00:00:00.560 The Stone Zone, entertaining and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:00:07.700 And this is Rita Cosby filling in for my buddy Roger Stone.
00:00:12.320 By the way, I think we have a little crazy train too,
00:00:15.540 because Ozzy Osbourne, the great Ozzy Osbourne, has passed away.
00:00:20.840 I had the honor of meeting Ozzy a couple of years ago.
00:00:25.240 There he is. I think this is crazy train.
00:00:28.180 I think we're going to get a little crazy.
00:00:30.780 Roger loves rock music. That's part of the reason I love Roger.
00:00:34.160 I think we're going to get a little crazy, but that's how it goes.
00:00:59.260 We'll be right back.
00:01:29.260 I'm going up the rails on a crazy train.
00:01:34.440 Of course, part of Black Sabbath and a huge solo career.
00:01:40.020 He just did a performance earlier this month.
00:01:43.500 The legendary Ozzy Osbourne.
00:01:46.540 Of course, reality star too.
00:01:48.320 So much else.
00:01:49.560 Sadly, had a lot of ailments, a lot of health problems, Parkinson's, everything else.
00:01:54.180 Passed away.
00:01:55.100 And we just got the word a few hours ago.
00:01:57.620 He will be deeply, deeply missed.
00:02:00.360 What a colorful guy.
00:02:01.480 What an interesting guy.
00:02:03.660 And obviously, our thoughts and prayers with his family.
00:02:06.360 I've met Sharon and the family.
00:02:08.580 So this is really a sad, sad day.
00:02:11.140 And sad day in the history of rock and roll too.
00:02:13.880 He will be deeply, deeply missed.
00:02:15.960 Well, today also, we're talking about, obviously, Ghislaine Maxwell, who is now going to be meeting with the Deputy Attorney General of the United States, Todd Blanche, President Trump's former attorney.
00:02:29.480 We saw him in a lot of those legal cases, all the lawfare against President Trump.
00:02:33.920 And also, in the middle of all this, one of the other big stories is Mahmoud Khalil.
00:02:40.420 He is the Columbia University activist.
00:02:44.420 This is the guy who is leading all of these different protests, especially the big one there, as we know, on Columbia University campus.
00:02:52.440 Remember, they were holed up for a long, long time there at the campus.
00:02:58.380 Remember, they had to bring the police in and to try to break it up.
00:03:01.960 That's not legal.
00:03:03.040 Also, making Jewish students feel uncomfortable on campus, which, boy, many of them did.
00:03:08.820 They felt so threatened.
00:03:10.340 That is not allowed.
00:03:12.340 That's not appropriate.
00:03:14.440 And yet, Mahmoud Khalil, remember, first he was arrested.
00:03:18.400 They said, listen, you have a green card, and you are staying in America at the pleasure of the United States.
00:03:24.520 And what you're espousing, essentially, is against American interests.
00:03:28.180 You're going up against one of America's greatest allies.
00:03:30.820 You are creating trouble on college campuses and elsewhere.
00:03:35.740 And he's an Algerian citizen with a green card.
00:03:39.600 As I mentioned, he was being held in a Louisiana jail for some time.
00:03:43.420 Then they were going through the case, and then a rogue judge said, nope, you've got to put him out while this case is being heard.
00:03:51.060 So that's the latest.
00:03:52.420 He walked out like a hero with his fans that are also anti-Israel.
00:03:58.400 And of all things, I can't believe this.
00:04:03.000 Mahmoud Khalil, today, he's out there on CNN.
00:04:06.180 He's out there on Capitol Hill meeting with different lawmakers.
00:04:10.280 And he couldn't wait to say it's time to put the heat on the Trump administration.
00:04:15.500 He's not saying he's grateful that he's out.
00:04:19.080 He's grateful to be in America.
00:04:21.100 I'd love to hear that.
00:04:22.840 I'd love to hear somebody like him say, America is the greatest country in the world, and we need to abide by their laws and respect America and not cause division and not create fear in the eyes of other students, Jewish or non-Jews.
00:04:39.040 I mean, this is crazy, but no, what does he do?
00:04:42.760 He goes on CNN to announce that he is suing the Trump administration for $20 million because he says they need to now feel the pressure.
00:04:55.200 Let me get this straight.
00:04:56.580 He's the guy who was with a group that was all holed up.
00:05:01.700 There are janitors who say that they were held hostage.
00:05:04.280 They caused a lot of damage to Hamilton Hall, caused a lot of fear and terror.
00:05:10.200 Other colleges across the country saw what was going on, and they felt emboldened.
00:05:15.180 And this guy's now suing the Trump administration.
00:05:19.260 That's called Cajones. 0.53
00:05:21.040 Here it is.
00:05:22.480 I know you filed, Mahmoud, a $20 million claim against the Trump administration,
00:05:28.000 alleging you were falsely imprisoned in dehumanizing conditions and maliciously prosecuted.
00:05:34.640 What are you hoping to achieve with this filing?
00:05:38.880 Simply, I'm hoping to achieve accountability because there should be accountability for such overreach.
00:05:46.100 The Trump administration should feel the heat of their actions, and they can't just simply kidnap people from the streets
00:05:56.060 and throw them in jails in Louisiana, 1,400 miles away.
00:06:02.860 It's simply accountability.
00:06:04.520 I'm not sure that this doesn't happen to others.
00:06:09.500 To set a precedent that there should be accountability, that this administration is not just immune to accountability.
00:06:20.780 First of all, they're not just kidnapping people off the streets.
00:06:23.720 The guy was sitting there with a megaphone, and the group was talking about river to the sea.
00:06:29.520 In other words, let's annihilate the Jewish population. 1.00
00:06:32.760 This was not somebody sitting out there singing, you know, I love America, I love the world,
00:06:41.180 and this guy is out there and has the audacity to right now go after the Trump administration.
00:06:46.960 They better not pay him a dime, and I'm sure the Trump administration will not do that.
00:06:52.920 Also, it sends such a dangerous message, and these rogue judges that are releasing people haphazardly saying,
00:06:59.640 oh, this is not fair, this is not appropriate.
00:07:03.060 Granted, he is, I guess, I would assume, not allowed to really travel, at least outside of the United States.
00:07:10.020 But I hope he loses his case, and I hope it sends a message.
00:07:13.840 But this is all this sort of death by, you know, lawfare.
00:07:18.700 The sense of let's slow down the process.
00:07:21.920 Because remember, the Trump administration, you know, arrested him,
00:07:25.760 said we're going to send a message to try to clamp down on all these other horrible hate-filled protests.
00:07:31.180 This is not First Amendment.
00:07:32.840 This is hate.
00:07:33.920 This is spreading fear.
00:07:36.040 But what it is doing is because they have to go back and forth on all the legislative stuff,
00:07:40.300 it's delaying the process, and that's the whole point of it.
00:07:43.820 Whether it succeeds or not at the end of the day, now they have delayed it by months, if not years,
00:07:49.600 and they just want to run out the clock.
00:07:51.560 Look, that's why all these rogue judges are still trying, despite the ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court,
00:07:57.460 a lot of them are still trying to do whatever they can to stop the Trump agenda,
00:08:01.720 so they could say, look, he didn't do this.
00:08:03.780 Look, a judge blocked this.
00:08:05.640 It's just to run out the clock.
00:08:08.820 And then here's, this is interesting, Mahmoud Khalil, again,
00:08:12.040 this is the organizer of the Columbia University protests.
00:08:16.060 He's on CNN today, again, like he's a hero or something.
00:08:20.880 And he would not condemn Hamas. 0.53
00:08:26.320 He would not condemn Hamas. 0.98
00:08:27.940 Hamas is a ruthless, disgusting terrorist group.
00:08:31.700 And to me, this is absolutely disgraceful.
00:08:35.840 Listen to what Mahmoud Khalil wouldn't say when he was talking to CNN today.
00:08:41.580 Just to be clear here, though, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States,
00:08:48.940 not just for their actions on October 7th?
00:08:51.700 I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop.
00:08:57.220 But what I don't want to get into is, no, I am very clear with condemning all civilians. 1.00
00:09:05.160 I'm very straight in my position in that part.
00:09:11.080 But it's disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel.
00:09:17.440 It's not condemning October 6th, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel before October 7th.
00:09:25.160 So I hate this selective outrage of condemnation, because this wouldn't lead to a constructive conversation.
00:09:37.160 And this is also like what we want to deal with is the root causes of why that happened.
00:09:43.440 And it's in no way anyone can justify the killing of civilians.
00:09:45.740 Just to be clear, just to be clear, Mahmoud, we did ask about, you know, we've talked at length about your views, of course, on the Palestinians.
00:09:52.200 But it is fair to ask you about whether you condemn Hamas, because the Trump administration has claimed that you are Hamas' sympathizer.
00:10:00.040 So it's very important to actually ask that question in this broad conversation.
00:10:05.160 Yeah, I simply asked and protested the war in Palestine.
00:10:12.340 He would not condemn Hamas. 0.98
00:10:15.740 At least I didn't hear it there.
00:10:17.900 I mean, if you listen to it, it's not a trick question.
00:10:20.960 Will you condemn a group that was responsible for raping and beheading people on October 7th?
00:10:28.300 Will you condemn a group that continues to want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth?
00:10:33.920 And he's making excuses.
00:10:36.700 I mean, this is an unbelievable moment.
00:10:39.320 And that's why somebody like him, I believe his activities are dangerous.
00:10:44.520 That's my opinion.
00:10:45.740 I think his activities are extraordinarily dangerous.
00:10:49.360 And you know who he reminds me of?
00:10:51.360 He reminds me of Zoran Mandami, who was running for mayor in New York City.
00:10:57.400 Because he just came out the other day and said he's not going to use the phrase global intifada anymore now.
00:11:05.020 Not because he necessarily thinks it's bad, but because some people told him it's bad.
00:11:10.300 So it doesn't really even sound like he's condemning it.
00:11:12.920 He's just suggesting people don't use it.
00:11:15.040 But he's also got the general election and he's running for mayor in an enormous Jewish population of New York City.
00:11:23.500 It's the biggest amount of Jews in the world outside of Israel.
00:11:27.520 So it's pretty obvious what he's doing.
00:11:30.420 He's trying to like dance and weave and bob.
00:11:32.520 But there's a new video out that also has him talking about Zionists left and right.
00:11:37.440 The Zionists, the this, the this, the this. 0.98
00:11:39.860 That is Zoran Mandami right now who's in Uganda.
00:11:45.040 And listen to him dodge and weave.
00:11:47.280 This to me is really disgraceful.
00:11:48.980 And it reminds me of what we just heard there from Mahmoud Khalil.
00:11:53.440 It's like these guys are two peas in a pod.
00:11:55.500 And I think they met.
00:11:56.280 I think they even hung out together.
00:11:58.240 If I remember, I heard recently, I think there's a picture of the two of them hanging out.
00:12:02.220 I thought I saw a report like that.
00:12:04.020 That wouldn't surprise me.
00:12:05.560 Maybe a Mahmoud will go on the campaign trail with Zoran Mandami. 0.96
00:12:10.800 Maybe he'll be his deputy mayor.
00:12:12.820 How's that?
00:12:14.060 What do you think of that, guys?
00:12:15.280 Wow.
00:12:16.040 1-800-848-9222.
00:12:19.040 1-800-848-9222.
00:12:22.080 And this is Rita Cosby in for Roger Stone.
00:12:25.340 And this is why it's so dangerous.
00:12:27.500 These people are dancing and weaving with the words.
00:12:31.080 You just heard Mahmoud Khalil dancing and weaving with the words.
00:12:35.580 Here is Zoran Mandami again, who is the leader in the race right now for New York City mayor.
00:12:43.540 And he is weaving, dodging, bobbing, twisting, turning on the words when he's asked about Globalize the Intifada.
00:12:52.100 At least one of those meetings, you said that you would discourage the use of the slogan, Globalize the Intifada.
00:12:57.900 And I know you've been asked about this a million times.
00:12:59.980 Let me just throw in my two cents.
00:13:01.540 I was actually in Israel for the first time during the second Intifada.
00:13:05.240 It was a traumatic, horrible, violent time.
00:13:07.660 You could see where storefronts had been blown out.
00:13:10.740 You had to open your bags everywhere.
00:13:13.140 There was a lot of tension.
00:13:14.140 The streets were deserted, streets that were normally lively.
00:13:16.440 We know, and it lasted for years, that thousands of people, both Palestinians and Israelis, died before they got some kind of a treaty to sort of dial back some of the violence.
00:13:26.820 It was just a horrible, horrible time.
00:13:28.800 And as you know, as you've heard, a lot of people are traumatized by that word.
00:13:33.520 It brings back a lot of really, really bad memories.
00:13:35.940 I was just a visitor, but there are people who have lived with much worse.
00:13:38.440 Obviously, as part of your job as mayor, you would need to sort of dial back the temperature, bring people together.
00:13:45.540 Where are we now in that conversation?
00:13:48.160 And what else might you want to say about that particular phrase?
00:13:52.420 You know, Errol, I've thought about this quite a lot.
00:13:55.640 And for some New Yorkers, this phrase is one that refers to civil disobedience and protests,
00:14:02.800 a call to end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.
00:14:05.720 But I know that for many Jewish New Yorkers, it brings to mind images of the like that you are speaking of.
00:14:12.440 I was sitting with a rabbi not too long ago who told me how the same phrase is heard very differently by her.
00:14:18.480 And it's heard as a reference to bus bombings in Haifa, restaurant attacks in Jerusalem,
00:14:25.020 and engenders a fear in her and in others of the possibility of those very attacks coming home here in New York City.
00:14:32.140 And that distance between what some intend and what others hear is a bridge that is too far.
00:14:38.880 And it is why I have not used the phrase, and it is why I discourage its use.
00:14:43.840 And my focus is on building a movement for justice and equality.
00:14:47.860 And as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, I think often of the words of Noy Katzman,
00:14:54.220 who lost their brother in the horrific war crime of October 7th.
00:14:58.540 And Noy said, we must believe in all life, Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and Arab,
00:15:07.720 that it is equally precious.
00:15:09.300 And that is the vision that I hope to fulfill.
00:15:11.100 That, to me, is a bunch of hogwash.
00:15:15.040 Did that make sense to anybody?
00:15:17.160 The answer is, it's inappropriate.
00:15:19.860 I never should have used it.
00:15:22.880 It's distasteful and it's disgusting.
00:15:25.500 And I obviously need a better education to appreciate the Jewish population.
00:15:31.120 And I'm embarrassed that I was out there saying it,
00:15:34.060 and I hope it wasn't provocative to people.
00:15:37.100 He didn't go there at all.
00:15:38.240 He just said, to some people it says this and others.
00:15:40.440 That, to me, is really scary.
00:15:43.300 And it's just like the defiance that we just heard from Mahmoud Khalil, 0.56
00:15:48.200 who refused to condemn Hamas.
00:15:52.200 It's two peas in a pod.
00:15:54.180 We're going to take your calls when we come back.

00:16:40.340 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:16:43.360 And this is Rita Cosby.
00:16:45.200 In for Roger Stone tonight,
00:16:47.700 we are talking about Mahmoud Khalil,
00:16:51.160 Zoran Mondami,
00:16:52.520 the defiance of these people,
00:16:55.200 and the word salad that they try to spew on the public.
00:16:58.780 One saying,
00:17:00.120 I'm not going to use the phrase globalize the intifada.
00:17:02.880 The other one saying,
00:17:04.140 you know what?
00:17:05.100 I won't condemn the phrase Hamas.
00:17:08.120 Are you kidding me?
00:17:09.220 It's not a trick question, guys.
00:17:11.500 1-800-848-9222.
00:17:15.520 Let's go to Joan in Long Island on line three.
00:17:18.620 Go ahead, Joan.
00:17:19.280 What do you think?
00:17:20.900 Hi, Rita.
00:17:21.480 How are you doing?
00:17:22.140 I've been nice.
00:17:22.780 Thank you for taking my call.
00:17:24.300 What I see is a lot of times our media,
00:17:27.000 our newspapers,
00:17:28.340 or any journalism area,
00:17:31.420 these people are getting the media.
00:17:33.480 If we turned our back on them
00:17:35.080 and didn't give them the attention,
00:17:37.000 they have no way to dispute their actual hate
00:17:40.200 out into the world.
00:17:41.600 And that's exactly what they're doing.
00:17:43.240 And we're allowing them to do the wordplay.
00:17:45.580 And then we actually elect these people
00:17:47.920 into our own government,
00:17:50.040 which makes me absolutely nauseous to no end
00:17:54.280 because they do not want freedom.
00:17:56.280 They're here to gut America from the inside out. 0.98
00:17:59.780 And I'm really saddened that a lot of Americans
00:18:02.460 can't see what they've been doing to us
00:18:05.760 for the last 20 and 30 years.
00:18:08.420 This is all building to destruction.
00:18:10.560 And they can't see it.
00:18:11.980 They can't feel it.
00:18:12.860 Your rights are being taken away
00:18:14.900 while they are getting more and more rights
00:18:17.720 and getting more and more seats
00:18:19.480 in our government and everywhere we look.
00:18:22.740 You know, Joan, I think you're bringing up
00:18:24.600 some great points because,
00:18:26.320 first off, I agree.
00:18:28.500 Unfortunately, a lot of them
00:18:30.480 are getting a lot of attention,
00:18:32.340 especially Mondami here in New York City.
00:18:36.220 And you're right.
00:18:36.740 It's part of a very big, troubling national trend.
00:18:39.540 There's also a guy running for mayor
00:18:41.220 in Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
00:18:43.980 And you're like, what?
00:18:45.100 I mean, he looks like Mondami Jr.
00:18:48.120 And you just hear the rhetoric from him.
00:18:50.560 And I said it sort of facetiously earlier,
00:18:54.500 but in many ways, it's kind of true.
00:18:57.040 I feel like he should be running for mayor of Gaza,
00:18:59.780 not mayor of the Big Apple.
00:19:02.280 I mean, with the kind of values that he's saying.
00:19:05.460 And, you know, Joan, it's shocking to me.
00:19:07.820 I'm a first-generation American.
00:19:09.040 I mean, my father was rescued by American troops
00:19:12.240 and he saw the greatest thing in the world
00:19:14.540 and it was an American flag.
00:19:16.480 And that's how he knew he was free.
00:19:19.320 And so I came from a home where, you know,
00:19:21.360 you could not thank this country enough
00:19:24.020 and appreciate this country enough.
00:19:26.040 And to see a lot of these people
00:19:28.520 and stirring up a lot of other people
00:19:32.160 to have the same values
00:19:34.160 and the fact that they won't condemn Hamas.
00:19:38.820 And even, you know, Zoran Mandani,
00:19:41.300 when he was asked, you just heard that interview
00:19:43.400 just a couple days ago,
00:19:44.980 said, I'm not going to use the phrase global intifada
00:19:47.820 because some people construe it.
00:19:50.360 Well, I don't think, you're not two years old.
00:19:53.740 You know what it means.
00:19:55.280 You know it's something horrible.
00:19:56.600 And he continues to spew it.
00:19:58.280 He gives the finger to Italians.
00:20:00.980 He goes after the Jewish people.
00:20:03.600 He's talked about defunding the police.
00:20:05.780 He's talked about getting rid of jails.
00:20:09.000 This is like mayhem.
00:20:11.000 Very dangerous.
00:20:12.480 You guys, I'll be back at 10 p.m.
00:20:14.840 Have a great night, everybody.
00:20:16.600 And I'll see you at 10 p.m.
00:20:17.760 on the Rita Cosby Show.
00:20:24.260 The Stone Zone.
00:20:26.220 Entertaining and informative.
00:20:28.000 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:20:31.280 And this is Rita Cosby filling in for my buddy Roger Stone.
00:20:35.960 By the way, I think we have a little crazy train, too,
00:20:39.160 because Ozzy Osbourne, the great Ozzy Osbourne,
00:20:43.400 has passed away.
00:20:44.460 I had the honor of meeting Ozzy a couple years ago.
00:20:49.140 There he is.
00:20:50.340 I think this is crazy train.
00:20:52.440 I think we're going to get a little crazy.
00:20:54.400 Roger loves rock music.
00:20:56.060 That's part of the reason I love Roger.
00:20:58.000 We'll do it again.
00:20:58.860 We'll see you next time.
00:21:00.800 See you next time.
00:21:17.080 Crazy
00:21:19.080 But that's how it goes
00:21:23.080 Millions of people
00:21:27.180 Living the soul
00:21:29.680 Maybe
00:21:33.000 It's not too late
00:21:36.960 Learn how to love
00:21:41.060 And forget how to play
00:21:43.660 Mental wounds
00:21:47.680 Not healing
00:21:49.760 Life's a big escape
00:21:51.840 I'm going up the rails
00:21:55.840 On a crazy train
00:21:57.760 Of course, part of
00:21:59.640 Black Sabbath and a huge
00:22:01.920 solo career
00:22:03.020 He just did a performance earlier
00:22:05.640 this month
00:22:06.680 The legendary Ozzy Osbourne
00:22:10.060 Of course, reality star too
00:22:11.800 So much else, sadly had a lot
00:22:13.840 Of ailments, a lot of health problems
00:22:15.420 Parkinson's, everything else
00:22:17.320 Passed away and we just got the word
00:22:19.980 A few hours ago
00:22:21.120 He will be deeply, deeply missed
00:22:23.900 What a colorful guy, what an interesting
00:22:25.940 Guy
00:22:26.540 And obviously our thoughts and prayers with his family
00:22:29.820 I've met Sharon and the family
00:22:31.660 So this is really a sad
00:22:33.980 Sad day and sad day
00:22:35.520 In the history of rock and roll too
00:22:37.440 He will be deeply, deeply missed
00:22:39.600 Well today also we're talking about
00:22:42.180 Obviously Ghislaine Maxwell 0.81
00:22:43.780 Who is now going to be meeting
00:22:45.780 With the Deputy Attorney General
00:22:48.840 Of the United States
00:22:49.880 Todd Blanche
00:22:50.720 President Trump's former attorney
00:22:52.980 We saw him in a lot of those legal cases
00:22:54.780 All the lawfare
00:22:55.740 Against President Trump
00:22:57.560 And also in the middle of all this
00:23:00.300 One of the other big stories
00:23:01.660 Is Mahmoud Khalil
00:23:03.620 He is the Columbia University activist
00:23:07.420 This is the guy who was leading
00:23:09.580 All of these different protests
00:23:11.460 Especially the big one there
00:23:13.020 As we know on Columbia University campus
00:23:15.860 Remember they were holed up
00:23:17.700 For a long, long time
00:23:20.180 There at the campus
00:23:21.900 Remember they had to bring the police in
00:23:23.840 And to try to break it up
00:23:25.300 That's not legal
00:23:26.740 Also making Jewish students 0.99
00:23:29.120 Feel uncomfortable on campus
00:23:30.800 Which boy, many of them did
00:23:32.380 They felt so threatened
00:23:33.460 That is not allowed
00:23:35.540 That's not appropriate
00:23:37.360 And yet Mahmoud Khalil
00:23:39.480 Remember first he was arrested
00:23:41.500 They said listen
00:23:42.520 You have a green card
00:23:43.540 And you are staying in America 0.99
00:23:45.160 At the pleasure of the United States
00:23:47.680 And what you're espousing
00:23:49.400 Essentially is against American interests
00:23:51.660 You're going up against
00:23:52.900 One of America's greatest allies
00:23:54.460 You are creating trouble
00:23:56.580 On college campuses and elsewhere
00:23:58.580 And he's an Algerian citizen
00:24:01.780 With a green card as I mentioned
00:24:03.920 He was being held in a Louisiana jail
00:24:06.200 For some time
00:24:07.040 Then they were going through the case
00:24:09.040 And then a rogue judge said
00:24:11.640 Nope, you've got to put him out
00:24:13.200 While this case is being heard
00:24:14.600 So that's the latest
00:24:15.680 He walked out like a hero
00:24:18.160 With his fans that are also anti-Israel
00:24:22.100 And of all things
00:24:24.020 I can't believe this
00:24:25.600 Mahmoud Khalil today
00:24:28.200 He's out there on CNN
00:24:29.540 He's out there on Capitol Hill
00:24:31.380 Meeting with different lawmakers
00:24:33.540 And he couldn't wait to say
00:24:35.700 It's time to put the heat
00:24:37.180 On the Trump administration
00:24:38.840 He's not saying he's grateful
00:24:40.680 That he's out
00:24:42.260 He's grateful to be in America
00:24:44.740 I'd love to hear that
00:24:46.080 I'd love to hear somebody like him say
00:24:48.320 America is the greatest country in the world
00:24:51.080 And we need to abide by their laws
00:24:53.720 And respect America
00:24:54.980 And not cause division
00:24:56.140 And not create fear
00:24:58.680 In the eyes of other students
00:25:01.200 Jewish or non-Jews
00:25:02.700 I mean, this is crazy
00:25:04.240 But no
00:25:04.960 What does he do?
00:25:06.400 He goes on CNN
00:25:07.560 To announce
00:25:08.620 That he is suing
00:25:10.740 The Trump administration
00:25:11.980 For $20 million
00:25:13.960 Because he says
00:25:15.940 They need to now feel the pressure
00:25:18.440 Let me get this straight
00:25:19.860 He's the guy
00:25:21.080 Who was with a group
00:25:22.640 That was all holed up
00:25:24.140 There are janitors
00:25:26.280 Who say that they were held hostage
00:25:27.920 They caused a lot of damage
00:25:29.920 To Hamilton Hall
00:25:31.300 Caused a lot of fear and terror
00:25:33.600 Other colleges across the country
00:25:35.600 Saw what was going on
00:25:36.720 And they felt emboldened
00:25:38.120 And this guy's now
00:25:40.320 Suing the Trump administration
00:25:42.720 That's called Cajones
00:25:43.940 Here it is
00:25:45.480 I know you filed
00:25:47.540 Mahmoud
00:25:48.120 A $20 million claim
00:25:50.200 Against the Trump administration
00:25:51.640 Alleging you were falsely imprisoned
00:25:53.820 In dehumanizing conditions
00:25:55.920 And maliciously prosecuted
00:25:57.960 What are you hoping to achieve
00:25:59.560 With this filing?
00:26:02.560 Simply
00:26:03.200 I'm hoping to achieve accountability
00:26:04.980 Because there should be accountability
00:26:07.240 For such
00:26:08.100 For such overreach
00:26:09.760 The Trump administration
00:26:11.440 Should feel the heat
00:26:12.560 Of their actions
00:26:14.920 And they can't just simply
00:26:17.640 Kidnap people from the streets
00:26:19.720 And throw them
00:26:20.420 In jails
00:26:22.120 In Louisiana
00:26:23.460 1,400 miles away
00:26:26.040 It's simply accountability
00:26:27.860 I'm sure that
00:26:30.600 This doesn't happen
00:26:32.420 To others
00:26:33.160 To set a precedent
00:26:34.160 That there should be accountability
00:26:37.040 That this administration
00:26:39.140 Is not just immune
00:26:40.580 To accountability
00:26:42.680 First of all
00:26:45.100 They're not just
00:26:45.600 Kidnapping people
00:26:46.480 Off the streets
00:26:47.260 The guy was sitting there
00:26:48.240 With a megaphone
00:26:49.400 And the group
00:26:50.360 Was talking about
00:26:51.660 River to the sea
00:26:53.060 In other words
00:26:53.660 Let's annihilate
00:26:54.700 The Jewish population
00:26:56.420 This was not
00:26:57.900 Somebody sitting out there
00:26:59.620 Singing
00:26:59.980 You know
00:27:00.520 I love America
00:27:02.680 I love the world
00:27:04.360 And this guy
00:27:05.400 Is out there
00:27:06.080 And has the audacity
00:27:07.400 To right now
00:27:08.520 Go after the Trump administration
00:27:10.260 They better not pay him
00:27:12.060 A dime
00:27:12.840 And I'm sure
00:27:13.560 The Trump administration
00:27:14.600 Will not do that
00:27:16.060 Also
00:27:16.960 It sends such a dangerous message
00:27:19.600 And these rogue judges
00:27:20.900 That are releasing people
00:27:22.240 Haphazardly saying
00:27:23.280 Oh this is not fair
00:27:24.620 This is not appropriate
00:27:26.200 Granted he is
00:27:27.360 I guess
00:27:28.140 I would assume
00:27:29.060 Not allowed to really travel
00:27:30.760 At least outside
00:27:31.800 Of the United States
00:27:33.020 But
00:27:33.960 I hope he loses his case
00:27:35.680 And I hope it sends a message
00:27:37.260 But this is all
00:27:38.280 This sort of death
00:27:39.140 By you know
00:27:41.080 Lawfare
00:27:41.840 The sense of
00:27:43.040 Let's slow down
00:27:44.340 The process
00:27:45.220 Because remember
00:27:46.380 The Trump administration
00:27:47.560 You know
00:27:48.280 Arrested him
00:27:49.400 Said we're going to send
00:27:50.340 A message
00:27:50.740 To try to clamp down
00:27:51.940 On all these other
00:27:52.760 Horrible
00:27:53.260 Hate filled protests
00:27:54.540 This is not
00:27:55.280 First amendment
00:27:55.980 This is hate
00:27:57.220 This is spreading fear
00:27:58.700 But what it is doing
00:28:00.860 Is because they have to
00:28:01.740 Go back and forth
00:28:02.560 On all the legislative stuff
00:28:03.860 It's delaying the process
00:28:05.240 And that's the whole point
00:28:06.320 Of it
00:28:06.660 Whether it succeeds
00:28:08.500 Are not at the end
00:28:09.360 Of the day
00:28:09.840 Now they have delayed it
00:28:11.200 By months
00:28:12.140 If not years
00:28:12.920 And they just want
00:28:14.140 To run out the clock
00:28:15.200 That's why all these
00:28:16.360 Rogue judges
00:28:17.000 Are still trying
00:28:17.860 Despite the ruling
00:28:18.820 From the U.S. Supreme Court
00:28:20.420 A lot of them
00:28:21.660 Are still trying
00:28:22.280 To do whatever they can
00:28:23.500 To stop the Trump agenda
00:28:25.360 So they could say
00:28:26.140 Look he didn't do this
00:28:27.320 Look a judge blocked this
00:28:28.920 It's just to run
00:28:30.240 Out the clock
00:28:31.580 And then
00:28:32.780 Here's this is interesting
00:28:34.060 Mahmoud Khalil
00:28:35.280 Again this is the organizer
00:28:36.740 Of the Columbia University
00:28:38.160 Protests
00:28:38.960 He's on CNN today
00:28:41.500 Again like
00:28:42.660 Like he's a hero
00:28:43.740 Or something
00:28:44.400 And he would not
00:28:47.320 Condemn Hamas 0.92
00:28:49.100 He would not
00:28:50.580 Condemn Hamas 0.92
00:28:51.420 Hamas is a ruthless
00:28:52.740 Disgusting terrorist group
00:28:54.600 And to me
00:28:55.860 This is absolutely
00:28:57.360 Disgraceful
00:28:58.780 Listen to what
00:29:00.540 Mahmoud Khalil
00:29:01.700 Wouldn't say
00:29:02.740 When he was talking
00:29:03.880 To CNN today
00:29:05.240 Just to be clear here
00:29:06.620 Do you specifically
00:29:07.840 Condemn Hamas 0.92
00:29:09.020 A designated
00:29:09.800 Terrorist organization
00:29:10.780 In the United States
00:29:12.260 Not just for their
00:29:13.760 Actions on October 7th
00:29:15.240 I condemn
00:29:16.080 The killing
00:29:16.620 Of all civilians
00:29:19.100 Full stop
00:29:19.820 But what I
00:29:21.860 Don't want to
00:29:22.980 Get into
00:29:23.540 Is 0.88
00:29:23.880 No I
00:29:25.640 I am very clear
00:29:27.400 With condemning
00:29:28.240 All civilians
00:29:28.820 I'm very
00:29:29.560 Straight in my position
00:29:31.460 In that
00:29:32.280 Part
00:29:33.240 Part
00:29:34.560 But it's
00:29:35.560 Disingenuous
00:29:36.240 To ask about
00:29:36.940 Condemning Hamas
00:29:37.860 While Palestinians 1.00
00:29:38.920 Are the ones
00:29:39.460 Being starved
00:29:40.100 Now by Israel 0.97
00:29:40.800 It's not
00:29:42.040 Condemning October 6th
00:29:43.260 Where 260 Palestinians 0.92
00:29:45.380 Were killed
00:29:45.940 By Israel
00:29:46.980 Before October 7th
00:29:48.840 So I hate
00:29:50.480 This selective
00:29:51.240 Outrage
00:29:52.800 Of condemnation
00:29:53.720 Because this is not
00:29:54.680 This wouldn't lead
00:29:56.060 Wouldn't lead
00:29:57.100 To
00:29:57.460 A constructive
00:29:59.140 Conversation
00:29:59.940 And this is
00:30:01.300 Also like
00:30:01.980 What we want
00:30:02.420 To deal with
00:30:02.820 Is the root
00:30:03.520 Causes
00:30:03.900 Of why
00:30:05.100 That happened
00:30:05.840 And
00:30:07.060 It's in no way
00:30:08.240 Anyone can
00:30:08.860 Just to be clear
00:30:09.840 Just to be clear
00:30:10.840 Mahmoud
00:30:11.520 We did ask
00:30:12.540 About
00:30:12.800 You know
00:30:13.280 We've talked
00:30:13.680 At length
00:30:14.020 About your
00:30:14.440 Views
00:30:14.880 Of course
00:30:15.220 On the
00:30:15.460 Palestinians
00:30:15.860 But it is
00:30:16.420 Fair to ask
00:30:16.960 You about
00:30:17.360 Whether you
00:30:18.200 Condem
00:30:18.460 Hamas 0.96
00:30:18.800 Because
00:30:19.100 The Trump
00:30:19.680 Administration
00:30:20.180 Has claimed
00:30:21.080 That you are
00:30:22.100 Hamas 0.96
00:30:22.600 Sympathizer
00:30:23.460 So it's
00:30:24.020 Very important
00:30:24.660 To actually
00:30:25.200 Ask that
00:30:25.660 Question
00:30:26.020 In this
00:30:26.360 Broad
00:30:26.620 Conversation
00:30:27.360 Yeah
00:30:29.040 I simply
00:30:30.060 I simply
00:30:30.980 Asked
00:30:31.840 And protested
00:30:32.960 The war
00:30:33.820 In
00:30:34.100 Palestine
00:30:35.000 He would
00:30:36.720 Not
00:30:37.120 Condemn
00:30:37.940 Hamas 0.96
00:30:38.780 At least
00:30:39.820 I didn't
00:30:40.180 Hear it
00:30:40.580 There
00:30:40.880 I mean
00:30:41.760 If you
00:30:42.040 Listen to
00:30:42.600 It
00:30:42.760 It's not
00:30:43.520 A trick
00:30:43.900 Question
00:30:44.360 Will you
00:30:44.980 Condemn
00:30:45.860 A group
00:30:46.520 That was
00:30:47.340 Responsible
00:30:48.120 For raping
00:30:49.120 And beheading
00:30:49.880 People
00:30:50.200 On October
00:30:50.920 7th
00:30:51.940 Will you
00:30:52.260 Condemn
00:30:52.660 A group
00:30:53.200 That continues
00:30:54.300 To want
00:30:54.780 To wipe
00:30:55.260 Israel
00:30:55.660 Off the
00:30:56.040 Face
00:30:56.400 Of the
00:30:56.840 Earth
00:30:57.140 And he's
00:30:58.280 Making
00:30:58.560 Excuses
00:30:59.560 I mean
00:31:00.580 This is
00:31:01.020 An
00:31:01.260 Unbelievable
00:31:02.020 Moment
00:31:02.960 And that's
00:31:03.820 Why
00:31:04.260 Somebody
00:31:04.960 Like him
00:31:05.660 I believe
00:31:06.300 His activities
00:31:06.980 Are dangerous
00:31:07.720 That's my
00:31:08.600 Opinion
00:31:09.140 I think
00:31:10.000 His activities
00:31:10.580 Are extraordinarily
00:31:11.620 Dangerous
00:31:12.560 And you know
00:31:13.360 Who he
00:31:13.780 Reminds me
00:31:14.480 Of
00:31:14.720 He reminds
00:31:15.740 Me of
00:31:16.280 Zoran
00:31:16.840 Mandami
00:31:17.520 Who was
00:31:18.280 Running
00:31:18.740 For mayor
00:31:19.880 In New
00:31:20.420 York City
00:31:21.040 Because
00:31:22.140 He just
00:31:22.940 Came out
00:31:23.300 The other
00:31:23.620 Day
00:31:23.820 And said
00:31:24.000 He's
00:31:24.160 Not
00:31:24.400 Going
00:31:24.540 To
00:31:24.660 Use
00:31:25.000 The phrase
00:31:25.520 Global
00:31:25.960 Intifada
00:31:26.840 Anymore
00:31:27.500 Now
00:31:27.980 Not
00:31:29.080 Because
00:31:29.420 He
00:31:29.640 Necessarily
00:31:30.380 Thinks
00:31:30.780 It's
00:31:30.980 Bad
00:31:31.320 But
00:31:31.500 Because
00:31:31.740 Some
00:31:31.940 People
00:31:32.180 Told
00:31:32.580 Him
00:31:32.760 It's
00:31:32.980 Bad
00:31:33.380 So
00:31:34.380 It doesn't
00:31:34.720 Really
00:31:34.900 Even
00:31:35.140 Sound like
00:31:35.520 He's
00:31:35.900 Condemning
00:31:36.440 It
00:31:36.560 He's
00:31:36.720 Just
00:31:36.880 Suggesting
00:31:37.560 People
00:31:37.820 Don't
00:31:38.160 Use
00:31:38.460 It
00:31:38.680 But
00:31:39.180 But
00:31:39.200 But
00:31:39.220 He's
00:31:39.400 Got
00:31:40.080 The
00:31:40.260 General
00:31:40.680 Election
00:31:41.240 And
00:31:41.580 He's
00:31:41.760 Running
00:31:42.040 For
00:31:42.300 Mayor
00:31:42.660 In
00:31:43.240 An
00:31:43.440 Enormous
00:31:44.540 Jewish
00:31:45.260 Population
00:31:46.040 Of
00:31:46.340 New
00:31:46.540 York
00:31:46.840 City
00:31:47.160 It's
00:31:47.460 The
00:31:47.620 Biggest
00:31:47.980 Amount
00:31:48.280 Of
00:31:48.480 Jews
00:31:49.080 In
00:31:49.260 The
00:31:49.380 World
00:31:49.620 Outside
00:31:50.020 Of
00:31:50.280 Israel
00:31:50.700 So
00:31:51.620 It's
00:31:52.300 Pretty
00:31:52.500 Obvious
00:31:52.940 What
00:31:53.180 He's
00:31:53.360 Doing
00:31:53.660 He's
00:31:54.300 Trying
00:31:54.540 To
00:31:54.700 Dance
00:31:55.220 And
00:31:55.460 Weave
00:31:55.740 And
00:31:55.880 Bob
00:31:56.160 But
00:31:56.300 There's
00:31:56.480 A new
00:31:56.700 Video
00:31:57.040 Out
00:31:57.440 That
00:31:57.820 Also
00:31:58.120 Has
00:31:58.380 Him
00:31:58.500 Talking
00:31:58.760 About
00:31:59.000 Zionist 1.00
00:31:59.660 Left
00:31:59.940 and
00:32:00.120 Right
00:32:00.440 The
00:32:01.220 Zionist 1.00
00:32:01.840 The
00:32:02.060 This
00:32:02.180 Zoran
00:32:04.920 Mandami
00:32:05.540 Right
00:32:06.320 Now
00:32:06.560 Who's
00:32:06.800 In
00:32:07.000 Uganda
00:32:07.800 And
00:32:08.900 Listen
00:32:09.300 To
00:32:09.520 Him
00:32:09.800 Dodge
00:32:10.320 And
00:32:10.520 Weave
00:32:10.840 This
00:32:11.100 To
00:32:11.280 Me
00:32:11.400 Is 0.88
00:32:11.600 Really
00:32:11.860 Disgraceful
00:32:12.540 And
00:32:12.660 It
00:32:12.780 Reminds
00:32:13.300 Me
00:32:13.540 Of
00:32:14.140 What
00:32:14.300 We
00:32:14.480 Just
00:32:14.780 Heard
00:32:15.000 There
00:32:15.200 From
00:32:15.440 Mahmood
00:32:15.980 Khalil
00:32:16.500 It's
00:32:17.340 Like
00:32:17.500 These
00:32:17.700 Guys
00:32:17.960 Are
00:32:18.120 Two
00:32:18.360 Peas
00:32:18.640 In
00:32:18.780 A
00:32:18.880 Pot
00:32:19.080 And
00:32:19.200 I
00:32:19.320 Think
00:32:19.480 They
00:32:19.660 Even
00:32:20.560 Hung 0.92
00:32:20.800 Out
00:32:21.020 Together
00:32:21.460 If
00:32:22.060 I
00:32:22.180 Remember
00:32:22.520 I
00:32:22.700 Heard
00:32:22.900 Recently
00:32:23.300 I
00:32:23.480 Think
00:32:23.620 There's
00:32:23.800 A
00:32:23.900 Picture
00:32:24.140 Of
00:32:24.300 The
00:32:24.400 Two
00:32:24.540 Of
00:32:24.640 Hanging
00:32:24.960 Out
00:32:25.300 I
00:32:26.160 Thought
00:32:26.380 I
00:32:26.540 Thought
00:32:29.300 I
00:32:29.720 Thought
00:32:30.200 I
00:32:30.840 Don't
00:32:31.800 I
00:32:32.500 Think
00:32:33.260 How's
00:32:36.740 That
00:32:37.080 What
00:32:37.860 Do
00:32:37.960 You
00:32:38.020 Think
00:32:38.200 Of
00:32:38.300 That
00:32:38.500 Guys
00:32:38.840 Wow
00:32:39.240 1-800-848-9222
00:32:42.500 1-800-848-9222
00:32:45.680 And
00:32:45.820 This
00:32:45.980 Is 0.88
00:32:46.120 Rita
00:32:46.360 Cosby
00:32:46.900 In
00:32:47.560 For
00:32:47.960 Roger
00:32:48.480 Stone
00:32:48.940 And
00:32:49.300 This
00:32:49.500 Is 0.88
00:32:49.640 Why
00:32:49.840 It's
00:32:50.060 So
00:32:50.240 Dangerous
00:32:50.820 These
00:32:51.340 People
00:32:51.660 Are
00:32:51.840 Dancing
00:32:52.380 And
00:32:52.920 Weaving
00:32:53.380 With
00:32:54.000 The
00:32:54.200 Words
00:32:54.600 You just heard Mahmoud Khalil dancing and weaving with the words.
00:32:59.380 Here is Zoran Mandami again, who is the leader in the race right now for New York City mayor.
00:33:07.000 And he is weaving, dodging, bobbing, twisting, turning on the words when he's asked about Globalize the Intifada.
00:33:16.040 At least one of those meetings, you said that you would discourage the use of the slogan Globalize the Intifada.
00:33:21.220 And I know you've been asked about this a million times.
00:33:23.320 Let me just throw in my two cents.
00:33:25.180 I was actually in Israel for the first time during the Second Intifada.
00:33:28.900 It was a traumatic, horrible, violent time.
00:33:31.300 You could see where storefronts had been blown out.
00:33:34.380 You had to open your bags everywhere.
00:33:36.800 There was a lot of tension.
00:33:37.800 The streets were deserted, streets that were normally lively.
00:33:40.600 We know, and it lasted for years, that thousands of people, both Palestinians and Israelis, died before they got some kind of a treaty to sort of dial back some of the violence.
00:33:50.460 It was just a horrible, horrible time.
00:33:52.220 And as you know, as you've heard, a lot of people are traumatized by that word.
00:33:57.160 It brings back a lot of really, really bad memories.
00:33:59.580 I was just a visitor, but there are people who have lived with much worse.
00:34:03.160 Obviously, as part of your job as mayor, you would need to sort of dial back the temperature, bring people together.
00:34:09.360 Where are we now in that conversation?
00:34:11.780 And what else might you want to say about that particular phrase?
00:34:15.300 You know, Errol, I've thought about this quite a lot.
00:34:19.340 And for some New Yorkers, this phrase is one that refers to civil disobedience and protests, a call to end the Israeli occupation of Palestinian land.
00:34:29.360 But I know that for many Jewish New Yorkers, it brings to mind images of the like that you are speaking of.
00:34:36.240 I was sitting with a rabbi not too long ago who told me how the same phrase is heard very differently by her.
00:34:42.120 And it's heard as a reference to bus bombings in Haifa, restaurant attacks in Jerusalem,
00:34:48.160 and engenders a fear in her and in others of the possibility of those very attacks coming home here in New York City.
00:34:56.400 And that distance between what some intend and what others hear is a bridge that is too far.
00:35:02.420 And it is why I have not used the phrase, and it is why I discourage its use.
00:35:07.480 And my focus is on building a movement for justice and equality.
00:35:11.500 And as it pertains to Israel and Palestine, I think often of the words of Noy Katzman,
00:35:17.860 who lost their brother in the horrific war crime of October 7th.
00:35:22.180 And Noy said, we must believe in all life, Israeli and Palestinian, Jewish and Arab, that it is equally precious.
00:35:32.940 And that is the vision that I hope to fulfill.
00:35:36.260 That to me is a bunch of hogwash.
00:35:38.680 Did that make sense to anybody?
00:35:39.940 The answer is, it's inappropriate.
00:35:43.480 I never should have used it.
00:35:46.520 It's distasteful and it's disgusting.
00:35:49.100 And I obviously need a better education to appreciate the Jewish population.
00:35:54.740 And I'm embarrassed that I was out there saying it, and I hope it wasn't provocative to people.
00:36:00.740 He didn't go there at all.
00:36:01.880 He just said, to some people it says this and others.
00:36:04.320 That to me is really scary.
00:36:06.320 And it's just like the defiance that we just heard from Mahmoud Khalil, who refused to condemn Hamas.
00:36:15.680 It's two peas in a pod.
00:36:17.860 We're going to take your calls when we come back.
00:36:19.860 1-800-848-9222.
00:36:22.780 And this is Rita Cosby, filling in for Roger Stone.
00:36:29.320 The Stone Zone.
00:36:31.640 Entertaining and informative.
00:36:33.820 On the Red Apple Podcast Network.
00:36:35.840 And this is Rita Cosby in for Roger Stone tonight.
00:36:41.300 We are talking about Mahmoud Khalil, Zoran Mondami, the defiance of these people, and the word salad that they try to spew on the public.
00:36:51.780 One saying, I'm not going to use the phrase, globalize the intifada.
00:36:56.340 The other one saying, you know what?
00:36:58.660 I won't condemn the phrase Hamas.
00:37:01.680 Are you kidding me?
00:37:02.680 It's not a trick question, guys.
00:37:04.960 1-800-848-9222.
00:37:09.080 Let's go to Joan in Long Island on line three.
00:37:12.080 Go ahead, Joan.
00:37:12.740 What do you think?
00:37:14.200 Hi, Rita.
00:37:14.940 How are you doing?
00:37:15.620 I'm doing nice.
00:37:16.220 Thank you for taking my call.
00:37:17.300 What I see is a lot of times our media, our newspapers, or any journalistic area, these people are getting the media.
00:37:26.720 If we turned our back on them and didn't give them the attention, they have no way to dispute their actual hate out into the world.
00:37:35.100 And that's exactly what they're doing.
00:37:36.840 And we're allowing them to do the wordplay.
00:37:39.040 And then we actually elect these people into our own government, which makes me absolutely nauseous to no end, because they do not want freedom.
00:37:49.740 They're here to gut America from the inside out. 0.98
00:37:53.240 And I'm really saddened that a lot of Americans can't see what they've been doing to us for the last 20 and 30 years.
00:38:01.760 This is all building to destruction.
00:38:04.260 And they can't see it.
00:38:05.460 They can't feel it.
00:38:06.580 Your rights are being taken away while they are getting more and more rights and getting more and more seats in our government and everywhere we look.
00:38:16.180 You know, Joan, Joan, I think you're bringing up some great points, because, first off, I agree.
00:38:21.980 Unfortunately, this, like a lot of them, are getting a lot of attention, especially Mondami here in New York City.
00:38:29.420 And you're right, it's part of a very big, troubling national trend.
00:38:33.120 There's also a guy running for mayor in Minnesota, in Minneapolis.
00:38:37.680 And you're like, what?
00:38:38.540 I mean, he looks like Mondami Jr.
00:38:41.560 And you just hear the rhetoric from him.
00:38:44.020 And I said it sort of facetiously earlier, but in many ways, it's kind of true.
00:38:50.500 I feel like he should be running for mayor of Gaza, not mayor of the Big Apple.
00:38:55.720 I mean, with the kind of values that he's saying.
00:38:58.680 And, you know, Joan, it's shocking to me.
00:39:01.440 I'm a first-generation American.
00:39:03.360 I mean, my father was rescued by American troops.
00:39:06.160 And he saw the greatest thing in the world.
00:39:08.160 And it was an American flag.
00:39:09.920 And that's how he knew he was free.
00:39:12.720 And so I came from a home where, you know, you could not thank this country enough and appreciate this country enough.
00:39:19.360 And to see a lot of these people and stirring up a lot of other people to have the same values.
00:39:27.620 And the fact that they won't condemn Hamas.
00:39:32.280 And even, you know, Zoran Mandani, when he was asked, you just heard that interview just a couple days ago, said, I'm not going to use the phrase global intifada because some people construe it.
00:39:43.700 Well, I don't think, you're not two years old.
00:39:47.200 You know what it means.
00:39:48.760 You know it's something horrible.
00:39:50.180 And he continues to spew it.
00:39:51.760 He gives the finger to Italians.
00:39:54.180 He goes after the Jewish people.
00:39:57.040 He's talked about defunding the police.
00:39:59.220 He's talked about getting rid of jails.
00:40:02.460 This is like mayhem.
00:40:04.440 Very dangerous.
00:40:05.940 You guys, I'll be back at 10 p.m.
