Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is a guy that is a socialist who is
about to be 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. So, Senator, this is a
really interesting moment, and I really do think it's important
(00:22):
for us to just kind of take a step back
look at the Democratic Party. I was doing Shinnon Breems
show Fox News 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 Mendanni. And I made the argument that this is
now just the Democratic Party embracing what they are Marxist socialists, communists.
(00:47):
They're fully embracing it. He is the face of the
Democratic Party. I actually think it's a gift that's going
to give to conservatives and Republican cans the midterms like
we've never seen before. And if this is the type
of here they want AOC two point zero even more
extreme than AOC, that's hard to say, it's shocking, but
I mean, we went from AOC. We went from Bernie
(01:07):
Sanders to AOC to Mandanni and and the Democratic Party
has decided not to police this at all.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So Ben I got to say, I came up with
a mnemonic today, so pronounce the guy's name who's about
to be mayor of New York.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Mandanni.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Nope, so I got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I sent around a tweet with any of them.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
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
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,
(01:55):
which is really hard like you keep saying, but it's
not m an, it's may And I'm just look if
we're But the only way to say ma'm Danny is
if you proceed it with comrade, because when I'm addressing communists,
I call him comrades because that is who he is.
And by the way, if you think that By the way,
(02:16):
let's be clear, Ben, you will think of my 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 mammo's Stanni.
You will repeat it. It will it will be a little
voice in the back of your head and you won't
screw it up. And our listeners want either. But just
a show. I'm not engaged in hyperbole. Maybe you're saying, oh,
(02:36):
come on, he can't.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Be that bad.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
He's not an actual communist. I want to I want
you to listen to what his father said. That this
is comrade, Ma'm Danny's father talking about his view of
the United States, and just play the clip.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
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.
(03:20):
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
(03:40):
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 (04:00):
I mean, that's that's where he gets his teachings from.
That's pretty clear.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
So listen, I want you to hear what Mendanni's dad
just said. Abraham Lincoln was the model for Adolph Hitler,
and the Nazis 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 who
(04:27):
says that. Do you think he loves America?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
No, I think he hates America. I think he wants
to trash America. I think he thinks America is literally
the enemy of him.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Now, is there any indication, any whatsoever that Comrade Mondani's
the son his views are one iota different from daddy's.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
In fact, it's almost like one one for one super
clone is the way I would describe it.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
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 Comrade Mandani, 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. Surely that
(05:17):
impacted 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 Mamdami was horrified at
(05:38):
what he saw and horrified 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.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I want to use this moment to speak to the
Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to
the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway
after September eleventh because she did not feel safe in
her hijab.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean, let's go back to the quote there sat
my aunt stopped taking the subway after nine to eleven
because she did not feel safe in her hjab. He's
actually claiming that she is the victim of nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
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
(06:49):
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
(07:10):
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 naemonica, 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
(07:30):
by the way, for all of the leftist rhetoric 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,
(07:51):
and I think the finest moment of his presidency, standing
on the rubble in New York City holding a bullhorn,
and when someone from the 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
(08:11):
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 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.
(08:33):
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. 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
(08:55):
go to a farm and go to the lambs and
the sheep and say, hey, we would like to have
an election to select the butcher like he views them,
I believe, as the enemy. And yet you have voters.
And by the way, there are wealthy socialites on the
(09:18):
Upper east Side who were voting for him and are
perfectly oblivious. You know, when Comrade Danni abolishes the police
and a crackhead kicks in their front door suddenly there.
Let me ask you, Ben, seriously, you spend a lot.
(09:39):
You spent more time in New York than I have.
I mean, you were a say at end contributor for
like eeteen years. 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 (10:00):
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.
(10:21):
I think that's that's part of it is just.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And by the way, to be clear, the alternative.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Here where it's going right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, but but to be clear, the alternative here, we're
talking to Andrew friggin Cuomo. We're not talking to the
right wing. We're not talking Donald Trump, we're not talking
Ted Cruz. We're talking to Andrew fg 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
(10:48):
you're a New York voter you have to suddenly pull
the lever for Jesse Hilms. And yet, given the choice
between a solidly left wing Democrat and a full on
communist and I believe America hating Jahatist, it sure looks
(11:10):
like I hope 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 going to say, Nope, nope,
I don't want partial lefty, I want full on.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I want COMI. Every so often, something happens that
reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't
afford to take our rights for granted. 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
(11:45):
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, they're also outpacing
the competition in technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the
the only carriers offering premium access to all three major
US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service that you
(12:08):
can count on day after day. They also offer unlimited
data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup, in 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.
(12:30):
And this is where the magic happens. Every month, about
five percent of your bill is given back to conservative
causes at no extra cost to you 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 a country and wear a badge. So
take a stand today and make a difference with every
(12:52):
call you make. Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or
nine to seven to two Patriot. Use the promo code
ferguson for a free month of service as well. That's
patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to patriot
And make the switch and make a difference with every
(13:12):
call you make. 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 lockdown.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
They're all in Florida.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This is now just yeah, they all went to Florida.
They all moved out. 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 and wouldn't allow them to even leave their
houses or go out or do anything. It was a
ghost town. We all know New York was a ghost
(13:52):
town for a very long time because the lockdown's there.
And so you lost a large group of voters that
were saying 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, Mandatti wins. I think it's pretty
(14:13):
clear he's going to be the mayor.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
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
(14:38):
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
(15:04):
Masjid al Taqua, I had the pleasure of meeting with
Imam Siraj Wahaj, one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders
and a pillar of the Bedsty 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
(15:25):
a picture with? Well, this particular Imam 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
(15:48):
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 Emam called for that's who
(16:10):
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 out the Democratic
(16:34):
Socialist of America, which is Comrade Madani's party, just yesterday
they put out a statement calling on the United States
to release Elias Rodriguez. Who is Elias Rodriguez. Elias Rodriguez
(16:55):
is the deranged terrorist who executed two Jews in Washington,
d C. This spring. 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
(17:17):
Jew hate. That that is the left. And he murdered
this young couple who had 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
(17:38):
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, 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
(18:01):
me read what the DSA Liberation Caucus put out, which
is the Democrats Socialists of America excellent statement that we
are proud to add our name to free Elias Rodriguez
and all political prisoners. So understand, Comrade Mundami's political party
(18:26):
is telling the world that a 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
(18:51):
let him serve a month in jail. They're not saying
let him serve a week in jail. They're saying let
him go today with no consequence. This is whatsoever for
the cold blooded murder of two innocent people.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That is.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
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
(19:29):
how whacked out the left is. I got to tell you,
my heart grieves. Listen, New York it is a great
American city. It is still the center of finance in
America and 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
(19:52):
doesn't embrace your values of mine. But I don't like
to see lunatics like Gavin Newsom and other leftists destroying
cities 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
(20:14):
were radicalized in college, who sat in the student lounges
drinking lattes and smoking clothes cigarettes and and or actually
bongs or whatever and close thing.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Don't forget that. I don't know, but the hand I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
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 1 (20:41):
Age yourself center, I think you did.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Look, 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 tru
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
(21:08):
except college life, and they've been suckled on the lies
of their Marxist professors, and they think, yes, join the revolution,
globalize the Intofada. They don't even necessarily know what it means,
but they feel. And by the way, they're also unhappy
with life and angst and and a lot of these
(21:29):
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 1 (21:43):
Well, and it's New York City now, I mean it
really is. 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. It's buying votes
one oh one. Your life sucks because of these evil
(22:06):
rich people that have all the one percenters. It's occupy
Wall Street two point zero or three point oh, 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,
(22:26):
the list 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 it's being so successful right now. That's why I say, hey,
I need an aoc A Mandani 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
(22:47):
blessing in disguise. Here.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
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 savage 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
(23:09):
of the most competitive districts in America. Mike's a good guy.
He is not as conservative as you and I are,
but given that district he is. He is a Republican
who gets elected and you get He's as conservatives you
can get, and he fights for his district. And I
like Mike, and he asked me, will you come up
and campaign? And so I joined him. I joined him
(23:30):
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 going to 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 Modani is going to
make more people join the Conservative Party in New York
(23:54):
than anyone has in history as they realize these people
are nuts. Uh And and I'm gonna make a second
nomination if he is elected. I'm gonnam gonna make this
nomination now. And remember the state. Write this down, Diaz
our producer, write this date down a year from now,
bring it, bring it up, and on this podcast, I
am going to nominate right now comrade Mondani as the
(24:19):
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
very best Willie Lowman salesman that has ever been in
U haul of people moving from New York and coming
(24:40):
to Texas and coming to Florida. And anyone with any
sense is going to get out of this. Gaveners, he
is Gavin Newsom. And by the way, okay, did you
hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough, hard
scrabble life eating wonderbread growing up in the hood. Because
you know, Gavin was was a an oppressed youth. Did
(25:03):
you see that.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
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. You know.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
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
(25:31):
in an article entitled growing Up Rich. And to be clear,
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 1 (25:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Why?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I feel like I worked really hard, But I promise
you it was not a winery at twenty five.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And look, it's okay. I don't fault Gavin for the
success of his parents or his grandparents great great grandparents.
And it's amazing how many leftists were raised with silver
spoons and inserted just about any place you can insert
a spoon. But when he pretends like he's on this
(26:13):
this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh, I just
had to support myself. I had to support myself playing ball,
like what a load, what a croc?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And it's pathological.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Newsom is running a different scam than Mandani is, but
it's the same scam. It is marketing Marxism, socialism, confiscatory
government power and trying to make it. I will say this,
I'm gonna compliment right now both Comrade Mondani and Gavin Newsom.
(26:50):
They got great smiles. I mean, to be honest, every
dentist in America must be like, look at those pearly
whites theres smile like it. And you know, I gotta
say and I'll say this as a Cuban American whose family,
you know, fled Cuba, it really feels better if you're
a dissident being lined up from the firing squad. If
(27:12):
you know that the communist ordering your death or smiling
like it really makes it less painful as you're sent
to the gulag. To know it's a good looking tyrant
who is sending me to the Gulag, But sadly that's
where we are. And can I ask you one more
(27:33):
question on this topic? Sure, is there is there a
single sane Democrat who is calling out Comrade Mom, Donnie
or Gavin Newsom on these issues.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, because they created these crazies and they allowed them
to fester in their party and they literally didn't police
their party. So this is the Democratic Party now, and
their leaders are not Democrats. They are Commis, they are socialists,
they are Marxists. Just look around the country. This is
who they are.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Look the elected members of the Democrat Party, particularly on
the national scene, they're scared. They're scared of the mob.
They're scared of the angry left wing radicals with torches
and pitchforks. We saw this at the No King's rally
where they're terrified. We're in the middle, we're in day
(28:26):
twenty seven of the Schumer shutdown. Because they're terrified of
the mob. And so elected Democrats are terrified. But again, listen,
we endeavor on this podcast to try to be real,
to try to have facts, to try not to engage
in just empty partisan rhetoric. So maybe you might say,
all right, cruise Ferguson that they're not the most impartial,
(28:50):
unbiased observers if you're not inclined to listen to us.
Although I will say, if you've made it twenty nine
minutes into this podcast and you're not inclined to listen
to us, wow, you've got some endurance. Bravos of you.
But indulge and indulge the setup. Nonetheless, if you're not
inclined to listen to us, perhaps you would be inclined
(29:10):
to listen to Bill Maher. Bill Maher is a liberal,
he is a Democrat. He's been a liberal and his
democrat a Democrat his whole life. Listen to what Bill
Maher had to say, the warning to Democrats he had
to say about comrade Mundani.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
The Democrats, let's face it, they're kind of split. Now
there's the far left version that did not do too
well in recent elections, and then people like the governors
say we've got to come back to the middle, common sense,
And whenever this discussion comes up, this is what you
hear a lot. We need a sister soldier moment a
time when some issue with the Democrat says, look, I'm
not with the far left, and this is how you
(29:46):
know you can trust me that I'm not. I think
I have the issue, okay, and it's the mayor's race
in New York. I think he seems like a sweet guy,
mum donni. But I would just like to say, because
the election is in a couple of weeks, this is
not just New York that's on the ballot. I think
(30:08):
the whole Democratic Party in the country is on the ballot,
and the whole country will be looking at this race
to see which way are the Democrats going to go. No,
Andrew Cuomo may not be that exciting and that inspirational,
but you know, for a party that said we want
to get back to normal, he's kind of normal.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I mean, what, well, he's done some things in his history.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
That I know, Well, we did a deep dive on
that because we had him on the show. A lot
of it is kind of bullshit. I mean, maybe he
was a little too handsy, a little too Italian, uh,
a little too touchy.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
You know, he did not little too Italian, that's what
he said.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
You know, yes, you know you did not get the memo.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I mean, it's when you're having to defend Cuomo to
try to save your party you're not in a good place.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Well, but Bill Maher, and let's be clear, Bill Maher
did not vote for Donald Trump. Bill Maher would not
vote for me. He is a liberal, he is a Democrat.
But Bill Maher every day makes more and more sense
because his party has gone so batcrap crazy that he
believes in things like free speech. He believes in things
(31:21):
like not supporting a communist government that seizes private property
and the means of production in society. He doesn't want
to support Hamas terrorists and other jahatists. That used to
be mainstream, that used to be all of those propositions
were things. It used to be the case that Republicans
(31:44):
and Democrats came together. Look Bill Clinton. When Bill Clinton
was president, neither you nor I supported Bill Clinton. We
did not vote for Bill Clinton. But you know what
the Bill Clinton election when he was elected, it was
not the fate of Western civilization. It was not do
we elect a communist jihadist. I would have rather a
(32:05):
Republican be elected. But the world didn't end when Bill
Clinton got elected. Bill Clinton's views. If you took a
candidate with the identical policy views of Bill Clinton and
ran him today, they would tar and feather him and
drive him out of the Democrat Party. He would be
completely an.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Entirely to president.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
He would not get elected. He probably wouldn't get elected
as a Democrat dogcatcher because they have radicalized and they
instead want someone like comrade Monami, whose party says release
the terrorists who murders Jews because they're Jews. That's where
their radical base is. And and you know, some of
(32:44):
y'all may not may not know what a sister Soldier
moment is. And and sister soldier actually refers to Bill Clinton.
When Bill Clinton was was running for president, sister Soldier
was was this rapper? And and and Bill Clinton denounced
her in the middle of the primary. And it would
viewed as a brave moment of sort of taking on
his base. But it demonstrated to the voters, or it
(33:06):
was perceived to demonstrate to the voters that he was
reasonable and rational and not a crazy nutcase. And it
is an interesting question is there even one national Democrat?
By the way, Gavin Newsom wants to be elected president,
can he denounce Mundami? Jamie Pritzker wants to be elected president?
Can he do it? Corey Booker wants to Chris Murphy
(33:29):
wants to. None of them are going to because look,
John Fetterman has been critical. But John Fetterman, I think
the Democrat Party is being quite explicit that they're going
to do everything they can to drive him out of
the Democrat Party, just like they would Bill Clinton if
he were there. But I don't know a Democrat, and interestingly,
(33:50):
one ambitious Democrat is there. Nobody looking around. Andy Basher,
who's pretending he's a moderate in Kentucky. Josh Shapiro, who
has got to be horrified at what Mandami's saying. Has
he said a word crickets, crickets, crickets? There is not one,
(34:12):
and maybe that will change. But but but I fear
not just for the state of the Democrat Party, but
I fear uh for for the future of our republic.
I think we do better when we have two political
parties that are reasonable and rational and have some meaningful
disagreements than we do with one party that is utterly
(34:32):
whack job and trying to destroy America. Look, we've seen
through history it is a pendulum, and it goes from
one party to the other. There will come a time
when these lunatics are a charge of the country again,
and they've gotten so extreme that that that I really
shudder and fear for our great nation.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Amen, don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday Friday.
We always try to bring you the biggest news we
can and let you know what's going on behind the scenes.
Even at three thirteen am Eastern time, as we're wrapping
this podcast, if you don't think we're committed, just look
at the clock right now, three at three point fifteen.
This may be our latest one we've ever done, Cinter,
and you should be committed. That should be. That's very true,
(35:14):
very true, three fifteen in the morning. We're finishing this
thing up. I hit that subscribe auto download button and
the center and I will see you back here on
Wednesday morning.
There is a guy that is a socialist who is
about to be 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. So, Senator, this is a
really interesting moment, and I really do think it's important
(00:22):
for us to just kind of take a step back
look at the Democratic Party. I was doing Shinnon Breems
show Fox News 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 Mendanni. And I made the argument that this is
now just the Democratic Party embracing what they are Marxist socialists, communists.
(00:47):
They're fully embracing it. He is the face of the
Democratic Party. I actually think it's a gift that's going
to give to conservatives and Republican cans the midterms like
we've never seen before. And if this is the type
of here they want AOC two point zero even more
extreme than AOC, that's hard to say, it's shocking, but
I mean, we went from AOC. We went from Bernie
(01:07):
Sanders to AOC to Mandanni and and the Democratic Party
has decided not to police this at all.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
So Ben I got to say, I came up with
a mnemonic today, so pronounce the guy's name who's about
to be mayor of New York.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Mandanni.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Nope, so I got it wrong.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I sent around a tweet with any of them.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
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
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,
(01:55):
which is really hard like you keep saying, but it's
not m an, it's may And I'm just look if
we're But the only way to say ma'm Danny is
if you proceed it with comrade, because when I'm addressing communists,
I call him comrades because that is who he is.
And by the way, if you think that By the way,
(02:16):
let's be clear, Ben, you will think of my 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 mammo's Stanni.
You will repeat it. It will it will be a little
voice in the back of your head and you won't
screw it up. And our listeners want either. But just
a show. I'm not engaged in hyperbole. Maybe you're saying, oh,
(02:36):
come on, he can't.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Be that bad.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
He's not an actual communist. I want to I want
you to listen to what his father said. That this
is comrade, Ma'm Danny's father talking about his view of
the United States, and just play the clip.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
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.
(03:20):
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
(03:40):
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 (04:00):
I mean, that's that's where he gets his teachings from.
That's pretty clear.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
So listen, I want you to hear what Mendanni's dad
just said. Abraham Lincoln was the model for Adolph Hitler,
and the Nazis 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 who
(04:27):
says that. Do you think he loves America?
Speaker 1 (04:31):
No, I think he hates America. I think he wants
to trash America. I think he thinks America is literally
the enemy of him.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Now, is there any indication, any whatsoever that Comrade Mondani's
the son his views are one iota different from daddy's.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
In fact, it's almost like one one for one super
clone is the way I would describe it.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
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 Comrade Mandani, 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. Surely that
(05:17):
impacted 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 Mamdami was horrified at
(05:38):
what he saw and horrified 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.
Speaker 5 (05:56):
I want to use this moment to speak to the
Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to
the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway
after September eleventh because she did not feel safe in
her hijab.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
I mean, let's go back to the quote there sat
my aunt stopped taking the subway after nine to eleven
because she did not feel safe in her hjab. He's
actually claiming that she is the victim of nine to eleven.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
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
(06:49):
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
(07:10):
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 naemonica, 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
(07:30):
by the way, for all of the leftist rhetoric 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,
(07:51):
and I think the finest moment of his presidency, standing
on the rubble in New York City holding a bullhorn,
and when someone from the 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
(08:11):
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 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.
(08:33):
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. 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
(08:55):
go to a farm and go to the lambs and
the sheep and say, hey, we would like to have
an election to select the butcher like he views them,
I believe, as the enemy. And yet you have voters.
And by the way, there are wealthy socialites on the
(09:18):
Upper east Side who were voting for him and are
perfectly oblivious. You know, when Comrade Danni abolishes the police
and a crackhead kicks in their front door suddenly there.
Let me ask you, Ben, seriously, you spend a lot.
(09:39):
You spent more time in New York than I have.
I mean, you were a say at end contributor for
like eeteen years. 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 (10:00):
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.
(10:21):
I think that's that's part of it is just.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
And by the way, to be clear, the alternative.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Here where it's going right.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Yeah, but but to be clear, the alternative here, we're
talking to Andrew friggin Cuomo. We're not talking to the
right wing. We're not talking Donald Trump, we're not talking
Ted Cruz. We're talking to Andrew fg 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
(10:48):
you're a New York voter you have to suddenly pull
the lever for Jesse Hilms. And yet, given the choice
between a solidly left wing Democrat and a full on
communist and I believe America hating Jahatist, it sure looks
(11:10):
like I hope 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 going to say, Nope, nope,
I don't want partial lefty, I want full on.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Yeah, I want COMI. Every so often, something happens that
reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are. We can't
afford to take our rights for granted. 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
(11:45):
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, they're also outpacing
the competition in technology. Patriot Mobile is one of the
the only carriers offering premium access to all three major
US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service that you
(12:08):
can count on day after day. They also offer unlimited
data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup, in 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.
(12:30):
And this is where the magic happens. Every month, about
five percent of your bill is given back to conservative
causes at no extra cost to you 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 a country and wear a badge. So
take a stand today and make a difference with every
(12:52):
call you make. Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson or
nine to seven to two Patriot. Use the promo code
ferguson for a free month of service as well. That's
patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to patriot
And make the switch and make a difference with every
(13:12):
call you make. 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 lockdown.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
They're all in Florida.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
This is now just yeah, they all went to Florida.
They all moved out. 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 and wouldn't allow them to even leave their
houses or go out or do anything. It was a
ghost town. We all know New York was a ghost
(13:52):
town for a very long time because the lockdown's there.
And so you lost a large group of voters that
were saying 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, Mandatti wins. I think it's pretty
(14:13):
clear he's going to be the mayor.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
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
(14:38):
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
(15:04):
Masjid al Taqua, I had the pleasure of meeting with
Imam Siraj Wahaj, one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders
and a pillar of the Bedsty 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
(15:25):
a picture with? Well, this particular Imam 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
(15:48):
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 Emam called for that's who
(16:10):
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 out the Democratic
(16:34):
Socialist of America, which is Comrade Madani's party, just yesterday
they put out a statement calling on the United States
to release Elias Rodriguez. Who is Elias Rodriguez. Elias Rodriguez
(16:55):
is the deranged terrorist who executed two Jews in Washington,
d C. This spring. 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
(17:17):
Jew hate. That that is the left. And he murdered
this young couple who had 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
(17:38):
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, 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
(18:01):
me read what the DSA Liberation Caucus put out, which
is the Democrats Socialists of America excellent statement that we
are proud to add our name to free Elias Rodriguez
and all political prisoners. So understand, Comrade Mundami's political party
(18:26):
is telling the world that a 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
(18:51):
let him serve a month in jail. They're not saying
let him serve a week in jail. They're saying let
him go today with no consequence. This is whatsoever for
the cold blooded murder of two innocent people.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
That is.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
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
(19:29):
how whacked out the left is. I got to tell you,
my heart grieves. Listen, New York it is a great
American city. It is still the center of finance in
America and 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
(19:52):
doesn't embrace your values of mine. But I don't like
to see lunatics like Gavin Newsom and other leftists destroying
cities 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
(20:14):
were radicalized in college, who sat in the student lounges
drinking lattes and smoking clothes cigarettes and and or actually
bongs or whatever and close thing.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Don't forget that. I don't know, but the hand I
don't know.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
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 1 (20:41):
Age yourself center, I think you did.
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Look, 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 tru
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
(21:08):
except college life, and they've been suckled on the lies
of their Marxist professors, and they think, yes, join the revolution,
globalize the Intofada. They don't even necessarily know what it means,
but they feel. And by the way, they're also unhappy
with life and angst and and a lot of these
(21:29):
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 1 (21:43):
Well, and it's New York City now, I mean it
really is. 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. It's buying votes
one oh one. Your life sucks because of these evil
(22:06):
rich people that have all the one percenters. It's occupy
Wall Street two point zero or three point oh, 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,
(22:26):
the list 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 it's being so successful right now. That's why I say, hey,
I need an aoc A Mandani 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
(22:47):
blessing in disguise. Here.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
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 savage 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
(23:09):
of the most competitive districts in America. Mike's a good guy.
He is not as conservative as you and I are,
but given that district he is. He is a Republican
who gets elected and you get He's as conservatives you
can get, and he fights for his district. And I
like Mike, and he asked me, will you come up
and campaign? And so I joined him. I joined him
(23:30):
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 going to 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 Modani is going to
make more people join the Conservative Party in New York
(23:54):
than anyone has in history as they realize these people
are nuts. Uh And and I'm gonna make a second
nomination if he is elected. I'm gonnam gonna make this
nomination now. And remember the state. Write this down, Diaz
our producer, write this date down a year from now,
bring it, bring it up, and on this podcast, I
am going to nominate right now comrade Mondani as the
(24:19):
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
very best Willie Lowman salesman that has ever been in
U haul of people moving from New York and coming
(24:40):
to Texas and coming to Florida. And anyone with any
sense is going to get out of this. Gaveners, he
is Gavin Newsom. And by the way, okay, did you
hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough, hard
scrabble life eating wonderbread growing up in the hood. Because
you know, Gavin was was a an oppressed youth. Did
(25:03):
you see that.
Speaker 1 (25:04):
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. You know.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
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
(25:31):
in an article entitled growing Up Rich. And to be clear,
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 1 (25:47):
No?
Speaker 3 (25:47):
Why?
Speaker 1 (25:48):
I feel like I worked really hard, But I promise
you it was not a winery at twenty five.
Speaker 2 (25:53):
And look, it's okay. I don't fault Gavin for the
success of his parents or his grandparents great great grandparents.
And it's amazing how many leftists were raised with silver
spoons and inserted just about any place you can insert
a spoon. But when he pretends like he's on this
(26:13):
this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh, I just
had to support myself. I had to support myself playing ball,
like what a load, what a croc?
Speaker 1 (26:26):
And it's pathological.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
Newsom is running a different scam than Mandani is, but
it's the same scam. It is marketing Marxism, socialism, confiscatory
government power and trying to make it. I will say this,
I'm gonna compliment right now both Comrade Mondani and Gavin Newsom.
(26:50):
They got great smiles. I mean, to be honest, every
dentist in America must be like, look at those pearly
whites theres smile like it. And you know, I gotta
say and I'll say this as a Cuban American whose family,
you know, fled Cuba, it really feels better if you're
a dissident being lined up from the firing squad. If
(27:12):
you know that the communist ordering your death or smiling
like it really makes it less painful as you're sent
to the gulag. To know it's a good looking tyrant
who is sending me to the Gulag, But sadly that's
where we are. And can I ask you one more
(27:33):
question on this topic? Sure, is there is there a
single sane Democrat who is calling out Comrade Mom, Donnie
or Gavin Newsom on these issues.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
No, because they created these crazies and they allowed them
to fester in their party and they literally didn't police
their party. So this is the Democratic Party now, and
their leaders are not Democrats. They are Commis, they are socialists,
they are Marxists. Just look around the country. This is
who they are.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (28:06):
Look the elected members of the Democrat Party, particularly on
the national scene, they're scared. They're scared of the mob.
They're scared of the angry left wing radicals with torches
and pitchforks. We saw this at the No King's rally
where they're terrified. We're in the middle, we're in day
(28:26):
twenty seven of the Schumer shutdown. Because they're terrified of
the mob. And so elected Democrats are terrified. But again, listen,
we endeavor on this podcast to try to be real,
to try to have facts, to try not to engage
in just empty partisan rhetoric. So maybe you might say,
all right, cruise Ferguson that they're not the most impartial,
(28:50):
unbiased observers if you're not inclined to listen to us.
Although I will say, if you've made it twenty nine
minutes into this podcast and you're not inclined to listen
to us, wow, you've got some endurance. Bravos of you.
But indulge and indulge the setup. Nonetheless, if you're not
inclined to listen to us, perhaps you would be inclined
(29:10):
to listen to Bill Maher. Bill Maher is a liberal,
he is a Democrat. He's been a liberal and his
democrat a Democrat his whole life. Listen to what Bill
Maher had to say, the warning to Democrats he had
to say about comrade Mundani.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
The Democrats, let's face it, they're kind of split. Now
there's the far left version that did not do too
well in recent elections, and then people like the governors
say we've got to come back to the middle, common sense,
And whenever this discussion comes up, this is what you
hear a lot. We need a sister soldier moment a
time when some issue with the Democrat says, look, I'm
not with the far left, and this is how you
(29:46):
know you can trust me that I'm not. I think
I have the issue, okay, and it's the mayor's race
in New York. I think he seems like a sweet guy,
mum donni. But I would just like to say, because
the election is in a couple of weeks, this is
not just New York that's on the ballot. I think
(30:08):
the whole Democratic Party in the country is on the ballot,
and the whole country will be looking at this race
to see which way are the Democrats going to go. No,
Andrew Cuomo may not be that exciting and that inspirational,
but you know, for a party that said we want
to get back to normal, he's kind of normal.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
I mean, what, well, he's done some things in his history.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
That I know, Well, we did a deep dive on
that because we had him on the show. A lot
of it is kind of bullshit. I mean, maybe he
was a little too handsy, a little too Italian, uh,
a little too touchy.
Speaker 5 (30:45):
You know, he did not little too Italian, that's what
he said.
Speaker 4 (30:50):
You know, yes, you know you did not get the memo.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I mean, it's when you're having to defend Cuomo to
try to save your party you're not in a good place.
Speaker 2 (30:59):
Well, but Bill Maher, and let's be clear, Bill Maher
did not vote for Donald Trump. Bill Maher would not
vote for me. He is a liberal, he is a Democrat.
But Bill Maher every day makes more and more sense
because his party has gone so batcrap crazy that he
believes in things like free speech. He believes in things
(31:21):
like not supporting a communist government that seizes private property
and the means of production in society. He doesn't want
to support Hamas terrorists and other jahatists. That used to
be mainstream, that used to be all of those propositions
were things. It used to be the case that Republicans
(31:44):
and Democrats came together. Look Bill Clinton. When Bill Clinton
was president, neither you nor I supported Bill Clinton. We
did not vote for Bill Clinton. But you know what
the Bill Clinton election when he was elected, it was
not the fate of Western civilization. It was not do
we elect a communist jihadist. I would have rather a
(32:05):
Republican be elected. But the world didn't end when Bill
Clinton got elected. Bill Clinton's views. If you took a
candidate with the identical policy views of Bill Clinton and
ran him today, they would tar and feather him and
drive him out of the Democrat Party. He would be
completely an.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Entirely to president.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
He would not get elected. He probably wouldn't get elected
as a Democrat dogcatcher because they have radicalized and they
instead want someone like comrade Monami, whose party says release
the terrorists who murders Jews because they're Jews. That's where
their radical base is. And and you know, some of
(32:44):
y'all may not may not know what a sister Soldier
moment is. And and sister soldier actually refers to Bill Clinton.
When Bill Clinton was was running for president, sister Soldier
was was this rapper? And and and Bill Clinton denounced
her in the middle of the primary. And it would
viewed as a brave moment of sort of taking on
his base. But it demonstrated to the voters, or it
(33:06):
was perceived to demonstrate to the voters that he was
reasonable and rational and not a crazy nutcase. And it
is an interesting question is there even one national Democrat?
By the way, Gavin Newsom wants to be elected president,
can he denounce Mundami? Jamie Pritzker wants to be elected president?
Can he do it? Corey Booker wants to Chris Murphy
(33:29):
wants to. None of them are going to because look,
John Fetterman has been critical. But John Fetterman, I think
the Democrat Party is being quite explicit that they're going
to do everything they can to drive him out of
the Democrat Party, just like they would Bill Clinton if
he were there. But I don't know a Democrat, and interestingly,
(33:50):
one ambitious Democrat is there. Nobody looking around. Andy Basher,
who's pretending he's a moderate in Kentucky. Josh Shapiro, who
has got to be horrified at what Mandami's saying. Has
he said a word crickets, crickets, crickets? There is not one,
(34:12):
and maybe that will change. But but but I fear
not just for the state of the Democrat Party, but
I fear uh for for the future of our republic.
I think we do better when we have two political
parties that are reasonable and rational and have some meaningful
disagreements than we do with one party that is utterly
(34:32):
whack job and trying to destroy America. Look, we've seen
through history it is a pendulum, and it goes from
one party to the other. There will come a time
when these lunatics are a charge of the country again,
and they've gotten so extreme that that that I really
shudder and fear for our great nation.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Amen, don't forget. We do this show Monday, Wednesday Friday.
We always try to bring you the biggest news we
can and let you know what's going on behind the scenes.
Even at three thirteen am Eastern time, as we're wrapping
this podcast, if you don't think we're committed, just look
at the clock right now, three at three point fifteen.
This may be our latest one we've ever done, Cinter,
and you should be committed. That should be. That's very true,
(35:14):
very true, three fifteen in the morning. We're finishing this
thing up. I hit that subscribe auto download button and
the center and I will see you back here on
Wednesday morning.
