i'm up at the crack of noon i do things late afternoon or sunday nights of course my show
00:01:30.360
here on wabc is a sunday night 8 to 11 p.m but today i am filling in for brian kilmeade
00:01:38.700
is he on assignment or on vacation i don't know the big stories uh today seem to be
00:01:46.540
this uh texas redistricting my god when the republicans want to do something it is the worst
00:01:57.420
possible thing that could be done for the country and the democrats they've done this plenty of
00:02:04.800
times this redistricting uh gerrymandering they call it and uh you know both sides complain
00:02:13.760
when this happens because uh they're redrawing lines on a state map and it dictates how many seats
00:02:24.080
that the republicans or democrats get uh and boy is that important when it comes down to voting and
00:02:31.540
presidential elections everything it's very it's very important resources going to certain areas
00:02:37.780
but uh you know this happens every so often and uh the democrats of course because it's the
00:02:46.420
republicans doing it this time they don't like it and they pull out all the usual words all
00:02:54.620
their words that they pull out like racism dictatorship fascist uh and the bottom line is
00:03:07.360
And if you have the power and the people to vote on this and get it passed,
00:03:16.540
But, of course, they like throwing little monkey wrenches into these things.
00:03:22.020
So House Democrats have decided they're just going to leave.
00:03:27.740
They went to, I believe, New York, some of them, Chicago, sanctuary cities.
00:03:35.080
They literally go to sanctuary cities where they'll be protected and embraced
00:03:39.640
and be able to spout off their nonsense to the media
00:03:45.820
without having to fulfill their responsibility of voting in Texas.
00:03:51.920
The other thing we've heard, and please don't put any credence into this,
00:03:58.860
There's so many things in the news that are fun to imagine,
00:04:02.980
but truth be told they will never happen the uh republicans issued an arrest warrant
00:04:09.000
for the texas democrats that uh have skipped town and skipped out on the vote but uh experts say
00:04:18.640
i love that one experts who who is that that uh it's it's likely these warrants are not enforceable
00:04:26.200
and again this has happened in the past no one gets arrested uh monday the um texas house monday
00:04:34.400
voted to issue arrest warrants for the democrats who fled the state to block the gop from taking a
00:04:39.560
vote on its congressional redistricting plan however experts say it's unlikely the warrants
00:04:45.800
will actually return democrats to texas uh never mind actually getting them uh arrested and you
00:04:52.900
know you go through all the motions i've signed the civil arrest warrants house speaker uh dustin
00:04:59.500
burroughs told reporters on monday and uh it's it's uh you know dog and pony show smoke and mirrors
00:05:07.920
uh greg abbott of course the governor down there in texas he went a step further threatening sunday
00:05:14.180
to remove the missing democrats from membership in the texas house and swiftly fill the vacancies
00:05:21.560
He said Democrats may also have committed felonies, may also have committed felonies, arguing that they may have violated bribery laws by fundraising to cover the cost of the breaking quorum.
00:05:38.440
and again fun to imagine so many things obama in the orange jumpsuit being cuffed and led away
00:05:48.680
for uh uh what amounts to a coup during the 2016 election fun fun to imagine with all the ai we
00:05:59.620
have now and the ability to make fun memes for social media oh it's just a laugh riot isn't it
00:06:06.100
but uh you know reality has to settle in at some point and we all have to realize this won't happen
00:06:15.100
the all of these people are much too powerful to be held accountable for anything the only person
00:06:23.080
that really got run through the mill was donald trump and and what saved him from prison as we
00:06:29.980
know was winning the election uh but you know he's an outlier he was that proverbial monkey
00:06:37.860
wrench thrown into washington so he didn't really fit the bill of one of them because them they
00:06:44.740
cannot be held accountable oh every so often someone is sacrificed to the the gods of the
00:06:53.200
beltway for something you know i think there was a line in a movie once that uh described uh the
00:07:01.320
worst the two worst things for politicians and i think uh it was a dead girl or a live boy
00:07:07.960
so every so often those things rear their ugly head and uh and someone has to pay the price
00:07:16.880
But for actually doing what they do and what they've done for years and years and years in D.C., the corruption, the grift, all of it, no one ever really pays for that.
00:07:36.880
They talk about how the laws are there for everybody and no one's too big to jail.
00:07:45.320
So with this redistricting thing, this is just a lot of talk, rattling the saber, trying to get them back.
00:07:57.260
I don't know if the redistricting will go through.
00:08:00.720
You know, I hope it does just because, hey, the Republicans are my team.
00:08:10.560
I hope they win because it always seems the Democrats just they stick together.
0.84
00:08:15.320
in their insanity, and in their criminal corruption.
00:08:25.220
And Republicans, I don't know, we don't have that kind of stick-to-itiveness.
00:08:29.700
But it seems that when things like this happens,
00:08:34.100
one person will emerge as the voice, the leadership.
00:08:38.660
and uh oh boy we have jasmine crockett jasmine crockett this uh this woman has been uh the the
00:08:52.460
face the voice and uh well the gut if you've seen recent pictures of the the democrat party
00:09:00.500
this is this is who they put up front to say uh yeah this is us this is who we want to represent
1.00
00:09:09.320
us and speak for us and uh she is god awful you want to talk about someone that threatens
00:09:17.600
uh the opposition republicans uh they always talk about the dog whistle you know that when they when
00:09:26.360
they want to talk about republicans who are trying to sow division and violence they say oh that was
00:09:32.960
a dog whistle i remember trump uh a couple of years back said um if biden is elected or kamala
00:09:41.320
harris is elected i forgot which one it was at the time but um there'd be a bloodbath and he was
00:09:47.140
talking about the auto industry and wall street financially bloodbath has been something that has
00:09:52.860
been used on wall street and in the financial circles for many years it doesn't mean literally
00:09:58.760
blood running down the streets uh they've used it for forever to denote um a a very bad time
00:10:05.940
financially losing a lot of money uh and he used that term bloodbath and oh my god the mainstream
00:10:15.040
media that propaganda wing of the left they couldn't get enough he's he's saying that the
00:10:23.800
blood blood will flow down the streets if he's not elected and with the the smart people if
00:10:30.920
you're not even smart the people with a little common sense i think realized what he was saying
00:10:36.160
uh but the democrats and jasmine crockett uh specifically has been using terminology
00:10:46.080
that would evoke violence and division uh but does anyone say anything about that does the
00:10:56.460
mainstream media put her quotes up there and say boy this sure sounds like a call to violence
0.97
00:11:07.800
Here's one clip of Jasmine calling Trump a Timu Hitler,
00:11:26.860
And I believe that's all due to mainstream media
00:11:32.060
calling him Hitler, a dictator, an existential threat to American democracy.
1.00
00:11:38.240
So let's listen to Jasmine bashing Donald Trump and calling for violence.
00:11:45.940
They understand that we have a Timu Hitler in the White House right now
0.81
00:11:50.240
that thinks that he is going to become the dictator of the United States.
0.91
00:11:53.760
Well, I got another thing to tell you, sir.
0.92
00:12:06.560
So in Jasmine Crockett's mind, he's not even a Hitler.
00:12:14.560
But when you call someone a Hitler, you're conjuring up a very dangerous image.
00:12:24.680
and if you have power like jasmine crockett does much to my chagrin i had a little more faith in
00:12:33.620
the american people you uh you're advocating violence let's let's be real here they know
00:12:40.960
that works they know what calling someone a nazi or hitler does um here's another clip of her
00:12:50.660
She's calling Dems nice guys, as she says at the same time that Republicans need to be beat down.
00:13:00.800
They expect Democrats to kind of be the nice guys that we are.
00:13:04.380
They expect us to take the punch and say thank you.
0.52
00:13:06.840
Well, I am here to tell you not only are we going to punch back, but we about to beat you down.
0.76
00:13:22.080
All you hear coming out of the left and the Democrat Party and Jasmine Crockett and her ilk is a call to violence.
00:13:36.300
That's easily understood as a call to beat down Republicans.
0.97
00:13:42.400
so what are we supposed to think and we know liberals are i'm sorry mental patients
0.94
00:13:51.260
they're mental patients i see it i scroll on my social media on a daily basis and you see these
0.89
00:14:00.140
wild people with charles manson eyes screaming into their phone uh that they want to literally
0.76
00:14:09.160
take the lives of MAGA, Republicans, politicians, right up to the President of the United States.
00:14:19.240
And they're the nice guys, as we just heard the beautiful Jasmine Crockett tell us.
00:14:29.220
There's another thing with the Democrats, and Jasmine in particular.
00:14:38.320
Have you noticed this? Have you noticed this, people? Jay Leno. They've taken to cursing. Now, I believe they saw Donald Trump using some some salty language during his his rallies, his campaign.
00:14:57.120
And even as president, he is, you know, used to be dreaded S word when talking about the bull that comes out of some people's mouths.
00:15:07.820
And it just fits Donald Trump because that's who he is.
00:15:16.980
He's dealt with, you know, back in the 80s and 90s when Trump was coming up as a developer,
00:15:23.420
he dealt with some pretty nefarious people uh you didn't you you weren't able to move
00:15:30.220
concrete in new york city without talking to some of the members of let's say the five families
00:15:37.280
and uh it's very natural to have that kind of um vernacular when when you're dealing with those
00:15:44.980
people and with donald trump uh i think it's very natural it comes out some people are offended by
00:15:50.320
it should he not talk like that maybe maybe it doesn't seem you know presidential uh but i think
00:15:58.640
the democrats a lot of them because you've seen swalwell and um booty judge and and these guys
00:16:06.520
and of course jasmine and company uh they're starting to curse the mf the s word the dreaded
00:16:15.780
s-word um and it just it it it looks more like just a lack of decorum a lack of respect
00:16:26.160
for their constituents for the office and again i'm not giving trump a free ride on this
00:16:32.680
he should probably not uh use use language like that while he's in office but uh it like i said
00:16:41.180
it more suits his personality these people seem to be using it because they saw how effective it
00:16:47.380
was when trump did use it so again they're just being phonies and uh and liars um and trying to
00:16:55.540
latch on to something they see working in some respect but uh it's a complete lack of um respect
00:17:03.940
i think especially when they throw it around like they do it's it's pretty harsh and it's a lot more
00:17:09.280
often than um than trump uses it uh they've been talking about jasmine crockett for for maybe a
00:17:19.020
presidential candidate in 2028 i love when it's this far out before a presidential election you
00:17:26.040
know we've just started uh trump's term and uh they they start putting the the label on people
00:17:32.960
is this person maybe this person can be a candidate and uh some people have actually
00:17:38.920
said jasmine crockett may be uh gearing up for a presidential run and i i have my theories on
0.99
00:17:46.280
this and and this is why we see lunatics like jasmine crockett being put out in front your face
00:17:54.680
of the democrat party and this is my opinion i believe that the true powers that be in the
0.93
00:18:02.080
democrat party are are putting the cannon fodder out there they're putting people like jasmine
00:18:07.940
crockett out there and uh letting them be the mental patients that they are and after a couple
00:18:16.540
of years of this i think a lot of people will look and say oh boy can we maybe get a moderate
00:18:26.760
dem candidate can we get somebody that isn't uh insane like jasmine crockett and and the rest
00:18:33.900
and then they could present somebody and i don't even know if it's anybody even know their name
00:18:39.960
right now it might be a democrat that uh you know like bill clinton was back in 92 no one really
00:18:46.400
knew who he was but someone like that and in contrast to the nuts that the democrats have
00:18:55.580
paraded around for a couple of years before the 2028 election this guy will look like a godsend
00:19:04.640
like the most sensible reasonable democrat that people have seen in in a decade or so
00:19:12.320
so i find that to be the best road for uh democrats but in the interim look forward
00:19:20.540
to seeing people like Jasmine Crockett, Maxine Waters,
00:19:30.180
being paraded out as the face and voice of the Democrat Party.
00:19:36.360
Just so, in contrast, they could pop someone out there
00:19:40.660
closer to the election that looks like they might
00:20:11.880
Neither of you is actually good with directions
00:20:15.920
And when the final shortcut taken isn't exactly short,
00:20:20.560
our crew is here to give you a trip home that goes just as planned.
00:20:43.400
Liz Warren is backing Zoran Mamdani for mayor of New York.
00:21:00.400
But, boy, you New Yorkers, and now I say you New Yorkers,
00:21:06.760
sure um make me wonder if you have the capacity to think sorry i don't mean i don't mean to get
00:21:18.300
on you too bad but uh it looks like ma'am danny has a very good shot at becoming uh mayor of new
00:21:28.360
york city and uh this guy you know democratic socialist doesn't that sound so nice he's a
00:21:36.820
commie he's a communist let's be honest and uh liz warren that wonderful thing talk about the the
00:21:44.380
nuts and lunatics that the left put out there to uh be the face of uh of the left liz warren is
0.77
00:21:51.620
right up there right up there she is backing uh mem danny and uh she's taken to the media
0.94
00:21:59.840
she's out there she's uh she's doing all the talk shows and uh saying this guy's great he'd be great
00:22:08.240
for new york and here she is on morning joe oh boy uh liz warren on morning joe backing zorhan
00:22:15.580
memdani to wall street this is how is this not a unifying message not just for democrats but for
00:22:23.660
everybody in the working class in the middle class you got it joe it is and in fact that's
00:22:30.580
the mayoral race right now in new york city that's zoran momdani how does this young guy come in
00:22:38.240
doesn't have the money to spend that cuomo has doesn't have the position that adams has doesn't
00:22:44.460
have the backing of the billionaires. How does that work? He comes in and he talks about how to
00:22:50.520
make New York City affordable for families. And he says, we got to talk about housing. We got to
00:22:56.700
talk about the price of groceries and we got to talk about childcare because without those young
00:23:02.420
families, families who are trying to make it, people can't make it in New York City unless
00:23:08.820
they're rich and he wants to make this city work for working people and i that's what it's all
00:23:14.840
about that's why i think this race in new york city is so important because zoran managed to
00:23:22.200
win by talking about affordability democrats across this country will win by talking about
00:23:28.000
affordability and then and here's the key not just talking about it delivering on it
0.75
00:23:33.440
shut up sorry anytime i hear her talk i just have to say shut up um that voice first of all well
0.82
00:23:45.880
you know i think zoran ma'am danny uh this this is insanity first of all this is something not
0.97
00:23:57.260
many people uh touch on who says new york has to be affordable to everybody i'd love to live in
00:24:06.640
bel-air or beverly hills when are they going to make that affordable for me there are so many
00:24:15.600
wonderful places that that seems only the wealthy can afford to live in around our our fair uh
00:24:23.700
country uh what what about that why don't you make uh that affordable you know some places
00:24:31.840
are just expensive new york city's always been expensive the idea that you can make it affordable
00:24:39.220
for people why move to the suburbs if you want to work in new york city move to the suburbs
00:24:48.780
Why are people struggling having to live in New York City?
00:24:58.720
But there are plenty of places that are out of the financial reach of a lot of people in this country.
00:25:07.800
And it doesn't seem like there's a concerted effort to make those places affordable to everybody.
00:25:28.960
And the idea of a communist being the mayor of the city where, you know, Wall Street is.
00:25:37.760
I heard Liz Warren talking about that recently.
00:25:42.100
saying uh you know well the wall street people all the people the billionaires they don't want
00:25:49.740
uh zoran in because he'll tax the million billionaires and why would
00:25:56.840
wall street the the pinnacle of capitalism that is the way of the world why yeah why would they
00:26:07.460
want a communist mayor even though i think they're giving uh mom danny a lot of credit or
00:26:15.000
they're they're saying he can do a lot of things he'd never be able to do as mayor
00:26:19.300
mayors just about a a figurehead position they get to appoint some pretty important people and
00:26:29.220
stuff but you know for years and years it was a lot of ribbon cutting and um showing up at
00:26:38.740
Mamdani doesn't have the power to do all of these things
00:26:46.900
The grocery store thing is just completely crazy.
00:26:57.940
You know, you go to your grocery stores now and the shelves are full.
00:27:05.180
Everyone working there has a reason that they're there to make money.
00:27:11.400
The owners of the stores have a reason to have those stores make some money.
00:27:19.220
And the idea of a state-run grocery store like he wants to do,
00:27:27.900
if you recall a few years ago, New York City had something called off-track betting.
00:27:34.180
they were bookies for horse racing somehow someone figured out how to sell people on
00:27:43.180
hey uh new york we are going to be your bookie for horse racing at belmont and aqueduct and
00:27:51.060
various other uh racetracks and uh they they couldn't make money being a bookie on horse racing
00:28:03.320
if if your city fails at something uh organized crime has made bank on over the course of the
00:28:14.140
years it's that easy do you know let me let you know a little secret most people lose
00:28:19.920
most people that bet on the horses they lose so you'd think you'd think they could make money
00:28:28.240
on that and they lost money it went bankrupt do you honestly think they're going to be able to run
00:28:34.800
a grocery store chain in new york city who's gonna make sure it's stocked who's gonna work
00:28:45.420
there government employees like motor vehicle like the department of motor vehicle imagine
00:28:52.220
going up to somebody in one of these run grocery stores and going excuse me where's the uh where's
00:28:57.920
the bread i'm on break uh yeah but i i'm on break all right because there's no incentive or
00:29:09.520
motivation by anybody to treat the customers anyway or make sure you have the the goods in
00:29:19.620
the store where else are they gonna go the other state-run grocery store that's why ideas like this
0.53
00:29:27.580
can not work in our society look at russia back in the soviet union it's all you heard how did
00:29:35.800
their state-run stores work we don't have a toilet paper we want american toilet paper
00:29:42.940
they didn't have anything so you you got this idea that that a state-run grocery store is going
00:29:51.520
to be better you know than a store uh john cats can run has been running for many years in in
00:29:58.460
new york city to the pleasure of people stocked shelves what would be the incentive to to stock
00:30:06.560
the shelves we don't have it yeah where are you going the other place that doesn't have it
00:30:11.800
socialism does not work and the fact that this guy is the leading candidate for the mayor
00:30:19.220
of new york city is astounding to me and you know again it makes me wonder about the intellect
00:30:26.540
and reason of people in new york you had you know you had the opportunity to get rid of uh uh
0.65
00:30:35.800
hokal she was cuomo's throw down when he got tossed out for the crime of being a hugging
1.00
00:30:43.240
italian as he said but aside from uh that and uh maybe being responsible for some elderly uh
1.00
00:30:51.660
departing this board of coil uh she steps in fills out his term and then you dummies vote her back in
00:31:01.720
you could add uh lee zeldin led zeppelin could have lee zeldin and you you just decided
00:31:12.800
So, you know, I have no faith in you people in picking a mayor.
00:31:26.740
There's enough divided vote between the Democrats
1.00
00:31:29.660
that if every Republican got off their ass
0.99
00:31:37.500
and voted for Curtis Sliwa, you might get him in.
00:31:54.660
So please, I know you'll disappoint me, but try not to.
00:32:09.880

I just saw this as I was scrolling during the break.
00:33:02.440
She says, what Texas and Republican states are doing at the direction of Donald Trump
00:33:08.020
is nothing short of a legal insurrection, a legal insurrection.
00:33:21.120
That's who you thought would be the greatest governor ever, ever.
00:33:30.740
we've seen it fascist dictator how many times have they uh called trump a dictator wannabe
00:33:37.920
dictator a fascist a hitler that and um a legal insurrection which i don't i can't even fathom
00:33:48.820
what that would be but uh there's there's your hokul um well mamdani and liz warren of course
0.55
00:33:57.860
have a plan for new york because free stuff all the free stuff that mam danny wants to uh give
00:34:07.020
to new yorkers and uh that liz warren wants to make new york affordable for everybody
00:34:13.140
for some reason uh all of that has to come from somewhere so uh who should it be well
1.00
00:34:23.000
billionaires let's listen to liz talk about the same old song and dance taxing those pesky
00:34:29.700
billionaires got liz no maybe what zaron is saying is i want people to be able to afford
00:34:44.220
to live in new york city that's what keeps it a vibrant city that's what makes people want to
00:34:50.000
nobody disagrees with that senator but raising taxes in order to do it why is that the answer
00:34:55.180
oh dear are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry billionaires are going to
00:35:00.980
go hungry this is their take on everything the the dreaded billionaire do you know uh
00:35:08.160
new york city i guess eight eight and a half million residents in new york city eight and
00:35:13.760
million people there are 126 billionaires in new york now i don't even know if that sounds like a
00:35:22.660
lot or a little uh relatively speaking but 123 people billionaires um supporting eight and a
00:35:34.200
half million people doesn't sound like their fair share will uh will uh fit the bill there
00:35:42.820
doesn't sound like that's gonna really do it for all the free stuff and how many of these
00:35:49.020
billionaires are going to keep being fleeced for free stuff for other people that aren't really
00:35:58.040
contributing to new york see that's the thing you can uh want a vibrant that's what gives it a
00:36:06.760
vibrant you know all the people that you you want a vibrant city uh who's paying for it
00:36:14.420
not the vibrant people i'll tell you that and you can only soak the billionaires uh so many times
00:36:23.360
before they pick up and leave, which is absolutely what they're doing.
00:36:29.160
A lot of businesses are leaving these big cities around the country,
00:36:46.740
You don't have to sit back and just have them reaching into your pocket
00:36:52.500
under this guise of fair share how much is fair it changes they keep saying it they raise the
00:37:01.480
taxes they say it's on the wealthy and then next year or the next term they come back and go well
00:37:10.300
you got to pay your fair share but i was you told me last time you dipped into my pocket
00:37:16.120
that it was the uh the fair share i don't know it really is uh quite infuriating
00:37:24.920
but you know like i said oh boy new york you best do the right thing you best do the right thing
00:37:32.820
