Speaker 1 (00:00):
After all, the conventional wisdom would tell you that I
am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite
my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I am a.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Democratic socialist, certain and most damning of all, I refuse
to apologize for any of this.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
He was bold, he was brash, and he was spiking
the footballs or on Mamdani, the Kami ma'mdani Democratic Socialists
of America. That is just window dressing. What we heard
last night, in this victory speech from him was full
on communism, Marxism, the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat. He quoted
(00:54):
several notable historical Marxist socialists, including right here in this country.
Make no mistake, he did not shy away from it.
He did not try to moderate his message, he did
not try to temper it, he did not try to
water it down.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
He was on.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Full display for all to see it. We'll get to
some of the reaction to this coming up throughout today's program,
but first I want you to hear from him zoron
Mundani himself. Draw your own conclusions, make your own judgments,
but I'm here to tell you this is the very
opposite a libertarianism of limited government of the people determining
(01:37):
their own outcomes. No, this is government determined outcomes. This
is centralized power making decisions for you because you don't,
you know, are too weak and stupid to make up
your own minds and decide for yourselves. So government's going
to step in and do it for you. This nanny
state of government that Ronald Reagan WARDI is about that
(01:58):
Rush Limbaugh warned us about. It's here, and it's in
New York City, and they voted for it, and they
deserve it. The tax base that Zoron Mundani hopes to build,
this entire socialist experiment upon is going to crumble under
the weight of.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Itself and it will leave. They will depart, They.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Will flee for free states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee. They
will not put up with this burden that Zoron Mumdanni
is about to place upon them. In all the power
that he can muster as the mayor of New York City.
Now he can't enact everything, but he can sure make
it a hostile environment for any would be job creator
(02:38):
to invest, to relocate to New York City, to build,
to hire. There will be no incentive for that. In fact,
there will be a massive disincentive to do those things
because this is what he said last night Again, folks,
he is not running from it. He is running toward it.
He is embracing it. You're getting all of Zora Mundani.
(02:59):
If anything, he was cloak and daggering his way through
this campaign, so you didn't know how much of a
socialist he actually was because he needed to hide it,
he needed it to conceal it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Just listen to this.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
We will prove that there is no problem too large
for government to solve and no concern too small for
it to care about.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That should be a chilling statement for every person who
loves freedom who hears it. No problem too large for
government to solve, and no problem too small for government.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
To care about. Why are we putting government in the
middle of all these things?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's all about this philosophy that is tried and true,
and you can argue it to the beginnings of time
when the Democratic Republican Party established themselves, which.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Was if you can go back all the way to
the FDR.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Administration and the boondoggle albatross social experience programs that he
ruled out in the new Deal, including social Security? Is
that a solvent program? Is that an efficient program? Is
that a program that you believe in? Because me, as
(04:14):
a gen Xer, I think it's about fifty to fifty,
and it might be south of that.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I might be too pollyanna about.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
This could be gone by the time I collect on it,
and that's only fourteen years away. No problem too large
for government to solve, No problem too small for government
to care about. From each according to his ability, to each,
according to his need.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That is the central tenet of Marxism. It's a far cry.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
From Ronaldus Maximus and these famous words that he uttered.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I think you all know that I've always felt the
nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm
from the government and I'm here to help.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yes, And it rings true today just as it did
back then. President Reagan was the closest thing that we've
ever had to a libertarian president on that very premise,
right there, get the government out of our lives, allow
business to create, to innovate, to hire, to develop, to invent.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Clear the way.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm not saying I'm off the rails here like total anarchists.
No government, no regulations, I mean, that's not me but
the libertarian and me wants guard rails. You have to,
you know, play in the sandbox. You have to operate
within some agreed upon rules. But from there have at it. Compete,
get in the arena and compete. Come up with a
(05:41):
better mouse trap, develop more convenient human effects that allow
people to live their lives more comfortably, more easily. When
you constrict that, when you restrict that, when you put
it within the convent of massive government regulation and red tape,
(06:03):
you thwart it, you stifle it, you snuff it out.
Here's Ronald Reagan circa nineteen seventies, two of the greatest
men of all time in the twentieth century, in my opinion,
Johnny Carson interviewing him on the Tonight Show. Now, Johnny
actually asked a pretty pointed question here, I just listened to.
(06:24):
This is Reagan before he was president. How the fortieth
president answers this?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And they all seem to have different answers as to
what is going wrong in the country. Some people say, well,
let's let the government spend billions of dollars, and then
some other people say, no, no more of federal spending.
Let's give the tax rebase, and the other intelligent people say,
no tax, rebase, We've got to do this and do that.
So everybody is confused. How do you see the thing?
How are we going to get out of this?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, it's funny.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I think one of the things is that people keep
looking at government for the answer, and government's the problem. Yes,
you a moment ago, you asked, you know about people
and feeling not only confused, but low and down in
American First of all, the American people, if they would
just take a little inventory and look around, you triple
(07:12):
our troubles and we're better off than any other people
on earth. And we've asked so much of government, and
we've gotten in the habit of over the last forty
years of thinking that government.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Has the answers.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
There's very little that government can do as efficiently in
this economically as the people can do themselves. And if
government would shut the doors and sneak away for about
three weeks, we'd never miss them.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
How precient were those words then back in the seventies.
Government has shut down their doors over these last many weeks,
and the royal ing, the rinkling, the negotiating, the back
and forth, the politicking, does that do any good for
the American people.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, of course it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And the more reliant we are on government for our
goods and services, our way of life are funding, the
more problems we are going to have, like we are
having right now.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Reagan was exactly right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Ronald Reagan ushered in an era of unprecedented and unparalleled success,
a time to thrive in the United States of America,
a time to be proud of the United States of America,
a time when life here were halcionic days that we
reflect upon to this day because of what his policies
(08:23):
enabled when enacted, and what we have in New York
City today is the anti Ronald Reagan. Zoron Mundani. If
there was a photo negative of Ronald Reagan, it would
be Zoron Mundani. In every conceivable way. He does not
believe in America. He does not believe America is a
(08:44):
force for good. He does not believe in the power
and the possibility of America, the dream of America. He
views it as a hurdle and as a curse and
as a yoke to be worn around one's neck that
we must be freed from. And I'll say this lightly,
but this is what he said last night. Go back
and watch the entire speech yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It is so.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Dystopian, dark, full of despair, grievance, blaming, finger pointing. He
goes into some detail here and makes it all about
Donald Trump. Now, make no mistake quick analysis of last
night's results, which were horrifying for those of us who
(09:29):
are right of center, but they are very much explainable.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Donald Trump was on the ballot, but not in the.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Way that we're accustomed to when he actually literally is
on the ballot and he pulls together a coalition people
that vote for Trump but nothing else.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They don't show up for any other election. They don't
fill out their ballot.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
They don't have a motivation to do so because they
are inspired by Trump and Trump alone. There are a
lot of those voters out there, folks. I'm not one
of them. I vote for Donald Trump. I've supported him
three times in presidential elections, but I also vote in
the off your elections in the midterm elections.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
A lot of Trump supporters do not.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But I'll tell you this, the people who hate Donald Trump,
they are just as motivated, if not more so, in
these off your elections and the midterm elections to show
up and stick it to Trump. Trump Ism, his policies,
his personality, all of it. They sell that hatred that
vitriol left does and there are many who buy.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It and they vote because of it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And that is what happened last night, and Mandannie he
knew it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump, betrayed,
how to defeat him, it is the city that gave
rise to him. And if there is any way to
terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions
that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only
(10:58):
how we stopped Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Donald Trump, in many ways saved New York City. Look
up the history of it. His investment in the city
that he loved, his creation of jobs, his building of properties,
his contributions to the economy. Donald Trump was a massive
figure in the late seventies, throughout the eighties into the
nineties in the revitalization of New York City and keeping
(11:29):
the city open for business. Donald trump signature is on
that city and its success was not in spite of him,
it was largely because of him. How many jobs has
Zora Mumdani ever created in his life. Let's go one
step further. How many jobs has this clown ever worked
(11:53):
in his life? The over under zero point five. I
don't know that this guy has ever had he held
a job, answered to a boss, collected a paycheck. You
know what he is. He's a Nepo baby. His mom
is a Bollywood producer. His parents are extremely wealthy. They
(12:14):
are the very bourgeoisie that he rails against.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
This guy is a charlatan.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He is selling snake oil and New York City bought
it last night.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
He was a rapper, don't you know?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He was a hip hop artist trying to make a
go of it because he had that level of comfort
in his life and the liberal guilt attached to it,
knowing that he was a fraud, that he was not real. Sorry, mom,
Donnie is a creation. He's a fabrication. He's a false prophet.
(12:51):
And I'll say any of this again lightly. But let's
go back to his speech from last night.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So, Donald Trump, since I know you're.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I have four words for you. Turn the volume up now.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I think that might be a shot at the seventy
nine year old president's age.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then he goes into the devil of the details.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Emphasis on devil because this is pure Marxism, hate the rich.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald
Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Of their tenants.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
We will put an end to the culture of corruption
that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and
exploit tax breaks. We will stand alongside unions and expand
labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does,
(13:59):
that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who
seek to extort them become very small.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Indeed, the vitriol, the venom, the outright hatred for job creators.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Here's the point, Zoron.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If you don't have a friendly, welcoming business environment where those, yes,
billionaires create jobs. I'm sorry to break that to you,
but the local mom pas shops aren't going to produce
enough jobs for all of New York City, Manhattan and
otherwise the economic capital of the world.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
But for how much longer that sound you here?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Wh those are the job creators hearing that and looking
as fast as they can for land in Florida to
reinvest in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
He is openly hostile to.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Those who would create jobs and hire people in that city,
because he labels them as.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Bosses, like.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Old bosses that aren't looking to exploit our workers here.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
They don't have any rights, and they talk just like that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
In Zorn's mind, they're abusive, they're hostile, they treat their
employees like indentured servants.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And he wasn't done. He wasn't even close to done.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
New York will remain a city of immigrants.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That's fine city built by immigrants, Okay, powered by immigrants,
and as.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump,
when I say this, to get to any of us,
you will have to get.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Through all of us.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Nobody, including President Trump and especially yours, truly is saying
anything disparaging about immigrants, legal immigrants who come here wanting
to have a better life, to become Americans, to live
the American dream, to contribute to the American dream, to
be productive members of society, to embrace and immerse themselves
in our culture, our customs, our way of life, our values.
(16:12):
What we are talking about, Zoron, are those who would
come here illegally and skirt our laws and jump the border.
And jump the line. And why would they do so?
Why are they here illegally? And why are so many
collecting government benefits in perpetuity Because they are not here
to set up shop, to anchor themselves, to make a
(16:34):
better life for themselves. And when I say that, I
mean have agency in that, not just coming here with
their hands out and expecting something with nothing given in return.
No hard work, no production of products, no creation of jobs.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Of course, we love those kinds of immigrants.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And of course New York City is a melting pot
built by immigrants, legal immigrants, he continues.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
More than one million Muslims know that they belong not
just in the five boroughs of this city, but in
the halls of power. No more will New York be
a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Win an election.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Fear and loathing, hatred, division, darkness, dystopia.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
That is all we heard last night.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Not one time did he speak to the greatness of
New York City, the magnitude of the job ahead of him,
the humility that he feels and being hired to do
this job. The mention of those who may not have
voted for him, but who he now represents, none of that.
It was look at me, notice me, listen to my
(17:51):
grievances on behalf of these Muslim people. And if you
disagree with us, you're Islamophobic, don't you know. Didn't take long,
But the very next day today he's asking for money.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Because New Yorkers deserve a government they can trust. On
January first, I will be your mayor, New Year's Day
and a new era for this city. Oh and one
more thing, I told you a few months ago, to
stop sending us money. You can start again. This transition
requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can meet this moment.
And it will be made possible by the people who
(18:23):
built and believe in this moment. So I hope we'll
make a donation at transition.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Let's get to work, Oh boy, selling the drama, selling
the dream. A charlatan never stops asking for money, the
scam artist that he is, still with his hand out
asking for money.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
New York City.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Has immersed itself in the darkness. But we could see
this coming. And on this Wednesday, reprising our segment, remembering
Rush as he points to Ronald Reagan, the antithesis of
all that you just heard, who believed in the greatness
of America for all of its citizens. A time out
back with that in your text by seven seven nine
after this Ryan shuling.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Live Our purpose here today, ladies and gentlemen, is tribute.
(19:48):
Pay a tribute to Ronald Reagan, who has been maligned
and impugned, criticized, assaulted, and attacked by liberals. It goes
on to this day the effort to write a visionist
history about the nineteen eighties, the record of his presidency.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I'm forty five years old.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
My historical perspective starting from the date of my birth
is pretty small compared to the history of the nation.
But from what I have experience and from what I've
learned in history, I have to rank Ronald Reagan as
one of the greatest presidents of all time and certainly
of my lifetime. He was so effective, so effusively optimistic,
(20:30):
that he to this day spawns criticism that I believe
is born of a personal dislike and in some cases hatred.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
The reason for this is quite.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Simply the fact that what Ronald Reagan wanted to do
and succeeded for the most part in doing, worked tremendously.
He demonstrated that it is the American people working together
as individuals that makes this country great. Ronald Reagan demonstrated
that all you have to do is unshackle the American people,
to let them exercise the freedom that is the natural yearning,
(21:02):
God given of the human being, and that nobody can
stop them.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And as long as there are oppressed.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Peoples around the world, America will remain a beacon of
hope to those who seek freedom. Now, if you have
a lot of freedom, and if you remove shackles that
are placed there by a government which seeks to make
individuals dependent, you're going to be an enemy. You're going
to be a target for those who attempt to take
over the running of other people's lives. That's how they
(21:30):
derive their power, the liberals. That's how they derive their
sense of self esteem. They create a situation where people
are dumbed down, and that enables liberals to look out
over the American countryside and see a bunch of idiots
and a bunch of people who can't help themselves, a
bunch of incompetence who need assistance and guidance to every
step of their lives. Hence, liberals say we know better
(21:53):
than they about what is best for them. That was
not Reagan. Reagan says, you know better than anybody else
what's better for you, and you'll do better for yourself
if people just get out of your way. We want
to pay tribute to him tonight and give illustrations of
the things that I have just said. And as we
go through this, pay special attention to how optimistic, how upbeat,
(22:15):
and how congenial President Reagan was and is despite these assaults,
despite the unending attacks. Bill Clinton thinks he has it tough.
People have forgotten what Ronald Reagan went through in the
nineteen eighties and continues to go through today, and yet
he remains unchanged and undaunted. He remains optimistic, remained optimistic
and upbeat.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It didn't change him.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
And believe me, folks, that is quite a testament.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It certainly is the great Maha Rushi from nineteen ninety six,
reflecting upon the life and times and legacy of the
Great or on oldest Maximus Ronald Reagan on his eighty
fifth birthday, a much younger version of Rush Limbaugh there,
but the message still rings true about the optimism and
hope of an America and coincidentally, if not ironically, Barack
(23:04):
Obama was selling this, remember that back in two thousand
and eight, Hope and change, Hope and change, but not
in the Red States, no Blue states, just the United States.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Where did that go? How did we get from there?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Two thousand and eight, Barack Obama unifying the country, defeating
Hillary Clinton, heavily favored by the way in that primary,
becoming the President of the United States, a historical figure,
no matter how you feel about him, Barack Obama is that.
And yet we descended into this division. And be very
careful when you look back on that time to recognize
(23:40):
exactly what began that divide. And it was Barack Obama himself.
And I watched unfold before our very eyes, this grievance
culture emerge more and more. And what you heard from
Rush right there, hits it right on the head. Democrats
need us to be in disarray. The left needs you
(24:00):
to be miserable, to feel powerless, that you need them
to come in, riding in to save the day. I'm
from the government and I'm here to help those The
terrifying words the President Reagan spoke of are true. When
you feel powerless, you were going to be desperate in
seeking a remedy to that powerlessness. What Zora Mundani painted
(24:24):
that Picasso like dystopian picture from last night. America's an
oppressive country, the boss of chewing on cigars and ripping
off their workers.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
And that's the ethos of this country.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
If America is so terrible, Zoron, why are people literally
dying to come here?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Why aren't they fleeing in the other direction?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Why aren't they going to these other socialist and communist countries. Hey,
I want to go to Venezuela. I want to live
under Maduro. That sounds great. Nobody says that. Nobody does that.
Why are they coming here? It's not because you are
espousing the very same themes, philosophies, tenets of these communist
(25:11):
dictators like Maduro, like Castro, like Jijinping, like Kim Jong un,
government control over our lives. We will make your lives better. No,
you will not, And we know that from history. It
doesn't work, It has never worked, and it will never work.
But just this time, give Zoran the keys to the
car and he won't drive it over the cliff.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
You believe in that, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And last night you had two people who are pretty
highly respected on CNN Differing Political Views that I thought
it was fascinating. Van Jones knew exactly what we were seeing,
and he paints it right here, albeit in softer.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Tones than yours truly has. But he knew it and
he said it. But I think he missed an opportunity.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
I think the Mom Donny that we saw in the
campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was
a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was
not present in that speech. And I think that Mom
Donnie is the one you need to hear from tonight.
There are a lot of people trying to figure out
can I get on this train with him or not?
(26:19):
Is he going to include me? Is he going is
he going to be more of a class warrior even
in office. I think he missed a chance tonight to
open up and bring more people into the tent.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I think its tone was sharp.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
I think he was using the microphone in a way
that he was almost yelling. And that's not the Mom
Donning that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews
and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So I felt like it was a little bit.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Of a character switch here where the warm open embracing
guy that's close to working people was not on stage night,
and there was some other voice on stage that said,
he's very young and he just pulled off something very,
very difficult, and I wouldn't write him off, but I
think he missed an opportunity to open himself up tonight,
(27:05):
and I think that that will probably cost him going.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
For He's right, but I don't think Van Jones understands
why he's right, because what we saw last night, that's
the real Mamdanni. The falseness of the campaign, the TikTok videos,
everything else, the compassion and the smile. They were even
making fun of that on Saturday Night Live. That was
a fraud. Gern Mundani was arrogant last night, not humble.
(27:29):
He was spiking the football. He felt vindicated last night
and he was going to let everybody know about it.
He was not magnanimous, he was not gracious. He did
not want to bring other people in who disagreed with them. Van,
that's not the point.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
He won.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
He got north of fifty percent of the vote and
he feels emboldened and empowered to do exactly what he wants,
which is an act, a Marxist agenda. For New York
City and Scott Jennings, no surprise, explain it about as
well as anybody else can.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Right here, Scott, Oh, are.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
You saying he didn't. He wasn't the unifying voice of
a generation that you predicted mere moments ago. I acts,
where was the Where was the man that you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Predicted would not slice and dice the dealer?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Look, guys.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
He started his speech by quoting Eugene Debs, who ran
for President of the United States five times as the
Socialist Party of America candidate. He repeatedly attacked, I know
my socialists.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I keep it close. So here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
He went after. Everybody that he thinks is a problem.
People who own things, people.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Who have businesses.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
He said an interesting quote, no problem too large for
government to solve.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Or too small important.
Speaker 9 (28:52):
And so when when you think of the world that way,
that every problem, no matter how small or how large.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Is something for government to do. Ooh, let me just
decipher this for you. Tax increases as far.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
As the eye can see, which means the people who
need to provide jobs to the young people that you
say need jobs are going to flee as quickly as
they possibly can. I think this was a divisive speech
m hm. And he clearly sees the world in terms
of the people who are oppressing you and the oppressed,
and he said the oppressed are now in city Hall.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
You can look up Zoron's own tweets on these various subjects.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
He is against private property ownership.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
He wants to make most lands owned by the government
leased by the government, government housing government property. He wants
to make government run grocery stores, which have been an
unmitigated disaster wherever they've been tried, including the Soviet Union
and in Kansas City not that long ago for some reason,
and that failed. He wants to drive out privately owned
(29:56):
grocery stores.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
He wants to put as much.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
In the pub public sector is possible, to consolidate power
from a centralized basis within his mayor's office and within
the centralized offices of the government of the United States.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
What are you to have? His way?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
This is a dark day for New York City and
really the entire United States. So we'll get in New
yor texts in response to this when we come back
to wrap up hour number one.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Send them along five seven seventy three nine. This is
Ryan Schuling.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
Live New York City beer hometown mom, Donnie won you.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
Endorse him the last possible moment.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Right as early voting was starting.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
What does this now tell you his overwhelming win?
Speaker 9 (30:44):
What does this now tell you about what your party
is about?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
H Well in New York City.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Of course, I congratulate Zoran and he ran a campaign
relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis that the people
in New York City are experiencing. He did that in
the primary, and he stayed on message throughout the general election,
and now has incumbent upon everyone in New York City,
those that supported the next mayor, the mayor elect and
(31:11):
those that didn't, to make sure that he's as successful
as he can possibly be on all the things, including
perhaps the most importantly, affordability, and on the issue of
public safety.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh my goodness, he's going to be even worse on
that one. Public safety. Affordability. He wants to institute rent controls,
how well of those worked anywhere else in the country
or the world for that matter, punishing those who would
be landlords.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
He said it right in his speech, So it's not
going to.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Be more accessible to rent or own a home in
New York City and Manhattan Queens wherever you want to go.
And on public safety. This is a guy Zora Mundani,
who was behind the defund the police movement, full throttle,
full throated, wants to send social workers out to scenes
instead of police officers when might not be safe, and
(32:01):
wants to leave it up to get this nine to
one one operators to make that decision life or death
in the moment. To delegate that to that they're not
trained for that. You send police and they make that decision.
They're properly trained to handle those, not some social working arounds.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Just create a my shirt like no.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Tax by seven seventy three nine Ryan, I love it
when you play rush.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
He is still so relevant.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yes, he is timeless as a matter of fact, ironically,
says this texter. There is no difference between Mumdani and
Vladimir Putin, and the Democrats still voted for him. Yeah,
Putin is pretty much uh Soviet Union reducks. I think
I would call it that, you know, KGB thug running
his country that way through the thumb of the Iron Curtain,
(32:50):
that kind of power he'd like to reacquire. I'm sure
all those Eastern European territories if he had the.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Ability to do so.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Ryan, I'm surprised Mumdani didn't include from the River to
the Sea in his money request.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
He is very anti Israel.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He is an anti Zionist, and you could argue that
he is anti Semitic.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
He said it in the past.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
He tried to tone that part of it down in
his campaign pitches. We'll see where it goes from here. Ryan,
you are on fire today. I know I'm feeling it.
I know you are too. I agree with what you're
saying about Mamdani. Also, I know you have Serbian roots.
My son married a woman from Serbia. I bet she's gorgeous,
(33:32):
and they have a new baby boy. They live here
in Denver, and she's here legally learning so much about
the Serbian culture. We'll enjoy because we like to party.
Make sure you get some shleeve of eats toast to
the new baby boy.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
And they got to be so cute. Pitch his cheeks.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Ryan, Well, it's probably not too late for escape to
New York to become an actual reality. A lot of
those memes out there on the interwebs today, a Soviet
era dictatorship has come to New Moscow City.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
What else did you expect when Mondani was elected?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, well that's what's happening, and they're going to find
it out good and hard. Brian, Are we looking at
the Republic in the rearview mirror? Stephen Lyttleton. I would
hate to think so. And I still want to hold
on to that Ronald Reagan vision for America that's based
on light and hope and the positivity and the promise
that we offer not only to ourselves but to the world,
(34:23):
and that that still is available to anybody who wants
to live that dream. We'll get into the nitty gritty,
the details, the analysis. Dick Wattens will join us next.
Also Senator Barb Kirkmeyer an hour two stick in State
toryan Schuling Live
After all, the conventional wisdom would tell you that I
am far from the perfect candidate. I am young, despite
my best efforts to grow older. I am Muslim.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I am a.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Democratic socialist, certain and most damning of all, I refuse
to apologize for any of this.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
He was bold, he was brash, and he was spiking
the footballs or on Mamdani, the Kami ma'mdani Democratic Socialists
of America. That is just window dressing. What we heard
last night, in this victory speech from him was full
on communism, Marxism, the bourgeoisie versus the proletariat. He quoted
(00:54):
several notable historical Marxist socialists, including right here in this country.
Make no mistake, he did not shy away from it.
He did not try to moderate his message, he did
not try to temper it, he did not try to
water it down.
Speaker 3 (01:11):
He was on.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Full display for all to see it. We'll get to
some of the reaction to this coming up throughout today's program,
but first I want you to hear from him zoron
Mundani himself. Draw your own conclusions, make your own judgments,
but I'm here to tell you this is the very
opposite a libertarianism of limited government of the people determining
(01:37):
their own outcomes. No, this is government determined outcomes. This
is centralized power making decisions for you because you don't,
you know, are too weak and stupid to make up
your own minds and decide for yourselves. So government's going
to step in and do it for you. This nanny
state of government that Ronald Reagan WARDI is about that
(01:58):
Rush Limbaugh warned us about. It's here, and it's in
New York City, and they voted for it, and they
deserve it. The tax base that Zoron Mundani hopes to build,
this entire socialist experiment upon is going to crumble under
the weight of.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
Itself and it will leave. They will depart, They.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Will flee for free states like Florida, Texas, Tennessee. They
will not put up with this burden that Zoron Mumdanni
is about to place upon them. In all the power
that he can muster as the mayor of New York City.
Now he can't enact everything, but he can sure make
it a hostile environment for any would be job creator
(02:38):
to invest, to relocate to New York City, to build,
to hire. There will be no incentive for that. In fact,
there will be a massive disincentive to do those things
because this is what he said last night Again, folks,
he is not running from it. He is running toward it.
He is embracing it. You're getting all of Zora Mundani.
(02:59):
If anything, he was cloak and daggering his way through
this campaign, so you didn't know how much of a
socialist he actually was because he needed to hide it,
he needed it to conceal it.
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Just listen to this.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
We will prove that there is no problem too large
for government to solve and no concern too small for
it to care about.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
That should be a chilling statement for every person who
loves freedom who hears it. No problem too large for
government to solve, and no problem too small for government.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
To care about. Why are we putting government in the
middle of all these things?
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Now?
Speaker 2 (03:41):
It's all about this philosophy that is tried and true,
and you can argue it to the beginnings of time
when the Democratic Republican Party established themselves, which.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Was if you can go back all the way to
the FDR.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Administration and the boondoggle albatross social experience programs that he
ruled out in the new Deal, including social Security? Is
that a solvent program? Is that an efficient program? Is
that a program that you believe in? Because me, as
(04:14):
a gen Xer, I think it's about fifty to fifty,
and it might be south of that.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I might be too pollyanna about.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
This could be gone by the time I collect on it,
and that's only fourteen years away. No problem too large
for government to solve, No problem too small for government
to care about. From each according to his ability, to each,
according to his need.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
That is the central tenet of Marxism. It's a far cry.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
From Ronaldus Maximus and these famous words that he uttered.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
I think you all know that I've always felt the
nine most terrifying words in the English language are I'm
from the government and I'm here to help.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Yes, And it rings true today just as it did
back then. President Reagan was the closest thing that we've
ever had to a libertarian president on that very premise,
right there, get the government out of our lives, allow
business to create, to innovate, to hire, to develop, to invent.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Clear the way.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
I'm not saying I'm off the rails here like total anarchists.
No government, no regulations, I mean, that's not me but
the libertarian and me wants guard rails. You have to,
you know, play in the sandbox. You have to operate
within some agreed upon rules. But from there have at it. Compete,
get in the arena and compete. Come up with a
(05:41):
better mouse trap, develop more convenient human effects that allow
people to live their lives more comfortably, more easily. When
you constrict that, when you restrict that, when you put
it within the convent of massive government regulation and red tape,
(06:03):
you thwart it, you stifle it, you snuff it out.
Here's Ronald Reagan circa nineteen seventies, two of the greatest
men of all time in the twentieth century, in my opinion,
Johnny Carson interviewing him on the Tonight Show. Now, Johnny
actually asked a pretty pointed question here, I just listened to.
(06:24):
This is Reagan before he was president. How the fortieth
president answers this?
Speaker 4 (06:29):
And they all seem to have different answers as to
what is going wrong in the country. Some people say, well,
let's let the government spend billions of dollars, and then
some other people say, no, no more of federal spending.
Let's give the tax rebase, and the other intelligent people say,
no tax, rebase, We've got to do this and do that.
So everybody is confused. How do you see the thing?
How are we going to get out of this?
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Well, it's funny.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
I think one of the things is that people keep
looking at government for the answer, and government's the problem. Yes,
you a moment ago, you asked, you know about people
and feeling not only confused, but low and down in
American First of all, the American people, if they would
just take a little inventory and look around, you triple
(07:12):
our troubles and we're better off than any other people
on earth. And we've asked so much of government, and
we've gotten in the habit of over the last forty
years of thinking that government.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
Has the answers.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
There's very little that government can do as efficiently in
this economically as the people can do themselves. And if
government would shut the doors and sneak away for about
three weeks, we'd never miss them.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
How precient were those words then back in the seventies.
Government has shut down their doors over these last many weeks,
and the royal ing, the rinkling, the negotiating, the back
and forth, the politicking, does that do any good for
the American people.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
No, of course it doesn't.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
And the more reliant we are on government for our
goods and services, our way of life are funding, the
more problems we are going to have, like we are
having right now.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Reagan was exactly right.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Ronald Reagan ushered in an era of unprecedented and unparalleled success,
a time to thrive in the United States of America,
a time to be proud of the United States of America,
a time when life here were halcionic days that we
reflect upon to this day because of what his policies
(08:23):
enabled when enacted, and what we have in New York
City today is the anti Ronald Reagan. Zoron Mundani. If
there was a photo negative of Ronald Reagan, it would
be Zoron Mundani. In every conceivable way. He does not
believe in America. He does not believe America is a
(08:44):
force for good. He does not believe in the power
and the possibility of America, the dream of America. He
views it as a hurdle and as a curse and
as a yoke to be worn around one's neck that
we must be freed from. And I'll say this lightly,
but this is what he said last night. Go back
and watch the entire speech yourself.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
It is so.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Dystopian, dark, full of despair, grievance, blaming, finger pointing. He
goes into some detail here and makes it all about
Donald Trump. Now, make no mistake quick analysis of last
night's results, which were horrifying for those of us who
(09:29):
are right of center, but they are very much explainable.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Donald Trump was on the ballot, but not in the.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Way that we're accustomed to when he actually literally is
on the ballot and he pulls together a coalition people
that vote for Trump but nothing else.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
They don't show up for any other election. They don't
fill out their ballot.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
They don't have a motivation to do so because they
are inspired by Trump and Trump alone. There are a
lot of those voters out there, folks. I'm not one
of them. I vote for Donald Trump. I've supported him
three times in presidential elections, but I also vote in
the off your elections in the midterm elections.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
A lot of Trump supporters do not.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
But I'll tell you this, the people who hate Donald Trump,
they are just as motivated, if not more so, in
these off your elections and the midterm elections to show
up and stick it to Trump. Trump Ism, his policies,
his personality, all of it. They sell that hatred that
vitriol left does and there are many who buy.
Speaker 3 (10:25):
It and they vote because of it.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
And that is what happened last night, and Mandannie he
knew it.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
If anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump, betrayed,
how to defeat him, it is the city that gave
rise to him. And if there is any way to
terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions
that allowed him to accumulate power. This is not only
(10:58):
how we stopped Trump, it's how we stop the next one.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Donald Trump, in many ways saved New York City. Look
up the history of it. His investment in the city
that he loved, his creation of jobs, his building of properties,
his contributions to the economy. Donald Trump was a massive
figure in the late seventies, throughout the eighties into the
nineties in the revitalization of New York City and keeping
(11:29):
the city open for business. Donald trump signature is on
that city and its success was not in spite of him,
it was largely because of him. How many jobs has
Zora Mumdani ever created in his life. Let's go one
step further. How many jobs has this clown ever worked
(11:53):
in his life? The over under zero point five. I
don't know that this guy has ever had he held
a job, answered to a boss, collected a paycheck. You
know what he is. He's a Nepo baby. His mom
is a Bollywood producer. His parents are extremely wealthy. They
(12:14):
are the very bourgeoisie that he rails against.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
This guy is a charlatan.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
He is selling snake oil and New York City bought
it last night.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
He was a rapper, don't you know?
Speaker 2 (12:30):
He was a hip hop artist trying to make a
go of it because he had that level of comfort
in his life and the liberal guilt attached to it,
knowing that he was a fraud, that he was not real. Sorry, mom,
Donnie is a creation. He's a fabrication. He's a false prophet.
(12:51):
And I'll say any of this again lightly. But let's
go back to his speech from last night.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
So, Donald Trump, since I know you're.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
I have four words for you. Turn the volume up now.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
I think that might be a shot at the seventy
nine year old president's age.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
But then he goes into the devil of the details.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
Emphasis on devil because this is pure Marxism, hate the rich.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald
Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Of their tenants.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
We will put an end to the culture of corruption
that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and
exploit tax breaks. We will stand alongside unions and expand
labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does,
(13:59):
that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who
seek to extort them become very small.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Indeed, the vitriol, the venom, the outright hatred for job creators.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Here's the point, Zoron.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
If you don't have a friendly, welcoming business environment where those, yes,
billionaires create jobs. I'm sorry to break that to you,
but the local mom pas shops aren't going to produce
enough jobs for all of New York City, Manhattan and
otherwise the economic capital of the world.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
But for how much longer that sound you here?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Wh those are the job creators hearing that and looking
as fast as they can for land in Florida to
reinvest in Miami and Fort Lauderdale.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
He is openly hostile to.
Speaker 2 (14:53):
Those who would create jobs and hire people in that city,
because he labels them as.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Bosses, like.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
Old bosses that aren't looking to exploit our workers here.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
They don't have any rights, and they talk just like that.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
In Zorn's mind, they're abusive, they're hostile, they treat their
employees like indentured servants.
Speaker 3 (15:14):
And he wasn't done. He wasn't even close to done.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
New York will remain a city of immigrants.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
That's fine city built by immigrants, Okay, powered by immigrants,
and as.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Of tonight, led by an immigrant. So hear me, President Trump,
when I say this, to get to any of us,
you will have to get.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
Through all of us.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Nobody, including President Trump and especially yours, truly is saying
anything disparaging about immigrants, legal immigrants who come here wanting
to have a better life, to become Americans, to live
the American dream, to contribute to the American dream, to
be productive members of society, to embrace and immerse themselves
in our culture, our customs, our way of life, our values.
(16:12):
What we are talking about, Zoron, are those who would
come here illegally and skirt our laws and jump the border.
And jump the line. And why would they do so?
Why are they here illegally? And why are so many
collecting government benefits in perpetuity Because they are not here
to set up shop, to anchor themselves, to make a
(16:34):
better life for themselves. And when I say that, I
mean have agency in that, not just coming here with
their hands out and expecting something with nothing given in return.
No hard work, no production of products, no creation of jobs.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
Of course, we love those kinds of immigrants.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
And of course New York City is a melting pot
built by immigrants, legal immigrants, he continues.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
More than one million Muslims know that they belong not
just in the five boroughs of this city, but in
the halls of power. No more will New York be
a city where you can traffic in Islamophobia and.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Win an election.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Fear and loathing, hatred, division, darkness, dystopia.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
That is all we heard last night.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Not one time did he speak to the greatness of
New York City, the magnitude of the job ahead of him,
the humility that he feels and being hired to do
this job. The mention of those who may not have
voted for him, but who he now represents, none of that.
It was look at me, notice me, listen to my
(17:51):
grievances on behalf of these Muslim people. And if you
disagree with us, you're Islamophobic, don't you know. Didn't take long,
But the very next day today he's asking for money.
Speaker 6 (18:02):
Because New Yorkers deserve a government they can trust. On
January first, I will be your mayor, New Year's Day
and a new era for this city. Oh and one
more thing, I told you a few months ago, to
stop sending us money. You can start again. This transition
requires staff, research, and an infrastructure that can meet this moment.
And it will be made possible by the people who
(18:23):
built and believe in this moment. So I hope we'll
make a donation at transition.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
There it is.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Let's get to work, Oh boy, selling the drama, selling
the dream. A charlatan never stops asking for money, the
scam artist that he is, still with his hand out
asking for money.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
New York City.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Has immersed itself in the darkness. But we could see
this coming. And on this Wednesday, reprising our segment, remembering
Rush as he points to Ronald Reagan, the antithesis of
all that you just heard, who believed in the greatness
of America for all of its citizens. A time out
back with that in your text by seven seven nine
after this Ryan shuling.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
Live Our purpose here today, ladies and gentlemen, is tribute.
(19:48):
Pay a tribute to Ronald Reagan, who has been maligned
and impugned, criticized, assaulted, and attacked by liberals. It goes
on to this day the effort to write a visionist
history about the nineteen eighties, the record of his presidency.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
I'm forty five years old.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
My historical perspective starting from the date of my birth
is pretty small compared to the history of the nation.
But from what I have experience and from what I've
learned in history, I have to rank Ronald Reagan as
one of the greatest presidents of all time and certainly
of my lifetime. He was so effective, so effusively optimistic,
(20:30):
that he to this day spawns criticism that I believe
is born of a personal dislike and in some cases hatred.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
The reason for this is quite.
Speaker 7 (20:39):
Simply the fact that what Ronald Reagan wanted to do
and succeeded for the most part in doing, worked tremendously.
He demonstrated that it is the American people working together
as individuals that makes this country great. Ronald Reagan demonstrated
that all you have to do is unshackle the American people,
to let them exercise the freedom that is the natural yearning,
(21:02):
God given of the human being, and that nobody can
stop them.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
And as long as there are oppressed.
Speaker 7 (21:09):
Peoples around the world, America will remain a beacon of
hope to those who seek freedom. Now, if you have
a lot of freedom, and if you remove shackles that
are placed there by a government which seeks to make
individuals dependent, you're going to be an enemy. You're going
to be a target for those who attempt to take
over the running of other people's lives. That's how they
(21:30):
derive their power, the liberals. That's how they derive their
sense of self esteem. They create a situation where people
are dumbed down, and that enables liberals to look out
over the American countryside and see a bunch of idiots
and a bunch of people who can't help themselves, a
bunch of incompetence who need assistance and guidance to every
step of their lives. Hence, liberals say we know better
(21:53):
than they about what is best for them. That was
not Reagan. Reagan says, you know better than anybody else
what's better for you, and you'll do better for yourself
if people just get out of your way. We want
to pay tribute to him tonight and give illustrations of
the things that I have just said. And as we
go through this, pay special attention to how optimistic, how upbeat,
(22:15):
and how congenial President Reagan was and is despite these assaults,
despite the unending attacks. Bill Clinton thinks he has it tough.
People have forgotten what Ronald Reagan went through in the
nineteen eighties and continues to go through today, and yet
he remains unchanged and undaunted. He remains optimistic, remained optimistic
and upbeat.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
It didn't change him.
Speaker 7 (22:37):
And believe me, folks, that is quite a testament.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
It certainly is the great Maha Rushi from nineteen ninety six,
reflecting upon the life and times and legacy of the
Great or on oldest Maximus Ronald Reagan on his eighty
fifth birthday, a much younger version of Rush Limbaugh there,
but the message still rings true about the optimism and
hope of an America and coincidentally, if not ironically, Barack
(23:04):
Obama was selling this, remember that back in two thousand
and eight, Hope and change, Hope and change, but not
in the Red States, no Blue states, just the United States.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
Where did that go? How did we get from there?
Speaker 2 (23:18):
Two thousand and eight, Barack Obama unifying the country, defeating
Hillary Clinton, heavily favored by the way in that primary,
becoming the President of the United States, a historical figure,
no matter how you feel about him, Barack Obama is that.
And yet we descended into this division. And be very
careful when you look back on that time to recognize
(23:40):
exactly what began that divide. And it was Barack Obama himself.
And I watched unfold before our very eyes, this grievance
culture emerge more and more. And what you heard from
Rush right there, hits it right on the head. Democrats
need us to be in disarray. The left needs you
(24:00):
to be miserable, to feel powerless, that you need them
to come in, riding in to save the day. I'm
from the government and I'm here to help those The
terrifying words the President Reagan spoke of are true. When
you feel powerless, you were going to be desperate in
seeking a remedy to that powerlessness. What Zora Mundani painted
(24:24):
that Picasso like dystopian picture from last night. America's an
oppressive country, the boss of chewing on cigars and ripping
off their workers.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
And that's the ethos of this country.
Speaker 2 (24:39):
If America is so terrible, Zoron, why are people literally
dying to come here?
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Why aren't they fleeing in the other direction?
Speaker 2 (24:50):
Why aren't they going to these other socialist and communist countries. Hey,
I want to go to Venezuela. I want to live
under Maduro. That sounds great. Nobody says that. Nobody does that.
Why are they coming here? It's not because you are
espousing the very same themes, philosophies, tenets of these communist
(25:11):
dictators like Maduro, like Castro, like Jijinping, like Kim Jong un,
government control over our lives. We will make your lives better. No,
you will not, And we know that from history. It
doesn't work, It has never worked, and it will never work.
But just this time, give Zoran the keys to the
car and he won't drive it over the cliff.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
You believe in that, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:37):
And last night you had two people who are pretty
highly respected on CNN Differing Political Views that I thought
it was fascinating. Van Jones knew exactly what we were seeing,
and he paints it right here, albeit in softer.
Speaker 3 (25:51):
Tones than yours truly has. But he knew it and
he said it. But I think he missed an opportunity.
Speaker 8 (25:59):
I think the Mom Donny that we saw in the
campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was
a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was
not present in that speech. And I think that Mom
Donnie is the one you need to hear from tonight.
There are a lot of people trying to figure out
can I get on this train with him or not?
(26:19):
Is he going to include me? Is he going is
he going to be more of a class warrior even
in office. I think he missed a chance tonight to
open up and bring more people into the tent.
Speaker 3 (26:31):
I think its tone was sharp.
Speaker 8 (26:34):
I think he was using the microphone in a way
that he was almost yelling. And that's not the Mom
Donning that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews
and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
So I felt like it was a little bit.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Of a character switch here where the warm open embracing
guy that's close to working people was not on stage night,
and there was some other voice on stage that said,
he's very young and he just pulled off something very,
very difficult, and I wouldn't write him off, but I
think he missed an opportunity to open himself up tonight,
(27:05):
and I think that that will probably cost him going.
Speaker 2 (27:07):
For He's right, but I don't think Van Jones understands
why he's right, because what we saw last night, that's
the real Mamdanni. The falseness of the campaign, the TikTok videos,
everything else, the compassion and the smile. They were even
making fun of that on Saturday Night Live. That was
a fraud. Gern Mundani was arrogant last night, not humble.
(27:29):
He was spiking the football. He felt vindicated last night
and he was going to let everybody know about it.
He was not magnanimous, he was not gracious. He did
not want to bring other people in who disagreed with them. Van,
that's not the point.
Speaker 3 (27:42):
He won.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
He got north of fifty percent of the vote and
he feels emboldened and empowered to do exactly what he wants,
which is an act, a Marxist agenda. For New York
City and Scott Jennings, no surprise, explain it about as
well as anybody else can.
Speaker 3 (27:58):
Right here, Scott, Oh, are.
Speaker 9 (28:01):
You saying he didn't. He wasn't the unifying voice of
a generation that you predicted mere moments ago. I acts,
where was the Where was the man that you.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
Predicted would not slice and dice the dealer?
Speaker 3 (28:13):
Look, guys.
Speaker 9 (28:13):
He started his speech by quoting Eugene Debs, who ran
for President of the United States five times as the
Socialist Party of America candidate. He repeatedly attacked, I know
my socialists.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
I keep it close. So here's the thing.
Speaker 9 (28:36):
He went after. Everybody that he thinks is a problem.
People who own things, people.
Speaker 3 (28:43):
Who have businesses.
Speaker 9 (28:45):
He said an interesting quote, no problem too large for
government to solve.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Or too small important.
Speaker 9 (28:52):
And so when when you think of the world that way,
that every problem, no matter how small or how large.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Is something for government to do. Ooh, let me just
decipher this for you. Tax increases as far.
Speaker 9 (29:06):
As the eye can see, which means the people who
need to provide jobs to the young people that you
say need jobs are going to flee as quickly as
they possibly can. I think this was a divisive speech
m hm. And he clearly sees the world in terms
of the people who are oppressing you and the oppressed,
and he said the oppressed are now in city Hall.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
You can look up Zoron's own tweets on these various subjects.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
He is against private property ownership.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
He wants to make most lands owned by the government
leased by the government, government housing government property. He wants
to make government run grocery stores, which have been an
unmitigated disaster wherever they've been tried, including the Soviet Union
and in Kansas City not that long ago for some reason,
and that failed. He wants to drive out privately owned
(29:56):
grocery stores.
Speaker 3 (29:58):
He wants to put as much.
Speaker 2 (29:59):
In the pub public sector is possible, to consolidate power
from a centralized basis within his mayor's office and within
the centralized offices of the government of the United States.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
What are you to have? His way?
Speaker 2 (30:13):
This is a dark day for New York City and
really the entire United States. So we'll get in New
yor texts in response to this when we come back
to wrap up hour number one.
Speaker 3 (30:22):
Send them along five seven seventy three nine. This is
Ryan Schuling.
Speaker 9 (30:26):
Live New York City beer hometown mom, Donnie won you.
Speaker 10 (30:35):
Endorse him the last possible moment.
Speaker 9 (30:38):
Right as early voting was starting.
Speaker 3 (30:41):
What does this now tell you his overwhelming win?
Speaker 9 (30:44):
What does this now tell you about what your party
is about?
Speaker 3 (30:48):
H Well in New York City.
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Of course, I congratulate Zoran and he ran a campaign
relentlessly focused on addressing the affordability crisis that the people
in New York City are experiencing. He did that in
the primary, and he stayed on message throughout the general election,
and now has incumbent upon everyone in New York City,
those that supported the next mayor, the mayor elect and
(31:11):
those that didn't, to make sure that he's as successful
as he can possibly be on all the things, including
perhaps the most importantly, affordability, and on the issue of
public safety.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
Oh my goodness, he's going to be even worse on
that one. Public safety. Affordability. He wants to institute rent controls,
how well of those worked anywhere else in the country
or the world for that matter, punishing those who would
be landlords.
Speaker 3 (31:34):
He said it right in his speech, So it's not
going to.
Speaker 2 (31:38):
Be more accessible to rent or own a home in
New York City and Manhattan Queens wherever you want to go.
And on public safety. This is a guy Zora Mundani,
who was behind the defund the police movement, full throttle,
full throated, wants to send social workers out to scenes
instead of police officers when might not be safe, and
(32:01):
wants to leave it up to get this nine to
one one operators to make that decision life or death
in the moment. To delegate that to that they're not
trained for that. You send police and they make that decision.
They're properly trained to handle those, not some social working arounds.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Just create a my shirt like no.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Tax by seven seventy three nine Ryan, I love it
when you play rush.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
He is still so relevant.
Speaker 2 (32:28):
Yes, he is timeless as a matter of fact, ironically,
says this texter. There is no difference between Mumdani and
Vladimir Putin, and the Democrats still voted for him. Yeah,
Putin is pretty much uh Soviet Union reducks. I think
I would call it that, you know, KGB thug running
his country that way through the thumb of the Iron Curtain,
(32:50):
that kind of power he'd like to reacquire. I'm sure
all those Eastern European territories if he had the.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
Ability to do so.
Speaker 2 (32:58):
Ryan, I'm surprised Mumdani didn't include from the River to
the Sea in his money request.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
He is very anti Israel.
Speaker 2 (33:06):
He is an anti Zionist, and you could argue that
he is anti Semitic.
Speaker 3 (33:11):
He said it in the past.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
He tried to tone that part of it down in
his campaign pitches. We'll see where it goes from here. Ryan,
you are on fire today. I know I'm feeling it.
I know you are too. I agree with what you're
saying about Mamdani. Also, I know you have Serbian roots.
My son married a woman from Serbia. I bet she's gorgeous,
(33:32):
and they have a new baby boy. They live here
in Denver, and she's here legally learning so much about
the Serbian culture. We'll enjoy because we like to party.
Make sure you get some shleeve of eats toast to
the new baby boy.
Speaker 3 (33:44):
And they got to be so cute. Pitch his cheeks.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
Ryan, Well, it's probably not too late for escape to
New York to become an actual reality. A lot of
those memes out there on the interwebs today, a Soviet
era dictatorship has come to New Moscow City.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
What else did you expect when Mondani was elected?
Speaker 2 (34:02):
Yeah, well that's what's happening, and they're going to find
it out good and hard. Brian, Are we looking at
the Republic in the rearview mirror? Stephen Lyttleton. I would
hate to think so. And I still want to hold
on to that Ronald Reagan vision for America that's based
on light and hope and the positivity and the promise
that we offer not only to ourselves but to the world,
(34:23):
and that that still is available to anybody who wants
to live that dream. We'll get into the nitty gritty,
the details, the analysis. Dick Wattens will join us next.
Also Senator Barb Kirkmeyer an hour two stick in State

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
