Speaker 1 (00:00):
Thanks to all of you for being one of us.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Write down are toll free telephone number if you want
to be a part of the program. Why don't we
dip in? The President now is taking questions in the
Oval office. Linda, what do you think we'll dip in?
Let's see what the president has to say right now?
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And I said, you have almost one hundred percent of
the chips are made in Taiwan. It's it's so disgraceful.
The good news is it's all coming back yet.
Speaker 4 (00:25):
Please thank mister President.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
I wanted to just follow up on Venezuela. In these
talks with Maduro.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Is there anything that he could say.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
Or do that would let allow you to feel like
he could stay with your support. Is there anything that
he could say that you would be okay, you can stay.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
It's hard to say that, you know. The question is
a little bit tricky. I don't think it was meant
to be tricky. It's just said, look, he's done tremendous
damage to our country, primarily because of drugs, but really
because we have that problem with other country is too
but more than any of the country, the release of
prisoners into our country has been a disaster. He's emptied
(01:07):
his deals. Others have done that also. He has not
been good to the United States. So we'll see what
happens at a certain period of time. I'll be talking
to him.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Follow up.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
You mentioned your voice and you were shouting about trade.
Which country in particular.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
A country you wanted to try and renegotiate the terms
of their trade deal?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
And I wasn't happy about what country?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
People want to know.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Why would I say that to you? I can't believe it.
There's a president, a wor cup. If you would Seattle
and the World Cup.
Speaker 7 (01:44):
The new mayor elect of Seattle is a democratic socialist.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Seattle has more beyond I watched her. That's more than socialist.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Seattle has six World Cup games.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
How close are you going to be watching that city
with the crime in the city.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Well, if we think, and I'll have to speak to
Johnny about this, but if we think that the mayor
of la is incompetent, everybody knows that. You know that
I was there, I guess two years ago. And we
get all the federal permits taken care of, far more
complex than the state permits and the city permits. And
Leez Elden, who's a superstar. I got everything taken care
(02:21):
of the toughest part, you know, having to do with
the fires that should have never happened. If they let
the war to come in, it wouldn't have happened. Right,
do you know that people aren't building their houses yet?
I mean, can you imagine that? And if we didn't
go in early on Christy, I think we can say
it well, the head of their police department said it,
(02:42):
they were unable to handle.
Speaker 4 (02:43):
You would have had not only did you.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Have the fires, but you would have had total insurrection
in Los Angeles. And if we didn't go in, and
the head of you know, the gentleman, he said it,
and he said it strongly, said we could not have
done it without the federal government. We did a great job.
If we think there's going to be a sign of
any trouble, I would ask Johnny to move that to
(03:06):
a different city. We have a lot of cities and
would love to have at number one, and we'll do
it very safely. So if we think there's a problem
in Seattle, where you have a very very liberal slash
communist mayor, I would say, you know, certainly beyond just liberal.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
I watched her over the weekend. Well, I said, another beauty.
We got there.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
But if we think there's going to be a problem,
we'll Johnny can I say, we will move. I don't
think you're going to have this problem, but we're going
to move the event to someplace where it's going to
be appreciated and safe. Yeah.
Speaker 8 (03:37):
I think safety and security is the number one priority
for a successful World Cup. We can see today that
people have trust in the United States when we see
at the tickets, ticket sales we sold, I mean record
breaking figures of tickets, almost two million already sold out
(03:59):
of two million that you've been saying. This is because
people they know that they will be coming here and
they will experience a safe and secure world. This is
the responsibility, of course, of the government, of the Secretary,
norm of everyone. And obviously we will I mean we
(04:19):
will discuss. We are working together. We have a task
force for this, and we must ensure that all fans
coming from road or being here they can experience a
celebration of coming together of the sport. And this goes
only with one percent safety.
Speaker 9 (04:40):
We are we are communicating with all these mayors about
what their responsibilities are. They know the safety and security
of these events is their number one responsibility and will
be there. The President's always there to keep Americans safe,
but he also make sure the people that know their
responsibilities and that they're prepared to host these events and
(05:00):
do so in a safe manner.
Speaker 7 (05:01):
There was some use this morning from an axu's report
that Senator Ted Cruz was laying the groundwork for a
potential twenty twenty eight presidential run.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Can I get your reaction to would you?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
Could you see yourself supporting?
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Well, he is a friend of mine.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
I mean, you know, I haven't spoken to him about
it's literally it's three and a quarter years. It's a
long time. But he's a very good guy. He's a
very good friend of mine. You remember we had quite
a campaign against Ted and it worked out quite nicely.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
We'll see where are But I'm not that surprised.
Speaker 10 (05:41):
That this was on the on the tariff exemptions you
had some recently on a variety of different goods. I'm wondering,
are you ruling out going for no more exemptions on
products you're mentioning a disagreement.
Speaker 4 (05:56):
I'm to take it.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
In hundreds of millions of dollars in tariff money, we're
going to be issuing dividends later on somewhere prior to
you know, probably in the middle of next year, a
little bit later than that of thousands of dollars for
individuals of moderate income, middle income. We're going to pay
down debt. You know, we have a lot of money
(06:17):
from tariffs. If we didn't have tariff's station, we'd be
in serious trouble. And we've taken in tremendous amounts of money.
And you know what's more important than that, we've protected
our businesses from being raided, like we did with the
chip business.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Now we're bringing them all back.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
But you know, we had one hundred percent of the
chip industry and then they left. They went mostly to
Taiwan and South Korea, but mostly Taiwan, and they have
almost one hundred percent, and we're going to have within
a short period of time a big percentage of the
chip business. They're coming back because of tariffs, because they
don't want to pay the tariffs, because the tariffs will
be very steep if they don't come back, and they're
(06:56):
all they've committed to come back, as you probably heard
at Apple is now up to seven hundred billion dollars.
We have Navidia six hundred billion dollars. We have tremendous
amounts of money pouring it. Our country has become amazing
again and really really rich again. I will say this,
(07:18):
we have a decision we're waiting for. It's a very
big decision. The numbers that we've taken in if you
talk about investments, is trillions, not with a B, not
within m millions, but trillions of dollars. I can't imagine
having to give that money back on something that we're
(07:40):
allowed to do.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
And the ones that.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
Are finding us are countries largely, they're back in countries
that have been ripping ourselves for years, using tariffs to
rip us off, and now we're able to defend ourselves.
It really is a matter of national security, because economic
security is national security. So I think you're going to
see another thing happening. I think you'll see food prices.
(08:04):
They've come down very substantially since since bike, but I
think you're going to see food prices coming down very
substance in Arabia.
Speaker 6 (08:12):
Tomorrow, you're hosting Saudi Arabia. Are you planning to sell
at thirty five to Saudi Arabia? And also are you
looking at doing a similar security agreement like you did
with Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
No am planning. They want to buy you'd a great ally.
They've got to like us very much. Look at the
Iran situation, what we did in terms of obliterating you
know there we obliterated their nuclear capability. Yeah, I will
say that we will be doing that. We'll be selling
F thirty five.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Ye, something that you posts on a true social Last night,
you've urged House Republicans to vote in favor of this
Epstein release bill they're going to vote on tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I just want to be super clear at your position.
Do you want to see that past the Senate?
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Would you sign that bill if it gets to your desk?
Speaker 3 (08:58):
I do want to. Here's what I want. We have
nothing to do with Epstein. The Democrats to all of
his friends were Democrats. You look at this Redhoff and
you look at Larry Summers Biltlin. They went to his
island all the time, many others or all Democrats. All
I want is I want for people to recognize a
(09:19):
great job that I've done on pricing, on affordability, because
we've brought prices way down, but they go way lower
on energy, on ending eight wars and another one coming
pretty soon. I believe we've done a great job, and
I hate to see that deflect from the great job
(09:39):
we've done, so I'm all for it.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
You know, we've already given fifty thousand pages. You do
know that.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Unfortunately, like with the Kennedy situation, with the Martin Luther
King situation, not to put Jeffrey Epstein in the same category.
But no matter what we gave, it's never enough.
Speaker 6 (09:57):
You know.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
With Kennedy, we gave everything, and it was enough. With
Martin Luther King, we gave everything, and it's never enough.
We've already given I believe the number is fifty thousand pages.
Fifty thousand pages, and it's just a Russia Russia Russia
hoax as it pertains to the Republicans. Now, I believe
(10:18):
that many of the people that some of the people
that we mentioned are being looked at very seriously for
their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, but they were with them
all the time.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
I wasn't at all, and we'll see what happens.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
What I just don't want Epstein to do is detract
from the great success of the Republican Party, including the
fact that the Democrats are totally blamed for the shutdown.
You know, they cost our country hundreds of billions of
dollars with it at a lot of inconvenience. So I'm
for any They can do whatever they want, so we'll
(10:57):
give them everything. Sure, I would let the state look
at it, let anybody look at it, but don't talk
about it too much, because honestly, I don't want to
take it away from us.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
It's really a Democrat problem.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
The Democrats were Epstein's friends, all of them, and it's
a hoax. The whole thing is a hoax, and I
don't want to take it away from really the greatness
of what the Republican Party has accomplished over the last
period of time.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Shutdown is now over. I'm in administration officials had said
when the shutdown ends they'll re evaluate the farmer relief
now we have the deal with China. So is the
administration still looking to dish out farmer relief now that
the government is act we want to.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
I'm always going to help our farmers.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Are you still looking to do I would do that, Yeah,
if they need relief, will be there for We're going
to always be for our farmers.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
Yeah, please, are the best.
Speaker 5 (11:54):
I just speaking of the economic impacts of FIFA and
possibly moving to another some games. If you feel it's crime,
Is there like a timeline that you would do that,
because these cities, there's sponsorships, there's economic impact for these conditions.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Sure, is there one?
Speaker 3 (12:09):
You know, the governors are going to have to behave,
the mayors are going to have to behave. You know,
in the case of California, you have a problem. You
have high crime, and you have a place that just
suffered great fires and everything else, and they didn't do
a very good job. And if we didn't go in
from the crime standpoint, you would have had a disaster.
It would have been it was not going to be
(12:31):
handled properly. It wasn't able to be. The head of
the police said without as I said, without the federal government,
they could not.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Have done it. So here's the story. I love Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
If they want help during this, I would love to
send in National Guard or whoever's necessary to help them.
I want it to be great. I'd love it to
be in Los Angeles. I love the place. It's a
natural for Los Angeles. If we think there's going to
be crime, if we are obstructed by the governor and
maybe he won't obstruct, maybe it'll be great, but I'd
(13:04):
love him for him to call and say, you know,
we'd like to have some extra up because if there's
even a hint of a problem, we want to get
in there before the problem occurs. We want to make
it totally safe for Johnny and FIFA and all the
great people that are going to be there.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
And I think that's going to happen.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I would be honored to help California if they're going
to have a problem, And if they think they're gonna
have a problem, they should say so we can be
in there in twenty four hours notice and do a
great job.
Speaker 5 (13:35):
But that is to bring over a year by the
end of.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
The year, by the end of the first Well, I
think this if they would tell us, if they would
tell us now, they're not going to have a problem,
because if we go in, they don't have a problem.
Speaker 4 (13:46):
Look at DC.
Speaker 3 (13:46):
There's no crime in DC anymore, and DC was a mess.
If they want us to go in, I'd like them
to tell us right now. But if we go in,
there would be no problem. There would be no crime.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
What's the message meant to like? Low businesses all right.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
For stations along the Sean Hannity Show radio network. The
President has a gaggle. It's in the Oval Office in
the White House. We are going to continue our coverage.
I know some stations along our network are going to
be taking a break before stations that want to stay
with us.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
We will continue our coverage.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
It's okay with me. Whatever we have to do to
stop drugs Mexico is Look. I looked at Mexico City
over the weekend. There some big problems over there. If
we had to, would we do there what we've done
to the waterways? You know, there's almost no drugs coming
into our waterways anymore, isn't it down like eighty five percent?
(14:40):
I don't know who the fifteen percent?
Speaker 4 (14:43):
It wouldn't be you, No, that's for sure. No, I
should think it's been tons and tons. You would say
that's a big signal.
Speaker 3 (14:50):
Absolutely, we have almost no drugs coming into our country
by the sea, by you know, the waterways. And you
know why, Okay, it's pretty of is would I do
that on the land cars?
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I would look, every boat we.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Knock out, we save twenty five thousand American lives. Not
to mention the destruction of families. These families are decimated forever.
The mother, the father, the children. They never recover really
from it. You know, when you lose somebody like the
way they live any if you lose them, but the
way they die is horrible. So when we knock out
(15:30):
about it, we save twenty five thousand lives. That's great.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
Now.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
Do I feel the same way about the corridors that
they use. We know every one of them. We have
every one of those carters under major surveillance. We have
nobody coming in through our southern border, but we know
exactly how they get their things here, how they get.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
The drugs here. A fentan all cocaine.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
Columbia has cocaine factories where they make cocaine.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
I knock out those factories. I would be proud to
do it Personally.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
I didn't say I'm doing it, but I would be
proud to do it because we're going to save millions
of lives by doing it. Would you actually do it
with Mexico's Commission Lone, I wouldn't answer that question.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
I've been speaking to Mexico. They know how I stand.
Speaker 3 (16:20):
We're losing hundreds of thousands of people to drugs. So
now we've stopped the waterways, but we know every route.
We know every route, we know the addresses of every
drug lord.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
We know their.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Address, we know their front door, we know everything about
every one of them. They're killing our people. That's like
a war. Would I do it. I'd be proud to it.
Probably go into Congress and say hey, and you know what,
the Democrats and the Republicans would both agree unless they're crazy,
and they are a little crazy on the Democrat side.
Speaker 4 (16:54):
But we have lost hundreds of thousands of peace.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Willieve your death. And that's not talking about family destruction.
That's talking about that. And much of it comes through Mexico.
So let me just put it this way. I am
not happy with Mexico. Okay, thank you very much.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
All Right, that's the President of the Oval Office with
an impromptu press conference. Later you're going to be talking
about affordability. And also we're getting ready this week the
Saudi uh leader MBS the Crown Prince will be at
the White House for high level talks aimed at deepening
economic and defense ties. I know a lot of this
(17:41):
is probably going to be One thing on this on
this part is that the idea that all of these
Arab nations for all of these decades have been totally
completely unwilling to ever try to be a part of
the solution with the conflict with Israel, and many of
(18:02):
them at different times have had their own conflicts with Israel.
All of this really went away when Donald Trump took
out Iran's nuclear facilities because they all feared Iranian hegemony
in the region and a nuclear Mnoran themselves. It wasn't
just Israel that saw that was part of this existential threat.
(18:23):
If you think the Iranians when you get into the
Shiasuni battle, if you don't think that there is great
animosity between those two countries, you don't understand their history
the idea and Jordan felt the same way. That's why
Trump was able to create a coalition going back into
his first term of intelligence sharing that I didn't think
(18:43):
we'd ever see in our lifetime. Now it's at a
whole other level that culminated in this first term with
the Abraham Accords. And would not be surprised at some
point that these other countries joined in the Abraham Accords,
including the Saudis as well. For those people that are
suspicious of you know countries too many of these countries
have been in the middle too, many of them have
(19:06):
played both sides. Too many of them have It's you know,
at some point you've got to have moral clarity. But
if they are true to their belief and their commitment.
And remember a lot of these countries too have their
own problems. I mean General Ossisi has the Muslim Brotherhood
in Egypt, there's the own issue of radicalization in Jordan.
(19:28):
King Hussein is dealing with, and the Saudis and Wahabbism
and so on and so forth. There has been a
purging of a lot of radicalism that's taking place. But
do they still have Is there great trepidation, fear, intimidation
by the threat of radicalism in all these cases?
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Absolutely?
Speaker 2 (19:49):
Do all of these leaders live in fear of, you know,
waking up the next day.
Speaker 1 (19:54):
Absolutely.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
So.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
It's very historic times in so many different way and
the whole world is changing too. I've got to get
into this whole, this mindset and believe it or not.
I think the most insightful comments came from Bill Maher.
We'll get into that coming up in the course of
the program today. I want to do remind people that
if you can, you want a Jase emergency medical case
(20:19):
for you and your family, and that would include, you know,
emergency medications at your house on hand if that God
forbid moment comes.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
Now.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
There are particular times of the year where emergency rooms, frankly,
especially over holiday weekends, are just overwhelmed because there's a
shortage of staff because everybody wants to be on vacation
around the holidays.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
A B.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Then you usually have the third fourth tier medical care
because the best doctors are are off of the holidays,
and it's it is such a blessing and such a
peace of mind to know that you have Jase emergency
medications available, emergency medications right there at your house if
(21:02):
God forbid you need them, and then you worry about
you whether or not your pharmacy is open on a
particular day, or whether or not you can get in
touch with your own doctor on a particular day. They
will provide all these emergency medications. You'll have them on hand.
Tend prescription antibiotics. It's the most affordable, the most secure
way to get these essentials and up to a twelve
month supply of your daily prescription medications you can get
(21:25):
from Jay's medical as well. They'll send it right to
your house. I mean again, it's like, you know, the
new world that we're all living in. It's simple, get
your own family emergency medical case. It's the Jason emergency
medical case. Go to Jasee dot com ja se dot com.
If you put in the promo code Hannity, you get
twenty five dollars off on your orders. That simple and
(21:49):
is that convenient and that easy? We've got now it
is an emerging mindset of stupidity. There is actually the
belief that the future of the Democratic Party is going
to be rooted in the likes of Mamdani. Why do
I tell you what's going on in New York, Haakim
(22:10):
Jeffries is going to be primari by a Mamdani disciple
and acolyte. People are thinking what's happened in Seattle and
New York City is going to be duplicated around the country.
Kathy Hlkel, the governor of New York, now changing all
of her positions because she desperately wants Mumdani's support.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
And we'll tell you about the AOC factor as well.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
Draining the swamp one a corrupt politician at a time.
Speaker 4 (23:00):
This is the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
At twenty five now till the top of the hour,
eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn our number. You
want to be a part of the program, Listen. We've
got so much to get to, unbelievable. I want to play.
I want to start with Bill Maher on his show
on Friday talking about mom Donnie and socialism. I was surprised, actually,
(23:30):
I know Mar made a lot of comments and a
lot of criticisms, but this is so dead on accurate
to hear from him.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
I mean, there are some Democrats that have some basic
common sense. I mean, there's nothing he says here I
disagree with.
Speaker 11 (23:47):
Democrats must recognize that Zorn mom Donnie is the future
of the party. Unfortunately it's the Republican Party. We've run
this experiment many times and the results are always obvious.
In nineteen ninety Venezuela was wealthier than Poland, but then
Poland finally free of Soviet style economics when all in
(24:08):
on capitalism, and now their economy is as big as
Japan and people there have high wages, low inflation, cars, vacations, homes. Meanwhile,
Venezuela traded capitalism for Hugo Chavez's socialism for the twenty
first century, which turned out to be, like socialism in
the last century or any century, a full mess. It
(24:32):
turned one of Latin America's richest countries into one of
its poorest. Low wages, high inflation, shortages, outages, eight million
people fleeing.
Speaker 4 (24:41):
If you think New York.
Speaker 11 (24:43):
Can somehow reinvent this wheel, you're in for a rude awokening.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I mean it is. It is just spectacular. What are
you saying here?
Speaker 2 (24:54):
By the way, I want to remind you in Ukraine,
by the way, and you know a lot of issues
of corruption was alone came out this weekend, none of
which are surprising to me. But it's sad. But anyway,
you know, you have you know, the Jewish population there.
You even have Holocaust survivors. For example, what's her name, Galina?
(25:18):
A ninety six year old Holocaust survivor. He spent her
life in the same village. That's where she's lived. He's
sick and alone. It's cold, it's bitterly cold, and every
day she's got to decide, Oh, the little money she has,
does she spend it on food?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
Medication or heating.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
Now because of the IFCJ, they've done such a phenomenal
job with your generosity, you know, you can bring hope
to those people in need. For twenty five bucks, you
can provide a food box pack full of life saving
essentials that are going to help feed people that are
starving to death. I mean, this is the result of
two wars on two continents that Donald Trump is now
trying to bring an end to. And it's complicated and
(25:56):
not easy. And you know, the lack of moral clarity
amongst some is on repulsive to me. But that's a
separate issue for another day. Whatever you can do to
help people in need as they fight for their survival
against radical Islamis, give him a call to the IFCJ.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
We have proudly partnered with them.

It's Hannity for the Fellowship dot org. That's Hannity for
the Fellowship dot org. All right, let me give you
a quick rundown. What is it that Bill Maher is
saying here? Linda were surprised by Bill Barnes comments. I'm
(26:32):
not surprised not as much anymore.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
He's he's really you know what, he's kind of middle
of the road. He hates everybody equally, which I really appreciate. Well,
that's kind of where you're coming from. You had everybody equally.
That's why I like it.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
Okay, But but his history of socialism's you know, dead
on accurate. What he's saying about Poland is accurate. What
he's saying about Latin America and Venezuela went from you know,
Venezuela was one of the richest countries on Earth and
now they've gone onto you know, millions fleeing it, low wages,
high inflation, shortages. Member of jor Hey Ramos went there,
and I mean it was just pathetic that, you know,
(27:09):
people were rummaging through garbage, uh, you know, just to
get bare necessity in food. The intramural battle among Democrats
is getting worse. Rocana Sunday detailing White's time for Chucky
Schumer to come. We just learned that Mayor elect Zoran
Kami Marxis mamdani Is will need a top level security
(27:32):
clearance from the federal government before he takes office. Whether
President Trump's administration grants it will be I don't know.
That's going to be an interesting test. The President said, sure,
I'll talk to him at some point, but that doesn't
mean he's going to get a security clearance. I don't
know if you can support the global antifada and not
condemn it and not have some scrutiny as to that.
But here's what's happening. And Mamdani, by the way, claimed
(27:55):
on the campaign Trailly no longer wants to defund the police,
but a lefty political strategist has now been tapped to
oversee the transition team is an impassioned supporter of the
anti cop movement. Alina Leopold, executive director of an all
female transition team, was among more than two hundred and
thirty past and president staffers of then Mayor Comrade Bill
(28:19):
Deblasio who signed on June twenty twenty an open letter
to de Blasio demanding radical change on criminal justice policies,
especially the NYPD. We are demanding the Mayor Act immediately
reduced the NYPD operating budget by a billion dollars in
fiscal year twenty twenty one, reallocate that money to essential
(28:39):
social services, including housing support, rental relief, food services, and
healthcare anyway. Leopold, who founded multiple political consulting firms as
deep ties to lefty politicians since leaving that office, Staten
Island leaders are now moving. We talk about the borough
(29:00):
of New York City. They want to secede from the
People's Republic of Mamdani is In the New York Post today,
leaders of the city's most conservative enclave are reintroducing stalled
legislation for Staten Island to secede from what they fear
is the People's Republic of Mamdani. The Democratic Socialists could
not be further out of sync with the values of
(29:21):
communities in Staten Island. I'd argue that this time around,
Democrats won't want to stop the borough secession because it
would make it even less likely ever, that New York
City elects a Republican Ever, again, I think the timing
is right. Maybe they'll go along with this. Now here's
the most interesting part of everything. Not only remember we
(29:43):
highlighted that AOC came out against the Old Guard and
Chucky Schumer and people you know that said that oh no, no,
like Hakeem Jeffreys had said, no, Hakeem is not the
future of the Democratic Party and then Schumer wouldn't even
tell anybody who we voted for. There's no way you
voted for Mamdna. But both of them are leaders in
name only. And I've been telling everybody for years, nobody
(30:05):
wants to listen that AOC is the real leader of
the Democratic Party in Washington, And now you have a mom.
Donnie Ally has filed paperwork to run against House Minority
Leader Hakim Jeffries. Apparently Schumer is not the only top
Democrat facing a possible eviction. I would not in any way,
shape or form. It's a New York City Council member,
(30:29):
and they filed paperwork Monday to run against Hakem Jefferies
for his Brooklyn based congressional seat. The Democratic Party's leadership
not only is failing to effectively fight back against Donald Trump,
they have also failed to deliver a vision that we
could all believe in. This guy is a close ally
of Mamdannie, known as you know, the left wing voice
(30:49):
in the New York City Council. I think it just
shows you how they are interpreting this election, and they're
not going to stop now. Jefferies just shrugged off acxio's
reporting this. And if you asked me a serious question.
I'll give you a serious answer it and you know
that's not a serious question based on everything coming out
(31:09):
of Brooklyn, he said. And anyway, we'll see what happens.
But that is a real state of play, and that's
a power moved by Mamdani. Now, if you look at
the New York Post, what's their headline, Liberal politicals, the
Democratic Socialists of America are warning Governor of New York
Kathy Hokeel to back Zora Mamdani's agenda or get booted
(31:32):
from office. Quote third strike and you're out. And in
other words, because Kathy Hochel has been saying, well, everything's
got to go through me and don't worry about Mamdani.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Well here's what just happened.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
She is now if she wants to remain as the
Democratic Party's even nominee, she's going to have to bow
at the altar of Mamdani. And so she's not really
governor in name only either. So you have the two
leaders for the Democrats in the House and Senate, they're
not real leaders. And now you've got the Democratic social
(32:09):
of America that they're just going hard deep in the
paint and they're just basically saying back the tax hikes
of Mam Donnie, or get out of the way, and
you're gonna be You're gonna be thrown out of office,
and so then New York will I would not even
be surprised if Mam Donnie in a year says I
(32:30):
can't get as much done as I want being mayor
for New York. I really can help New York by
being your governor. Then you go out to the West Coast,
then you go to Seattle, and the Washington Post suggesting
that the mayor elect out there, Katie Wilson, may even
be worse than the New York City mayor elect. Mam Donnie.
This is the one that lived with Mommy and Daddy
forty some years old, and Mike Great, it's going to
(32:53):
run one of the largest city economies in the country.
With the country fixated on New York, we've kind of
ignored this a little bit, but a Democratic Socialist candidate
defeated the incumbent mayor in a race last week. Again,
none of this is surprising because this is now where
the Democratic Party has moved, and this is why you're
going to see every probably next to every Democratic nominee
(33:18):
in twenty eight. This is who they're going to have
to get the approval of if they ever dare want to,
you know, get the nomination to run for president. And
I don't think once you go down that road. Just
like Kathy Hokeel endorsed Mamdani, then Mamdanni paid her back
(33:39):
by when asked the next day if he would endorse Cochle,
he said no, he wouldn't do it. I mean, just
fascinating politics behind the scenes here. I would argue Kathy
Hokeel is completely beholden to Mamdani. Her future lies in
his hands, and that means she has now got to
do everything he wants. And they're now saying the quiet
(34:03):
part out loud, which makes it even more fascinating. Anyway,
The California community organizer Ray Wong has announced her campaign
against the establishment in her city, and that's against the
incumbent mayor out there, Karen Bass and again moving in
the same direction, forty three year old community organizer Democratic
(34:24):
Socialists of America member wrote that her campaign will focus
on universal housing, free transportation, crimate, climate resiliency, affordability. Why
do you think Gavin Newsom has gone so hard crazy
left because Gavin is he knows it's the only way
to get the nomination. However, he's going to inflict one
wound after it all. He thinks he can, he thinks
(34:46):
he's going to be able to thread that needle. It
will not happen. He will not be allowed to if
he wants to support of the people that now dominate
that party. It's getting more fascinating by the day, and
I'm We've got cuts all over the place. We'll play
throughout the show today, but I find it interesting. You
know that Seattle Mayer is out there protesting Starbucks in Seattle,
(35:10):
one of their largest employers.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
This is insane.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
And we have an issue that's emerged with anti ice
protesting going on in Charlotte, North Carolina, that we'll get
to today. But AOC, you know, she's still complaining that
worries that the shutdown deal shows that Democrats are weak.
He's beyond apoplectic and angry at King Jefferies and Chuck Schumer.
(35:36):
That's why Chuck Schumer's days are numbered. Senator Tim Kaine,
but he doesn't really care at this point in his career.
Slamming AOC, branding the shutdown and not wanting to end
the shutdown and people are back to work, paycheck's are restored.
She may think it's nothing. Virginian's think an awful lot
of it. But then Roe Connible says, this is the
last straw for Chucky Schumer. Then Senator Chris Murphy Connecticut
(36:00):
is a mistake for Democrats to open the government, you know,
and the list goes on and on. Former well soon
to be former mayor Eric Adams. If I were a
Jewish New Yorker with children, I'd be concerned right now.
And then, you know, to have the likes of Bill
Maher be the voice of reason and the Democratic Party
is pretty jarring to me. And he really is the
(36:21):
voice of reason. And you know, but the loudest voices
now are in charge. Zora Mamdani telling a million social
media followers to boycott Starbucks. He's joining in with the
Seattle Marxist mayor.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
It is.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
It is pretty spectacular. Haadie Wilson. Most of you haven't
heard of her because you've been living with mommy and daddy.
By the way, I think that is a very good
you know, that's a prerequisite, right Linda, in your forties
to be living absolutely.
Speaker 9 (36:52):
In the basement, typically in your pajamas till at least
three or four in the afternoon.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
It's a pretty good life if you can get it.
You can't. I can't deny that absolutely.
Speaker 2 (37:02):
Uh So, you know all of this now is unfolding,
that this is the biggest choice moment, but this that
this country has ever faced before. You know, the thing
that is, if there's one thing that is somewhat disturbing
in all of this, it is you know, you got
(37:24):
crazies on the right too. I'm like listening to some
of this commentary and then back and forth, and I'm like, okay,
you people have lost your mind. But you know, I'm not.
Speaker 1 (37:32):
Getting involved in stupidity. I'm just not.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
Majority of Democrats agreeing that extreme political rhetoric was a
key catalyst and the assassination.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Of Charlie Kirk.
Speaker 2 (37:43):
New poll fifty four percent of Democrats that extreme political
rhetoric used by some of the media and by political
leaders was an important contributor to Kirk's being assassinated, and
seventy three percent of Republicans. Fifty three percent of independent
voters say about the same percentage that, according to the survey,
they feel that Kirk's assassination is an incident caused by
(38:03):
a disturbed person. But after the election, remember there was
that that post election poll that showed ninety five percent
of Americans think that there's going to be another political
assassination coming. This is you know, these are really scary
times we're living in and I think that I wish
people would turn down the temperature. And we'll play some
(38:26):
cuts coming up later in the program today of you know,
the anti ice protesters and more comparisons of Trump to Hitler.
I mean, it never seems to end, but if you
want to act the actual poll, Democrats say their party
compromised too much what to give people snap benefits and
to open up the government and took a position that
(38:47):
they historically have taken for decades and decades, and fifty
five percent ending the shutdown. You know that, oh Trump
won that battle well because it was the right thing
to do, not give into a demand and being held
hostage over one point five trillion dollars in crazy spending
