WIll Mamdani get Deported? Ken Belkin weighs in

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ken Belkin joins us now attorney in New York City
to talk about what's going on with the newly elected
mayor and the potential could he be deported? What is
going on here? You know, Ken, welcome in. First of all,
I feel like when Madonnie ran, he's full of all
you know, piss and vinegar and spirit and you know,
just fired up and let's go. And he got a
lot of attraction from young people like this guy's on fire,

(00:21):
let's go, let's get him in there. He's got some
great ideas. And now it's like, okay, hotshot, how are
you going to pull this off? And oh wait, wait, wait,
hold on just a minute. Is that the governor coming
into the room. Look it's Governor hokel Hey, you can
tell him forget it. I'm not raising taxes. We're not
pulling this off. This can't happen. So now we got
people betting on the fact, legit betting sites that Mandannie

(00:42):
could be deported. Is it falling and crumbling away from
him for his chances to be effective in that city
right before our very eyes in the first month of
being there.

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Oh you know, good morning, JT. I think Mayor Momdamie's
going to be pretty effective, pretty effective at destroying this
city and setting it back about forty years of the
progress made. Look a lot of the things he promised,
You're right, they are duties that traditionally fall to the
state legislature, so he would not have the ability to

(01:12):
change laws unilaterally. But there are a lot of things
he can do. He can direct policy with respect to
the NYPD, what they should be making arrests on. He
can direct that sort of policy. He also has, you know,
what I would call a cuckoo super majority in the
city Council, and they're gonna, you know, be rubber stamping

(01:33):
each other's insane ideas like going after ice cream trucks
because of climate change, and going after pizzerias because of
climate change, and installing bike lanes in your very own driveway.
So there's all sorts of things they can do. You
wouldn't believe the state of New York City with these
unused bike lanes everywhere, some of them taking up more

(01:56):
than a full width of car lane. And you see
these roads that people used to zip down are now
reduced single lanes, and people are you know, a road
that took five minutes to travel down now will take
thirty minutes. It's insane what they're doing to the city.
They're crippling it.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
Well, businesses too. I mean they're about to get smacked hard.
And you know they're not going to stand for this.
I mean, let's just call it.

Speaker 2 (02:19):
Without a doubt, New York. I've never seen more more
vacant storefronts in New York City in my lifetime, and
at least as living here for the past twenty years.
I grew up on Long Island, so I was always
coming here, But in the past twenty years, I've never
seen this many vacant storefronts.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
And let's talk about the anti Semitic wave that is
sweeping Mundani's world, and you know he's bringing to that
city there. He's been pretty clear where he stands on
that picture, and it's not going to change.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Yeah. I mean, look he I think when he gets
in with his new comptroller, there's going to be a
war between them about divesting the city from Israeli bonds
and making sure the city doesn't do business with Israeli
companies and his unwelcoming you know, I mean unwelcoming to
Israeli citizens. He threatened that if bb Netnaho ever came

(03:07):
to New York City he would have him arrested. Now,
I'm unaware of what New York law bb Netanyaho broke
that would make up the probable cause for his arrest,
but nonetheless, the mayor said he would unilaterally arrest the
leader of a foreign country.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
All right, well, let's talk about this thing that broke
out here with some traders on prediction market platforms like
cal she and poly market, they're betting on the odds
that he may be deported because, let's call it, he
was born in Uganda? Is he qualified? Is he legally
allowed to be the mayor? I mean, does this have
legs to it? Is this a long shot? Clearly it
seems to me. But is it even worth you know,

(03:44):
bringing up is this ridiculous?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Well, look as he stands right now, he is legally
qualified to hold the office of mayor. But that being said,
he was naturalized I think he was eight years ago.
And on the netrualization you know application and the forms
you have to fill out and swear to the truth
of they're all done under oath, under under a threat

(04:08):
of perjury. And he's you know, you have to swear
your allegiance and that you don't have any allegiances to
any foreign groups that may be averse to the United States. Now,
I think the record is pretty clear that he was
a proud some supporter of Hamas, and Hamas is no
friend to the United States, the no friend to any

(04:29):
Western nation. They they advocate for the founding of an
Islamic caliphate across the world. And the reality is if
he was advocating and showing support for Hamas before he
took that oath, then there is a case he might
have lied on that oath. And if he lied on
his naturalization application, it could be rescinded, he could be denaturalized,

(04:52):
and he could potentially be removed.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
There you go. Well, I got to.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Tell you big if though. Well I know it's a
big look.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But hey, you're you're saying we got a chance. I mean,
so let's just you know, I think you know the
fact that Jim Jordan has introduced legislation to make it
a requirement you be born in the United States not
only to be the president of the United States, but
also to serve in our Congress. If you're anti American,
you cannot hold a government position with you, you have

(05:20):
influence in taking this country in a different direction because
you're not first an American pro American way of life.
So I hope Jim Jordan has great success there. At
the end of the day, the big go ahead.

Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, I was going to say, you know, first, to
be clear, you know, the constitutional already provides it has
to be a US citizen to be president. But look,
you know, I think all elected offices it should probably right.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, that's exactly what I think Jim Jordan is doing.
So can I appreciate you, Buddy Ken bellk and our
attorney in New York City, have a great weekend and
we'll chat next week. It's six thirty now, Alabama's morning
is the end of the day. We just got to
pray that God's will be done in this situation with
Madonni and anybody that's in our Congress that doesn't put
this country first.
