Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is a miracle, there is no question. And there
are problems in this country between police and community. Yes,
you are a donkey to the latest on that police
killing of a black man.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Now the new developments in the deathly spotshooting rampayes Man.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
Yes, it was a really bad day for him and.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is what he did.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay,
White supremacist violence, it is always have been the number
one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud
that my wife was white. The practice club bitches.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
All right, Henny, please tell me why was I your.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
Donkey of the day. Donkey today for Wednesday, November fifth,
goes the CNN's Van Jones. Now, last night, the Democrats
had a good election night. They won the governor's race
in Jersey, Virginia, they voted for Prop fifty in California.
They retained crucial seats on the Supreme Court. In Pennsylvania House,
Democrats flipped thirteen seats in the Virginia State Legislators. And
(00:58):
of course the mayor oral race in New York City
was won by Zuran Mundanie. And that's why I have
to bring Van Jones to the front of the congregation
this morning because last night Luran gave a speech after
his win in Van Jones thought the speech was divisive.
I thought the opposite. Would you like to hear someone
Mondanni's speech. Let's listen.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Safety and justice will go hand in hand as we
work with police officers to reduce crime and create a
Department of Community Safety that tackles the mental health crisis
and homelessness crises head on. We believe in standing up
for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a
(01:39):
member of the trans community, one of the many black
women that Donald Trumps fired from a federal job, a
single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to
go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall.
Your struggle is ours too, and we will build city
(02:00):
Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does
not waiver in the fight against the scourge of anti Semitism,
where the more than one million Muslims know that they
belong not just in the five boroughs of this city,
but in the halls of power.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
How is any of that divisive? I personally love that
he covered all bases. He talked about working with police.
He talked about, you know, helping people with mental health issues.
He talked about helping the homeless. He talked about trans people,
He talked about black people, black women, Jewish people, the
Muslim community. Most importantly, he spoke to the working class
(02:41):
of all races. Okay, let people know he will be
a mayor for all New Yorkers. But Van Jones didn't
like that. He thought it was divisive. Van Jones had
this to say, let's listen, but I think.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
He missed an opportunity. The Mom Donnie that we saw
in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm,
who was a lot warmer, he was a lot more embracing,
was not present in that speech. And I think that
Mom Donny 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?
Is he going to include me? Is he going is
(03:13):
he going to be more of a class warrior even
in office. I think he missed a camp tonight to
open up and bring more people into the tent. 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. So I felt like it was a
little bit of a character switch here where the warm,
(03:36):
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 that's very, very difficult, and I wouldn't write
him off, but I think he missed an opportunity to
open himself up tonight, and I think that that will
probably cost him going for.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Man shut the ff tevel. Okay, that was no opportunity
missed the man just one, all right?
Speaker 2 (04:01):
He just won.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
After you won, Yes you're gonna celebrate, Yes you're gonna
talk loud. What do you mean he wasn't warm enough.
He took a victory lap, and he deserved to take
a victory lap because he won. I just don't understand
how in the era of Trump, we're still telling people
how to talk. The language of politics is dead and
Donald Trump killed it. And you know when you can
(04:23):
really talk that talk after you win? All right. I
listened to the Ron's whole speech of Zuran's whole speech
because I was trying to figure out what the hell
man could have been possibly talking about. It couldn't have
been the part I just played earlier. So the only
thing I could think of was the rhetoric he had
put a billionaire class in. Donald Trump, Let's listen.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald
Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking
advantage of their tenants. We will put an end to
the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump
to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. New York will
(05:01):
remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants,
powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
So hear me. If we embrace this brave new course,
rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy
(05:25):
and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement
it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation
betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is
the city that gave rise to him.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
There's absolutely nothing divisive about calling out bad landlords who
take advantage of tenants. Okay, there's nothing divisive about calling
out billionaires who are corrupt and don't pay their fair
share taxes. Nothing wrong with calling them out, Okay, an
administration all right, that is trying to implement an authoritarian
strategy on America. There is nothing wrong with calling that out.
There's nothing wrong with calling out capitalism. Okay, there is
(06:02):
nothing divisive about it. There was something Zoran said in
his speech. He said, as has so often occurred, the
billionaire class has sought to convince those making thirty dollars
an hour that their enemies are those earning twenty dollars
an hour. Oh I love that. Okay. See, the reason
a lot of things don't change in this country is
because you don't have enough politicians that are willing to
(06:23):
challenge capitalism. And Zoran is doing that. So how can
Van Jones be mad that someone is challenging capitalism and
authoritarian strategy? Well, I need someone way smarter than me
to answer that question, Maddie. Why would Van Jones calls
Iran Mundani's speech divisive? Why would people say this was
an angry far left, rage filled victory speech.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Very hard for me to get inside of Van Jones's head,
but I would remind people the van Jones in twenty
seventeen is the guy who gave us the most famous
line of the fest Trump administrats. Rememberhen Trump gave that
speech in Congress. Van Jones want to see it and
said tonight he became in the United States. So Van
Jones thinks that Donald Trump gives unifying speeches to make
him president, but thinks Zoron Mumdani, who's united a multi racial, multicultural,
(07:08):
multi income coalition is divisive. That tells you more about
Van Jones than it does tell you about Zoron Mumdani.
I mean, Jared Kushna's pale wasn't a fan of Zoron
Mumdani's anti Oligaki, anti Trump speech.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I'm shocked. Please give Van Jones the biggest he huh.
And when we come back, we're gonna talk to Matty
Hushas some more. That's right about everything that happened last
night and all things going on in the world of politics.
That's right. So don't go anywhere as the breakfast club.
Good Morning Donkey Today is sponsored by renowned personal injury
attorney Michael the Bull Lamb is soft. Don't be a

with the Bull, you get the haunts. Hold every day

Speaker 4 (07:56):
You don't finish that.
