Summary

Transcript
00:00:05.440
Welcome. It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.080
And Senator, we've got a couple big topics to talk about today, including,
00:00:12.740
I think it's fair to say the Democratic Party now has just decided, screw it.
00:00:16.460
We're just going to totally embrace Marxism, socialism, communism.
00:00:23.720
And Mondani is probably going to be the mayor of New York City.
00:00:26.240
Look, Comrade Mondani is apparently the future of the Democrat Party.
00:00:33.060
The Democrat Party is now explicitly, openly, unapologetically communist and unapologetically jihadist.
00:00:41.500
And yet the Democrats in New York don't seem to care.
00:00:51.580
And listen, you're seeing the Democrat Party elected leadership, Kathy Hochul, Hakeem Jeffries, rally around him and say,
00:01:02.560
We're going to break down just how radical and extreme Comrade Mondani's record is and how dangerous that is for America.
00:01:11.060
We're also going to talk about how the Democrats and the corporate media are losing their mind,
00:01:18.660
irrationally melting down over the fact that President Trump is building a brand new ballroom at the White House.
00:01:25.400
And that is apparently the greatest crisis facing America,
00:01:29.960
is that the president has raised $300 million to raise a ballroom for future presidents to host state dinners
00:01:40.720
They're not worried about a communist becoming mayor of New York City.
00:01:44.220
They're not worried about a jihadist becoming mayor of New York City.
00:01:47.520
They're worried that there's going to be, bless my heart, a ballroom at the White House.
00:01:55.580
But before we do that, I want to tell you about our good friends over at Berna.
00:01:59.120
For me, being able to protect my family is my number one priority.
00:02:03.240
And you've heard me talk to my good friend Josh from Berna about real stories of people just like you and me
00:02:09.180
that have used their Berna launcher to protect themselves and their families.
00:02:13.360
Now, Berna is a handheld pistol that fires both kinetic rounds and chemical irritants to separate you from an attacker.
00:02:20.300
You can see the videos of how this works at Berna.com.
00:02:25.920
But Josh is back with me today to tell a story of how a Berna launcher could help avoid a tragedy.
00:02:31.680
This was actually a story that happened in my hometown of Houston.
00:02:36.260
This is such a tragic story that just recently happened.
00:02:39.300
One night recently here in Houston, an 11-year-old Julian Guzman and his cousin were banging on neighbors' doors
00:02:45.000
and running away before they were answered, a generations-old game that we all know as Ding Dong Ditch.
00:02:50.240
Well, when they came to the residence of Gonzalo Leon Jr.,
00:02:52.760
Gonzalo would later state that the two banged on his door multiple times.
00:02:56.800
And believing they were there to try to break into his home,
00:02:59.480
Gonzalo exited the house and fired at Julian with a handgun, ultimately killing him.
00:03:04.380
Now, while in Texas, like many states, we have strong stand-your-ground and castle doctrine laws,
00:03:09.680
but homeowners still may only use deadly force when it's immediately necessary to prevent assault, robbery,
00:03:15.320
or other crimes after someone unlawfully enters their property.
00:03:18.120
And I think everyone can agree that no matter where you live, and in this case, that did not meet those requirements.
00:03:24.380
And unfortunately, the homeowner in this case has now been arrested for murder with a bond said at a million dollars,
00:03:28.940
and prosecutors have stated that they will be seeking the death penalty.
00:03:31.920
If a homeowner thinks someone may be breaking in, what should their priorities be,
00:03:36.440
and how should Berna fit into that plan is a really important question everyone should be asking.
00:03:42.020
No matter where you live, your plan should be to escape, to get to a safe location.
00:03:46.880
And many times that doesn't mean engaging the intruders directly.
00:03:50.100
Berna's great for using either the chemical rounds or the kinetic rounds to buy you and your family time
1.00
00:03:54.780
to get out and get to safety, which should be your main priority.
00:03:58.040
If you want to know more about exactly what Berna can do to help you protect your family,
00:04:09.200
There's a reason why I bought it for all of my family members and why I have it in every one of my cars.
00:04:19.280
So, Senator, this is a really interesting moment,
00:04:22.140
and I really do think it's important for us to just kind of take a step back
00:04:30.100
I was doing Shannon Bream's show, Fox News Sunday,
00:04:32.880
and the first topic we talked about was Mandani winning.
00:04:37.040
We talked about the race in New Jersey and a couple others,
00:04:42.020
And I made the argument that this is now just the Democratic Party embracing what they are.
00:04:47.180
Marxists, socialists, communists, they're fully embracing it.
00:04:53.380
I actually think this is a gift that's going to give to conservatives and Republican kids in midterms
00:05:00.500
And if this is the type of leader they want, AOC 2.0, even more extreme than AOC,
00:05:13.620
And the Democratic Party has decided not to police this at all.
00:05:17.640
So, Ben, I've got to say I came up with a mnemonic today.
00:05:21.680
So, pronounce the guy's name who's about to be mayor of New York.
00:05:34.760
I sent around a tweet, and I realized I misspelled his name.
00:05:37.740
And, look, it's not a name you and I are terribly used to.
00:05:40.780
But I came up with a mnemonic to figure it out.
00:05:58.680
Like, you keep saying Mandani, but it's not M-A-N.
00:06:06.160
But the only way to say Mamdani is if you proceed it with comrade.
00:06:09.720
Because when I'm addressing communists, I call them comrades.
00:06:29.740
It will be a little voice in the back of your head,
00:06:37.960
Maybe you're saying, oh, come on, he can't be that bad.
00:06:46.040
This is comrade Mamdani's father talking about his view of the United States.
00:06:54.460
America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism.
0.59
00:06:59.860
And the American model was exported all around the world.
00:07:06.700
Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations.
00:07:12.020
They herded American Indians into separate territories.
0.96
00:07:17.700
For the Nazis, for the Nazis, this was the inspiration.
0.98
00:07:37.200
Second thing Hitler realized is that you don't have to have a common citizenship.
0.66
00:07:48.680
The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws.
00:08:00.340
I mean, that's where he gets his teachings from.
00:08:07.480
So listen, I want you to hear what Mamdani's dad just said.
00:08:13.200
Abraham Lincoln was the model for Adolf Hitler.
0.81
00:08:18.600
And the Nazis got concentration camps from the United States of America.
00:08:29.240
Someone who says that, do you think he loves America?
00:08:35.800
I think he thinks America is literally the enemy of him.
00:08:39.000
Now, is there any indication, any whatsoever, that Comrade Mamdani's, the son, his views are one iota different from daddy's?
00:09:02.280
You know, look, sometimes dads are whack jobs and sons become more reasonable.
00:09:07.340
And Comrade Mamdani, I mean, he did live in New York.
00:09:10.580
He's presumably got some affection for the people of New York.
00:09:15.640
Surely something like what happened on September 11th.
00:09:20.640
The entire world watched in horror as radical Islamic terrorists flew not one but two planes into the World Trade Center, murdering between the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, murdering roughly 3,000 Americans.
00:09:35.960
Surely young Comrade Mamdani was horrified at what he saw and horrified at the mass slaughter.
00:09:42.960
Well, let's give a listen to what, in his own words, this is not daddy.
00:09:51.540
Here's what he said he thought the day after September 11th.
00:09:56.780
I want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims of New York City.
00:10:02.760
I want to speak to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab.
00:10:14.880
I mean, let's go back to the quote there, Senator.
00:10:17.180
My aunt stopped taking the subway after 9-11 because she did not feel safe in her hijab.
00:10:23.600
He's actually claiming that she is the victim of 9-11.
00:10:31.660
Among all of the sentiments, did he express, I looked at those planes flying into the towers and I felt horrified.
00:10:38.760
But by the way, as a Muslim, he presumably could say, I was horrified by someone who shares my faith could be so radicalized as to murder 3,000 people.
00:10:47.420
He actually could say something powerful there.
00:10:50.660
He didn't say, I mourned for the people at the top of that tower as flames roared around them who faced a choice between burning alive and jumping to their death.
00:11:00.740
And you and I both watched those mornings in a horror as people leapt from 100 stories high and fell to their death because the alternative was to burn alive.
00:11:11.600
Like, it was a moment America was under attack and yet somehow, Comrade Mondami, that is, I can't pronounce his name either, even with my mnemonic, I'm getting it wrong.
00:11:21.260
But somehow, he doesn't express that sentiment.
00:11:25.280
He's like, the horror is the next day my aunt couldn't wear her hijab.
00:11:31.180
And by the way, for all of the leftist rhetoric that the crime of 9-11 was Islamophobia, I'm not aware of a meaningful uptick in violence against Muslims in New York.
00:11:45.140
I actually remember this country coming together, coming together strongly, embracing each other, unifying.
00:11:51.300
I remember President George W. Bush in, I think, the finest moment of his presidency standing on the rubble in New York City holding a bullhorn.
00:12:01.060
And when someone from the crowd with firefighters all around called out, we can't hear you, he said, I can hear you.
00:12:06.580
And soon the world will hear you, the people that knock down these towers will hear you.
00:12:12.960
That was a moment where if you had the tiniest bit of love for America, you don't have to be the most patriotic soul.
0.98
00:12:20.580
You just have to give a tiny little crap about the United States of America.
0.98
00:12:27.540
You felt a surge of, yes, we will stand strong against the vicious murderers who attacked us.
0.99
00:12:35.340
And yet, Comrade Mondami expresses none of that.
00:12:39.660
Apparently 9-11 was all about, look, he was clear, I'm talking to the Muslims.
00:12:44.280
By the way, if you're Jewish, and I've got to say it is astonishing, some significant percentage of Jewish voters in New York are voting for Comrade Mondami.
00:12:56.040
It's like if you go to a farm and go to the lambs and the sheep and say, hey, we would like to have an election to select the butcher.
00:13:15.820
And by the way, there are wealthy socialites on the Upper East Side who are voting for him and are perfectly oblivious.
00:13:26.080
Because, you know, when Comrade Mondami abolishes the police and a crackhead kicks in their front door, suddenly they're – let me ask you, Ben, seriously.
00:13:42.960
I mean, you were a CNN contributor for like umpteen years.
00:13:51.160
Let's assume you're a multimillionaire Upper East Side socialite.
0.95
00:13:55.700
Try to explain the thinking of saying, I want to vote for a communist jihadist.
0.66
00:14:03.840
It's very interesting because there's – I think there's two things here as we really break this down.
00:14:08.960
One, I think that to be a socialite in New York, it is now a mandate that you're a liberal Democrat.
00:14:17.400
You will not rise in the New York ranks or the Hamptons if you're a hardcore conservative.
00:14:25.380
And by the way, to be clear, the alternative here –
00:14:29.020
Yeah, but to be clear, the alternative here, we're talking Andrew friggin' Cuomo.
00:14:38.360
We're talking Andrew friggin' Cuomo, a left-wing Democrat, corrupt, woman-grabbing, like –
0.99
00:14:45.860
I'm not a big Cuomo fan, but it's not like if you're a New York voter,
0.98
00:14:52.160
you have to suddenly pull the lever for Jesse Helms.
00:14:56.720
And yet, given the choice between a solidly left-wing Democrat and a full-on communist,
00:15:05.680
and I believe America-hating jihadist, it sure looks like – I hope these polls are wrong,
00:15:14.020
and maybe a burst of sanity will pull us back, but it sure looks like a ton of New Yorkers are going to say,
00:15:20.040
nope, nope, nope, I don't want partial lefty.
1.00
00:15:28.640
Yeah, well, and the other thing that's interesting is I was in New York last – I think it was last week.
00:15:32.820
I'm up there almost every other week now, and I talk to a lot of the people there that live there,
00:15:39.820
They feel like they lost so many sane voters because of the COVID lockdown.
00:15:47.160
This is now just – yeah, they all went to Florida.
00:15:54.180
The crazy state under, you know, tyrants like Cuomo who locked them down
00:15:59.560
and took their lives away from them for two years
00:16:01.540
and wouldn't allow them to even leave their houses or go out or do anything.
00:16:06.200
We all know New York was a ghost town for a very long time because of the lockdowns there.
00:16:11.980
And so you lost a large group of voters that were sane.
00:16:18.460
I'm just saying they weren't socialist, communist-type voters,
00:16:24.340
And so I now look at this and I'm like, all right, Mondani wins.
00:16:27.880
I think it's pretty clear he's going to be the mayor of New York.
00:16:34.620
I'm going to hold out hope until the last vote is counted.
00:16:37.120
It sure looks like that from the polling, but I'm not willing to concede that.
00:16:42.160
And by the way, you might think, look, one of the things we try to do on verdict
00:16:47.600
So we try not to engage in just partisan rhetoric and hyperbole.
00:16:52.080
Like when I call him a communist jihadist, I call him a communist because he's called for,
0.98
00:16:58.760
among other things, seizing the means of production, which is the very essence of the economic core
00:17:10.560
OK, let me read you from his tweet on October 17th.
00:17:16.240
Quote, today at Masjid al-Taqwa, I had the pleasure of meeting with Imam Siraj Wahaj,
00:17:25.280
one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders and a pillar of the Bed-Stuy community for nearly
00:17:31.400
I was also joined by CM Dr. Yusuf Salaam of Harlem, a beautiful jama.
00:17:38.680
Now, who is the person that he's taking a picture with?
00:17:42.620
Well, this particular imam is, in fact, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World
0.96
00:17:53.900
Trade Center bombing that killed six people.
0.99
00:17:58.260
He also preached that homosexuality is a disease.
0.98
00:18:02.920
And by the way, there are a bunch of left-wing gay and lesbian people in New York who are
0.99
00:18:09.640
And he also called for an unarmed, quote, army of 10,000 men to wage a gun-free jihad through
00:18:24.300
That's who Comrade Mamdani poses for a picture with and tweets out three weeks before the
00:18:34.540
He's saying, yeah, he will stand with the jihadists against you, the innocent citizens.
00:18:41.060
And I got to tell you, look, to give you a sense also of just how whacked out the Democratic
00:18:49.960
Socialists of America, which is Comrade Mamdani's party.
00:18:55.920
Just yesterday, they put out a statement calling on the United States to release Elias Rodriguez.
00:19:09.400
Elias Rodriguez is the deranged terrorist who executed two Jews in Washington, D.C. this spring.
00:19:18.000
And you'll recall, Elias Rodriguez, by the way, he's not a Palestinian.
0.97
00:19:23.540
He's an Hispanic dude from Chicago, but he's a left-winger who has suckled on the teat of
1.00
00:19:31.200
Marxism and America hate and Jew hate that is the left.
0.99
00:19:36.240
And he murdered this young couple who had just been engaged.
0.53
00:19:39.760
And as you know, I didn't know this young couple, but a fact I discovered after they were
00:19:45.900
murdered, the two of them met at an event where I was speaking.
00:19:50.340
And I knew multiple friends of mine who knew them well.
00:19:53.700
And it was literally, I was the speaker at the event.
00:19:56.980
They were both involved in the pro-Israel community.
00:20:03.200
He unloaded his entire magazine into the two of them, murdering a young man and a young
0.99
00:20:16.700
Now, let me read what the DSA Liberation Caucus put out, which is the Democrat Socialists of
00:20:24.320
Excellent statement that we are proud to add our name to.
00:20:29.580
Free Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners.
00:20:35.020
So understand, Comrade Mondami's political party is telling the world that a terrorist who
00:20:46.960
murders in cold blood two Jews because they're Jews should not be charged, should not be prosecuted,
00:20:54.620
should be let to go free, presumably because killing Jews in the interest of their radical
1.00
00:21:01.480
leftist ideology is deserving of no punishment.
0.98
00:21:04.800
They're not saying, let him serve a month in jail.
00:21:08.780
They're not saying, let him serve a week in jail.
00:21:11.040
They're saying, let him go today with no consequences whatsoever for the cold blooded murder of two
00:21:20.940
That is the party of Comrade Mondami who, by all appearances in the polling, is about to
00:21:34.480
And I will say, listen, Ben, there are a lot of Republicans who are saying what you said is,
00:21:43.560
This will show the world just how whacked out the left is.
00:21:46.480
Canadian women are looking for more, more out of themselves, their businesses, their elected
1.00
00:21:53.380
And that's why we're thrilled to introduce the Honest Talk podcast.
00:21:59.500
And in this podcast, we interview Canada's most inspiring women.
00:22:03.280
Entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, politicians, and newsmakers, all at different stages of their
00:22:08.700
So if you're looking to connect, then we hope you'll join us.
00:22:12.220
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:22:25.640
It is still the center of finance in America and the world.
00:22:29.860
It is the center of media in America and the world.
00:22:32.520
And much like I grieve for San Francisco, an iconic American city.
0.72
00:22:37.680
Look, San Francisco doesn't embrace your values of mine, but I don't like to see lunatics
00:22:42.720
like Gavin Newsom and other leftists destroying cities that are a central part of who America
00:22:50.640
And I got to say, I think a huge problem with what's happening in New York is young people,
1.00
00:22:57.000
young people in their 20s who have college degrees, who were radicalized in college, who
00:23:03.600
sat in in the student lounges drinking lattes and smoking clove cigarettes and are actually
00:23:18.980
When you and I were kids, people smoke clove cigarettes.
00:23:21.640
I actually don't even know if college kids do now.
00:23:30.620
Look, you know, I'm going to be 55 in December.
00:23:34.780
But the beauty of it is in the Senate, they still think I'm 12.
00:23:42.240
And so, you know, they think I'm running around in short shorts with a beanie.
00:23:46.240
Um, but, you know, it's a bunch of 20-somethings who have never known anything except college
00:23:56.080
life, and they've been suckled on the lies of their Marxist professors.
00:24:01.040
And they think, yes, join the revolution, globalize the Intifada.
00:24:06.040
They don't even necessarily know what it means.
00:24:10.580
And by the way, they're also unhappy with life and angst.
00:24:15.000
And a lot of these 24-year-olds are mad that they're not billionaires and driving Lamborghinis
00:24:21.940
And so they're like, okay, let's just attack the actual billionaires who built companies
00:24:32.340
There are so many people there that are going to vote for him because he has basically turned
00:24:37.340
public enemy number one into successful New Yorkers that are wealthy.
00:24:41.540
And he's saying that they've stolen something from you that you never had, and we're going
00:24:50.280
Your life sucks because of these evil rich people that have all the one percenters.
0.97
00:24:55.580
It's Occupy Wall Street 2.0 or 3.0, whatever version you want to describe this as.
0.99
00:25:01.400
And I think that's the part that scares me the most, is that you can now lose another
00:25:06.980
great American city the way that you described San Francisco.
00:25:10.000
Look at places like Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Memphis.
00:25:13.800
The only good news is there is a cause and effect, and I think that's why Donald Trump
00:25:21.060
I think that's also why he's being so successful right now.
00:25:23.320
That's why I say, hey, I need an AOC, a Mondani, to remind America you don't want any part
1.00
00:25:29.980
of this, and conservatives are getting it done for you right now.
00:25:35.660
Look, the unfortunate thing is, and I don't think this is hyperbole, people are going to
00:25:40.000
die if and when Comrade Mondani is elected, that that is going to be the consequence.
00:25:47.840
Listen, I was in New York on Friday, so I was there campaigning for Mike Lawler.
00:25:51.880
Mike Lawler is a Republican congressman from New York.
00:25:54.920
He's in one of the most competitive districts in America.
00:25:59.100
He is not as conservative as you and I are, but given that district, he is a Republican
00:26:07.780
He's as conservative as you can get, and he fights for his district.
00:26:12.360
And I like Mike, and he asked me, will you come up and campaign?
00:26:16.720
I joined him, number one, at the Conservative Party in New York.
00:26:19.200
They had a big dinner, and they had me come in and speak.
00:26:22.840
I said, if Comrade Mondani is elected, I'm going to make a nomination right now, which
00:26:30.720
I want to name him the Conservative Party of New York Man of the Year, because Comrade Mondani
00:26:36.420
is going to make more people join the Conservative Party in New York than anyone has in history,
0.99
00:26:47.540
And I'm going to make a second nomination.
0.87
00:26:49.860
If he is elected, I'm going to make this nomination now.
00:26:59.240
And on this podcast, I am going to nominate right now Comrade Mondani as the Texas Realtor
00:27:06.580
of the Year, because not only is he going to drive New Yorkers to join the Republican Party
00:27:11.280
and the Conservative Party, but he is going to result, he is going to rent more U-Hauls than
00:27:19.240
the very best Willie Lohman salesman that has ever been in U-Haul, of people moving from
00:27:26.440
New York and coming to Texas and coming to Florida, and anyone with any sense is going
00:27:34.080
And by the way, okay, did you hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough, hard
00:27:40.000
scrabble life, eating Wonder Bread, growing up in the hood?
00:27:43.860
Because, you know, Gavin was an oppressed youth.
00:27:50.740
It was almost as oppressed as he was during the COVID lockdowns when he was the only one
00:27:53.920
allowed to have dinner with his friends without masks on, you know?
00:27:56.700
Look, to be clear, Gavin Newsom is California royalties, fourth or fifth generation California
00:28:03.520
His daddy was one of the lead lawyers for the Getty billionaire fortune.
00:28:13.600
He grew up, he was featured in the San Francisco paper in an article entitled Growing Up Rich.
00:28:20.920
And to be clear, he started a winery with the Getty millions, billions actually, but millions
00:28:29.060
Now, Benjamin, let me ask you, did you start a winery at age 25?
00:28:34.580
I feel like I worked really hard, but I promise you it was not a winery at 25.
00:28:41.100
I don't fault Gavin for the success of his parents or his grandparents or his great-great-grandparents.
00:28:47.780
And it's amazing how many leftists were raised with silver spoons and inserted just about
00:28:55.440
But when he pretends, like he's on this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh, I just
00:29:15.840
Newsom is running a different scam than Mondani is, but it's the same scam.
00:29:21.840
It is marketing, Marxism, socialism, confiscatory government power, and trying to make it...
00:29:31.560
I'm going to compliment right now both Comrade Mondani and Gavin Newsom.
00:29:38.500
I mean, to be honest, every dentist in America must be like, look at those pearly whites.
1.00
00:29:45.880
And, you know, I got to say, and I'll say this as a Cuban-American whose family, you know,
00:29:52.180
fled Cuba, it really feels better if you're a dissident being lined up from the firing squad
00:29:58.260
if you know that the communists ordering your death are smiling.
00:30:01.120
Like, it really makes it less painful as you're sent to the gulag to know it's a good-looking
00:30:17.980
And can I ask you one more question on this topic?
00:30:22.700
Is there a single, sane Democrat who is calling out Comrade Mondani or Gavin Newsom on these issues?
0.58
00:30:32.920
No, because they created these crazies, and they allowed them to fester in their party,
0.75
00:30:39.560
and they literally didn't police their party.
0.66
00:30:42.260
So this is the Democratic Party now, and their leaders are not Democrats.
00:30:52.620
Yeah, look, the elected members of the Democrat Party, particularly on the national scene,
00:31:00.700
They're scared of the angry left-wing radicals with torches and pitchforks.
00:31:09.200
We saw this at the No Kings rally where they're terrified.
00:31:12.540
We're in day 27 of the Schumer shutdown because they're terrified of the mob.
00:31:19.320
But again, listen, we endeavor on this podcast to try to be real, to try to have facts,
00:31:25.880
to try not to engage in just empty partisan rhetoric.
00:31:29.940
Like, so maybe you might say, all right, Cruz, Ferguson, that they're not the most impartial,
00:31:38.900
If you're not inclined to listen to us, although I will say, if you've made it 29 minutes into
00:31:42.980
this podcast and you're not inclined to listen to us, wow, you've got some endurance.
00:31:52.960
If you're not inclined to listen to us, perhaps you would be inclined to listen to Bill Maher.
00:32:01.160
He's been a liberal and a Democrat his whole life.
00:32:04.300
Listen to what Bill Maher had to say, the warning to Democrats he had to say about Comrade Mondani.
00:32:10.080
The Democrats, let's face it, they're kind of split now.
00:32:14.160
There's the far left version that did not do too well in recent elections.
00:32:18.680
And then people like the governor who say, we've got to come back to the middle, common sense.
00:32:23.180
And whenever this discussion comes up, this is what you hear a lot.
00:32:25.800
We need a sister soldier moment, a time when the Democrats, something, some issue with the Democrat says,
00:32:32.040
And this is how you know you can trust me that I'm not.
00:32:46.460
But I would just like to say, because the election is in a couple of weeks,
00:32:50.480
this is not just New York that's on the ballot.
00:32:54.160
I think the whole Democratic Party in the country is on the ballot.
00:32:58.020
And the whole country will be looking at this race to see which way are the Democrats going to go.
00:33:03.740
No, Andrew Cuomo may not be that exciting and that inspirational.
00:33:07.280
But, you know, for a party that said we want to get back to normal, he's kind of normal.
00:33:15.800
Well, he's got some things in his history that I would suggest are not the normal I want to embrace.
00:33:21.440
Well, we did a deep dive on that because we had him on the show.
00:33:25.960
I mean, maybe he was a little too handy, a little too Italian, a little too touchy, you know.
1.00
00:33:40.780
I mean, it's when you're having to defend Cuomo to try to save your party, you're not in a good place.
00:33:56.880
But Bill Maher every day makes more and more sense because his party has gone so bat crap crazy that he believes in things like free speech.
00:34:05.940
He believes in things like not supporting a communist government that seizes private property and the means of production in society.
00:34:17.360
He doesn't want to support Hamas terrorists and other jihadists.
00:34:25.780
That used to be all of those propositions were things that used to be the case that Republicans and Democrats came together.
00:34:32.320
Look, Bill Clinton, when Bill Clinton was president, neither you nor I supported Bill Clinton.
00:34:40.720
The Bill Clinton election, when he was elected, it was not the fate of Western civilization.
00:34:50.600
I would have rathered a Republican be elected, but the world didn't end when Bill Clinton got elected.
00:34:56.100
Bill Clinton's views, if you took a candidate with the identical policy views of Bill Clinton and ran him today, they would tar and feather him and drive him out of the Democrat Party.
00:35:10.960
He probably wouldn't get elected as a Democrat dog catcher because they have radicalized.
0.96
00:35:16.700
And they instead want someone like Comrade Mondami, whose party says, release the terrorist who murders Jews because they're Jews.
0.92
00:35:28.660
And, you know, some of y'all may not may not know what what a sister soldier moment is.
00:35:34.300
And Sister Soulja actually refers to Bill Clinton when Bill Clinton was was running for president.
00:35:42.100
And Bill Clinton denounced her in the middle of the primary.
00:35:45.960
And it was viewed as as a brave moment of sort of taking on his base.
00:35:50.680
But it demonstrated to the voters or it was perceived to demonstrate to the voters that that he was reasonable and rational and not a crazy nutcase.
00:36:06.080
By the way, Gavin Newsom wants to be elected president.
00:36:16.600
None of them are going to because look, John Fetterman has been critical.
00:36:22.600
But John Fetterman, I think the Democrat Party is being quite explicit that they're going to do everything they can to drive him out of the Democrat Party.
00:36:29.240
Just like they would Bill Clinton if he were there.
00:36:41.480
Andy Beshear, who's pretending he's he's a moderate in Kentucky.
00:36:45.240
Josh Shapiro, who has got to be horrified at what Mondami saying.
00:37:02.600
But but but I fear not just for the state of the Democrat Party, but I fear for the future of our republic.
00:37:09.700
I think we do better when we have two political parties that are reasonable and rational and have some meaningful disagreements than we do with one party that is utterly whack job and trying to destroy America.
00:37:24.560
It is a pendulum and it goes from one party to the other.
0.88
00:37:27.840
There will come a time when these lunatics are a charge of the country again.
00:37:31.180
And they've gotten so extreme that that I really shudder and fear for our great nation.
00:37:39.260
Don't forget, we do the show Monday, Wednesday, Friday.
00:37:41.480
We always try to bring you the biggest news we can and let you know what's going on behind the scenes, even at 313 a.m.
00:37:50.740
If you don't think we're committed, just look at the clock right now.
00:37:54.660
This may be our latest one we've ever done, Senator.
