00:02:19.020 They shouldn't be up there. 1.00
00:02:20.380 These people are crazy. 0.93
00:02:21.620 But communism is, in my opinion, communism is the single greatest threat to our country and its history, including even World War I and World War II, Pearl Harbor, 9-11. 0.91
00:02:34.020 I think it's the greatest threat that I've ever seen to our country. 0.98
00:02:36.720 These people are stone cold crazy. 0.81
00:02:38.840 You're listening to the 47 Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 0.98
00:02:42.800 Good Thursday morning.
00:02:43.700 It's nice to have you with us on the 47 Morning Update.
00:02:46.220 And we've got two big stories for you.
00:02:48.160 First up, Mandani lied to everyone.
00:02:51.620 claiming that he was going to arrest the Prime Minister of Israel, Netanyahu,
00:02:56.420 when he comes to the United Nations.
00:02:58.520 Well, now he's put out a new anti-Semitic video.
00:03:01.520 But he actually had to tell the truth, that he can't do what he promised.
00:03:05.300 And we'll explain that to you.
00:03:07.100 Also, in another story, you may remember we talked about the New Jersey governor
00:03:13.080 claiming there was a computer glitch that registered illegal immigrants to vote.
00:03:17.280 and many of them actually did vote after they were given the ability to vote.
00:03:22.420 Well, now the software company that works for the state is saying,
00:03:25.900 uh-uh, we did not have a computer glitch at all.
00:03:30.080 In fact, this was the Democrats and lack of oversight.
00:03:33.760 We explained that to you as well.
00:03:35.900 All right, now before we get to all that,
00:03:37.560 I want to talk to you a moment about your cell phone.
00:03:40.160 If you think wireless companies are all the same,
00:03:42.820 well, then you need to take a look at Patriot Mobile.
00:03:45.040 Now, Patriot Mobile isn't just different because of its mission.
00:03:48.300 It's actually built to outperform the other carriers.
00:03:51.420 And they offer you premium priority nationwide service on any of the three major U.S. networks.
00:03:57.780 And that helps you get the best possible coverage wherever life takes you.
00:04:02.460 Now, this is what I love about Patriot Mobile.
00:04:05.480 You can even have two separate networks on the same device, eliminating the need to carry multiple phones,
00:04:11.420 and also giving you the peace of mind when you travel
00:04:13.860 that, well, you're going to have coverage
00:04:16.180 and you can't get that with the other carriers.
00:04:18.980 You also need internet on the go.
00:04:20.680 Patriot Mobile has Wi-Fi hotspots that are amazing
00:04:23.700 because they connect to multiple networks
00:04:26.060 and that keeps you connected while traveling or working remotely.
00:04:30.560 They also offer international roaming

00:05:33.840 It's the 47 Morning Update, and it starts right now.
00:05:37.980 Story number one.
00:05:39.260 For days, New York City's Mayor Mondani, he projected massive confidence that he was going to arrest the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
00:05:51.960 when he came to New York for the United Nations General Assembly.
00:05:57.540 his administration would look at arresting him they said under the international criminal court
00:06:03.420 warrant it was a promise that generated headlines around the world and thrilled many of the anti
00:06:09.600 semites and his political supporters but then the reality check came and now the anger at yeah
00:06:17.900 mandani for lying yet again to his constituents so after quote ordering his own legal review
00:06:26.120 Mandani acknowledged that New York City simply does not have the, quote, legal authority to arrest Netanyahu.
00:06:35.840 He even had to release a video because so many on the left were so angry at him for giving them false hope.
00:06:42.780 His office putting it out and the mayor admitting his administration had to review every avenue available under applicable law.
00:06:52.520 And they concluded, yeah, that he's a pathological liar, that he has no authority at all whatsoever to execute the ICC warrant.
00:07:04.100 In fact, if he did, he may actually go to jail trying to do it. 1.00
00:07:08.540 Here's Mondani, in his own words, having to admit he's, well, full of crap. 1.00
00:07:15.200 Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, the architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people. 1.00
00:07:20.580 He is responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people, for the maiming of tens 0.96
00:07:27.020 of thousands of children, as those who survive undergo amputation without anesthesia, for
00:07:32.840 the targeting of neonatal hospitals and maternity care centers, denying newborns even the chance
00:07:38.260 to live, for the countless people he starved as he blocked food and humanitarian aid from
00:07:42.660 reaching them, for the gunning down of hundreds of aid workers and journalists.
00:07:46.800 And just last month, the UN confirmed that Palestinian children continue to be deliberately targeted and killed by Israeli armed forces, more than eight months after the so-called ceasefire.
00:07:58.220 The list goes on and on, all as we, as Americans, pay for the bombs that do the killing.
00:08:05.100 There is a reason the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for his arrest.
00:08:09.160 As human beings, we have spent generations building a shared understanding that there are crimes so grave, they offend all of humanity.
00:08:17.320 Anyone, with their eyes, with their heart, with their conscience,
00:08:21.800 should recognize the devastation he has wrought and understand that he belongs before a court of law.
00:08:28.240 As I've said, I agree with the ICC that Benjamin Netanyahu should be arrested and tried for his crimes,
00:08:34.920 as I do for anyone else charged by the ICC.
00:08:37.980 My administration has reviewed every avenue available under applicable law
00:08:42.840 to determine whether New York City could execute the International Criminal Court's arrest warrant
00:08:47.340 if Benjamin Netanyahu came here.
00:08:49.720 It is clear that we do not have the independent legal authority to enforce this warrant.
00:08:54.040 The federal government, however, does,
00:08:56.320 and I call on them to join the ICC and execute this warrant.
00:09:00.040 And I want to be equally clear.
00:09:01.960 Benjamin Netanyahu is not welcome in New York City,
00:09:04.740 nor is any other war criminal at large.
00:09:07.260 While we cannot end the genocide on our own,
00:09:09.320 we can decide whether our silence will become another weapon
00:09:12.440 and we can examine every tool we have
00:09:15.200 to defend the humanity and dignity of all people.
00:09:19.080 That is my commitment to you.
00:09:21.640 Now that was Mandani,
00:09:23.500 obviously going full-on anti-Semite,
00:09:27.280 attacking Netanyahu, attacking Israel, 0.52
00:09:29.880 attacking the Jewish people.
00:09:31.380 And this is exactly what you would expect from him. 0.95
00:09:34.400 And again, just days earlier,
00:09:36.020 he said his legal team was exploring
00:09:38.240 whether New York could detain Netanyahu
00:09:40.560 during his visit to the United Nations General Assembly.
00:09:45.320 Now, the left, they are actually mad now at the mayor
00:09:49.900 for giving them the hope that there could actually be an arrest.
00:09:54.480 And of course, if there actually was an arrest, 0.61
00:09:56.940 I think we all know that Bibi would not be coming to New York City.
00:10:00.900 So instead of announcing the arrest, now Mindani is shifting his position.
00:10:06.020 He now says the federal government should join the International Criminal Court,
00:10:09.960 something that we should never do, by the way,
00:10:12.960 and then immediately carry out anti-arrest war in itself,
00:10:16.560 especially Netanyahu, the quote-unquote war criminal.
00:10:20.860 Now, whether you agree or disagree with Mandani's view on Israel,
00:10:24.520 this episode highlights an important distinction
00:10:28.100 between campaign rhetoric and actual governing.
00:10:32.340 It's one thing to make sweeping promises on the campaign trail, 0.99
00:10:36.320 and Mandani is a pathological liar.
00:10:38.360 This is the same exact guy who said, and I quote, the buses will be free. 0.95
00:10:45.720 The subway will be free.
00:10:47.380 Not only are they not free, they've actually increased the pricing.
00:10:51.380 He also said they were going to set up government grocery stores.
00:10:54.860 How often do you see those in New York?
00:10:56.920 You really don't.
00:10:58.520 Another example of a communist socialist Marxist running for office, promising you the world,
00:11:04.900 and then having to do videos telling you the truth
00:11:08.360 that everything they said they were going to give you,
00:11:10.700 they can't actually do at all.
00:11:13.820 So here we are again, another lie from Mandomi,
00:11:17.160 another video that he had to put out,
00:11:19.460 of course, still claiming that somehow it's the other guy's fault.
00:11:23.720 Next, story number two. 0.98
00:11:25.120 Which brings me to another story about another pathological liar.
00:11:30.200 The software vendor, and this is a story we talked about yesterday,
00:11:33.620 in New Jersey is now disputing the governor's quote-unquote glitch claim
00:11:39.640 that she says the state approved foreigners on their voter rolls,
00:11:44.440 and many of them actually voted.
00:11:46.780 Well, now the New Jersey government and its vendor are in a public dispute
00:11:51.340 that was supposed to catch an error that allowed thousands of non-citizens
00:11:56.200 to register to vote in New Jersey.
00:11:58.400 It raised direct questions about the integrity of the safeguards
00:12:02.200 that voters are told they can trust all over the country.
00:12:06.360 Well, just hours after the New Jersey governor blamed a software glitch
00:12:11.000 for thousands of non-citizens being registered to vote automatically,
00:12:14.720 the software company that she threw under the bus
00:12:17.400 has issued a statement disputing that claim.
00:12:20.740 The software vendor for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
00:12:24.800 issuing a statement saying it was the responsibility of state government,
00:12:29.900 which is completely controlled by the Democrats.
00:12:32.200 to verify eligibility to vote.
00:12:35.680 IDEMA, quote, worked with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission
00:12:39.020 and has for more than 40 years to support the process
00:12:43.060 through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest
00:12:47.540 to register to vote when applying for or renewing a driver's license
00:12:51.340 or a state-issued identification card.
00:12:54.160 IDEMA's role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system.
00:12:59.020 IDEMA said this in a statement saying, quote,
00:13:01.540 The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State.
00:13:07.000 Then the Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote.
00:13:13.200 Information submitted by Ademia must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.
00:13:21.200 Now, the governor blamed the software company on Tuesday,
00:13:24.040 saying that there was a, quote, computer glitch that allowed 6,660 non-citizens,
00:13:30.740 meaning illegal immigrants, to register to vote.
00:13:33.860 She also said that as many as 400 of those illegal immigrants had, in fact, voted in recent elections.
00:13:41.100 She claimed that those who voted were, quote, registered as Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters
00:13:47.200 and were scattered across the state.
00:13:50.120 It is unclear for which candidate the non-citizens voted.
00:13:53.480 she also said and of course to cover the story here right they said well the individuals answered
00:14:00.420 no when asked on a keypad whether they were a u.s citizen when applying for driver's licenses
00:14:04.940 and identification cards but through no fault of their own the system registered them anyway the
00:14:11.140 governor continued now cheryl also said the error occurred under the previous administration again
00:14:16.900 throwing her democratic colleague governor phil murphy under the bus as well so no accountability
00:14:23.240 Well, now the software company is saying, yeah, you're lying.
00:14:27.600 It wasn't a software glitch at all.
00:14:30.320 This was your fault, and this was your problem.
00:14:34.140 So now you have two different Democrats in office, yet again, lying to the voters, apparently, about their big plans.
00:14:41.160 And when they're called out on it, well, we'll see how they respond.
00:14:44.460 But one thing is for sure.
00:14:46.060 They may promise you one thing, but they clearly are delivering something very different.
