00:00:57.000Well, folks, there's been a lot of talk about the right over the course of the last few days, the radicalism problem on the right.
00:01:03.000And as we talked about on yesterday's show, that is a problem that exists.
00:01:06.000However, is it nearly as mainstream as it is on the left?
00:01:20.000However, on the left, the answer is very much yes.
00:01:23.000And herein lies the problem for the Democratic Party.
00:01:26.000The Democratic Party has decided to let the radicals run the show.
00:01:30.000And this has become extraordinarily clear over the course, not just of the past couple of election cycles, but in the past few months, when Zoran Mamdani, the New York City mayoral candidate, who came from legitimately nowhere to become the frontrunner for New York mayor, has now been feted by the entire Democratic Party as the future of the party.
00:01:49.000All of the so-called moderates in the Democratic Party refuse to dissociate in any way from Zoran Mamdani, who is in fact a terror sympathizer, who is in fact a Marxist radical, who is in fact a complete useless narrow duel of a human being who has somehow managed to manipulate himself into a position to become the mayor of the financial center of planet Earth in New York City.
00:02:14.000And Zoran Mamdani, he's trying now to sort of back off some of his more radical public positions, some of them, not all of them, but the truth is that Zoran Mamdani is in fact a Marxist.
00:02:24.000He is a Marxist with jihadist leanings.
00:02:27.000And in the modern Democratic Party, that is a feature, not a bug.
00:02:31.000There are a lot of people in the media who've been struggling to sort of figure out how is it that Zorn Mamdani was able to win a primary, quote unquote, despite having these radical positions.
00:02:41.000And I've been saying since he won the Democratic Party primary that that actually isn't a bug.
00:02:47.000That is a thing that is quite popular among Democratic primary voters because the Democratic electorate has basically split between moderates, who are increasingly bleeding over into the Republican Party or into registration as independence, and the hardcore Democrats who are increasingly moving ever further to the left.
00:03:05.000We are now two generations removed from the specter of communism via the Soviet Union.
00:03:11.000The Soviet Union now fell 35 years ago.
00:03:16.000And that means that there are a lot of people who don't even remember the Soviet Union or remember the risks of communism or what that looks like.
00:03:21.000When they think of socialism, they actually are thinking of mixed states, capitalist states that have a significant welfare portion, things like Europe.
00:03:30.000And they don't even understand what's going on in Europe, but they're thinking of Europe.
00:03:33.000But the solutions that they are actually proposing are full-scale nationalization projects, Marxist projects directly from the Soviet Cuban Venezuelan handbook.
00:03:44.000And they don't even know they're doing that or they don't care.
00:03:46.000And what that means is that the candidate who signals the furthest to the left in many of these areas in the primaries is actually quite likely to win.
00:03:55.000That is also true with regard to Zoran Mamdani's positions on the Middle East in terrorism and jihadism.
00:04:01.000It's how just 24 years removed from September 11th.
00:04:05.000New York City is likely to elect as mayor somebody who has sympathies for the program of Al-Qaeda.
00:04:10.000I don't mean he's sympathetic to the actual terror attacks of 9-11, although he's quite sympathetic apparently to the terror group Hamas.
00:04:17.000I mean that the program written down by Osama bin Laden as to why he hated the West.
00:04:24.000There's a big scandal because over at TikTok, there are a bunch of youngsters who decided that they were sympathetic to Osama bin Laden's 2001 letter to America.
00:04:33.000They read, hey, these are legit grievances.
00:04:35.000Zoran Mamdani is somebody who believes that the Osama bin Laden articulated grievances of 2001 are actually mostly correct.
00:04:46.000And that is again a feature, not a bug, because there have been people who've been trained for generations in this country to believe that Western civilization is responsible for everything bad that happens on planet Earth.
00:04:56.000Third world countries are third world because of exploitation by the first world.
00:05:01.000Terror centers are terrorist centers, not because of a deeply steeped radical Islamic ideology, but instead because somehow the West has been mean to people.
00:05:13.000That is the stuff that Zor Mamdani is preaching, and it is finding a ready audience among Democratic primary voters, which again is why he's the frontrunner for the New York City mayoralty, with the entire Democratic Party backing him at this point.
00:05:25.000Very few Democrats have had the stones to just say, nope, this is a bridge too far.
00:05:50.000Let's say that you're a purple state Democrat.
00:05:52.000Or let's say that you're a blue state Democrat.
00:05:54.000You're just not a New York City, far left, Greenwich Village Democrat.
00:05:59.000Does it cost you anything to say no, that dude is too much for me?
00:06:02.000I understand the primary voters chose him, but the reality is that is not representative of America.
00:06:07.000But instead, the Democratic Party has decided they must sort of draft off of the Zoran Mamdani energy.
00:06:12.000And that's why you're seeing nationally a reflection of Mamdani's politics via the Bernie Sanders wing of the party.
00:06:18.000Now, Mamdani is a child of the Bernie Sanders revolution because Bernie obviously is not just a socialist when it comes to domestic policy, he is also a Howard's in anti-American extremist when it comes to American foreign policy.
00:06:31.000And Mamdani is just following in the footsteps of Bernie Sanders, but he's adding a more diverse backstory and face to that.
00:06:40.000AOC and Mamdani are basically cut from the same cloth, as we'll talk about in a minute.
00:06:44.000But to understand just how extreme Zor Mamdani is, all you have to do is listen to the stuff that he says.
00:06:50.000So, Mamdani, just a couple of days ago did an interview on Fox News with Martha McCallum, and Martha did a fabulous job interviewing Mamdani.
00:06:58.000Mamdani has taken a wide variety of extraordinarily insane positions.
00:07:02.000Some of them he has walked back because he understands that they actually are politically toxic.
00:07:06.000So one of the ones that he walked back was his criticism of the NYPD.
00:07:10.000So Mamdani, not all that long ago, was saying that the NYPD was racist and quote unquote anti-queer.
00:07:17.000And again, that is the sort of stuff that makes you popular with the Democratic Party primary base, but is unlikely to make you popular with the generic voter in New York City, where it turns out people hate crime more than they hate the police.
00:07:28.000And so Mamdani was forced to back off of that at least a little bit by Martha McCallum.
00:07:34.000You said in the past, I almost don't need to go through it.
00:07:37.000It's been said many times, but that you called the police force racist, said they were a major threat to public safety, called them wicked and corrupt.
00:07:46.000And now the report that you apologize to two dozen members of the NYPD, what did you say to them?
00:07:52.000I apologize for the language that I used, and I spoke to them about the fact that I want to work with them to deliver public safety.
00:07:57.000Because what we're seeing in the city right now is we're asking officers to do nearly everything we can think of.
00:08:02.000We used to ask officers to focus on serious crimes.
00:08:05.000Now we're asking them to focus also on the mental health crisis, to focus also on homelessness.
00:08:11.000In one year alone, the NYPD receives 200,000 mental health calls.
00:08:16.000Police officers that I spoke to, they don't want a behind closed doors apology.
00:08:20.000They want a broad public apology for the things that you suggested about them.
00:08:26.000I'll apologize to police officers right here, because this is the apology that I've been sharing with many rank and file officers.
00:08:32.000And I apologize because of the fact that I'm looking to work with these officers and I know that these officers, these men and women who serve in the NYPD, they put their lives on the line every single day.
00:08:42.000So again, what's hilarious about all of this is that no one in the NYPD believes Zora Mamdani.
00:08:51.000They believe that he is mouthing these slogans in order to win over the so-called moderate Democrats who are probably going to vote for Mamdani in the actual New York City election, which is happening the week after next.
00:09:01.000But the fact that he feels the need to back off of that is because the anti-police position is such a luxury belief that even the Democratic Party can't actually sustain it for very long.
00:09:11.000They tried it in 2020, the anti police position, and it was really quite bad for them.

00:12:42.000Arresting the elected leader of a democratic ally of the United States who just won a multi-front anti-terror war for the crime of winning that war based on a bunch of specious propagandistic crap that Zoran Mamdani and others traffic on TikTok.
00:13:01.000On a legal level, it's totally ridiculous.
00:13:03.000There are absolutely zero legal grounds by which the mayor of New York can order the arrest of a democratically elected foreign leader for winning a war in the Gaza Strip.
00:13:13.000Mamdani was asked about this by McCallum, but he doesn't back off of it.
00:13:45.000It hasn't signed the treaty for the International Criminal Court.
00:13:47.000The International Criminal Court, however, has issued a warrant for the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu as the.
00:13:53.000As it has for Vladimir Putin, I've said that I believe that we should uphold arrest warrants by the International Criminal Court, and that we would you should do so only in abiding with all of the laws in front of us.
00:14:03.000I'm not going to make a new law to ensure that we can actually do this.
00:14:06.000Do you think that Commissioner Tish would allow you to arrest Netanyahu in New York City?
00:14:09.000I've appreciated Commissioner Tish's leadership of the NYPD, and I think that she's done a good job at lowering crime across the city.
00:14:15.000But if she do you think that she would she would be go along with arresting Netanyahu in New York?
00:14:20.000I can tell you that I'm going to exhaust every legal option in front of me, not to make new laws to do so.
00:14:27.000What he's saying there is that he's not going to arrest Netanyahu.
00:14:29.000He doesn't have the legal basis to arrest Netanyahu, but he's going to continue to say that he's going to arrest Netanyahu on these specious grounds.
00:14:36.000Now, lest you believe that Zoran Mamdani actually is just quote unquote in favor of international law.
00:14:43.000You know, just sort of one of those guys who is vibing in the park in 1968, smoking dope and talking about how actually the Viet Cong, they're not that bad, but you know, American soldiers kind of bad.
00:14:53.000Like, unless you just think that he's that, he is not.
00:14:56.000He is a full-scale pro-terror advocate.
00:14:58.000Because in the same interview with Martha McCallum, he was asked about whether Hamas should disarm in the Gaza Strip.
00:15:03.000Now, no matter what you believe about what Israel has done in the Gaza Strip, if you are a person with any sense of decency at all, like just basic pure moral decency at all, you should want Hamas disarmed in the Gaza Strip.
00:15:16.000For the sake of Palestinians right now, Hamas isn't killing Israelis right now, because Israel pulled back in the Gaza Strip.
00:15:21.000They will try again, obviously, just as they tried before and succeeded before.
00:15:25.000But right now, Hamas's tender mercies are being directed at other Palestinians.
00:15:30.000They are apparently killing dozens, if not hundreds of people a day in the areas that Israel pulled out of.
00:15:35.000This is the great irony of the international body, basically telling Israel to pull out of the Gaza Strip.
00:15:46.000So Israel pulls out and Hamas immediately starts consolidating control by literally pulling people out of their houses, lining them up, putting them on their knees and shooting them in the head.
00:15:54.000There are videos of this happening right now.
00:15:56.000And Zor Mamdani has nothing to say about this.
00:15:58.000Not only does he have nothing to say about this, he's asked whether Hamas should disarm.
00:16:01.000Now, whether or not, again, you believe that Israel should maintain military control of the Gaza Strip, whether you believe there should be an international force there, whether you believe in some sort of fantasy world in which the Palestinian Authority takes security control of the Gaza Strip after their complete inability to do the same in Judea and Samaria, the so-called West Bank.
00:16:20.000Regardless of what you believe on this, left, right, or center, you should want Hamas to be disarmed.
00:16:26.000It is a terrorist group that kills anyone who is not in favor of its complete theocratic control of an area that it has robbed of billions of dollars in aid to build terror tunnels.
00:16:36.000They've murdered thousands of Palestinians and gotten tens of thousands of Palestinians killed in the Gaza Strip.
00:16:44.000And yet Zor Mamdani was asked about Hamas disarming.
00:16:46.000And here so remember, there's a guy who wants to arrest the elected prime minister of a democratic ally of the United States, but he has no words at all.
00:16:54.000In fact, he won't even answer a question as to whether Hamas ought to be disarmed in the Gaza Strip.
00:17:00.000You've denounced Israel and the United States for the response to the slaughter on October the seventh.
00:17:06.000In fact, at times uh you've called it a lasting stain, the response.
00:17:10.000And at times you have left October 7th out of your statements completely around this issue.
00:17:16.000Right now, you you just talked about Israelis killing some Palestinians, but Hamas is killing Palestinians within Gaza.
00:17:24.000And they have not returned the bodies that they promised to return, including two Americans.
00:17:29.000Umutra, whose families we have interviewed over these months.
00:17:34.000So what is your response to what Hamas is doing now?
00:17:38.000I think those are bodies and remains that should absolutely be returned, and I think that I have no issue with critiquing Hamas or the Israeli government because my critiques all come from a place of universal human rights.
00:17:49.000And my focus, however, is right here in New York City and transforming the most expensive city in America into one that's affordable for each and every New Yorker.
00:17:55.000But okay, I and I want to get to that.
00:17:58.000But do you believe that Hamas should lay down their weapons and leave the leadership in Gaza.
00:18:04.000I believe that any future here in New York City is one that we have to make sure that's affordable for all, and as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, that we have to ensure that there is peace.
00:18:12.000And that is the future that we have to fight for.
00:18:14.000But you won't say that Hamas should lay down their arms and give up leadership in Gaza.
00:18:18.000I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety and the fact that anything has to abide by international law.
00:18:26.000And that applies to Hamas, that applies to the Israeli military, applies to anyone you could ask me about.
00:18:31.000So just pure moral equivalence between the IDF and Hamas, the IDF, which has spent extraordinary amounts of blood and treasure and lives of its actual citizens in going house to house in the Gaza Strip and the terror group that is currently murdering people, absent any Israeli control of these areas of the Gaza.
00:18:49.000And Mamdani, we're supposed to believe now has no opinion.
00:18:52.000Well, he just, you know, he has no opinion now.
00:18:54.000I mean, weird how his opinions just disappear the minute he is asked about whether Hamas, an actual honest to God terror group, ought to disarm.
00:19:02.000And if you believe that, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you, except he probably already nationalized it.
00:19:06.000Elise Stefanik, who, of course, is the Congresswoman from New York, she put out a statement in response to a question from a reporter from the New York Times.
00:19:17.000Apparently, this reporter, Emma Fitzsimmons, asked her, quote, I'm a reporter for the Times.
00:19:21.000I'm writing about Elise Stefanak's comments in response to Mam Dani's Fox News interview.
00:19:25.000Mamdani's campaign said that her comments calling him a jihadist were Islamophobic.
00:19:28.000Please let me know if you want to respond.
00:19:30.000And so Stefanik responded publicly on X quote, why yes, Emma, I do want to respond.
00:19:39.000Mamdani is the definition of a jihadist as he supports Hamas terrorists, which he did as recently as yesterday when he refused to call for Hamas terrorists to put down their arms.
00:19:47.000The same Hamas terrorist group that slaughtered civilians, including New Yorkers, on October 7, 2023.
00:19:52.000His Kathy Hochels endorsed jihadist communist, who she has empowered to destroy New York City.
00:19:57.000It's why the New York State Democratic Party chair refuses to support him.
00:20:00.000It's why multiple Democrat members of Congress refuse to support him.
00:20:03.000It's why Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have still not endorsed him.
00:20:06.000Because Zoran is a jihadist who will destroy New York.
00:20:14.000Why aren't Democrats just dissociating from him?
00:20:18.000Yes, he doesn't have the open endorsement of Jeffries or Schumer, but neither of them has said, no, I don't think this guy should be the mayor of New York.
00:20:23.000I think it's bad that he's mayor of New York.
00:20:25.000If he becomes mayor, we'll have to work with him because we have no choice.
00:20:32.000None of them will say it because they try to draft off the jet fuel that is radicalism and nut jobbery inside the Democratic Party.
00:20:40.000Now, Mamdani did a mayoral debate yesterday with Andrew Cuomo, the former Democrat governor of New York, and Curtis Sleewa, the Republican candidate.
00:20:50.000What the polls show right now is that Mamdani is the front runner, but he's still in the mid-40% range, that Curtis Slewa is running in the teens, and that Andrew Cuomo is running in the high 20s.
00:21:04.000So the basic theory goes that if you wish to defend, if you wish to stop Mamdani from becoming mayor of New York, basically Slewa has to drop out and endorse Cuomo.
00:21:12.000My guess is that probably will happen sometime in the next week or so because there's really no upside at this point for Sleewa continuing the run.
00:21:27.000Also, he has no shot of actually being the mayor of New York, and every vote for Sleewa at this point is a vote for Mamdani because it prevents Andrew Cuomo, the only real challenger in the city of New York from being able to become mayor.
00:21:41.000Again, it's not just that he is pro-Jihad.
00:21:44.000Zoran Mamdani, I mean, again, he uses the cover of quote unquote international law and human rights to defend the worst jihadists on planet earth, which you'll find to be a common trait among people who are quote unquote defenders of international law, defenders of the international criminal court or the international court of justice or the United Nations.
00:22:02.000People who cite international law while defending those who routinely violate it.
00:22:07.000But Zor Mamdani is also a Marxist, a Marxist who's going to wreck the city of New York.
00:22:13.000So in the debate last night, Zor Mamdani said that he is in fact going to make busing in New York City free because nothing will make busing safer or cleaner than making it absolutely free.
00:22:26.000Quick, name a government service that has not become More degraded as a result of being quote unquote free, meaning fully funded by the taxpayers.
00:23:49.000And there are, in fact, reduced fare options for eligible groups like seniors and low-income residents who may pay as little as a buck forty-five per local bus ride.
00:23:58.000Ain't nobody going bankrupt because they are taking the New York City bus.
00:24:02.000I understand that everything sounds great when it's quote unquote free, but raising taxes in New York City, already one of the most overtaxed jurisdictions in the United States, that is a fool's errand.
00:24:11.000Zor Mamdani, by the way, has also come out in favor of a gigantic quote-unquote millionaire's tax, which is just going to drive all revenue creators out of the city.
00:24:19.000This is how you empty out a great American city, by the way.
00:24:22.000You raise the cost of public services.
00:24:25.000You tax everybody who can pay the tax.
00:24:27.000All those people are mobile because they have money, and then they leave, and your tax base gets undercut.
00:24:32.000And in order to compensate for the worst public services, you then start raising debt.
00:24:37.000You then start taxing the people who remain, and then they leave.
00:24:40.000And that's how you end up in a death spiral for a city.
00:24:43.000Meanwhile, Zorn Mamdani would also love to apparently decriminalize prostitution because there's nothing that sounds better than bringing Times Square back to the hellscape that it was before Rudy Giuliani with women street walking.
00:24:56.000I can't you know, New Yorkers, I I guess that the theory of democracy is every 40, 30 years or so, we just have to repeat the mistakes of the past and then relearn why this was incredibly stupid.
00:25:07.000And I guess if you put an unbelievably smarmy face on all of this, people buy into it.
00:25:22.000Here is Zorn Mamdani, a man who cannot manage press 135 pounds, speaking to you like a substitute middle school teacher who watches too much Rachel Maddow.
00:25:32.000And to follow the advice of district attorneys that we have here in New York City, the current Manhattan DA, the former Manhattan DA, the current Brooklyn DA, the former Manhattan DA, having said that prosecuting women for prostitution is something that actually leads to less safety.
00:25:47.000And what we need to do is provide an economy of opportunity.
00:25:57.000I do not think that we should be prosecuting women who are struggling, who are currently being thrown in jail and then being offered job opportunities.
00:26:04.000I think we should be actually providing those kinds of opportunities at the first point of interaction.
00:26:09.000So, I mean, I don't understand even his theory, but at the first point of interaction, so what?
00:26:13.000You see a lady on the street streetwalking, charging some John a bunch of money for, and suddenly you just walk up to her with like a job application.
00:27:14.000It works whether I'm at home, heading to the airport, heading over to a cooler area, just casual enough, but still looks like you know you didn't roll out of bed.
00:27:21.000The best part is they work directly with ethical factors, they cut out the middlemen.

00:28:17.000Your liver is one of the hardest working organs in your body.
00:28:18.000It's important to give it the help it deserves.
00:28:20.000Your liver acts like a filter, it works behind the scenes on over 500 essential functions every single day.

00:29:04.000Meanwhile, Mamdani does have critiques of Andrew Cuomo.
00:29:07.000What are his critiques of Andrew Cuomo?
00:29:09.000Apparently, Andrew Cuomo is unqualified and also intolerant because he didn't visit a mosque during this campaign.
00:29:14.000So just to be clear about this, Zoran Mamdani is not intolerant for believing that Hamas should not disarm or having no thoughts on it.
00:29:20.000And also for endorsing for the vast majority of his campaign, the idea of globalizing the intifada, which is a violent revolution.
00:29:29.000That doesn't make him intolerant at all.
00:29:31.000It doesn't make him intolerant when he puts out an October 7th statement that doesn't mention Hamas in any way, and then spends the vast majority of its time condemning the Israeli defense forces for defending their country.
00:29:42.000That doesn't make him intolerant in any way.
00:29:45.000Zorma him hanging out with Hassan Piker, one of the great traffickers of violent revolution while shocking his dog in America.
00:29:53.000You know, that that apparently doesn't make him a uh an intolerant person anyway.
00:29:58.000What makes you intolerant apparently is if you don't go and visit a mosque, says Zoran Mamdani to Andrew Guomo.
00:30:04.000He had more than 10 years, and he couldn't name a single mosque at the last debate we had that he visited.
00:30:10.000And what Muslims want in this city is what every community wants and deserves.
00:30:14.000They want equality and they want respect.
00:30:16.000And it took me to get you to even see those Muslims as part of this city.
00:30:20.000And that frankly is something that is shameful and is why so many New Yorkers have lost faith in this politics.
00:30:26.000Yeah, except you know, that is I worked with the Muslim community for many years.
00:30:31.000Name a single mosque you went to in four, but can you name a single mosque you went to in ten years?
00:32:08.000I think that Bernie Sanders lost it when he was a teenager because he has been a complete useless leech on the ass of American society for the past multiple decades.
00:32:16.000The man is 84 years old, and he has not produced a useful thing in his entire life.
00:32:22.000Not one useful thing in his entire that's an amazing record, an unblemished record of uselessness from Bernie Sanders and counterproductivity when it comes to forwarding the principles of the United States.
00:32:32.000But he has bequeathed, he has given birth to a bizarre socialist movement that has now taken over the heart of the Democratic Party, and he is touting AOC as his sort of heir apparent.
00:32:44.000Because the theory of the Democratic Party, at least in the Bernie iteration, is Bernie Sanders would have been the nominee in 2020, were it not for the fact that minorities did not like Bernie Sanders.
00:32:55.000They saw the old school Brooklyn Jewish accent.
00:33:05.000This is why Joe Biden was able to swing into action in 2020 and stop the Bernie Sanders nomination cold, despite the fact that Bernie had already won Iowa and New Hampshire.
00:33:15.000In South Carolina, everything turned because the Democratic Party basically came together to stop him, reliant heavily on minority votes.
00:33:21.000So the theory of Bernie and company is what if we take Bernie's program and we pour that old wine into a new, more diverse vessel?
00:33:29.000And that is why AOC has turned from a punchline, which she actually is, because again, she's charismatic and she's good on TV, and she has never said a thing of worth ever.
00:33:42.000But AOC is now being turned into a legit figure because of Bernie Sanders, who is basically crowning her.
00:33:47.000And during this interview, over and over, Bernie Sanders basically stepped in and protected AOC from any difficult question.
00:33:54.000So at one point, for example, Caitlin Collins of CNN asked AOC if she was going to challenge Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat in New York.
00:34:03.000And Bernie stepped in to protect her, white knighting for AOC.
00:34:23.000We had a house housing crisis, a health care crisis, an education crisis, massive income and wealth inequality, a corrupt campaign finance system, and the media says, Oh, you could have run what are you gonna run for?
00:34:48.000We're living in the richest country in the history of the world, right?
00:34:52.000All right, you tell me why we're the only nation not to guarantee health care to all people, the only nation not to guarantee paid family and medical leave.
00:35:00.000Why we have a $7.25 an hour minimum wage.
00:35:04.000Why we have 800,000 people sleeping out on the street, why we have a president who denies the reality of climate change.
00:35:11.000Why we have oligarchs on top who have more and more power every day.
00:35:15.000Let's talk about that issue, not her own political future.
00:35:35.000Don't ask any questions about whether she's going to run against the Senate minority leader.
00:35:40.000I will step in as an old white man, and I will tell you why you, Caitlin Collins, a woman, cannot ask this other woman a question about her political future because of the relationship.
00:35:51.000This is he's trying to hand control of the Bernie movement to AOC.
00:35:56.000So again, that's what that's why the white knighting routine.
00:35:58.000And again, here's the problem for AOC.
00:36:05.000And I know there are a lot of people on the right who look at this sort of thing and They say, well, you know, but all the Democrats, they're standing in solidarity.
00:36:11.000And look, that's that's a good quality.
00:36:12.000They're standing with if the Democratic Party follows Bernie Sanders and AOC and Zoran Mamdani down this primrose path.
00:37:22.000So AOC during this town hall was asked about President Trump's ability to achieve the release of Gaza hostages.
00:37:29.000And she couldn't even give Trump credit for that.
00:37:31.000She called Trump an obstacle to peace, which is unbelievable because this is a lady who wept openly on the floor of Congress when Israel was given continued funding for Iron Dome, which again is the anti-rocket system that prevents Hamas rockets from hitting civilians in Israel.
00:37:47.000She wept on the floor for abstaining from the vote.
00:37:50.000And here she is saying that Trump is an obstacle to peace.
00:37:55.000These there have been several ceasefire announcements and developments that have happened over the past two years.
00:38:03.000I think that the release of the hostages is a tremendous accomplishment.
00:38:09.000And it is providing so much healing to to so many people, Israelis and Palestinians.
00:38:17.000And it is a profound and important moment in this conflict.
00:38:21.000I also think that as President Trump was on the plane back to the United States, there's already indications and questions about whether this ceasefire will hold.
00:38:38.000I pray that it does, but I do believe we need to see if it holds.
00:38:43.000I don't believe that there's been a history of fidelity to these agreements, and so I think we have to ensure that we will see the terms held too.
00:39:12.000All right, says the party that again is promoting the Hamas should not disarm candidate in New York City, whom AOC campaigns for, by the way.
00:39:19.000AOC also had some words for Republican men.
00:39:24.000She says that that Republicans are radicalizing and exploiting young boys.
00:39:27.000Again, if this is the direction the Democratic Party wants to move, chiding young men for, you know, not being androgynous, then good luck to them.
00:39:39.000And they are able to radicalize and target and exploit a generation of young boys in particular away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.
00:40:04.000And that is why they are resonating online, because they are appealing to the most basist and worst parts of human nature to divide us.
00:40:58.000Well, the good news, at least for Bernie and AOC, is they've found allies on the other side of the aisle in the form of Marjorie Taylor Green.
00:41:04.000Again, I'm uh a little annoyed with people who suggest that pointing out that Marjorie Taylor Green is trying to lead an insurgency inside the Republican Party by gaining strange new respect from the left, that those are the people dividing the party.
00:41:16.000Marjorie Taylor Green has spent the last multiple months attacking the president of the United States and getting massages from all the members of the left.
00:41:25.000But if you mention this, then you're quote unquote breaking the unity.
00:41:27.000Here's Bernie Sanders endorsing Marjorie Taylor Green.
00:41:30.000Always a good indicator that you've gone wrong somewhere.
00:41:33.000There are some decent, honest Republicans.
00:41:36.000And you know, in American society, we believe in democracy.
00:41:45.000I gotta tell you, though, if I may, one of the things that has concerned me very, very much.
00:41:50.000And is that we are seeing the Republican Party doing less of representing their districts and their states than just swearing allegiance to the president of the United States.
00:42:03.000So now I never thought that I would say this.
00:42:06.000But you have somebody like Marjorie Taylor Green saying, you know what?
00:42:12.000That's who I am beholden to, not the president of the United States.
00:42:18.000So there are good Republicans out there, and if Trump would leave them alone for five minutes and not threaten them with a primary, if they stood up and did the right thing, I think we can make progress.
00:42:30.000The reason, by the way, he's praising Marjorie Taylor Green is because she hates Israel, and so does Bernie Sanders.
00:42:34.000That's that's the real reason that that is happening.
00:42:36.000In five seconds ago, he would have rapped on her for her conspiratorialism.
00:42:42.000So when we talk about people who are attempting to split the Republican Party, Marjorie Taylor Green, again, is one of those names.
00:42:49.000Now, the Democrats, they're having a tough time recruiting candidates who are not members of the radical left at this point.
00:42:54.000And one of the more hilarious turns in recent memory, Graham Plattner, according to CNN, a marine veteran turned oyster farmer, who is now a rising Democratic Senate candidate in Maine.
00:43:05.000He was supposed to be the sort of bro response because there are lots of pictures of him out on the lake.
00:43:11.000And of course, he has a military background.
00:43:13.000And there he is looking like a dude who who fishes and spends his time doing man things.
00:43:21.000Well, it turns out that he once called himself a communist, dismissed all police as bastards, and said rural white Americans actually are racist and stupid.
00:43:28.000According to deleted social media posts reviewed by CNN's K file, that'd be Andrew Kaczynski, who does a pretty good job of digging.
00:43:36.000Most of the posts were made five years ago under Platinum's then Reddit handle, P Hustle.
00:43:39.000They were deleted ahead of his campaign launch in August.
00:43:41.000The post in some ways underscore Platinum's reputation as an anti-establishment outsider with unapologetically left-wing views, but the labels and tone used in his writings could also prove costly in a state known for electing political moderates.
00:43:52.000So he came out, he said that was very much me effing around the internet.
00:43:55.000I don't want people to see me for who I was in my worst internet comment, or even frankly, who I was in my best internet comment.
00:44:01.000I don't think any of that is indicative of who I am today, really.
00:44:34.000First, you know what I hate aside from the stupidity of political parties refusing to dissociate from their nutjobs, running out of something I actually need, and then having to scramble to reorder it, especially when it comes to my health, because consistency is the difference maker.
00:44:46.000That's exactly why I signed up as a balance of nature preferred customer.
00:44:49.000Every 28 days, my supplements just show up at my door without me lifting a finger.
00:44:53.000No mistakes, no oh crap, I forgot to reorder moments.
00:45:15.000You get paired with your own personal health coach, not some chatbot like an actual human who checks in with you, helps you stay on track, and looks at your whole picture.
00:45:23.000Balance of nature, it's really convenient to carry around, put it right in the protein smoothie.
00:45:44.000It is not, by the way, just that the Democratic Party is doing an amazing job in recruiting nut jobs to run for office, and then burnishing them, touting them.
00:45:53.000They're also taking the only sane people left in their party and forcibly attempting to eject them.
00:45:58.000According to Axios, top Democrats in Pennsylvania are maneuvering to run against Senator John Fetterman in a 2028 primary contest, threatening to tear the party apart in the biggest battleground state in the nation.
00:46:10.000Democrats have not flipped a GOP Senate seat since Fetterman did it in 2022.
00:46:14.000He was the last Democrat to flip a Senate seat.
00:46:16.000And he remains quite popular with Pennsylvania voters.
00:46:20.000In large part because Fetterman is the only rational Democrat, apparently, who's willing to say basically rational things at this point.
00:46:27.000For example, John Fetterman said a thing that Democrats apparently are not allowed to say.
00:46:33.000He said Trump voters are not fascists and Nazis.
00:46:35.000I know this is like crazy stuff to Democrats, apparently.
00:46:38.000Here was Fetterman on News Nation saying this just the other night.
00:46:41.000I refuse to call people uh Nazis or fascists, or I would never compare anybody, anybody to Hitler and those things.
00:46:51.000And uh that kinds of extreme rhetoric is going to continue.
00:46:55.000We're going to be more likely in resulting in extreme kind of outcomes and political violence and doing all these kinds of things.
00:47:04.000I mean, like, this is just basic rationality.
00:47:07.000Fetterman also said in that same news nation interview that extremism on the Democratic side is why they lost.
00:48:08.000By the way, Fetterman was asked about this, and he pointed out that he actually is among the least Trump-aligned Democratic lawmakers in Pennsylvania.
00:48:15.000He voted with the president six percent of the time.
00:48:18.000He just takes publicly moderate positions.
00:48:20.000But when it comes to his voting record, he votes as a straight Democrat.
00:48:23.000The fact that Democrats are trying to oust him for saying bad things, meaning like saying things that are rational and reasonable, is amazing.
00:48:31.000Again, Donald Trump has won Pennsylvania twice in the last three election cycles.
00:48:36.000And what Pennsylvania keeps showing is that moderate Democrats can do okay there, but radical Democrats will not.
00:48:43.000Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, who's widely perceived as a more moderate Democrat, has a 60% job approval rating in Pennsylvania.
00:48:52.000Meanwhile, John Fetterman is clocking in at a 46% approved, 38% disapprove.
00:49:39.000Yeah, well, I I do, and that's been that's been isolating it too because look, you support Israel and the progressives don't, generally speaking.
00:49:49.000You are for a very rigorous defense against Putin in Ukraine, correct?
00:49:56.000I mean, I I would fully support I've I in fact I just thought on social media encourage uh President Trump to provide tomahawks uh to the Ukrainian.
00:50:04.000I mean, it's like he is probably the only person in the world that could end this terrible war.
00:50:10.000And uh, I I think why can't we all agree that that that's that's necessary?
00:50:21.000That's your party is against you on all three of those issues.
00:50:27.000And Bill O'Reilly is pointing out an obvious discrepancy, but the problem, of course, is that Fetterman actually is a big government Democrat.
00:50:34.000He campaigned on a sort of Medicare for All platform in Pennsylvania.
00:50:39.000Because the Democrats cannot handle moderation inside their party.
00:50:42.000Which is why Senator Tim Kane of Virginia continues to defend attorney general candidate Jay Jones after Jay Jones was caught in a text thread with a political opponent saying that he wanted the speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates murdered for being right wing.
00:51:00.000Well, and and look, the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Virginia has said some vile things, and we haven't called on her to drop out of the race.
00:51:08.000Um the voters are gonna make this decision.
00:51:11.000The Jay Jones texts were abhorrent and they are indefensible.
00:51:15.000But I also have known Jay Jones for 25 years, and I put that knowledge on a scale, and it weigh more than one really indefensible set of texts.
00:51:25.000But I'll tell you this, Jake, it's interesting to know.
00:51:28.000Jay Jones has earnestly and sincerely apologized and said he made a grievous error.
00:51:55.000The fact that they have decided this is sort of the litmus test for being a Democrat is saying that a boy is a girl.
00:52:00.000This is one of the reasons they're upset with Fetterman is because he won't say that, is truly incredible.
00:52:04.000Here, for example, is California Democratic governor candidate, Betty Yee, with Piers Morgan, explaining that transgender female athletes are women athletes, meaning like men who say they are women are women.
00:52:16.000I think transgender female athletes uh are women athletes.
00:52:24.000if you were governor of California, you would support biological males who identify as women competing in women's sport in the Olympics.
00:52:32.000They are now identified as transgender female.
00:52:39.000And you think that makes and and you think it's fair that they should then compete in women's sport.
00:52:44.000I think they should be able to compete in women's sports, but I also think that there is still some discussion about uh whether they should compete uh uh in the same field.
00:52:52.000But I just want them to be able to participate.
00:52:54.000Sure, I'm sure you're gonna be able to do that.
00:52:57.000Why do you think we separate the sexes in the Olympics?
00:53:01.000Um well, because they do come with different attributes in terms of physicality and uh you accept that we separate the sexes because men have a physical advantage over women.
00:53:12.000Uh I know about an advantage in some sports, yes, and other sports maybe not.
00:53:16.000Okay, so I guess Democrats can keep doing this, and we'll see how it works out for them.
00:53:20.000Speaking of extremism, the government shutdown continues to drag on.
00:53:25.000It seems as though there really is very little incentive for either side to come to the table at this point.
00:53:29.000Both sides seem to think that they are winning.
00:53:31.000Democrats are happy with the government shutdown because it shows that they are resistant to President Trump in some way.
00:53:37.000Republicans are saying, why exactly should we give up the victories we just won in the one big beautiful bill because you're throwing a hissy fit?
00:53:45.000According to the Wall Street Journal, both parties think they have the upper hand.
00:53:48.000Democrats and Republicans think they're on the stronger side of the argument and see little reason to budge.
00:53:52.000Both points of polling, they say shows public opinion is on their side.
00:53:56.000Republicans say they're simply trying to do what Democrats have done for decades.
00:53:59.000Pass a straightforward short term bill that continues funding at prior levels until a broader full year deal is reached.
00:54:04.000And they say Senate Democrats are being hypocritical.
00:54:06.000Democrats say they're comfortable with their message that there's a pending health care crisis and Republicans won't negotiate to fix it.
00:54:14.000Now, again, President Trump hasn't gotten deeply involved.
00:54:18.000If he feels that it's a ballast on his presidency, he'll probably get involved in some way and cut some sort of deal.
00:54:23.000But so far, doesn't seem like a lot of incentive structure here.
00:54:27.000One of the things Democrats did, of course, since 2021 is force more people onto the Obamacare coverage via gigantic subsidies.
00:54:39.000More than three quarters of Obamacare policyholders live in states that voted for Trump, according to KFF, a health research nonprofit.
00:54:46.000Republicans were united in opposing those ACA-enhanced subsidies.
00:54:51.000Democrats are betting that Republicans are going to cave because many of the people who are on these subsidies are in their states.
00:54:56.000The first ACA deadline isn't actually until November 1st.
00:55:00.000So good shot that this shutdown lasts a couple of more weeks, at least a week and a half more.
00:55:05.000Mike Johnson, Speaker of the House, he says that Democrats are making outrageous demands to reopen the government.
00:55:09.000All they have to do is just say yes, and the government reopens today.
00:55:12.000Another day of American families feeling the very real personal and economic strain of this reckless decision that our Democrat colleagues keep making.
00:55:21.000They want the United States government to remain closed, and they seem not to care about the pain that it's causing.
00:55:41.000And judging by their outrageous behavior, the Democrats appear perfectly happy to keep the political theater going while real people suffer.
00:55:50.000So, again, he ain't wrong about all of this.
00:55:55.000The truth is that when people look at shutdowns like this, all they can really think is, I don't understand anything that's going on.
00:56:01.000Why don't you just keep the government basically running?
00:56:03.000If you want to have a big fight over spending, then government shutdowns typically are not the way to do it.
00:56:07.000I've yet to see a government shutdown fight that has ended in any major serious change that radically bends the cost curve in any way.
00:56:15.000This is why Stephen A. Smith received a bunch of plaudits the other night.
00:56:18.000He was part of a news nation panel, and he got annoyed at the government shutdown because he basically said, listen, you know, you got a bunch of Congress people on the stage.
00:56:25.000They keep talking about shutdown, no shutdown.
00:56:28.000Meanwhile, the national debt is out of control.
00:56:31.000Like, why aren't you just basically decent at your jobs?
00:56:38.000Somehow, some way the taxpayers have been paying this, been throwing money because I we all look at our check and has been going to the government.
00:56:47.000And somehow, some way you're supposed to be doing something constructive and productive enough to make sure that we don't have that kind of deficit.
00:56:56.000A government shutdown is going on right now.
00:57:00.000A man has to work on DoorDash when he's really an air traffic controller.
00:57:06.000That we applaud it, and we're up here talking about how much some money is gonna cost, and the only person that don't have a check coming is him.
00:57:22.000Again, it's performative, but Stephen A is performative, and uh I enjoy Stephen A, I will say.
00:57:27.000Now, again, does that solve any of our problems?
00:57:28.000No, but it shows kind of where people are on a generic level, which is why can't you people just like do your basic job?
00:57:34.000And the answer is in reality, the real answer is the government has too much power.
00:57:38.000When the government has this much power, when the government has the ability to suck trillions of dollars out of the American public, when the government so wildly exceeds its constitutional mandate that pretty much every issue is a federal issue.
00:57:49.000Of course, you end up with 40 trillion dollars in national debt.
00:57:53.000By the way, here, I'm gonna call out again, Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania being the rational voice in the room.
00:57:59.000He is one of the people who's refusing to shut down the government.
00:58:01.000He says, listen, if we lose uh a battle, that is not a reason to shut down the government.
00:58:04.000We can always have a negotiation over overspending, you know, at the next budget bill.
00:58:10.000Here is Fetterman being a rational human.
00:58:13.000Yeah, well, I it's like that's why that's why shutting the government is is really what the Democratic Party wants to do.
00:58:20.000And I follow country then party, and it's the wrong thing for the country in a period of chaos.
00:58:26.000I refuse to vote to shut our government down.
00:58:28.000I absolutely would love to have I I would love to have a conversation about uh extending the tax credits for health care.
00:59:40.000And so um, you know, it's really been remarkable.
00:59:43.000But listen, the voyage has been amazing, and I love my father to death.
00:59:46.000He's my best friend in the entire world, and you know, I've stood by his side every single day as we went through all those things, whether it was in the business world, on The Apprentice again, or or in politics, and we didn't have any friends.
00:59:55.000I mean, Ben, you knew this better than anybody.
00:59:56.000We didn't have any friends in the political world, and we went out there and we wanted to save this country.
01:00:00.000This country was going to hell um on every front.
01:00:03.000We were losing religion, we were losing faith, we were losing the constitution, we're losing you know, First Amendment rights, we're losing second amendment rights.
01:00:09.000I mean, we were losing everything as a nation, and we went and we fought like hell against all odds.
01:00:14.000And we somehow beat the greatest political dynasty in the history of, you know, probably the last century, which was the Clintons until now.
01:00:21.000Um, and then came back to do it again despite them trying to take us out at every turn, and it's a hell of a story.
01:00:27.000Yeah, Eric, I I think one of the things that is obviously apparent about President Trump, and certainly not apparent to the legacy media, but but apparent to I think people who watch even relatively closely President Trump is how close he is with his kids.
01:00:39.000I mean, there's been a lot of slander that's thrown at the President of the United States about him personally, about how how he is and when he interacts with people, but you're one of the people who is closest with him.
01:00:48.000You've known him literally your entire life.
01:00:50.000And so tell tell us about what it is like to be, again, the president's child.
01:00:53.000Well, what is what is Donald Trump like behind the doors?
01:00:57.000He's the most charismatic guy you'll you'll ever meet.
01:01:13.000He would always add that last little one in, you know, never trust anyone.
01:01:16.000That probably benefited us pretty well in life.
01:01:18.000But, you know, he always expected us to have jobs.
01:01:20.000Listen, we're spoiled as hell, Ben, right?
01:01:22.000And in the kind of conventional way, we always had a roof over our head, we always had a great meal, we always had, you know, the the best educations.
01:01:28.000But if we wanted something, you you better damn well go out and work for it.
01:01:32.000There was no handouts in the Trump family.
01:01:33.000There was there was no, you know, Ferraris at age sixteen.
01:01:56.000And we fought together in everything we did, and when he finally told us, hey kids, we're I'm gonna run for commander in chief, you know, I'm gonna run for president, he goes, you know, uh, I'm gonna do it, but but guys, let's do it.
01:02:26.000I mean, I probably did 10 events a day every single day in every single swing state in the country.
01:02:31.000And uh we spoke from the heart and uh we did it as a family, and that that had never really been done in American history before.
01:02:38.000So, Eric, your book Under Siege is is largely about the sort of lawfare that's been used against the president and against the president's family.
01:02:45.000You personally, as you say, you may be the most obeyed person in the history of the United States.
01:02:50.000I think when people hear about the targeting of President Trump, they they they don't actually understand the cost of what lawfare means.
01:02:56.000Like what it means that everybody who is even in three hundred yards of of President Trump basically had to go hire a lawyer and then spend years dealing with with the constant pestering and horror of being dragged into a system for for no reason other than your association with the president.
01:03:12.000Can you talk about what that was like on a personal level?
01:03:16.000I mean, we spent about four hundred million dollars just defending ourselves from every single sham.
01:03:19.000I mean, start start with the Russia hoax when I get the call from the FBI saying I hear you have secret servers in the basement of Trump Tower communicating with the Kremlin.
01:03:28.000And then go to the dirty dossier where they're thinking, you know, they're they're talking about golden you know what's and prostitution that did not happen.
01:03:34.000This was paid for by Hillary Clinton, it was made up by Hillary Clinton.
01:03:37.000And then you get to impeachment number one and then Kavanaugh and what they did to him, and then you get to impeachment number two, and then you get to the weaponization of every single attorney general and district attorney in in the country, whether it be Letitia James or Alvin Bragg or Cy Vance or Jack Smith, the special counsel, or Robert Muller, right, going through and trying to do anything they can to destroy your family, destroy your life.
01:04:02.000They were raiding our homes, they raided Mar-Lago, they raided Melania's room, they raided Barron's room, they took attorney client documents.
01:04:11.000They literally leaked every single one of my father's tax returns, every one of my tax returns, every one of Don's tax returns, about the top hundred corporate employees we have in the in the Trump organization, the IRS leaked their tax returns to the New York Times.
01:04:25.000They took my father off the ballot of Maine, they took him off the ballot in Colorado.
01:04:30.000When that didn't work, they took him off of Twitter and they took him off of Facebook and they took him off of Instagram because they wanted to violate his First Amendment rights.
01:04:37.000When we opened up Truth Social, guess what the judges did?
01:04:40.000Every judge in the country in these far left jurisdictions, they put gag order on him after gag order on him.
01:05:07.000They sure as hell wanted you off that stage.
01:05:09.000They wanted Charlie Kirk off that stage.
01:05:11.000They definitely wanted my father off that stage, whether it was in a prison after 91 indictments, or if it was dead, or if it was bankrupt, or if it was embarrassed.
01:05:21.000You know, they wanted our family broken apart.
01:05:35.000You saw that with the January 6th protesters, where you had grandmothers go through the Capitol, take selfies, and they destroyed their lives.
01:05:42.000I mean, they wouldn't give them hearings for years.
01:05:48.000And so this was a this was all of our fight.
01:05:50.000This was a conservative fight to restore dignity to this country, our constitution, our American flag, our national anthem, to end wokeness, to end DEI, you know, to restore family virtue, to restore our standing on the world stage.
01:06:08.000So, you know, Eric, you you you go through all that, and I think it is an amazing exposure over the course of the last year.
01:06:15.000But I think the activity of the left is over the course of the last ten years, while your president has been at the center of all of politics and all global attention.
01:06:22.000It has exposed so many institutions as is largely rotted from the inside.
01:06:26.000And the question becomes how we actually restore credibility to a lot of these institutions.
01:06:30.000Is it even possible to restore credibility to these institutions?
01:06:33.000Because, you know, the the alternative is anarchy, but we also can't have institutions that have done to your family, to your father, and to the country what they've done over the course of the last decade.
01:07:13.000And you know who let that that lie perpetrate, not only because it allowed Hillary to get an extra three votes, you know, uh a greedy woman to get an extra three votes because that was their October surprise, as you remember from Podesta, but it gave them cover as to why a bunch of imbeciles who knew nothing about Politics who didn't know the delegate game, who didn't know what an Iowa caucus was, was able to beat the biggest political family in America at the time at their own game when they had a financial deficit of literally five to one.
01:07:43.000We funded our own campaign pretty much in 2016 versus Hillary, who raised, you know, one and a half billion dollars, right?
01:07:50.000They let that so it's hard to restore faith when over and over.
01:07:54.000When I get the call from my team at Mar a Lago saying, sir, there's 30 FBI agents who's storming Mar a Lago with a search warrant, and they're demanding that you turn off all security cameras right now.
01:08:05.000It's really hard to restore that that faith.
01:08:08.000When you have 51 intelligence officers come out and try and verify that the Russian laptop, Hunter's laptop, the laptop from hell, was Russian diff disinformation.
01:08:31.000I I mean, the these institutions have a lot of making up to do, and it's going to take them years, potentially years, to restore the faith of those institutions because they've lied to the American people, and they weaponized those institutions against the American people, time after time.
01:08:47.000My father was just the guy that was probably on the tip of the spear, you know, exposing their corruption for exactly what it was.
01:08:54.000Well, the book is under siege, My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation by Eric Trump.
01:08:58.000The Ford is by the president of the United States.
01:09:01.000Eric, really appreciate you taking the time.
01:09:03.000Thanks so much for the fight that you and your family have been waging over the course of the last decade, and good luck with the book.
