In this solo Friday-night show from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, I cover a packed slate: John Bolton’s indictment over alleged mishandling of classified documents and how it echoes prior controversies; the Schumer-led shutdown standoff and why Democrats are digging in over funding priorities; and the “No Kings” protests, including the NYC rally’s sponsors and what that signals about the left.
I then break down the fiery New York City mayoral debate among Andrew Cuomo, Curtis Sliwa, and Zoran Mamdani—touching on crime, policing, antisemitism, National Guard authority, and each candidate’s experience (or lack thereof). We also examine Virginia’s attorney general debate, where incumbent Jason Miyares hammered Jay Jones over violent rhetoric and a 116-mph reckless driving case tied to “community service” at his own PAC. On foreign policy, I recap President Trump’s calls with Vladimir Putin, his Oval Office meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, why Tomahawk missiles are “off the table,” and whether a Budapest meeting could lead to a ceasefire. I close with a look at new soft-disclosure buzz around UFOs/UAPs—highlighting public comments from senior officials—and why it raises bigger strategic questions than the headlines suggest.
Programming notes: crypto market swings and what to watch with our resident crypto psychic Marissa Lee on Saturday at 12 PM CT; how to connect, support, and engage with the show and future topics.

Mhmm. Transmitting live from the asylum studios deep in the bowels of Southwest Texas, it's the Joe Rouge show. The show where we talk about anything and everything. Where nothing is sacred, nothing is watered down, and nothing is PC. Alrighty. Hey, folks. This is Joe Roos, and it is great to be with you on this Friday evening here live transmitting
[00:06:56] Unknown:
live once again from the asylum studios, from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass. And as always, we're gonna do the very best we can to bring you the best quality talk radio we can muster without all the bluster. Folks, welcome to the Joe Russo. And like I said, it is Friday. Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. I hope you guys are too. It's been one of those kind of crazy weeks. Let's close that so don't make any noise. Alright. Alrighty. How you guys doing? It's great to be with you guys again. It really is. You know, sometimes I think people think I say that at the beginning of the show just, you know, for kicks and giggles, but it's true. I I look forward to being here with you guys on these weeknights that we do our shows.
And, again, we don't have any guests lined up for tonight, which is fine. That's okay. We seem to make it through Wednesday night. Okay? And, must not have been too bad. I wasn't really thrilled with the show to be honest with you after after it was over with. I was messaging with my my producer, then she was commenting about the the video quality, so the lighting was good, you know, sound was good, all that stuff, and I was like, well that's great. I said at least the suck had good quality, you know. But, and that was my fault really because I I I, you know, I tried to put something together, and, I was very distracted while I was trying to put it all together. I'm I'm not gonna make any excuses for it. It's my fault.
But, wasn't too thrilled with it. So hopefully tonight's show is a little better. We got a few things we wanna talk about. I was actually able to get some clips and some things to, to share with you. Some little bit more prepared for the solo show, and that's, you know, so we'll get to that here momentarily. But we got a few things to talk about. A few things just some of the quick headlines that we're gonna cover here today. We got John Bolton, the former NSA, director was, indicted. We have, let's see what else we got. We got No Kings popping up, tomorrow all around the place, and we got some, moronic comments from, Schmucky Schumer.
And so we'll, we'll play some of that audio or video actually, and we'll, you know, we'll we'll play it through, then we'll we'll go through it again and talk about all the nonsense that he's spewing in there. It's it's quite interesting actually. And then I'm gonna cover some of the things about, some of the highlights from the, mayoral debate in New York. Now I, you know, I cover New York a lot because I'm initially from New York. So, you know, I have kind of an interest in what's going on there. I still have my family living there. So I'm I'm, you know, of course, I'm naturally concerned that my family's gonna be okay with what's going on there. And, you know, the the it's it's crazy that the city of New York is this close this close to electing a, a a a socialist communist Muslim, which to me doesn't seem to make any sense how all of that can come together.
But, they're this close to it, and it's it's it's a very very dangerous time in New York. So that's why I'm I'm paying more attention to it, than the local stuff here in Texas. Then we're gonna talk a little bit about, Jay Jones, the, Democrat in Virginia who, is, seeking the office of the attorney general of the state of Virginia, top law enforcement office in the in the state of Virginia, and some of the things that, he has said. We kinda highlighted some of it on the last show. And then, big news. You know, we had, Zelensky today over at the at the White House and, talking about, trying to make the case for Tomahawk missiles, in in his ongoing struggle against, Vladimir Putin and Russia, and see how that turned out.
And then, what else we got? Let's see. We're gonna talk a little bit about, the president's phone call with, Vladimir Putin today as well. And then, we're gonna look at a couple of other things, and then I saw an article that that came up right, before I I started the show, and I thought it was very, very interesting, and it has to do with, Secretary of State Rubio. And, it's not bad. Don't don't misunderstand. I'm not, you know, saying something horrible happened. No. It didn't, but something interesting. A very interesting, movie or video is gonna be coming out sometime next month.
And, and and I got a clip from it, like a highlight. Not not a highlight, a promo. Yeah. A promo. And, it's very interesting the subject matter of it, and especially given current things going on in the world and in the universe around us. It's it's very very very interesting. But, so we got a few things we're gonna talk about here tonight, so hopefully we'll be able to navigate our way through it. And, you know, and then we'll we'll we'll call it a wrap for the weekend. And then tomorrow, we have our show with our resident crypto psychic, Marissa Lee, at 12PM central time. So 12PM central time, is our, every two week show with, our crypto psychic, Marissa Lee. So we're looking forward to that as always. Always great information. She's pretty much been spot on with everything. And, so I've gotta be paying attention to this because, you know, the crypto markets right now are crazy. They're just up and down, up and down. I get these alerts, through one of the, the the the, the exchanges that I use, for my cryptos. And, it's like every every few minutes I'm getting, this is up, this is down, this is down again, this is up, this is down, you know, and it's it's, you know, it's nerve wracking to watch. And and I so what I actually did is I shut the, the notifications off so I don't keep on seeing these things because the more I see it, the more I panic. And I'm like, yeah, I gotta get out of here. You know, gotta get away from the cryptos.
But, just hold the line. Hold the line. Just hold, hold, hold. It's I think it's gonna get better. And, we'll we'll talk to Marissa about that tomorrow on tomorrow's show. So make sure you tune in for that live here on Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, x, Twitch, all of those platforms that we're on. And, also on the audio streams, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, you know, all those great ones. And plus also the modern podcast apps like Podcast Guru, fountain.fm, so on, where you can actually hear the show live, as it's being done. So, interesting interesting stuff down the road. Alright. Now tonight, as always, our show is brought to you by podhome.fm.
Podhome is my host platform for the audio. As you I've talked about them for quite some time now. They are a fantastic platform to be a part of. It's the most modern, easy to use podcast hosting platform that you're gonna come across anywhere in the market today. You can use Pod Home to publish your episodes, enhance your audio, automatically generate transcripts, titles, chapters, show notes, more and more and more. They keep on adding all of these great features, and they just recently updated, their AI platform, that helps with the generation of your show notes and show titles and so on and so forth. And it is great. And, I use it quite a bit. I'll be honest with you. I don't really have a lot of a lot of time to sit and write all the show notes that that go out.
So, a lot of that stuff is done through the AI, but, you know, I love the fact that it writes in the first person now instead of, third person. And also, I don't know if you've noticed, and maybe you haven't been paying attention to it, if you actually read the show notes, it actually lists resources now, which is fantastic. I mean, that that just saves so much time in adding that stuff afterwards. So, and you get all of that all of that plus you can podcast you you could do your podcast live like we're doing right now across the audio platforms, through podhome.fm.
And, excuse me, something just a little frog in the throat there. And also, Pod Home gives you a website. If you don't have one of your own yet, you or if you're if you have one and you wanna bring it over to Pod Home, you can do that too. And Pod Home will integrate that into their platform and, gives you a really, really well put together integrated, website. So, fully featured. It's fantastic. You try to I did try it out with my previous show, for a little while. We wanted to play with it for a bit and see how it worked and so on and so forth. And, it, it it's really nice. It works really well. So when you get that plus podcasting live, plus, like I said, the the the, you know, publishing the episodes, enhancing the audio, generating transcripts, and all of that stuff, you get all of that for an affordable monthly subscription of $15.99.
That's it. $15.99. If you sign up today, you get thirty days free. So you get thirty days of of free use of the entire platform, and then you get $15.99 a month thereafter. And I promise you, you're gonna love the platform. It's a great platform to be on. And, customer service is great. Folks there are great. It's a small operation. It's not so is that's the reason why they can charge as little as they do, because it is a small operation, you know, and they do they do that on purpose. They do it purposely. They give you a a good quality product for a great price.
So check them out. I've been on other platforms, and I've used several prior to coming to Pod Home. And, I'll be honest with you. Paid sometimes almost three times the amount that you're paying for, at Pod Home, and you got less. You got less features. And, so that that was a big motivating factor for me to swing over to Pod Home. So check them out. Podhome.fm. Podhome.fm. Also, while you're at it, if you would, check out our website, joroos.com.

[email protected]. Or right down below over there somewhere, you have a contact a comment section. You can just leave some comments down there, and, we'll be happy to get to those as well. And then as I was gonna say, also, if you would head over to our support page and check out our, our our opportunities for donating to the show. Alright?

And that donation could be your time, your talent, your treasure. We have a number of folks that that donate their time, their talent, and treasure, and it's it's it's fantastic. I appreciate that. Helps kinda keep everything going.
And, another thing that I I I don't really wanna talk about too much because it's it's it's just an annoyance, and, you know, the the the more that, you know, the more that these things pop up, the more that I think that, you know, there there needs to be some kind of major change in the way government operates, especially when it comes to taxes and property taxes. I mean, this is ridiculous. I mean, absolutely ridiculous. Alright. So, earlier this month, I received a letter that, there seems to be a shortage in the escrow for my home, my studio, all that stuff.
And, as a result of that, there's a shortfall, and, I need to come up with, just about 3,000. I think it's, like, 2,800 right now, because some folks had donated some which which we appreciate. So we need to come up with another $2,800. This way, we can, pay this shortage upfront. This way, that doesn't break it down over the course of the next year and drive my mortgage payment up a ridiculous amount, and, make it really difficult to keep things moving. So, if you have the ability to do so, if you have the means to do so, just there's a QR code up on the screen, if you would, for our go fund me. If you could just head over there, take a look at it. And if you are able to do it, and if you're moved enough to do it, please make a donation. We'd really appreciate that. Any donations that we get through the through the, support for the show is all being routed up that way as well. So, we really do appreciate that, and, it'll just make things a lot easier. Because what we're looking at, if in the event I mean, I'm starting to feel like Alex Jones here pitching.
If, not that I I I love Alex Jones. I I watch him all the time and, you know, we actually have an affiliate link with him, but which I haven't really talked about much and I should, but, we'll do that in a sec. The, the the reality of it is is that if we can't come up with the enough to take care of the shortfall, we're probably gonna have to severely, change the way we do things. And that might mean, you know, cutting back shows, going to prerecorded stuff, maybe only doing shows on weekends because I'm gonna probably end up having to go and, get another job, just to pay the taxes, believe it or not. Another job just to pay taxes, believe that crap.
This is the stuff, and and what really bugs me too is that and I'm gonna start on something. What really bugs me too is that we had an opportunity here in Texas to, to to eliminate property taxes, and the sitting speaker of the house would not even allow it to come to the floor. Do you believe that? A Republican speaker of the house refused to allow an issue that affects every Texan in the state and refused to even have discussion on it. And instead, what they did is they increased taxes, which is why there's a shortfall. So I've said it before, I'm gonna say it again, you know, property taxes are just absolutely immoral. You're already paying for you're already paying the mortgage.
You had to pay a mortgage tax. You gotta pay property tax. You gotta pay, all these taxes, especially here in Texas. I don't know where it is like anywhere else, but here in Texas, I gotta pay I don't know where it is like anywhere else, but here in Texas, I gotta pay a school district tax. I don't even have kids in school. I don't have kids in school, and I gotta pay a tax, which is a red which is ridiculous amount of money. I should I should have brought the paperwork. I could have read it off to you. A ridiculous amount of money on school tax, hospital district tax, property tax, state tax, city tax, local tax, all the tax tax tax tax tax. When you look at it, you pay more in taxes. I'm paying more in taxes than the principal payment on my mortgage. You believe that shit?
I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't mean to get into all that right there. So but it's frustrating, and it, and I'm sorry for that, and far sorry for the language. I'm really trying to do better with the language. I I really am. I am a Christian man. I I'm a saved man. I should not be using that kind of language. I do, and I I need to stop it. It's it's been bugging me of late, so, forgive me for that and and pray for me on it. Okay. Alright. But, but you understand what I'm saying about tact, it's ridiculous. It is absolute and we had it in our abilities here to change something, and they didn't do it. They didn't do it.
So everybody here that's listening or watching that's in the state of Texas, your taxes could have been gone if your elected official would have done their job in representing their community, their constituency. This is why I say over and over and over again, state politics are so incredibly important. You need to get more involved in state politics. If you are of the like mind, get involved in your local politics. People get to to to the state house here in in in Texas, and they feel like it's a it's a an audition for the, the for the higher seats in in the federal government. And it ought not be.
It ought not be. Hold these people accountable. Hold them accountable for their decisions and their vote. I I guarantee you, because I know I didn't hear about it from any of my, elected representatives in the in the Texas state house about the issue of, we're gonna raise your taxes or eliminate your taxes. I didn't hear a word. I found out by by x. That's how I found out. And a and a and a great patriot and a great Texan by the name of Brian Harrison is a representative for, I think, it's District 10. If I'm not mistaken, it might I think it's District 10.
All over x, all over social media talking about this. That's the only way I I found out about it. And your state representatives failed you. Because I know that I'm not the only one who's dealing with this. I know there's plenty of other people that are dealing with this too. A ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous amount. So again, if you if it if you if you have the means to do it, and if you if you're able to do it, if you can help me, I would appreciate it. I would really would. I'd because I don't wanna stop what we're doing here. I I really don't. I don't know. I don't wanna even cut it down. I I it it took us a year to get this. We we oh, by the way, we finally cracked 500, subscribers or or followers on on Rumble.
Very, very happy about that, you know? That was great. I mean, just a few months ago, we were only at, like, 75, and now we're at over 500, and that's great. That's great. You know, to be we put a lot of effort into this, a lot of work into this. It's not easy doing this, and working a full time job too. You know, let alone doing this, working a full time job, and another part time job, which might have to be, which will affect this. So if you can help out, we appreciate it. Scan the QR code right there. The GoFundMe is right there, or visit the support page on our website at joeroos.com, and, you could, you can help us out in those ways. Alright. I have, sucked up way too much time on that, and I apologize again for the language.
This stuff just fires me up, man. Just fires me up. Alrighty. Well, as I said earlier, so, this is good news. And the the and this is this is something that, you know, it's a long time coming. These investigations and these indictments that are starting to come down on these bad actors. You had James Comey, Leticia James, and now today, you you had John Bolton indicted, for mishandling of classified documents. What what I find very interesting is that, you know, all of the things that they attempted to prosecute president Trump on, and in these kangaroo courts that he set up were successful in some ways, seem to all be coming back on them. Isn't it interesting how they the left, and and I know John Bolton is considered a Republican, but I don't know.
It's just interesting how all the things that they've accused Donald Trump of, they're being caught doing it themselves. Remember the raid at Mar A Lago? And they said that the president was, mishandling classified information by having them in storage at Mar A Lago, which, by the way, he did the right way. He did he got he had the approval from the government on how to store this stuff. He had a separate secure room built in Mar A Lago for these things, and he did it the right way. You had Joe Biden. Oh, and by the way, as the president of The United States and as a former president of The United States, he was allowed to do that. He was allowed to have some of these materials in his possession. Joe Biden had classified materials strewn all over the place in a garage. It's car a a car garage in a house, his house, and other unsecure places.
And, if you remember correctly, they decided not to, not to prosecute or take any kind of action against this because of his age, and they said that, he would just come across like a like an like an like an old man with a bad memory just, you know, ridiculous. But but Joe Biden the documents that Joe Biden had, he had from when he was a senator and he was vice president. Neither one neither one under federal law is allowed to be in possession of classified documents. Only the president of The United States, the former president of The United States. And that's not just Donald Trump, that's every single former president of The United States.
So now you here have John Bolton, who is, indicted who was indicted Thursday, yesterday, over his alleged mishandling of classified documents. The Associated Press said this, former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton was charged Thursday in a federal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information. A person familiar with the matter told the AP. The investigation is the Bolton who served for more than a year in president Donald Trump's first term first administration before being fired in 2019 burst into public view in August when the FBI searched his home in Maryland and his office in Washington for classified records he may have held on to from his years in government. Alright. Now the the concerns over Bolton's mishandling of classified information arose in 2020 when he published a memoir after having a falling out with the president. A copy of the memoir leaked to the New York Times. So this is this is how it all came to came to light. So a copy of the memoir leaked to the New York Times during the first impeachment fight in 2020. The White House told him not to publish it until the classified information allegedly in the book was removed, and he published it anyway.
Posted anyway. Though a Feb though a federal judge declined to order the that Bolton's book, of which thousands of copies had been printed and shipped before going to sale in 2020, be pulled, the judge also ruled that Bolton had likely compromised national security. Now, of course, the Biden administration let the matter drop, but president Trump revived it, revoking Bolton's security clearance earlier this year. Trump initially, bought sorry. The the Trump Trump initially brought the hawkish Bolton into his administration. Remember, John Bolton is, you know, you know, there there was there was nobody in the world that John Bolton didn't wanna bomb.
Just remember that. So he brought hawkish Bolton into his administration apparently to frighten North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un into diplomatic settlement on a nuclear crisis. Trump later fired Bolton and became a dogged critic of the president. Alright? And, I'm I'm gonna tell you, honestly, there there is probably no greater view than this. We're gonna we're gonna screen share this. I I wasn't able to pull the video for it. So let me just, get this up here for you. Bring that up. Boom boom. And
[00:32:16] Unknown:
advisor John Bolton arriving at a United States District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland. He is expected to surrender after being indicted on 18 counts over the alleged mishandling of classified documents. Bolton faces eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information. The documents contained intel on future attacks, foreign missile launches, and human intel sources.
[00:32:45] Unknown:
Alright. So why didn't that go? Okay. There we go. And then we don't force speech now in The United States. We have freedom. So how do you reinforce it with without being There we go. Okay. Sorry about that. I have so many tabs open on the other screen that I couldn't find where that one was. And I thought when I removed it from here, it wouldn't show up. But I I so I apologize for that. Alright. So today, Bolton, he, he plead not guilty to all 18 charges in the, grand in a grand indictment handed down earlier today. Bolton pleaded before magistrate judge in Maryland in a roughly twenty minute proceeding. National security adviser Donald Trump, during his first term, later became a vocal Trump critic, was charged with storing top secret records at home and sharing with relatives, diary diary like notes about his time in the administration that contained classified information.
The indictment also suggested that classified information was exposed when operatives believed to be linked to the Iranian regime hacked Bolton's email account according to the Associated Press. Bolton's lawyer, Abby Lowell, says that his client did not unlawfully share or store any information. Now, of course, we kind of expected him to plead not guilty to it, you know. And what I find very interesting here too is, they hacked Bolton's email account. The email account that they hacked was a private email account that he held on, I think it was Gmail, if I'm not mistaken.
And, I don't know if you noticed this, but every it seems like everyone is getting caught in these things. I've been using things like Gmail, AOL, all that stuff to, and and they all have their private servers, which they're not supposed to have when they're trans when they're handling classified information. And here's guys like John Bolton, Hillary Clinton, all them that are transmitting and sharing top secret classified information via Gmail. Now think about that. Not the most secure way to do it, and it kinda makes you wonder why. Makes you wonder why. Makes me wonder why.
So John Bolton indicted today, another one, on the road to, to, to trial for mishandling classified information. And, of course, that goes you have James come James Comey now. You have Leticia James. You know, you have, now you have, John Bolton. And, you know, I was wondering who's gonna be next. I'm wondering who's gonna be next. We'll see. We shall see. Alright. Let's see what else we got. Alright. This, this came in before the show started. So, so the the house has not voted on a continuing resolution to reopen the federal government, since last month when it passed a clean resolution that would help keep the government funded through November 21, and then the the, the senate is trying to pass the same bill. Well, house speaker Mike Johnson, on Friday, that would be today, extended the lower chamber's recess through next week as the government shutdown becomes a third longest shutdown on record so far at seventeen days. The house has not voted on a continuing resolution to reopen the federal governments in last month when it passed a clean resolution that would keep the government funded through November 21. The senate is trying to pass the same bill.
You you know, well, let me let me finish the article here. The house clerk read an order from Johnson during the brief pro form a session that designated October as a district work week mirroring the same move he made last week. However, lawmakers are expected to be on a forty eight hour notice for chamber business back in the capital, should the need arise. The move comes according the move comes as the current shutdown officially becomes the third longest on record with the second longest being 21 under former president Bill Clinton in 1996.
The longest was during president Donald Trump's first term in 2020 2018 and 02/2019, which lasted thirty five days. And, the next senate vote on reopening the federal government is scheduled for Monday, October 20 at 05:30PM. Now do you really care that the federal government's not conducting business? I mean, they are. Things are still in motion. People are still doing their jobs. Critical jobs are still available, still be still still working and still getting paid. President's gonna be making sure that the military is getting paid. They're getting their paychecks, which is great, and it should be. You see, any when when when shutdowns like this take place, it should never affect. I my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong, drop a comment down below, let me know what you think. But shutdowns should not affect the military or federal law enforcement.
It just shouldn't. It should affect the administrative side of things. Shut down the IRS. Get rid of them. Shut down Department of Energy. Get rid of them. Don't need them. With the government shutdown now for the last seventeen days, I mean, has has the world come to an end? No. Life goes on. The states, though, have to pick up the slack. It's a good way to force the states to do it. And one of the things that I think the the, the entrenched Washington DC folks don't want the American people to realize what the shutdown is, just how much you don't need the federal government involved in every aspect of your life.
It's a good thing. Keep it shut down. Keep it. Who cares? Life moves on. Life goes on. However, Chuck Schumer said that, he didn't that that he was going to, keep the government closed until after, October 18. So I'm very curious. Now they they have this vote set for October 20. Let's see if if if he, moves to reopen the government because this is on him. This is all on the Democrats. They they say that the Republicans are causing the the shutdown. The Republican not causing the shutdown. The Republicans put a bill forward. They have voted on the same thing. Not a bill. I'm sorry. Committee resolution. They've they've voted on the same thing numerous times prior to this.
The reason why they're shutting the the the the the Democrats are not voting in line with this is that the funding for, transgender, health care, quote, unquote health care, and to give illegal aliens access to free health care on the American taxpayer. That's the main thing that they're holding back on. That's the main thing that they don't want. That that's the main thing that the Democrats want to be paid for and funded.
[00:40:25] Unknown:
They deny that. They say that no, no, no. It's illegal for for illegal immigrants to get government benefits and health care insurance and all that stuff,
[00:40:36] Unknown:
but they do. They do. How many how many illegal aliens have we found out have social security numbers? Driver's licenses. No name given, remember? How many of them have we found? How many have have Doge pulled out of the woodwork? Quite a bit. Quite a bit. So the argument that illegals don't get those benefits from the federal government is bullcrap, to be honest. Just to be blunt, it's bullcrap. They do. And that's what they're fighting for. They're fighting to keep the funding in place so that illegal aliens can continue to get government benefits on The US taxpayer.
This is what your taxes are going for. Now well, I'm not gonna get there. Another time. Alright. Well, I'm I'm just gonna say that, you know, it it and one of another thing that really bugs me about this whole thing is that, you know, the government is shut down. Right? And we're we're holding the line for, you know, what's right in that granted, but the American people are struggling to pay their bills, to pay their taxes. Hello? To put food in the in the refrigerator, put food in it to feed their families, but yet the federal government can still cut a check to Argentina for $40,000,000,000.
Prices are still up. Had a great conversation, with a friend yesterday about this who works in the energy business, and we're gonna have him on the show soon. And we'll talk about a number of things, and he explained, you know, from the energy business side of things. And I get it. I understand it. Totally. But it's still affecting people, still hitting their pockets. You know, I I'm looking at going to the market this weekend, and who knows how much I'm gonna spend. I I do need I need a few things. I bought, like, last week, I I picked up, like, six things. It was, like, $75.
That's ridiculous. Energy prices are still high. Everything is still high. Granted it's not as high as it would be under Joe Biden, and if he would have succeeded with his, plan for the green new scam, would have been much, much worse for sure. But please don't get up in a podium and tell us that prices are down and they're going down. They're not. Not where I am anyway. But another issue, and it's it's way off what I was planning on talking about. So, again, so now this weekend, the reason why Chuck Schumer wanted to wait to reopen the government was after the no kings protest weekends.
Alright. So, the no kings movement, protests against Donald Trump and his admin and the administration's policies are set to kick off in cities nationwide on Saturday, so that's tomorrow. So be careful. If you're out and about and you're anywhere near these things, these are violent leftists or potentially violent leftists who have a lot of funding even though they say no. This is organic grassroots stuff. No. A lot of NGOs are behind this, and I'm gonna show you something in a second. So the no kings protest against, president Trump and his administration's policies are set to kick off cities nationwide Saturday to declare that America has no kings. Well, no shit.
I mean, really, no no kidding. There are no kings in America. And what gets me too is, like, you know, Donald Trump has said, you know, he wouldn't he wouldn't mind being a king. But what people what people on the left don't understand is humor. Alright. Donald Trump is like the king of trolls. The king of troll. And I'm gonna show you something in a second, just to give you an example of of what I mean by that. He's the king of trolls. The boss of trolls. Like, if you don't wanna use the word king. So the left has no sense of humor. They they they they they they're just spiritually dead.
I mean, they're just dead. Dead inside. You know? Just there's like nothing to them anymore. The the left has no sense of humor. The left has no idea how to laugh at things or poke fun at things. They have none of it. So when he says that I I wouldn't mind being a king, they take that literally. Of course, he doesn't mean that. Of course not. America does not have a king. If if America had a king, they wouldn't be able to protest no kings. Makes sense? Does that make I mean, is it me? Or does that make sense? That makes sense. So give just some background on this. So the the the the protests declaring that America has no king started way back in February on President's Day.
And then, they had they had a they had their moment back in June when, when the president held a military parade, which was really honoring the the United States army's, two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And and, of course, that falls on his birthday. So the left took that to be that, oh, the president's throwing himself a party.
[00:46:48] Unknown:
He's throwing a parade for himself like a king. He's a king. He wants to be a king. He's not
[00:46:53] Unknown:
that's the left.
[00:46:56] Unknown:
War runs. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
[00:47:03] Unknown:
Then of course, tens of thousands of people took to the street, the protesters in Washington, Los Angeles, Denver, Philadelphia, New York, and and other places too to protest what they thought was what they looked at as and and they they they they tried to portray as Donald Trump's coronation. Coronation day for the president of The United States, and as we translate him from just a mere president to the king of America. I mean, it it sounds ridiculous, but that's what they think. That's what they think, and that's what they were thinking. The, No Kings website said this, the world saw the power of the people. The president president Trump's birthday parade was drowned out by protests in every state across the globe. His attempt to turn June 14 into his coronation collapsed, and the story became the strength of a movement rising against authoritarian power grabs.
I mean, these people are just unhinged. They're absolutely unhinged. But just to show you what I mean about trolling, here here's so the, the White House now has a a Blue Sky account. So I don't know if you if you're familiar with Blue Sky. Blue Sky is the, alternative to to x now, which is just, you know, it's it's just an echo chamber for the left, so they can get on there and they can do all those and so they can get on there and they they can, you know, have have their safe space and talk about all, you know, all how how bad and evil the right is and Donald Trump and they and not and and not have to worry about getting challenged on their on what they think. So the White House now has a Blue Sky account, and, this is what they posted today on Blue Sky.
[00:49:11] Unknown:
My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over. In fact, our fight has only just begun. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. So with American pride swelling in our hearts
[00:49:31] Unknown:
and American courage
[00:49:33] Unknown:
stirring in our souls, I say these words to you today, we
[00:49:38] Unknown:
will make America great again.
[00:50:02] Unknown:
Again, the the trolling. I mean, that is to me, that's hysterical. That's funny that he did that. But of course, the left is freaking out about that. But that was just an example. Okay? So now, now this no kings thing, kinda what I've kinda intimated before was, you know, there are, this this no kings protest, especially the one here in New York that well, here in New York, because coming up in New York, you know, and and tomorrow, Saturday, it's actually, you know, it it's funded. It's well funded by a lot of NGOs, non governmental organizations, and, and and several several communist groups.
Communist groups. Democrats and communists or or communist Democrats are holding a no kings rally this weekend. Now the New York City no kings rally sponsored by several communist groups, Democratic Socialists of America, New York Working Families Party, CPUSA, and Freedom Socialist Party are all sponsoring this rally against president Donald j Trump. So, and just to show you what I'm talking about, here you go. There you go. You have, let's see. Where was it? Well, you have the Communist Workers Party right there. You also have the New York City Democratic Socialists in that second line, right next to 802, and then 1199SCIU, which, by the way, when when I worked in New York City, I was forced
[00:52:10] Unknown:
to be a part of that union. That's disgusting. So that's where your union dues are going, dudes. For everybody that's part of the of eleven ninety nine SEIU,
[00:52:16] Unknown:
that's where your money's going. That's where your union dues are going. Alright? Then of course, you have the New York workers Working Families Party, which is communist. So just look at that. Just look at all of those organizations that are funding this no kings rally. Communists, socialist. Look on the bottom there, the Freedom Socialist Party. Communist Party USA, right there at the bottom, CPUSA. The Workers' Circle. All of these organizations. All of these organizations. All of these NGOs.
[00:53:16] Unknown:
The
[00:53:17] Unknown:
communists, the democratic socialist, they're trying to tear this country apart, and they're trying to do it from within. And then you have Chuck Schumer, a man who never shies away from a camera. Instead of trying to work to end this, end the the Schumer shutdown, aptly named after him because he's the one right you know, leading all this, instead of trying to end that and work on that and resolve that, what is he doing? He's out promoting this communist backed rally.
[00:54:06] Unknown:
And here's Schumer in his words. This weekend's no kings rallies will be an affirmation about what America is all about. We are democracy in America. We have no kings despite the fact that Trump has even said he wants to become one.
[00:54:22] Unknown:
Yeah. No. We're not a democracy in America. We are a republic.
[00:54:28] Unknown:
Despite the fact that Trump has even said he wants to become one.
[00:54:33] Unknown:
Donald Trump never said he wanted to become a king seriously. He was trolling. It was a joke. It was a joke. And these people take it literally, which which makes it even funnier
[00:54:44] Unknown:
that they're act they're reacting this way to it. And he's acting in ways that are a threat to our democracy. And I say to my fellow citizens, do not let Donald Trump or Republicans intimidate you into silence. That's what they wanna do. They're afraid of the truth. Republicans are going apoplectic.
[00:55:05] Unknown:
Oh, no. They're not. They're really not. They're really not. The ones that are going apoplectic and that are denying truth is the man standing right in front of you and the party that he represents. That that that's who's going apoplectic. That is who is against free speech. That is I mean, again, once again, the left always accuses the right of doing the things that they do.
[00:55:31] Unknown:
Because Americans are exercising their right to free speech. I say to Americans, show the world how much we love this country, how much we love our values, how much we love our democracy and wanna preserve it. And don't be afraid. Trump and the Republicans want you to be afraid. They don't like free speech when it's free speech they don't wanna hear.
[00:55:54] Unknown:
They but they so he's saying that Republicans don't like free speech unless it's speech that they wanna hear, but yet the left notoriously shuts down any opposing viewpoint. The tolerant left does not like when you have an opposing view or a view that does not align exactly with what they want. That's that that's what cancel culture all was all about. How dare you speak out against this subject? We're gonna we're gonna wreck your life. We're gonna demonetize your channels. We're gonna we're gonna get you kicked off of of, of all the social media platforms. Look what they did to Donald Trump. They did it to how many other peoples, Steve Crowder. How many other people how many people have they done that to?
Thousands. Thousands of people. Especially during COVID. Oh, god forbid. You you had an opposing view to what they were telling you. What did they they canceled you out. They got rid of you. They shut you down. They threw you out. They've you didn't exist to them. The left's version of free speech is what he just described to you. The left's version of free of free speech is you have to agree with me, and if you don't, we're gonna cancel you. We're gonna shut you up. What the left does and believes, they always accuse the right of.
[00:57:25] Unknown:
But we're not gonna let them intimidate us. For weeks, Republicans have tried to vilify these rallies. They call them the most ridiculous of terms, hate America rallies. These are love America rallies. Yeah. Love America rallies that are hosted by the Democratic socialist parties,
[00:57:45] Unknown:
the communist workers party, you know, all of these communist socialist NGOs and and political parties and affiliated groups, they don't love America. But this is the side this this is this is what the left has embraced. Schmucky Schumer is probably the most disingenuous liar that there ever was. I saw some place that he's he's thinking about retiring. Please. You know what, Chuck? If if if you wanna show how much you love America, resign. Step down. Let somebody else take over. That would work for me.
[00:58:37] Unknown:
They call them terrorist rallies. They are? That's just despicable. Do not let Donald Trump or Republicans intimidate you into silence. That is what they want. That is how dictators evolve when good people of all different.
[00:58:54] Unknown:
By the way, another really good example of how the left likes to silence people with opposing viewpoints was on full demonstration a month ago when Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated at a college campus with his wife and children in in the audience or backstage. That's the left. You don't see the right doing that. That's the left. You see, I said it the other day. The left always talks about we need to have dialogue, we need to talk, we need to talk things out, we need to, you know, have, conversations, keep talking, so on and so forth. Right?
But when you do, what do they do? They scream, they rant, they rave if you don't agree with them and and affirm the things that they wanna talk about, or the things that they talk about, or the things they hold the, value to them. And then you have someone like Charlie Kirk who goes to the college campuses, challenges people to think critically about their political views and positions, and not just politics, but their religious views and their positions as well. And he gets killed for it by someone on the left. Unbelievable.
[01:00:27] Unknown:
Beliefs and backgrounds, stay silent. No king's day says we will not stay silent.
[01:00:40] Unknown:
I wish he would stay silent. He's just I also find it very interesting that, he's doing this obviously, he he obviously, this is being spoken in the senate chambers. So who's he talking? He he he's supposed to be addressing the senate or the American people. It seems like he's trying to address the American people. Senator Rick Scott called out minority leader Chuck Schumer for endorsing this disgusting anti American event. Scott warned that Schumer Scott warned Schumer that if he attends this event, he will endorse communism in America. Senator Scott senator Rick Scott said, the no kings protest in New York this weekend is sponsored by multiple communist groups, including the Communist Party of the USA. This is who senator Schumer is cowering and shutting down your federal government to appease.
It's disgusting, and if Chuck Schumer attends this protest, it will be his full endorsement of communism in America. He's right. He's absolutely right. But this is the direction that the left is going. The the left is embracing socialism. The left is embracing communism. They're trying to candy coat it by calling it democratic socialism. There is no such thing. There is no democracy in socialism. None. You know, folks, we're we're we're we're in a very, very dangerous period of time. And I know other generations have said it, but it's true.
Look at what is going on around you. There is more violence now than there ever really has been. Political violence. The left is openly showing you where their true core beliefs are, which very, very similar to socialism, socialist governments, communist governments. You know, they wanna get rid of God, they wanna get rid of your guns, they wanna get rid of your free speech, they wanna so they wanna, a cradle to the grave type of, of of of of care for the people. I would say care in quotes because they really don't care. These are the things that socialism or socialistic governments do.
They love to call the they love to call the folks on the right Nazis. Right? But what's Naziism? Nazi was national socialism. That's what the left is. That's it. That's what the left is. That's what they're embracing. Folks, this is a very dangerous time we're living in. We need to be very, very careful. We need to be watching very carefully what's going on around us. The left is unhinged. The left is the most violent it's ever been, and we need to be careful. We need to be watchful. And that doesn't mean to sit on our hands and not do anything. What it means is we need to get people who believe in this republic, who believe in the republican form of government.
Because look, the republican party is not the republican party back in the day. The Republican party has its issues. So when I say republican form of government, I mean, in in the small r sense of the word republic or republican form of government. Representatives that are elected by the people to represent the people. A government run by the rule of law, not the dictates of a of of a of a man. We have a republic. We don't say, you know, and to the democracy for which it stands. We say to the republic for which it stands. Our founding fathers were were geniuses in setting up this form of government and incredibly prescient when Ben Franklin said, we've given you a republic if you can keep it.
To keep a republic, you have to get involved. To keep a republic, you have to be on guard all the time. It's very easy to get complacent. We've been here for two hundred fifty years, which is the average life expectancy of the republic in history. And you see it coming apart, but it doesn't have to. It doesn't have to. You need to get involved. Get involved in your local government. Get involved in your school boards. Get involved in your community, and get involved in your districts. Get involved in your state government. Run for an office, because that's what the left is doing, Which is probably a good tie into the the next thing I wanted to talk about, which is what's going on here in New York City.
Let's, let's switch over to that one. Let me just do this. I'll clip out some of these things, make some room here. Okay. Alrighty. Alright. So what's going on in New York? Alright. So you have, you have a three way mayoral race. You have, Andrew Cuomo, the former disgraced, governor of New York, who is running for mayor of New York City now. Curtis Sliwa, who is, he's the founder of the Guardian Angels, which is a volunteer organization that, they they would patrol subways and neighborhoods and, you know, kinda be a set of eyes and ears for law enforcement. They didn't have any particular powers of law enforcement of powers or anything like that, but they were, like, watch groups, and they would they would, you know, help preserve the piece, at a time when New York City really needed it back in the in the late seventies, early eighties before Giuliani came on and turned the whole city around, only to have it wrecked again by Mike Bloomberg and and Big Bird with I forgot his name, de Blasio, and and and, and now this, the current mayor, mayor Adams, which I'm surprised because, you know, I I know he's a lefty, but, you know, mayor Adams was you know, he he was a high ranking police officer in in the NYPD.
You know, he was up there, like, talking one police plaza level. He was up there. So surprising that that he let things go the way they did, but then again, he put politics above policy. So, and then you have, Zoran Mamdani. Alright. Now now Andrew Cuomo ran as a Democrat, but he got beaten by Mamdani in the primaries, which is horrifying if you really think about it. I mean, neither one of the candidates are great. I would I mean, I I could never, you know, even if even if Cuomo was the only person running, I would not even go into the into the election, and and to a voting station and and vote him in. I never. I would never do it. Because he, because he he's he's a fake tough guy, is what he is.
Alright? He hides behind his Italian. I mean, look, I he's a paisano. I I I get it. You know? You shouldn't talk about you. No. You do because he's a freaking moron. You have Curtis Liwa, who was a Republican candidate, which I I could have told you from the start it was gonna be a tough fight for him because I remember when this election cycle started and, Curtis Liwa, announced he was running, the Republican Party of the state of New York sent out a message over over, social media telling Republicans in New York to get out. Could you imagine that? Imagine your state Republican party telling you to get out of your state.
There's no options for you anymore. Get out. Get out. That but that's what the Republican Party of New York did. So I don't know how much effort they actually put in behind, you know, helping a Curtis Lee work, to, to to get to where he is or or at least get elected. And I don't think he ever had a chance, to be quite honest with you. I I really don't. And, you know, I I I don't know Curtis Lee personally, but I I've seen the work that he does, and I and I and I I've seen his career. After the Guardian Angels and and and conjunction with the Guardian Angels and his radio shows and and all the advocacy that he did and does and, you know, he's a good man. You know, he's smart guy. He knows his he he knows what he's doing, but he had no chance.
He and he still has really no chance, unless something big happens. I think he's pulling it like 17% or something like that. What's scary is mom Donnie is over 40%. Now I just now New York, I don't understand this. Again, I'm a New Yorker. I worked for New York City. What you're seeing is the results of open borders. That's what you're see. You're seeing this is the result of open borders. This is, of unfettered immigration. This is what you're seeing. Because here you have a Muslim. It's funny how quickly people forget nine eleven.
But here you have a Muslim, and here you have someone who is who claims to be a Muslim democratic socialist. Again, like I said at the beginning of the show, I don't know how that all meshes together and how that all comes to, you know, into one into a into a a a political stance. I I don't get it because I don't think either one of them go together. But this debate took place, and I'm gonna show you some clips from it. We'll we'll we'll we'll break that down as we go through. There were there was a couple of things, and and the other the other debate that took place was the, the Virginia, AG, debate.
And we're gonna cut we're gonna get to that here in a minute. But, here in New York, it's, you have the again, the Democratic socialist, Zoran Mamdani, New York assemblyman, who has a comfortable polling lead throughout the general campaign, who has had a cult like, a comfortable polling lead throughout the general campaign season faced off against the disgraced former New York governor Andrew Cuomo and the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who was the founder and CEO of the Guardian Angels nonprofit. The city's current mayor, Eric Adams, dropped out of the race at the September.
Though there was no clear winner in the debate, it was, of course, quite lively at times with Cuomo coming out swinging against Mamdani on the issues of on the issue of the Israel Hamas war, Mamdani's refusal condemned the pro Hamas, globalized AM Fattata chant you frequently hear at these con at these protests. And and, of course, he's a protest that Mamdani has defended and, you know, sometimes even attended. And then, of course, you know, in response, Mamdani falsely accused Israel of genocide, took a swipe at Cuomo for joining Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's defense team in the international criminal court case. So with that said, let's, let's get to some of the, some of the clips here. So here is, here is Andrew Cuomo, talking about which one is this?
[01:14:14] Unknown:
Let's play it. The assemblyman will not denounce Hamas. The assemblyman will not denounce Hassan Piker, who said America deserved nine eleven. The assemblyman just said in his response, well, it depends on, occupation. That is code, meaning that the Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish state, which he has never acknowledged. That is from the river to the sea. That's why he won't denounce globalize the intifada,
[01:14:44] Unknown:
which means kill all Jews. Let's give mister Mamdani a chance to respond to that. I wanna be very clear. The occupation.
[01:14:51] Unknown:
Okay. So before I before we play his response, unfortunately, I have to I have to agree with Andrew Cuomo on this. He's right. He's right. You gotta remember also that that, that in in Islam, they they're they have a they have this thing called Taqiyah, which means that, they're allowed to lie to you if if you are a quote unquote infidel. You know, you're not a a a Muslim. They can they're allowed, they're permitted under their religion to lie to you to to gain position over you, or to win you over. Remember that.
[01:15:36] Unknown:
I wanna be very clear. The occupation is a reference to international law and the violation of it, which mister Cuomo has no regard for since he signed up to be Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team during the course of this genocide. And I find the comments that Hassan made on 09/11 to be objectionable and reprehensible. And I also think that part of the reason why Democrats are in the situation that we are in of being a permanent minority in this country is we are looking only to speak to journalists and streamers and Americans with whom we agree of every single thing that they say. We need to take the case to every person, and I'm happy to do that, which is why I was on Fox News yesterday talking about how I wish it was more like NASCAR so we could see all the billionaires who are sponsoring you right on your suit jacket.
[01:16:21] Unknown:
Alright. And then, the subject turned to the matter of experience. And, the former governor, Andrew Cuomo, was very quick to point out and, to contrast his experience with in governing and leadership with, Mamdani's lack of experience, with his own time in politics. Let's, take a look at that.
[01:16:55] Unknown:
In other words, what the assemblyman said is he has no experience. And this is not a job for someone who has no management experience to run 300,000 people, no financial experience to run $115,000,000,000 budget. He literally has never had a job. On his resume, it says he interned for his mother. This is not a job for a first timer. Any day, you could have a hurricane, you have, god forbid, a nine eleven, a health pandemic.
[01:17:23] Unknown:
If you don't know what you're doing, people don't know. Mister Mamdani, do you wanna respond? And and if we have a health pandemic, then why would New Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to their death in nursing homes? That's the kind of experience that's on offer here today. What I don't have an experience, I make up for in integrity. And what you don't have an integrity, you could never make up for in experience. Yes. May I?
[01:17:42] Unknown:
First, what you said was totally false, as you know. Which part was false? During COVID, everyone did whatever they could in this state. And there have been numerous investigations, where they've gone through it, and they said we followed federal guidance, but, yes, people died during COVID. And my heart breaks for everyone that broke in that died in this state
[01:18:04] Unknown:
and across this nation. But but just to be clear, mister, just to fact check that there is a criminal investigation reportedly underway at the DOJ
[01:18:13] Unknown:
about your testimony to congress about your nursing home record. Yeah. But that was that is a, political issue with the congress. They made a referral, which has gone absolutely nowhere.
[01:18:25] Unknown:
So, some some good points on on both side of that. But but but if you but where Cuomo is correct is that you need to have some kind of experience in leadership in this. I can't I can't argue with him. I I I can't. Again, I'm not supporting and I'm not endorsing Andrew Cuomo at all. But, he's not right. He's not wrong. And and and yes, there is still pending, investigations or investigations going into his response to COVID, which was horrendous. Absolutely horrendous. And, you know, it's, it it's as someone who well, I don't I don't know how to phrase. I'm not I'm not gonna do it that way. Alright. Let's let's move on.
Alright. So, here is so like like we heard, he said that in response to his, inexperience, try to make the race about integrity something which the pro Hamas state lawmaker is also in short supply of. Let's see. Mamdani also jabbed Cuomo over the 2020 nursing home scandal, which we just heard. They denied that he would defund the police if ever elected mayors. Let's take a look at that.
[01:19:52] Unknown:
Much as Andrew Cuomo wants to bring up tweets from 2020, which is around the same time that he was sending seniors to their death in nursing homes. I am looking to work with police officers, not to defund the NYPD, looking to ensure that officers can actually do one job when they're signing up to join that department. Not the many jobs or ask them to say specifically referred to comments you made. We will come back to that, but we're up to date.
[01:20:16] Unknown:
Rough. Candidates and racists. We're moving on. That's what you said. Your words. Your words. We're moving on.
[01:20:27] Unknown:
So according to this, where was it? Yeah. But you see, defunding the police, that that's something that the left has been talking about for quite some time. And, I'm telling you underneath under this administration, under a Mamdani administration, that's exactly what you're gonna see. You're going to see the NYPD depleted, because what's gonna end up happening as well is, you know, New York cops, they're gonna walk away from the job. They're gonna walk away from the job. There are quite a few of them who are close to retirement. When I left New York, there was, it was with, like, 40,000 New York City cops.
40,000, if if I'm remembering correct. And that's, that's not including, like, non uniforms personnel. I'm just about uniforms for about 40,000. You're gonna see a a you you'll you will see a lot of people leaving the police. You will. And then what'll happen? They'll hire, more people like Mamdani, Democratic socialists, communist that would not flinch at just following the orders. Just just to think about. Just just a thought. Just a thought. Alright. Then, then then they kinda sparred over Israel, Gaza, Hamas,
[01:22:22] Unknown:
and let's take a look at that. These answer about your own relationship with the Muslim community. You did not visit mosques for many years. More recently, you have been. Yeah. I don't think I'm I I don't think in any way, the assemblyman is representative of the Muslim community, which is a vital community in New York City, and, I am very fond of and I've been working with. I think he's playing his own politics. Many of his positions don't even follow,
[01:22:49] Unknown:
the Muslim faith, so I see them as two totally separate things. Mister Mamdani Yeah. Wanna respond? You know, it took Andrew Cuomo being beaten by a Muslim candidate in the Democratic primary for him to set foot in a mosque. He had more than ten years, and he couldn't name a single mosque at the last debate we had that he visited. And what Muslims want in this city is what every community wants and deserves. They want equality, and they want respect. And it took me to get you to even see those Muslims as part of this city, and that frankly is something that is shameful and is why so many New Yorkers have lost faith in this politics. Yeah. Except, you know, that's all I've worked with the Muslim community for many, many years. A single mosque you went to when you were the governor. But Can you name a single mosque you went to in ten years? You were ever
[01:23:34] Unknown:
here. They were Before I was here? Before you were even in state government. I worked with Okay. Muslim community. Yeah. Imams presided over state of the States. We worked in religious working groups, Taliban, anti Semitic groups, etcetera. Alright, gentlemen.
[01:23:49] Unknown:
Mister Sleeway, Rosalina has a specific question for you, but I'll give you a second here. This is what disturbs me about you.
[01:23:56] Unknown:
You will be celebrating your birthday this weekend. In 1991, I was in the streets of Crown Heights with the guardian angels for thirty days and thirty nights when the first democratic socialist mayor of New York City, that's right, David Dinkins, was a proud member of the democratic socialist of America, abandoned the Jews for three days. They were left to their own means, and we protected them for thirty days and thirty nights. Then your favorite mayor, Bill de Blasio, in 2019 abandoned the Jews again when they were being attacked in Williamsburg and Pearl Park and Crown Heights. And I had to bring the guardian angels in for thirty days, thirty nights. Mister Smith. Jews don't trust that you are gonna be there for them when they are victims of anti Semitic attacks. Okay. Brief
[01:24:43] Unknown:
Excellent points. Excellent points. Curtis finally got something to say or at least some attention, but he's right. During the Crown Heights riots, I remember that. I was in New York at the time. I lived I lived there. I was, like, 20, 21, something like that. I remember those riots. I remember exactly what took place, and I remember the guardian angels there. And there was no support from the Democratic socialist mayor of New York City, David Dinkins. None. And then again, when de Blasio, none. And to be quite honest with you, I I wouldn't trust him either. And you heard him talking about visiting mosques. Well, mister Mamdani, have you visited any churches, any synagogues?
I don't recall seeing that anywhere. And he keeps throwing out the he's a Muslim. He's a Muslim. He's a Muslim. Folks in New York, you may be paying attention to this. And then the issue of the National Guard in New York City comes up. And this is where where I was saying that there was, you know, Andrew Cuomo is this, you know, is this foe tough guy. You know? And, in this particular in this clip here, they were talking about, should Donald Trump send the National Guard into New York City, you know, how would how would that, play out? And, Andrew Cuomo goes on to say about how when he, during COVID, you know, he told Donald Trump not to do something, and Donald Trump backed down and and didn't do it. And, I'm gonna let him say it for himself. I'll tell it a lot better than I will.
But then, Curtis Lee, jumps on in there and and and and corrects him, and rightly so. Rightly so. Let's let's take a look.
[01:27:10] Unknown:
Why? Because I said to him, don't you dare. We don't need it. And he backed down, and he will again. So that proves a good relationship. Wait. Wait a second. The president is gonna back down to you, Andrew Cuomo. I know you you think you're the toughest guy alive,
[01:27:25] Unknown:
but let me tell you something. You lost your own primary. Right? You were rejected by your Democrats. Why do you have a different goal? With our understanding that what the term no is. You're not gonna stand up to Donald Trump. And I agree with Curtis. You're not gonna stand up to Donald Trump. Okay. And he can't stand up to Donald Trump who knocked him right on his toes. We have no We have no negotiate with him. You don't fight with him because only the people of New York City will lose. We do have a
[01:27:54] Unknown:
Great point, Curtis. Great point. He's not gonna back down. Donald Trump doesn't gonna back down, and he made a very good point. You don't fight with him, you negotiate with him. That's that's how it works, and he and he again, he's right that should there be some kind of a showdown between the administration, the the the mayor of New York City and the president of The United States right now, the only ones that are gonna suffer in it are gonna be the New York City citizens. That's it. The citizens of the City of New York. That's it. Now, of course, now there there was a there was a very odd moment in this whole thing. The question was, and I and I kinda felt bad here to be honest with you, for, for for for this because, you know, it it just I I get it. He he he I don't I don't think he I think he misunderstood the question or he misheard the question.
Not making an excuse for for Curtis Sliwa in this, but I I don't know if but it was it did make a funny moment here. So let's let's take a look at that.
[01:29:06] Unknown:
Who's the best modern day US president? Mister Cuomo?
[01:29:12] Unknown:
Modern day? Well, I'm partial. I was Bill Clinton's housing and urban development secretary. We built affordable housing all across The United States. To Bill Clinton? Empowerment zones. I would say Bill Clinton. Okay. Mister Mamdani?
[01:29:28] Unknown:
I would say
[01:29:30] Unknown:
FDR. A socialist. Mister Sliwa. Modern day? Modern. Man I'd say FDR also.
[01:29:37] Unknown:
If that's modern day. Mister Sliwa. A man that ended up being loved by And I like how I how Cuomo, you know, picked up on modern day because, you know, I don't think well, I don't I don't know. I don't I don't think that FDR qualifies a modern day president. I think a modern day president would be sometime within our generation, our lifetimes. You know? So some someone from the, you know, maybe the seventies on up would be more appropriate. But it figures that a socialist would pick a socialist.
[01:30:12] Unknown:
Democrats and Republicans alike, the greatest governor we've ever had in my lifetime, George Pataki. Three terms, no chaos, no corruption. Oh, I was asking. Actually beat President. The better president.
[01:30:24] Unknown:
President. President. President. President. President.
[01:30:28] Unknown:
Who's the Yeah. Who you thought? The best moderator? President in our lifetime? Yeah. Or I would say the best president in our lifetime that I've experienced, I would go back to Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan. Alright. I you see,
[01:30:45] Unknown:
I love Ronald Reagan. I Ronald Reagan was the first president that I was ever able to vote for. Love him. I think he did a great job, but I would have to say I think that I don't know. Donald Trump's on track for that. I don't know. I don't know.
[01:31:07] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:31:09] Unknown:
Okay. He agrees. Okay. Alright. Well, but the I think the the the most interesting thing that took place in in this whole debate that took place, here in New York was the question was asked. The the question how do I how am I gonna phrase it? The question was asked, who would endorse the current governor who is gonna be running for reelection in New York, Kathy Hochul, who I think happens to be probably the worst president. The the the worst governor in the in the entire country. And, I think it was hilarious to be quite honest with you that this that that it it came up this way, because when you when I show you the clip, you'll you'll you'll see what I'm talking about. Not one of the candidates said that they would endorse Kathy Hochul, including Maum Dani including Maum Dani, who sought after and actually got governor Hochul's endorsement back in September.
[01:32:23] Unknown:
Check it out. Show of hands. Who supports Kathy Hochul for reelection?
[01:32:28] Unknown:
It's a decision that should be made after this general election. So no decision. Mister Cuomo, you hand picked her as your lieutenant governor. No no thought. You have to know, who's running. Yeah. Okay. So And I would add that I do think that Kathy Hochul, our governor, has been doing a good job in not only serving for reelection? Not only delivering for New Yorkers, but also standing up to Donald Trump. Just what do you support for reelection? Endorse her. I'm focusing on November. Why don't you endorse her? I appreciate her support and I appreciate her work. But you don't endorse her.
[01:32:58] Unknown:
Now, I didn't I didn't pull it up, but, on x, councilwoman Vicky Palladino, who is extremely vocal. She's a she's a hoot, man. She really is. I I remember her when I was up in New York. She is a hoot. She wrote this on x. She wrote, Zoran just stabbed Hochul in the back right there on stage. Lesson for Democrats, the DSA, the Democratic Socialist of America, is is coming for you. Your fealty will never be reciprocated, and they hate you just as much as they hate Republicans. Absolutely, 100% spot on. New York, I love New York. My hometown man, I hate to say it, but thoughts and prayers, man.
Thoughts and prayers. No matter because like I said, Sliwa, I I I would love to see him win, but he's too far out. I don't think it's gonna happen. And if New York gets either Cuomo or mom Donnie, which is looking more like he's they're gonna get mom Donnie. Get out now. Get out. Get out. Thoughts and prayers, New York. Thoughts and prayers. Now the other thing too is, you know, a lot of people say you get, you know, you're getting what you deserve. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I agree with that. I do. You know, you keep voting for these types of people, you know, the the quote unquote greatest city in the world is going to collapse.
It's gonna collapse. Thoughts and prayers, New York. Thoughts and prayers. Alright. Moving on here to let's go to Virginia really quick. So I'm gonna I'm gonna do some, screen shares on this one because I I didn't have space here to, put the clips in. So, alright. So Jay Jones, candidate for attorney general in the great state of Virginia. A far left. I don't I I don't know if he's a I don't know if he's a if he's a socialist or not. I I I'm I'm reading my notes here. I I don't see where where I put it there. But, so you so you have, Jay Jones, who is a a far left Democrat. He's running for the attorney general's position, the top law enforcement in the state of Virginia, and, he famously now, some tweets were put out, some text messages screenshots of text messages, actually, put out where he was talking about, literally putting bullets in the head of Republicans that he disagreed with, talking about how the only way that that, people will change their political views is through violence and through inflicting pain on them.
He also had stated that, that he hoped that, was it Gibson? I think was the let me see. Where he said that he hoped that the, that that that that the children of this Republican, would die in their arms. It it's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. And let's go to alright. Let me screen share this. Alright. So this is this is, Jay Jones at the his opening statements at the, the debate for, attorney general. This is what he had to say.
[01:37:29] Unknown:
And you're also gonna hear from my opponent about text messages that I sent that I deeply, deeply regret. Let me be very clear. I am ashamed. I am embarrassed, and I'm sorry. I am sorry to speaker Gilbert. I'm sorry to his family. I'm sorry to my family, and I'm sorry to every single Virginian. I cannot take back what I said, but you have my word that I will always be accountable for my mistakes. And you also have my word that I will spend every waking moment fighting for you.
[01:38:11] Unknown:
So you heard him there. Now to be honest with you, if he if he were truly sorry, he would drop out of the race. He would. That that's that's what I would do if I was in that situation. I would drop out of the race. He's already under fire for, for past politically violent rhetoric, which he expressed a desire to kill his GOP rival, devastating, faced devastating scrutiny when Miyares opened the debate by reminding Virginians of Jones 116 mile per hour joyride down Interstate 64. Earlier this month's earlier this month, Miyares, who's the incumbent, wrote on x, Jay Jones was caught recklessly driving a 116 miles per hour on I 64, then he tried to claim campaign work for his own PAC, counted as community service to avoid jail. Jay Jones is too soft on crime, including his own. And, let's share this.
[01:39:10] Unknown:
On a dangerous stretch of I 64, Jay Jones pushed the needle to a 116 miles an hour. That puts regular Virginians in jail, but Jay Jones is a politician. He got off. Jay Jones' punishment for endangering lives, community service, and he served himself. Jay Jones counted work for his political committee to avoid jail.
[01:39:33] Unknown:
Jay Jones is is too soft on crime like his own. I'm Jason Miyares, candidate for attorney general, and I sponsored this ad.
[01:39:43] Unknown:
So that ad has been floating all over Virginia. All over Virginia. During the debate, as you like you heard in the in the clip there, Miyar has accused Jones of manipulating the, legal system to avoid jail time and then using his own political action committee to satisfy court order community service. Can you you imagine that? The the the stones I'm trying to I'm trying to control my language. Remember? The stones on this guy to use his own political action committee to say that he was volunteering his time for a community service at his own pack.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Here's a here's a clip of, Jason Miyares, basically blasting Jay Jones over the special treatment he got for his reckless driving charge. Let's, take let's take a look at that.
[01:40:48] Unknown:
Based on the incident involving mister Jones, how would you define the line between protected, albeit inappropriate, political speech and a communication that is legally prohibited? And you can address mister Jones's position as well. You have ninety seconds. The reality is that Jay Jones was in court for going a 116 miles an hour on Interstate 64.
[01:41:06] Unknown:
Four people were in court that day were going roughly the same speed. Three of those four people got suspended or active jail sentence. But Jay Jones is a politician and he asked the court not to give him any of that, to give him community service. And instead we now know he misled the court. That community service, it wasn't done for a charity. It was done for his own political action committee that he controlled. And the reality Jay is that your text messages that advocated for violence against innocent children, Jay, if you were to apply to be a line prosecutor and not just my office, any attorney general office in the country, you would not pass a background check. And right now you may say that you are sorry. But look back at what happened. You had three years to say you're sorry, Jay, and you didn't.
Three years to actually recognize what you did was horrific. You chose to stay silent. Keri Kornier called you out then. You doubled down. It was after she called you out for these text messages that that is when you said you advocated for violence against children. And when this became public, we now know your first statement wasn't saying I'm sorry. The words I'm sorry wasn't even in your statement. It was to say we all send text messages we regret, you attacked the president, and you attacked me. It wasn't until twelve hours after you were first notified that you then decided to say I'm sorry. Because at the end of the day, Jay, you're a politician, not a prosecutor, and you certainly can't be the top prosecutor in the state of
[01:42:33] Unknown:
Well, that's really laying it into him. And I like the I like the the I like his mannerisms at the podium. I don't know. Did you notice that? Like, he's very calm, very very collected, very comfortable. And he's but he's a thousand percent right. A thousand percent right. His first statement didn't even start with an apology. The words I'm sorry are not even in it anywhere. He's absolutely right. Now, Virginia has a choice. Virginia has a choice to make here. What are they gonna do with it? What are they gonna do? Now, of course, since the the the screenshot came out and, of of of of these horrific and reprehensible comments that, Jay Jones made, his his polling has decreased to the free fall.
And, Miara's looks like he's going to be able to, to to to to to, gain reelection as the attorney general for Virginia. So but that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let it happen. You gotta get out there and vote. Virginia, if you're listening, get out there and vote. Vote for Miyares. You don't wanna put this type of person who gained the judicial system, served his community services, his own political action committee, is an openly violent and embraces openly violent rhetoric. Just think about what he said about someone on the opposite side of the aisle, his family, his children, and think to yourself, do you want this to be the top cop in your state?
Think about that. Think about that when you go to the polls. Don't put someone like this in charge of law enforcement in your state. You will regret it. Alright. Let's see what else we got here. So earlier today, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, met with president Donald Trump in Washington, as, that would be today. He met with him. And, the the topic of conversation is to be whether or not to arm Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles, that would be basically able to reach into, you know, fairly deep into into Russia. The meeting comes a day after Trump had great progress and was making, what said that great progress was made during a call with Russian president Vladimir Putin with the peregrine to a face to face talk in Hungary, which is great. Great news. Look. Donald Trump has done everything he could to bring peace.
Alright? He is, base he's effectively stopped eight conflicts around the world since he came to office. I think he'll be able to pull this one off. I wanna know what you think, though. Let me know. Drop a comment. Send me a message. Let me know what you think. Do you think he'll be able to do this? I think he will. I think we're getting close to it. Zelensky arrived in The US his third visit since January. He said Moscow was rushing to resume dialogue as soon as it heard about Tomahawks. Zelensky had called the on The US to provide the Ukraine with advanced missiles, which have a range of, 1,500 miles. Asked early this week if Trump was considering giving Ukraine Tomahawks, he said, we'll see. I may.
But when asked about the same prospect following the call with Putin, Trump said, well, we can't deplete The US stockpile of Tomahawks, adding we need them too, so I don't know what we can do about that. And then, the president went to True Social, his platform, and he shared this information. The meeting with president Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was very interesting and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to president Putin, that it's time to stop the killing and make a deal. Enough blood has been shed with property lines being defined by war and guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim victory. Let history decide no more shooting, no more death, No more vast and uns unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a war that would never have started if I were president.
Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week. No more. Go home to your families in peace. You know, say what you will. I I truly believe that that's Donald Trump's heart. He just wants peace. And he and I agree with him. There's no reason for this conflict anymore. There had never was really a reason for it. The only reason why it started is because of weakness in the previous administration. It's also something we shouldn't be involved in. We really shouldn't. I I I am I, you know, I the more I think about these things, the more I'm I'm I'm inclined to to lean towards, you know, non intervention in in in this type of stuff. I mean, yeah. Peace and commerce with all, entangling alliances with none. So that's not completely non that's not that's not isolationist, but it's and it's not it's not but but it's non interventionist.
Okay? So and there's a difference between the two. This is a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. They need to figure it out. We shouldn't be involved in this. Financially, militarily, we should not be involved in this. I am hoping and I'm praying that there will be a settlement here, that there will be peace. No one wants to see conflict like this. No one wants to see bloodshed. No one wants to see this. It has to come to an end. And I think we're close to it. I do believe that Donald Trump is gonna get it done. I'm hoping he gets it done.
And I hope that this conversation he's gonna be having with, with Putin coming up in, in Budapest will, will play out. New American posts. There's Trump and Putin patch things up, plan Budapest meeting. US president Donald Trump US president Donald Trump. There we go. Trump and Putin passed things up, planned a Budapest meeting. US president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin be appear to be back on good terms, at least for now. Trump announced Thursday afternoon that he had a very productive call with Russian head of state who congratulated him on the great accomplishment of peace in The Middle East. The Russian leader also passed on niceties to the first lady for involvement with children. Two leaders discussed potential business between The US and Russia After the war with Ukraine is over, according to Trump's version of the call, the Russians confirmed the call, which they announced as it was happening. Before hanging up, they agreed to a meeting of high level advisers next week to be followed up by an in person meeting in Budapest, Hungary, where they'll discuss ending the inglorious war between Russia and Ukraine. The president ended his Truth Social announcement on a high note. He said, I believe that progress was made with today's conversation.
So that's good news. It is. Michael Flynn, General Flynn posted this. He said, peace in our time by a POTUS who knows this is what we voted for. Thank you, Donald Trump. Wonder if I can pull that. Here we go. I have just concluded my telephone conversation with president Vladimir Putin of Russia. It was very productive. One, president Putin gradually made The United States on a great accomplishment of peace and not the least. Something that he said there we go. Something that he said he had, has been dreamed up for centuries. I actually believe that the success in The Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the war with Russia and Ukraine. President Putin thanked the first lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative and said that this will that this will continue.
We also spent a great deal of time talking about trade between Russia and The United States. When the war with Ukraine is over, at the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there would be a meeting at our heart at of our high level advisers next week. The United States' initial meetings will be led by secretary of state Marco Rubio together with various and various other people to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will meet in an agreed upon location. Budapest hungry to see if we can bring this inglorious war between Russia, Ukraine to an end. President Zelensky and I will be meeting tomorrow, that would be today, in the Oval Office where we will discuss my conversation with president Putin and much more. I believe great progress was made with today's telephone conversation.
So the peace president, Donald Trump, on track for number nine. I think it's gonna happen. I do. Let me know what you think. Comment down below. Send me an email. Comment through the website if you like. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Alright. And, the last part of this that I want to tell you is, Donald Trump basically said that tomahawks are off the table. And, president Trump, this is just the news. President Donald Trump took The US supply of Tomahawk missiles, to Ukraine off the table ahead of a White House meeting with Ukrainian president Zelensky on Friday. That'll be today. Missiles are part of a lengthy news cycle regarding the prospects of their handover, which would have enabled or could have enabled Ukraine to escalate its strikes on infrastructure in the Russian territory. Public comments, Trump suggested the American supply was too limited to risk depleting Washington's own arsenal.
He said, quote, we need tomahawks for The US too. We have many, but we need well, we need them. We can't deplete. They are very vital. Zelensky's meeting moreover comes as Trump plans to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Hungary as a member of as, Vladimir Putin in Hungary, a member state of both NATO and the European Union. Hungarian president Viktor Orban enjoys strong relations with both Trump and Putin and has long irritated EU leaders over his willingness to pursue diplomacy out of step with Brussels. The refusal to to supply Ukraine with Tomahawks may come in the hopes of deescalating the conflict. At present, however, Russia is on the offensive and appears poised to capture the logistics hub the logistics hub cities of Gupansk and I I can't pronounce that.
Maybe somebody else can. Pokrovics. Sorry if I said it wrong. Sorry. Alright. Well, so Tomahawk's off the table. Trump plans to meet with Putin. Just met with Zelensky. How close do you think there is to a ceasefire? Let me know what you think. Alright. Drop a comment below. Email me at [email protected]. [email protected]. Or let's drop go to the website and use the contact form. But I'd like to know what you think about the whole thing. Alright? Okeydoke. Now, last thing I wanna bring up, and this actually I I saw right before right before the show, started, and I was like, oh, that looks good. I wanna show that. I wanna talk about it. Alright. So I I I don't know. You guys I I talk about this very infrequently on the show, and I I I would like to talk about it more, but I am I I am fascinated by disclosure. UFOs, UAPs, all that stuff. We did a couple of shows early on, with some people that were experts in the area or or at least informed enough in the area that we can have a conversation about it. So this stuff is great. It's always been, you know, something something I've been interested and fascinated with. I've I'm big fan of watching things like ancient aliens and whatnot. Oh, but you're a Christian. How could you believe that stuff? I didn't say that.
I look at the ancient alien stuff, and I look at all those things, and I and I can show you in the Bible where a lot of that stuff takes place. Okay? So, I don't necessarily agree that it's, you know, you know, misunderstood alien technology and things like that. I'm I'm I'm not, you know, the the jury's still out on that. Alright? Do I believe that there are interdimensional beings? Absolutely. Absolutely believe that. Well, how could you believe that if you're a Christian? Hello, demons, devils, they're interdimensional beings.
They can cross in and out. I don't think that's anti scriptural. I don't think that's heretical. I don't think that at all. So anything that pops up when it comes to like UFO stuff and and all that that that neat fun stuff, always catches my eye. And, I I I have a Telegram account, that people tell me I should do it do it for the show and all that stuff. I don't I don't use it that much. I don't use any social media really that much. So if you follow me on, like, x or fake book or, or or whatever else I'm on, getter truth social and all that stuff.
I I don't post a lot of stuff. I really don't, and I should. You know, it it it would be helpful, but I don't. I don't I don't have the time for it. That's the main thing. And, so I was I I I know I I was scrolling through one of the groups that I'm part of on Telegram, and I saw this report. And, this is this is from the WLT report, and, which interestingly they they follow me on on x. And I follow them too, but they follow me back, so it was interesting. But WLT report posted this on their Telegram channel, and, it was about let me see. It's time stamped eleven minutes prior to the show start. Alright. That's how close it was.
And, I thought that this was fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Now let let's let let's lay the groundwork here. Alright. So we're talking about disclosure. Now what's disclosure? That's when, that's when they finally start to acknowledge the fact that there is something out there in the universe that we don't understand, whether it's aliens or interdimensional beings or whatever it might be. There are things out there that we don't understand. And, what I found really interesting was is that this clip has some very high level people in the current administration talking about this.
Alright? In this clip that I'm gonna show you, you have secretary of state Marco Rubio telling you point blank that UFOs have been observed flying over our military and nuclear facilities, and he's we don't know what they are, and they're not ours. Alright? You also have to understand you have to understand something here that, this is called disclosure, but it's really more like a soft disclosure because someone like the secretary of state of The United States does not go on camera and say these things without getting clearance, without getting permission, without, instructions from people higher.
So the fact that he's actually saying this on camera in a in a video tells you that the government wants this information to be out there. Now just think about that. Alright. Now here is here is Senator Rubio. I'm sorry. Secretary of State Rubio, talking about this in this, this is a, like, a, like a trailer or a promotional for this, this thing coming out very shortly.
[01:59:30] Unknown:
Of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities,
[01:59:35] Unknown:
and it's not ours. These are otherworldly things that are performing maneuvers that have haven't been seen. I have seen with my own eyes nonhuman craft and nonhuman beings.
[01:59:53] Unknown:
This is so secret. There have been very few people in our entire government that have been allowed or provided access to it.
[02:00:01] Unknown:
Even presidents have been operating on a need to know basis, but that begins to ramp out of control.
[02:00:08] Unknown:
It's not acceptable to have secret parts of government that no one ever sees.
[02:00:13] Unknown:
People have been hurt protecting and hiding this information. Some people claim it would cost them their lives, and they spoke out about these things.
[02:00:21] Unknown:
You had information being locked away that could change the trajectory for species.
[02:00:41] Unknown:
This is the biggest discovery in human history.
[02:00:56] Unknown:
Wow. Wow. Right? Interesting. Very, very interesting. Now, again, like I said, you know, he's not gonna go on camera and and and say this stuff because it would it it without getting permission, without getting clearance, without getting instructions from somebody above him. Okay? So read into that whatever you want. But, the fact that he is is very interesting because what it does, it it it reveals a vulnerability. And I don't think they would reveal an a vulnerability like this unless there was a bigger plan and ulterior motive. Okay? The United States and any other country would not just come out and admit that there are things flying over our airspace that are not ours and that and and we don't know what they are, and we can't stop it.
They no government would ever admit it admit to that unless there was something much bigger going on. And just to remind you, here's Marco Rubio back in 2014 talking about this.
[02:02:10] Unknown:
You're in the foreign affairs committee and you're really involved in foreign affairs. There've been a lot of articles lately about UFOs. I know this is this question is a little out there. Is there any truth to any of this?
[02:02:22] Unknown:
Well, we don't know. All I've said is we have people that have very high clearances both today and in the past who did really important work for our government or continue to do important work for the government, who have come forward with some claims about The US having in the past recovered exotic materials, and then we reverse engineered those materials to make advances in our own defenses and technologies. That's the claim they make. Now I don't know if those claims are true or not. What I do know is that one of two things is happening here. Either we either they're telling the truth, and that is something that obviously would be, the the biggest story in human history, or we have people in really important positions of government who are crazy and who are out there making up stories and who are still in positions of importance. Either one is a big problem. So we've got to figure out which one of these two it is because, the second one in particular would be very troubling. But we don't all we know is claims that people have made. These are credible people that have done and continue to do important work for the country. And and and by law, we're we're required when they come forward as whistleblowers to take their claims seriously and and to investigate them. But, we just don't know. That's the answer.
[02:03:26] Unknown:
Alright. So what do you think? What do you think? I think this is incredibly fascinating, and there's more to this that we could cover, but we're out of time. So, we're gonna we're gonna start to wrap up at this point, but, we're gonna come back to this at some point, and we're gonna talk about this some more in some detail, because, you know, like I said, you know, I watched those ancient alien stuff, and I watched this alien, and I'm telling you I'm telling you, you can point to all this stuff in your Bible. You could find it. Your Bible is a spiritual supernatural book.
It is, and I've said that many, many times. Your Bible was not written by man. Man was used to write the Bible, but the author of the Bible was God himself. So this book is a supernatural book. It's super and you gotta read it. You gotta understand it. There's a lot of things in there that if you really look at it and read it and you apply it and you see it compare it to what's going on in the world today, holy cow, you're gonna be amazed. I've said it before in other shows. I'm not gonna dwell on it for too long right now because like I said, we're up against the clock. So your Bible is an incredible textbook.
It is a political textbook. It is a science textbook. It is a supernatural book. Read it, and you'll see these things, and you'll understand what is coming. Alright? So promise just trust me on that one and do it. Alright? Alright. I think that's gonna do it for tonight, and, we're gonna get ready to wrap up here.

Mhmm. Transmitting live from the asylum studios deep in the bowels of Southwest Texas, it's the Joe Rouge show. The show where we talk about anything and everything. Where nothing is sacred, nothing is watered down, and nothing is PC. Alrighty. Hey, folks. This is Joe Roos, and it is great to be with you on this Friday evening here live transmitting
[00:06:56] Unknown:
live once again from the asylum studios, from the pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass. And as always, we're gonna do the very best we can to bring you the best quality talk radio we can muster without all the bluster. Folks, welcome to the Joe Russo. And like I said, it is Friday. Looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend. I hope you guys are too. It's been one of those kind of crazy weeks. Let's close that so don't make any noise. Alright. Alrighty. How you guys doing? It's great to be with you guys again. It really is. You know, sometimes I think people think I say that at the beginning of the show just, you know, for kicks and giggles, but it's true. I I look forward to being here with you guys on these weeknights that we do our shows.
And, again, we don't have any guests lined up for tonight, which is fine. That's okay. We seem to make it through Wednesday night. Okay? And, must not have been too bad. I wasn't really thrilled with the show to be honest with you after after it was over with. I was messaging with my my producer, then she was commenting about the the video quality, so the lighting was good, you know, sound was good, all that stuff, and I was like, well that's great. I said at least the suck had good quality, you know. But, and that was my fault really because I I I, you know, I tried to put something together, and, I was very distracted while I was trying to put it all together. I'm I'm not gonna make any excuses for it. It's my fault.
But, wasn't too thrilled with it. So hopefully tonight's show is a little better. We got a few things we wanna talk about. I was actually able to get some clips and some things to, to share with you. Some little bit more prepared for the solo show, and that's, you know, so we'll get to that here momentarily. But we got a few things to talk about. A few things just some of the quick headlines that we're gonna cover here today. We got John Bolton, the former NSA, director was, indicted. We have, let's see what else we got. We got No Kings popping up, tomorrow all around the place, and we got some, moronic comments from, Schmucky Schumer.
And so we'll, we'll play some of that audio or video actually, and we'll, you know, we'll we'll play it through, then we'll we'll go through it again and talk about all the nonsense that he's spewing in there. It's it's quite interesting actually. And then I'm gonna cover some of the things about, some of the highlights from the, mayoral debate in New York. Now I, you know, I cover New York a lot because I'm initially from New York. So, you know, I have kind of an interest in what's going on there. I still have my family living there. So I'm I'm, you know, of course, I'm naturally concerned that my family's gonna be okay with what's going on there. And, you know, the the it's it's crazy that the city of New York is this close this close to electing a, a a a socialist communist Muslim, which to me doesn't seem to make any sense how all of that can come together.
But, they're this close to it, and it's it's it's a very very dangerous time in New York. So that's why I'm I'm paying more attention to it, than the local stuff here in Texas. Then we're gonna talk a little bit about, Jay Jones, the, Democrat in Virginia who, is, seeking the office of the attorney general of the state of Virginia, top law enforcement office in the in the state of Virginia, and some of the things that, he has said. We kinda highlighted some of it on the last show. And then, big news. You know, we had, Zelensky today over at the at the White House and, talking about, trying to make the case for Tomahawk missiles, in in his ongoing struggle against, Vladimir Putin and Russia, and see how that turned out.
And then, what else we got? Let's see. We're gonna talk a little bit about, the president's phone call with, Vladimir Putin today as well. And then, we're gonna look at a couple of other things, and then I saw an article that that came up right, before I I started the show, and I thought it was very, very interesting, and it has to do with, Secretary of State Rubio. And, it's not bad. Don't don't misunderstand. I'm not, you know, saying something horrible happened. No. It didn't, but something interesting. A very interesting, movie or video is gonna be coming out sometime next month.
And, and and I got a clip from it, like a highlight. Not not a highlight, a promo. Yeah. A promo. And, it's very interesting the subject matter of it, and especially given current things going on in the world and in the universe around us. It's it's very very very interesting. But, so we got a few things we're gonna talk about here tonight, so hopefully we'll be able to navigate our way through it. And, you know, and then we'll we'll we'll call it a wrap for the weekend. And then tomorrow, we have our show with our resident crypto psychic, Marissa Lee, at 12PM central time. So 12PM central time, is our, every two week show with, our crypto psychic, Marissa Lee. So we're looking forward to that as always. Always great information. She's pretty much been spot on with everything. And, so I've gotta be paying attention to this because, you know, the crypto markets right now are crazy. They're just up and down, up and down. I get these alerts, through one of the, the the the, the exchanges that I use, for my cryptos. And, it's like every every few minutes I'm getting, this is up, this is down, this is down again, this is up, this is down, you know, and it's it's, you know, it's nerve wracking to watch. And and I so what I actually did is I shut the, the notifications off so I don't keep on seeing these things because the more I see it, the more I panic. And I'm like, yeah, I gotta get out of here. You know, gotta get away from the cryptos.
But, just hold the line. Hold the line. Just hold, hold, hold. It's I think it's gonna get better. And, we'll we'll talk to Marissa about that tomorrow on tomorrow's show. So make sure you tune in for that live here on Rumble, YouTube, Facebook, x, Twitch, all of those platforms that we're on. And, also on the audio streams, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, you know, all those great ones. And plus also the modern podcast apps like Podcast Guru, fountain.fm, so on, where you can actually hear the show live, as it's being done. So, interesting interesting stuff down the road. Alright. Now tonight, as always, our show is brought to you by podhome.fm.
Podhome is my host platform for the audio. As you I've talked about them for quite some time now. They are a fantastic platform to be a part of. It's the most modern, easy to use podcast hosting platform that you're gonna come across anywhere in the market today. You can use Pod Home to publish your episodes, enhance your audio, automatically generate transcripts, titles, chapters, show notes, more and more and more. They keep on adding all of these great features, and they just recently updated, their AI platform, that helps with the generation of your show notes and show titles and so on and so forth. And it is great. And, I use it quite a bit. I'll be honest with you. I don't really have a lot of a lot of time to sit and write all the show notes that that go out.
So, a lot of that stuff is done through the AI, but, you know, I love the fact that it writes in the first person now instead of, third person. And also, I don't know if you've noticed, and maybe you haven't been paying attention to it, if you actually read the show notes, it actually lists resources now, which is fantastic. I mean, that that just saves so much time in adding that stuff afterwards. So, and you get all of that all of that plus you can podcast you you could do your podcast live like we're doing right now across the audio platforms, through podhome.fm.
And, excuse me, something just a little frog in the throat there. And also, Pod Home gives you a website. If you don't have one of your own yet, you or if you're if you have one and you wanna bring it over to Pod Home, you can do that too. And Pod Home will integrate that into their platform and, gives you a really, really well put together integrated, website. So, fully featured. It's fantastic. You try to I did try it out with my previous show, for a little while. We wanted to play with it for a bit and see how it worked and so on and so forth. And, it, it it's really nice. It works really well. So when you get that plus podcasting live, plus, like I said, the the the, you know, publishing the episodes, enhancing the audio, generating transcripts, and all of that stuff, you get all of that for an affordable monthly subscription of $15.99.
That's it. $15.99. If you sign up today, you get thirty days free. So you get thirty days of of free use of the entire platform, and then you get $15.99 a month thereafter. And I promise you, you're gonna love the platform. It's a great platform to be on. And, customer service is great. Folks there are great. It's a small operation. It's not so is that's the reason why they can charge as little as they do, because it is a small operation, you know, and they do they do that on purpose. They do it purposely. They give you a a good quality product for a great price.
So check them out. I've been on other platforms, and I've used several prior to coming to Pod Home. And, I'll be honest with you. Paid sometimes almost three times the amount that you're paying for, at Pod Home, and you got less. You got less features. And, so that that was a big motivating factor for me to swing over to Pod Home. So check them out. Podhome.fm. Podhome.fm. Also, while you're at it, if you would, check out our website, joroos.com. That's jorooswithaz.com. Sometimes in the show notes, it auto generates with an s, and you won't it won't take you to me. It'll take you to somebody else.

You come here, you hang out with me. It's a lot of fun. Right? I'm not perfect. I don't strive to be perfect. I can't be perfect. I'll never be perfect, not until I'm with the Lord Jesus Christ in heaven. That's the only time I'll be perfect ever, and that's only because of him and what he did for me. So, you know, so you guys are my friends. I love hanging out with you guys. So, so just let us know what you're thinking, and, always like to accommodate my friends. Also, if you would, while you're on the website, look for the, support button. Oh, also, if you don't wanna use the web form, that's fine. You can email me directly at [email protected].
[email protected]. Or right down below over there somewhere, you have a contact a comment section. You can just leave some comments down there, and, we'll be happy to get to those as well. And then as I was gonna say, also, if you would head over to our support page and check out our, our our opportunities for donating to the show. Alright? Now remember that this is a value for value show, and all that simply means is that if you are receiving anything of value from the show, we're asking that you would return that value to us in the form of a donation. And that donation could be your time, your talent, your treasure. We have a number of folks that that donate their time, their talent, and treasure, and it's it's it's fantastic. I appreciate that. Helps kinda keep everything going.
And, another thing that I I I don't really wanna talk about too much because it's it's it's just an annoyance, and, you know, the the the more that, you know, the more that these things pop up, the more that I think that, you know, there there needs to be some kind of major change in the way government operates, especially when it comes to taxes and property taxes. I mean, this is ridiculous. I mean, absolutely ridiculous. Alright. So, earlier this month, I received a letter that, there seems to be a shortage in the escrow for my home, my studio, all that stuff.
And, as a result of that, there's a shortfall, and, I need to come up with, just about 3,000. I think it's, like, 2,800 right now, because some folks had donated some which which we appreciate. So we need to come up with another $2,800. This way, we can, pay this shortage upfront. This way, that doesn't break it down over the course of the next year and drive my mortgage payment up a ridiculous amount, and, make it really difficult to keep things moving. So, if you have the ability to do so, if you have the means to do so, just there's a QR code up on the screen, if you would, for our go fund me. If you could just head over there, take a look at it. And if you are able to do it, and if you're moved enough to do it, please make a donation. We'd really appreciate that. Any donations that we get through the through the, support for the show is all being routed up that way as well. So, we really do appreciate that, and, it'll just make things a lot easier. Because what we're looking at, if in the event I mean, I'm starting to feel like Alex Jones here pitching.
If, not that I I I love Alex Jones. I I watch him all the time and, you know, we actually have an affiliate link with him, but which I haven't really talked about much and I should, but, we'll do that in a sec. The, the the reality of it is is that if we can't come up with the enough to take care of the shortfall, we're probably gonna have to severely, change the way we do things. And that might mean, you know, cutting back shows, going to prerecorded stuff, maybe only doing shows on weekends because I'm gonna probably end up having to go and, get another job, just to pay the taxes, believe it or not. Another job just to pay taxes, believe that crap.
This is the stuff, and and what really bugs me too is that and I'm gonna start on something. What really bugs me too is that we had an opportunity here in Texas to, to to eliminate property taxes, and the sitting speaker of the house would not even allow it to come to the floor. Do you believe that? A Republican speaker of the house refused to allow an issue that affects every Texan in the state and refused to even have discussion on it. And instead, what they did is they increased taxes, which is why there's a shortfall. So I've said it before, I'm gonna say it again, you know, property taxes are just absolutely immoral. You're already paying for you're already paying the mortgage.
You had to pay a mortgage tax. You gotta pay property tax. You gotta pay, all these taxes, especially here in Texas. I don't know where it is like anywhere else, but here in Texas, I gotta pay I don't know where it is like anywhere else, but here in Texas, I gotta pay a school district tax. I don't even have kids in school. I don't have kids in school, and I gotta pay a tax, which is a red which is ridiculous amount of money. I should I should have brought the paperwork. I could have read it off to you. A ridiculous amount of money on school tax, hospital district tax, property tax, state tax, city tax, local tax, all the tax tax tax tax tax. When you look at it, you pay more in taxes. I'm paying more in taxes than the principal payment on my mortgage. You believe that shit?
I'm sorry. I didn't I didn't mean to get into all that right there. So but it's frustrating, and it, and I'm sorry for that, and far sorry for the language. I'm really trying to do better with the language. I I really am. I am a Christian man. I I'm a saved man. I should not be using that kind of language. I do, and I I need to stop it. It's it's been bugging me of late, so, forgive me for that and and pray for me on it. Okay. Alright. But, but you understand what I'm saying about tact, it's ridiculous. It is absolute and we had it in our abilities here to change something, and they didn't do it. They didn't do it.
So everybody here that's listening or watching that's in the state of Texas, your taxes could have been gone if your elected official would have done their job in representing their community, their constituency. This is why I say over and over and over again, state politics are so incredibly important. You need to get more involved in state politics. If you are of the like mind, get involved in your local politics. People get to to to the state house here in in in Texas, and they feel like it's a it's a an audition for the, the for the higher seats in in the federal government. And it ought not be.
It ought not be. Hold these people accountable. Hold them accountable for their decisions and their vote. I I guarantee you, because I know I didn't hear about it from any of my, elected representatives in the in the Texas state house about the issue of, we're gonna raise your taxes or eliminate your taxes. I didn't hear a word. I found out by by x. That's how I found out. And a and a and a great patriot and a great Texan by the name of Brian Harrison is a representative for, I think, it's District 10. If I'm not mistaken, it might I think it's District 10.
All over x, all over social media talking about this. That's the only way I I found out about it. And your state representatives failed you. Because I know that I'm not the only one who's dealing with this. I know there's plenty of other people that are dealing with this too. A ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous amount. So again, if you if it if you if you have the means to do it, and if you if you're able to do it, if you can help me, I would appreciate it. I would really would. I'd because I don't wanna stop what we're doing here. I I really don't. I don't know. I don't wanna even cut it down. I I it it took us a year to get this. We we oh, by the way, we finally cracked 500, subscribers or or followers on on Rumble.
Very, very happy about that, you know? That was great. I mean, just a few months ago, we were only at, like, 75, and now we're at over 500, and that's great. That's great. You know, to be we put a lot of effort into this, a lot of work into this. It's not easy doing this, and working a full time job too. You know, let alone doing this, working a full time job, and another part time job, which might have to be, which will affect this. So if you can help out, we appreciate it. Scan the QR code right there. The GoFundMe is right there, or visit the support page on our website at joeroos.com, and, you could, you can help us out in those ways. Alright. I have, sucked up way too much time on that, and I apologize again for the language.
This stuff just fires me up, man. Just fires me up. Alrighty. Well, as I said earlier, so, this is good news. And the the and this is this is something that, you know, it's a long time coming. These investigations and these indictments that are starting to come down on these bad actors. You had James Comey, Leticia James, and now today, you you had John Bolton indicted, for mishandling of classified documents. What what I find very interesting is that, you know, all of the things that they attempted to prosecute president Trump on, and in these kangaroo courts that he set up were successful in some ways, seem to all be coming back on them. Isn't it interesting how they the left, and and I know John Bolton is considered a Republican, but I don't know.
It's just interesting how all the things that they've accused Donald Trump of, they're being caught doing it themselves. Remember the raid at Mar A Lago? And they said that the president was, mishandling classified information by having them in storage at Mar A Lago, which, by the way, he did the right way. He did he got he had the approval from the government on how to store this stuff. He had a separate secure room built in Mar A Lago for these things, and he did it the right way. You had Joe Biden. Oh, and by the way, as the president of The United States and as a former president of The United States, he was allowed to do that. He was allowed to have some of these materials in his possession. Joe Biden had classified materials strewn all over the place in a garage. It's car a a car garage in a house, his house, and other unsecure places.
And, if you remember correctly, they decided not to, not to prosecute or take any kind of action against this because of his age, and they said that, he would just come across like a like an like an like an old man with a bad memory just, you know, ridiculous. But but Joe Biden the documents that Joe Biden had, he had from when he was a senator and he was vice president. Neither one neither one under federal law is allowed to be in possession of classified documents. Only the president of The United States, the former president of The United States. And that's not just Donald Trump, that's every single former president of The United States.
So now you here have John Bolton, who is, indicted who was indicted Thursday, yesterday, over his alleged mishandling of classified documents. The Associated Press said this, former Trump administration national security adviser John Bolton was charged Thursday in a federal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information. A person familiar with the matter told the AP. The investigation is the Bolton who served for more than a year in president Donald Trump's first term first administration before being fired in 2019 burst into public view in August when the FBI searched his home in Maryland and his office in Washington for classified records he may have held on to from his years in government. Alright. Now the the concerns over Bolton's mishandling of classified information arose in 2020 when he published a memoir after having a falling out with the president. A copy of the memoir leaked to the New York Times. So this is this is how it all came to came to light. So a copy of the memoir leaked to the New York Times during the first impeachment fight in 2020. The White House told him not to publish it until the classified information allegedly in the book was removed, and he published it anyway.
Posted anyway. Though a Feb though a federal judge declined to order the that Bolton's book, of which thousands of copies had been printed and shipped before going to sale in 2020, be pulled, the judge also ruled that Bolton had likely compromised national security. Now, of course, the Biden administration let the matter drop, but president Trump revived it, revoking Bolton's security clearance earlier this year. Trump initially, bought sorry. The the Trump Trump initially brought the hawkish Bolton into his administration. Remember, John Bolton is, you know, you know, there there was there was nobody in the world that John Bolton didn't wanna bomb.
Just remember that. So he brought hawkish Bolton into his administration apparently to frighten North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un into diplomatic settlement on a nuclear crisis. Trump later fired Bolton and became a dogged critic of the president. Alright? And, I'm I'm gonna tell you, honestly, there there is probably no greater view than this. We're gonna we're gonna screen share this. I I wasn't able to pull the video for it. So let me just, get this up here for you. Bring that up. Boom boom. And
[00:32:16] Unknown:
advisor John Bolton arriving at a United States District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland. He is expected to surrender after being indicted on 18 counts over the alleged mishandling of classified documents. Bolton faces eight counts of transmission of national defense information and 10 counts of retention of national defense information. The documents contained intel on future attacks, foreign missile launches, and human intel sources.
[00:32:45] Unknown:
Alright. So why didn't that go? Okay. There we go. And then we don't force speech now in The United States. We have freedom. So how do you reinforce it with without being There we go. Okay. Sorry about that. I have so many tabs open on the other screen that I couldn't find where that one was. And I thought when I removed it from here, it wouldn't show up. But I I so I apologize for that. Alright. So today, Bolton, he, he plead not guilty to all 18 charges in the, grand in a grand indictment handed down earlier today. Bolton pleaded before magistrate judge in Maryland in a roughly twenty minute proceeding. National security adviser Donald Trump, during his first term, later became a vocal Trump critic, was charged with storing top secret records at home and sharing with relatives, diary diary like notes about his time in the administration that contained classified information.
The indictment also suggested that classified information was exposed when operatives believed to be linked to the Iranian regime hacked Bolton's email account according to the Associated Press. Bolton's lawyer, Abby Lowell, says that his client did not unlawfully share or store any information. Now, of course, we kind of expected him to plead not guilty to it, you know. And what I find very interesting here too is, they hacked Bolton's email account. The email account that they hacked was a private email account that he held on, I think it was Gmail, if I'm not mistaken.
And, I don't know if you noticed this, but every it seems like everyone is getting caught in these things. I've been using things like Gmail, AOL, all that stuff to, and and they all have their private servers, which they're not supposed to have when they're trans when they're handling classified information. And here's guys like John Bolton, Hillary Clinton, all them that are transmitting and sharing top secret classified information via Gmail. Now think about that. Not the most secure way to do it, and it kinda makes you wonder why. Makes you wonder why. Makes me wonder why.
So John Bolton indicted today, another one, on the road to, to, to trial for mishandling classified information. And, of course, that goes you have James come James Comey now. You have Leticia James. You know, you have, now you have, John Bolton. And, you know, I was wondering who's gonna be next. I'm wondering who's gonna be next. We'll see. We shall see. Alright. Let's see what else we got. Alright. This, this came in before the show started. So, so the the house has not voted on a continuing resolution to reopen the federal government, since last month when it passed a clean resolution that would help keep the government funded through November 21, and then the the, the senate is trying to pass the same bill. Well, house speaker Mike Johnson, on Friday, that would be today, extended the lower chamber's recess through next week as the government shutdown becomes a third longest shutdown on record so far at seventeen days. The house has not voted on a continuing resolution to reopen the federal governments in last month when it passed a clean resolution that would keep the government funded through November 21. The senate is trying to pass the same bill.
You you know, well, let me let me finish the article here. The house clerk read an order from Johnson during the brief pro form a session that designated October as a district work week mirroring the same move he made last week. However, lawmakers are expected to be on a forty eight hour notice for chamber business back in the capital, should the need arise. The move comes according the move comes as the current shutdown officially becomes the third longest on record with the second longest being 21 under former president Bill Clinton in 1996.
The longest was during president Donald Trump's first term in 2020 2018 and 02/2019, which lasted thirty five days. And, the next senate vote on reopening the federal government is scheduled for Monday, October 20 at 05:30PM. Now do you really care that the federal government's not conducting business? I mean, they are. Things are still in motion. People are still doing their jobs. Critical jobs are still available, still be still still working and still getting paid. President's gonna be making sure that the military is getting paid. They're getting their paychecks, which is great, and it should be. You see, any when when when shutdowns like this take place, it should never affect. I my opinion. Correct me if I'm wrong, drop a comment down below, let me know what you think. But shutdowns should not affect the military or federal law enforcement.
It just shouldn't. It should affect the administrative side of things. Shut down the IRS. Get rid of them. Shut down Department of Energy. Get rid of them. Don't need them. With the government shutdown now for the last seventeen days, I mean, has has the world come to an end? No. Life goes on. The states, though, have to pick up the slack. It's a good way to force the states to do it. And one of the things that I think the the, the entrenched Washington DC folks don't want the American people to realize what the shutdown is, just how much you don't need the federal government involved in every aspect of your life.
It's a good thing. Keep it shut down. Keep it. Who cares? Life moves on. Life goes on. However, Chuck Schumer said that, he didn't that that he was going to, keep the government closed until after, October 18. So I'm very curious. Now they they have this vote set for October 20. Let's see if if if he, moves to reopen the government because this is on him. This is all on the Democrats. They they say that the Republicans are causing the the shutdown. The Republican not causing the shutdown. The Republicans put a bill forward. They have voted on the same thing. Not a bill. I'm sorry. Committee resolution. They've they've voted on the same thing numerous times prior to this.
The reason why they're shutting the the the the the Democrats are not voting in line with this is that the funding for, transgender, health care, quote, unquote health care, and to give illegal aliens access to free health care on the American taxpayer. That's the main thing that they're holding back on. That's the main thing that they don't want. That that's the main thing that the Democrats want to be paid for and funded.
[00:40:25] Unknown:
They deny that. They say that no, no, no. It's illegal for for illegal immigrants to get government benefits and health care insurance and all that stuff,
[00:40:36] Unknown:
but they do. They do. How many how many illegal aliens have we found out have social security numbers? Driver's licenses. No name given, remember? How many of them have we found? How many have have Doge pulled out of the woodwork? Quite a bit. Quite a bit. So the argument that illegals don't get those benefits from the federal government is bullcrap, to be honest. Just to be blunt, it's bullcrap. They do. And that's what they're fighting for. They're fighting to keep the funding in place so that illegal aliens can continue to get government benefits on The US taxpayer.
This is what your taxes are going for. Now well, I'm not gonna get there. Another time. Alright. Well, I'm I'm just gonna say that, you know, it it and one of another thing that really bugs me about this whole thing is that, you know, the government is shut down. Right? And we're we're holding the line for, you know, what's right in that granted, but the American people are struggling to pay their bills, to pay their taxes. Hello? To put food in the in the refrigerator, put food in it to feed their families, but yet the federal government can still cut a check to Argentina for $40,000,000,000.
Prices are still up. Had a great conversation, with a friend yesterday about this who works in the energy business, and we're gonna have him on the show soon. And we'll talk about a number of things, and he explained, you know, from the energy business side of things. And I get it. I understand it. Totally. But it's still affecting people, still hitting their pockets. You know, I I'm looking at going to the market this weekend, and who knows how much I'm gonna spend. I I do need I need a few things. I bought, like, last week, I I picked up, like, six things. It was, like, $75.
That's ridiculous. Energy prices are still high. Everything is still high. Granted it's not as high as it would be under Joe Biden, and if he would have succeeded with his, plan for the green new scam, would have been much, much worse for sure. But please don't get up in a podium and tell us that prices are down and they're going down. They're not. Not where I am anyway. But another issue, and it's it's way off what I was planning on talking about. So, again, so now this weekend, the reason why Chuck Schumer wanted to wait to reopen the government was after the no kings protest weekends.
Alright. So, the no kings movement, protests against Donald Trump and his admin and the administration's policies are set to kick off in cities nationwide on Saturday, so that's tomorrow. So be careful. If you're out and about and you're anywhere near these things, these are violent leftists or potentially violent leftists who have a lot of funding even though they say no. This is organic grassroots stuff. No. A lot of NGOs are behind this, and I'm gonna show you something in a second. So the no kings protest against, president Trump and his administration's policies are set to kick off cities nationwide Saturday to declare that America has no kings. Well, no shit.
I mean, really, no no kidding. There are no kings in America. And what gets me too is, like, you know, Donald Trump has said, you know, he wouldn't he wouldn't mind being a king. But what people what people on the left don't understand is humor. Alright. Donald Trump is like the king of trolls. The king of troll. And I'm gonna show you something in a second, just to give you an example of of what I mean by that. He's the king of trolls. The boss of trolls. Like, if you don't wanna use the word king. So the left has no sense of humor. They they they they they they're just spiritually dead.
I mean, they're just dead. Dead inside. You know? Just there's like nothing to them anymore. The the left has no sense of humor. The left has no idea how to laugh at things or poke fun at things. They have none of it. So when he says that I I wouldn't mind being a king, they take that literally. Of course, he doesn't mean that. Of course not. America does not have a king. If if America had a king, they wouldn't be able to protest no kings. Makes sense? Does that make I mean, is it me? Or does that make sense? That makes sense. So give just some background on this. So the the the the protests declaring that America has no king started way back in February on President's Day.
And then, they had they had a they had their moment back in June when, when the president held a military parade, which was really honoring the the United States army's, two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. And and, of course, that falls on his birthday. So the left took that to be that, oh, the president's throwing himself a party.
[00:46:48] Unknown:
He's throwing a parade for himself like a king. He's a king. He wants to be a king. He's not
[00:46:53] Unknown:
that's the left.
[00:46:56] Unknown:
War runs. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
[00:47:03] Unknown:
Then of course, tens of thousands of people took to the street, the protesters in Washington, Los Angeles, Denver, Philadelphia, New York, and and other places too to protest what they thought was what they looked at as and and they they they they tried to portray as Donald Trump's coronation. Coronation day for the president of The United States, and as we translate him from just a mere president to the king of America. I mean, it it sounds ridiculous, but that's what they think. That's what they think, and that's what they were thinking. The, No Kings website said this, the world saw the power of the people. The president president Trump's birthday parade was drowned out by protests in every state across the globe. His attempt to turn June 14 into his coronation collapsed, and the story became the strength of a movement rising against authoritarian power grabs.
I mean, these people are just unhinged. They're absolutely unhinged. But just to show you what I mean about trolling, here here's so the, the White House now has a a Blue Sky account. So I don't know if you if you're familiar with Blue Sky. Blue Sky is the, alternative to to x now, which is just, you know, it's it's just an echo chamber for the left, so they can get on there and they can do all those and so they can get on there and they they can, you know, have have their safe space and talk about all, you know, all how how bad and evil the right is and Donald Trump and they and not and and not have to worry about getting challenged on their on what they think. So the White House now has a Blue Sky account, and, this is what they posted today on Blue Sky.
[00:49:11] Unknown:
My fellow Americans, our movement is far from over. In fact, our fight has only just begun. We are one movement, one people, one family, and one glorious nation under God. So with American pride swelling in our hearts
[00:49:31] Unknown:
and American courage
[00:49:33] Unknown:
stirring in our souls, I say these words to you today, we
[00:49:38] Unknown:
will make America great again.
[00:50:02] Unknown:
Again, the the trolling. I mean, that is to me, that's hysterical. That's funny that he did that. But of course, the left is freaking out about that. But that was just an example. Okay? So now, now this no kings thing, kinda what I've kinda intimated before was, you know, there are, this this no kings protest, especially the one here in New York that well, here in New York, because coming up in New York, you know, and and tomorrow, Saturday, it's actually, you know, it it's funded. It's well funded by a lot of NGOs, non governmental organizations, and, and and several several communist groups.
Communist groups. Democrats and communists or or communist Democrats are holding a no kings rally this weekend. Now the New York City no kings rally sponsored by several communist groups, Democratic Socialists of America, New York Working Families Party, CPUSA, and Freedom Socialist Party are all sponsoring this rally against president Donald j Trump. So, and just to show you what I'm talking about, here you go. There you go. You have, let's see. Where was it? Well, you have the Communist Workers Party right there. You also have the New York City Democratic Socialists in that second line, right next to 802, and then 1199SCIU, which, by the way, when when I worked in New York City, I was forced
[00:52:10] Unknown:
to be a part of that union. That's disgusting. So that's where your union dues are going, dudes. For everybody that's part of the of eleven ninety nine SEIU,
[00:52:16] Unknown:
that's where your money's going. That's where your union dues are going. Alright? Then of course, you have the New York workers Working Families Party, which is communist. So just look at that. Just look at all of those organizations that are funding this no kings rally. Communists, socialist. Look on the bottom there, the Freedom Socialist Party. Communist Party USA, right there at the bottom, CPUSA. The Workers' Circle. All of these organizations. All of these organizations. All of these NGOs.
[00:53:16] Unknown:
The
[00:53:17] Unknown:
communists, the democratic socialist, they're trying to tear this country apart, and they're trying to do it from within. And then you have Chuck Schumer, a man who never shies away from a camera. Instead of trying to work to end this, end the the Schumer shutdown, aptly named after him because he's the one right you know, leading all this, instead of trying to end that and work on that and resolve that, what is he doing? He's out promoting this communist backed rally.
[00:54:06] Unknown:
And here's Schumer in his words. This weekend's no kings rallies will be an affirmation about what America is all about. We are democracy in America. We have no kings despite the fact that Trump has even said he wants to become one.
[00:54:22] Unknown:
Yeah. No. We're not a democracy in America. We are a republic.
[00:54:28] Unknown:
Despite the fact that Trump has even said he wants to become one.
[00:54:33] Unknown:
Donald Trump never said he wanted to become a king seriously. He was trolling. It was a joke. It was a joke. And these people take it literally, which which makes it even funnier
[00:54:44] Unknown:
that they're act they're reacting this way to it. And he's acting in ways that are a threat to our democracy. And I say to my fellow citizens, do not let Donald Trump or Republicans intimidate you into silence. That's what they wanna do. They're afraid of the truth. Republicans are going apoplectic.
[00:55:05] Unknown:
Oh, no. They're not. They're really not. They're really not. The ones that are going apoplectic and that are denying truth is the man standing right in front of you and the party that he represents. That that that's who's going apoplectic. That is who is against free speech. That is I mean, again, once again, the left always accuses the right of doing the things that they do.
[00:55:31] Unknown:
Because Americans are exercising their right to free speech. I say to Americans, show the world how much we love this country, how much we love our values, how much we love our democracy and wanna preserve it. And don't be afraid. Trump and the Republicans want you to be afraid. They don't like free speech when it's free speech they don't wanna hear.
[00:55:54] Unknown:
They but they so he's saying that Republicans don't like free speech unless it's speech that they wanna hear, but yet the left notoriously shuts down any opposing viewpoint. The tolerant left does not like when you have an opposing view or a view that does not align exactly with what they want. That's that that's what cancel culture all was all about. How dare you speak out against this subject? We're gonna we're gonna wreck your life. We're gonna demonetize your channels. We're gonna we're gonna get you kicked off of of, of all the social media platforms. Look what they did to Donald Trump. They did it to how many other peoples, Steve Crowder. How many other people how many people have they done that to?
Thousands. Thousands of people. Especially during COVID. Oh, god forbid. You you had an opposing view to what they were telling you. What did they they canceled you out. They got rid of you. They shut you down. They threw you out. They've you didn't exist to them. The left's version of free speech is what he just described to you. The left's version of free of free speech is you have to agree with me, and if you don't, we're gonna cancel you. We're gonna shut you up. What the left does and believes, they always accuse the right of.
[00:57:25] Unknown:
But we're not gonna let them intimidate us. For weeks, Republicans have tried to vilify these rallies. They call them the most ridiculous of terms, hate America rallies. These are love America rallies. Yeah. Love America rallies that are hosted by the Democratic socialist parties,
[00:57:45] Unknown:
the communist workers party, you know, all of these communist socialist NGOs and and political parties and affiliated groups, they don't love America. But this is the side this this is this is what the left has embraced. Schmucky Schumer is probably the most disingenuous liar that there ever was. I saw some place that he's he's thinking about retiring. Please. You know what, Chuck? If if if you wanna show how much you love America, resign. Step down. Let somebody else take over. That would work for me.
[00:58:37] Unknown:
They call them terrorist rallies. They are? That's just despicable. Do not let Donald Trump or Republicans intimidate you into silence. That is what they want. That is how dictators evolve when good people of all different.
[00:58:54] Unknown:
By the way, another really good example of how the left likes to silence people with opposing viewpoints was on full demonstration a month ago when Charlie Kirk was brutally assassinated at a college campus with his wife and children in in the audience or backstage. That's the left. You don't see the right doing that. That's the left. You see, I said it the other day. The left always talks about we need to have dialogue, we need to talk, we need to talk things out, we need to, you know, have, conversations, keep talking, so on and so forth. Right?
But when you do, what do they do? They scream, they rant, they rave if you don't agree with them and and affirm the things that they wanna talk about, or the things that they talk about, or the things they hold the, value to them. And then you have someone like Charlie Kirk who goes to the college campuses, challenges people to think critically about their political views and positions, and not just politics, but their religious views and their positions as well. And he gets killed for it by someone on the left. Unbelievable.
[01:00:27] Unknown:
Beliefs and backgrounds, stay silent. No king's day says we will not stay silent.
[01:00:40] Unknown:
I wish he would stay silent. He's just I also find it very interesting that, he's doing this obviously, he he obviously, this is being spoken in the senate chambers. So who's he talking? He he he's supposed to be addressing the senate or the American people. It seems like he's trying to address the American people. Senator Rick Scott called out minority leader Chuck Schumer for endorsing this disgusting anti American event. Scott warned that Schumer Scott warned Schumer that if he attends this event, he will endorse communism in America. Senator Scott senator Rick Scott said, the no kings protest in New York this weekend is sponsored by multiple communist groups, including the Communist Party of the USA. This is who senator Schumer is cowering and shutting down your federal government to appease.
It's disgusting, and if Chuck Schumer attends this protest, it will be his full endorsement of communism in America. He's right. He's absolutely right. But this is the direction that the left is going. The the left is embracing socialism. The left is embracing communism. They're trying to candy coat it by calling it democratic socialism. There is no such thing. There is no democracy in socialism. None. You know, folks, we're we're we're we're in a very, very dangerous period of time. And I know other generations have said it, but it's true.
Look at what is going on around you. There is more violence now than there ever really has been. Political violence. The left is openly showing you where their true core beliefs are, which very, very similar to socialism, socialist governments, communist governments. You know, they wanna get rid of God, they wanna get rid of your guns, they wanna get rid of your free speech, they wanna so they wanna, a cradle to the grave type of, of of of of care for the people. I would say care in quotes because they really don't care. These are the things that socialism or socialistic governments do.
They love to call the they love to call the folks on the right Nazis. Right? But what's Naziism? Nazi was national socialism. That's what the left is. That's it. That's what the left is. That's what they're embracing. Folks, this is a very dangerous time we're living in. We need to be very, very careful. We need to be watching very carefully what's going on around us. The left is unhinged. The left is the most violent it's ever been, and we need to be careful. We need to be watchful. And that doesn't mean to sit on our hands and not do anything. What it means is we need to get people who believe in this republic, who believe in the republican form of government.
Because look, the republican party is not the republican party back in the day. The Republican party has its issues. So when I say republican form of government, I mean, in in the small r sense of the word republic or republican form of government. Representatives that are elected by the people to represent the people. A government run by the rule of law, not the dictates of a of of a of a man. We have a republic. We don't say, you know, and to the democracy for which it stands. We say to the republic for which it stands. Our founding fathers were were geniuses in setting up this form of government and incredibly prescient when Ben Franklin said, we've given you a republic if you can keep it.
To keep a republic, you have to get involved. To keep a republic, you have to be on guard all the time. It's very easy to get complacent. We've been here for two hundred fifty years, which is the average life expectancy of the republic in history. And you see it coming apart, but it doesn't have to. It doesn't have to. You need to get involved. Get involved in your local government. Get involved in your school boards. Get involved in your community, and get involved in your districts. Get involved in your state government. Run for an office, because that's what the left is doing, Which is probably a good tie into the the next thing I wanted to talk about, which is what's going on here in New York City.
Let's, let's switch over to that one. Let me just do this. I'll clip out some of these things, make some room here. Okay. Alrighty. Alright. So what's going on in New York? Alright. So you have, you have a three way mayoral race. You have, Andrew Cuomo, the former disgraced, governor of New York, who is running for mayor of New York City now. Curtis Sliwa, who is, he's the founder of the Guardian Angels, which is a volunteer organization that, they they would patrol subways and neighborhoods and, you know, kinda be a set of eyes and ears for law enforcement. They didn't have any particular powers of law enforcement of powers or anything like that, but they were, like, watch groups, and they would they would, you know, help preserve the piece, at a time when New York City really needed it back in the in the late seventies, early eighties before Giuliani came on and turned the whole city around, only to have it wrecked again by Mike Bloomberg and and Big Bird with I forgot his name, de Blasio, and and and, and now this, the current mayor, mayor Adams, which I'm surprised because, you know, I I know he's a lefty, but, you know, mayor Adams was you know, he he was a high ranking police officer in in the NYPD.
You know, he was up there, like, talking one police plaza level. He was up there. So surprising that that he let things go the way they did, but then again, he put politics above policy. So, and then you have, Zoran Mamdani. Alright. Now now Andrew Cuomo ran as a Democrat, but he got beaten by Mamdani in the primaries, which is horrifying if you really think about it. I mean, neither one of the candidates are great. I would I mean, I I could never, you know, even if even if Cuomo was the only person running, I would not even go into the into the election, and and to a voting station and and vote him in. I never. I would never do it. Because he, because he he's he's a fake tough guy, is what he is.
Alright? He hides behind his Italian. I mean, look, I he's a paisano. I I I get it. You know? You shouldn't talk about you. No. You do because he's a freaking moron. You have Curtis Liwa, who was a Republican candidate, which I I could have told you from the start it was gonna be a tough fight for him because I remember when this election cycle started and, Curtis Liwa, announced he was running, the Republican Party of the state of New York sent out a message over over, social media telling Republicans in New York to get out. Could you imagine that? Imagine your state Republican party telling you to get out of your state.
There's no options for you anymore. Get out. Get out. That but that's what the Republican Party of New York did. So I don't know how much effort they actually put in behind, you know, helping a Curtis Lee work, to, to to get to where he is or or at least get elected. And I don't think he ever had a chance, to be quite honest with you. I I really don't. And, you know, I I I don't know Curtis Lee personally, but I I've seen the work that he does, and I and I and I I've seen his career. After the Guardian Angels and and and conjunction with the Guardian Angels and his radio shows and and all the advocacy that he did and does and, you know, he's a good man. You know, he's smart guy. He knows his he he knows what he's doing, but he had no chance.
He and he still has really no chance, unless something big happens. I think he's pulling it like 17% or something like that. What's scary is mom Donnie is over 40%. Now I just now New York, I don't understand this. Again, I'm a New Yorker. I worked for New York City. What you're seeing is the results of open borders. That's what you're see. You're seeing this is the result of open borders. This is, of unfettered immigration. This is what you're seeing. Because here you have a Muslim. It's funny how quickly people forget nine eleven.
But here you have a Muslim, and here you have someone who is who claims to be a Muslim democratic socialist. Again, like I said at the beginning of the show, I don't know how that all meshes together and how that all comes to, you know, into one into a into a a a political stance. I I don't get it because I don't think either one of them go together. But this debate took place, and I'm gonna show you some clips from it. We'll we'll we'll we'll break that down as we go through. There were there was a couple of things, and and the other the other debate that took place was the, the Virginia, AG, debate.
And we're gonna cut we're gonna get to that here in a minute. But, here in New York, it's, you have the again, the Democratic socialist, Zoran Mamdani, New York assemblyman, who has a comfortable polling lead throughout the general campaign, who has had a cult like, a comfortable polling lead throughout the general campaign season faced off against the disgraced former New York governor Andrew Cuomo and the Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who was the founder and CEO of the Guardian Angels nonprofit. The city's current mayor, Eric Adams, dropped out of the race at the September.
Though there was no clear winner in the debate, it was, of course, quite lively at times with Cuomo coming out swinging against Mamdani on the issues of on the issue of the Israel Hamas war, Mamdani's refusal condemned the pro Hamas, globalized AM Fattata chant you frequently hear at these con at these protests. And and, of course, he's a protest that Mamdani has defended and, you know, sometimes even attended. And then, of course, you know, in response, Mamdani falsely accused Israel of genocide, took a swipe at Cuomo for joining Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's defense team in the international criminal court case. So with that said, let's, let's get to some of the, some of the clips here. So here is, here is Andrew Cuomo, talking about which one is this?
[01:14:14] Unknown:
Let's play it. The assemblyman will not denounce Hamas. The assemblyman will not denounce Hassan Piker, who said America deserved nine eleven. The assemblyman just said in his response, well, it depends on, occupation. That is code, meaning that the Israel does not have a right to exist as a Jewish state, which he has never acknowledged. That is from the river to the sea. That's why he won't denounce globalize the intifada,
[01:14:44] Unknown:
which means kill all Jews. Let's give mister Mamdani a chance to respond to that. I wanna be very clear. The occupation.
[01:14:51] Unknown:
Okay. So before I before we play his response, unfortunately, I have to I have to agree with Andrew Cuomo on this. He's right. He's right. You gotta remember also that that, that in in Islam, they they're they have a they have this thing called Taqiyah, which means that, they're allowed to lie to you if if you are a quote unquote infidel. You know, you're not a a a Muslim. They can they're allowed, they're permitted under their religion to lie to you to to gain position over you, or to win you over. Remember that.
[01:15:36] Unknown:
I wanna be very clear. The occupation is a reference to international law and the violation of it, which mister Cuomo has no regard for since he signed up to be Benjamin Netanyahu's legal defense team during the course of this genocide. And I find the comments that Hassan made on 09/11 to be objectionable and reprehensible. And I also think that part of the reason why Democrats are in the situation that we are in of being a permanent minority in this country is we are looking only to speak to journalists and streamers and Americans with whom we agree of every single thing that they say. We need to take the case to every person, and I'm happy to do that, which is why I was on Fox News yesterday talking about how I wish it was more like NASCAR so we could see all the billionaires who are sponsoring you right on your suit jacket.
[01:16:21] Unknown:
Alright. And then, the subject turned to the matter of experience. And, the former governor, Andrew Cuomo, was very quick to point out and, to contrast his experience with in governing and leadership with, Mamdani's lack of experience, with his own time in politics. Let's, take a look at that.
[01:16:55] Unknown:
In other words, what the assemblyman said is he has no experience. And this is not a job for someone who has no management experience to run 300,000 people, no financial experience to run $115,000,000,000 budget. He literally has never had a job. On his resume, it says he interned for his mother. This is not a job for a first timer. Any day, you could have a hurricane, you have, god forbid, a nine eleven, a health pandemic.
[01:17:23] Unknown:
If you don't know what you're doing, people don't know. Mister Mamdani, do you wanna respond? And and if we have a health pandemic, then why would New Yorkers turn back to the governor who sent seniors to their death in nursing homes? That's the kind of experience that's on offer here today. What I don't have an experience, I make up for in integrity. And what you don't have an integrity, you could never make up for in experience. Yes. May I?
[01:17:42] Unknown:
First, what you said was totally false, as you know. Which part was false? During COVID, everyone did whatever they could in this state. And there have been numerous investigations, where they've gone through it, and they said we followed federal guidance, but, yes, people died during COVID. And my heart breaks for everyone that broke in that died in this state
[01:18:04] Unknown:
and across this nation. But but just to be clear, mister, just to fact check that there is a criminal investigation reportedly underway at the DOJ
[01:18:13] Unknown:
about your testimony to congress about your nursing home record. Yeah. But that was that is a, political issue with the congress. They made a referral, which has gone absolutely nowhere.
[01:18:25] Unknown:
So, some some good points on on both side of that. But but but if you but where Cuomo is correct is that you need to have some kind of experience in leadership in this. I can't I can't argue with him. I I I can't. Again, I'm not supporting and I'm not endorsing Andrew Cuomo at all. But, he's not right. He's not wrong. And and and yes, there is still pending, investigations or investigations going into his response to COVID, which was horrendous. Absolutely horrendous. And, you know, it's, it it's as someone who well, I don't I don't know how to phrase. I'm not I'm not gonna do it that way. Alright. Let's let's move on.
Alright. So, here is so like like we heard, he said that in response to his, inexperience, try to make the race about integrity something which the pro Hamas state lawmaker is also in short supply of. Let's see. Mamdani also jabbed Cuomo over the 2020 nursing home scandal, which we just heard. They denied that he would defund the police if ever elected mayors. Let's take a look at that.
[01:19:52] Unknown:
Much as Andrew Cuomo wants to bring up tweets from 2020, which is around the same time that he was sending seniors to their death in nursing homes. I am looking to work with police officers, not to defund the NYPD, looking to ensure that officers can actually do one job when they're signing up to join that department. Not the many jobs or ask them to say specifically referred to comments you made. We will come back to that, but we're up to date.
[01:20:16] Unknown:
Rough. Candidates and racists. We're moving on. That's what you said. Your words. Your words. We're moving on.
[01:20:27] Unknown:
So according to this, where was it? Yeah. But you see, defunding the police, that that's something that the left has been talking about for quite some time. And, I'm telling you underneath under this administration, under a Mamdani administration, that's exactly what you're gonna see. You're going to see the NYPD depleted, because what's gonna end up happening as well is, you know, New York cops, they're gonna walk away from the job. They're gonna walk away from the job. There are quite a few of them who are close to retirement. When I left New York, there was, it was with, like, 40,000 New York City cops.
40,000, if if I'm remembering correct. And that's, that's not including, like, non uniforms personnel. I'm just about uniforms for about 40,000. You're gonna see a a you you'll you will see a lot of people leaving the police. You will. And then what'll happen? They'll hire, more people like Mamdani, Democratic socialists, communist that would not flinch at just following the orders. Just just to think about. Just just a thought. Just a thought. Alright. Then, then then they kinda sparred over Israel, Gaza, Hamas,
[01:22:22] Unknown:
and let's take a look at that. These answer about your own relationship with the Muslim community. You did not visit mosques for many years. More recently, you have been. Yeah. I don't think I'm I I don't think in any way, the assemblyman is representative of the Muslim community, which is a vital community in New York City, and, I am very fond of and I've been working with. I think he's playing his own politics. Many of his positions don't even follow,
[01:22:49] Unknown:
the Muslim faith, so I see them as two totally separate things. Mister Mamdani Yeah. Wanna respond? You know, it took Andrew Cuomo being beaten by a Muslim candidate in the Democratic primary for him to set foot in a mosque. He had more than ten years, and he couldn't name a single mosque at the last debate we had that he visited. And what Muslims want in this city is what every community wants and deserves. They want equality, and they want respect. And it took me to get you to even see those Muslims as part of this city, and that frankly is something that is shameful and is why so many New Yorkers have lost faith in this politics. Yeah. Except, you know, that's all I've worked with the Muslim community for many, many years. A single mosque you went to when you were the governor. But Can you name a single mosque you went to in ten years? You were ever
[01:23:34] Unknown:
here. They were Before I was here? Before you were even in state government. I worked with Okay. Muslim community. Yeah. Imams presided over state of the States. We worked in religious working groups, Taliban, anti Semitic groups, etcetera. Alright, gentlemen.
[01:23:49] Unknown:
Mister Sleeway, Rosalina has a specific question for you, but I'll give you a second here. This is what disturbs me about you.
[01:23:56] Unknown:
You will be celebrating your birthday this weekend. In 1991, I was in the streets of Crown Heights with the guardian angels for thirty days and thirty nights when the first democratic socialist mayor of New York City, that's right, David Dinkins, was a proud member of the democratic socialist of America, abandoned the Jews for three days. They were left to their own means, and we protected them for thirty days and thirty nights. Then your favorite mayor, Bill de Blasio, in 2019 abandoned the Jews again when they were being attacked in Williamsburg and Pearl Park and Crown Heights. And I had to bring the guardian angels in for thirty days, thirty nights. Mister Smith. Jews don't trust that you are gonna be there for them when they are victims of anti Semitic attacks. Okay. Brief
[01:24:43] Unknown:
Excellent points. Excellent points. Curtis finally got something to say or at least some attention, but he's right. During the Crown Heights riots, I remember that. I was in New York at the time. I lived I lived there. I was, like, 20, 21, something like that. I remember those riots. I remember exactly what took place, and I remember the guardian angels there. And there was no support from the Democratic socialist mayor of New York City, David Dinkins. None. And then again, when de Blasio, none. And to be quite honest with you, I I wouldn't trust him either. And you heard him talking about visiting mosques. Well, mister Mamdani, have you visited any churches, any synagogues?
I don't recall seeing that anywhere. And he keeps throwing out the he's a Muslim. He's a Muslim. He's a Muslim. Folks in New York, you may be paying attention to this. And then the issue of the National Guard in New York City comes up. And this is where where I was saying that there was, you know, Andrew Cuomo is this, you know, is this foe tough guy. You know? And, in this particular in this clip here, they were talking about, should Donald Trump send the National Guard into New York City, you know, how would how would that, play out? And, Andrew Cuomo goes on to say about how when he, during COVID, you know, he told Donald Trump not to do something, and Donald Trump backed down and and didn't do it. And, I'm gonna let him say it for himself. I'll tell it a lot better than I will.
But then, Curtis Lee, jumps on in there and and and and corrects him, and rightly so. Rightly so. Let's let's take a look.
[01:27:10] Unknown:
Why? Because I said to him, don't you dare. We don't need it. And he backed down, and he will again. So that proves a good relationship. Wait. Wait a second. The president is gonna back down to you, Andrew Cuomo. I know you you think you're the toughest guy alive,
[01:27:25] Unknown:
but let me tell you something. You lost your own primary. Right? You were rejected by your Democrats. Why do you have a different goal? With our understanding that what the term no is. You're not gonna stand up to Donald Trump. And I agree with Curtis. You're not gonna stand up to Donald Trump. Okay. And he can't stand up to Donald Trump who knocked him right on his toes. We have no We have no negotiate with him. You don't fight with him because only the people of New York City will lose. We do have a
[01:27:54] Unknown:
Great point, Curtis. Great point. He's not gonna back down. Donald Trump doesn't gonna back down, and he made a very good point. You don't fight with him, you negotiate with him. That's that's how it works, and he and he again, he's right that should there be some kind of a showdown between the administration, the the the mayor of New York City and the president of The United States right now, the only ones that are gonna suffer in it are gonna be the New York City citizens. That's it. The citizens of the City of New York. That's it. Now, of course, now there there was a there was a very odd moment in this whole thing. The question was, and I and I kinda felt bad here to be honest with you, for, for for for this because, you know, it it just I I get it. He he he I don't I don't think he I think he misunderstood the question or he misheard the question.
Not making an excuse for for Curtis Sliwa in this, but I I don't know if but it was it did make a funny moment here. So let's let's take a look at that.
[01:29:06] Unknown:
Who's the best modern day US president? Mister Cuomo?
[01:29:12] Unknown:
Modern day? Well, I'm partial. I was Bill Clinton's housing and urban development secretary. We built affordable housing all across The United States. To Bill Clinton? Empowerment zones. I would say Bill Clinton. Okay. Mister Mamdani?
[01:29:28] Unknown:
I would say
[01:29:30] Unknown:
FDR. A socialist. Mister Sliwa. Modern day? Modern. Man I'd say FDR also.
[01:29:37] Unknown:
If that's modern day. Mister Sliwa. A man that ended up being loved by And I like how I how Cuomo, you know, picked up on modern day because, you know, I don't think well, I don't I don't know. I don't I don't think that FDR qualifies a modern day president. I think a modern day president would be sometime within our generation, our lifetimes. You know? So some someone from the, you know, maybe the seventies on up would be more appropriate. But it figures that a socialist would pick a socialist.
[01:30:12] Unknown:
Democrats and Republicans alike, the greatest governor we've ever had in my lifetime, George Pataki. Three terms, no chaos, no corruption. Oh, I was asking. Actually beat President. The better president.
[01:30:24] Unknown:
President. President. President. President. President.
[01:30:28] Unknown:
Who's the Yeah. Who you thought? The best moderator? President in our lifetime? Yeah. Or I would say the best president in our lifetime that I've experienced, I would go back to Ronald Reagan. Ronald Reagan. Alright. I you see,
[01:30:45] Unknown:
I love Ronald Reagan. I Ronald Reagan was the first president that I was ever able to vote for. Love him. I think he did a great job, but I would have to say I think that I don't know. Donald Trump's on track for that. I don't know. I don't know.
[01:31:07] Unknown:
Okay.
[01:31:09] Unknown:
Okay. He agrees. Okay. Alright. Well, but the I think the the the most interesting thing that took place in in this whole debate that took place, here in New York was the question was asked. The the question how do I how am I gonna phrase it? The question was asked, who would endorse the current governor who is gonna be running for reelection in New York, Kathy Hochul, who I think happens to be probably the worst president. The the the worst governor in the in the entire country. And, I think it was hilarious to be quite honest with you that this that that it it came up this way, because when you when I show you the clip, you'll you'll you'll see what I'm talking about. Not one of the candidates said that they would endorse Kathy Hochul, including Maum Dani including Maum Dani, who sought after and actually got governor Hochul's endorsement back in September.
[01:32:23] Unknown:
Check it out. Show of hands. Who supports Kathy Hochul for reelection?
[01:32:28] Unknown:
It's a decision that should be made after this general election. So no decision. Mister Cuomo, you hand picked her as your lieutenant governor. No no thought. You have to know, who's running. Yeah. Okay. So And I would add that I do think that Kathy Hochul, our governor, has been doing a good job in not only serving for reelection? Not only delivering for New Yorkers, but also standing up to Donald Trump. Just what do you support for reelection? Endorse her. I'm focusing on November. Why don't you endorse her? I appreciate her support and I appreciate her work. But you don't endorse her.
[01:32:58] Unknown:
Now, I didn't I didn't pull it up, but, on x, councilwoman Vicky Palladino, who is extremely vocal. She's a she's a hoot, man. She really is. I I remember her when I was up in New York. She is a hoot. She wrote this on x. She wrote, Zoran just stabbed Hochul in the back right there on stage. Lesson for Democrats, the DSA, the Democratic Socialist of America, is is coming for you. Your fealty will never be reciprocated, and they hate you just as much as they hate Republicans. Absolutely, 100% spot on. New York, I love New York. My hometown man, I hate to say it, but thoughts and prayers, man.
Thoughts and prayers. No matter because like I said, Sliwa, I I I would love to see him win, but he's too far out. I don't think it's gonna happen. And if New York gets either Cuomo or mom Donnie, which is looking more like he's they're gonna get mom Donnie. Get out now. Get out. Get out. Thoughts and prayers, New York. Thoughts and prayers. Now the other thing too is, you know, a lot of people say you get, you know, you're getting what you deserve. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I I agree with that. I do. You know, you keep voting for these types of people, you know, the the quote unquote greatest city in the world is going to collapse.
It's gonna collapse. Thoughts and prayers, New York. Thoughts and prayers. Alright. Moving on here to let's go to Virginia really quick. So I'm gonna I'm gonna do some, screen shares on this one because I I didn't have space here to, put the clips in. So, alright. So Jay Jones, candidate for attorney general in the great state of Virginia. A far left. I don't I I don't know if he's a I don't know if he's a if he's a socialist or not. I I I'm I'm reading my notes here. I I don't see where where I put it there. But, so you so you have, Jay Jones, who is a a far left Democrat. He's running for the attorney general's position, the top law enforcement in the state of Virginia, and, he famously now, some tweets were put out, some text messages screenshots of text messages, actually, put out where he was talking about, literally putting bullets in the head of Republicans that he disagreed with, talking about how the only way that that, people will change their political views is through violence and through inflicting pain on them.
He also had stated that, that he hoped that, was it Gibson? I think was the let me see. Where he said that he hoped that the, that that that that the children of this Republican, would die in their arms. It it's disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. And let's go to alright. Let me screen share this. Alright. So this is this is, Jay Jones at the his opening statements at the, the debate for, attorney general. This is what he had to say.
[01:37:29] Unknown:
And you're also gonna hear from my opponent about text messages that I sent that I deeply, deeply regret. Let me be very clear. I am ashamed. I am embarrassed, and I'm sorry. I am sorry to speaker Gilbert. I'm sorry to his family. I'm sorry to my family, and I'm sorry to every single Virginian. I cannot take back what I said, but you have my word that I will always be accountable for my mistakes. And you also have my word that I will spend every waking moment fighting for you.
[01:38:11] Unknown:
So you heard him there. Now to be honest with you, if he if he were truly sorry, he would drop out of the race. He would. That that's that's what I would do if I was in that situation. I would drop out of the race. He's already under fire for, for past politically violent rhetoric, which he expressed a desire to kill his GOP rival, devastating, faced devastating scrutiny when Miyares opened the debate by reminding Virginians of Jones 116 mile per hour joyride down Interstate 64. Earlier this month's earlier this month, Miyares, who's the incumbent, wrote on x, Jay Jones was caught recklessly driving a 116 miles per hour on I 64, then he tried to claim campaign work for his own PAC, counted as community service to avoid jail. Jay Jones is too soft on crime, including his own. And, let's share this.
[01:39:10] Unknown:
On a dangerous stretch of I 64, Jay Jones pushed the needle to a 116 miles an hour. That puts regular Virginians in jail, but Jay Jones is a politician. He got off. Jay Jones' punishment for endangering lives, community service, and he served himself. Jay Jones counted work for his political committee to avoid jail.
[01:39:33] Unknown:
Jay Jones is is too soft on crime like his own. I'm Jason Miyares, candidate for attorney general, and I sponsored this ad.
[01:39:43] Unknown:
So that ad has been floating all over Virginia. All over Virginia. During the debate, as you like you heard in the in the clip there, Miyar has accused Jones of manipulating the, legal system to avoid jail time and then using his own political action committee to satisfy court order community service. Can you you imagine that? The the the stones I'm trying to I'm trying to control my language. Remember? The stones on this guy to use his own political action committee to say that he was volunteering his time for a community service at his own pack.
Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Here's a here's a clip of, Jason Miyares, basically blasting Jay Jones over the special treatment he got for his reckless driving charge. Let's, take let's take a look at that.
[01:40:48] Unknown:
Based on the incident involving mister Jones, how would you define the line between protected, albeit inappropriate, political speech and a communication that is legally prohibited? And you can address mister Jones's position as well. You have ninety seconds. The reality is that Jay Jones was in court for going a 116 miles an hour on Interstate 64.
[01:41:06] Unknown:
Four people were in court that day were going roughly the same speed. Three of those four people got suspended or active jail sentence. But Jay Jones is a politician and he asked the court not to give him any of that, to give him community service. And instead we now know he misled the court. That community service, it wasn't done for a charity. It was done for his own political action committee that he controlled. And the reality Jay is that your text messages that advocated for violence against innocent children, Jay, if you were to apply to be a line prosecutor and not just my office, any attorney general office in the country, you would not pass a background check. And right now you may say that you are sorry. But look back at what happened. You had three years to say you're sorry, Jay, and you didn't.
Three years to actually recognize what you did was horrific. You chose to stay silent. Keri Kornier called you out then. You doubled down. It was after she called you out for these text messages that that is when you said you advocated for violence against children. And when this became public, we now know your first statement wasn't saying I'm sorry. The words I'm sorry wasn't even in your statement. It was to say we all send text messages we regret, you attacked the president, and you attacked me. It wasn't until twelve hours after you were first notified that you then decided to say I'm sorry. Because at the end of the day, Jay, you're a politician, not a prosecutor, and you certainly can't be the top prosecutor in the state of
[01:42:33] Unknown:
Well, that's really laying it into him. And I like the I like the the I like his mannerisms at the podium. I don't know. Did you notice that? Like, he's very calm, very very collected, very comfortable. And he's but he's a thousand percent right. A thousand percent right. His first statement didn't even start with an apology. The words I'm sorry are not even in it anywhere. He's absolutely right. Now, Virginia has a choice. Virginia has a choice to make here. What are they gonna do with it? What are they gonna do? Now, of course, since the the the screenshot came out and, of of of of these horrific and reprehensible comments that, Jay Jones made, his his polling has decreased to the free fall.
And, Miara's looks like he's going to be able to, to to to to to, gain reelection as the attorney general for Virginia. So but that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let it happen. You gotta get out there and vote. Virginia, if you're listening, get out there and vote. Vote for Miyares. You don't wanna put this type of person who gained the judicial system, served his community services, his own political action committee, is an openly violent and embraces openly violent rhetoric. Just think about what he said about someone on the opposite side of the aisle, his family, his children, and think to yourself, do you want this to be the top cop in your state?
Think about that. Think about that when you go to the polls. Don't put someone like this in charge of law enforcement in your state. You will regret it. Alright. Let's see what else we got here. So earlier today, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky, met with president Donald Trump in Washington, as, that would be today. He met with him. And, the the topic of conversation is to be whether or not to arm Ukraine with Tomahawk missiles, that would be basically able to reach into, you know, fairly deep into into Russia. The meeting comes a day after Trump had great progress and was making, what said that great progress was made during a call with Russian president Vladimir Putin with the peregrine to a face to face talk in Hungary, which is great. Great news. Look. Donald Trump has done everything he could to bring peace.
Alright? He is, base he's effectively stopped eight conflicts around the world since he came to office. I think he'll be able to pull this one off. I wanna know what you think, though. Let me know. Drop a comment. Send me a message. Let me know what you think. Do you think he'll be able to do this? I think he will. I think we're getting close to it. Zelensky arrived in The US his third visit since January. He said Moscow was rushing to resume dialogue as soon as it heard about Tomahawks. Zelensky had called the on The US to provide the Ukraine with advanced missiles, which have a range of, 1,500 miles. Asked early this week if Trump was considering giving Ukraine Tomahawks, he said, we'll see. I may.
But when asked about the same prospect following the call with Putin, Trump said, well, we can't deplete The US stockpile of Tomahawks, adding we need them too, so I don't know what we can do about that. And then, the president went to True Social, his platform, and he shared this information. The meeting with president Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was very interesting and cordial, but I told him, as I likewise strongly suggested to president Putin, that it's time to stop the killing and make a deal. Enough blood has been shed with property lines being defined by war and guts. They should stop where they are. Let both claim victory. Let history decide no more shooting, no more death, No more vast and uns unsustainable sums of money spent. This is a war that would never have started if I were president.
Thousands of people being slaughtered each and every week. No more. Go home to your families in peace. You know, say what you will. I I truly believe that that's Donald Trump's heart. He just wants peace. And he and I agree with him. There's no reason for this conflict anymore. There had never was really a reason for it. The only reason why it started is because of weakness in the previous administration. It's also something we shouldn't be involved in. We really shouldn't. I I I am I, you know, I the more I think about these things, the more I'm I'm I'm inclined to to lean towards, you know, non intervention in in in this type of stuff. I mean, yeah. Peace and commerce with all, entangling alliances with none. So that's not completely non that's not that's not isolationist, but it's and it's not it's not but but it's non interventionist.
Okay? So and there's a difference between the two. This is a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. They need to figure it out. We shouldn't be involved in this. Financially, militarily, we should not be involved in this. I am hoping and I'm praying that there will be a settlement here, that there will be peace. No one wants to see conflict like this. No one wants to see bloodshed. No one wants to see this. It has to come to an end. And I think we're close to it. I do believe that Donald Trump is gonna get it done. I'm hoping he gets it done.
And I hope that this conversation he's gonna be having with, with Putin coming up in, in Budapest will, will play out. New American posts. There's Trump and Putin patch things up, plan Budapest meeting. US president Donald Trump US president Donald Trump. There we go. Trump and Putin passed things up, planned a Budapest meeting. US president Donald Trump and Russian president Vladimir Putin be appear to be back on good terms, at least for now. Trump announced Thursday afternoon that he had a very productive call with Russian head of state who congratulated him on the great accomplishment of peace in The Middle East. The Russian leader also passed on niceties to the first lady for involvement with children. Two leaders discussed potential business between The US and Russia After the war with Ukraine is over, according to Trump's version of the call, the Russians confirmed the call, which they announced as it was happening. Before hanging up, they agreed to a meeting of high level advisers next week to be followed up by an in person meeting in Budapest, Hungary, where they'll discuss ending the inglorious war between Russia and Ukraine. The president ended his Truth Social announcement on a high note. He said, I believe that progress was made with today's conversation.
So that's good news. It is. Michael Flynn, General Flynn posted this. He said, peace in our time by a POTUS who knows this is what we voted for. Thank you, Donald Trump. Wonder if I can pull that. Here we go. I have just concluded my telephone conversation with president Vladimir Putin of Russia. It was very productive. One, president Putin gradually made The United States on a great accomplishment of peace and not the least. Something that he said there we go. Something that he said he had, has been dreamed up for centuries. I actually believe that the success in The Middle East will help in our negotiation in attaining an end to the war with Russia and Ukraine. President Putin thanked the first lady, Melania, for her involvement with children. He was very appreciative and said that this will that this will continue.
We also spent a great deal of time talking about trade between Russia and The United States. When the war with Ukraine is over, at the conclusion of the call, we agreed that there would be a meeting at our heart at of our high level advisers next week. The United States' initial meetings will be led by secretary of state Marco Rubio together with various and various other people to be designated. A meeting location is to be determined. President Putin and I will meet in an agreed upon location. Budapest hungry to see if we can bring this inglorious war between Russia, Ukraine to an end. President Zelensky and I will be meeting tomorrow, that would be today, in the Oval Office where we will discuss my conversation with president Putin and much more. I believe great progress was made with today's telephone conversation.
So the peace president, Donald Trump, on track for number nine. I think it's gonna happen. I do. Let me know what you think. Comment down below. Send me an email. Comment through the website if you like. I'd like to know your thoughts on this. Alright. And, the last part of this that I want to tell you is, Donald Trump basically said that tomahawks are off the table. And, president Trump, this is just the news. President Donald Trump took The US supply of Tomahawk missiles, to Ukraine off the table ahead of a White House meeting with Ukrainian president Zelensky on Friday. That'll be today. Missiles are part of a lengthy news cycle regarding the prospects of their handover, which would have enabled or could have enabled Ukraine to escalate its strikes on infrastructure in the Russian territory. Public comments, Trump suggested the American supply was too limited to risk depleting Washington's own arsenal.
He said, quote, we need tomahawks for The US too. We have many, but we need well, we need them. We can't deplete. They are very vital. Zelensky's meeting moreover comes as Trump plans to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Hungary as a member of as, Vladimir Putin in Hungary, a member state of both NATO and the European Union. Hungarian president Viktor Orban enjoys strong relations with both Trump and Putin and has long irritated EU leaders over his willingness to pursue diplomacy out of step with Brussels. The refusal to to supply Ukraine with Tomahawks may come in the hopes of deescalating the conflict. At present, however, Russia is on the offensive and appears poised to capture the logistics hub the logistics hub cities of Gupansk and I I can't pronounce that.
Maybe somebody else can. Pokrovics. Sorry if I said it wrong. Sorry. Alright. Well, so Tomahawk's off the table. Trump plans to meet with Putin. Just met with Zelensky. How close do you think there is to a ceasefire? Let me know what you think. Alright. Drop a comment below. Email me at [email protected]. [email protected]. Or let's drop go to the website and use the contact form. But I'd like to know what you think about the whole thing. Alright? Okeydoke. Now, last thing I wanna bring up, and this actually I I saw right before right before the show, started, and I was like, oh, that looks good. I wanna show that. I wanna talk about it. Alright. So I I I don't know. You guys I I talk about this very infrequently on the show, and I I I would like to talk about it more, but I am I I am fascinated by disclosure. UFOs, UAPs, all that stuff. We did a couple of shows early on, with some people that were experts in the area or or at least informed enough in the area that we can have a conversation about it. So this stuff is great. It's always been, you know, something something I've been interested and fascinated with. I've I'm big fan of watching things like ancient aliens and whatnot. Oh, but you're a Christian. How could you believe that stuff? I didn't say that.
I look at the ancient alien stuff, and I look at all those things, and I and I can show you in the Bible where a lot of that stuff takes place. Okay? So, I don't necessarily agree that it's, you know, you know, misunderstood alien technology and things like that. I'm I'm I'm not, you know, the the jury's still out on that. Alright? Do I believe that there are interdimensional beings? Absolutely. Absolutely believe that. Well, how could you believe that if you're a Christian? Hello, demons, devils, they're interdimensional beings.
They can cross in and out. I don't think that's anti scriptural. I don't think that's heretical. I don't think that at all. So anything that pops up when it comes to like UFO stuff and and all that that that neat fun stuff, always catches my eye. And, I I I have a Telegram account, that people tell me I should do it do it for the show and all that stuff. I don't I don't use it that much. I don't use any social media really that much. So if you follow me on, like, x or fake book or, or or whatever else I'm on, getter truth social and all that stuff.
I I don't post a lot of stuff. I really don't, and I should. You know, it it it would be helpful, but I don't. I don't I don't have the time for it. That's the main thing. And, so I was I I I know I I was scrolling through one of the groups that I'm part of on Telegram, and I saw this report. And, this is this is from the WLT report, and, which interestingly they they follow me on on x. And I follow them too, but they follow me back, so it was interesting. But WLT report posted this on their Telegram channel, and, it was about let me see. It's time stamped eleven minutes prior to the show start. Alright. That's how close it was.
And, I thought that this was fascinating. Absolutely fascinating. Now let let's let let's lay the groundwork here. Alright. So we're talking about disclosure. Now what's disclosure? That's when, that's when they finally start to acknowledge the fact that there is something out there in the universe that we don't understand, whether it's aliens or interdimensional beings or whatever it might be. There are things out there that we don't understand. And, what I found really interesting was is that this clip has some very high level people in the current administration talking about this.
Alright? In this clip that I'm gonna show you, you have secretary of state Marco Rubio telling you point blank that UFOs have been observed flying over our military and nuclear facilities, and he's we don't know what they are, and they're not ours. Alright? You also have to understand you have to understand something here that, this is called disclosure, but it's really more like a soft disclosure because someone like the secretary of state of The United States does not go on camera and say these things without getting clearance, without getting permission, without, instructions from people higher.
So the fact that he's actually saying this on camera in a in a video tells you that the government wants this information to be out there. Now just think about that. Alright. Now here is here is Senator Rubio. I'm sorry. Secretary of State Rubio, talking about this in this, this is a, like, a, like a trailer or a promotional for this, this thing coming out very shortly.
[01:59:30] Unknown:
Of something operating in the airspace over restricted nuclear facilities,
[01:59:35] Unknown:
and it's not ours. These are otherworldly things that are performing maneuvers that have haven't been seen. I have seen with my own eyes nonhuman craft and nonhuman beings.
[01:59:53] Unknown:
This is so secret. There have been very few people in our entire government that have been allowed or provided access to it.
[02:00:01] Unknown:
Even presidents have been operating on a need to know basis, but that begins to ramp out of control.
[02:00:08] Unknown:
It's not acceptable to have secret parts of government that no one ever sees.
[02:00:13] Unknown:
People have been hurt protecting and hiding this information. Some people claim it would cost them their lives, and they spoke out about these things.
[02:00:21] Unknown:
You had information being locked away that could change the trajectory for species.
[02:00:41] Unknown:
This is the biggest discovery in human history.
[02:00:56] Unknown:
Wow. Wow. Right? Interesting. Very, very interesting. Now, again, like I said, you know, he's not gonna go on camera and and and say this stuff because it would it it without getting permission, without getting clearance, without getting instructions from somebody above him. Okay? So read into that whatever you want. But, the fact that he is is very interesting because what it does, it it it reveals a vulnerability. And I don't think they would reveal an a vulnerability like this unless there was a bigger plan and ulterior motive. Okay? The United States and any other country would not just come out and admit that there are things flying over our airspace that are not ours and that and and we don't know what they are, and we can't stop it.
They no government would ever admit it admit to that unless there was something much bigger going on. And just to remind you, here's Marco Rubio back in 2014 talking about this.
[02:02:10] Unknown:
You're in the foreign affairs committee and you're really involved in foreign affairs. There've been a lot of articles lately about UFOs. I know this is this question is a little out there. Is there any truth to any of this?
[02:02:22] Unknown:
Well, we don't know. All I've said is we have people that have very high clearances both today and in the past who did really important work for our government or continue to do important work for the government, who have come forward with some claims about The US having in the past recovered exotic materials, and then we reverse engineered those materials to make advances in our own defenses and technologies. That's the claim they make. Now I don't know if those claims are true or not. What I do know is that one of two things is happening here. Either we either they're telling the truth, and that is something that obviously would be, the the biggest story in human history, or we have people in really important positions of government who are crazy and who are out there making up stories and who are still in positions of importance. Either one is a big problem. So we've got to figure out which one of these two it is because, the second one in particular would be very troubling. But we don't all we know is claims that people have made. These are credible people that have done and continue to do important work for the country. And and and by law, we're we're required when they come forward as whistleblowers to take their claims seriously and and to investigate them. But, we just don't know. That's the answer.
[02:03:26] Unknown:
Alright. So what do you think? What do you think? I think this is incredibly fascinating, and there's more to this that we could cover, but we're out of time. So, we're gonna we're gonna start to wrap up at this point, but, we're gonna come back to this at some point, and we're gonna talk about this some more in some detail, because, you know, like I said, you know, I watched those ancient alien stuff, and I watched this alien, and I'm telling you I'm telling you, you can point to all this stuff in your Bible. You could find it. Your Bible is a spiritual supernatural book.
It is, and I've said that many, many times. Your Bible was not written by man. Man was used to write the Bible, but the author of the Bible was God himself. So this book is a supernatural book. It's super and you gotta read it. You gotta understand it. There's a lot of things in there that if you really look at it and read it and you apply it and you see it compare it to what's going on in the world today, holy cow, you're gonna be amazed. I've said it before in other shows. I'm not gonna dwell on it for too long right now because like I said, we're up against the clock. So your Bible is an incredible textbook.
It is a political textbook. It is a science textbook. It is a supernatural book. Read it, and you'll see these things, and you'll understand what is coming. Alright? So promise just trust me on that one and do it. Alright? Alright. I think that's gonna do it for tonight, and, we're gonna get ready to wrap up here.
