00:07:38.380 Yeah. Yeah. Am I alone here? Am I alone? Am I a babe in the woods? Am I too invested with my age and experience and seeing what Islam has done and Islamic extremist terrorists have done over the course of of a century, maybe even longer now? 1.00
00:08:05.580 But indeed, in the decades that I've been alive, I've seen enough to where I don't think people should be yelling out the battle cry of ISIS and other Muslim terrorists in the mayor's mansion. 0.99
00:08:22.220 I don't care if he's a Muslim and he wants to celebrate his little traditions. 0.76

00:09:10.780 I vividly remember 25 years ago.
00:09:16.100 I cannot believe it.
00:09:17.220 How in the hell? 25 years and here we are with a Muslim mayor and his guests giving terrorist salutes and speaking the battle cry that they yell out before people are murdered. 1.00
00:09:37.360 uh but i'm intolerant i am islamophobic i'm racist for even saying what i'm saying right now 0.70
00:09:47.720 meanwhile uh an unbelievable number of of americans feel exactly the same way as i do
00:09:57.180 they're saying it i'm just uh privileged to be able to say it to a bunch of people
00:10:05.260 on the airwaves
00:10:07.040 because not enough people
00:10:09.720 have the ability to do that.
00:10:12.560 They will be fired.
00:10:13.740 They will lose everything,
00:10:14.940 their jobs, their family,
00:10:16.920 their credibility.
00:10:18.400 They won't be able to monetize themselves,

00:10:24.200 R for racist put on you
