Fentanyl Frontlines in South America as Socialist Surge Shakes NYC Politics · The Ben Ferguson Podcast

0:01
Speaker 1: The US is now sending an aircraft carrier to South
0:05
Speaker 1: America as the Narco strikes are intensifying. This as Democrats
0:11
Speaker 1: are claiming that, well, we don't really know if the
0:14
Speaker 1: people on these boats are actually Narco terrorists. Congressman McCormick,
0:19
Speaker 1: who is a veteran that served as country, set the
0:22
Speaker 1: record straight on that on Newsmax. Recredit n Suster. Listen
0:26
Speaker 1: to what he said about these strikes, including the submarine
0:29
Speaker 1: that was blown up earlier this week.
0:31
Speaker 2: A lot of this is.
0:32
Speaker 3: Due with our intelligence gathering capabilities. Obviously, we don't take
0:35
Speaker 3: out people just based on a hunch. They get confirmation
0:39
Speaker 3: from real intel on what these boats have on board,
0:42
Speaker 3: like he knew with the submarine, for example, had mostly fentanyl.
0:46
Speaker 2: Bad guys.
0:47
Speaker 3: We knew what gangs they belonged to, and we take
0:50
Speaker 3: out the bad guys.
0:50
Speaker 2: It'd be very careful selection.
0:52
Speaker 3: When we used to be on floats and we'd have
0:54
Speaker 3: an idea what we're going to take out and take
0:56
Speaker 3: down a ship like that, we couldn't even talk about
1:00
Speaker 3: we had real live intelligence. If we had any doubt
1:02
Speaker 3: at all, it'd be called off.
1:03
Speaker 2: So these are confirmed targets. These aren't just we hope they're.
1:06
Speaker 4: Bad guys, Why don't we there's no effort to contact
1:10
Speaker 4: them and board them. I mean the old days you
1:11
Speaker 4: could contact if they have a flag from Venezuelia called Venezuela,
1:14
Speaker 4: say can I board it? Or from Panama or you
1:16
Speaker 4: can ask to aboard it. But are we boarding, are
1:18
Speaker 4: we attempting to board any these or we just make
1:20
Speaker 4: the determination these are bad and boom the.
1:22
Speaker 2: Gun and we've done in the past. Two things can happen.
1:24
Speaker 2: First of all, they.
1:24
Speaker 3: Can run, and they can get away and go back
1:26
Speaker 3: and they going back to the International while they're home free.
1:29
Speaker 3: Or they can shoot back and kill our marines and
1:31
Speaker 3: our sailors or seals or whomever is trying to board
1:34
Speaker 3: that ship.
1:35
Speaker 2: Now you have a very dangerous situation.
1:37
Speaker 3: The question is are you willing to risk lives to
1:40
Speaker 3: take somebody who you know is smuggling jail? Now you're
1:42
Speaker 3: got to put them in jail, in our jail system
1:44
Speaker 3: and eventually get them back there.
1:46
Speaker 2: The expense and the danger to our troops versus.
1:48
Speaker 3: Just taking out bad guys who are literally coming here
1:51
Speaker 3: that have caused hundreds of thousands of deaths more than
1:55
Speaker 3: all the wars we've ever fought together. When you start
1:57
Speaker 3: combining all the deaths that have happened from fentanyl and
2:00
Speaker 3: overdose and drugs and the gang wars in the inner cities.
2:03
Speaker 3: If you look at the immortality morbidity of a male
2:06
Speaker 3: black man in America, and I got this from doctor
2:08
Speaker 3: Sache when I was a student at Moorhouse, it declined
2:11
Speaker 3: dramatically with the cocaine wars. With crack cocaine is only
2:15
Speaker 3: escalated with this sort of warfare that they're basically having
2:17
Speaker 3: on us.
2:18
Speaker 1: You listen to Congress from McCormick there, he's absolutely right,
2:22
Speaker 1: and he's saying, why would we risk our lives knowing
2:24
Speaker 1: that these are bad guys that need to be taken out,
2:27
Speaker 1: Which brings us to the new point. The US military
2:30
Speaker 1: sending this aircraft carrier to the waters off South America,
2:33
Speaker 1: the Pentagon announcing this on Friday, in the latest escalation
2:37
Speaker 1: of military firepower in a region where the Trump administration
2:41
Speaker 1: has unleashed more rapid strikes in recent days against boats
2:46
Speaker 1: it accused of carrying drugs just like fetnyl. The Secretary
2:50
Speaker 1: of War Pete Edseth ordered the USS Gerald R. Ford
2:54
Speaker 1: and its strike group to deploy to the US Southern
2:57
Speaker 1: Command region to quote bolster the US capacity to detect, monitor,
3:02
Speaker 1: and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise a safety
3:07
Speaker 1: and prosperity of the United States. That coming from the
3:10
Speaker 1: Pentagon spokesman Sean Pernell, the USS Ford, which has five
3:15
Speaker 1: destroyers in its strike group, is now deployed to the
3:18
Speaker 1: Mediterranean Sea. One of its destroyers is in the Arabian
3:22
Speaker 1: Sea and another in the Red Sea. A person familiar
3:25
Speaker 1: with the operation told the Associated Press as a Friday,
3:29
Speaker 1: the aircraft carrier was in port in Croatia on the
3:33
Speaker 1: Arctic Sea. The person, who spoke on condition of amininity
3:36
Speaker 1: to discuss sins of military operations, would not say how
3:40
Speaker 1: long it would take for the strike group to arrive
3:42
Speaker 1: in the waters off South America, or if all five
3:45
Speaker 1: destroyers would make that journey. While deploying an aircraft carrier
3:49
Speaker 1: would surge major additional resources to a region that has
3:52
Speaker 1: already seen an unusually large US military build up in
3:56
Speaker 1: the Caribbean Sea and the waters off Venezuela. The latest
4:00
Speaker 1: appointment and the quickening pace of the US strikes, including
4:03
Speaker 1: one Friday, raise new speculations about how far the Trump
4:07
Speaker 1: administration may go in operations it says are targeting drug trafficking,
4:14
Speaker 1: including whether it could try to topple the Venezuelan president Maduro,
4:19
Speaker 1: who already has a massive bounty on his head now
4:23
Speaker 1: he faces charges of narco terrorism. In the United States
4:26
Speaker 1: of America, there are already more, by the way than
4:29
Speaker 1: six thousand US sailors and marines on eight warships in
4:34
Speaker 1: the region. If the entire uss Ford Strike Group arrives,
4:38
Speaker 1: that could bring nearly four thousand, five hundred more sailors,
4:43
Speaker 1: as well as the nine squadrons of aircraft assigned to
4:46
Speaker 1: the carrier. Complicating the situation is also tropical store Melissa,
4:51
Speaker 1: which has been nearly stationary in the Central Caribbean, with
4:55
Speaker 1: forecasters warning it could soon strengthen into a powerful hurricane.
5:00
Speaker 5: Now.
5:00
Speaker 1: Hours before Parnell announced the news, the Secretary of War
5:04
Speaker 1: Headsets said the military had conducted the ten strike on
5:08
Speaker 1: a suspected drug running boat, leaving six people dead and
5:12
Speaker 1: bring the death count for the attacks that began in
5:15
Speaker 1: early September to at least forty three narco terraces. Headsets
5:21
Speaker 1: set on social media that the vessel struck overnight was
5:25
Speaker 1: operating by the trend de Iragua gang. It was the
5:29
Speaker 1: second time the Trump administration has tied one of its
5:33
Speaker 1: operations to the gang that originated in a venezuela in prison.
5:38
Speaker 1: The strikes have ramped up from one every few weeks
5:42
Speaker 1: when they first began last month to three this week alone,
5:45
Speaker 1: killing a total of at least forty three terrasts.
5:48
Speaker 5: Now.
5:49
Speaker 1: Two of the most recent strikes were carried out in
5:51
Speaker 1: the Eastern specific Ocean, expanding the area where the military
5:57
Speaker 1: has launched attacks and shifting to where much of the
6:01
Speaker 1: cocaine from the world's largest producers is smuggled.
6:04
Speaker 5: Quote.
6:05
Speaker 1: If you're a narco terrast smuggling drugs in our hemisphere,
6:09
Speaker 1: we will treat you like Al Qaeda heads has said
6:13
Speaker 1: in a post day or night. We will map your networks,
6:17
Speaker 1: track your people, hunt you down, and kill you. The
6:22
Speaker 1: strike drew parallels to the first announced by the US
6:25
Speaker 1: last month by focusing on the Trendy Ragua, which the
6:29
Speaker 1: Trump administration has designated as a foreign terrorist organization and
6:34
Speaker 1: blame for being the root of the violence and drug
6:36
Speaker 1: dealing that plagues some of the cities. While not mentioning
6:40
Speaker 1: the origin of the latest boat. The Republican administration now
6:44
Speaker 1: says at least four of the boats it has hit
6:48
Speaker 1: have come from Venezuela. On Thursday, the US military flu
6:53
Speaker 1: a pair of supersonic heavy bombers up the coast of
6:57
Speaker 1: Venezuela in a show of strength. R Dureau argues that
7:01
Speaker 1: the US operations are the latest efforts to force him
7:04
Speaker 1: from office. Maduro on Thursday praise security forces and a
7:10
Speaker 1: civilian militia for defense exercises along some one thousand, two
7:15
Speaker 1: hundred miles of coastline to prepare for the possibility, he says,
7:19
Speaker 1: of a US attack, saying in the span of six hours,
7:23
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of all the country's coastline was covered
7:27
Speaker 1: in real time, with all the equipment and heavy weapons
7:30
Speaker 1: to defend all of Venezuelas coast if necessary, Morduro said
7:35
Speaker 1: during a government event shown on state television. The US
7:39
Speaker 1: military presence is less about drugs than sending a message
7:43
Speaker 1: to countries in the region aligned with the US interest.
7:46
Speaker 1: According to the International Crisis Group, senior analysts for the
7:50
Speaker 1: Andres Regent Elizabeth Dickinson, an expression that I'm hearing a
7:54
Speaker 1: lot of drugs are the excuse and everyone knows that
7:57
Speaker 1: Dickinson said, and I think that message which is very
8:00
Speaker 1: clear in regional capitals. So the messaging here is that
8:04
Speaker 1: the US is intent on pursuing specific objectives and it
8:08
Speaker 1: will use military force against leaders and countries that don't.
8:11
Speaker 5: Fall in line.
8:13
Speaker 1: That is what the left is obviously trying to get
8:16
Speaker 1: you to believe. But Headset's remarks around the strikes have
8:19
Speaker 1: recently begun to draw a more direct comparison between the
8:23
Speaker 1: war on terrorism that the US declared after nine to
8:27
Speaker 1: eleven and the attacks and Donald Trump's administrations cracked down
8:32
Speaker 1: now on the drug traffickers whose drugs are killing countless Americans.
8:37
Speaker 1: President Trump this month declared drug cartels to be unlawful
8:41
Speaker 1: combatants and said the US was in an armed conflict
8:45
Speaker 1: with them, relying on the same legal authority used by
8:49
Speaker 1: the Bush administration after nine to eleven. Every so often
8:53
Speaker 1: something happens that reminds us just how fragile our freedoms are.
8:57
Speaker 1: We can't afford to take our rights for grants.
9:00
Speaker 2: It.
9:00
Speaker 1: We must draw a line in the sand, and our
9:03
Speaker 1: friends at Patriot Mobile have been doing just that for
9:06
Speaker 1: more than twelve years. The truth is there is only
9:09
Speaker 1: one provider that boldly stands in the gap for Americans
9:13
Speaker 1: who believe freedom is we're fighting for, and that company
9:16
Speaker 1: is Patriot Mobile. Not only are they leading the red economy,
9:20
Speaker 1: they're also outpacing the competition and technology. Patriot Mobile is
9:25
Speaker 1: one of the only carriers offering premium access to all
9:30
Speaker 1: three major US networks, giving you nationwide coverage and service
9:34
Speaker 1: that you can count on day after day. They also
9:37
Speaker 1: offer unlimited data plans, mobile hotspots, international roaming, internet backup,
9:43
Speaker 1: and so much more. And switching has never been easier.
9:47
Speaker 1: You can activate in minutes on your phone from your
9:50
Speaker 1: home or your office and you keep your same number.
9:53
Speaker 1: You've got now keep your same phone, or upgrade to
9:55
Speaker 1: a new one. And this is where the magic happens.
9:58
Speaker 1: Every month, about five percent under your bill is given
10:01
Speaker 1: back to conservative causes at no extra cost to you
10:05
Speaker 1: that stand up for our First and our Second Amendment rights,
10:08
Speaker 1: the rights of unborn children, and are wounded warriors and
10:12
Speaker 1: those that have fought for our country and wear a badge.
10:15
Speaker 1: So take a stand today and make a difference with
10:18
Speaker 1: every call you make. Patriot Mobile dot com slash ferguson
10:23
Speaker 1: or nine seven to two Patriot use the promo code
10:27
Speaker 1: ferguson for a free month of service as well. That's
10:30
Speaker 1: patriotmobile dot com slash ferguson or nine seven to two
10:35
Speaker 1: Patriot and make the switch and make a difference with
10:38
Speaker 1: every call you make. I want to pivot real quick
10:41
Speaker 1: to another big issue, and that is there is a
10:44
Speaker 1: guy that is a socialist who is about to be
10:47
Speaker 1: elected to be the leader of New York City. How
10:50
Speaker 1: did this happen? How did we get to this point?
10:53
Speaker 1: Senator Cruz and I sit down to talk about this
10:55
Speaker 1: and what it means for the Republican Party as well
10:58
Speaker 1: moving forward. This is a really interesting moment, and I
11:03
Speaker 1: really do think it's important for us to just kind
11:05
Speaker 1: of take a step back look at the Democratic Party.
11:10
Speaker 1: I was doing Shinna Breems show Fox New Sunday, and
11:13
Speaker 1: the first topic we talked about was Mindanni winning. We
11:17
Speaker 1: talked about the race in New Jersey and a couple others,
11:19
Speaker 1: but everyone was focused on Mendannie. And I made the
11:22
Speaker 1: argument that this is now just the Democratic Party embracing
11:26
Speaker 1: what they are Marxist socialists, communists. They're fully embracing it.
11:30
Speaker 1: He is the face of the Democratic Party. I actually
11:34
Speaker 1: think this is a gift that's going to give to
11:36
Speaker 1: conservatives Republicanans the midterms like we've never seen before. And
11:40
Speaker 1: if this is the type of leader they want, AOC
11:43
Speaker 1: two point zero, even more extreme than AOC.
11:45
Speaker 5: That's hard to say.
11:46
Speaker 1: It's shocking, but I mean, we went from AOC, we
11:49
Speaker 1: went from Bernie Sanders to AOC to Mindonnie, and the
11:54
Speaker 1: Democratic Party has decided not to police this at all.
11:58
Speaker 6: So Ben, I gotta say, I came up with the
12:00
Speaker 6: mnemonic today, so pronounce the guy's name who's about to
12:04
Speaker 6: be mayor of New York.
12:06
Speaker 5: Mandani.
12:07
Speaker 6: Nope, so I got it wrong. I sent around a tweet.
12:14
Speaker 6: I sent around a tweet and I realized I misspelled
12:17
Speaker 6: his name, and look, it's not a name you and
12:19
Speaker 6: I are terribly used to. But I came up with
12:21
Speaker 6: the mnemonic to figure it out. It's m a m
12:24
Speaker 6: as in Mary d a n y and I actually
12:27
Speaker 6: invert the N and the M. I call him Mandani
12:29
Speaker 6: and that's not it. And and the way I figured
12:32
Speaker 6: out the mnemonic was, ma'am, it's Danny because it's mam Danny,
12:37
Speaker 6: which is really hard, like you keep saying madani, but
12:40
Speaker 6: it's not. It's am. And I'm just look if we're
12:46
Speaker 6: But the only way to say, Mam Danny is if
12:48
Speaker 6: you proceed it with comrade, because when I'm addressing communists,
12:52
Speaker 6: I call him comrades because that is who he is.
12:54
Speaker 6: And by the way, if you think that, by the way,
12:58
Speaker 6: let's be clear, Ben, you will think of m mnemonic.
13:01
Speaker 6: You're gonna be Mammotstanni. You're you're gonna be on the radio,
13:04
Speaker 6: you're gonna be doing CNN, and you're gonna think mammots Stanny.
13:08
Speaker 6: You will repeat it. It will it will be a little
13:11
Speaker 6: voice in the back of your head and you won't
13:13
Speaker 6: screw it up. And our listeners want either. But just
13:15
Speaker 6: a show. I'm not engaged in hyperbole. Maybe you're saying, oh,
13:18
Speaker 6: come on, he can't.
13:19
Speaker 5: Be that bad.
13:20
Speaker 6: He's not an actual communist. I want to I want
13:23
Speaker 6: you to listen to what his father said, that this
13:26
Speaker 6: is comrade man Danny's father talking about his view of
13:31
Speaker 6: the United States, and just play the clip.
13:34
Speaker 7: America is the genesis of what we call settler colonialism,
13:40
Speaker 7: and the American model was exported all around the world.
13:46
Speaker 7: Abraham Lincoln generalized the solution of reservations. They herded American
13:53
Speaker 7: Indians into separate territories for the Nazis. For the Nazis,
14:02
Speaker 7: this was the inspiration. Hitler realized two things. One that
14:09
Speaker 7: genocide was doable. It is possible to do genocide. That's
14:16
Speaker 7: what Hitler realized. Second thing Hitler realized is that you
14:22
Speaker 7: don't have to have a common citizenship. You can differentiate
14:26
Speaker 7: between people. The Nuremberg laws were patterned after American laws. Anyway,
14:34
Speaker 7: the US put Indians in reservations. The US invented the model.
14:42
Speaker 1: I mean, that's where he gets his teachings from. That's
14:45
Speaker 1: pretty clear.
14:47
Speaker 6: So listen, I want you to hear what Mamdani's dad
14:51
Speaker 6: just said. Abraham Lincoln was the model for Adolf Hitler
14:58
Speaker 6: and the Nazi He's got concentration camps from the United
15:03
Speaker 6: States of America. Now let me just ask him just
15:06
Speaker 6: I want to ask you, Ben seriously and fairly, someone
15:09
Speaker 6: who says that. Do you think he loves America?
15:13
Speaker 2: No?
15:13
Speaker 1: I think he hates America. I think he wants to
15:14
Speaker 1: trash America. I think he thinks America is literally the
15:17
Speaker 1: enemy of him.
15:19
Speaker 6: Now, is there any indication any whatsoever that Comrade Mandani's
15:25
Speaker 6: the son his views are one iota different from Daddy's.
15:32
Speaker 2: No.
15:33
Speaker 1: In fact, it's almost like one one for one super
15:36
Speaker 1: clone is the way I would describe it.
15:38
Speaker 6: Well, okay, but but but let's let's let's play devil's advocate.
15:42
Speaker 6: You know, look, sometimes dads are whack jobs and sons
15:45
Speaker 6: become more reasonable. And and Comrade Mondani, I mean, he
15:49
Speaker 6: did live in New York. He's presumably got some affection
15:53
Speaker 6: for the people of New York. He's running for governor
15:55
Speaker 6: New York. Surely something like what happened on September eleventh,
15:59
Speaker 6: Surely that him packed at him. The entire world watched
16:02
Speaker 6: in horror as radical Islamic terrorists flew not one but
16:05
Speaker 6: two planes into the World Trade Center, murdering between the
16:09
Speaker 6: World Trade Center and the Pentagon, murdering roughly three thousand
16:12
Speaker 6: Americans in that horrible morning in September. Surely, young comrade
16:17
Speaker 6: mom Dami was horrified at what he saw and horrified
16:22
Speaker 6: at the mass slaughter. Well, let's give a listen to
16:26
Speaker 6: what in his own words, this is not daddy, this
16:29
Speaker 6: is the sun the comrade. Here's what he said he
16:33
Speaker 6: thought the day after September eleventh. Give a listen. I
16:38
Speaker 6: want to use this moment to speak to the Muslims
16:40
Speaker 6: of New York City.
16:42
Speaker 2: I want to speak to the memory of.
16:44
Speaker 6: My aunt who stopped taking the subway after September eleventh
16:50
Speaker 6: because she did not feel safe in her hit jab.
16:54
Speaker 1: I mean, let's go back to the quote there center,
16:56
Speaker 1: my aunt stopped taking the subway after nine to eleven
16:59
Speaker 1: because she didn't feel safe in her a job. He's
17:04
Speaker 1: actually claiming that she is the victim of nine to eleven.
17:08
Speaker 6: Well, and let's be clear, among all of the sentiments
17:12
Speaker 6: did he express I looked at those planes flying into
17:15
Speaker 6: the towers, and I felt horrified. But by the way,
17:19
Speaker 6: as a Muslim, he presumably could say I was horrified
17:22
Speaker 6: by someone who shares my faith could be so radicalized
17:24
Speaker 6: as to murder three thousand people. He actually could say
17:27
Speaker 6: something powerful there. He didn't say that. He didn't say,
17:30
Speaker 6: I mourned for the people at the top of that
17:32
Speaker 6: tower as flames roared around them, who faced a choice
17:37
Speaker 6: between burning alive and jumping to their death. And you
17:40
Speaker 6: and I both watched those mornings in a horror as
17:43
Speaker 6: people leapt from one hundred stories high and fell to
17:47
Speaker 6: their death because the alternative was to burn alive, like
17:51
Speaker 6: it was a moment America was under attack, and yet
17:54
Speaker 6: somehow comrade Mondami that that is I can't pronounce his
17:58
Speaker 6: name either, even with my nemonic, I'm getting it wrong.
18:00
Speaker 6: But somehow he doesn't express that sentiment. He's like the
18:05
Speaker 6: horror is the next day my aunt couldn't wear her job.
18:09
Speaker 6: And by the way, for all of the leftist rhetoric
18:13
Speaker 6: that the crime of nine to eleven was Islamophobia, I'm
18:17
Speaker 6: not aware of a meaningful uptick in violence against Muslims
18:21
Speaker 6: in New York. I actually remember this country coming together,
18:24
Speaker 6: coming together, strongly, embracing each other, unifying. I remember President
18:29
Speaker 6: George W. Bush, and I think the finest moment of
18:31
Speaker 6: his presidency standing on the rubble in New York City
18:35
Speaker 6: holding a bullhorn, and when someone from the crowd with
18:38
Speaker 6: firefighters all around, called out, we can't hear you, he said,
18:42
Speaker 6: I can hear you, and soon the world will hear you.
18:44
Speaker 6: The people that knock down these towers will hear you.
18:49
Speaker 6: That was a moment where if you had the tiniest
18:53
Speaker 6: bit of love for America, you don't have to be
18:55
Speaker 6: the most patriotic soul. You just have to give a
18:59
Speaker 6: tiny little crap about the United States of America. You
19:04
Speaker 6: felt a surge of yes, we will stand strong against
19:09
Speaker 6: the vicious murderers who attacked us. And yet comrade Mondami
19:14
Speaker 6: expresses none of that. Apparently nine to eleven was all about.
19:18
Speaker 6: And look, he was clear, I'm talking to the Muslims.
19:20
Speaker 6: By the way, if you're Jewish, and I got to say,
19:22
Speaker 6: it is astonishing some significant percentage of Jewish voters in
19:28
Speaker 6: New York or voting for comrade Mondami. I don't get that.
19:33
Speaker 6: It's like if you go to a farm and go
19:36
Speaker 6: to the lambs and the sheep and say, hey, we
19:40
Speaker 6: would like to have an election to select the butcher
19:43
Speaker 6: like he views them, I believe, as the enemy. And
19:50
Speaker 6: yet yeah, you have voters. And by the way, there
19:53
Speaker 6: are wealthy socialites on the Upper East Side who were
19:59
Speaker 6: voting for him, and and and are perfectly oblivious. You
20:03
Speaker 6: know when when comrade Momdani abolishes the police and a
20:08
Speaker 6: crackhead kicks in their front door, suddenly they're there. Let
20:15
Speaker 6: me ask you, Ben, seriously, you spend a lot. You
20:17
Speaker 6: spent more time in New York than I have. I mean,
20:19
Speaker 6: you were a cate ND contributor for like eeteen years.
20:25
Speaker 6: Help me try to get in the mind. Let's assume
20:28
Speaker 6: you're a multi millionaire Upper East Side socialite, try to
20:32
Speaker 6: explain the thinking of saying, I want to vote for
20:36
Speaker 6: a communist jihadist.
20:39
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's it's very interesting because there's I think
20:42
Speaker 1: there's two things here, is we as we really break
20:45
Speaker 1: this down. One, I think that to be a socialite
20:49
Speaker 1: in New York it is now a mandate that you're
20:52
Speaker 1: a liberal Democrat. You will not rise in the New
20:55
Speaker 1: York ranks or the Hamptons if you're a hardcore conservative.
20:59
Speaker 1: I think that that's part of it is just.
21:01
Speaker 6: And by the way, to be clear, the alternative.
21:03
Speaker 5: Here where it's going right.
21:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, but to be clear, the alternative here, we're talking
21:08
Speaker 6: to Andrew friggin Cuomo. We're not talking go right wing.
21:12
Speaker 6: We're not talking Donald Trump, We're not talking Ted Cruz.
21:15
Speaker 6: We're talking to Andrew frigging Cuomo, a left wing Democrat,
21:19
Speaker 6: corrupt woman grabbing like like like, I'm not a big
21:23
Speaker 6: Cuomo fan. But it's not like, if you're a New
21:27
Speaker 6: York voter you have to suddenly pull the lever for
21:31
Speaker 6: Jesse Helms and yet, given the choice between a solidly
21:38
Speaker 6: left wing Democrat and a full on communist, and I
21:43
Speaker 6: believe America hating Jihannist. It sure looks like I hope
21:49
Speaker 6: these polls are wrong and maybe a burst of sanity
21:52
Speaker 6: will pull us back, but it sure looks like a
21:55
Speaker 6: ton of New Yorkers are gonna say, nope, nope, I
21:58
Speaker 6: don't want partial lefty, I want full on.
22:02
Speaker 5: Yeah, I want full blown commie. Yeah.
22:05
Speaker 1: Well, and the other thing that's interesting is I was
22:07
Speaker 1: as I was in New York last it was last week.
22:09
Speaker 1: I'm up there almost every other week now, and I
22:12
Speaker 1: talked to a lot of the people there that live there,
22:13
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I explain this to me. They feel
22:17
Speaker 1: like they lost so many sane voters because of the COVID.
22:22
Speaker 6: Lockdown in Florida.
22:23
Speaker 1: This is now just yeah, they all went to Florida,
22:26
Speaker 1: they all moved out. Uh, The sane voters just left.
22:30
Speaker 1: The crazy stayed under you know, tyrants like Cuomo who
22:35
Speaker 1: locked them down and took their lives away from them
22:37
Speaker 1: for two years. Uh and and wouldn't allow them to
22:39
Speaker 1: even leave their houses or go out or do anything.
22:41
Speaker 1: I mean, it was a ghost town.
22:42
Speaker 5: We all know.
22:43
Speaker 1: New York was a ghost town for a very long
22:46
Speaker 1: time because the lockdown's there, and and so you lost
22:50
Speaker 1: a large group of voters that were sane. I'm not
22:53
Speaker 1: saying conservative, I'm just saying they weren't socialist, communist type voters.
22:58
Speaker 1: And this is now what you're left with. And so
23:01
Speaker 1: I now look at this, I'm like, all right, Ma,
23:03
Speaker 1: Natti wins. I think it's pretty clear he's going to
23:06
Speaker 1: be the mayor.
23:07
Speaker 6: Of don't concede that. I'm actually not willing to concede that.
23:11
Speaker 6: I'm going to hold out, hope until the last vote
23:12
Speaker 6: is counted. It sure looks like that from the polling,
23:16
Speaker 6: but but I'm not willing to concede that. And by
23:18
Speaker 6: the way, you might think, Look, one of the things
23:21
Speaker 6: we try to do on Verdict is we try to
23:23
Speaker 6: be real. So so we try not to engage in
23:26
Speaker 6: just partisan rhetoric and hyperbole. Like when I call him
23:30
Speaker 6: a communist jahatist, I call him a communist because he's
23:34
Speaker 6: called for, among other things, seizing the means of production,
23:38
Speaker 6: which is the very essence of the economic core of communism. Yeah,
23:45
Speaker 6: I call him a jahatist. Okay, let me read you
23:48
Speaker 6: from his tweet on October seventeenth. Quote today, at masjig
23:56
Speaker 6: Masjid al Taqua. I had the pleasure of meeting with
23:59
Speaker 6: Emam Siraj Wahaj, one of the nation's foremost Muslim leaders
24:04
Speaker 6: and a pillar of the Bedste community for nearly a
24:07
Speaker 6: half century. I was also joined by CM doctor Yusuf
24:10
Speaker 6: Salam of Harlem, a beautiful jumma. And he sends out
24:14
Speaker 6: a tweet. Now, who is the person that he's taking
24:17
Speaker 6: a picture with. Well, this particular Emam is in fact
24:25
Speaker 6: an unindicted co conspirator in the nineteen ninety three World
24:30
Speaker 6: Trade Center bombing that killed six people. He also preached
24:36
Speaker 6: that homosexuality is a disease. And by the way, there
24:40
Speaker 6: are a bunch of left wing gay and lesbian people
24:43
Speaker 6: in New York who are voting for this guy. And
24:46
Speaker 6: he also called for an unarmed quote army of ten
24:52
Speaker 6: thousand men to wage a gun free Jahad through New
24:58
Speaker 6: York City. That's what the email I'm called for. That's
25:02
Speaker 6: who comrade Mamdani poses for a picture with and tweets
25:06
Speaker 6: out three weeks before the election. He's not hiding it.
25:11
Speaker 6: He's saying, yeah, he will stand with the jahadis against you,
25:16
Speaker 6: the innocent citizens. And I got to tell you. Look
25:19
Speaker 6: to give you a sense also of just how whacked
25:24
Speaker 6: out the Democratic Socialist of America, which is Comrade Mondani's party,
25:32
Speaker 6: just yesterday they put out a statement calling on the
25:39
Speaker 6: United States to release Elias Rodriguez. Who is Elias Rodriguez.
25:45
Speaker 6: Elias Rodriguez is the deranged terrorist who executed two Jews
25:52
Speaker 6: in Washington, d C.
25:53
Speaker 2: This spring.
25:55
Speaker 6: And you recall this Elias Rodriguez, by the way, he's
25:58
Speaker 6: not a Palestinian. He's an Hispanic dude from Chicago. But
26:04
Speaker 6: he's a left winger who was suckled on the teat
26:07
Speaker 6: of Marxism and America hate and Jew hate, that is
26:11
Speaker 6: the left. And he murdered this young couple who had
26:15
Speaker 6: just been engaged. As you know, I didn't know this
26:18
Speaker 6: young couple, but a fact I discovered after they were murdered.
26:22
Speaker 6: The two of them met at an event where I
26:25
Speaker 6: was speaking, and I knew multiple friends of mine who
26:29
Speaker 6: knew them well. And it was literally I was the
26:31
Speaker 6: speaker at the event. They both came to it. They
26:33
Speaker 6: were both involved in the pro Israel community. They met,
26:36
Speaker 6: they fell in love, and this lunatic didn't shoot them
26:39
Speaker 6: once he unloaded his entire magazine into the two of
26:42
Speaker 6: them murdering a young man and a young woman simply
26:45
Speaker 6: because they were Jewish. He didn't know them. All he
26:47
Speaker 6: knew was these are Jews. I must murder them. He screamed,
26:52
Speaker 6: Free Palestine. Now let me read what the DSA Liberation
26:58
Speaker 6: Caucus put out, which is the Democrat Socialists of America.
27:02
Speaker 6: Excellent statement that we are proud to add our name
27:06
Speaker 6: to free Elias Rodriguez and all political prisoners. So understand,
27:14
Speaker 6: Comrade Mondami's political party is telling the world that a
27:23
Speaker 6: terrorist who murders in cold blood to Jews because they're Jews,
27:29
Speaker 6: should not be charged, should not be prosecuted, should be
27:33
Speaker 6: let to go free, presumably because killing Jews in the
27:37
Speaker 6: interest of their radical leftist ideology is deserving of no punishment.
27:42
Speaker 6: They're not saying, let him serve a month in jail.
27:46
Speaker 6: They're not saying let him serve a week in jail.
27:48
Speaker 6: They're saying, let him go today with no consequences whatsoever
27:54
Speaker 6: for the cold blooded murder of two innocent people.
27:57
Speaker 5: That is.
28:00
Speaker 6: The party of comrade Mondami, who, by all appearances in
28:06
Speaker 6: the polling, is about to become the next mayor of
28:08
Speaker 6: New York City. And I will say, listen, Ben, there
28:11
Speaker 6: are a lot of Republicans who are saying what you
28:15
Speaker 6: said is, which is, hey, this is great for Republicans,
28:17
Speaker 6: it's great for conservatives. This will show the world just
28:20
Speaker 6: how whacked out the left is. I got to tell you,
28:22
Speaker 6: my heart grieves. Listen, New York it is a great
28:28
Speaker 6: American city. It is still the center of finance in
28:32
Speaker 6: America in the world. It is the center of media
28:35
Speaker 6: at America in the world. And much like I agree
28:39
Speaker 6: for San Francisco, an iconic American city. Look, San Francisco
28:42
Speaker 6: doesn't embrace your values of mine, but I don't like
28:46
Speaker 6: to see lunatics like Gavin Newsom and other leftists destroying
28:50
Speaker 6: cities that that that are a central part of who
28:53
Speaker 6: America is. And I got to say, I think a
28:57
Speaker 6: huge problem with what's happening in New York is young people,
29:01
Speaker 6: young young people in their twenties who have college degrees,
29:05
Speaker 6: who were radicalized in college, who sat in the student
29:10
Speaker 6: lounges drinking lattes and smoking clothes cigarettes and or actually
29:16
Speaker 6: bongs or whatever and close thing.
29:18
Speaker 5: Don't forget that. I don't know, but the hand I.
29:22
Speaker 6: Don't know what you and I were kids. People smoke
29:25
Speaker 6: clob cigarettes. I actually don't even know if college kids
29:27
Speaker 6: do now that that that, but whatever they were doing.
29:32
Speaker 5: Age yourself center, I think you did.
29:34
Speaker 2: Look.
29:35
Speaker 6: You know, I'm going to be fifty five in December,
29:37
Speaker 6: so it's uh. But the beauty of beauty of it
29:40
Speaker 6: is in the Senate, they still think I'm twelve. I mean,
29:44
Speaker 6: like the median age is one hundred and six truth,
29:46
Speaker 6: and so you know, they they think I'm running around
29:49
Speaker 6: in short shorts with a beanie. But you know, it's
29:54
Speaker 6: a bunch of twenty somethings who have never known anything
29:59
Speaker 6: except college life, and they've been suckled on the lies
30:03
Speaker 6: of their Marxist professors, and they think, yes, join the revolution,
30:08
Speaker 6: globalized into Fada. They don't even necessarily know what it means,
30:13
Speaker 6: but they feel and and by the way, they're also
30:17
Speaker 6: unhappy with life and angst and and a lot of
30:20
Speaker 6: these twenty four year olds, you are mad that they're
30:22
Speaker 6: not billionaires and driving Lamborghinis yet, and so they're like, Okay,
30:27
Speaker 6: let's just attack the actual billionaires who built companies and
30:31
Speaker 6: that'll make me feel better.
30:34
Speaker 5: Well, and it's New York City now, I mean, it
30:35
Speaker 5: really is.
30:36
Speaker 1: There are so many people there they're going to vote
30:38
Speaker 1: for him because he has basically turned public Enemy number
30:42
Speaker 1: one into successful New Yorkers that are wealthy, and he's
30:46
Speaker 1: saying that they've stolen something from you that you never had,
30:49
Speaker 1: and we're going to take some of it back and
30:51
Speaker 1: give it to you.
30:52
Speaker 5: It's buying votes one oh one.
30:54
Speaker 1: Your life sucks because of these evil rich people that
30:58
Speaker 1: have all the one percenters Occupy Wall Street two point
31:01
Speaker 1: zero or three point oho, whatever version you want to
31:04
Speaker 1: describe this as. And I think that's the part that
31:07
Speaker 1: scares me the most is that you can now lose
31:10
Speaker 1: another great American city the way that you describe San Francisco.
31:14
Speaker 1: Look at places like Detroit, Atlanta, Baltimore, Memphis, the list
31:17
Speaker 1: goes on and on. The only good news is there
31:20
Speaker 1: is a cause and effect, and I think that's why
31:23
Speaker 1: Donald Trump got elected. I think that's also why he's
31:26
Speaker 1: being so successful right now. That's why I say, hey,
31:29
Speaker 1: I need an aoc A Mendani to remind America you
31:33
Speaker 1: don't want any part of this, and conservatives are getting
31:36
Speaker 1: it done for you right now. I think that's the
31:38
Speaker 1: blessing in disguise here.
31:39
Speaker 6: Look, the unfortunate thing is, and I don't think this
31:42
Speaker 6: is hyperbole. People are going to die if and when
31:46
Speaker 6: Comrade Mondami is elected that that is going to be
31:50
Speaker 6: the concet savagery listen. I was in New York on Friday,
31:53
Speaker 6: so I was there campaigning for Mike Lawler. Mike Lawler
31:56
Speaker 6: is a Republican congressman from New York. He's in one
32:00
Speaker 6: one of the most competitive districts in America. Mike's a
32:02
Speaker 6: good guy. He he is not as conservative as you
32:05
Speaker 6: and I are, but given that district he is. He
32:10
Speaker 6: is a Republican who gets elected and get He's as
32:13
Speaker 6: conservatives you can get, and he fights for his district.
32:16
Speaker 6: And and I like Mike, and he asked me, will
32:18
Speaker 6: you come up and campaign? And so I joined him.
32:20
Speaker 6: I joined him number one at the Conservative Party of
32:22
Speaker 6: New York that they had a big dinner and they
32:24
Speaker 6: had me come in and speak and I actually said something.
32:27
Speaker 6: I said, if Comrade Mamdani is elected, I'm gonna make
32:31
Speaker 6: a nomination right now, which is a year from now.
32:34
Speaker 6: I want to name him the Conservative Party of New
32:37
Speaker 6: York Man of the Year because Comrade Madani is going
32:41
Speaker 6: to make more people join the Conservative Party in New
32:44
Speaker 6: York than anyone has in history as they realize these
32:49
Speaker 6: people are nuts. And I'm going to make a second
32:53
Speaker 6: nomination if he is elected. I'm going gonna make this
32:55
Speaker 6: nomination now. And remember the state write this down, Diaz,
32:59
Speaker 6: our producer, right there, the state down a year from now,
33:02
Speaker 6: bring it, bring it up. And on this podcast, I
33:04
Speaker 6: am going to nominate right now, Comrade Mondani as the
33:09
Speaker 6: Texas Realature of the Year, because not only is he
33:12
Speaker 6: going to drive New Yorkers to join the Republican Party
33:15
Speaker 6: and the Conservative Party, but he is going to result
33:19
Speaker 6: He is going to rent more U hauls than the
33:23
Speaker 6: very best Willie Lowman salesman that has ever been in
33:28
Speaker 6: U haul of people moving from New York and coming
33:31
Speaker 6: to Texas and coming to Florida. And anyone with any
33:33
Speaker 6: sense is going to get out of this. Gavin Newsom,
33:36
Speaker 6: he is Gavin Newsom. And by the way, okay, did
33:40
Speaker 6: you hear Gavin Newsom on the podcast discussing his rough,
33:43
Speaker 6: hard scrabble life eating wonderbread growing up in the hood,
33:47
Speaker 6: Because you know, Gavin was was an oppressed youth. Did
33:54
Speaker 6: did you see that.
33:54
Speaker 1: It was almost as oppressed as he was during the
33:56
Speaker 1: COVID lockdowns, when he was the only one allowed to
33:58
Speaker 1: have dinner with his friends without mass on.
34:00
Speaker 5: You know.
34:01
Speaker 6: Look, to be clear, Gavin Newsom is California Royalties, fourth
34:05
Speaker 6: or fifth generation California old money. His daddy was one
34:10
Speaker 6: of the lead lawyers for the Getty billionaire fortune. He
34:17
Speaker 6: grew up. He was featured in the San Francisco Paper
34:20
Speaker 6: in an article entitled growing up Rich. And to be clear,
34:24
Speaker 6: he started a winery with the Getty millions billions actually,
34:29
Speaker 6: but millions from them. Started a winery at age twenty five. Now, Benjamin,
34:33
Speaker 6: let me ask you, did you start a winery at
34:35
Speaker 6: h twenty five?
34:36
Speaker 5: No?
34:37
Speaker 1: Well, I feel like I worked really hard, but I
34:39
Speaker 1: promise you it was not a winery at twenty five.
34:42
Speaker 6: And look, it's okay. I don't fault Gavin for the
34:47
Speaker 6: success of his parents, or his grandparents or his great
34:49
Speaker 6: great grandparents. And it's amazing how many leftists were raised
34:54
Speaker 6: with silver spoons and inserted just about any place you
34:57
Speaker 6: could insert a spoon. But when he he pretends like
35:01
Speaker 6: he's on this this NBA podcast and he's talking about, oh,
35:05
Speaker 6: I just had to support myself. I had to support
35:07
Speaker 6: myself playing ball like what a load, what a croc?
35:15
Speaker 6: And it's pathological Newsom is running a different scam than
35:21
Speaker 6: Mondani is, but it's the same scam.
35:24
Speaker 1: Don't forget to share this podcast, by the way, with
35:26
Speaker 1: your family and your friends on social media wherever you
35:29
Speaker 1: can hit that subscribe or auto download
35:31
Speaker 5: Button and I'll talk to you again tomorrow
