00:00:00.000Folks, this past weekend, America turned 250 years old, which is awesome because that's 250 years of the greatest experiment in human liberty the world has ever seen.
00:00:07.000Now, you'd hope that even the people who disagree with us on tax policy could set all that aside for one day.
00:00:12.000You know, one day to just say, this country is awesome.
00:00:17.000Zorhan Mamdani, the mayor of New York City, spent the fourth describing America as a nation of hunger, oligarchs, masked agents, and exploitation.
00:00:23.000His own wife skipped the celebration entirely and jetted off to a $3,400 Islamic spiritual retreat in Spain.
00:00:30.000All across the left, the message was the same.
00:00:33.000Meanwhile, on the other side, Donald Trump stood up and said something pretty simple, which is that America is awesome and you can be a communist or you can be a patriot, but you can't be both of those things.
00:00:48.000So, Zorhan Mamdani, the mayor of New York, an immigrant to this country who despises America, truly hates it, he decided that on July 4th, he would give an address about how essentially America is trash and the only reason that America is good is because of people like Zorhan Mamdani.
00:01:04.000He was speaking from George Washington's desk, which, again, I cannot imagine.
00:01:09.000George Washington must be spinning in his grave so fast that we can use him to actually bore a tunnel to China at this point.
00:01:18.000Long before the name New York had ever been spoken, Lenape dugouts crossed these currents.
00:01:24.000It was on these waters that tall masts crested the horizon, captained by explorers like Verrazano and Hudson, after whom we've named our bridges and rivers.
00:01:34.000And ever since, Ships full of travelers weary from long journeys have passed through the narrows, the winds of the Atlantic at their backs.
00:01:42.000When those passengers lifted their heads to glimpse what lies just beyond the waves, what did they see?
00:01:49.000They saw land, lush and teeming with life.
00:01:53.000They saw men waiting at the docks to take them into bondage.
00:01:56.000They saw tenements, rife with squalor.
00:01:59.000They saw industry rumbling with activity, steam and smoke rising, a city on the move.
00:02:05.000They saw a towering monument to freedom, her torch glowing.
00:02:39.000The irony is that the story of America.
00:02:41.000Has so often been written by those who were told by others with power and influence and wealth that they were anything but exceptional.
00:02:51.000Again, the idea is that America's history, as you know it, is wrong.
00:02:54.000The Howard Zinn history, that America is actually evil, is probably right.
00:02:58.000And again, it's the powerful today who want an America where all are not created equal, says Zorhan Mamdani, who literally is in favor of discriminatory government policy.
00:03:08.000You each hold a special power, the power to determine what America means.
00:03:14.000The powerful have always known their answer.
00:03:16.000America, in their view, is an arena of supremacy where only a select few are allowed freedom, where not all are created equal.
00:03:24.000America, if you ask them, becomes less the more people it welcomes.
00:03:28.000America, they will tell you, belongs only to those with the right accent or the right shade of skin.
00:03:33.000The rest of us, they insist, should be grateful for merely being allowed to visit.
00:03:39.000Well, I mean, you should be grateful for being here, as all of us should be grateful for being here, but that has nothing to do with shade of skin.
00:03:44.000It has to do with if you were actually grateful to be here, you'd know what made America great, and then you would be grateful for that thing.
00:03:50.000But Zoramamdani, I mean, this kind of bizarrely Stalinist video of him sitting behind the desk, flanked by a bunch of people of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds staring off into space, it's very, very strange.
00:04:25.000We see a city of contradictions within a nation of contradictions.
00:04:29.000We see the wealthiest country in the history of the world, one where children go to sleep hungry while the world's first trillionaire hungers for more.
00:04:37.000We see monopolies that dominate every industry and oligarchs who buy elections.
00:04:43.000We see massed agents terrorizing our streets, eating food cooked by our undocumented neighbors before spiriting them away in unmarked vans.
00:04:52.000We see a nation whose immense wealth has been built by those with calloused, dirt streaked hands, those who toil on factory floors and chisel into stone.
00:05:01.000And we see a nation that has allowed so much of that wealth to be held instead in the soft hands of a precious few.
00:05:09.000Yes, we see America in a health insurance industry that exploits the sick, but that is not all we see when we look for America.
00:06:05.000She decided to skip America 250 for an Islamic spiritual wellness retreat in Spain.
00:06:10.000There's a picture of her at the airport in Spain.
00:06:12.000So, yeah, I mean, nothing important happening here at home.
00:06:17.000As an organization grows, time becomes the most valuable resource.
00:06:20.000Everybody wants more of it, nobody has enough of it.
00:06:22.000That's especially true when you're trying to fill an important role.
00:06:25.000Because most people don't wake up excited to spend hours sorting through resumes.
00:06:50.000that's exactly why so many businesses use Zip Recruiter.
00:06:53.000The platform helps simplify one of the most important parts of running an organization by helping employers connect with qualified candidates quickly and efficiently.
00:07:00.000There's a reason ZipRecruiter is the number one rated hiring site based on G2.
00:07:03.000Whether you're filling a single role or planning for the future, having the right tools makes a giant difference.
00:07:08.000Four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter got a quality candidate within the very first day.
00:07:19.000ZipRecruiter is the smartest way to hire.
00:07:21.000According to the New York Post, a Dallas raised, Dubai educated Syrian American artist who has a long history of bashing the U.S. was spotted at Newark International Airport on Monday boarding an eight hour flight to Palma, Majorca's capital city in the Western Mediterranean.0.86
00:07:34.000She was headed to a sold out retreat run by the Women's Sanctuary.
00:07:39.000The Plants of the Quran retreat cost $3,400 in US dollars for guests to attend it.
00:07:43.000It began Wednesday and runs through Monday and revolves around sacred flora mentioned in Islamic texts through art, botanical workshops, and spiritual reflection, according to the group's website.
00:07:52.000And then she will help host another sold out retreat for the Women's Sanctuary in Corsica, France.
00:08:03.000Well, the good news is that Democrats have decided to embrace every form of this sort of radicalism.
00:08:08.000Abdul El Sayed is very likely to be the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan.
00:08:14.000He, of course, Is a stand for pretty much every terror group in the Middle East.
00:08:19.000And of course, now he is out there comparing a move to ban Sharia law in Oklahoma to the Trail of Tears.
00:08:29.000That the same exact forces that drove native peoples from their land two centuries ago, destroyed Black Wall Street a century ago, bombed a building decades ago, and tried to ban Sharia law not a decade ago.
00:08:48.000That those forces are alive and well today.
00:08:51.000And the reason I wanted to go all the way back to the 1830s is because you can't understand a Sharia ban without understanding the Trail of Tears.
00:09:03.000You can't understand the efforts to uproot Muslim Americans without understanding the Tulsa Massacre.
00:09:09.000You cannot understand the challenges we face today without understanding white supremacy.
00:09:18.000We have to set it in the context of our history.
00:09:23.000This is Abdul El Sayed, the likely Michigan Senate nominee for the Democrats, speaking just a couple of years ago at a Council on American Islamic Relations event.
00:09:30.000Council on American Islamic Relations, of course, was a group that was originally funded as an offshoot of a Hamas linked group in the United States.
00:09:37.000So, you know, we're doing great, I suppose, is what we are saying here.
00:09:43.000And so the way that the left decided to celebrate July 4th was to talk about how much America sucks.
00:09:47.000Mehdi Hassan, straight from Qatar, he quoted James Baldwin, tweeting out, Happy 250th birthday, America.
00:09:54.000We continue the struggle for a more perfect union.
00:09:56.000And I continue to agree with James Baldwin.
00:09:58.000I love America more than any other country in the world.
00:10:00.000And exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
00:10:03.000Yeah, that's definitely what you want to say on the 250th anniversary.
00:10:05.000You should do that on your wife's birthday, by the way.
00:10:31.000Meanwhile, Claire Valdez, the new congressional candidate from New York, one of these Democratic Socialists of America candidates, on July 4th, she tweeted, The 4th of July, we recommit ourselves to remaking America, to fight for liberation from Palestine to Puerto Rico, for a Green New Deal for the world we deserve.
00:10:52.000Yes, that's what the founders were fighting for, for Palestine and the Green New Deal.
