Speaker 1 (00:20):
Welcome everybody, and welcome fellow patriots, Welcome fellow Plora balls,
Welcome all of your dregs to society rocked well as
you sick a fence and stinkos. Of course you know
what we mean. And we need friends, allies and patriots,
and believe it or not, you're always always going to
be welcome here. And this is the Conservative Commander's Radio show.

(00:42):
And I'm Rick Trader coming to you from the my
Pilis Studios, the my Store studios of the a UMN
TV network and joining me today as my co host
as she does a couple of times a week. It
is my dear friend, the patriot from the battle born state,
the battleground state, the soul of Nevada, and that is
Sharon Engle. And Sharon, welcome back, Welcome back to Conservative Commandos.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Thank you, Rick, It's always great to be here. I
am waiting you hardly ever say can I have the
first segment, but you did today, So I'm waiting excitedly,
anxiously wanting to know what Rick Trader wants to do
with the first segment.

Speaker 1 (01:25):
Well, Sharon, I want to give you a little bit
of information about you, Ganda. You gotta okay, and after
I Philly, you know what I had in mind, I'll
be happy to share with you why I believe that
this is important today that we actually talk about you
got to you know, a place in Africa, one of

(01:46):
the countries in Africa and doing a little research on you, Ganda.
And in May of twenty twenty three, the Gandhaan President
and don't ask me to pronoun bounce his name, because
I'll butcher it, signed an Anti Homosexual Act into law.

(02:08):
The legislation imposes severe penalties severe penalties for same sex
relations and other actions related to homosexuality. Now. The key
provisions of this law are life imprisonment for same sex relations.

(02:29):
A person convicted of engaging in homosexual acts can face
a sentence of life in prison, life in prison homosexuals,
death penalty, death penalty for aggravated homosexuality. This charge can
apply in certain circumstances, such as same sex relations with

(02:55):
the minor, a person with a disability, or there someone
who is unconscious. It can also apply to offenders who
have AIDS an HIV as a quote serial offender. Criminalization

(03:18):
of promotion. The law makes it a crime to promote homosexuality,
which carries a penalty of up to twenty years in prison.
This provision can be used against organizations and individuals who
provide support for the LGBTQ plus community other penalties. The

(03:44):
Act also includes lesser penalties for other related offenses, such
as failing to report homosexual activity involving a vulnerable person. Now, Sharon,
let's talk about this for a minute, and let me
tell you why I feel it's important for us to

(04:07):
talk about this today. There's a guy running for mayor
in New York City and we've talked about this guy before,
Zorhan Mandany. Now, first of all, Zorhan Mandani is a muzzle. Secondly,

(04:29):
guess where he come from? You Ganda? In fact, recently
he got married anywhere. You know where he went on
his honeymoon. You know where he went to get married
to you Gandha to Ganda. Now, this man is running
for mayor in New York City, and it's no surprise

(04:51):
that New York City has a large homosexual community, has
a large liberal community. But what I'd like to I know, Sharon,
angle with all the questions and all the news that
this man has gotten, why hasn't he gotten these questions,
one is homosexuality compatible with Islam? And number two, would

(05:18):
he condemned islam nations? Islamic nations for their persecution of homosexuals?
Why hasn't he been asked these simple questions. He's been
asked about free bosses and rank control and free this,
but he hasn't been asked those questions, Sharon. He's had

(05:42):
three debates, you know, with Fomo and and Kurdish law.
Why hasn't anyone asked him the question about his homosexuality
compatible with Islam? He hasn't been asked the question when
hen Islamic nations who persecute homosexuals. Now, you know what, Sharon,

(06:07):
I'm not a fan of homosexuals. You know, I'm not
out going to advocate for them. I think it's a
mental disorder. To be honest with you, it's certainly I
don't believe is normal. It is abnormal. Of course, they've
been pushing their abnormal behaviors on us, trying to make
their abnormal behaviors the normal. But I'm not going to

(06:30):
advocate throwing people off the top of the roofs of buildings.
I'm not going to advocate that we execute him I'm
not going to advocate that we put them in jail
for life. But what about Zorhamandani? How's he feel about
We don't know. You know why because the inept media,

(06:52):
Sharon never ask him these questions. Are they afraid to
ask him the questions? This man is run for mayor
of the most important city in America, one of the
most important cities in the world, if not the most
important city. This is a city that just twenty four

(07:14):
years ago suffered a massive attack when nineteen Muslims drove
airplanes into the World Trade Towers, into our Pentagon and
tried to destroy the US Capitol building. That plane was
brought down by the passengers. Sharon Angel. With the media

(07:40):
that we have in this country today, oh no, if
it's a good thing or a bad thing. But why
hasn't this man been asked those questions? It seems to me, Sharon,
to be a no brainer. He wants to be the
mayor of the greatest city in the country, probably the
greatest city in the world, that has a large homosexual community,

(08:05):
that has a large liberal community. Don't you think those
people would ask that question of this man, Sharon Angel,
your thoughts?

Speaker 2 (08:14):
I thought well, my first thought was his opponents need
to have Rick Trader on their campaign because Rick Trader
wouldn't have let these questions slide by, and they shouldn't
have either. You're exactly right to say, why haven't they
asked the questions? Now that's the next question, is they

(08:39):
have they asked it and nobody's reporting the question, or
no one has made him answer the question, because sometimes
the media, especially when the question is asked, they will
divert or redirect, try to get away from that hard

(09:01):
question if they're in favor of this person. Interestingly, the
answer to the question is just very open. We all
know what the answer is, and that is it doesn't
fit in their agenda, doesn't fit in their narrative, and
their narrative is that this guy they want him to

(09:25):
be their mayor and the reason the establishment, whatever that is.
We're having a difficult time really deciphering what the New
York establishment looks like right now. But certainly in Congress
we have a really radical Muslim entity in Congress that

(09:48):
everybody seems to be frightened of. Talita Rashid, the OAC,
the Elah Nomar. You know that there are three women,
three Muslim women, but everyone seems to be walking a
wide circle around them. They don't want to engage them

(10:10):
because they're so radical and they're nasty. When they come
after someone, they are mean and nasty. So the best
way to deal with them is to ignore them. Is
that what's going on in New York City? Are they
trying to ignore this radical Muslim part of their society

(10:32):
in favor of just letting that go. They want the
Democrat to win. They have all locked up behind this guy.
Nobody is saying anything from their side about him. So
obviously the Democrats have embraced this Muslim thing. And we've
noticed that in the reporting that comes out of Israel.

(10:56):
There's no truth to our media here in the United
States when it comes to the war in Israel and
what's going on with that piece there or ceasefire or
whatever they're calling. It's it's interesting to me when you
see the other side, when you see what they're reporting

(11:18):
what we're reporting in the two things are so different.
And this pro Palestinian pro Islam bend that even the
right has seemed to fall into. Tucker Carlson and Canda
so OANs. They they seem to have somehow embraced this too.

(11:40):
So we see it on both sides of the spectrum
that they're embracing this Islam thing. And it's hard to tell.
Why are they afraid if they don't embrace it, that
will have more radical.

Speaker 1 (11:53):
Is There's a lot of money.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
There's a lot of money.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
There's a lot of money around out there were to
these groups that are promoting Gaza, you know, from the
river to the sea and the fight, you know, and
not the Fifi and the genocide. There's a lot of
money going around. And you know, I love Tucker Carlson,
and no kend of Sowens has had her moments, all right.

(12:22):
I hate to think that they have been uh infected
by money coming their direction from that world. But my gosh, well,
you know, by Fox, Why isn't Fox, Why isn't Fox
or News Max any of those other one American network, Sharon,

(12:45):
Why haven't they brought this up? Why is nobody talking
about man Danny, about where he come from, about his faith,
what his faith believes. Has he condemned this law in Ugandhia, Uganda,
his home country. Has anyone asked him to condemn this? No? No,

(13:09):
because and if they did I would think somebody besides
Sharon Angel and Rick Trader would be talking about it.

Speaker 2 (13:17):
Come on, well, and I am surprised that I haven't
heard it in other quarters because it all kind of
ties together when you start talking about this, these payments.
Think about this. They released two hundred and forty terrorists, killers, murderers,

(13:37):
people that were in there for killing Jews. That's why
the Israelis had them. The worst of the worst were
released for the twenty hostages. Consider this though, two hundred
and forty of that two hundred and forty, one hundred
and sixty were millionaires. Why because millionaires, Because they were

(14:01):
receiving payments, pay to slay payments, lifetime payments. You killed Jees,
you get lifetime payments from Hamas. That's what was released.
And really nobody's carrying that story either. It's just amazing.

(14:24):
As I said, this pro Palestinian pro Islam. Is it
fear or is it payment? What's going on? Why aren't
we hearing the truth? Certainly we're starting to hear false
narratives again about what happened on nine to eleven and
who perpetrated that. And of course the media and the

(14:51):
left when afoot they always want to make the victim
the one who perpetrated the crime. Right, the victim in
October seventh was Israel. But now they're being made to
look like the one who is committing genocide, the one
who has been on the wrong all along. It's this

(15:15):
flip that, this fip flip of the narrative, this lie,
this deception, And what we find is that that is
what the left es. They lie to us all the time,
the media lies to us all the time, flips the

(15:35):
narrative projects what they're doing onto us, makes us feel
like maybe we've we've gone crazy because we remember it
so much differently than they are portraying it in the media.
But this is this is what our country has gotten
caught up in, and it's because people will not question

(15:59):
the truth, they will not ask those hard questions, they
will not report the hard questions. And now I want
to ask his opponents, are you afraid? Why haven't you
asked those questions?

Speaker 1 (16:13):
Don't you know?

Speaker 2 (16:14):
Didn't you look it up? Opposition research in a campaign
tells me you must have made some connections with the
truth at some point.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
Sharing them were three debates, three debates featuring Cuomo, Kurdish
Leewe and Mandanny three debates. Why didn't one of those
other candidates ask him in demand an answer? Don't let
him up until he gave an answer to this demand

(16:47):
and answer. Will you condemn? Will you question like your
home country you Ganda for persecuting gays, Will you can
will you condemned that it's homosexuality compatible with Islam? It

(17:08):
is homosexuality going to be allowed in New York City?
M Well, of.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
Course it is until it isn't you know? Yeah, that's
always That's always the thing. The Democrats have laws against
different things that are not enforced yet, So it's it's
allowed because they haven't enforced the law. It's it's like
our borders. It's allowed until it's not allowed because the

(17:41):
law has been there all along to enforce this. They
just didn't want to enforce it. So whenever it's inconvenient
to enforce, they don't enforce. But it would not surprise
me a bit that Mandami has it in his mind,
his Islamic mind, that something needs to be done here.

(18:02):
Who push puts the pressure on man daddy? Yeah, you
know he's got those size to u Ganda.

Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (18:10):
How how how critical is his Islamic faith to where
he's going with this city.

Speaker 1 (18:18):
Well, when Hitler came to power, Sharon, he didn't start
out saying that I'm going to kill the Jews. He's
He didn't start out saying that we have a Jewish problem,
did he? No, you know, do people really believe that
seven years later, eight years later, there'd be six million

(18:38):
bad Jews, there'd be one hundred million dead people around
the world. He didn't start He didn't when he became
chancellor or whatever his title was. He didn't start out
as saying this is on my this is a platform,
this is a plank in my platform. We're going to
get rid of the Jews. He didn't say that, did he. Yeah,

(19:03):
that's mundane.

Speaker 2 (19:03):
Did not.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
As Mundane said, homosexual homosexuals are welcome in New York City.
I wonder how the theater district, you know, Sharon, I
would guess a large percentage of the theater district is gay.
I wonder how to the entertainment industry. Large part of
the entertainment industry is gay. The restaurant community in New York.

(19:31):
I wonder how they feel about this guy.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
I don't know, they should be very concerned because you. You.
You brought up a really important point here, and that
is Nazi Germany. They didn't broadcast where they were going
when they first started out, But before nineteen thirty three,
homosexual acts were illegal in Germany and that law was

(20:00):
not consistently enforced. However, however, after the Nazi takeover in
nineteen thirty three, the first homosexual movements, infrastructure, clubs, organizations,
and publications were shut down.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
And one other things, Sharon, one other thing, man Demmi
does condemn it? What does that say to the And
by the way, I just found out that this is
the other day, that there are a million Muslims in
New York City. One million Muslims in New York City.
How is the Muslim community going to feel about him

(20:41):
if he comes out in condemns the persecution of homosexuals?

Speaker 2 (20:48):
Well, how many homosexuals are in New York City?

Speaker 3 (20:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (20:53):
I don't know their number.

Speaker 2 (20:53):
There's a million Muslims, how many homosexuals. I think they
should be very afraid. And that's what's really kind of
surprising about how the left has allies within the Jewish community,
within the homosexual community. It's not the right, it's not

(21:14):
the right that persecutes them. It's not the right that
has led these many things against them. It's the left.
It's these radical members of the left and Islam. Make
no mistake, they're on the left of this. They're not
on the right.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
Sir Sharon, let's talk and we can con Let's just
throughout the season. We could continue this conversation after this break.
So what communities are a threat by Mondimi? All right?
The homosexual community, that's number one. The Jewish community, because
this is a guy that says he's going to rest

(21:57):
bb net and Yahoo if he ever comes to New York.
The Christian community because Christianity and Islam are totally incompatible.
All right. You know that they Muslims have attacked and
killed millions of Christians around the world. All right, that
community is under threat. Oh, he don't like the white

(22:19):
community too much either, by the way, you know, he
sees the white community as a problem. The business community.
He don't like the business community, certainly. He don't like
people that own property in New York City. He don't
like the rich people. You don't like the rich people
of New York City. He wants to blame. He wants

(22:40):
to blame capitalism and rich people. He wants to blame
all the problems on them. So there are a lot
of communities that I think need to worry. A lot
of communities need to worry in New York City. And
with that, Jaron, we do need to go to a
breaking conservative commander's radio show with Sharon Angle. I'm Rick

we left the last segment off. We were talking about
all the groups that are threatened by Mondani, the Homosexuals,

(27:13):
the Jews, the Christians, Waits, business owners, people with means
white people. He don't like anybody, Sharon, This guy don't
like anybody. You ask a good question when we went
to the break. Who does he like? Who does he like?
I guess Muslims, that's about it. But everybody. I can't

(27:34):
see you sharing with all those groups he don't like.
How is this guy going to get elected? But he
is the other thing that really really aggravates me about
New York twenty four years ago. Twenty four years ago,
nine to eleven, three thousand people vaporized. Vaporized, including a

(27:57):
kid my wife knew kid that was a student of
First His name was Nick Brenda Marty, three thousand people,
and remember the mantra, Sharon will never forget, never will never.
I think they have maybe twenty four years ago, with
so long ago, this generary, these two generations of first

(28:22):
time voters, and maybe second or third maybe don't they
don't remember nine to eleven. Maybe they don't remember who
did it, Sharon, it was nineteen Muslims. Nineteen Muslims. They
hated Jews, they hated Christians, that hated people with means, okay,

(28:45):
hated white people, hated the United States. I mean, they
were just full of hate. They committed that attack. Okay.
I would say that they would be allies of this guy.
You know, they would be fans of this guy, ma'am Danny.
They'd be his friends, all right. But New York City

(29:07):
is about to like this guy here.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Well, we don't have much time in this segment, unfortunately, Okay,
but I do have a few things about this fellow.
You know. He he campaigned in twenty twenty four when
he announced his candidacy, and he campaigned and support of

(29:34):
fair fair, free city buses, means, get a free bus ride,
public childcare, get free childcare, city owned grocery stores, free groceries,
LGBTQ rights right in the middle of all this, right, yeah,
and rent freeze.

Speaker 1 (29:54):
And what kind of a Muslim is he? What kind
of a if he for lgb TQ rice, what kind
of a Muslim is he? The Islamic community as should
be asking that question.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Well, he was born he was born in Uganda, that's right,
but when he was seven years But he was moved
to Cape Town, South Africa by his family when he
was five, so he really never.

Speaker 1 (30:23):
Experienced you, he seems to know an awful lot about
it because back there to get married and have his honeymoon.

Speaker 2 (30:32):
Well there's something here, though, Why would they move to
Cape Town? And then I.

Speaker 1 (30:37):
Would he moved to the United States, that's right, the
United States so much? Why they come here?

Speaker 2 (30:45):
When he was seven, they moved to the United States.
So he's really never known Africa. He's really never known Africa.

Speaker 1 (30:56):
He must and.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Yet and yet he has this romanticized view of what
Africa is. So that's why he goes back to Uganda
to get married. He doesn't know Africa, and I don't
know if he really knows, if he really knows Islam.

(31:20):
Because his father worked on a book called good Muslim,
Bad Muslim kind of a book is that.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
It's just, you know, there's just these things that just
what is going on. He says he's a dual citizen
of Uganda in the United States.

Speaker 1 (31:41):
He was natural the United States is not I do
believe sharing the United States does not recognize dual citizenship.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Well, I think that they do. I think we do
in some cases. But he was naturalized in twenty eight eighteen,
so he really hasn't been a US citizen for that long.
He's a Shia Muslim who identifies with the twelver or branch.
I don't know what that means. But he married a
Syrian American illustrator in a civil ceremony in New York

(32:18):
City Hall, and then they went to get their other ceremony,
their Nika ceremony. So you know, he's he he's he's
not easily known because he doesn't stand on one side

(32:40):
or the other. You know, it looks like this guy
is trying to stand in the middle.

Speaker 1 (32:45):
He's trying to trying to get elected. What this guy
is trying to do, he's trying to get elected. And
by the way, you are correct, I stand corrected. US
government recognizes dual citizenship. She that's why I love doing
the show.

Speaker 2 (32:59):
I learned some you'll learn a lot. Well anyway, he
just you know, he just he just got his citizenship
in twenty eighteen, and right away he's in the New
York Assembly right away. He's served two terms, I believe,
in the New York Assembly. So he got his citizenship.

(33:22):
Why to get in government. It's you know, it's almost
obvious where this fellow is going. He uh, since twenty
twenty one. So he got his citizenship in twenty eighteen,
and then he starts immediately running office out of Queen's

(33:46):
New York. That's where he was the representative. You know,
this guy, he's just moving on a it's the big
time help And did you ever do.

Speaker 1 (34:01):
You ever think of this? Okay, here you got this guy,
you've got AOC, You've got Schumer, you've got the guy
who's the head Democrat of what King Jeffries. They're all
from New York. They're all from New York area, New
York City area. I mean, they don't represent America, Sharon,

(34:22):
they don't. They have no idea what America is like
because all they've done is live in New York City. Well,
this guy is a transplant. But they certainly don't represent
resent America America's values.

Speaker 2 (34:38):
No, no, but they're infiltrating our government. I mean, that's that.

Speaker 1 (34:45):
In itself is a plan. Is that in itself a plant? Sharon?

Speaker 2 (34:52):
That is the plan. I believe that is. Take look
at these ones that we named from the Well.

Speaker 1 (35:00):
Let's name another one. Let's name another one. A guy
whose father came from Africa. Okay, a father he never
really knew, who wrote a book about dreams of my father. Okay,
Barack Obama. Remember Barack Obama said We're going to fundamentally

(35:20):
change Marca. You see, Sharon, when Barack Obama said that
he was going to fundamentally change America, I think everybody thought, oh,
what a cool campaign slogan. He was serious. He knew
exactly what he wanted to do. He knew exactly he
was being honest one of the few times he was

(35:42):
being honest with the American people. But he knew exactly
what he wanted to do. So, Sharon, and you know
a lot of people have always questioned, is so called Christianity?
All right? His father was a Muslim. So here here
go again. Sharon, we've got this Africa connection, we have

(36:05):
this Islamic connection. As you say, there are so many
members of Congress that are Muslim. Okay, the left squad,
the radical squad in Congress. A guy by the name
of Keith Alison here by the way, he also served
in Congress. He was ahead of the Democratic Party. He

(36:27):
was the attorney general in Minnesota. I mean there's another
Muslim there. Okay. So there's a lot of Muslims in
our government already. And think how fast this has happened.
All right, fifteen years ago, did we have any Muslims

(36:51):
in Congress? Did we have a big mouth Democrats like
Rashida talib A c or Omar any of those. No?
Does this seem to correspond with Barack Obama getting in

(37:11):
a White House? In that connection? Anyway, Sharon, let's get

Sharon Angle. I'mrick Trader, and we are in desperate needs
of funding to keep this show in this network alive
on the air. We need you to become one of
our one hundred patrons who backed this show with a

(39:25):
thirty dollars a month commitment. You know, Sharon Mayory. It
was our anniversary yesterday. Mary and I went down to
Western Marylin, beautiful part of the United States. The trees were,
the leaves were turning on the trees. We we did.
We took a ride on the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad,

(39:48):
which was great. On the way home, I stopped that
arrest area on ninety five in Marlin. I wanted a
cup of coffee. I went and they this place had
a coffee bar, all right. I had my trustee mug,
and he gives me my mug. I carried wherever I go,
filled up my mug, you know, twelve ounces of coffee.

(40:13):
Went to the register and the girl said to me
four dollars and twenty five cents please, four dollars and
twenty five cents for mug of coffee at a coffee bar.
And I was a little bit shock surprised and shocked,
and I said to her, well, as much as you're

(40:36):
charging me for this cup of coffee, I hope the
ownership pays their employees really really well, really really well.
So what we're asking is for people to pledge thirty
dollars a month. That's a dollar a day. That's about

(40:59):
two ounces of coffee. Three ounces of coffee, Sharon, the
value three ounces of coffee a day to keep this show,
to keep this network alive, Okay, and I'm serious. If
things don't turn around, we're off the air. This might
be our last month. And now I said that last

(41:19):
month we got a little break financially and here we
are into the next month. But we need one hundred
people to become our patrons. And the way to do
that go to our website AU and dashtv dot com
AU and dashtv dot com. Right below the banner, you'll

(41:41):
see a post help au win. Click on that sign
up become one of our patrons thirty dollars a month,
less than one fourth of a cup of coffee a day,
to keep this show in the air, to keep our

(42:01):
message alive, to allow us to talk about things no
one else talking about, like Mandany and how he feels
about homosexuals. Okay, is he going to be throwing homosexuals
off the roof of the Empire State Building? Now that
sounds ridiculous, done it, but they're doing it in some
country of Uganda. They pass laws to imprison homosexuals for life,

(42:29):
to execute homosexuals. Does the homosexual community and this country
in a particular in New York City know about that? No? Why?
Certainly the mainstream media is not talking about it. Certainly
Fox and Newsmax and one American News they're not talking
about it, but you're hearing about it here on the
aun TV network. No one here at this network gets paid.

(42:56):
This is one percent volunteer. We don't pay. Our shit
we share is not paid. I'm not paid. This is
a volunteer efforts. Why we believe you need to know
this information. We believe you were like us and you
want to help us save this country. And the way

(43:16):
you save it is by exposing people like Zorn Mundani,
by exposing Schumer and Jeffries and AOC and if you
and Omar and the rest of them, all right, And
that's what we're doing here on the aun TV network.
We're asking you to partner with us. You know, you

(43:38):
turn on PBS, MPR. They're out there begging for money too.
We're just like them. We don't get government funding. They
used to, Thank god, they don't anywhere. But we never did.
We never got government money. But we need you to
help us, to help us keep this program in this
network alive. Go to our say AU and DASHTV dot

(44:02):
com AU and dashtv dot com. Become a patron of
the AU and TV network and I'm thanking you in advance. So, Sharon,
what's going on? What's on your radar screen?

Speaker 2 (44:16):
Well, you know we were we were talking about man
Danny and his Muslim connections or whatever they are. There's
an interesting story out there at the Department of Homeland Security.
Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Tresham MacLachlan has now released

(44:37):
some numbers for US ICE has supported five hundred thousand
illegal immigrants and one hundred and seventy five thousand Americans
have applied to work for the agency. So it's on
a rise. They want to have over two million illegals
gone in two hundred and seventy days, and there are

(44:58):
one point six million of them that our self reporting.
They said, you know, we'll just we'll just go back
where we came from and and get in the line
and come in.

Speaker 6 (45:10):
Charon.

Speaker 1 (45:10):
Let me interrupt you for one minute, because if you
listen to the news, the mainstream network, they'll give you
the idea how unpopular this is with the American people, right,
but this is this is what the American people voted for.
That's why they voted for Donald Trump. They voted for
Donald Trump for two reasons. One was to shut down

(45:33):
the borders and to kick out the illegals and to
the economy. And by the way, on that trip to Marlin,
you know what I paid for gas? Two dollars and
sixty five cents a gallar. Thank you, Donald Trump. So
I'll let you continue share.

Speaker 2 (45:50):
Well, I just wanted to say that there is also
an arm of ice that is looking at terrorists, people
who have the potential for inciting or causing terrapirism, or
supporting terrorism and undermining American national security. And one of

(46:12):
these fellows that they've said you're no longer welcome here.
As a British journalist. Sammy Hamdy, a Muslim journalist from
the United Kingdom who is pro GAZA and has strong
Hamas influences, was told was arrested and then told to

(46:37):
leave the country that he was no longer welcome here.
So it's not just you know, we think about, well,
the ones that come in over our southern border that
ICES is impacting. It's all over. It's not just the
southern border, and we're seeing a and around one point

(47:01):
six million are saying we'll go home voluntarily. Five hundred
thousand have been deported already. One hundred and seventy five
thousand people have said we want to be ICE agents
in spite of the fact that they've been attacking ICE agents.
This is not a soft, cushy job. This is one

(47:24):
where there are some dangers. And it's amazing to me,
amazing to me that in two hundred and seventy days
that's Trump's term of office, two hundred and seventy days.
He'll be in more than that, but just in two
hundred and seventy days, they plan to have two million deportations.

(47:48):
So they're working at it. We know there's a lot
more to do, but they're working at it.

Speaker 1 (47:55):
Sharon, how many ICE agents.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
One hundred and seventy five thousand.

Speaker 1 (48:00):
Now you know what this reminds me of to remember, Sharon,
after nine to eleven, the enlistments in the military, how
that's skyrocketed. So these one hundred and seventy five thousand
men and women who want to be ICE agents, they're
picking up the cop You know why because they know

(48:21):
Americus under attack, just like in nine to eleven, Americus
under attack, and they want to be a part of
stopping it and preserving them. So for that, I say Bravo,
bravo to you, God bless you and your service to
our country. Because that's what this is, Sharon, this is
service to our country. Just like the men and women

(48:43):
that went to Iraq and Afghanistan. This is service to
our country. God bless God bless them. I love hearing this.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
I do too.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
And you know.

Speaker 2 (48:57):
When we say this is not just our so the border,
this is stuff that's been happening in the Gulf of America,
and we need to give some kudos to our law
enforcement officials that are saying those drugs will not come
into this country any longer, not just illegal people, but

(49:21):
illegal substances, things that crouse harm to American people.

Speaker 1 (49:26):
Well, Sharon, yesterday was announced three more drug boats, three
more drug boats were sunk by our Department of War.
And we are war, Sharon, Yes, the American people don't
want to admit it or not, we are at war.
But of course the mainstream media, even Rand Paul, and

(49:46):
that guy irritates me. Sometimes he's done some very good
things he's and then at other times like he's condemning
these attacks. All we killed these people who are running
these drugs into our country, Thank got, Sharlot. How many
Americans do you think would have died if those three
drug boats had reached America? How many Americans would have

(50:08):
died if not just these three drug boats reached America,
but the other nine or ten that have been destroyed.
How many Americans would be dead today? How many Americans
would be dead tomorrow or next week or next year
if those thirteen fourteen boats had reached our shores packed

(50:28):
with drugs. They're the ones that those families, those families
have been saved a lifetime of misery. Those families, they
won't be suffering because somebody that they loved didn't die.

(50:49):
Our dear friend and Elizabeth, her son, Weston, fifteen years old,
was offered a pill by a friend. Weston didn't know
what that pill was. Weston died from taking that pill.
Weston wasn't a drug addict. He was a fifteen year

(51:11):
old kid who took a pill that was given to
him by a friend. Poor Aunt, Elizabeth and our family
the last two years or so since Weston died has
been miserable. It's totally altered their family life. And I
don't want to get into her personal business, Sharon, but

(51:32):
it's been it's been hell. It's been absolute help. Well,
you know what, Sharon, the drugs that were stopped by
sinking these boats with these criminals who were importing these
drugs into our country. That's not going to happen to
those families. Bravo to our president, Bravo to our Secretary

(51:56):
of war. Bravo to anybody that was part of that
decision to sink those bets. Bravo to those men and
women who fire the guns, the cannons of rockets, whatever about, bravo.
Because Americans are gonna be living and families will not
be suffering. The way, my dear friend Analyzabeth, is is

(52:22):
the break time. I believe it is with that we
do go to a break and you are listening to
and watching The Conservative Commandos where Sharon Angle Imrick Traitor

aun dashtv dot com, click on the watch au n

(55:21):
TV Live, Lincoln, I'll take it right to it, Sharon,
what else is new?

Speaker 2 (55:28):
Well? A newly released House Oversight Committee report asserts that
all of former President Joe Biden's final executive actions, including
controversial pardons and clemencies, are null and void because they
carried out without his personal approval. So you know the

(55:48):
things that no longer are Hunter Biden's sweeping pardon was
the only clemency personally signed by the former president. Wow,
Anthony Fauci was not was not so it it was

(56:10):
signed by an auto pin without the explicit presidential consent.
And so what they're saying is Fauci's up. I think
that's uh, that's good news for America.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Actually, Fauchi Chared, I think I think that this should
never happen again. Would I think I think Congress should
pass the law that each executive action must be witnessed,
must be witnessed by live people. Also video recorded for prosterity.
Is that the right word prosterity, okay, must be must

(56:53):
be recorded utterly and visually. That it is in fact
the President of the United States, his hand, his seal,
his signature, that are signing these executive actions. And I
mean that for Donald Trump too. In fact, he's done
this many many, many times, a lot of times so
called reporters into his office and he'll be signing his

(57:15):
executive orders. All right. I think that should become this inner.
I think that should become the law, the law of
the land. And good for good for them to say
these are all Noel and Voyd. Well, wow, is that
going to go to court?

Speaker 2 (57:32):
It looks like it goes to Pam Bondy first and
she gets to investigate. Now to make sure that I
don't know why this is an investigation upon an investigation
is what it looks like. Because the House Oversight Committee
did their investigation and said these should be nol and void.
They are Nolan void because he wasn't personally there to say.

(57:58):
In fact, it says that that his staff was closely monitoring,
monitoring his daily routine, so his reading schedules, his physical
activity as media appearances is clothing. Even the staging of
speeches and major addresses and guidance from Hollywood consultants. Wow,

(58:26):
just just who we needed consulting our president, right.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
But.

Speaker 2 (58:32):
They these this oversight of theirs that his staff was
making and that they were logging just says he wasn't
in charge of this autopin. Somebody else was doing the
autopin stuff. And so these oversight investigators have emphasized the

(58:54):
delegation of pardon authority in this manner violates constitutional norms
and renders the actions legally null. So the former White
House Chief of Staff Zince acknowledged approving these last minute pardons.
So the chief of staff approved them, not the president,

(59:16):
but admitted he did not know who physically operated the
auto pin. So he the chief of staff, I didn't
know that the chief of staff. Nobody knows that the
chief of staff can do pardons. The president has to
do the pardons. But he admits he did the pardons,
those last minute pardons, but he doesn't know who operated

(59:40):
the auto pin. His deaf deputy of chief of staff
and Jill Biden's chief of staff all invoked the Fifth
Amendment when they were questioned about the auto pin stuff,
and their refusals have intensified. You know, all that does
is just intensify everything. You know, what are you hiding?

(01:00:04):
If you're if you have now claimed the fifth that
means that something else was going on there that you
don't want to admit to. So it's just an interesting thing.
These investigators have opened this up, and Comer has said,

(01:00:26):
we have provided Americans with transparency about the Biden autopen presidency,
and now there must be accountability here here. That's that's true.
It needs to happen, this accountability. And so i'm you know,
as I read through this, it looks like it will

(01:00:47):
go to Pam Bondy, who will then bring an immediate investigation.
So Congressman James Comer is the one who is calling
for it, and we'll see how that goes. You know,
it's we're just getting closer and closer what we already knew,

(01:01:09):
and that was that Biden was not in control in
those last months of his presidency, and so many of
the actions that happened there were not presidential actions, but
the actions of a group. And it's interesting to look
at this group, right, the chiefs of staff for not

(01:01:34):
only Biden, but his wife, Jill Biden, and for the
White House physician. He's claiming the fifth too, this Kevin O'Connor.
So you know, there's a lot of folks involved here
in the cover up, if you will. And now it's

(01:01:54):
been exposed, this cover up that he wasn't in charge,
he wasn't present. We all thought he was at present
when he was making those speeches.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
There. How many times could I say on this show
that this guy's a puppet and there was somebody else
pulling the strings. I still believe it was Barack Obama
who was pulling the strings. But this proves, I hate
to say this once again, I was right. You know,
sometimes it's not fun being right, but I believe I
was right on this. He was a puppet. Other people

(01:02:28):
were pulling the strings. I believe that was Barack Obama.

Speaker 2 (01:02:38):
Well he's still a player, there's for that's for sure.
You know, he was a part of the Kamala Harris appointment.
He was not that she was, that he was a
fan of hers, but he was certainly in the mix
when they were trying to figure out who they were

(01:02:59):
going to bring for.

Speaker 1 (01:03:01):
I disagree because you remember he was really the first
last one to sign on to that. Yeah, I believe that.
I believe that he and George Clooney put it into
motion with Clooney's letter, all right, that put it into motion.
But Barack Obama was the last one to endorse her.
And I do believe. I said it on Conservative commanders

(01:03:23):
at the time. I say it again, I really do
believe that Barack Obama set this in motion, that he
expected this to go to the convention, that there was
that there would be convention fights, that no one of
none of the runners, Michelle or Josh Shapiro or Bato

(01:03:45):
or Rourke or any of those people to judge, would
get the nomination, and that to save her party, to
save the country, Michelle Obama was going to ride in
order a silver horse, and he was going to get
the nomination. What he didn't expect is for Camelle Like

(01:04:05):
to take action as fast as she did to secure
the party's support to secure the delegate support to get
the money to run a campaign, and after it was
a foregone conclusion that it was going to be Michelle,
that's when Barack Obama, I think, grudgefully gradually signed on

(01:04:29):
and endorsed her. But I still say it was he,
He that was pulling the strings. It was he that
pulled the strings to remove Barack Obama. I'm sorry to
remove Joe Biden from the from the nomination. Do you
remember one of the last times that Joe Biden was

(01:04:53):
on the stage. I forget what the event it was for,
but at the end, he looked O'biden looked like he
didn't know what to do, or where to go or anything.
And it was Joe to come on stage and took
him by the arm and escorted him out with his
hand on the back. And it was almost symbolic like saying, Okay, Joe,

(01:05:16):
your time's over, get off the stage. Let somebody else
by the way. Hunter Biden referred to this in an
interview on a podcast, and he say he when he
saw that, he wanted to get up and punch Barack
Obama in the mouth. When he saw him usher his
dad off stage the way he did. He may have

(01:05:38):
used a little different wording, but basically he wanted to
get up on stage and punch him in the mouth
for what he did to his father, how he disrespected
his father.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Well, there's another book out. An ABC News reporter has
a book out now talking about Barack Obama calling Nancy
Pelosi and asking her what she was doing endorsing Kamala
Harris following Joe Biden's withdrawal. So Pelosi was part of

(01:06:09):
the push on Kamala and got in the way of
Baraco Blama's plan. So there's a there's a bunch there
that now doesn't willing to talk about, and it's it's
going to be interesting to see exactly, you know, what
really did happen there, because it's clear, it's clear that

(01:06:33):
Barack Obama was running the whole show from the back seat.
He was driving from the back seat to say.

Speaker 1 (01:06:42):
And Sharon doesn't that doesn't that kind of back up
what I said when he called Nancy plus says, what
are you doing endorsing her?

Speaker 4 (01:06:51):
She wasn't you do?

Speaker 7 (01:06:53):
He said?

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
So who else did he want? He put a judge Joshao? Uh,
I mean, who did.

Speaker 7 (01:07:05):
He want to be?

Speaker 2 (01:07:06):
She didn't want to run the one who oh, don't
throw me in that y.

Speaker 1 (01:07:13):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:07:14):
Did he want hill Clinton another? Yes, not only a
third term, but a fourth term.

Speaker 1 (01:07:23):
Well, Sharon, it was Barack Obama when asked the question,
which you've liked to serve the third term? And he said,
Now I'm kind of done, he said, But what I
would like to do is I'd like to sit in
my basement with my sweats on, with the cell phone
making the calls directing right. This was Barack Obama. So

(01:07:45):
who is he going to pack? Joshapiro, Vata, O'Rourke, pele
to judge who else was in the mix at the time,
Cavin Newsom. I don't know, No, it was going to
be Michelle So in away, I say to Kamala Harris,
thank you for saving us from Michelle. All right, Sharon,

(01:08:08):
I think we're kind of up against that time class.
We are, we are and this is a Conservative Commandos.

Speaker 1 (01:11:49):
We do.

Speaker 2 (01:11:50):
The whole country has a problem. We were talking about
it just before we went on the air that New
York City is really the business capital of the world.

Speaker 6 (01:12:04):
It's all the banks are here, Wall Street is here,
and look, they took San Francisco, they took Chicago. Now
they're trying to take New York. And it's you know,
people that live in the West or East have to
realize what the heck is going on. The fetanoil I

(01:12:24):
was coming into our country and killing one hundred thousand
Americans a year the borders. You know, I kept saying,
I'm an immigrant. I believe in immigration, but immigration, but
we don't want invasion. And based on the fact that
the previous White House allowed criminals to come in, see,

(01:12:48):
I believe in immigrants. I want to turn in like
the old days through Ellis Island. I was vice chairman
of Ellis Island. Lei Toker was honorary chairman. Bill Forgazy
was the chairman. And we want immigrants, but we want
immigrants that love America, pledge religions through a prestive legiance
to America, and come in and work seventy hours a

(01:13:11):
week like my father did to become a success, not
people that come in and want a welfare check.

Speaker 5 (01:13:18):
I mean tough.

Speaker 6 (01:13:20):
And now you know what's even worse, Sharon, what's even
worse is they emptied out all the jails in Venezuela.
They emptied out all the jails and sent them in.
I mean, so, whoever in the White House was pressing
that button to allow this to happen, that's got to
be treason to let in criminals that come in and

(01:13:42):
and abuse and kill Americans.

Speaker 2 (01:13:47):
I couldn't agree more John, But I think the problem
in New York City right now is not Venezuela. It
is Zora and man Danny well about him about why
that man Mayor I was I was.

Speaker 6 (01:14:07):
I was in uh Havana in nineteen ninety, nineteen ninety two,
ninety three, ninety four with Thomas Van Wrangell and Bill
for Gays, and we went there the Congressional delegation and
Pastro promised all their people that that the Baptistic government

(01:14:28):
they're they're billionaires or no whatever, the millionaires at that time,
and we're going to get rid of them, and the
Cuban people are going to be well off.

Speaker 7 (01:14:38):
It was all a bunch of crap. The people.

Speaker 6 (01:14:41):
When we were there in nineteen ninety the people were
starving to death. I remember the the shelves at the
supermarkets in Havana empty, and and I went me and
uh Charlie Wrangell went to a medical school because a
lot of America kids were going to the medical school

(01:15:01):
in Havana, which was the license in Havana. And medical school,
which was supposed to be very fine, was good for
the whole country, except the United States, and I found
five kids from Brooklyn Tech High School where I went.
I said, wonderful to see you.

Speaker 7 (01:15:17):
What can I do for you? You know what they
said to me? Send food? They had no food.

Speaker 6 (01:15:24):
You know, in the worst thing in the world is
deliver to live in America, get all the food you want. Well,
we're all obese, So well, let's talk.

Speaker 2 (01:15:36):
About let's talk about this Zoran man, Danny, just this guy,
and what do you want to do to New York?

Speaker 6 (01:15:45):
He read the book and he he hates. He says
that all the people that live on the east side
of New York where the Park Avenue and Fifth Avenue
is should pay double the taxes on their real estate.
They should that he is antisemitic. He hates white people,

(01:16:05):
he hates Jewish people, he hates you know, and this
is not about hate. America is about all people are
created equal, and you know, and hate should not be
wrong in the vocabulary.

Speaker 7 (01:16:22):
In this world.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Absolutely correct. But you say, if this guy gets elected
may or you're out of there.

Speaker 6 (01:16:30):
Talk about that, Well, let me tell you something. You know,
the lie I talked to a lot of the police.
The police are out of here because he wants to
defund the police. So if the police are out of here,
what it was gonna do?

Speaker 7 (01:16:44):
Stick around?

Speaker 6 (01:16:46):
I mean, I'm being a little bit extreme, but you
have to say in an extreme way to be able
to get to the truth.

Speaker 7 (01:16:54):
Of course, do you.

Speaker 2 (01:16:56):
Think that the people of New York City are going
to respond to your message, which is we can't do
this with this man? Or are they going to respond
to his message? All this free stuff, it's going to
be utopia if you elect me.

Speaker 6 (01:17:11):
Well, that's what Castro said, That's what Hugo Chavez said.
In Venezuela. Now, let me tell you, Venezuela was the
wealthiest country in South America. Now it's the poorest. He
promised them the moon. Oh we've got all this oil.
Everybody's gonna be well off. Well, the people in Venezuela

(01:17:31):
are starving.

Speaker 7 (01:17:33):
And guess what.

Speaker 6 (01:17:35):
After Venezuela and people left. You know anybody you know
anybody that's breaking into Venezuela. You know anybody that wants
to go break into Cuba and go back to Cuba?
I don't know anybody. You know anybody's breaking into Russia?
Communism socialism doesn't work.

Speaker 2 (01:17:54):
So in this fellow will get elected in November of
twenty twenty six. Is that wrecked? Is that where we're
moving that election? Well, this year.

Speaker 6 (01:18:07):
Election is in November, and this year they'll take they
take the office in January first or something like that.

Speaker 2 (01:18:14):
Wow, so we don't have much time to get the
word out. What how do we convince New York City
dwellers that this is not a good thing for them?

Speaker 6 (01:18:25):
Well, they got to remember they all have to go
out and vote, because right now the Democratic Party has
been taken over by the young socialists that make sure
that their people go out and they win. I have
a lot of common sense Democrats, so I yell at
my common sense Democratic friends, stand up and be counted.

(01:18:46):
You can't allow the crazies, you know. I remember reading
comic books when I was young, the bizarro world. I mean,
you can't allow these people to take over the Democratic Party.
He and and and and when When Democratic, uh, New
York stateies eight to one on New York Cities eight

(01:19:07):
to one Democratic, then.

Speaker 7 (01:19:09):
Whoever wins the Democratic primary ends up winning.

Speaker 2 (01:19:15):
The real question is will they respond to that or
will they will this promise of free things be the
thing that that attracts them to the polls. And I
want to go back to your first statement. I'm an immigrant,
you said, and we need immigrants. Is this guy really

(01:19:35):
an immigrant? You know he's only been here seven years.
Has he truly been naturalized? What's going on with this guy?
As far as his ability to even run for this office?

Speaker 6 (01:19:48):
Well, I know President Trump, who's in New Yorker. He
was very upset about it. Uh and uh, He's gonna
do whatever he can to save New York. And that's
the you know, God saved America by having President Trump
survived those assassination attempts, those everything that happened.

Speaker 7 (01:20:11):
I deep down in my heart, God will save New York,
but we have to work at it.

Speaker 2 (01:20:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:20:16):
It reminds me of the joke where God came in
my dream and says, in thirty days from now, you're
going to be a millionaire. And you know, the guy
was walking around saying, Oh, I'm going to be a millionaire.
God told me I'm going to be a millionaire thirty days.
Thirty days comes up and God, God, I'm not a millionaire.

Speaker 7 (01:20:38):
What happened?

Speaker 6 (01:20:38):
You promised me, God says to him, I send you
ten people to sell you a lottery tickets.

Speaker 7 (01:20:44):
You didn't buy any of them. I mean, we're in
the same thing.

Speaker 6 (01:20:52):
So we'll tell you people, he's got to go out
and vote because otherwise you can't beat the system.

Speaker 7 (01:21:00):
System is.

Speaker 6 (01:21:00):
The vote is going to be in November fourth. People
have to go out and vote. A lot of new
authors didn't want to vote. Sometimes, you know, why will
you vote? That's a way to get called into jury duty.
Get quoted into jury duty. So a lot of people
don't vote because they don't want to be told the
jury duty.

Speaker 7 (01:21:21):
But enough is enough. People have to go and vote
and make sure they vote the right way.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:27):
Well, speaking of the right way, we have to go
to a commercial break, which is the right way to
get this show on the air, so that people can
listen to our special guest, John Cassamatids, who immigrated to
the US and is now a billionaire and is saying,

And welcome back. Welcome back to the Conservative Commander's Radio
Show with Sharon Engel and your truly Rick Trader, coming
to you from the my Pillar Studios, the my Sturre
Studios of the au n TV network. I want to
thank our guests for sticking with this. John cassimittites he
is the CEO and the head of the Red Apple Group.

(01:24:13):
It's a conglomerate with interest and energy, real estate, aviation, baseball, entertainment,
and supermarkets. John's also the author of the book how
Far Do You Want to Go? Lessons from a Common
Sense Billionaire? Hey, John, thank you for holding through that break.
We appreciate your time. Hey, John, as we went on

(01:24:35):
the air, that the Senate has just passed President Trump's big,
beautiful bill, and part of that is tax cuts. But
what I'm hearing from especially people on the left, and
you're the first billionaire I've talked to today, and what
we're hearing is that this is just a gift to billionaires.

(01:24:59):
Like John said, John, I got a couple of questions
for you, is do you with your job, do you
make tips? Or do you get time? And they have
for overtime, John, I.

Speaker 5 (01:25:10):
I used to be a.

Speaker 7 (01:25:13):
My father was a waiter, and most of the money
was made in tips.

Speaker 1 (01:25:18):
Okay, so you have worked on tips in your lifetime,
but not where you were in in your present position.

Speaker 4 (01:25:23):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:25:24):
No, No, So when he talks to them, when they
talk about that this is a gift for being there
is maybe.

Speaker 6 (01:25:30):
The tips because you become two things. You either become
a cheater and you cheat on the tips that you're getting,
or you're honest and and and the government doesn't patch you. Now,
I think the government went over overboard on taxing tips.
So I think the government has done the right thing.

Speaker 1 (01:25:52):
John. Let's get back to Mondaney here. What do we
know about this guy? He seems to be kind of shadowy.
He's only been a naturalized citizen for seven years. He
was born in Uganda, spent part of his life in
South South Africa. He's here now. It seems like this
guy has been shot out of a cannon, shot out

(01:26:15):
of a cannon. That just a few years ago he
was elected to the New York State Legislature and now
he's running for mayor. What do we know about this
guy's background and where is he getting his financial support?
I'm very worried about that.

Speaker 6 (01:26:33):
Well, the somebody is supporting him, don't forget are when
our country was being invaded, somebody in the White House
was pressing those buttons.

Speaker 7 (01:26:45):
I believe in.

Speaker 6 (01:26:46):
Immigration, but we were It was not immigration, it was invasion.
Because I don't mind people coming in and working seventy
hours a week and want to become the American citizen
and make enough money to buy their own home, et cetera,
et cetera. But they allowed all criminals in. They amounted

(01:27:10):
they allowed the drug dealers in. They had allowed murderers in.
So who in the White House allowed that to happen,
to murder American citizens, to hurt American citizens, to when
I was vice chairman of Ellis Island.

Speaker 7 (01:27:29):
Ellis Island used to check, used to check to make
sure no diseases were coming in. I don't know if
you remember that.

Speaker 6 (01:27:38):
And right now the kids that were coming in, a
lot of them had diseases, and they went and sat
them right next to our kids in the public. Sools
that's not right, and that is I call it treason.
So if we ever find out who was pressing the
buttons allowing that to happen, because I don't believe President Biden.

(01:28:00):
I don't think President Biden was aware about either. I
don't know whoever had that pen. The executive pen is
guilty of treason to the American people in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (01:28:14):
Right, Johnny, you have stated that if this guy wins,
this guy Mundaney wins, you're going to close your supermarket chain.
How many stores are in your chain in this city
of New York.

Speaker 6 (01:28:26):
Well, right now, that's the smallest part of our business.
We only have like twenty nine stores left in New
York City. At one time we had two hundred stores,
you know, between New York and Florida and whatever. But
right now we're in the energy business and real estate business.
So I got to remind everybody this. You take our

(01:28:47):
inner cities in New York, all the right aids have
closed and bent bankrupt. Half the Walgreens have closed, half
the CBS's have closed.

Speaker 1 (01:28:59):
The inner city where.

Speaker 6 (01:29:01):
There's wide open theft and nobody goes to jail. Remember
what happened in California. They're going and stealing from the stores,
and they had their own calculator and they figured out
because they could steal up to nine.

Speaker 7 (01:29:14):
Hundred and ninety five dollars and not go to jail.

Speaker 6 (01:29:17):
And they were stealing and going on the calculator to
find out when said they didn't get above.

Speaker 7 (01:29:23):
Nine ninety five.

Speaker 6 (01:29:24):
Right, where did does bizarre world come from?

Speaker 7 (01:29:29):
That's not de Burca.

Speaker 1 (01:29:30):
We grew up in John You know, I was in Anchorage,
Alaska in nineteen ninety one and I had a very
similar experience as you did Dan in Cuba, except that
I was in his supermarket that all the shells were
stocked to the brim. Along with me was a fella
from Moscow. His name is Yeve Danny. And when if

(01:29:53):
Danny and I walked into the supermarket, he looked around,
he says, you know, we've got supermarkets just like this
at home, except that they're totally totally empty. Do you
really think that Americans, especially young Americans, really know what
socialism is and how it's affected other countries? As you
used the example of Venezuela. You know, back in the

(01:30:17):
nineteen sixties, Venzezuela was the third strongest economy in the
Western Hemisphere, next to the United States and Canada. Now
it is decimated. So my question, once again, do you
think young Americans really understand what socialism is?

Speaker 6 (01:30:36):
No, the kids that grew up in the last twenty
years in America grew up with the silver spoons in
their mouth. They didn't do what we did. My father
worked as a busboy for seventy hours a week. Nobody
works seventy hours a week anymore.

Speaker 4 (01:30:55):
I think the.

Speaker 6 (01:30:55):
Kids were, you know, the kids, they grew up in
an era where it was a different world, and they're
not out there to work hard.

Speaker 1 (01:31:07):
Right, John and his campaign Mundaney his platform and flirts
things like free fair city buses, public childcare, city on
grocery stores, renfreezes thirty thirty dollars minimum wage, and how
does the city like New York support something like these proposals?

Speaker 6 (01:31:30):
Well, the same way that they believed Fidel Castro when
he promised them that the same way that they believed
Hugo Chavez in Huba in I, Havana, no Venezuela, when
they promised them that people are gullible and these kids
are stupid. They don't realize that they're being lied to.

(01:31:51):
It's the big lie. And and because that they have
convinced these kids to go out and out in the primaries,
they took control of the Democratic Party.

Speaker 1 (01:32:05):
John, you're up there in New York. Not only do
you own grocery stores, you own the anchor of radio
stations w ABC, so you you are right on the
pulse of what's going on in New York. Mundane states
that one of his goals is quote, seizing the means
of production. John, doesay sound like communism? Do you?

Speaker 6 (01:32:27):
Well, let's say they did the same thing in Moscow,
they did the same thing in Avana, they did the
same thing in Venezuela.

Speaker 7 (01:32:34):
That's right.

Speaker 6 (01:32:35):
They want they just want to take it away from
anybody that's worked all their lives, seventy hours a week
and take it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:49):
Defunding the police. Defunding the police, Mundane, the cops are
going to leave, but Mondane says, well, we'll just send
out social workers. That's been tried in places like San Francisco.
Do you know how well it's worked out there.

Speaker 6 (01:33:05):
It's a combat zone. I mean, it's just, you know, people,
the American people have to wake up that we're under attack.
We're under attack in so many ways that if we
don't wake up, we're gonna wake up and we're gonna
lose our country. If you know, you know what I

(01:33:26):
tell people that if Harris had gotten reelected, we couldn't
take four more years, that twenty seventy six, the three
hundred year of our country would not happen.

Speaker 1 (01:33:38):
Well. Mondani has also said that if he's elected, he's
going to create a social housing Development agency that will
build two hundred thousand, two hundred thousand Union it's of affordable,
affordable rents subsidized homes over the next ten years and
double double the spending on rehabilitation of homes at the

(01:34:03):
city's four hundred thousand, four hundred thousand public housing tenants. Now, John,
that sounds like to me, rebuilding this city of New York.
How can this be, John? How can this be feasible?

Speaker 6 (01:34:17):
It doesn't make any sense. Let me tell you something.
We have a housing program in New York for affordable housing.
It's called whatever it's called. But we have like four
hundred thousand homes as part of that system. You know
how much rent they're collecting? Maybe fifty percent even though

(01:34:39):
it's cheap. Nobody's paying the rent, and nobody's addicting them,
and nobody's telling anybody. I know it because a friend
of mine used to run that development, John Davis. The
truth is nobody's paying the rent.

Speaker 1 (01:34:55):
Johnny's also saying. Danny's also saying that there shouldn't be
billionaires like you. What do you want to say? What
do you want to say to Mundaney about that?

Speaker 6 (01:35:07):
Well, if you didn't pledge allegiance, if you got your
American citizenship papers pledging allegiance to the United States of
America and to our laws, you are violating it. Give
up your American American citizenship papers and go back to
where you came from.

Speaker 1 (01:35:27):
The race right now seems to have three candidates, Mundaney, Mayor,
Eric Adams, and Curtis sliwah Are you back?

Speaker 6 (01:35:38):
Works for WABC for thirty years and he has a
thirty year contract.

Speaker 1 (01:35:43):
To go So if you were talking to voters of
New York, what would you say in closing up? John,
what would you say about these three candidates? How would
you assess them?

Speaker 5 (01:35:55):
Curtis is.

Speaker 6 (01:35:58):
There's nobody who knows New York City better than Curtis Leewan.
But a Republican to get elected right now in New
York is very hard. So let's go back to the Democrats.
You know, you have Eric Adams, the mccurrent mayor who's black,
who has been cooperating with President Trump on getting the
fence in to clean out the the streets of New York,

(01:36:20):
clean out the criminals. And there's Cromo. Clomo has good
leadership qualities. But right now Eric Adams is cooperating with Ice,
cooperating with cleaning up the city. So right now a
lot of people are doing with Eric Adams.

Speaker 1 (01:36:38):
Do you possibly see the fact that Mundini, Adams and
Cuomo could split that Democrat vote and there being up
for him for a courteously want.

Speaker 7 (01:36:48):
Tune in two, tune in in a few months. I'll
let you know.

Speaker 1 (01:36:51):
Turn in John, cass mate. John, we want to thank
you for joining us here and please tell our audience

a teenager listening to WABC and Cousins, all those great
all those great disc jockeys. Also, it was a home
of Rush Limball for many, many, many year.

Speaker 7 (01:37:55):
And that's certainly his assistant watch for.

Speaker 1 (01:37:57):
Us now, is that right? If it wasn't for Rush Limball,
I probably wouldn't be here. I probably wouldn't have this show,
We probably wouldn't have the au n TV network. But John, again,
we want to thank you for joining us. We hope
that the over the near future, at least leading up
to the election, that you could join us from time

And welcome back, Welcome back to the Conservative Command This
radio show with Sharon Angel and you're truly Rick Draider
coming to you from the My Pillar studios, the My
Store studios of the AUNTV network and shared our next
guest is with him. It's great to meet him, but
please make that introduction.

Speaker 2 (01:42:12):
Well, it's my pleasure to introduce Matthew Ganione, who is
the chief executive officer of the Main Policy Institute, a
free market policy think tank based in Portland, Maine. Matt
has also been a columnist for The Banger Daily News
and hosts the WGAN Morning News, the highest rated news

(01:42:33):
talk radio program in southern Maine. Prior to joining Maine
Policy Institute, that spent roughly a decade in Washington, d C.
Working for the Republican Governors Association, the National Republican Senatorial Committee,
and on Capitol Hill. He has been involved in more
than one hundred high profile political races in forty nine states,

(01:42:55):
in one industry recognition being named by camp Pain, an
election magazine, as one of the top campaign strategies just
in the country in twenty thirteen. Matt, Welcome to the
Conservative Commandos radio show.

Speaker 8 (01:43:11):
It's my pleasure to be here. Thanks for inviting me.

Speaker 2 (01:43:13):
Well, we invited you because you've written a great article
that really hits home for US. California's suspension of environmental
regulations should be permanent. I couldn't say as stronger thank
you for writing this and aimen to that. Let's go
through some of those things and talk about what has

(01:43:36):
happened in California. It's basically what you're talking about in
this article has been the demise of that once great
state of California. And really I had say, a cautionary
tale for the rest of the United States.

Speaker 1 (01:43:53):
I would say, yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:43:55):
I think it is, and I think it actually makes
a lot of sense to sort of start at the beginning.
Obviously talking about this because of the wildfires and what's
been taking place in southern California. That's really why I
wrote the article, because it was talking about sort of
how do you recover from that and what might be
standing in the way. But if you back up, California
has had problems for a long time. This isn't brand new,

(01:44:17):
This isn't something that's all that surprising. People who actually
live in the state would tell you that they have
a tremendous housing shortage, which has caused prices to skyrocket.
It's impossible to find affordable housing basically anywhere in the
state these days. I've seen a number of studies that
have tried to estimate exactly how many houses short they are,
and it's anywhere from two point six million to three

(01:44:38):
point two million or somewhere in between. So they just
don't build things. They just don't produce what needs to
be produced. And anybody who's familiar with markets and capitalism
knows if there's demand for something people will try to
fill it, and they will fill it by building more
widgets or creating more houses or whatever it is that
you're trying to talk about in a market. And if

(01:44:58):
they're not, there's something wrong. There's something that's interfering with that.
And in California, the answer to the question of what's
interfering with that is, predictably, the government. Gavin Newsom just
issued an executive order in response to these wildfires, basically
trying to find a way to help people rebuild quickly.
And what he did in this executive order is he

(01:45:18):
suspended the California Environmental Quality Act. For the people who
are rebuilding. This is a pretty infamous program, some regulations
in California that have been around since the nineteen seventies
and for decades, they've been strangling the state and anybody's
attempt to put an addition on their garage, let alone
try to have ten thousand houses built. And by suspending

(01:45:39):
these I think that Newsom is acknowledging that there's something
standing in the way. It's going to make projects take
a lot longer than they should, be much more expensive
than they should, and basically make the whole rebuilding process fail.
So in doing this that he inadvertently kind of acknowledges
that there's a really huge problem in California that needs
to be solved. The problem, of course, is that he

(01:46:00):
gets halfway there and doesn't actually understand the true lesson,
which is that they shouldn't be there in the first place,
and they should be permanently repealed, and that would go
a long way towards solving a lot of California's housing problems.

Speaker 1 (01:46:10):
Well, I think that is.

Speaker 2 (01:46:14):
A deficit that the Democrats have at large. They get
about halfway there, they speak half of what really needs
to happen, and that encourages us. Matt. We get encouraged
and we think, oh, these guys aren't so bad as
we thought they were, but they really are. Because it

(01:46:34):
is that kind of halfway stuff that's gotten us in
the trouble that we're in.

Speaker 8 (01:46:39):
Yeah, and I think that, you know, if you're trying
to be charitable, a lot of this stuff comes from,
I guess, a desire to help or do the right
thing or whatnot right. The whole law in general began
with Ronald Reagan. Most people don't know this. He's the
one that signed the California Environmental Quality Act in nineteen
seventy and there was actually a Republican legislature in California
at the time, and when it began, it wasn't really

(01:47:02):
that much of a problem. They were trying to find
ways of making sure that when you build stuff that
you didn't do something insane, like you know, dumb mercury
in the water or something. But what happened is over
the years, a lot of do gooder politicians in California,
and in California it became one party that really did this,
used that law and just built more requirements on top

(01:47:22):
of more requirements on top of more requirements. And now
when you try to engage in a building project in California,
it can take you months, years, and your price can
go up by twenty five, fifty seventy five percent, and
it just takes the bottom out of any developer that's
trying to actually produce anything, making it not worth it.
And so when it's not worth it, nothing is built

(01:47:43):
and the price goes up.

Speaker 2 (01:47:45):
And you asked the question, which is an interesting question,
and I want you, I know we've kind of talked
about it in general, but I want you to really
talk about this. The question is, if these regulations are
an unknown necessary hindrance for those recovering from the wildfires,
why are they necessary at all?

Speaker 8 (01:48:08):
I think it's a pretty important question. I think it's
a pretty common sense question, you know. I guess really
what I would get to is the core of the
issue here. They're either important or they're not. And if
they're important, when someone is trying to, you know, install
some stairs in an apartment complex of theirs, and they

(01:48:29):
have to wait a year and a half for the
approvals and the permits to come through and the environmental
studies to be done and the reports to be produced
before they can do that kind of thing, why is
it not important when we're going to be doing that
times ten thousand, when we're going to be having all
of these homes, all of these apartment complexes, all of
these businesses rebuilt. Because if it is important here, it

(01:48:50):
should be important there. And I think the real answer
is that it's actually not important. And it's the right
thing to tell these people when they're rebuilding that they
don't have to put up with, that they don't have
to they don't to worry about this particular set of
regulations ruining their chances of maybe rebuilding their home that
they lost, and imagine being one of these people, right
and having to wait like two years before you can

(01:49:11):
actually move back into the house that was burned down
in a California wildfire that was largely the responsibility of
politicians who didn't do what they were supposed to do
to make sure this kind of thing didn't happen in
the first place. It would turn you insane. I can't
imagine being that kind of person, and that's ultimately why
Newsom did this. The thing that makes me really mad
about it, Sharon, is that what he's trying to do

(01:49:33):
here is he's trying to kind of wrap himself in
the problem solver cloak and make himself look like someone who's,
you know, helping people to rebuild. He wants to become
the hero.

Speaker 1 (01:49:43):
And now these.

Speaker 8 (01:49:44):
Environmental regulations are easily dispensed with when it makes Gavin
Newsom into a hero.

Speaker 1 (01:49:50):
But in any other.

Speaker 8 (01:49:51):
Context, he's happy to champion them, and he says that
they're great and we should continue to use them, maybe
just reform him and tweak them a.

Speaker 6 (01:49:58):
Little bit.

Speaker 2 (01:50:00):
Well, And that that then begs the political question, are
they really truly interested in affordable housing. I know we're
having the same discussion here in Nevada. We need affordable housing,
and they're building apartments like crazy, but nobody can afford
twenty three hundred a month. That's not affordable housing. And

(01:50:22):
so then you have to say, well, they really aren't
building affordable housing. They're just building out. This is this
is about making more money. And that's why they don't
really want to repeal these permanently because it would it's
kind of cut into the market, you know, you know
how politics work. So so take me take me back

(01:50:44):
from this wall here where I'm on the ledge, and
I'm saying this is all a political problem and it's
not going to it's not going to be solved at all.

Speaker 8 (01:50:56):
I'd love to walk you back from the ledge, But
I live in the great region of main where we're
doing the exact same thing. I mean, it's it's interesting
that most of the country actually has the same problem.
It's not just a California thing. They may be one
of the worst offenders, but basically everywhere in the country
has some sort of a housing crisis right now, and
it's always the same things that created at the end

(01:51:18):
of the day, It's funny that you described the issue
the way that you did share in because honestly, the
developers are going to find a way to make money
no matter what happens, whether you have these regulations, you
don't have these regulations. They're gonna build what they can
to make a profit. I think that this is so
insidious because what it's ultimately done is it has disincentivized

(01:51:38):
anybody being from making a project that would actually be
reasonably affordable because the costs have been piled up on
them so much that having like a you know, a
big complex that actually might be reasonably affordable doesn't make
any sense anymore. Here in Portland, Maine, we have things
like inclusionary zoning, we have rent control, we have a
Green New Deal, you know, sort of a proposal in

(01:52:02):
the city that that just inflates costs to such a
degree that why would I make a low income type,
you know, large scale housing project when I could do
condos or I could create a you know, a larger
complex for wealthier individuals and make my margin there. So
by trying to help and making it so unaffordable to

(01:52:22):
do this, all they've done is they've incentivized exactly the
wrong kind of housing that they don't want to incentivize.
And we're all complaining about that. That's not that's not
a real part is an issue.

Speaker 2 (01:52:33):
Well, and here's here's the appshot of the whole thing.
Our homeless population has increased. And the reason is because
it's cheaper to couch surf, it's cheaper to have a
cardboard box. It's less responsibility, less having to worry about bails,
less less having to consider how do I make ends meet?

(01:52:54):
If I just go on the homeless market, get a
shower down there, you know, join the gym and get
a shower once in a while, sleep in my car,
whatever it is. They have priced themselves clear into it.
Another problem is what we're seeing.

Speaker 8 (01:53:14):
I think that they've so ruined the economics of this
that people make rational decisions. And if your rational decision
is to pursue a path that you know, sort of
makes you more able to afford your life over here,
and it's you know, less than less than advantageous. You know,
maybe you're a homeless person, maybe you're in Section eight housing,
whatever it is, you're gonna take it. It's you know,

(01:53:36):
people are rational economic actors. They're going to do what's
in their own financial best interest, which is one of
the reasons why the United States and states like California,
their welfare systems are so backwards and upside down. There
they're incentivizing all their wrong kind of behavior, and they're
basically creating the very thing that they purport to solve.

Speaker 3 (01:53:54):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:53:54):
The affordable housing one drives me nuts because the government
solution to that is always government centric, taxpayer funded low
income housing projects, and they build these things, they take forever.

Speaker 1 (01:54:04):
They're terrible.

Speaker 8 (01:54:05):
Nobody wants to live in them, and there's nowhere near enough,
and you know, the market is demanding something that they
can't possibly satisfy and provide, and so people end up
doing other things, whether that's being homeless or or having
other options from moving further out. I mean, it increases
urban sprawl. You want to look at the problems of California,

(01:54:25):
one of the big ones is that everything is spread
out like that, and that's because people keep going further
and further away because it's the last affordable thing, you know,
and you commute in forty five minutes or an hour.
I mean, when I lived in Washington, I consider doing that.
I was not really making a heck of a lot
of money at the time, and in order to work
in the city, the only place I could really think
about living that made any sense whatsoever was like almost

(01:54:48):
an hour away, and it was an insane commute to
come in. You know, that's the decision we're making people
do right now because of our policies.

Speaker 1 (01:54:57):
I want to thank our guest, Matt Gaugnon for saying
with his easy chief executive officer of the Main Policy Institute,
and we're talking about California's suspension of environmental regulations should
be permanent. Hey Matt, thank you for holding through that break.
We really do appreciate your time, sir.

Speaker 8 (01:55:16):
Oh, always a pleasure.

Speaker 1 (01:55:18):
Hey Matt, before we go any feather, why don't you
tell us a little bit about the Main Policy Center. Yeah.

Speaker 8 (01:55:25):
Main Policy Institute is one of I don't know more
than fifty thing tanks across the country that work on
individual state policy issues for places like may in California, Texas, Colorado, wherever.
We've been around for about twenty two years and we
work primarily in Augusta on things affecting main policy from

(01:55:45):
the state side of things. We do touch on some
federal policy but a lot of what we do actually
is very similar to what we're talking about today, talking
about housing regulations, talking about taxes, talking about sort of
the unintended consequences of a lot of very silly government decisions.
That's got all my day jobs all about everybody. See,
the thing about government is they always build on what exists.

(01:56:07):
You are creating a base upon which everyone is going
to build upon. They will never pull them back, they
will only add to them. So that's one of the
reasons why I always tell people on the political right,
never agree ever to expand government to you know, have
a new department to grow things, because twenty years, thirty

(01:56:27):
years from now, that little baby thing that you just created,
that seed will germinate and create a plant. And you know,
Department of Educations like that, right, started as a little thing,
and now it's taken over our entire lives federally. This
happens all the time, you know, Matt.

Speaker 1 (01:56:41):
Even though I'm in my deep seventies now, my short
term memory is not as good as it was when
I was in my forties. My long term memory is
pretty good. I can remember when I was a young teenager,
like thirteen, fourteen years old hearing is in California about fires,
fly mud slides, the need for water. And at that time,

(01:57:05):
the population of California was fourteen million people. Now it's
so for forty million people. They've done nothing to solve
these problems. Over fifty years, They've done nothing to solve
these problems. Over fifteen years. You talk about, you talked
about New York City. New York City got so bad

(01:57:27):
they've finally elected somebody like Ruy Rudy Giuliani to clean
it up. But again, does California have to get to
the bottom of the drain before they start to pull
themselves up by their own bootstraps? Doesn't have to get

(01:57:50):
that bad? Cannot people learn from lessons that they've experienced already.

Speaker 8 (01:57:56):
You would hope, so, you would hope. So I think
there is one key element that need to make sure
that we also acknowledge too. It's not just that the
opportunity is provided to you because the state or the city,
or you know, the country or whatever has fallen to
such a state. You also have to have the ability
to take advantage of that failure. And the thing about
Juliani was that he made sense to a lot of

(01:58:17):
people in New York right. He was a law and
order justice kind of guy, and he was, you know,
all about cleaning things up, and he's well spoken, and
he was able to really take how people felt and
turn it into something that was politically potent that would
allow him to win. I think you definitely saw that
with Trump and both of his election wins, certainly this
last one which was far more successful with him having

(01:58:38):
the popular vote, and one on I think in California
it's going to require not only everyone being fed up,
but somebody or a movement has to be there, be
able to actually say to people, Look, you are unhappy,
here is why you are unhappy, and here is a
better way forward that'll fix these things and telling. Unless
someone like that comes around to be able to actually
articulate to people, I think they're going to be waiting

(01:59:00):
for change.

Speaker 1 (01:59:01):
All right. Matt Gunjong, we want to thank you so
much to join. Matt is the chief executive officer of
the Main Policy Institute. Hey, Matt, please leave our audience
with way to connect with you to read the things
that you're right. Find out more about the Main Policy Institute.

Speaker 8 (01:59:21):
Main Policy Institute can be found online at mainpolicy dot
org We also have a substack at Mainpolicy dot substack
dot com. You can find me pretty much anywhere. I'm
all over the place, but I'm certainly on ex Twitter
whatever it's called these days.

Speaker 5 (01:59:34):
You can find me there.

Speaker 8 (01:59:35):
And I have my own substack Pretensive Knowledge dot substack
dot com, so you can find me there as well.
And I'm always doing interviews like this, so anytime you.

Speaker 1 (01:59:42):
See my face, Hey, Matt, do you miss the Swamp?

Speaker 7 (01:59:46):
Do I miss it? Absolutely not.

Speaker 8 (01:59:47):
I loved the city, but I did not miss the
swamp at all when I left, all.

Speaker 1 (01:59:52):
Right, not in the least. But Matt view ken Jon again,
thank you so much for joining us, Take care and
God bless Thanks so much, guys, But for now we're
out of time. That means that we get a running
We gotta go take care of Gobless and we'll see
