this is great for Republicans,
it's great for conservatives. This will show the world just
how whacked out the left is. I got to tell you,
(28:22):
my heart grieves. Listen, New York it is a great
American city. It is still the center of finance in
America in the world. It is the center of media
at America in the world. And much like I agree
for San Francisco, an iconic American city. Look, San Francisco
doesn't embrace your values of mine, but I don't like
(28:46):
to see lunatics like Gavin Newsom and other leftists destroying
cities that that that are a central part of who
America is. And I got to say, I think a
huge problem with what's happening in New York is young people,
young young people in their twenties who have college degrees,
who were radicalized in college, who sat in the student
(29:10):
lounges drinking lattes and smoking clothes cigarettes and or actually
bongs or whatever and close thing.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Don't forget that. I don't know, but the hand I.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Don't know what you and I were kids. People smoke
clob cigarettes. I actually don't even know if college kids
do now that that that, but whatever they were doing.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Age yourself center, I think you did.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Look.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
You know, I'm going to be fifty five in December,
so it's uh. But the beauty of beauty of it
is in the Senate, they still think I'm twelve. I mean,
like the median age is one hundred and six truth,
and so you know, they they think I'm running around
in short shorts with a beanie. But you know, it's
a bunch of twenty somethings who have never known anything
(29:59):
except college life, and they've been suckled on the lies
of their Marxist professors, and they think, yes, join the revolution,
globalized into Fada. They don't even necessarily know what it means,
but they feel and and by the way, they're also
unhappy with life and angst and and a lot of
(30:20):
these twenty four year olds, you are mad that they're
not billionaires and driving Lamborghinis yet, and so they're like, Okay,
let's just attack the actual billionaires who built companies and
that'll make me feel better.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Well, and it's New York City now, I mean, it
really is.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
There are so many people there they're going to vote
for him because he has basically turned public Enemy number
one into successful New Yorkers that are wealthy, and he's
saying that they've stolen something from you that you never had,
and we're going to take some of it back and
give it to you.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
It's buying votes one oh one.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Your life sucks because of these evil rich people that
have all the one percenters Occupy Wall Street two point
zero or three point oho, whatever version you want to
describe this as. And I think that's the part that
scares me the most is that you can now lose
another great American city the way that you describe San Francisco.
Look at places like Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Memphis, the list
(31:17):
goes on and on. The only good news is there
is a cause and effect, and I think that's why
Donald Trump got elected. I think that's also why he's
being so successful right now. That's why I say, hey,
I need an aoc A Mendani to remind America you
don't want any part of this, and conservatives are getting
it done for you right now. I think that's the
(31:38):
blessing in disguise here.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Look, the unfortunate thing is, and I don't think this
is hyperbole. People are going to die if and when
Comrade Mondami is elected that that is going to be
the concet savagery listen. I was in New York on Friday,
so I was there campaigning for Mike Lawler. Mike Lawler
is a Republican congressman from New York. He's in one
(32:00):
one of the most competitive districts in America. Mike's a
good guy. He he is not as conservative as you
and I are, but given that district he is. He
is a Republican who gets elected and get He's as
conservatives you can get, and he fights for his district.
And and I like Mike, and he asked me, will
you come up and campaign? And so I joined him.
(32:20):
I joined him number one at the Conservative Party of
New York that they had a big dinner and they
had me come in and speak and I actually said something.
I said, if Comrade Mamdani is elected, I'm gonna make
a nomination right now, which is a year from now.
I want to name him the Conservative Party of New
York Man of the Year because Comrade Madani is going
(32:41):
to make more people join the Conservative Party in New
York than anyone has in history as they realize these
people are nuts. And I'm going to make a second
nomination if he is elected. I'm going gonna make this
nomination now. And remember the state write this down, Diaz,
our producer, right there, the state down a year from now,
(33:02):
bring it, bring it up. And on this podcast, I
am going to nominate right now, Comrade Mondani as the
Texas Realature of the Year, because not only is he
going to drive New Yorkers to join the Republican Party
and the Conservative Party, but he is going to result
He is going to rent more U hauls than the
(33:23):
very best Willie Lowman salesman that has ever been in
U haul of people moving from New York and coming
to Texas and coming to Florida. And anyone with any
sense is going to get out of this. Gavin Newsom,
he is Gavin Newsom. And by the way, okay, did
you hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough,
(33:43):
hard scrabble life eating wonderbread growing up in the hood,
Because you know, Gavin was was an oppressed youth. Did
did you see that.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
It was almost as oppressed as he was during the
COVID lockdowns, when he was the only one allowed to
have dinner with his friends without mass on.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Look, to be clear, Gavin Newsom is California Royalties, fourth
or fifth generation California old money. His daddy was one
of the lead lawyers for the Getty billionaire fortune. He
grew up. He was featured in the San Francisco Paper
in an article entitled growing up Rich. And to be clear,
(34:24):
he started a winery with the Getty millions billions actually,
but millions from them. Started a winery at age twenty five. Now, Benjamin,
let me ask you, did you start a winery at
h twenty five?
Speaker 5 (34:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Well, I feel like I worked really hard, but I
promise you it was not a winery at twenty five.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
And look, it's okay. I don't fault Gavin for the
success of his parents, or his grandparents or his great
great grandparents. And it's amazing how many leftists were raised
with silver spoons and inserted just about any place you
could insert a spoon. But when he he pretends like
he's on this this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh,
(35:05):
I just had to support myself. I had to support
myself playing ball like what a load, what a croc?
And it's pathological Newsom is running a different scam than
Mondani is, but it's the same scam.
Speaker 1 (35:24):

your family and your friends on social media wherever you

Speaker 5 (35:31):
Button and I'll talk to you again tomorrow
The US is now sending an aircraft carrier to South
America as the Narco strikes are intensifying. This as Democrats
are claiming that, well, we don't really know if the
people on these boats are actually Narco terrorists. Congressman McCormick,
who is a veteran that served as country, set the
(00:22):
record straight on that on Newsmax. Recredit n Suster. Listen
to what he said about these strikes, including the submarine
that was blown up earlier this week.
Speaker 2 (00:31):
A lot of this is.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Due with our intelligence gathering capabilities. Obviously, we don't take
out people just based on a hunch. They get confirmation
from real intel on what these boats have on board,
like he knew with the submarine, for example, had mostly fentanyl.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Bad guys.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
We knew what gangs they belonged to, and we take
out the bad guys.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
It'd be very careful selection.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
When we used to be on floats and we'd have
an idea what we're going to take out and take
down a ship like that, we couldn't even talk about
we had real live intelligence. If we had any doubt
at all, it'd be called off.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
So these are confirmed targets. These aren't just we hope they're.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Bad guys, Why don't we there's no effort to contact
them and board them. I mean the old days you
could contact if they have a flag from Venezuelia called Venezuela,
say can I board it? Or from Panama or you
can ask to aboard it. But are we boarding, are
we attempting to board any these or we just make
the determination these are bad and boom the.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Gun and we've done in the past. Two things can happen.
First of all, they.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Can run, and they can get away and go back
and they going back to the International while they're home free.
Or they can shoot back and kill our marines and
our sailors or seals or whomever is trying to board
that ship.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now you have a very dangerous situation.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
The question is are you willing to risk lives to
take somebody who you know is smuggling jail? Now you're
got to put them in jail, in our jail system
and eventually get them back there.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
The expense and the danger to our troops versus.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Just taking out bad guys who are literally coming here
that have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths more than
all the wars we've ever fought together. When you start
combining all the deaths that have happened from fentanyl and
overdose and drugs and the gang wars in the inner cities.
If you look at the immortality morbidity of a male
black man in America, and I got this from doctor
Sache when I was a student at Moorhouse, it declined
(02:11):
dramatically with the cocaine wars. With crack cocaine is only
escalated with this sort of warfare that they're basically having
on us.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
You listen to Congress from McCormick there, he's absolutely right,
and he's saying, why would we risk our lives knowing
that these are bad guys that need to be taken out,
Which brings us to the new point. The US military
sending this aircraft carrier to the waters off South America,
the Pentagon announcing this on Friday, in the latest escalation
of military firepower in a region where the Trump administration
(02:41):
has unleashed more rapid strikes in recent days against boats
it accused of carrying drugs just like fetnyl. The Secretary
of War Pete Edseth ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford
and its strike group to deploy to the US Southern
Command region to quote bolster the US capacity to detect, monitor,
(03:02):
and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise a safety
and prosperity of the United States. That coming from the
Pentagon spokesman Sean Pernell, the USS Ford, which has five
destroyers in its strike group, is now deployed to the
Mediterranean Sea. One of its destroyers is in the Arabian
(03:22):
Sea and another in the Red Sea. A person familiar
with the operation told the Associated Press as a Friday,
the aircraft carrier was in port in Croatia on the
Arctic Sea. The person, who spoke on condition of amininity
to discuss sins of military operations, would not say how
long it would take for the strike group to arrive
in the waters off South America, or if all five
(03:45):
destroyers would make that journey. While deploying an aircraft carrier
would surge major additional resources to a region that has
already seen an unusually large US military build up in
the Caribbean Sea and the waters off Venezuela. The latest
appointment and the quickening pace of the US strikes, including
one Friday, raise new speculations about how far the Trump
(04:07):
administration may go in operations it says are targeting drug trafficking,
including whether it could try to topple the Venezuelan president Maduro,
who already has a massive bounty on his head now
he faces charges of narco terrorism. In the United States
of America, there are already more, by the way than
(04:29):
six thousand US sailors and marines on eight warships in
the region. If the entire uss Ford Strike Group arrives,
that could bring nearly four thousand, five hundred more sailors,
as well as the nine squadrons of aircraft assigned to
the carrier. Complicating the situation is also tropical store Melissa,
(04:51):
which has been nearly stationary in the Central Caribbean, with
forecasters warning it could soon strengthen into a powerful hurricane.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Hours before Parnell announced the news, the Secretary of War
Headsets said the military had conducted the ten strike on
a suspected drug running boat, leaving six people dead and
bring the death count for the attacks that began in
early September to at least forty three narco terraces. Headsets
(05:21):
set on social media that the vessel struck overnight was
operating by the trend de Iragua gang. It was the
second time the Trump administration has tied one of its
operations to the gang that originated in a venezuela in prison.
The strikes have ramped up from one every few weeks
(05:42):
when they first began last month to three this week alone,
killing a total of at least forty three terrasts.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Now.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
Two of the most recent strikes were carried out in
the Eastern specific Ocean, expanding the area where the military
has launched attacks and shifting to where much of the
cocaine from the world's largest producers is smuggled.
Speaker 5 (06:04):
Quote.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
If you're a narco terrast smuggling drugs in our hemisphere,
we will treat you like Al Qaeda heads has said
in a post day or night. We will map your networks,
track your people, hunt you down, and kill you. The
strike drew parallels to the first announced by the US
(06:25):
last month by focusing on the Trendy Ragua, which the
Trump administration has designated as a foreign terrorist organization and
blame for being the root of the violence and drug
dealing that plagues some of the cities. While not mentioning
the origin of the latest boat. The Republican administration now
says at least four of the boats it has hit
(06:48):
have come from Venezuela. On Thursday, the US military flu
a pair of supersonic heavy bombers up the coast of
Venezuela in a show of strength. R Dureau argues that
the US operations are the latest efforts to force him
from office. Maduro on Thursday praise security forces and a
(07:10):
civilian militia for defense exercises along some one thousand, two
hundred miles of coastline to prepare for the possibility, he says,
of a US attack, saying in the span of six hours,
one hundred percent of all the country's coastline was covered
in real time, with all the equipment and heavy weapons
(07:30):
to defend all of Venezuelas coast if necessary, Morduro said
during a government event shown on state television. The US
military presence is less about drugs than sending a message
to countries in the region aligned with the US interest.
According to the International Crisis Group, senior analysts for the
Andres Regent Elizabeth Dickinson, an expression that I'm hearing a
(07:54):
lot of drugs are the excuse and everyone knows that
Dickinson said, and I think that message which is very
clear in regional capitals. So the messaging here is that
the US is intent on pursuing specific objectives and it
will use military force against leaders and countries that don't.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Fall in line.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
That is what the left is obviously trying to get
you to believe. But Headset's remarks around the strikes have
recently begun to draw a more direct comparison between the
war on terrorism that the US declared after nine to
eleven and the attacks and Donald Trump's administrations cracked down
now on the drug traffickers whose drugs are killing countless Americans.
(08:37):
President Trump this month declared drug cartels to be unlawful
combatants and said the US was in an armed conflict
with them, relying on the same legal authority used by
the Bush administration after nine to eleven. Every so often
something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.
(08:57):
We can't afford to take our rights for grants.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
It.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
We must draw a line in the sand, and our
friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for
more than twelve years. The truth is there is only
one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans
who believe freedom is we're fighting for, and that company
is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy,
(09:20):
they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is
one of the only carriers offering premium access to all
three major US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service
that you can count on day after day. They also
offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup,
(09:43):
and so much more. And switching has never been easier.
You can activate in minutes on your phone from your
home or your office and you keep your same number.
You've got now keep your same phone, or upgrade to
a new one. And this is where the magic happens.
Every month, about five percent under your bill is given
back to conservative causes at no extra cost to you
(10:05):
that stand up for our First and our Second Amendment rights,
the rights of unborn children, and are wounded warriors and
those that have fought for our country and wear a badge.
So take a stand today and make a difference with
every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson
or nine seven to two Patriot use the promo code
(10:27):
ferguson for a free month of service as well. That's
patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to two
Patriot and make the switch and make a difference with
every call you make. I want to pivot real quick
to another big issue, and that is there is a
guy that is a socialist who is about to be
(10:47):
elected to be the leader of New York City. How
did this happen? How did we get to this point?
Senator Cruz and I sit down to talk about this
and what it means for the Republican Party as well
moving forward. This is a really interesting moment, and I
really do think it's important for us to just kind
of take a step back look at the Democratic Party.
(11:10):
I was doing Shinna Breems show Fox New Sunday, and
the first topic we talked about was Mindanni winning. We
talked about the race in New Jersey and a couple others,
but everyone was focused on Mendannie. And I made the
argument that this is now just the Democratic Party embracing
what they are Marxist socialists, communists. They're fully embracing it.
(11:30):
He is the face of the Democratic Party. I actually
think this is a gift that's going to give to
conservatives Republicanans the midterms like we've never seen before. And
if this is the type of leader they want, AOC
two point zero, even more extreme than AOC.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
That's hard to say.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
It's shocking, but I mean, we went from AOC, we
went from Bernie Sanders to AOC to Mindonnie, and the
Democratic Party has decided not to police this at all.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
So Ben, I gotta say, I came up with the
mnemonic today, so pronounce the guy's name who's about to
be mayor of New York.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Mandani.
Speaker 6 (12:07):
Nope, so I got it wrong. I sent around a tweet.
I sent around a tweet and I realized I misspelled
his name, and look, it's not a name you and
I are terribly used to. But I came up with
the mnemonic to figure it out. It's m a m
as in Mary d a n y and I actually
invert the N and the M. I call him Mandani
(12:29):
and that's not it. And and the way I figured
out the mnemonic was, ma'am, it's Danny because it's mam Danny,
which is really hard, like you keep saying madani, but
it's not. It's am. And I'm just look if we're
But the only way to say, Mam Danny is if
you proceed it with comrade, because when I'm addressing communists,
(12:52):
I call him comrades because that is who he is.
And by the way, if you think that, by the way,
let's be clear, Ben, you will think of m mnemonic.
You're gonna be Mammotstanni. You're you're gonna be on the radio,
you're gonna be doing CNN, and you're gonna think mammots Stanny.
You will repeat it. It will it will be a little
voice in the back of your head and you won't
(13:13):
screw it up. And our listeners want either. But just
a show. I'm not engaged in hyperbole. Maybe you're saying, oh,
come on, he can't.
Speaker 5 (13:19):
Be that bad.
Speaker 6 (13:20):
He's not an actual communist. I want to I want
you to listen to what his father said, that this
is comrade man Danny's father talking about his view of
the United States, and just play the clip.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism,
and the American model was exported all around the world.
Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American
Indians into separate territories for the Nazis. For the Nazis,
(14:02):
this was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things. One that
genocide was doable. It is possible to do genocide. That's
what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized is that you
(14:22):
don't have to have a common citizenship. You can differentiate
between people. The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws. Anyway,
the US put Indians in reservations. The US invented the model.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
I mean, that's where he gets his teachings from. That's
pretty clear.
Speaker 6 (14:47):
So listen, I want you to hear what Mamdani's dad
just said. Abraham Lincoln was the model for Adolf Hitler
and the Nazi He's got concentration camps from the United
States of America. Now let me just ask him just
I want to ask you, Ben seriously and fairly, someone
(15:09):
who says that. Do you think he loves America?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
No?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think he hates America. I think he wants to
trash America. I think he thinks America is literally the
enemy of him.
Speaker 6 (15:19):
Now, is there any indication any whatsoever that Comrade Mandani's
the son his views are one iota different from Daddy's.
Speaker 2 (15:32):
No.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
In fact, it's almost like one one for one super
clone is the way I would describe it.
Speaker 6 (15:38):
Well, okay, but but but let's let's let's play devil's advocate.
You know, look, sometimes dads are whack jobs and sons
become more reasonable. And and Comrade Mondani, I mean, he
did live in New York. He's presumably got some affection
for the people of New York. He's running for governor
New York. Surely something like what happened on September eleventh,
(15:59):
Surely that him packed at him. The entire world watched
in horror as radical Islamic terrorists flew not one but
two planes into the World Trade Center, murdering between the
World Trade Center and the Pentagon, murdering roughly three thousand
Americans in that horrible morning in September. Surely, young comrade
mom Dami was horrified at what he saw and horrified
(16:22):
at the mass slaughter. Well, let's give a listen to
what in his own words, this is not daddy, this
is the sun the comrade. Here's what he said he
thought the day after September eleventh. Give a listen. I
want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims
of New York City.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I want to speak to the memory of.
Speaker 6 (16:44):
My aunt who stopped taking the subway after September eleventh
because she did not feel safe in her hit jab.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
I mean, let's go back to the quote there center,
my aunt stopped taking the subway after nine to eleven
because she didn't feel safe in her a job. He's
actually claiming that she is the victim of nine to eleven.
Speaker 6 (17:08):
Well, and let's be clear, among all of the sentiments
did he express I looked at those planes flying into
the towers, and I felt horrified. But by the way,
as a Muslim, he presumably could say I was horrified
by someone who shares my faith could be so radicalized
as to murder three thousand people. He actually could say
something powerful there. He didn't say that. He didn't say,
(17:30):
I mourned for the people at the top of that
tower as flames roared around them, who faced a choice
between burning alive and jumping to their death. And you
and I both watched those mornings in a horror as
people leapt from one hundred stories high and fell to
their death because the alternative was to burn alive, like
(17:51):
it was a moment America was under attack, and yet
somehow comrade Mondami that that is I can't pronounce his
name either, even with my nemonic, I'm getting it wrong.
But somehow he doesn't express that sentiment. He's like the
horror is the next day my aunt couldn't wear her job.
And by the way, for all of the leftist rhetoric
(18:13):
that the crime of nine to eleven was Islamophobia, I'm
not aware of a meaningful uptick in violence against Muslims
in New York. I actually remember this country coming together,
coming together, strongly, embracing each other, unifying. I remember President
George W. Bush, and I think the finest moment of
his presidency standing on the rubble in New York City
(18:35):
holding a bullhorn, and when someone from the crowd with
firefighters all around, called out, we can't hear you, he said,
I can hear you, and soon the world will hear you.
The people that knock down these towers will hear you.
That was a moment where if you had the tiniest
bit of love for America, you don't have to be
the most patriotic soul. You just have to give a
(18:59):
tiny little crap about the United States of America. You
felt a surge of yes, we will stand strong against
the vicious murderers who attacked us. And yet comrade Mondami
expresses none of that. Apparently nine to eleven was all about.
And look, he was clear, I'm talking to the Muslims.
(19:20):
By the way, if you're Jewish, and I got to say,
it is astonishing some significant percentage of Jewish voters in
New York or voting for comrade Mondami. I don't get that.
It's like if you go to a farm and go
to the lambs and the sheep and say, hey, we
(19:40):
would like to have an election to select the butcher
like he views them, I believe, as the enemy. And
yet yeah, you have voters. And by the way, there
are wealthy socialites on the Upper East Side who were
voting for him, and and and are perfectly oblivious. You
(20:03):
know when when comrade Momdani abolishes the police and a
crackhead kicks in their front door, suddenly they're there. Let
me ask you, Ben, seriously, you spend a lot. You
spent more time in New York than I have. I mean,
you were a cate ND contributor for like eeteen years.
(20:25):
Help me try to get in the mind. Let's assume
you're a multi millionaire Upper East Side socialite, try to
explain the thinking of saying, I want to vote for
a communist jihadist.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
Yeah, it's it's it's very interesting because there's I think
there's two things here, is we as we really break
this down. One, I think that to be a socialite
in New York it is now a mandate that you're
a liberal Democrat. You will not rise in the New
York ranks or the Hamptons if you're a hardcore conservative.
(20:59):
I think that that's part of it is just.
Speaker 6 (21:01):
And by the way, to be clear, the alternative.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Here where it's going right.
Speaker 6 (21:05):
Yeah, but to be clear, the alternative here, we're talking
to Andrew friggin Cuomo. We're not talking go right wing.
We're not talking Donald Trump, We're not talking Ted Cruz.
We're talking to Andrew frigging Cuomo, a left wing Democrat,
corrupt woman grabbing like like like, I'm not a big
Cuomo fan. But it's not like, if you're a New
(21:27):
York voter you have to suddenly pull the lever for
Jesse Helms and yet, given the choice between a solidly
left wing Democrat and a full on communist, and I
believe America hating Jihannist. It sure looks like I hope
(21:49):
these polls are wrong and maybe a burst of sanity
will pull us back, but it sure looks like a
ton of New Yorkers are gonna say, nope, nope, I
don't want partial lefty, I want full on.
Speaker 5 (22:02):
Yeah, I want full blown commie. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Well, and the other thing that's interesting is I was
as I was in New York last it was last week.
I'm up there almost every other week now, and I
talked to a lot of the people there that live there,
and I'm like, I explain this to me. They feel
like they lost so many sane voters because of the COVID.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
Lockdown in Florida.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
This is now just yeah, they all went to Florida,
they all moved out. Uh, The sane voters just left.
The crazy stayed under you know, tyrants like Cuomo who
locked them down and took their lives away from them
for two years. Uh and and wouldn't allow them to
even leave their houses or go out or do anything.
I mean, it was a ghost town.
Speaker 5 (22:42):
We all know.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
New York was a ghost town for a very long
time because the lockdown's there, and and so you lost
a large group of voters that were sane. I'm not
saying conservative, I'm just saying they weren't socialist, communist type voters.
And this is now what you're left with. And so
I now look at this, I'm like, all right, Ma,
Natti wins. I think it's pretty clear he's going to
(23:06):
be the mayor.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
Of don't concede that. I'm actually not willing to concede that.
I'm going to hold out, hope until the last vote
is counted. It sure looks like that from the polling,
but but I'm not willing to concede that. And by
the way, you might think, Look, one of the things
we try to do on Verdict is we try to
be real. So so we try not to engage in
just partisan rhetoric and hyperbole. Like when I call him
(23:30):
a communist jahatist, I call him a communist because he's
called for, among other things, seizing the means of production,
which is the very essence of the economic core of communism. Yeah,
I call him a jahatist. Okay, let me read you
from his tweet on October seventeenth. Quote today, at masjig
(23:56):
Masjid al Taqua. I had the pleasure of meeting with
Emam Siraj Wahaj, one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders
and a pillar of the Bedste community for nearly a
half century. I was also joined by CM doctor Yusuf
Salam of Harlem, a beautiful jumma. And he sends out
a tweet. Now, who is the person that he's taking
(24:17):
a picture with. Well, this particular Emam is in fact
an unindicted co conspirator in the nineteen ninety three World
Trade Center bombing that killed six people. He also preached
that homosexuality is a disease. And by the way, there
(24:40):
are a bunch of left wing gay and lesbian people
in New York who are voting for this guy. And
he also called for an unarmed quote army of ten
thousand men to wage a gun free Jahad through New
York City. That's what the email I'm called for. That's
(25:02):
who comrade Mamdani poses for a picture with and tweets
out three weeks before the election. He's not hiding it.
He's saying, yeah, he will stand with the jahadis against you,
the innocent citizens. And I got to tell you. Look
to give you a sense also of just how whacked
(25:24):
out the Democratic Socialist of America, which is Comrade Mondani's party,
just yesterday they put out a statement calling on the
United States to release Elias Rodriguez. Who is Elias Rodriguez.
(25:45):
Elias Rodriguez is the deranged terrorist who executed two Jews
in Washington, d C.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
This spring.
Speaker 6 (25:55):
And you recall this Elias Rodriguez, by the way, he's
not a Palestinian. He's an Hispanic dude from Chicago. But
he's a left winger who was suckled on the teat
of Marxism and America hate and Jew hate, that is
the left. And he murdered this young couple who had
(26:15):
just been engaged. As you know, I didn't know this
young couple, but a fact I discovered after they were murdered.
The two of them met at an event where I
was speaking, and I knew multiple friends of mine who
knew them well. And it was literally I was the
speaker at the event. They both came to it. They
were both involved in the pro Israel community. They met,
(26:36):
they fell in love, and this lunatic didn't shoot them
once he unloaded his entire magazine into the two of
them murdering a young man and a young woman simply
because they were Jewish. He didn't know them. All he
knew was these are Jews. I must murder them. He screamed,
Free Palestine. Now let me read what the DSA Liberation
(26:58):
Caucus put out, which is the Democrat Socialists of America.
Excellent statement that we are proud to add our name
to free Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners. So understand,
Comrade Mondami's political party is telling the world that a
(27:23):
terrorist who murders in cold blood to Jews because they're Jews,
should not be charged, should not be prosecuted, should be
let to go free, presumably because killing Jews in the
interest of their radical leftist ideology is deserving of no punishment.
They're not saying, let him serve a month in jail.
(27:46):
They're not saying let him serve a week in jail.
They're saying, let him go today with no consequences whatsoever
for the cold blooded murder of two innocent people.
Speaker 5 (27:57):
That is.
Speaker 6 (28:00):
The party of comrade Mondami, who, by all appearances in
the polling, is about to become the next mayor of
New York City. And I will say, listen, Ben, there
are a lot of Republicans who are saying what you
said is, which is, hey, this is great for Republicans,
it's great for conservatives. This will show the world just
how whacked out the left is. I got to tell you,
(28:22):
my heart grieves. Listen, New York it is a great
American city. It is still the center of finance in
America in the world. It is the center of media
at America in the world. And much like I agree
for San Francisco, an iconic American city. Look, San Francisco
doesn't embrace your values of mine, but I don't like
(28:46):
to see lunatics like Gavin Newsom and other leftists destroying
cities that that that are a central part of who
America is. And I got to say, I think a
huge problem with what's happening in New York is young people,
young young people in their twenties who have college degrees,
who were radicalized in college, who sat in the student
(29:10):
lounges drinking lattes and smoking clothes cigarettes and or actually
bongs or whatever and close thing.
Speaker 5 (29:18):
Don't forget that. I don't know, but the hand I.
Speaker 6 (29:22):
Don't know what you and I were kids. People smoke
clob cigarettes. I actually don't even know if college kids
do now that that that, but whatever they were doing.
Speaker 5 (29:32):
Age yourself center, I think you did.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
Look.
Speaker 6 (29:35):
You know, I'm going to be fifty five in December,
so it's uh. But the beauty of beauty of it
is in the Senate, they still think I'm twelve. I mean,
like the median age is one hundred and six truth,
and so you know, they they think I'm running around
in short shorts with a beanie. But you know, it's
a bunch of twenty somethings who have never known anything
(29:59):
except college life, and they've been suckled on the lies
of their Marxist professors, and they think, yes, join the revolution,
globalized into Fada. They don't even necessarily know what it means,
but they feel and and by the way, they're also
unhappy with life and angst and and a lot of
(30:20):
these twenty four year olds, you are mad that they're
not billionaires and driving Lamborghinis yet, and so they're like, Okay,
let's just attack the actual billionaires who built companies and
that'll make me feel better.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
Well, and it's New York City now, I mean, it
really is.
Speaker 1 (30:36):
There are so many people there they're going to vote
for him because he has basically turned public Enemy number
one into successful New Yorkers that are wealthy, and he's
saying that they've stolen something from you that you never had,
and we're going to take some of it back and
give it to you.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
It's buying votes one oh one.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Your life sucks because of these evil rich people that
have all the one percenters Occupy Wall Street two point
zero or three point oho, whatever version you want to
describe this as. And I think that's the part that
scares me the most is that you can now lose
another great American city the way that you describe San Francisco.
Look at places like Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Memphis, the list
(31:17):
goes on and on. The only good news is there
is a cause and effect, and I think that's why
Donald Trump got elected. I think that's also why he's
being so successful right now. That's why I say, hey,
I need an aoc A Mendani to remind America you
don't want any part of this, and conservatives are getting
it done for you right now. I think that's the
(31:38):
blessing in disguise here.
Speaker 6 (31:39):
Look, the unfortunate thing is, and I don't think this
is hyperbole. People are going to die if and when
Comrade Mondami is elected that that is going to be
the concet savagery listen. I was in New York on Friday,
so I was there campaigning for Mike Lawler. Mike Lawler
is a Republican congressman from New York. He's in one
(32:00):
one of the most competitive districts in America. Mike's a
good guy. He he is not as conservative as you
and I are, but given that district he is. He
is a Republican who gets elected and get He's as
conservatives you can get, and he fights for his district.
And and I like Mike, and he asked me, will
you come up and campaign? And so I joined him.
(32:20):
I joined him number one at the Conservative Party of
New York that they had a big dinner and they
had me come in and speak and I actually said something.
I said, if Comrade Mamdani is elected, I'm gonna make
a nomination right now, which is a year from now.
I want to name him the Conservative Party of New
York Man of the Year because Comrade Madani is going
(32:41):
to make more people join the Conservative Party in New
York than anyone has in history as they realize these
people are nuts. And I'm going to make a second
nomination if he is elected. I'm going gonna make this
nomination now. And remember the state write this down, Diaz,
our producer, right there, the state down a year from now,
(33:02):
bring it, bring it up. And on this podcast, I
am going to nominate right now, Comrade Mondani as the
Texas Realature of the Year, because not only is he
going to drive New Yorkers to join the Republican Party
and the Conservative Party, but he is going to result
He is going to rent more U hauls than the
(33:23):
very best Willie Lowman salesman that has ever been in
U haul of people moving from New York and coming
to Texas and coming to Florida. And anyone with any
sense is going to get out of this. Gavin Newsom,
he is Gavin Newsom. And by the way, okay, did
you hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough,
(33:43):
hard scrabble life eating wonderbread growing up in the hood,
Because you know, Gavin was was an oppressed youth. Did
did you see that.
Speaker 1 (33:54):
It was almost as oppressed as he was during the
COVID lockdowns, when he was the only one allowed to
have dinner with his friends without mass on.
Speaker 5 (34:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (34:01):
Look, to be clear, Gavin Newsom is California Royalties, fourth
or fifth generation California old money. His daddy was one
of the lead lawyers for the Getty billionaire fortune. He
grew up. He was featured in the San Francisco Paper
in an article entitled growing up Rich. And to be clear,
(34:24):
he started a winery with the Getty millions billions actually,
but millions from them. Started a winery at age twenty five. Now, Benjamin,
let me ask you, did you start a winery at
h twenty five?
Speaker 5 (34:36):
No?
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Well, I feel like I worked really hard, but I
promise you it was not a winery at twenty five.
Speaker 6 (34:42):
And look, it's okay. I don't fault Gavin for the
success of his parents, or his grandparents or his great
great grandparents. And it's amazing how many leftists were raised
with silver spoons and inserted just about any place you
could insert a spoon. But when he he pretends like
he's on this this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh,
(35:05):
I just had to support myself. I had to support
myself playing ball like what a load, what a croc?
And it's pathological Newsom is running a different scam than
Mondani is, but it's the same scam.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
