1. The Oval Office Meeting
- Event: Trump confirms a meeting with Mamdani, the mayor-elect of NYC.
- Tone: Highly adversarial; Mamdani is repeatedly labeled as “communist,” “lunatic,” and “nut job.”
- Purpose: Trump frames the meeting as an effort to “save New York,” while suggesting Mamdani seeks publicity and political leverage.
- Mamdani’s Agenda: Focus on affordability—rent freezes, free buses, city-owned grocery stores, expanded childcare—criticized as socialist handouts.
- Backdrop: Rising radical activism in NYC, including pro-Palestinian protests at a synagogue, described as antisemitic and dangerous. This is tied to fears of a “new Mamdani era.”

- Jobs Report: September added 119,000 jobs (double expectations), with construction jobs surging by 19,000—the largest monthly gain in a year.
- Wages & Inflation: Wages up 3.8% year-over-year; real wages projected to rise $1,200 annually. Inflation claimed to be under control.
- Contrast with Biden Era: Biden blamed for 9% inflation and $3,000 wage loss for workers.
- Foreign Investment: Trump’s “America First” policies credited with attracting $9 trillion in investments from global players (UAE, Qatar, Japan, Apple, EU firms, Saudi Arabia, Nvidia, etc.).
- Framing: Positions Trump as reversing “Bidenflation” and restoring economic strength.
3. Democratic Party Turmoil
- Government Shutdown Fallout: Longest shutdown in history sparks internal revolt.
- Civil War Narrative: Progressive wing (AOC, Tlaib, etc.) vs. establishment (Schumer, Pelosi).
- Leadership Crisis: Calls for Schumer’s ouster; speculation about AOC running for Senate or higher office.
- Tone: Democrats are fractured, radicalized, and leaning toward socialism/Marxism.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
So there is a meeting that the media is completely
obsessed with. It is a meeting that's scheduled in the
Oval Office. Today. Trump publicly confirming on a social media
platform True Social that the communist mayor of New York City, Mondani,
has asked for a meeting, and the President said, We've
agreed to this meeting and it will take place at
(00:22):
the Oval Office on Friday. Mondani, as you know, is
the incoming mayor elect of New York City. He won
that November fourth election. Despite deep ideological rivalries, both sides
have signaled a willingness, at least in rhetoric, to engage
on issues affecting New York. Now here's what President Trump
has said. He's repeatedly labeled Mondannie one hundred percent communist, lunatic,
(00:44):
and a total nut job. On the November twenty first announcement,
he flagged that he may withhold or reduce federal funding
if he deems Mendanni's leadership problematic. The White House pres
Secretary Caroline Levitt ahead of the meeting said this communists
coming to the White House because that is who the
Democratic Party elected as the mayor of the largest city
(01:06):
in the country. Now It's very clear that the President
cares deeply about New York City. That may be one
of the reasons why he's willing to have this meeting
with Mandanni. It's a place where he created his empire,
where he hosted The Apprentice, where he announced his run
to become president of the United States of America. He
obviously is concerned about the greatest city in America and
(01:27):
doesn't want it to become a massive disaster. But he
also understands what he's dealing with Mondani, and the fact
is he's dealing with a socialists. This is, by the way,
the Democratic Party. This is exactly who they are. They
are no longer a party that loves this country. They're
a party that believes this country is evil. They believe
(01:49):
this country should be destroyed and remade as a socialist country,
a communist country, a Marxist country. This is now the
real Democratic Party. So why have this meeting? Well, maybe
the President's actually trying to save New York And why
is Mandanni having the meeting. Well, here's what Mendannia has said.
He described himself as a democratic socialist, not a communist,
(02:13):
and has rejected the communist label, even though that's exactly
what he's been the majority of his life. His agenda
is emphasizing what he describes as affordability in New York City.
In reality, it's full government control and handouts things like
rent freezes, free buses, city owned grocery stores, and expanding
(02:33):
free childcare. The question is who's going to pay for it.
On the meeting, he said, I just want to speak
plainly to the President about what it means to actually
stand up for New Yorkers and the way in which
the New Yorkers are struggling to afford this city. He
confirmed this team reached out to the White House to
request the meeting. So here's my prediction. I think it's
(02:57):
pretty clear that Mandannie is already thinking about what is
next job is going to be. It's very obvious that
he's turning into a star of the Democratic Party that
is an essence dead and now a socialist party. He
clearly wants to meet with Donald Trump for the reason
of raising his own stature or even to maybe have
a spectacle come out of it to say I stood
(03:19):
up to Orange Man Donald Trump, who's bad. But is
it really gonna do anything good for New York City? Well,
look at New York City and what's going on right now.
You literally have pro Palacidian activists that have besieged New
York City and the synagogues there. Moundani error has already
(03:39):
begun as hundreds of pro Palasidian activists, pro terrorist activists
went to Manhattan's prestigious Party Synagogue on Wednesday night, chanting
globalize the Infantada, death to the IDF, and take another
settler out, and what critics warrant is just the beginning
of a radical climate under the Socialist mayor elect Mandani.
(04:04):
The nighttime demonstration targeted at an event about Jewish immigration
to Israel hosted inside the synagogue, which has stood on
East sixty seventh Street since eighteen ninety and also houses
a prominent Jewish day school. Now, you would think that
the radical left would keep the school a school and
(04:24):
not radicalize people to go there and then to put
people's lives at risk or to harass students at a
Jewish school, But that is exactly what they did. Radical
pro Palacadian activists pounded drums and unleashed a barrage of
in semiary chants, including resistance is glorious, Infantada Revolution no
(04:44):
peace on stolen land, referring to Israel and saying we
don't want no two states, we want forty eight and
from New York to Gaza, globalize the Infatada with signs
declaring Zionism is a death and no settlers on stolen land.
This is literally who Mindani is deciding is important to him.
(05:08):
Attendees entered an exit the building were jeered at close range.
As one protest leader told the crowd, it is our
duty to make them think twice before holding these events.
We need to make them scared, prompting activists to repeat
the line, now, let's be clear. These individuals say it's
their job to scare people who are Jewish. The New
(05:31):
York Police Department deployed officers and metal barricades that separate
the demonstrators from a smaller group of Jewish counter protesters
who blew schaffars and whistles, shown flashlights of the crowd
and shout it back, you were cowards, and stopped protesting
at a synagogue. Police said the protests were permitted and
(05:52):
reported no arrests. Ken Or Benny, who serves as both
the canter of Parky Synagogue and the director of the
Rabbi Arthur Parkise Day School described the scene as a
very disturbing scene, noting the demonstrators shouted phrases such as
kill the Jews, destroy Israel, and no Jews in America.
(06:15):
He said many members of the community were very, very
concerned by the language and by the decision to target
a synagogue. All of this coming from the New York
Post and the scenes outside the Parkis also triggered a
wave of shocking reaction on x from rabbis, clergy, commentators, activists,
and even elected officials. He framed the protests as a
(06:35):
chilling echo of the nineteen thirties and a warning of
what they will call the new Mundani era in New York.
One of the rabbis there, who first posted the video
of the protests, wrote that anti Semite showed up outside
the Parkis Synagogue and are chanting for the Infantada, stressing
that the synagogue senior rabbi is a Holocaust survivor who
(06:59):
vividly rem what happened during the Holocaust and now sees
the same human material outside his own synagogue. He insisted
that this is not about Gaza and has never been
about Gaza, and that the demonstration is an attack on
the Jewish people. I couldn't agree more. And this goes
(07:20):
back to the meeting with Mundani. Mundani is supported by
these radicals, and Mundani has made it clear he's no
fan of Israel, even saying that he would have his
New York Police Department arrest Benjaminette Yahoo if he came
to New York City. So here we are. The President
has an opportunity to meet with Mndanni and to talk
(07:43):
to him, and there's a very good chanceman Mondonnie's just
using this meeting to say I stood up to Donald Trump.
So what's going to happen moving forward? Well, who knows.
What I do know is the President is smart and
is willing to meet with virtually anyone to have a dialogue.
I hope that Mandonni comes in the meeting and maybe
(08:04):
decides to listen instead of just say that everyone that
against him is evil or to somehow claim that Jews
don't belong in New York City. What is also shocking
is how quickly New York is changing and how fast
radicals on the left are saying, we now have an
environment where we can do things like this in front
(08:25):
of a synagogue, and we have a mayor that will
allow it to happen and back it up. 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
(08:47):
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,
they're also outpacing the petition 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

(10:13):
and make the switch and make a difference with every
call you make. Welcome, it's been Ferguson's show. It is
nice to have you with us. There's an old saying
in politics, it's the economy stupid. It's an important one
because if Americans feel like the economy is not going
in the right direction, they almost always blame whoever is
(10:34):
in charge of the country, the president of the United
States of America. Well, there are a lot of Americans
right now that are not happy where pricing is and
where the economy is. It's part of the reason why
President Donald Trump was elected president. But Democrats are seizing
this moment to now say that Donald Trump's economy is
a disaster. The Trump White House they're fighting back and
(10:57):
working to fix what they describe as the affordability crisis
and proving that they're making significant progress in this area
after Americans suffered under Biden inflation for years. The White
House Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt pointing out during Thursday's
press briefing just how bad things were, saying, quote, these
(11:18):
gains came after the summer passage of President Trump's historic
tax cuts and multiple big trade deals with countries around
the world. In particular, construction jobs is served by nineteen
thousand September, the largest monthly game in a year. She
also pointed out that most of this growth came from
(11:39):
private sector, and native born citizens are getting these jobs
rather than foreign born workers. This, Levitt pointed out as
the opposite of what we saw under the Biden administration.
She also reminded Americans of this that inflation also remains
under control and wages are up three point eight percent
(12:01):
over the year for American workers because of President Trump's
pro growth policies. In fact, oral wages are at a
pace to increase roughly one thousand, two hundred dollars for
the average worker this year alone under President Donald Trump. Now,
if the economy is in such bad shape, how is
it that wages are going up like this? Now, There's
(12:24):
no doubt that a lot of the money we're making
now is going to goods and services that are high price.
The President also working on that, saying, quote, what we're
doing this is a complete reversal when we saw inflation
skyrocket to nine percent, causing private sector workers to see
their wages decline by approximately three thousand dollars. While Americans
(12:50):
are still suffering the consequences of the four years of
economic disaster the Biden administration. The White House Press Secretary
said Donald Trump is making significant progress to fix this
and he will not stop working until he solves it.
As the President recently stated, he is never satisfied.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
In economic news. This September jobs report showed the American
economy remains strong, with one hundred and nineteen thousand new
jobs added, more than double expectations. These gains came after
the summer passage of President Trump's historic tax cuts and
multiple big trade deals with countries around the world. In particular,
(13:29):
construction jobs surged by nineteen thousand in September, the largest
monthly gain in a year. Nearly all of this solid
monthly job growth came from the private sector and went
to Americans rather than foreign born workers, the opposite of
what we saw under the previous administration. Inflation also remains
(13:50):
under control and wages are up by three point eight
percent over the year for American workers because of President
Trump's pro growth policies. In fact, real wages are on
pace to increase roughly twelve hundred dollars for the average
worker this year under President Trump. This is a complete
reversal of the failed Biden era, when we saw inflation's
(14:11):
skyrocket to nine percent, causing private sector workers to see
their wages decline by approximately three thousand dollars. We know
that Americans are still hurting from the four decade high
inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats, but President
Trump is making significant progress to fix this and he
will not stop working until he solves it. As the
(14:34):
President recently stated, he is never satisfied.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The White House Press Secretary wasn't the only one talking
about the positives and the economy. Vice President j. D
Vance also pointing to the economic realities of Yes, things
are bad in some categories because of what happened over
the last four years, but the Biden administration didn't ruin America,
and Donald Trump is fixing it as fast as he
(14:59):
possible we can. Here's what the Vice president had to
say in a Breitbart News event on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
As president, the big news this morning is new jobs
numbers blew away expectation huge from the September numbers, so
these were delayed because of the government shutdown. More than
double one hundred nineteen thousand new jobs. And then also
there's some interesting stuff in the wag wages numbers there
as well. This shows wages on the rise. Your thoughts
on the jobs numbers.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Okay, so a huge jobs report and I assume the
market is going crazy right now, probably just opened. Because
what this shows is that the Trump economic policies are
actually working, and you've got one hundred nineteen thousand new jobs.
Economists thought that we would have about fifty thousand new jobs,
but that's actually just the headline number. If you look
below the surface, I think the numbers are actually better.
So Number one, wages continue to weigh out pace inflation.
(15:46):
If you go back to the three years of the
Biden administration, the average American worker actually lost about three
thousand dollars of take home pay. In the first ten
months of the Trump economy, we've increased take home pay
by about twelve hundred dollars, adjusting for inflation. And so
that's a huge, huge thing. And this Job's report confirms that.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So if you go back to the lie being told
by the media that things are terrible, they weren't freaking
out when that workers lost about three thousand dollars of
take home pay under the Biden administration. In the first
ten months of the Trump economy, you've got wage increases,
a take home pay of about one two hundred dollars.
(16:24):
That is a massive forty two one hundred dollars swing. Now,
he also highlighted the private sectors driving this economy growth
and the jobs are going to native born citizens rather
than foreign workers. It's a drastic change from the reality
under the Biden administration. And what happened under the Biden
(16:45):
administration is to the extent that there was any job
growth at all. If you look at the data, JD.
Van said, almost all of the net job creation in
the United States under the Biden administration went to foreign
foreign workers. Now, of course, some of those people are
illegal immigrants in the United States of America, he continued,
(17:06):
but that meant a lot of the job creation was
actually going to legal aliens who shouldn't have been in
our country. Senator Bernie Marino, Republican from Ohio, also pointed
out the fact that the influx of foreign workers imported
by the Biden administration really hurt American workers, and Americans
are remember the damage that was inflicted upon the country
(17:27):
under the Biden administration, and it cannot be undone what
they did to this country in a matter of months,
surging this country with up to twenty million illegal immigrants.
He also urged Republicans to respond with urgency, saying these
realities coincide with the Trump administration celebrating the strides made
in the affordability crisis since Donald Trump took office in January.
(17:51):
That includes falling gas prices which reached record highs under
Joe Biden, as well as dipping mortgage rates, falling inflation,
and boost and take home pay. Those victories do not
even include what the Trump administration has achieved through trade
deals and historic investments secured by the president, all of
(18:14):
which the President has been talking about is steps in
the right direction. What the media should be calling this
is the Trump Effect. Since President Donald Trump returned to office,
it's very clear that his America First economic policies have
sparked trillions of dollars in new investments in US manufacturing, technology,
(18:35):
and infrastructure. Total US and foreign investment is now at
nine trillion dollars. Where's the money coming from? The UAE
putting in foreign investments of one point four trillion into
manufacturing and industry, technology, aerospace as well. Qatar putting one
point two trillion into America again in manufacturing, an industry
(18:58):
sector with technology and manufacturing being the main point. Japan
one trillion into auto plants in US steel, Apple six
hundred billion into technology and manufacturing as well. EU firms
putting in general investment of six hundred billion, Saudi Arabia
putting in six hundred billion and now saying it's going
(19:20):
to go to one trillion dollars again in technology and manufacturing,
Soft Bank, Open AI and Oracle five hundred billion all
AI infrastructure projects, Navidia a half a trillion dollars into
AI infrastructure and supercomputers, India investing a half a billion
(19:41):
and mutual trade expansion South Korea four hundred and fifty
billion US energy products, Micron two hundred billion semiconductor manufacturing
and research and development, IBM one hundred and fifty billion
of growth and manufacturing operations in the US. Pfizer seventy
(20:01):
billion into research, development and capital projects, and Google sixty
eight billion for AI infrastructure, electrician grants, hydro power facilities,
just to name a few. There are countless investments. I
could go on and on with Johnson, Johnson, Astrozenka, Bristol, Meyers, Squibb, Amazon, Hondai, Eli, Lilly.
(20:26):
The list is long. But what did the President do here?
He made it clear if you want to do business
in America, you need to invest in America. You can't
just export or import. You must be a real player
in this country. And that is exactly why the President
has made it possible through his leadership for the USC
(20:46):
a surge of private and foreign investments that are fueling
job growth, innovation, and opportunity across every corner of the country. So,
yet again, the President making good on a promise. Even
the media is trying to tell you that everything's terrible
in America, when the reality is we're moving in the
(21:07):
right direction. With the government shut down finally over. We're
now seeing the carnage of what happened in this country
during the longest government shut down in history. And there's
a very good chance there could be another shutdown coming
in early next year. Why because the radical left has
(21:29):
taken over the Democratic Party, which brings us to a
big takeaway of the government shutdown. And that is the
civil war that is taking place right now. AOC and
the Progressives are now turning on Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
It is an unprecedented moment of civil war for the
(21:50):
Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Chuck Schumer has been an establishment elitist liberal from New
York for decades. He is now coming under growing fire
after his handling of the recent governments shut down negotiations,
even though he voted against opening the government back up. Now,
in particular, the fact that a bipartison group of eight
(22:13):
Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government without securing key
Democrat demands healthcare substies for Obamacare that's out of control
and unaffordable. That is now the flashpoint for the radical left. Now,
the vote is seen by many progressive Democrats, you know,
the socialists, Communists and Marxists of the Democratic Party and
(22:37):
grassroots groups as capitulation to Republicans and Donald Trump. Many
now say they phil Schumer did not use the leverage
his caucus had, and then his signals are signals of weakness.
AOC publicly now questioning whether Schumer should remain in his
(22:57):
role as leader of the Senate, pointing to broader structural
issues in the Democratic Party. Other House Democrats Rocanna or
she Talib and even state leaders like Gavin Newsom and
Governor of New York Kathyochel have also now voiced discontent
with the extreme leftist Chuck Schumer. You can't make it
(23:21):
up now. Despite the pressure, Schumer has refused to step down,
insisting he made the tough call for the country and
the party.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Several currents are driving this internal revolt. Perceived lack of
a fight is number one. For many Democratic donors and
many younger and more progressive Democrats. The movement demands what well,
aggressive opposition, including violence against Donald Trump and any Republican
that gets in their way. The same people that celebrated
(23:53):
the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and celebrate the literal
assassination of Charlie. Schumer's strategy is being viewed as quote
too cautious or deferential by many of the radical leftists.
Organizational fatigue is another thing that's been quoted by Democratic insiders,
(24:15):
saying the Democratic base is just well frustrated with the
messaging that emphasizes tradition, processing, bipartisanship over radical bold wins.
Schumer's leadership style, they say, is well long overdue, long
tenure institutional relationships, and just not a good framework for
the Marxists and socialists that have taken over the party.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The shutdown fight was a leverage movement, they say, and
many believe that Chuck Schumer and his caucus could have
extracted more from Republicans but quote did not, which means
it's time for him to go. So what is the
status and what is the challenge to Chuck Schumer? Well,
(24:58):
at present, there's no formal motion in the Senate Caucus
to force Schumer to be out. Leadership changes typically come
via internal elections or a caucus vote, and we haven't
seen that yet. Now the pressure is clearly more public
and more signaling of what can come in the days
and weeks ahead. Progressive groups are going to war, and
(25:22):
even some members of Congress are now calling openly for
total new leadership. This as Nancy Pelosi has announced that
she will not seek reelection as well. Schumer's refusal, they
say to step down means well, the default remains him
in the role as leader of the Democratic Party unless
(25:43):
the size of a block of Senate Democrats move to
replace him. The coming months are gonna matter, and the
big question is will Chuck Schumer force a government shutdown
yet again come January. There are many Democrats that are saying,
we're willing to let you go to January, but if
you don't do it again and do a better job,
(26:03):
then we're done with you. And that may be one
of the silver linings of this government shutdown is we
are now witnessing a full blown civil war within the
Democratic Party. AOC by the way, may have been the
only Democratic winner from the government shutdown, raising her name
recognition and making it clear there's a very good chance
(26:27):
she could be the next Senator from New York, going
after Chuck Schumer's seat as well as his leadership role.
And that is what you can take away from the
government shutdown. I also want you to take a listen
to this conversation on Fox and Friends. It goes back
to the point I was making a moment ago, and
(26:49):
that is right now, the Democratic.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Party is in a civil war.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
And they also didn't get what they claimed they actually
wanted from the government shutdown. Take a listen to how
they described it on Fox.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
One point four million federal workers and we lost fourteen
billion out the economy. One point four million federal workers
going without pay. Besides that, what did the Democrats get
out of it?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
If that was they knew that was going to happen,
and they wanted to do this longer. So I mean,
when you just said King Jeffery is going it's not over.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah, it's over, but he's doing it for the progressive base.
But my thing is all these federal workers, they're unions
buying large, they support the Democrats, and they're still cheering
for the government to be shut down. At what point
do you pick your family over the party and say
I can't support these guys if they're going to keep
the government shut down. Just to get back at Trump
(27:43):
and say it's causing maximum pain this is the only
leverage that they have. You gotta stop supporting these people AFC.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
She said that this is a coordinated effort between the
Democrats and the Republicans. The ones who voted with the Republicans.
There were eight in the Senate to vote with Republicans,
six in the House that voted with Publicans. And no,
it's just common sense. We want snap benefits to go
to the families that need it. We want you to
get your paycheck if you work for the federal government.
Here's a here are some reactions from AOC and some
(28:12):
of the progressive House members.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
There's no one vote that ended this shutdown. We are
talking about a coordinated effort of eight senators with the
knowledge of Leader Schumer, voting to break with the entire
Democratic Party in exchange for nothing.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I think we're in an unprecedented moment that you know,
demands that we consider whether or not it's the time
for new leadership.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Do you think the Senate Democrats need a new leader?
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Yes, there to do, but that's not in my hands.
I mean, they've got to have a lot of primaries.
I mean, you have.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
With the Senator the Center from Massachusetts going to be challenged.
We know that for sure, looks like Chuck Schumer is
going to get a challenge. The whole push from these
angry left wing activists is to challenging these guys and
these women. In the primaries, they were somewhat moderate, and
I think that's why maybe Jeene Cheen retired, Gary Peters
is retiring, Dick Durbin's getting older, but he was retiring.
(29:11):
They know they're going to be challenged for more left wing,
more progressive candidates.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I think it's just bad for the country.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
It was bad for the country, but I think it's
time to finally have this fight of the socialism versus
capitalism fight. I think if we really want to just
put it in his grave on a national level, we
need a strong candidate. Maybe it's JD. Vans and Marco
Rubill being together, whoever decides to win in the primary,
and we need strong Senate candidates to say this is
(29:39):
not American. This is where Seth Moulton, who used to
be considered a modern all because he wants the senencee
and Massachusetts, has turned into this radical lunatic now. And
it's I think it's a temporary solution to get to
the base. But when you run in the general election,
people are going to reject this.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Well, everyone's wondering what direction does the Democratic Party go.
They're divided who will be their new leader If Chuck Schumer,
if AOC primaries, so will it be AOC.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
She was asked on.
Speaker 9 (30:07):
Whether or not Chuck Schumer should remain the minority leader.
Listen as minority leader.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I think what is so important for folks to understand
is that this problem is bigger than one person, and
it actually is bigger than the minority leader in the Senate.
And Senate Democrats have selected their leadership to represent them,
and so the question needs to be bigger than just
one person. We have several Senate primaries this cycle. I
(30:39):
know I'm being asked about New York that is years
from now, after mind my own constituents, because they think
that this election is this year. We actually do have
Senate elections this year, and my hope is that people
across this country actually participate in their primary elections in
selecting their leadership. Thank you, really, thank you.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
She's running. No comment is running, No commonis in Okay.
You know, I don't want to say just yet, but
I'm not saying that I'm not wrong.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
It could be the Kamala Harris thing where Kamala Harris says, yea,
I'm not going to run for governor. Off to think
about it, because she wants to run for president. She
might be hedging because she might think that she has
the support to run for president, especially with the Seattle,
you know, the radical Seattle, the whole Enchilada. Yeah, I
think she might see a window. You know, ever since
Chris Christie waited and then missed the window, I think
(31:27):
all these politicians are afraid of missing their window.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
If she sees that window, I think she runs.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
And I think most likely what's gonna happen is it's
going to be a midterm election. Chuck Schrumeroll announced he's
not running for reelection, and I think that would open the.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Door for she can't.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
This is the civil war happening within the Democratic Party.
And it's not just in New York, it's all over
the country. The Democratic Party is dead. I've been saying
this for a long time on this show. It is
the Marxists, the Socialists and the communists that have taken
over are now calling the shots and they're forcing out
(32:03):
their own leaders who actually gave them a platform at
the very beginning of all of this. Don't forget share
this podcast please with your family and your friends wherever
they are, and I will see you back here tomorrow.
So there is a meeting that the media is completely
obsessed with. It is a meeting that's scheduled in the
Oval Office. Today. Trump publicly confirming on a social media
platform True Social that the communist mayor of New York City, Mondani,
has asked for a meeting, and the President said, We've
agreed to this meeting and it will take place at
(00:22):
the Oval Office on Friday. Mondani, as you know, is
the incoming mayor elect of New York City. He won
that November fourth election. Despite deep ideological rivalries, both sides
have signaled a willingness, at least in rhetoric, to engage
on issues affecting New York. Now here's what President Trump
has said. He's repeatedly labeled Mondannie one hundred percent communist, lunatic,
(00:44):
and a total nut job. On the November twenty first announcement,
he flagged that he may withhold or reduce federal funding
if he deems Mendanni's leadership problematic. The White House pres
Secretary Caroline Levitt ahead of the meeting said this communists
coming to the White House because that is who the
Democratic Party elected as the mayor of the largest city
(01:06):
in the country. Now It's very clear that the President
cares deeply about New York City. That may be one
of the reasons why he's willing to have this meeting
with Mandanni. It's a place where he created his empire,
where he hosted The Apprentice, where he announced his run
to become president of the United States of America. He
obviously is concerned about the greatest city in America and
(01:27):
doesn't want it to become a massive disaster. But he
also understands what he's dealing with Mondani, and the fact
is he's dealing with a socialists. This is, by the way,
the Democratic Party. This is exactly who they are. They
are no longer a party that loves this country. They're
a party that believes this country is evil. They believe
(01:49):
this country should be destroyed and remade as a socialist country,
a communist country, a Marxist country. This is now the
real Democratic Party. So why have this meeting? Well, maybe
the President's actually trying to save New York And why
is Mandanni having the meeting. Well, here's what Mendannia has said.
He described himself as a democratic socialist, not a communist,
(02:13):
and has rejected the communist label, even though that's exactly
what he's been the majority of his life. His agenda
is emphasizing what he describes as affordability in New York City.
In reality, it's full government control and handouts things like
rent freezes, free buses, city owned grocery stores, and expanding
(02:33):
free childcare. The question is who's going to pay for it.
On the meeting, he said, I just want to speak
plainly to the President about what it means to actually
stand up for New Yorkers and the way in which
the New Yorkers are struggling to afford this city. He
confirmed this team reached out to the White House to
request the meeting. So here's my prediction. I think it's
(02:57):
pretty clear that Mandannie is already thinking about what is
next job is going to be. It's very obvious that
he's turning into a star of the Democratic Party that
is an essence dead and now a socialist party. He
clearly wants to meet with Donald Trump for the reason
of raising his own stature or even to maybe have
a spectacle come out of it to say I stood
(03:19):
up to Orange Man Donald Trump, who's bad. But is
it really gonna do anything good for New York City? Well,
look at New York City and what's going on right now.
You literally have pro Palacidian activists that have besieged New
York City and the synagogues there. Moundani error has already
(03:39):
begun as hundreds of pro Palasidian activists, pro terrorist activists
went to Manhattan's prestigious Party Synagogue on Wednesday night, chanting
globalize the Infantada, death to the IDF, and take another
settler out, and what critics warrant is just the beginning
of a radical climate under the Socialist mayor elect Mandani.
(04:04):
The nighttime demonstration targeted at an event about Jewish immigration
to Israel hosted inside the synagogue, which has stood on
East sixty seventh Street since eighteen ninety and also houses
a prominent Jewish day school. Now, you would think that
the radical left would keep the school a school and
(04:24):
not radicalize people to go there and then to put
people's lives at risk or to harass students at a
Jewish school, But that is exactly what they did. Radical
pro Palacadian activists pounded drums and unleashed a barrage of
in semiary chants, including resistance is glorious, Infantada Revolution no
(04:44):
peace on stolen land, referring to Israel and saying we
don't want no two states, we want forty eight and
from New York to Gaza, globalize the Infatada with signs
declaring Zionism is a death and no settlers on stolen land.
This is literally who Mindani is deciding is important to him.
(05:08):
Attendees entered an exit the building were jeered at close range.
As one protest leader told the crowd, it is our
duty to make them think twice before holding these events.
We need to make them scared, prompting activists to repeat
the line, now, let's be clear. These individuals say it's
their job to scare people who are Jewish. The New
(05:31):
York Police Department deployed officers and metal barricades that separate
the demonstrators from a smaller group of Jewish counter protesters
who blew schaffars and whistles, shown flashlights of the crowd
and shout it back, you were cowards, and stopped protesting
at a synagogue. Police said the protests were permitted and
(05:52):
reported no arrests. Ken Or Benny, who serves as both
the canter of Parky Synagogue and the director of the
Rabbi Arthur Parkise Day School described the scene as a
very disturbing scene, noting the demonstrators shouted phrases such as
kill the Jews, destroy Israel, and no Jews in America.
(06:15):
He said many members of the community were very, very
concerned by the language and by the decision to target
a synagogue. All of this coming from the New York
Post and the scenes outside the Parkis also triggered a
wave of shocking reaction on x from rabbis, clergy, commentators, activists,
and even elected officials. He framed the protests as a
(06:35):
chilling echo of the nineteen thirties and a warning of
what they will call the new Mundani era in New York.
One of the rabbis there, who first posted the video
of the protests, wrote that anti Semite showed up outside
the Parkis Synagogue and are chanting for the Infantada, stressing
that the synagogue senior rabbi is a Holocaust survivor who
(06:59):
vividly rem what happened during the Holocaust and now sees
the same human material outside his own synagogue. He insisted
that this is not about Gaza and has never been
about Gaza, and that the demonstration is an attack on
the Jewish people. I couldn't agree more. And this goes
(07:20):
back to the meeting with Mundani. Mundani is supported by
these radicals, and Mundani has made it clear he's no
fan of Israel, even saying that he would have his
New York Police Department arrest Benjaminette Yahoo if he came
to New York City. So here we are. The President
has an opportunity to meet with Mndanni and to talk
(07:43):
to him, and there's a very good chanceman Mondonnie's just
using this meeting to say I stood up to Donald Trump.
So what's going to happen moving forward? Well, who knows.
What I do know is the President is smart and
is willing to meet with virtually anyone to have a dialogue.
I hope that Mandonni comes in the meeting and maybe
(08:04):
decides to listen instead of just say that everyone that
against him is evil or to somehow claim that Jews
don't belong in New York City. What is also shocking
is how quickly New York is changing and how fast
radicals on the left are saying, we now have an
environment where we can do things like this in front
(08:25):
of a synagogue, and we have a mayor that will
allow it to happen and back it up. 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
(08:47):
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,
they're also outpacing the petition 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
(09:12):
that you 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
(09:33):
a new one. 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.
(09:53):
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
Ferguson for a free month of service as well. That's
patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to two Patriot,
(10:13):
and make the switch and make a difference with every
call you make. Welcome, it's been Ferguson's show. It is
nice to have you with us. There's an old saying
in politics, it's the economy stupid. It's an important one
because if Americans feel like the economy is not going
in the right direction, they almost always blame whoever is
(10:34):
in charge of the country, the president of the United
States of America. Well, there are a lot of Americans
right now that are not happy where pricing is and
where the economy is. It's part of the reason why
President Donald Trump was elected president. But Democrats are seizing
this moment to now say that Donald Trump's economy is
a disaster. The Trump White House they're fighting back and
(10:57):
working to fix what they describe as the affordability crisis
and proving that they're making significant progress in this area
after Americans suffered under Biden inflation for years. The White
House Press Secretary of Caroline Levitt pointing out during Thursday's
press briefing just how bad things were, saying, quote, these
(11:18):
gains came after the summer passage of President Trump's historic
tax cuts and multiple big trade deals with countries around
the world. In particular, construction jobs is served by nineteen
thousand September, the largest monthly game in a year. She
also pointed out that most of this growth came from
(11:39):
private sector, and native born citizens are getting these jobs
rather than foreign born workers. This, Levitt pointed out as
the opposite of what we saw under the Biden administration.
She also reminded Americans of this that inflation also remains
under control and wages are up three point eight percent
(12:01):
over the year for American workers because of President Trump's
pro growth policies. In fact, oral wages are at a
pace to increase roughly one thousand, two hundred dollars for
the average worker this year alone under President Donald Trump. Now,
if the economy is in such bad shape, how is
it that wages are going up like this? Now, There's
(12:24):
no doubt that a lot of the money we're making
now is going to goods and services that are high price.
The President also working on that, saying, quote, what we're
doing this is a complete reversal when we saw inflation
skyrocket to nine percent, causing private sector workers to see
their wages decline by approximately three thousand dollars. While Americans
(12:50):
are still suffering the consequences of the four years of
economic disaster the Biden administration. The White House Press Secretary
said Donald Trump is making significant progress to fix this
and he will not stop working until he solves it.
As the President recently stated, he is never satisfied.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
In economic news. This September jobs report showed the American
economy remains strong, with one hundred and nineteen thousand new
jobs added, more than double expectations. These gains came after
the summer passage of President Trump's historic tax cuts and
multiple big trade deals with countries around the world. In particular,
(13:29):
construction jobs surged by nineteen thousand in September, the largest
monthly gain in a year. Nearly all of this solid
monthly job growth came from the private sector and went
to Americans rather than foreign born workers, the opposite of
what we saw under the previous administration. Inflation also remains
(13:50):
under control and wages are up by three point eight
percent over the year for American workers because of President
Trump's pro growth policies. In fact, real wages are on
pace to increase roughly twelve hundred dollars for the average
worker this year under President Trump. This is a complete
reversal of the failed Biden era, when we saw inflation's
(14:11):
skyrocket to nine percent, causing private sector workers to see
their wages decline by approximately three thousand dollars. We know
that Americans are still hurting from the four decade high
inflation caused by Joe Biden and the Democrats, but President
Trump is making significant progress to fix this and he
will not stop working until he solves it. As the
(14:34):
President recently stated, he is never satisfied.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The White House Press Secretary wasn't the only one talking
about the positives and the economy. Vice President j. D
Vance also pointing to the economic realities of Yes, things
are bad in some categories because of what happened over
the last four years, but the Biden administration didn't ruin America,
and Donald Trump is fixing it as fast as he
(14:59):
possible we can. Here's what the Vice president had to
say in a Breitbart News event on Thursday.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
As president, the big news this morning is new jobs
numbers blew away expectation huge from the September numbers, so
these were delayed because of the government shutdown. More than
double one hundred nineteen thousand new jobs. And then also
there's some interesting stuff in the wag wages numbers there
as well. This shows wages on the rise. Your thoughts
on the jobs numbers.
Speaker 4 (15:23):
Okay, so a huge jobs report and I assume the
market is going crazy right now, probably just opened. Because
what this shows is that the Trump economic policies are
actually working, and you've got one hundred nineteen thousand new jobs.
Economists thought that we would have about fifty thousand new jobs,
but that's actually just the headline number. If you look
below the surface, I think the numbers are actually better.
So Number one, wages continue to weigh out pace inflation.
(15:46):
If you go back to the three years of the
Biden administration, the average American worker actually lost about three
thousand dollars of take home pay. In the first ten
months of the Trump economy, we've increased take home pay
by about twelve hundred dollars, adjusting for inflation. And so
that's a huge, huge thing. And this Job's report confirms that.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
So if you go back to the lie being told
by the media that things are terrible, they weren't freaking
out when that workers lost about three thousand dollars of
take home pay under the Biden administration. In the first
ten months of the Trump economy, you've got wage increases,
a take home pay of about one two hundred dollars.
(16:24):
That is a massive forty two one hundred dollars swing. Now,
he also highlighted the private sectors driving this economy growth
and the jobs are going to native born citizens rather
than foreign workers. It's a drastic change from the reality
under the Biden administration. And what happened under the Biden
(16:45):
administration is to the extent that there was any job
growth at all. If you look at the data, JD.
Van said, almost all of the net job creation in
the United States under the Biden administration went to foreign
foreign workers. Now, of course, some of those people are
illegal immigrants in the United States of America, he continued,
(17:06):
but that meant a lot of the job creation was
actually going to legal aliens who shouldn't have been in
our country. Senator Bernie Marino, Republican from Ohio, also pointed
out the fact that the influx of foreign workers imported
by the Biden administration really hurt American workers, and Americans
are remember the damage that was inflicted upon the country
(17:27):
under the Biden administration, and it cannot be undone what
they did to this country in a matter of months,
surging this country with up to twenty million illegal immigrants.
He also urged Republicans to respond with urgency, saying these
realities coincide with the Trump administration celebrating the strides made
in the affordability crisis since Donald Trump took office in January.
(17:51):
That includes falling gas prices which reached record highs under
Joe Biden, as well as dipping mortgage rates, falling inflation,
and boost and take home pay. Those victories do not
even include what the Trump administration has achieved through trade
deals and historic investments secured by the president, all of
(18:14):
which the President has been talking about is steps in
the right direction. What the media should be calling this
is the Trump Effect. Since President Donald Trump returned to office,
it's very clear that his America First economic policies have
sparked trillions of dollars in new investments in US manufacturing, technology,
(18:35):
and infrastructure. Total US and foreign investment is now at
nine trillion dollars. Where's the money coming from? The UAE
putting in foreign investments of one point four trillion into
manufacturing and industry, technology, aerospace as well. Qatar putting one
point two trillion into America again in manufacturing, an industry
(18:58):
sector with technology and manufacturing being the main point. Japan
one trillion into auto plants in US steel, Apple six
hundred billion into technology and manufacturing as well. EU firms
putting in general investment of six hundred billion, Saudi Arabia
putting in six hundred billion and now saying it's going
(19:20):
to go to one trillion dollars again in technology and manufacturing,
Soft Bank, Open AI and Oracle five hundred billion all
AI infrastructure projects, Navidia a half a trillion dollars into
AI infrastructure and supercomputers, India investing a half a billion
(19:41):
and mutual trade expansion South Korea four hundred and fifty
billion US energy products, Micron two hundred billion semiconductor manufacturing
and research and development, IBM one hundred and fifty billion
of growth and manufacturing operations in the US. Pfizer seventy
(20:01):
billion into research, development and capital projects, and Google sixty
eight billion for AI infrastructure, electrician grants, hydro power facilities,
just to name a few. There are countless investments. I
could go on and on with Johnson, Johnson, Astrozenka, Bristol, Meyers, Squibb, Amazon, Hondai, Eli, Lilly.
(20:26):
The list is long. But what did the President do here?
He made it clear if you want to do business
in America, you need to invest in America. You can't
just export or import. You must be a real player
in this country. And that is exactly why the President
has made it possible through his leadership for the USC
(20:46):
a surge of private and foreign investments that are fueling
job growth, innovation, and opportunity across every corner of the country. So,
yet again, the President making good on a promise. Even
the media is trying to tell you that everything's terrible
in America, when the reality is we're moving in the
(21:07):
right direction. With the government shut down finally over. We're
now seeing the carnage of what happened in this country
during the longest government shut down in history. And there's
a very good chance there could be another shutdown coming
in early next year. Why because the radical left has
(21:29):
taken over the Democratic Party, which brings us to a
big takeaway of the government shutdown. And that is the
civil war that is taking place right now. AOC and
the Progressives are now turning on Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi.
It is an unprecedented moment of civil war for the
(21:50):
Democratic Party.
Speaker 5 (21:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Chuck Schumer has been an establishment elitist liberal from New
York for decades. He is now coming under growing fire
after his handling of the recent governments shut down negotiations,
even though he voted against opening the government back up. Now,
in particular, the fact that a bipartison group of eight
(22:13):
Senate Democrats voted to reopen the government without securing key
Democrat demands healthcare substies for Obamacare that's out of control
and unaffordable. That is now the flashpoint for the radical left. Now,
the vote is seen by many progressive Democrats, you know,
the socialists, Communists and Marxists of the Democratic Party and
(22:37):
grassroots groups as capitulation to Republicans and Donald Trump. Many
now say they phil Schumer did not use the leverage
his caucus had, and then his signals are signals of weakness.
AOC publicly now questioning whether Schumer should remain in his
(22:57):
role as leader of the Senate, pointing to broader structural
issues in the Democratic Party. Other House Democrats Rocanna or
she Talib and even state leaders like Gavin Newsom and
Governor of New York Kathyochel have also now voiced discontent
with the extreme leftist Chuck Schumer. You can't make it
(23:21):
up now. Despite the pressure, Schumer has refused to step down,
insisting he made the tough call for the country and
the party.
Speaker 5 (23:31):
Now.
Speaker 1 (23:31):
Several currents are driving this internal revolt. Perceived lack of
a fight is number one. For many Democratic donors and
many younger and more progressive Democrats. The movement demands what well,
aggressive opposition, including violence against Donald Trump and any Republican
that gets in their way. The same people that celebrated
(23:53):
the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and celebrate the literal
assassination of Charlie. Schumer's strategy is being viewed as quote
too cautious or deferential by many of the radical leftists.
Organizational fatigue is another thing that's been quoted by Democratic insiders,
(24:15):
saying the Democratic base is just well frustrated with the
messaging that emphasizes tradition, processing, bipartisanship over radical bold wins.
Schumer's leadership style, they say, is well long overdue, long
tenure institutional relationships, and just not a good framework for
the Marxists and socialists that have taken over the party.
Speaker 6 (24:38):
Now.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
The shutdown fight was a leverage movement, they say, and
many believe that Chuck Schumer and his caucus could have
extracted more from Republicans but quote did not, which means
it's time for him to go. So what is the
status and what is the challenge to Chuck Schumer? Well,
(24:58):
at present, there's no formal motion in the Senate Caucus
to force Schumer to be out. Leadership changes typically come
via internal elections or a caucus vote, and we haven't
seen that yet. Now the pressure is clearly more public
and more signaling of what can come in the days
and weeks ahead. Progressive groups are going to war, and
(25:22):
even some members of Congress are now calling openly for
total new leadership. This as Nancy Pelosi has announced that
she will not seek reelection as well. Schumer's refusal, they
say to step down means well, the default remains him
in the role as leader of the Democratic Party unless
(25:43):
the size of a block of Senate Democrats move to
replace him. The coming months are gonna matter, and the
big question is will Chuck Schumer force a government shutdown
yet again come January. There are many Democrats that are saying,
we're willing to let you go to January, but if
you don't do it again and do a better job,
(26:03):
then we're done with you. And that may be one
of the silver linings of this government shutdown is we
are now witnessing a full blown civil war within the
Democratic Party. AOC by the way, may have been the
only Democratic winner from the government shutdown, raising her name
recognition and making it clear there's a very good chance
(26:27):
she could be the next Senator from New York, going
after Chuck Schumer's seat as well as his leadership role.
And that is what you can take away from the
government shutdown. I also want you to take a listen
to this conversation on Fox and Friends. It goes back
to the point I was making a moment ago, and
(26:49):
that is right now, the Democratic.
Speaker 5 (26:51):
Party is in a civil war.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
And they also didn't get what they claimed they actually
wanted from the government shutdown. Take a listen to how
they described it on Fox.
Speaker 7 (27:04):
One point four million federal workers and we lost fourteen
billion out the economy. One point four million federal workers
going without pay. Besides that, what did the Democrats get
out of it?
Speaker 5 (27:12):
If that was they knew that was going to happen,
and they wanted to do this longer. So I mean,
when you just said King Jeffery is going it's not over.
Speaker 8 (27:20):
Yeah, it's over, but he's doing it for the progressive base.
But my thing is all these federal workers, they're unions
buying large, they support the Democrats, and they're still cheering
for the government to be shut down. At what point
do you pick your family over the party and say
I can't support these guys if they're going to keep
the government shut down. Just to get back at Trump
(27:43):
and say it's causing maximum pain this is the only
leverage that they have. You gotta stop supporting these people AFC.
Speaker 9 (27:49):
She said that this is a coordinated effort between the
Democrats and the Republicans. The ones who voted with the Republicans.
There were eight in the Senate to vote with Republicans,
six in the House that voted with Publicans. And no,
it's just common sense. We want snap benefits to go
to the families that need it. We want you to
get your paycheck if you work for the federal government.
Here's a here are some reactions from AOC and some
(28:12):
of the progressive House members.
Speaker 6 (28:15):
There's no one vote that ended this shutdown. We are
talking about a coordinated effort of eight senators with the
knowledge of Leader Schumer, voting to break with the entire
Democratic Party in exchange for nothing.
Speaker 4 (28:30):
I think we're in an unprecedented moment that you know,
demands that we consider whether or not it's the time
for new leadership.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Do you think the Senate Democrats need a new leader?
Speaker 5 (28:42):
Yes, there to do, but that's not in my hands.
I mean, they've got to have a lot of primaries.
I mean, you have.
Speaker 7 (28:49):
With the Senator the Center from Massachusetts going to be challenged.
We know that for sure, looks like Chuck Schumer is
going to get a challenge. The whole push from these
angry left wing activists is to challenging these guys and
these women. In the primaries, they were somewhat moderate, and
I think that's why maybe Jeene Cheen retired, Gary Peters
is retiring, Dick Durbin's getting older, but he was retiring.
(29:11):
They know they're going to be challenged for more left wing,
more progressive candidates.
Speaker 5 (29:15):
I think it's just bad for the country.
Speaker 8 (29:17):
It was bad for the country, but I think it's
time to finally have this fight of the socialism versus
capitalism fight. I think if we really want to just
put it in his grave on a national level, we
need a strong candidate. Maybe it's JD. Vans and Marco
Rubill being together, whoever decides to win in the primary,
and we need strong Senate candidates to say this is
(29:39):
not American. This is where Seth Moulton, who used to
be considered a modern all because he wants the senencee
and Massachusetts, has turned into this radical lunatic now. And
it's I think it's a temporary solution to get to
the base. But when you run in the general election,
people are going to reject this.
Speaker 9 (29:56):
Well, everyone's wondering what direction does the Democratic Party go.
They're divided who will be their new leader If Chuck Schumer,
if AOC primaries, so will it be AOC.
Speaker 5 (30:06):
She was asked on.
Speaker 9 (30:07):
Whether or not Chuck Schumer should remain the minority leader.
Listen as minority leader.
Speaker 6 (30:14):
I think what is so important for folks to understand
is that this problem is bigger than one person, and
it actually is bigger than the minority leader in the Senate.
And Senate Democrats have selected their leadership to represent them,
and so the question needs to be bigger than just
one person. We have several Senate primaries this cycle. I
(30:39):
know I'm being asked about New York that is years
from now, after mind my own constituents, because they think
that this election is this year. We actually do have
Senate elections this year, and my hope is that people
across this country actually participate in their primary elections in
selecting their leadership. Thank you, really, thank you.
Speaker 8 (30:56):
She's running. No comment is running, No commonis in Okay.
You know, I don't want to say just yet, but
I'm not saying that I'm not wrong.
Speaker 7 (31:06):
It could be the Kamala Harris thing where Kamala Harris says, yea,
I'm not going to run for governor. Off to think
about it, because she wants to run for president. She
might be hedging because she might think that she has
the support to run for president, especially with the Seattle,
you know, the radical Seattle, the whole Enchilada. Yeah, I
think she might see a window. You know, ever since
Chris Christie waited and then missed the window, I think
(31:27):
all these politicians are afraid of missing their window.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
If she sees that window, I think she runs.
Speaker 7 (31:32):
And I think most likely what's gonna happen is it's
going to be a midterm election. Chuck Schrumeroll announced he's
not running for reelection, and I think that would open the.
Speaker 5 (31:40):
Door for she can't.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
This is the civil war happening within the Democratic Party.
And it's not just in New York, it's all over
the country. The Democratic Party is dead. I've been saying
this for a long time on this show. It is
the Marxists, the Socialists and the communists that have taken
over are now calling the shots and they're forcing out
(32:03):
their own leaders who actually gave them a platform at
the very beginning of all of this. Don't forget share
this podcast please with your family and your friends wherever
they are, and I will see you back here tomorrow.
