Good Thursday morning. It's so nice to have you with
us on the forty seven Morning Update. And here are

First out, Donald Trump warning America about a one hundred
percent communist lunatic that radicals in New York City have
chosen to be their nominee to become the mayor. Just
how dangerous is this individual? Will break down what he
(00:43):
believes in and why Donald Trump is warning you that
the Democratic Party is dead and the communists, socialists, and
Marxist have taken over. Also, in shocking testimony before Congress
that the media is not reporting on a former Biden
Ade says quote she does not know who ordered President
(01:05):
Biden's auto pen signatures. Will give you the details on
what all she said to Congress and why this story
is being hidden from you But first I gotta tell

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Story number one.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
President Trump weighing in on the New York City Mayor's
race where Mondani has had a big win. Who is
he has? Trump described it a one hundred percent communist lunatic,
the President calling the New York City mayor primary a
big moment in the history of our country. And why
because of what is actually happening now. I've been saying
(03:39):
for quite some time that I thought the Democratic Party
was dead. It's actually filled with Marxist socialists and communists,
many of them too afraid to tell you the truth
of who they are, so they claim they're a Democrat.
But think back over the last fifty years. Look at
the leaders of the Democratic Party. They were anti communist crusaders,
in fact, even athletic. And what do they do. Well,
(04:02):
if you look at JFK, he was a man that
wanted to actually take America to outer space to be first. Well,
today it's a foreign born communist, Muslim transactivist who says
he wants to defund the police that the Democratic Party
is advocating for. You have to ask yourself the question,
how did we get to this point where there was
(04:22):
so much decay? It's actually a pretty easy answer. Democrats
change their voters by importing massive amounts of illegal immigrants
from third world socialists and communist countries and then appealing
to their extremist ideologies that they grew up under. They
destroyed what the Democratic Party was and now what you
(04:44):
see is a Democratic Party that is dead and the
Democrats are the ones that actually killed it. So what
does this man actually believe. Well, he's a thirty three
year old Democratic socialist and a current state assemblyman in
New York. He is an individual that believes in quote
free public transit buses along with freezing subway fares. He
(05:04):
also wants a rent freeze, taking away the rights of
those that own property. He wonts city run grocery stores
in every bureau, taking away the private sector so you'll
have what they have in Russia or Venezuela or any
of the other socialists or communist countries around the world.
He is demanding thirty dollars minimum wage as well and
(05:26):
higher taxes, saying it's time for the quote rich you know,
to pay their fair share, increasing corporate tax plus a
two percent city income tax sir tax on all millionaires
to fund what he describes as universal childcare. He also
wants her to be free transit and free housing. Now,
if you're an opponent of these radical ideas, like Donald Trump,
(05:50):
then you argue, simply this businesses are going to run
for the hills. It's going to destabilize New York's economy.
But that doesn't seem to matter to the social and
the Marxists. President Trump put it this way on true
social quote. We've had radical lefties before, but this is
getting a little ridiculous. He looks terrible, he's not very smart.
(06:11):
He's got AOC plus three dummies all backing him, and
even our great Palestinian senator crying, Chuck Schumer is groveling
over him. The Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, who's Jewish,
is not of Palestinian heritage, and the House Majority Leader
Hakim Jeffries. Now they said, who cares, both congratulating the
(06:33):
radical socialists on Wednesday morning and vowed to meet with
state lawmakers. Of course, they stop short of, you know,
endorsing him. So here's the bottom line. This man represents
a rise, a dramatic shift towards a bold progressive agenda
in New York. He's advocating sweeping reforms in transit, housing, taxation,
(06:53):
social services, LGBTQ plus and trans health support that you,
the taxpayer, will pay for. And he's proposed sixty five
million in funding for that alone. Meanwhile, yet he says
he's not extremists, he's just a man listening to the people. Well,
when you import millions of illegal immigrants into New York,
this is exactly what you get. The ideology is extreme
(07:16):
and the Democratic Party is dead. I'll give you one
example of what he had to say on MSNBC, as
he said, we built a campaign around one idea to
make New York City affordable again. In translation, that means
take from the rich and give free stuff to the
poor that voted for him in the primary.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
As I'm sure you know, you probably haven't consumed all
of it, I suppose, but there's been a lot of analysis,
a ton on what your success last night and in
the last couple of weeks means nationally for the Democratic Party. Unquestionably,
it means something about how people campaign. But what do
you think it means.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
I think it is part of a larger referendum on
where our party goes. And I think one of the
whole that we had from the very beginning of this
campaign was to move our political instinct from lecturing to listening.
You know, at the national level, after the presidential election,
we saw that New York was actually the state with
the largest swing in the country towards Donald Trump eleven
and a half points, and that that swing took place
(08:16):
far from the caricature of Trump voters, instead taking place
in the hearts of immigrant New York City. And I
went to those neighborhoods. I went to Fordham Road in
the Bronx and Hillside Avenue in Queens, and I asked
those New Yorkers, the vast majority of whom were Democrats,
why they voted for Trump and what it would take
to bring them back to the Democratic Party. And again
and again what I heard from them was cost of living,
(08:36):
was an inability to afford the very things they recalled
being able to purchase four years ago. And when they
told me what it would take, they said again and
again their relentless focus on an economic agenda. And ultimately,
in listening to them, we built a campaign that was
explicitly about making this city affordable. And I think too
often in politics there's a desire to impose what you
think the debate is upon the people that you're seeking
(08:59):
to represents, opposed to listening to the very issues that
are making it difficult for them to keep calling the
city that they love the city that they live in.
Speaker 6 (09:07):
You look at all of what he just said there,
and what you really have to go back to is
that one statement what I heard from them was cost
of living was an inability to afford the very things
they recall being able to purchase four years ago. So
the response to that is we're going to take from
the rich and we're going to give to the poor.
But what really got him across the finish line is
(09:27):
this Steven Miller at the White House putting this out
on xt saying, quote, to understand the pace and the
scope of migration to America in the past years. One
third of New York City is now foreign born, and
almost two thirds of New York City children live in
a foreign born household. Yes, they've imported new voters into
(09:49):
New York City. This is how the Democratic Party is
planning on changing the entire country. This is why they
had open borders, and this is why the Biden administration
allowed radicals to come into this country. Or to put
it another way, take a listen to Jesse Waters on
Fox to.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Pursue it wasn't just what he was selling, it was
how he sold it. Jesse, he is very prolific on
social media, especially TikTok, and his mother is a film producer,
and many of his ads and the things that they
put up on social media were very attractive. They had
the merch and it became like a vibe campaign, which
helped put him over the edge.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Yeah, well, you can't blame the blacks and Hispanics they
voted for Cuomo. You got to blame the whites. They
wanted communism and they got it. They love communism in
college and then they graduated with no skills and two
hundred thousand dollars in debt, and they came into a city.
It's hard to get ahead with high prices. So they
see this kid on TikTok talking about he's going to
soak the rich and he's going to control prices, and
(10:47):
they say that's my guy.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So he gets into the city all and then what
He's just going to attack the country cops and capitalism.
He's just going to cause more crime and chaos. He's
going to turn the prisons inside out, and he's going
to turn whole foods into no foods. This is what
happens when you let the wacky wing of the Democrat
Party run wild. This is what the Democrat establishment has
been trying to keep a lid on for decades since
(11:11):
Occupy Wall Street. Biden tried to keep a lid on it.
Cuomo couldn't keep a lid on it. This is the
Bernie bro Dave hog AOC faction that's now going to
run wild all over the place. And you're basically giving this.
I guess he's a Muslim communist from another country. City
Hall in the best city in the world. This is
(11:32):
the financial capital of the world. It's the biggest city
in America, and you're going to run a communist out.
I thought I was right when I said we'd hit
rock bottom with builde Blasio.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
And it takes a big man to admit they were wrong.
Speaker 5 (11:47):
But I was wrong.
Speaker 2 (11:48):
And so this guy is going to do his thing.
And thank god I left for Jersey.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
The takeaway is this, and there's a big, important point
and a warning for the rest of the country, a
warning that Donald Trump brought up up today the commentary
about New York City Democrats nominating an anarchist socialist for mayor.
Amits one point how unchecked migration fundamentally remade the New
York City electorate. Democrats change politics by changing the voters.
(12:18):
That's how you turn a city the defined US dominance
into what we're witnessing right now now.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
Story number two.
Speaker 6 (12:25):
There is a very important story that is getting virtually
no coverage right now. So I hope all of you
will share this information wherever you can. And that is
the shocking a mission by a former Biden aide announcing
that she does not know who ordered President Biden's auto
pen signatures. Nira Tendon, a former Top eight president Joe Biden,
(12:51):
told Congress under oath that she had authorization to direct
auto pen signatures for the president, but doesn't know who
gave the final order. Tendon served as the director of
Biden's domestic policy counsel, and she told Congress during testimony
that the president used an automatic signature tool allowing for
(13:14):
aids to sign pardons, sign memos, and other official documents
in the White House. Tannam said she did not know
who authorized any of those signatures. During her interview before Congress,
which lasted more than five hours, she told lawmakers that
in her role as staff secretary and senior advisor to
(13:36):
the former president between twenty twenty one and twenty twenty
three that she was authorized to direct auto pen signatures
on behalf of Biden. An Oversight Committee official has confirmed
this now to Fox News. Tennen, who reportedly said during
her testimony that she had quote limited interactions with Biden
in her role, even though she was a senior advisor, that,
(13:57):
according to sources familiar with her testimony, derived an approval
process that left her at least partly in the dark
about who specifically was giving final approval on the decisions
to use the automatic signature tool, even though she'd simultaneously
insisted quote Biden was in charge. Tenan reportedly testified that
(14:20):
it get approval for the use of autopen signatures, she
would send decision memos to members of Biden's inner circle.
Now remember these are people elected by no one. She
added that she was not aware of what actions or
what approvals took place between the times she sent the
decision memo and the time she received it back with
(14:40):
the necessary approval. According to sources familiar with what happened
in this testimony, a minority member of the Oversight Committee
called Tandem's characterization quote a lie. With a statement from
a former White House staffer saying that they received quote
a written sign off from so Biden on every executive
(15:02):
action she presented with him. The only problem is she's
under oath and saying that's not how it went down
at all. Any other characterization is a distortion of the
testimony the Biden. Former Biden officials stated quote to insinuate
that Nira Tanem said President Biden did not approve every
single presidential decision and sign off on every executive action
(15:25):
coming out of the White House is a lie. Well,
she's saying that it's the truth. Tenem's attorney agreed with
the staffer, adding that the auto pens were used after
Biden approved the decisions, saying this in a clean up statement,
the autopen was used only after President Biden personally approved
the decision. Aids at no time signed these documents on
(15:48):
President Biden's behalf. Again, that's not what her testimony was
under oath. So just know this is the big story
that we should be talking about, and also know that
the media will not touch what's the fact that a
former Biden ad does not know this is her testimony.
Who ordered the present auto pen signatures.
