Political leaders often use symbolic actions (virtue signaling) to appeal to voters, even when those actions are legally or practically impossible to implement. In New York City politics, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's proposal to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the UN serves as a prime example of this phenomenon. Despite the legal impossibility of such an action (due to diplomatic immunity, federal preemption, and jurisdictional limits), the proposal effectively signals Mamdani's progressive values and resonates with voters who prioritize economic concerns like housing affordability over foreign policy issues. This demonstrates how political success often depends on addressing voter priorities and using symbolic gestures rather than purely logical or legal considerations.
Gov Shack No. 80: Is Mamdani Mayor of New York or the World? LIVE Talk & Fundraiser
Added:[music] [music] The little shack is a LITTLE OLD PLACE WHERE WE CAN GET TOGETHER, [music] BABY.
I got baby.
[music] [music] Shack baby. [music] >> Oh, welcome. Welcome to the Gov Shack.
So happy to have you with me. We're at 7:00 p.m. on the East Coast. And this week I was thinking, what I mean, so often New York gives me things to talk about. So often New York gives me uh things to rant about or be upset. This time, this time I said, let me bring up something that is, I think, getting people very excited on the national level and the New York City level and covers many things that I've been talking about before. And that is the idea is that will Zora Mamdani, mayor of New York, will he make an attempt or actually arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if Hold on here. Um, hold on. I got to make a a quick change here. Hold on.
>> There we go. All right. There we go.
Will will he actually uh make an attempt to or actually do it to where he will arrest Benjamin Netanyahu?
um when he comes to New York City for the UN. Now, some of you might go, "Well, Larry, can he do that? Will he do that?"
Not really the issue. And that's the part that again, some people aren't getting. Not really the issue. And what I mean by that, let me let me show you what he did uh in an interview, things he talks about. I did an interview with the New York Times. Another again, those of you who like or don't like Mam Donnie.
You have to see this guy is he's teaching you how to win. He is teaching us how to do stuff if you want to win.
And he is embarrassing New York State Republicans. He is just embarrassing them. And they won't change. I'll show you that in a minute, too. They just will not learn from what he's doing, and they just keep getting embarrassed and fooling themselves and lying to people about what's actually happening.
>> Talking a few weeks after some pretty big political victories for you, uh you went out on a limb and endorsed several Democratic Socialist candidates who then won their primaries.
>> And after they won, >> now that piece I I bring up, why?
Because not only did he say I'm powerful with myself, he showed something that Obama couldn't do. Yes, Obama. And they love Obama. You know, they're going to love Obama. But Obama had pretty crappy coattails, right? So when Obama endorsed people, did they win sometimes, sometimes not, right?
But when it came to Republican um uh primaries, well, all of a sudden Trump is showing he got some juice.
Well, here comes M Donnie saying in Democratic primaries, I got juice, too.
Obama didn't have that. Obama, get me wrong, very charismatic. You know that Democrats to love Obama, but mom Donnie showing, yeah, it's not just me. I got coattails. Brilliant. You said you wanted to send a national message and that it sounded like you want to clearly be heard beyond New York City. Why?
>> You know, we are in some ways distinct here in New York City. We are the wealthiest city in the wealthiest country in the history of the world.
>> Nice.
>> And I also know that the struggles of working people here in this city, a city where one in four are living in poverty, are not unique. Now the glorious part about this and this is how well he does it. He then says struggling in poverty.
He's not wrong. This is an accurate statement. What he doesn't say is cuz Democrats been running my state for 24 years. Yes. For the for because for the last generation Democrats Democrats or more have been destroying my state. So yes, that's true. But he won't say that.
So the assumption then becomes oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh.
The assumption becomes what's happening now is because of Republicans.
See, that's the assumption. It's because of Republicans. He didn't say that, but that's the assumption.
>> I know that working people across this country are facing those same struggles.
And for too long it has felt like our party, the Democratic party, that the only answer we have is to say that we are not the Republican party.
>> Literally what Republicans doing now he is teaching Republicans, Republicans right now, what Democrats have been saying for years is not Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump, right? Trump orange man bad. Trump is terrible. Trump's fascist, whatever. They've been saying that for years. Meanwhile, screwing the state over. He's right. This is accurate. So what are Republicans doing now? M is a communist.
They've learned nothing.
>> The only answer we have is a response to the cruelty of the federal administration, but we also have to have a vision of what comes after this administration.
>> Okay, this was the this is the greatest part. Again, very savvy. He goes, "All we have is the federal administration."
As if Biden didn't exist.
Biden didn't exist. Did you see what he just did? And what happens after this administration? Harris tried the same thing. Remember these last 10 years of division.
She was vice president.
But this works. And I know a lot of you Republicans listen. But Larry, it's not true. It doesn't m I say this all the time. It doesn't matter if it's true. It matters if it works. And this shit works. I'm going to show you how in a minute.
>> And I think that at the heart of that has to be a vision for that working person. That's why I think it is so critical to speak about that not just here in New York City but frankly anywhere where those people are struggling.
>> Um you are at this point one of the most visible people that you're the person to impart that >> I think that message frankly is coming from >> again this is the greatest part again he's he's savvy. She goes, "And you think you're the cool guy? You're the top dog." And he's like, "No, it's the people." Like just nicely done. I >> New Yorkers New Yorkers >> and we should listen to them when they vote.
>> Listen to them. It's not about >> Dar Alisa, for Claire, for Brad when they vote for all five state legislative candidates that I endorse that won their races. He says, "I endorse."
>> So much of what has often been discussed as if it is an intellectual debate is in fact something that can change the material reality of working New Yorkers.
>> And I think that's what's been >> So now I'm going to move over to Alexandria Cross. She brings this her up to next >> to see what they do next.
>> After those endorsements, you said 2028 um begins now. I mean, what role would you like to play in 2028?
>> I think to continue to be honest about the struggles that New Yorkers are >> He's a kingmaker now.
of course >> and the importance of a vision that responds to them and >> you know sometimes politics feels like it's a hobby only some can afford >> see cuz he can't >> I don't want it to be that way >> politics determines what people can afford >> it does >> and we need to see a recognition of that >> and an actual platform of how we will deliver that affordability >> we in fact have to be able to say what are you going to do about housing What are you going to do about childare? What are you going to do about that?
>> He loves you.
>> I think what's so exciting is that cities have often been discussed as laboratories of democracy that we can actually show that >> these are laboratories.
>> This isn't a fantasy. I think there's cheers going on. I'm not sure what's happened.
>> These [laughter] are laboratories. We'll find out. I think Spain probably won.
>> My goodness.
>> Um, [laughter] >> who are you rooting for?
>> I was thankfully a little unengaged in today's game. A lot of the teams are they lose. [laughter] >> Yeah. But now is the time for favorites.
>> I I want to stay on this just a little bit longer because one of the people who is rumored to be considering a run for president is obviously Alexandria Casiocortez. And there's >> now how do you think he'll deal with this one right now? A lot of you think AOC is done for. I've been telling you she's not done for. She's not. You can think she is. You are fooling yourself.
Why? Because right now Mdani still cannot cross over. He cannot cross over to the mainstream Democrat. The mainstream Democrats still fears him.
The mainstream Democrats still are worried. And all the established corporate Democrats still can't stand him, right? He cannot cross over. Who can cross over? AOC.
She has enough of her foot in the DSA.
They don't trust her totally, but she's not alien to them. And she has enough of her foot in the in the corporate Democrats. She's not exactly one of them, but they don't fear her either.
She's the crossover candidate. Now, I don't think she'll run for president. I think she'll run for for Senate and win, but the point is, do you think he'll jump on a ship?
>> Been reporting that you coordinated with AOC in your New York endorsements. Do you consider that to be a partnership?
>> Absolutely. Didn't think twice. Yep.
Absolutely. Yep. Me and AOC like that.
Of course he says that. She's the one who's going to broker shit. She's gonna broker this shit with with the corporate Democrats for him. She will broker that for him. Yes. Because they don't want to be seen next to him. So, she'll broker it. That's how that's gonna work.
>> I consider it to be a partnership. And I also consider her to be an inspiration.
>> I had the privilege of having been represented by her in Congress before I was the mayor. I was an assembly member.
>> He was my assembly member and she was and still is my congressman. I feel the same warmth of collectivism as you all do. [snorts] so warm >> in an overlapping part of her congressional district in Atoria and >> Long Island where I live >> and I think she has shown what it looks like to fight for working people.
>> Do you consider it an alliance sort of going forward that she would endorse >> he'll say yes >> you know Abdul Alad and you know Michigan and elsewhere and and you endorse here in [laughter] New York. I think that she she makes her own decisions and I think that they're they're decisions that many of us look to and are inspired by >> and they're inspired by her. I wanted you to see how savvy this guy is. Some of you don't think he's savvy. You listen some of you listen to like Fox News and he cares. He's horrible. He's likable. They're eating his shit up.
They're eating from the palm of his hands as he does this.
Phil, thank you for gift membership. My friend Andrea, too. Thank you. And become a member. And Robin a member.
Thank you guys. Thank you so much for the help. I do appreciate tremendously.
Every bit does count. I appreciate. Let me grab a couple comments before I keep moving. There are tons of them here.
Mike Vos in the house. Manny knows he's the power nor standing to arrest any world leader. It's the right of the federal executive branch alone. And mom, I think that means can only screw up geopolitics. Well, let me let me cover that piece if I can. He does cover that here. Um, if I can do that one.
Um, he talks a lot about Gaza and stuff and he does and and here's what I'm impressed by. The dude does not back down at all. At all. This is And some of you will be mad at this, but it's Trumpian.
Triple down. Double down. Triple down.
All in.
uh you pledged during your campaign and after you won um to order his arrest to comply with the international criminal court.
>> What will happen if he comes in?
>> Now Mike, you'll be mad how he answers this, >> right? Because he does a wonderful answer for his people. Because what you're saying is of course you're right at what he's saying, but he's not going to say that.
>> I believe that Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the H. He's a war criminal who has been charged by the international >> He says it straight.
>> I just says it. Yep. Done. War colonel.
That's it. Just says it.
>> Criminal court. And what you will find is that is an opinion that is held by many purely because of what his actions have wrought over these last many years. I've also said that I will follow the laws that we have here in New York City. I will follow the laws that we have here in New York City.
Mike, does that mean he'll arrest him?
See, you know, it means he's not. But most New Yorkers listening, they go, "Damn, he might arrest him." It's brilliant. It keeps it open. And he says that he wants to. So, he virtue signals perfectly.
This is the perfect virtue signal answer without saying, "I ain't got no power," which he has no power. Mike is correct.
He can't do it. I'll and I'll show you that there's details on why he can't, but that isn't the point. He does he does it perfectly. This is the perfect answer. In virtue signals exactly how he wants >> because I believe that there's an importance in following the law as a leader who presides over our city. And that's something that I plan to do.
>> Meaning, I'm sorry, I don't understand what that means.
>> Meaning that whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that's what we will do. But we won't be writing our own laws to that end.
>> What does the law allow you to do?
>> So, she's trying to push him by getting give this woman some credit, Mike. She is trying to nudge him. New York Times.
So I mean you get what you get. But she is trying to nudge him because he's not answering because he has his answer is the perfect road answer.
>> That's an active conversation with our legal department.
>> Active conversation department.
>> What the prospects are we have here in our municipality. However, what we've seen at the national level is a desire sometimes to write your own laws to go outside the bounds of legality. That's not something we have an interest.
>> Well done. I mean, normally when >> I love that that if you're a Democrat in New York City, that's literally the perfect answer.
Yeah. See, we're going to do what we can do. Not like orange man bad. Just mom Donnie or your team, whoever you have.
Well done. There is The Republicans in my state have no one even close to this skill set.
They would have me if they' have picked me, but they didn't pick me. They they picked fucking loser Nepo baby Blakeman who I'll show you a clip of him. It's an embarrassment. They picked him to fight this guy with his machine and his charisma. And you wonder why Democrats keep winning in New York state? Cuz Republicans in my state are >> people come um to a UN General Assembly, they're granted a sort of amnesty because it is the seat.
>> I'll pass this part, but I wanted you to see that. That's what he actually said.
It's not being made up. He did actually say those words. Michael's going to say further. This is another expression of anti-semitism with Mam Dani. It matched with his attempt to meet with Iran in New York City who also have charged from the ICC.
Now, there's a piece you bring up, right? Someone does bring this up and I'll cover that too of why don't you arrest other people Mike because it doesn't virtue signal. Well, see, there you go with your logic. It doesn't matter. No one cares about that.
They care about evil Netanyahu and can I do that? Perfect answer.
And you might say anti-semitism, but the the polls show and I'm going to show you from Fox News. New Yorkers aren't seeing that. New Yorkers are seeing a difference in anti-ionism versus anti-semitism. That's actually happening. Jews are voting for him and backing him because they're more concerned about whether they can pay their rent or not. This is what you will hear me say for the next X months, whatever it is, until November.
People care that they can't pay their electric bill, that they can't pay their rent, that they can't find a job, they can't find a girlfriend or boyfriend.
They don't give a crap about Netanyahu whether he arrests him or not. They like the virtue signaling. They like what he's doing. And that's it. That's it. In Amdan's virtue signaling to New Yorkers, Democrats in general, and it's working.
Republicans still hate him and aren't going to vote for him. He doesn't care.
He doesn't care. Republicans are one in seven in New York City. He does not care what Republicans think in New York City.
He doesn't care what you think, Mike. I know I know you don't love him either, but he don't love you either. He don't care what you think. You can think whatever you want. He doesn't care. You ain't voting for him and he doesn't care if you do. He's going to win seven next.
He doesn't care what you think. So, he's signaling not to Republicans. He's just signaling to Democrats in general and the polls show it. It is working. It's absolutely working. Now, right, let me show you how Mike is right. I'm going to validate Mike. He's totally correct in what he says. This is CNN explaining explaining um exactly why it it can't be done. But it but if virtually signals well, but it can't be done. This he's if if I'm mom Donnie, I'm obviously not. If I'm Mom Donnie, I would find a way if I could to arrest him. I would. What a spectacle. What a You know how much money he would raise.
And you know, he drive Republicans in the state into a into a in a feeding frenzy. They'd eat themselves if he could find a way. I It's Mike is correct. It's utterly illegal. But if he could find some way of arresting Netanyahu or detaining him or I again I have no idea how but if he could do it I would absolutely do if I was him. 100% I would absolutely I would I if I could find a way I would do it. The amount the he would raise millions of dollars just millions would pour in and Republicans would eat themselves alive in my state.
It'd be a perfect thing to do if he could do it.
>> Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrested. He says he's looking into it.
The Israeli leader is expected to attend the >> I do believe he's looking into it. I do believe that he's trying to find a way, but you're going to see there just is no way.
>> UN General Assembly in New York in September. Speaking on the New York Times the interview podcast, Mayor Mani said he's having quote active conversations. He is what the law allows you to do.
you're actively looking to see if you can actually arrest him.
>> I think we are looking at all of our legal obligations and one of them is with regards to the United Nations. But the other part of this is is we're we're not talking about a personal assessment of Benjamin Netanyahu. We're talking about the International Criminal Court and the fact that they have a warrant out for this prime minister's arrest.
>> Right. With us now, CNN legal analytics.
What does the law actually say here?
What does it allow? Yeah, Chris says it.
Mom Donnie words himself very carefully and means what he says. Like him or not, I believe him to be genuine. Yes, he's a true believer. Thi this this what you just said, Christopher, is one of our biggest problems that we have in our nation is that we are so jaded by BS politicians that we like anyone who tell the truth.
Like, we don't care what they say. It's just it's not lying. It's It's the truth. We just like him. I like him.
WHY? CUZ HE DOESN'T LIE to me. That's how bad things are. Christopher, you're correct. I wish you were wrong. But you're right. Oh, some of the truth.
Yeah, he said he wants to kill me. But was he honest? Yeah. Damn. I like that guy, but he said he wants to kill you. I know, but I think he really wants to kill me. Like, I like him now cuz at least he doesn't give me BS. I can believe >> nothing to do. So, corporation council, they advise the mayor. They have got some great attorneys over there. But I think when they look at the law, they will advise the mayor that he does not have the legal ability to enforce this active warrant. That would >> now this guy again, this is CNN and this guy's going he can't do it. This is this is proven Mike's point >> is issued by the International Criminal Court, right? We know this we have this court. This court's been around for about 24 years or so. They certainly prosecute war crimes u which is their legal right and obligation. But the New York City mayor has no authority and in fact it's illegal for him to do so.
>> Who does have authority?
>> So you have member states and you have non-member states, right? And these >> now he brings another piece which is US isn't even a member state.
>> So that's even a question mark.
>> Member states who are actively involved uh they certainly have the authority to do so. Europe is involved. They they could certainly do it. So what he's saying is if Netanyahu were to go to a European state that's following the international court, then that European federal state, right, their law enforcement could arrest Netanyahu legally. That's what he's trying to say.
America doesn't even first of New York City can't do it because it's a city and the country in theory could if they were a member of this court, any part of the court. So even if Trump wants to arrest him, he really has no ability to arrest countries in Latin America and Africa as well. Uh, United Kingdom is a member state here. The United States is not a member state. That's the key.
>> Yes, it is.
>> And even if the United States were a member state, would it be up to a city jurisdiction or would it be more likely a federal case?
>> So, it would it would be federal, but it would be a little bit more >> correct. So, if America they're not if America was part of this, then the FBI in theory could arrest him. I think probably for homeland security I would assume I would assume any federal law enforcement as directed by the president or probably the AG could probably also direct them. So probably attorney general I I'm sure Congress could if Congress went to to pass an edict. I'm sure Congress could if they wanted to say, "Hey, FBI arrest him if they wanted to." Assuming again that we were part of this thing and assuming that Congress want to do so, or the AG or the president, those groups could direct federal law enforcement to arrest Netanyahu in theory. But again, not a city guy. The mayor can't do that.
Again, unless for some reason the federal government were to in some way deputize local people in some way, then yes, in theory through an executive order, could Trump go, "Hey, I don't have enough FBI people." I mean, I can't even imagine. I'm making I'm pulling this toy out of my ass. But could he though say, "Hey, I'm Trump. I don't have enough FBI people in New York City.
I authorize NYPD to act in the place of FBI to obtain Netanyahu and give him over the FBI." I mean, in theory, you could do that, but this is all theoretical garbage. None of this is going to happen now.
>> Complicated. So, here's the reality, right? There are multiple barriers that would prevent a local official from doing it. The first thing to your question is there's a something called the preeemption doctrine. What is that?
That means that the federal government has these laws, some of which preempt local law. In this particular uh circumstance, the federal law would be controlling. And as a result of that, the federal law says not only can you not do it, John, but it's illegal to enforce a mandate of the international community, international criminal court.
In addition to that, you have something called diplomatic immunity, which is absolute based upon the diplomatic immunity.
>> So Trump would have to or the Congress would have to literally for whatever reason revoke that diplomatic immunity.
So it would take an act of the president or an act of Congress to revoke that immunity and then say now that he's no longer immune, we've revoked it. Now federal law enforcement, whichever when they decide probably could be Secret Service, I would assume if they again authorized by the president or Congress, go get him. So then you could do it.
That's the only way.
>> You certainly cannot touch Netanyahu when he came here. So it would be illegal for the mayor to do that.
>> So that that pretty much sums it up. I mean, you know, and so his legal advice is going to tell him, A, this is actually a non-issue. B, you can't do this. There's no scenario then roughly where New York City police go and take him into custody.
>> There is no scenario. And in fact, John, you could be prosecuted for doing that.
The law >> Thank you. So, I wanted to see you that this is CNN saying it ain't going to happen. Right. Again, the only way is if I walk down that insane road of Trump or Congress decides to revoke his immunity, then they would authorize they would authorize a local group, New York City cops or whatever, the Manhattan sheriff, whatever, right, to do it because they don't have enough bodies somehow to do it themselves. I mean, um, the answer is no. I mean, the the answer is no. So, I just want you to see that. That's CNN saying it, right? But let me show you something. I think it's important here.
This is how Fox News sees it. This is Fox News, right? This is Fox News talking about it and how they see it.
And there's someone who I full disclosure, I know this person. She's a friend of mine. He's been on my show, but she talks about it in a way that I think really shows something.
>> That Prime Minister Netanyahu belongs in the H. He's a war criminal. Whatever the law allows me to do in New York City, that's what we will do. But we won't be writing our own laws. To that end, that's an active conversation with our legal department in seeing what the prospects are we have here in our municipality.
>> Again, brilliant answer, right? Exactly the right thing they should be saying.
So, yes. All righty. Um, let's see here.
Michael Long says, "Democrats are going to win the winter terms. Trump's going to get impeached and thrown out thrown out on his behind by the Senate and the GOP is not going to win. The White House throw in 28." Um, I hear the first part of what you said.
I do think that the Democrats going to beat the beat uh the Republicans in the midterms. I think that's true. I don't think Trump will be impeached. Um, the only way there would have to be again I'm pull out on my ass. There have to be massive change in the in the Republican party. Like I don't know how I I can't I still think Trump's going to not be president next year. I think at one point JD Mask was president. I still stand by that. But it won't be because he's impeached. What Democrats will be able to do is harass him like there's no tomorrow. And again, the harassment's good for them. If Democrats put a bunch of Republicans in in hearings, they'll put, you know, whatever. They'll put Rubio in a hearing and they'll put JD Vance in a hearing and Trump in a hearing and whatever, everybody they can possibly put in hearings so they can get all their commercials and raise their money and it will work because it always does. Democrats will throw money at them because to your point, you think he's gonna he's gonna impeach. A lot of Democrats are going to believe he's going to be impeached. He's not gonna, but they're going to say that.
Democratic leadership will tell their voters, "We're going to impeach Trump."
They're going to believe it because they want to. And of course, how to do it? If you give me a bunch of money, then I'll do it. So, they're going to raise tons of money. Democrat leadership is going to a lot of Democrat voters and tell them that they're going to impeach Trump. They're not going to, but they'll say if you give me, you know, support us with $20 today so we can impeach Trump, they're going to those emails will go out, texts go out, and Democrats will throw money at them. They will raise so much money off of this and Trump will will will walk away in some way, shape, or form mentally, physically, medically, something. So, yeah, that's what I think. Yes. goes on to say, "And deporting millions of innocent men, women, and children through homeland security, and three people got killed by I that I stuff's hurting. That ICE I told you was going to hurt. I warned all of you two years ago when Trump was running on this deport deporting everybody.
I told you that he should close the border and then start finding an answer.
Not close the border and start throwing people up because you can't. It's impossible." When I say can't, I said it two years ago and I was right two years ago and I'm right now I'm on record. I said you physically cannot do it. We don't have the bodies, the money. We don't physically have the trucks or the planes. You cannot physically America, United States of America, federal government cannot physically deport 20 million people. It's impossible. It cannot be done. I expressed it two years ago. People ignored me. We want to get them all out. And what are you doing?
You're hiring everybody off the street.
People with medical issues, people with mental issues, and now you got dead Americans, too, along with dead pe with dead immigrants. You got dead people on the streets now. It's what I said was going to happen two years ago. And I was right yet again. God damn it. I'm tired of being right. But I was right yet again. It was a ter close Close the border. That was good. People loved it.
It was his most popular thing Trump did.
close the border and now find an answer for these people or just get the bad guys, which is what everybody wanted.
Now, Republicans, many Republicans wanted all 20 million out. Many did.
Trump said so. That was a fantasy. It was never going to happen. But almost all Americans want the bad guys out.
Democrats, too. Democrats are happy the borders closed, too. Like, they'll act like they hate Trump, right? Because they got to hate Trump. But they're happy the borders closed. They're happy.
They want the border closed, too. Most Americans wanted the border closed. Well done. Everyone's clapping hands for him.
But now this ICE stuff, dumb idea. He pushed it too far as I said he would. He shouldn't have. It was a bad idea and it's coming back to bite him. And I know Republicans go, "Oh, ICE this. ICE is unpopular.
It's not working. It's failing. It was a bad idea to do this. Just a bad idea."
So anyway, let me keep going down here.
>> Wow. As you just heard there, socialists mayor Manni pushing to arrest the leader of America's closest Middle East ally, Benjamin Netanyahu, if he attends the UNGA here in September. Netanyahu is the only one on Mamani's radar despite other leaders flagged for major human rights violations. We're talking about things like executing dissident, banning.
>> This is the point. There's lots of people that he could arrest. Now, I'm I'm sorry. lot he should be sorry if he if he cared if he actually cared about the international courts and stuff there are lots of people that he should be arresting but those don't virtue signal well the one that does Nanyahu that's the one that does >> free speech just to name a few and they visit the UN every year with no threats of being arrested are >> Michael says the community can be dismantled of course not really I mean it depends You really would need an act of Congress or the president has to go, okay, we are deciding, you know, no for him for whatever reason. Could it be done physically? Yes. Realistically, no way. No way. But is there an answer?
Yes, there is. But that's not it.
>> Next guest met Prime Minister Netanyahu here in New York City during last year's UNGA. Pro-Israel activist Emily Austin joins us now. Emily, it's great to see you. Emily is a is is 100% pro-Israel all on board. Now, I know Emily personally, he's been on my show, a friend of mine, always been good to me.
So, just so you know that, >> um, as we just heard there with Mayor Mom Donnie, is he bluffing?
>> He's bluffing. And what's frustrating is that he even knows that he's bluffing.
He's like, "This is a conversation for the legal counsel. We know that the mayor alone has no authority whatsoever to >> She's saying it, too. It isn't just me.
Emily's a smart, savvy woman and she said it, too. She's like, "Yep, he's bluffing. He knows he's bluffing." But it's working. And she will cover that, too. She will actually admit that Republicans dropping a ball here >> to arrest a foreign leader. But that's the problem. Mayor [clears throat] Maldani's constituents don't know that.
They believe everything that comes out of his mouth. And he's been undermining the federal government >> during his campaign, every single minute he's been in office.
>> No lies detected. She's correct. But the most important thing she said was what I keep telling some of you Republicans who watch this show. His people believe him.
>> But it's wrong. Doesn't matter. That's the point I keep telling you. Doesn't matter.
>> Whether it's trying to meet Iranian diplomats behind the government's back and it's just very clear what he's doing. He's just trying to undermine the authority of the government and he's doing a really good job at it. You know, >> did you hear that?
out of her mouth, not mine. He's doing a really good job of it.
This is Fox News admitting that he's doing a good job.
I've never said Mom Dun is a good mayor.
What have I said? He's a damn good politician.
So, how you gonna fight him? Bruce Bman, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
You have Obama Jr. you here and your answer is Mitt Romney Jr.
Curtis Lewa, a wellknown Republican in New York City, got 7% of the vote.
This guy's slaughtering everyone. And you'll hear Republicans say, you will hear them say, "Oh, the New Yorkers don't want a communist. New Yorkers don't like blah blah blah." Bullshit.
They love him. You can see it. Emily hates him. She will say it. She hates him and [clears throat] she still cuz she's savvy enough to go, I hate this dude, but damn, he's good at what he does cuz he is. Republicans in New York State, pull your heads out of your asses. You need someone who can fight this guy. It ain't who you got.
>> One thing I found very interesting is there was this recent AP poll and I found some of the results shocking >> that you had more American Jews viewed mom Donnie favorably than >> Did you hear that, Mike?
More American Jews view mom Donnie favorably and you will hear every Republican Jew say, "No, they hate them antis." No, you're living in a fucking fantasy world.
You heard Batia when I was on her show.
No, you don't understand, Larry. I know the polls. I KNOW THE POLLS. I KNOW WHO MY mayor is. I know what Fox News is saying. I listen. I'm gonna show you the left, too. your left side mad at him.
Yeah, I'm not joking. You would not bl Yes, they're a little bit mad. He don't go left enough for them, but I'll cover that in a second. Yeah, this is real.
This is Fox News saying he's doing a good job >> and unfavorably and then also viewed Prime Minister or viewed Manni more favorably than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Why do you think that is?
>> Yes. Yeah, Mike says it. Mana is a lying social anti- and what and why does that matter?
Why does that matter?
You might as well say he wears he has a beard and came from Uganda. And why does that matter? M and he's married and has no kids. Same. Doesn't mean anything.
It's irrelevant. Not saying you're wrong. He doesn't have a beard. He was born in Uganda. And who cares? This is just insults that don't matter. There's This is exactly the same as when Trump was running and Democrats went, "But he's a fascist. No one cared. Trump's president twice. He cheated on his wife.
No one cares." President twice. He has sexual porn star. So what? President Twice. Nobody cares. He's not a real Christian. Nobody cares. President Twice, same thing. Mike, you've become the Democrats in 2016. These insults don't work. They didn't work on Trump.
They don't They don't work on leftist Trump.
Orange Trump, brown Trump, they don't work. It doesn't matter. It doesn't work. It is useless.
I've been telling you what works. And no one listens to me. Sadly, you should be listening to me. Yes.
>> Did you also find that alarming? First of all, I'm going to look directly to the camera when I apologize on behalf of all Jews. That is the most embarrassing statistic I've ever heard in my life. I totally >> But here what she says. She knows it's true.
She's embarrassed. She didn't say it's not true. You will hear Republicans say that's not true. The Jews hate him. No.
No. The middle class hates him. No. They love him. She's I brought her up because she is a Fox News. I know her personally. She is 100% pro- Israel.
100% pro-Jewish. Openly. She would say it. If she was listening to me right now, she'd not be mad. She'd be like, "Yep, that's true. I am." She agrees with that. That's who she is. She selfidentifies that way. And she says, "No, no, it's true. That's why she's apologizing." Republicans who are listening to me speak right now. Stop fooling yourself. Pull yourselves your heads out of your asses and find someone who can fight. It's not the guys you got now. Not in my state. can understand criticism of the Israeli government, but to support a man whose wife liked posts of people being raped, murdered, and kidnapped on October 7th, and he refuses to even remotely condemn anything that she did. He undermines the Jewish community in Manhattan and the five burrows.
>> A bunch of insults that mean nothing.
>> He constantly threatens our security.
>> I mean, she's not wrong, saying, but but again, doesn't matter. Say he has a beard and he's kind of brown. So >> by radicalizing extremists because he supports them and he undermines our security here in New York.
>> Remember Trump? Trump Trump supports white supremacy and he's a fascist. Same thing.
Same thing.
>> So I don't know how any single Jew could possibly view him in a slightly favorable manner.
>> Yeah. I mean I I found that just completely shocking. But what do you think's behind it? I mean what are you hearing from empathy? Yeah.
>> Suicidal empathy.
What? Cope. Emily, you were doing great till that one. That's not true. That's not true. I have been telling you what it is.
If people can't pay their rent, if they don't have enough money for the car insurance, if they can't find a boyfriend or a girlfriend, if they're 30 or 40 years old and they can't find a they can't buy a house, they don't care about Israel or Netanyahu or Iran or whatever. They don't care. Doesn't matter if it's true. You can give me every reason. Oh, this matters. BLAH BLAH BLAH. MY RENT'S due next week. I don't give a shit. I know I keep saying it, but people keep not understanding it. That's what matters. If Netanyahu is arrested and put in jail and shot in the Hague, I still can't pay my rent next month. If you comes here, becomes a hero, gets a parade, and they throw rose petals at his feet. I still can't pay my rent next week.
I still might get evicted. I don't care.
We're bombing Iran. I don't I I can't buy I gotta get my car away. I'M GETTING MY CAR repo because I can't pay any insurance. I don't care every bomb in Iran or not. Doesn't matter to me. What do I care? The Iranian war is the least popular war since we've been polling wars. Least.
The least popular war. Why? Cuz I can't pay my rent. That's why.
What is Mom Donnie doing so well talking about those issues?
I can't get any more. I'm going to show you in a minute how bad this is. And she just screwed up instead. Well, she should have said, Emily, your friend, I hope you happen to be watching. I know someone's watching my hope you're watching. The answer should have been Republicans have been screwing up in this state and not talking about core issues that are important to America.
And he is. That's the real reason why so many Jews like M Donnie. That's the reason because he is talking about those issues. And Trump is just saying the America's back. It's great. It's not great when I can't pay my fucking rent, man. You can talk that trash all you want. It doesn't work.
That's what she should have said. She was good until then. She then said, "Oh, it's cuz that then it would have made sense." All right. So, I I popped that.
Let me grab a couple more things if I can. Christopher says, "Ac is much in the media. So much in the media. She's a magnet for Gen Z." True. People still like AOC. They still do. She's still popular. They still like her. She's lost some of that shine she has, but overall they do still like her. That's true.
Mike says a for president because of ego and her bubble makes her think she's popular. I don't think so, brother. I think you're wrong on this one. I think she's going for Senate. I think she every time she puts her toe into like something presidential, she doesn't look good. She looks bad and she feels it.
And her remember she has a team behind her. If if her team is anywhere as good as mom Donny's and I assumed has a team that's good. I don't know if I assume it's not he's that bright. That's my assumption. I don't know but it's my assumption. I know that Hokll is not bright. So her team's amazing. They will tell her don't go Senate. You'll win Senate which she will then go for president afterwards. I think that's what she'll do. Maybe I'm wrong but I'm just writing these things. I think she's going to go for Senate first. I You're not wrong on that. She wants to. I don't think she will. So, yes. All righty. Um, let me walk down. I didn't grab a couple of those two. Terry says, "Mom, Donnie is a smooth talking con artist." Yes.
You're not wrong.
You're not wrong. Yep. Runner says, "Socialism equals your money being forcely taken. Democratic socialism. You vote to have money for taken." Yes, but you also feel the the warmth of collectivism. You forgot about that, Bronner. What about the warmth? See that? you forgot about doesn't care about warmth. All right. Now, so to respond to that, here's what the Republicans have to respond to that.
This is going to this is the thing right here. Boy, Republicans are ready.
They are ready to respond. Here is Republicans and Bruce Blakeman again.
Bruce Blakeman put this out. This is on his Facebook page, which is where he does most of his stuff here. And if you see make it bigger says, Bruce, are you going to do anything about electricity prices? That's the question he's asked.
Now again, he puts he put this out.
>> They're out of control. You know why they're out of control?
>> It's all a scam.
>> I'm not joking. He said, "Are you going to what about electricity price?" He said, "They're out of control. You know why they're out of control? It's a scam." That's his answer.
That's his answer.
Mom Donnie is given whatever free freeze the rent and whatever he's given and the Republicans answer is it's a scam.
That's his answer to someone out there.
Could you imagine what I would say to that man? How I would talk to him? I'd give him an answer. I tell him why it doesn't work, how we're going to fix it, and what the next steps are. What does Bruce do? He's still chowing on some stuff. Whatever he's chowing on, you could use to not chow so much if you're going to be in a public eye. But he does chow.
>> It's a scam.
>> It's a scam twice.
>> They're taking money from you. They're putting solar farms up.
>> They're taking money from you. So what is he going to do? He's giving you He's explaining why it sucks. Great. The question was, what are you going to do?
It's a scam. Democrats suck. Socialists are bad. Same garbage.
>> I want to be clear. He put this out.
This is not me catching him or someone trying to make him look bad. He thinks this is good. He's like this.
He's like, "Nailed it."
>> Good for two or three months out of the year.
>> It's insane.
>> See, this guy knows.
>> So, the plan is >> So, then someone else says what the plan is.
Blakeman's too busy eating, talking trash. Some other guy goes, "The plan is, why does the guy step in?" cuz he knows Blakeman is an idiot and can't talk for himself. Have you ever in the hundreds of events you've seen me do live across the state? Have you ever seen me fumble a question like that?
None of you have ever seen it. And I do it live. I do it live. I don't decide and pick and choose what I put up. My stuff goes out there live all the time.
People can ask me any question, ask questions like this all the time. If you've watched my live stuff, you've seen it. Would I ever fumble this? No.
And here's the worst part. Republicans know that. They watch my stuff and want, you know who we want? We want Bruce Blakeman. This Nepo baby loser. We want him >> tap into our natural gas.
>> Look how weak he is. YOU'RE TAKING A SIP OF COFFEE, you loser. While your while your wingman takes the takes the shot.
That's who Republicans thought was the right answer.
While your wingman answers the question because you're too incompetent or you don't give a shit enough.
>> Resources for the Marcela shale and the Udica shale. He's Marcela Shale. Again, I have said this for months and for those of you who know New York, Mike's brought up a thousand times. He's in New York. He in fact Mike used to live on the on the southern tier. And for those you don't know New York State, that's basically where most of the share is southern tier of of New York State, the B near the border of Pennsylvania for those who are New Yorkers. That's where most of it is. It's about 14 counties, give or take that I think it's 14, maybe 13. I think it's 14 that actually could possibly frack. They've all voted against fracking. New Yorkers don't want fracking.
So even though there is a mortorium, that's true, which is bad. We shouldn't have had one. We shouldn't have had a ban. The the the federal the the state ban was unconstitution. I've been done.
Local people should decide. Well, local New Yorkers have decided. They don't want fracking.
What's he talking about? It's a story that can't be done. Are you going to go against what we want? Hey, you who doesn't want fracking? We're fracking your land anyway. Stop. These are Republicans >> gonna make it happen. We're not doing anything with the gas right now. It's clean energy.
>> Bruce is gonna take the natural gas.
>> There's no way we can go all electric.
That's a pipe dream.
>> So, we can't go all that's like from the Simpsons.
>> Let's look at Simpsons. Can't go. You You could You could. It's called nuclear power.
>> New York State. There's too much winter.
>> Nice to meet you. You understand it.
>> He literally walked away. Nice to meet you. He walking away.
Dude, there's four people watching.
Look, you can see people watching. You could have gained three, four, five people.
Six people who could have been hardcore converts, but he's too incompetent and doesn't care.
>> That's That's up against. That's against mom Donnie.
Some of you may wonder, why is New York State Why do Democrats keep winning? I just showed you why. I just showed you why. Why is New York State Why Why do Democrats keep winning New York State?
This guy who I just showed you, Bruce, Nepo, baby, weak loser. That guy, he leads the Republican party in New York State.
This is why they're losing. This is why mom Donnie wins. And his answer is, "It's a scam. Loser with your bum Donnie bad." It makes me want to vomit. It makes me want to fucking vomit. I can't stand it. [snorts] Okay, let me grab a couple more of these before I get it. All right. Um, let's see if I can go down here. Um, I grabbed that one already. Uh, Scan says, "Yes, Lar." Yeah. Yes.
Yes.
That's true. Yes. So Andrew says, "Fem boy Blakeman, look at him eating whatever and doing his." You'll ever see me do that. When have you ever seen me ever again? I'm I think I'm almost eight or 900 events across the state. When have you ever seen me eating when I'm doing the presidency in front of somebody, drinking coffee in front of somebody? Ever.
Never. You've never seen me do it.
Never.
I talk to them. I shake their hand. I don't walk away. You get it and I walk away. No, I don't. You hear me all the time. Did I answer your question?
Use me all the time. Is that okay? Did you understand what I said? Did I answer your question?
I do it all the time. It is I'm like a machine. I do it all the time. I go through the piece. Did I answer your question? Did I? And sometimes they say no. No. What I meant was okay, then give me the secondary and I'll answer that one.
And even when I know they hate it, you will hear me say, "I know you disagreed." I know you disagreed. You didn't like it. But did I answer it though? And they go, "Yeah, but that was okay." Then I answered it. You cannot like what I had to say. That's fair. You don't have to understand. Sorry. You don't have to believe what I say. It's true. You don't have to agree with me.
But I have to make sure I answer that question every every time. There's no exception.
You cannot find an exception. You can do all my stuff you want to. You hate me.
Go through all my stuff. You will never find it.
You will never find it. Absolutely.
So, all righty. Um, let's see here.
Yeah, I grabbed that piece already. You guys go through a bunch of things here.
So, all right. Doc says, "What if Netanyahu isn't willing to test Mani and skip New York City?"
Um, I think that the advantage of to be forward, a lot of people win if BB gets arrested.
And I don't mean I'm not joking. A lot of people win because the left right paradigm is even stronger. Let's assume for a moment I mean we're walking a a crazy road, doc, but let's walk down the road. I'm happy to walk down it. Manny finds some excuse to arrest him. I again I don't know how he does it, but for the sake of our argument, he figures out a legal way. Again, we're walking down this crazy road. that even if he does it doesn't mean New York City can now hand him over to you know whatever Britain or the the the Hague New York City assuming that they would do something would have to hand them over to the federal government. So assuming they again they find some way I can't think of a way but lawyers come up with some excuse how they can whatever to your point and then they give it to the federal government.
Trump's just gonna let him go. Go. Let him go. So, he's never going to the HEG.
This is the best part. Even if for some insane reason that I can't imagine, Mike, do you have a way? If you got a way he can do it, tell me. I can't imagine a way, but I'm I'm I'm walking down your road, Doc. He finds some loophole that neither me or Mike have thought of, and they arrest him. Okay.
They can't send him to the HEG. Now, that's not a thing. They'd have to hand him over to the American federal government who and then in theory would then hand him over, right? Assuming that that was going to happen. Well, they're going to hand him over to the whatever FBI, Department of Homeland Security, whoever, right? They're going to hand him over to CIA, I don't know who they hand him to, Secret Service, whatever.
They hand him over to whomever and then Trump goes, "Let him go and he goes back to Israel." So, he doesn't go to the H no matter what, even if Mamani somehow finds a way. But if he did it, everybody wins. Everybody except Trump.
M Donnie wins cuz see I got I Netanyahu and money comes flying in cuz Ebo Netanyahu. So yeah, perfect. Money comes flying in. He wins. To Mike's point, DSA loves him. Loves him. They throw flowers at him and do whatever he wants and you know, all good. He wins. Total win for Mom Donnie. BB goes home. Oh my god, the anti-semitism. He goes home to a win. So BB won. BB's a martyr. BB wins. Trump.
But BB wins. Why would BB not come? If BB does again, if he gets arrested, he still wins. He ain't going to egg. He's going back to Israel like whatever a couple days later, what whatever time frame he'll lose a couple days. He'll sit in some hotel holding cell someplace and then he'll send him back to Israel.
So yeah, that's not a thing. So, I I wouldn't if I was BB, I wouldn't skip it. I'd happily get arrested.
What are you gonna do? Spend he'll spend a couple days in some holding cell, which will be a hotel. Um then they'll send him back to Israel. So, yeah, Trump might suffer from that. Maybe. Depends on how that works. So, maybe. Anyway, um Andrew said Trump will grant him amnesty. Yes, of course he would. Trump will let him go. Absolutely. Of course he would. 100% true. So yeah, even if it happens, it doesn't matter. He's not going he's not going to the H. So yeah, Don say must be worried about getting arrested in Israel. He's more worried about that. Yes, 100%. He's more worried about being arrested in his own country than he is ours. I mean, he's not going to be arrested again. It's not going to happen. But even if I've missed something somehow, he ain't going to egg. That's not going to happen. So yeah. All right. Sean says, "I think he knows he can't arrest him as raper." It is. We're talking about it. They're all talking about it. Fox is talking about it. CNN's talking about MSNBC is talking about it, right? They're all talking about New York Times. Yes. Amazing press. This is my point. People saying what Mike is saying logically is correct. Mike's not wrong. I The CNN guy proved it. The CNN guy is what Mike said. Boom. Boom. Boom. True. And wasn't talking about it. So, Mom D doesn't care. That isn't the point. The point is what we just talked about. It is working perfectly. D says, "Larry, it truly you're filling in for Bob Lansbury Radio Tuesday morning 8 to 12 and for afternoon 3 to 6." Yes, I am. Yes, correct, I am. Um, I'll be filling in for the Bob Lonsbury show in uh Rochester on Wham WHM tomorrow morning from 8:00 a.m. to noon. So, you want to tune in, check out Wham 1080. And I'll be uh on WSYR uh Syracuse, which will be Friday afternoon 36. Bob Blonsbury is a uh friend of mine and lets me uh do his uh guest host his radio show many times during the uh during the uh week. So Mike says in other words, Mike again, you were right, Mike. I said it. You you are 100% correct. There's no doubt Mike was correct. Yes. Absolutely. And that guy in CNN proved it. Absolutely true.
[snorts] All righty. Um Anderson, I'm learning the coverage from all sides.
Yes. Okay, I've got some more though.
So Andrew says, "Larry, you're saying Democrats give from a heart attack. It's plausible.
I'm not saying heart attack." I mean, maybe, but I am saying that, how do I say this and be realistic on this? The problem is if you watch left-leaning, and I'll show you one one right now, one more piece to show you.
If you watch left-leaning media, and I mean hor left, not like just CNN, I mis I mean left-leaning like podcasts and such. Every other week, Trump is dropping dead of this, Trump's dying or that. I mean, it's constant. So, how do you know when it's real? One day it might be real and no one will believe it because they've been saying it. Remember that time he was gone for like a week like Trump did that? Remember that? Yes.
So, they do that all the time. Um, but the reality of it is you can see it.
This job, it it's the hardest job. Like, it rips you to pieces. It does. You see every president how it ages them. It's tearing him apart. As much as people may love Trump, he's still just a man. He's not the God king. He's still just a man. And this is hammering him. again as it hammers everyone. He's also 80 and been doing this on and off for 10 years.
So, they're going to give him maybe aa but something. I mean, yes, if the Democrats decide to put hearings on everyone, which they will do. They've proven it. They've said it. They're going to lie and say they're going to impeach him. They're not going to impeach [clears throat] him, but they're going to lie and say they will so they can raise money. and they're going to attack him and everyone they possibly can for days on end, for weeks on end to the point where he's like, I'm out.
That's my prediction. You can think I'm crazy if you want to. I've said a lot of things these last couple years and I've been right almost every time.
You'll see this one, too. You'll see this one, too.
Thank you, Vim. Appreciate it, brother.
Thank you for coming. Become a member.
Hello. So, yes, I I think you're seeing this one, too. Yes. Just my view. You guys maybe think I'm crazy. So, all righty. Uh, Phil's up the 60 reps. Keep going. I love it. Brian here. Appreciate it. Hello, Larry. No Sharpies watching.

Not a good excuse, but it's the only one I got. So, yeah. All righty. So, grab some more of these here. Um, let me see if I can get down here some more of these.
>> [snorts] >> Robin says, "At least I support the the six trend awa that and people want that, Robin. They want most America. There's some people who like don't and I'm going to cover one of those guys who don't, but they're the the vast Americans are very happy to close the border and to get the bad guys out. It's the mass stuff with the mass people trying to rush to make numbers that has absolutely failed."
Right. As as I said it, there's simply not enough bodies and money to do it and to try to rush it. You're gonna have mistakes, which is what I said two years ago and which is what is happening. Yes.
All right. Um I think says BB's going to come over here and I'm done with doing anything. Yep. He'll just give a fancy speech about how BB's evil and stuff, you know, class political speech. I think you're right. I agree with you. Um and it'll go well, right? This will be very good for him. People will love it.
He will be able to do his virtue signal, which is what he wants to do. It will be perfect. I agree. I I think you're totally correct. Now, again, I thought if he could do it, he would, but I think there is I cannot see a way of doing it.
If Mike knows a way, Mike, please let me know if you know some way. I cannot see a way of him of him finding a way to arrest him. I don't I would definitely do it though if I were him. So, yes. All righty. [snorts] Um, Broner says, "Wow, Larry 21 episode." that I know, you know, I'm annoyed at many things. And as I get annoyed, I tend to get spicier. The marine me comes out and this stuff really annoys me, right? This stuff really annoys me because it's so obvious nobody wants to win. Christopher says, I said it before, I'm a MAGA guy and I like Mine as Paul.
I agree with you. I think Chris, you get it. You get it?
If politics was only about logic, both me and Mike would have won our races.
It's not.
It's about likability and emotion and money and all the things. It's about so many other things than just logic.
You're right. People like him. He's actually a nice guy.
He is. He's if you meet him I know for those of you who know you can watch I I I know him. I've had him on my show. I did an interview with him three years ago. Yes, that's if you meet him. Nice guy. You'll like him. He's personable.
He's just destroying the city and he will help destroy [laughter] all of it. He will. But yes.
All right. I do want to grab a couple more if I can. Um let's see. I think I went down that road. There we go. Um okay. Let me if I could. This part I think is interest. This is the left talking about Mandami. Now, you're going to see a couple things that you're not going to believe, but I've told you these things before and some of you, particularly using a right who in your echo chamber, you will this will surprise you. This guy is guy from called Second Thought. Very popular, almost two million um subscribers, ve hundreds of thousands of views and all his stuff. He is a hardcore socialist.
hardcore. M Donnie doesn't go far enough for him.
Now you're gonna hear the Republicans go, he's a communist. He's not. He's a socialist. He's not a communist. He's a socialist. The commies don't think he goes far enough.
So yeah, from the city of the office, Son Mandady, >> one year ago today, kind of >> I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City. Zoron won the Democratic primary and all but secured the mayor's office, snatching victory from the paws of the creep and according to what I'm seeing on Facebook, turning the city into a cesspit of kami Sharia Bushwick needle swapping woke blue hair no cops pronouns Hamas Kumbaya BS.
>> Yes, that's all Republican propaganda that he laughs at because people in this city know it's not true. It's not. Terry says, "Preach it, Larry. People getting around." Correct. Michael's not insulting Madani. I'm describing his impact who he is targeting. It's beyond my preferences. The fact most care more on feelings is why I'm true. Yes. But you are insulting him.
But you are insulting him. What you said said is what Democrats were saying about Trump. I'm not insulting him. He's a fascist and here's why. And they had a whole list of reasons why he was. He's not fascist, but that's okay. They had a list of why just like you do. They had a list.
>> Belongs to you.
Is that a good thing? Has Zoron the more dumb mom dummy lened up the big apple and Red disgusting it? In this episode, we decided to find out. This is the point. He actually wants that to happen.
This is why when the Republicans go, "He's a communist," the communists go, "No, he's not.
No, he's not. He don't go nowhere near far enough." He's going to explain it in a second. He's not done. And again, I'm be very clear, over two million subscribers, hundreds of thousands of views. This guy's very popular on the far left. He's very popular.
>> Title card. Wait, was I was I supposed to say that? [music] >> Has Zon kept his word? Ask. D, by the way, says, I just saw a news clip on the mainstream media about what Larry's about great divorce. Use the exact words. Yes.
I was right. Great. Divorce is a problem, too. Why does that matter?
Because not only do you have young people unhappy, you have older people who are unhappy. People getting divorced and now lonely. And now you don't have you were accustomed whatever number of years you were married. You were accustomed to having two household two uh two u uh uh paychecks coming out of household. Now it's one. Now you can't pay your bills. Pay your bills. When you had a hubby or wife there, you can pay your bills. Well, now hubby or wife's gone. can't pay you bills no more.
>> All right, quick plug and then we'll get back to it. As always, I want to respect your time, so it really does mean the world to us.
>> All right, that's it, back to the video.
>> Let's start with a list. Zoron's achievements in just 6 months in office are incredibly impressive. And at the top, you have to put free universal child care for thousands of 2-year-olds in New York. Now, thousands, 2,000, not many, doesn't matter. This goes to what he's been saying, which M Dan has been brilliant. What Trump should have been saying, but wasn't is what Mdan is saying. Promises made, promises kept.
This is real. He said it, he's given it.
It's true. Nuner says, "Larry, you're right on affordability. However, a lot of these woke lefty Jews are the same ones pushing policies like open borders." Um, some, but not all. Most of them, most you look at the polls on this, most people, Democrats or Republicans, are happy Trump closed the border. It's a very popular issue.
Yes. No. She says if she runs for president, she'll blow her political career and she knows it. I think you're right. I don't think she runs. I think Mike has certain that she wants to. I think she's her and her team are too sad to do it. I think she doesn't do it.
>> Just eight days into his term, Mamani secured a $1.2 billion budget to make prekfree in the city and add thousands of new spots for kids. Finally giving thousands of New York parents an answer to the question, how can I provide the greatest number of infectious diseases to my child at no cost?
>> Joking, of course. Michael's on Blakeman has zero policies and over nothing but empty promises. Yep. Blues ways 20 points. Such an embarrassment to Republicans. This is my issue. Mike, you've hit it perfectly. I'm not sure if the 20 points yet. I'm still at 15, but we'll we'll see come November. I'm moving towards you, though, cuz I'm seeing how bad he is. So, I'm moving towards you, but as I said, I still was on 15. Maybe you still with 20, but yeah, it's it's bad. But they don't care. Republicans have a chance if they will get their heads of their asses to win, but nothing. Yes. Andrea says no answer. Of course not. Yes. Adonic says Blickman came out in Strong Swap data centers only because Hok wants one year more. Yes. That's why now he want Yes.
Blake doesn't know what what how it even works. He has no idea. Yes. Absolutely.
D says but but Larry Bruce doesn't want to win. He's totes cool with second place. Yes.
Yes. Absolutely true. Yes.
Uh I I wish it wasn't true. Phil says, "Blakeman is New York's cow grazing across New York State." Yes. Bruceaurus.
Yep. Warm body, Brucey. Yep. Terry says, "Blood pressure, Larry. Blood. We need you." I know. I I get upset, Terry, because we actually had a chance to do something this year. And it wasn't Democrats who stopped me. It was Republicans who stopped me this year.
It was Republicans who stopped me this year. Yes. Brona says Pennsylvania's Littlewood shell if I remember. Yes, that area goes through northern Pennsylvania and southern New York. And Pennians said, "Yes, we want it." New Yorkers said no. And they voted on it. So, I'm not mad at them. It is what it is. You are correct. Let's go nuclear. Then I everything says, "Larry, I know you disagree with Libertarians and Republican party, but to New Yorker to New Yorker, the state buckers are losers. They're just throwing words out.
I'm with you. I tried the Republican route, remember? And they kicked my ass and threw me out. They didn't want anything to do with me.
I sat and talked with Blakeman twice.
Tell me to go fuck myself twice. Why did I insult him all the time?
He He knows either either he's that stupid, which is possible. He's not that bright. So maybe he's that dumb maybe, and he's being completely elder abuse by the people around him just sucking up all his money. He's because he's taking matching funds just so we can take it and grip. He's he's a Republican happily taking taxpayer dollars to lose and make no change. He's eating that coffee and drinking off taxpayer dollars to make no change, to do nothing, to not care, to do nothing, knowing he's going to lose or he's just a fool and believes he's going to win and people around him are laughing at him, grifting, taking money.
It's possible that's true. Who knows? Or he knows and he doesn't care. But the Republican leadership in this state, I don't know about whatever state other people live in. I'm telling you, New York State, they're an embarrassment.
The leadership has utterly failed. And they will, and most of them are cowards.
They won't even step up. They won't step and go, "Stop it." No, they go, "Whatever you say, leadership, cuz we want our jobs." They're an embarrassment. They should all be removed. All of them. Just removed. All of them gone. They they have lost six cycles in a row and they wonder why Republicans in my state don't want to vote anymore. Why would you?
You've lost six cycles in a row and you're like, "This is our year." No, it isn't, idiot. No, it's not. Stop believing Republican voters. Stop believing them. I've been asking you for the past couple of weeks, if you're Republican in my state, and I can't speak for the states. I can speak for New York State. I can't speak for the states. If you're a Republican in my state, yell at your leadership every day. Email them, call them, text them, insult them, whatever it takes. Tell them to get rid of Blakeman. He's not going to win. He's a crappy candidate. Get rid of him now.
He's terrible.
They didn't give you a primary. Why?
Because they wouldn't let me in. I'm not making that up. They wouldn't let me in.
Not my fault. Not my fault. I tried to make this happen. They told me go take a hike.
Mike says, "No, Blakeman's flanked by operatives. It's a setup. That's why Blakeman stopped speaking, especially on the issue of actual policy. But they default to fracking. A dead issue. Out of touch." Yes. Yes. Yes. All true. Yes.
Mike's been with me at events. He sees me. Mike's been watching me at events since 2018.
Mike knows I'll answer a question. Even if people don't like what I'm saying, I'll answer it and they'll move on.
Whatever it is, they you will get an answer out of me. Like it or not, absolutely, you will get an answer out of me. All right. Let me tell you, I'm a parent myself, and this is a big deal for everyone, but especially for those working-class parents who can't afford to either take work off or send their kids to private prek or move neighborhoods to where c >> See, the problem I have with it is what he's saying is correct.
The answer though isn't give them free child care. The answer is create a better environment and a work environment so that people can actually afford to have children and feel comfortable. That's the real answer. The answer is ownership. Owning your home, owning your job, owning your business, owning infrastructure. That's the actual answer that I keep talking about. So again, what Democrats do very well and the left does very well is say the problem. They're very good at that.
Their answers are garbage. He honestly believes the answer is government should give you stuff. He believes it. So does mom Donnie >> are available. Not everyone can get help from family and feeling like your kids are already falling behind at just >> Why can't everyone get anything from family? Cuz we've broken up communities.
What do I do all the time?
Communities.
If we had more communities, we wouldn't need government. So, so my policies go to fixed communities. My policies keep money internally. My policies allow you to create what you want to create and vote locally. My policies allow you to vote on your energy. You have allow you as an individual to own your MTA system.
You can vote on yourself. Fix it yourself. What do you need me for?
What do you need government for? He doesn't see that. 2 years old is a horrible thing. This plan eradicates that.
Not measles, though. You might have also seen that we're taxing the rich now in the capital of >> Oh, and he loves that. Like that's remember when I when that came out.
When it came out, if you remember when it came out, his his tax under the pet tax, so many Republicans, that's it.
That's the endah. And I said, "It'll be the greatest thing you ever done.
They'll love it. The left will eat this up. Democrats will just they'll cream themselves. They'll love it so much."
And they love it. This guy thinks it's the greatest thing ever. I mean, he loves it. He's eating it up. Bron says, "Larry equals no notes, no food, no teleprompter. Answer every question asked." True.
Accurate.
>> Capital second homes worth more than $5 million and that sit empty most of the year are now going to be taxed. That'll bring in somewhere in the neighborhood of half a billion dollars.
>> You get it? Neighborhood.
Which is really good news for a city where rent and property prices just keep going up. They keep I wonder why. Could it be because Democrats have run this city and town for decades?
Could it be that they never seem to mention that part, do they?
They never seem to mention that part that the reason why this happening is cuz Democrats have run the city and state for decades. That part they just don't confuse me with them facts. Don't do that at all.
Deb Debit Debis was okay STFU. I think that's supposed to be bishass. Was that an insult?
That's the best you got.
If I were you, my opinion, I would learn how to spell before I start doing typing stuff out to insult people. This my two cents. You do as you see fit. I would spell better if I were you. My opinion, do as you see fit. Welcome on board.
Please stay. Love to have you. All righty. Uh, let me keep moving down here. D says, "Larry came down to Florida with no notes and talked about the libertarian candidates electing them for years for a rally." True.
True.
Linda says, "I would never arrest BB."
Yeah, I got what you're saying. You thought I didn't get that. I got that. I know you wouldn't. I know what you would do, but I'm on YouTube, so but yes, I know where you are. 100%.
Yes. All righty. Just funny. And says, "Blakeman is taking talking or taking Manny out on day one." Oh, that's right.
Day one. That's right. I'm not sure what they're going to do. on their date.
Bruce has promised to take mom Donnie out. I'm sure they'll have a fun time together. I'm sure they will. So, yes, >> there are entire streets filled with empty apartments used by billionaires exclusively as improvised bank deposits.
>> Anuna says to Mike, can fracking work with proper oversight? It can.
It can. Um, there are here's the problem with fracking for those who don't know the actual problem with it. The biggest issue that most people don't talk about is that fracking companies hide behind intellectual property. What I mean by that, what they're putting in the ground, they say, "I can't tell you because it's a trade secret." So, they put stuff in the ground, they don't tell you about, depend where they are and how they're doing it. When that begins to happen, people get scared as they should. You should. You don't know what the hell's going on the ground. You should. They also wind up not doing the insurance appropriately because they go they fall back to the EPA which I explained to EPA last week how bad that is. If you want to frack in New York State in my opinion if I was governor here's the rule I'd make. Local people decide if you want to go go. But there are two rules you must maintain. You must maintain. Number one, you cannot hide behind intellectual property.
Whatever you're going to pump into the ground people must know. If you're saying we can't, then you cannot frack.
You can only frack if you let the people know what's going in their ground and they have to decide I'm okay with it or I'm not. So transparency, that's one reason why people said no to it because they didn't know it was going through the ground. That people don't tell you that. Also, that's one of the reasons why people say no to it. They don't trust what's going in the ground because people don't tell them. So, first is that. Second, you have to have full insurance more than the EPA.
If you trash a joint, you got to fix it.
That's it. Those two things, frack away.
That's all you really need. I mean, there's other things, of course, but those two big ones. If you cover those two things, fracking can work. The problem is they often don't do that, but yes, it can absolutely work. Yes. So, Michael's going to say fracking safe in various forms, can be used in 14. Yeah, fracking can work. It absolutely can. My issue is those two.
That's it. My issue is those two. We fixing that. Yes. Robin says, uh, I live in a fracking country. It works. It works well. Yes, it does. It can work.
Absolutely, it can work. 100%.
Nuna says, "Uh, does an unrated refracting cause quake time?" It can. It absolutely can. The question is, do you have the appropriate oversight? Do people know what's going in the ground?
And do you have insurance? Those things matter. But it can happen. Sure. They I think it was in Oklahoma there was something like that happened. I think if I'm mistaken, it can. Yes. But again, the issue also becomes though, right?
It's your land.
Do you want to gamble to get the cash out of your land?
If you say no, I'm good. It's your land.
You're not required to do anything. If you go, "Yeah, I'm okay with it. I'm good. It's your land." That's the issue.
That's the issue. It's your land.
Much in the same way I use my Funkos, we're all just parking our money in a safe investment. At least now there's a public benefit to us doing what we do.
>> See, he just called his tax on the rich a public benefit.
Come on, that's good.
>> Now, as with most of Mumani's plans, billionaires went to the press to whine.
They said, "Oh, this is a mistake.
People are going to leave. We don't want to kick out millionaires who spend so much in New York." Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. But they know they're not going anywhere.
>> That's of what he's saying now is utter lie. Literally, there are many, and I mean many, data points that show millionaires do leave New York City. And they have been New York City loses about $20 billion. This is from the IRS every year due to migration. Due to migration, about $20 billion of revenue every year.
So, they are leaving. They've been leaving since the the 2010s. They've been leaving since then, and they're still leaving. If I remember right, New York City used to have like 12% is that I think that's right 12% billionaire millionaires and now it's like 9%. So we've lost chunk. So this is what he's saying is not true. But this is this is a this is a Democratic talking point which is not real.
>> Taxes like these never actually drive out more than a tiny percent of ultra wealthy residents. Study. [music] >> Yeah. Wait one.
>> And at the end of the day, New York is New York. These guys can't avoid going there once in a while.
Yes, once in a while they have to doesn't mean they have to buy things there. He's not wrong. Once in a while they go there, but now less and less.
There's more Zoom and there's more Miami and there's more Austin and there's more Dallas. If they can afford a $5 million apartment they barely use, they can afford this. They don't actually have any leverage. And boy, does that feel good. So, the city's getting more money coming in and it's going to allow the mayor's office to do more of what they've already shown they can do. Well, >> that's going to that's going to the government's going to do stuff. Well, [snorts] >> says ice need to be visited by Trendy Aagra, MS-13, others. They are sporting.
The reality of it is most Americans are okay with this. But when you when you do when you force something that can't be done, you get problems.
You get Mike goes, it's not possible in any way from res. I don't think I don't I agree with you, Mike. I don't I don't see a way. I don't I think it's just talk. I think I Hate Everything is right. It's He's going to do a He's going to do a a speech on how bad BB is or whatever. Call him names and raise money. I'm I'm with you. Best he can do is maybe delay his plane leaving. Maybe, but I don't think he'll do it. I think he'll just do a speech, act like do he'll do his virtue signaling, which will work. He'll raise tons of money.
That's it. Bora says, "If politics was about logic, I'd be a statist." Oh, I like that. It's a popular I'm okay. I'm stealing that and giving you no credit, Broner. Zero. None. I'm giving you no credit. Yes. Super Weapon [snorts] says, "Mani, the worst kind of tyranny. A benevolent one." I feel it. See that? I feel it. Yes.
like handling a historic blizzard, putting the screws to landlords, filling hundreds of thousands of potholes, getting rid of junk fees on hotels and delivery apps, and all this other stuff that this video is just not able to cover because we frankly >> see all the underestimated how much MD's done when we started this.
>> Did you hear what he just said?
They love what he's doing.
They love what he's doing.
They love it.
All the time you hear Republicans going, "Yeah, hate mom. They love him. Look at him talking about how much they love him."
>> And in the future, building more affordable housing, making buses free.
They believe all this stuff. None of that's going to happen. Doesn't matter.
He right now he has promises made, promises kept. He has that now. He is winning.
He's currently winning. And the damage that he's doing, me and Mike talked about this a long time ago. The damage he's doing won't be seen for years. It's going to happen, but you won't see it for years. By that time, he'll blame Trump. He'll say it was Trump did it cuz you know Trump has magic powers to break things. Whatever. He'll just blame Trump. and opening public grocery stores with the first one already announced for the end of the year.
>> See, >> the wheels are already turning. And this is working. Having a socialist mayor is working.
>> See that? It's working.
>> The next time you see some brain dead, bought and paid for idiot on Fox go, "Mom, Danny's terrible. They hate him.
He's going to lose the election.
Remember this video. Remember this video. Remember the Fox News host Emily going he's doing a good job of He's lying but good job of it. He is. It's true. Remember CNN go Fox News I'm sorry. Um New York Times give him a glowing a glowing uh interview. Remember this guy talking about how great he's doing. Yes.
He's not losing.
If you want to do something now would be the time. Not for nothing, but New Yorkers by and large, they love the Zo.
>> I like him. I like his smile. I think he's got good energy.
>> I love him.
>> I'm just amazed that he [music] does so much.
>> Look at this. Up like >> Look, I'm not making this up. Every time you hear idiot Blakeman go, we're going to win cuz Mamani, stop believing him. Mani's policies aren't going to collapse for years.
Maybe 2028 they'll hate him. Maybe 2029 you'll hate him. Maybe. Not this year.
This year they love him. They love him to rock it higher and higher. New York City voters have never felt better about the 68% man that they elected to lead this city.
He has done a ton of great things already. Not the least of which >> 68%.
Are you high?
>> Breaking with the left's traditional MMO.
Losing. We've gotten so used to elections being a contest between >> Texas says, "Please, sir, stop talking while you're playing an interview. I get it. It's you, but it's annoying." That then you could just watch the interview, dude.
That's the whole point. You could just watch the interview.
It's the whole point.
Mr. Neoitlib and bring Hitler back, man.
that it's incredibly refreshing seeing someone on the left not just offering an alternative and winning on that line, but then actually doing pro workingclass things once in power instead of clip farming anti-Republican zingers, writing strongly worded letters, and going back to the nursing home. Now, this part is what so many Democrats are mad about.
He's hit this perfectly. Perfectly. And this is he says most Democrats when they get in power don't do anything. They write words, complain, whine, and cuz they're so old, that's his attack, go back to the nursing home. He's right.
Yes, that's what happens.
Roy says, "If Amdani ordered or anyone in his office attempted to arrest, aka kidnapping Abanyahu, the feds would be happy to arrest him." Him being. You're not wrong. I I don't think he's I don't I and even Mike said I don't see any way this to me is a publicity stunt to be for Roy and a very effective one. We're all talking about it. So, it's a very effective publicity stunt. It works beautifully, but I I can't I can't see any way of him arresting Netanyahu. I can't see any way of him doing it.
Again, if I if there was a way, I would say do it. You It's great publicity for him and for BB, but I'm with you. I I can't see any way of him doing it. And there you got to be some kind of magic lawyer to come up with that one. You got to have some kind of I don't know how you do it. So yeah. All right. Texting goes, "I'm Irish in Dublin. Welcome. You fell for this guy. You do not elect the man of Islam in New York. Are there any Christian countries?" And then I'm going to moan to no point. You fell for this guy. I fell for this guy. I'm not let water. The state did. Yes. The city did.
Yes. But why did they? This is the most important part. Texas, the most important But you're in Dublin, Texas.
Nice. Anyway, the most important thing to remember. Why did they? Because in my state and in my city, Republicans had no answer. That's the reason why Republicans had no answer. If Republicans had an answer, they could have beaten him. He was beatable with the right candidate with some answers.
When you just go communism bad, people go, I can't pay my rent. This guy's going to give me a few buses. I'll take it. This guy's got some charisma. I'll take it. Republicans have a charisma in my state. Find a Republican in my state with some charisma.
You can't. Whoa. Does charisma matter?
YES, IT'S POLITICS. YES. YES. To think it doesn't is insane. Of course it does.
So yes, >> like sewer socialists back in the 30s, Zoran is proving that socialists can both have the right ideas and get shit done. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Zoran isn't the US's first socialist in office.
>> He did, by the way, call himself a socialist on my show 3 years ago. He did.
>> Century ago, cities like Milwaukee elected true bred reds to city councils and mayor.
>> True bred reds.
Bet you ever heard that one.
>> Offices. And once in power, these sewer socialists delivered things like the first public housing co-op in the country, >> which have failed.
>> City-owned power and quaries, which have failed.
>> And as the name implies, functional sewage systems that might have succeeded. I'm not sure if they did. The other ones all failed, but yes, they did put them in. He's not wrong. They put them in and now they suck.
Not wrong. They did put them in, but now they suck. And there's the point. when they build it, it does work. He's not wrong. We built a thing. Okay, it exists. Now maintain it. Oh, we can't.
It falls apart because it's garbage under socialism. But they do build it.
He's not wrong. As I always say, the stuff that happens in under socialism, you don't see the results until years later. That's the advantage of it. And I know it makes some of you angry because you don't like it, but it's still true.
When you do it, you all of a sudden you don't see the failures till later. It looks great. They built a new thing.
Look. And then three years from now, it's so expensive. It's rotten. It's falling apart. And you blame the next guy. So, yes. Ender says, "Speaking of going nuclear, if you become governor, I hope you you do punish the GOP. First loosen the the tight knot on us, then punish the ners." I like that. Yes. I like that.
They even, in an echo of what's coming down the pike in New York, secured cityrun affordable food and clothing.
Once again, socialists in office, good, but sometimes bad, too.
>> See, here we go.
>> For all the great things the Mandani admin is doing, having the DSA sticker of endorsement doesn't give him a free pass. For all the progress made, there are some serious concerns I and a lot of us on the left have about how the next few years might go.
>> Watch this one. You This will drive some of us. This will drive some of you crazy. And let's start with the biggest disappointment so far.
>> And the one I'm going to bring up is something that this I'm brought this up not because I want you to go crazy over what he says, because I want you to stop believing Republican propaganda.
He is going to he [snorts] is going to to to show you how some Republican Republican is wrong. Flexboro says, "Larry, I really like your ideas and I think you'd be a great governor, but man, where's your campaign knows who you are?" I know cuz they keep throwing me off the ballot, guy. I'm trying to get a lawsuit so I can win this damn thing.
You're not wrong.
I tried independent. I tried Republican.
I'm trying to get back on the ballot again. Hopefully, I can make it.
Hopefully, I can make it. That's my next steps. So, >> the NYPD, we knew this was coming.
This guy wants to defund the police. He does. And he's mad because Mam Donnie hasn't defunded the police.
I know. Like your head's going to explode. No, no, no. He He's like, "No, defund him. Just watch where he goes.
Wherever you think he's going to go."
Oh, he goes worse.
>> Early in the election cycle, Mamani committed to keeping Jessica Tish on as NYPD commissioner. Most recently seen here. You might not know her if you don't live in the city, but Tish is well known there for both her connections to New York's financial elite as an ays of the Lowe's, >> which makes her evil by default in his eyes because she's connected to the financial evil number one. But there's more reasons why she's evil.
>> Family fortune and her, let's call it conservative approach to policing, particularly against [music] pro Palestine protesters.
>> She is a darling of the New York elite.
And as one of the highest ranking figures in the city, someone appointed directly by the mayor and the commander of 30,000 officers playing with the budget of an army. Tish is not like any other appointment. So she is evil.
That's how he sees it. That's how he sees it. Yes. Now, most people in New York City actually like Tish. Most do.
There's some who don't, but most actually do. They're like, "She's a decent decent job." Most do. Sonia says, "I don't own shit. Can't afford it." I know you're with a lot of us. I'm trying to fix that. Yes. Another day older and deeper in debt. Yes. Absolutely. Yes.
Absolutely.
>> Whoever has that role matters a lot.
That she is such a diametrically opposed figure politically is one thing, but the more important issue >> is her track record since she's been in charge.
>> Uhoh. Already we've seen her commitment to so-called quality of life, >> which most New Yorkers are happy about this. Like people aren't mad at her, but this guy's a hardcore lefty. She got to go got to defund the police. He believes that. So he's actually unhappy about this.
>> I'm going to go further though.
>> Basically sending cops to harass people in a sort of drag net way. The idea of QOLP or culp as the kids call it is you bring out the big guns for the little stuff to stop it at the source.
>> True. And it works.
>> It doesn't sound too unreasonable until you realize it's the same failed idea behind broken windows.
>> Which actually works. I hate to say it.
I do. I it it it actually does work. I used to work for Bill Bratton who was police commissioner of New York back in the day doing the Giuliani. It actually does work. I know it sounds bad and I know more libertarians like But if you're going to if you're going to have it, this the right answer. She's not wrong. It's putting guys with guns in situations where they're going to escalate things.
>> Well, that part's true. You have to have good training. So, he's not wrong on that. So, he he has a little bit of truth to it. A little bit of truth. That part's true. Yes.
>> What does this look like in practice?
For one, it looks like homeless people being dragged to court in droves for sleeping in subway cars.
>> Yes. He thinks it's a bad thing. That's a bad thing for him.
>> Started when Tish was working for Adams and it hasn't slowed down a bit under Zoron.
>> He wants them sleeping.
>> You only sleep.
>> I'm not joking. He says it. You only >> on the train if you truly have no other choice. For example, if you've been iced all night, but sicking the cops on >> So if you've been iced all night, he hates ice, too.
All right. Why do I bring this up?
Because you will hear Republicans say, "Now that mom donny's there, crime is everywhere." Not true. That's not That's not true. It's not true. Tish is still doing the same stuff. Not true. That is Republican propaganda. There's many reasons why mom Donnie is bad. This is not one of them. Also, how mom Donnie not true either. The reason why you don't hear much about New York. I actually don't hear that much about it.
And you don't It's not that bad here. It just isn't. They're actually pretty much working with ICE here and they don't want to tell you that because if you tell Democrats that they get mad because they want ICE gone, but they're quiet, but they're working with ICE. That's actually happening here. So, yes, I'll show you in a second. M [snorts] Mike says, "Taxing rising 20,000 jobs and not collecting the the the needed pre-counted taxes required for balancing the budget, the Dems." Yeah, but yeah, true. Christopher says, "Hoku in New York State versus New York City, different people." It seems it's true.
They are different. But there's a but he's in a couple of that too. I hit a thing says Manhattan and Brooklyn rent is at alltime high. Yes, his policies don't work. Correct. But again, he can do promises kept. Promises made, promises kept. Effect garbage. But we won't see it for a while.
>> On people just trying to make do is overkill. And it doesn't take into account that the homeless have even less of a choice these days now that the Mumani admin has tragically restarted doing homeless encampment.
>> Yes, he's not wrong. That's actually true.
>> Sweeps. And the criminalization of homelessness is just one particularly cruel facet of this problem. The NYPD's also shown it's a problem in the way they've been collaborating with ICE. The >> video shows >> collaborating with ICE.
You will hear Republican propaganda tell you, "Oh, they're not ICE and they hate ICE. They don't." You'll hear Kathy Hokll say it. Gonna throw ice out. She's lying. They ain't throwing ice out. You hear them? He got to GIVE IT ICE. HE AIN'T GETTING RID OF ICE.
That's him yelling propaganda to the Democrats, but still getting rid because he knows he has to get these bad guys out. He knows they have to get bad guys out.
Everybody wants the bad guys out, but he has to act like he hates ICE.
Meanwhile, they're all working together.
That's Republican propaganda and Democrat propaganda, too, by the way.
They That's both That's the only joint propaganda they have. They're both saying no one's working with ICE. Yeah, they are all over the place. ICE agents dragging a man outside of Wyoff Heights Medical Center.
>> Why ICE took him into custody, but the >> look NYPD and ICE working directly together.
>> NYPD says it had no involvement in this operation.
>> You may have heard about this already, but on May 2nd, NYPD arrested and used force against New Yorkers protesting ICE as the agency was arresting an undocumented immigrant in Bushwick from >> This is ICE and NYPD working together.
multiple stories.
To think they're not is Democratic propaganda to keep Democrats thinking, "Yeah, get nice and Republicans think, oh, Democrats hate ICE." Total BS. Why do you think I don't talk about it much?
It's not a thing. From >> what we know, ICE and the NYPD didn't coordinate ahead of time, so no laws were broken or anything. But that didn't stop officers on the scene aiding the US Gustapo as they dragged a hand. He calls ICE the US Gestapo. Nicely done. Nicely done. This is good. This is good.
Democrats love this stuff. Rory says, "If the crap a company puts in a public ground is a trade secret, they need to find new trade." Agreed.
100% agreed. Yes. Doc say fracking companies create LLC's for each fracking pod and walk away from damage. Correct.
Was why I said they have to have the insurance. Correct. Yes. Exactly right.
That is why those that's why I focus on those two things. If those two things are done, I'm okay with it, right? Those are the two things we have to be done.
So, yes.
Cuffed clearly injured guy out of a hospital and pepper- sprrayed anybody getting in their way. The NYPD went so far as arresting and shoving protesters and even changing a tire on ISIS's car so that they could get away. Facil so they can get away. That's that's bad.
Sony says it's your land is a refreshing take when Western New York is heading in plasma solar panels. Yes. Also, North Country, too. It feels like the plan was to make Western New York too poor to not accept the money. Then, dangling carrot for the land. That is an accurate statement, Sonia. I wish you were wrong, but you are right. It's what I've been talking about forever. Right. Making farmers in Western New York price takers price makers and not price takers.
Allowing them to be treated like entrepreneurs. I've been talking about this forever. Treating farmers out there like entrepreneurs in every way, shape, or form. to include insurance, to include taxation, to include grading wholesale, retail. Yes. Right. If you're a farmer and you agree to sell only in New York State, being immune from all federal regulatory bodies. So, you can if you want to in any way, shape, or form. You can uh you can sell locally if you want to. Farm to table, farm to school, farm to hospital, farm to prison, farm to anything is a wonderful idea. Localized people making money together. What's wrong with that? A wonderful idea. I love all those things.
and better food in the hospitals, better food in the prisons, better food in the schools, better food everywhere.
Absolutely. You don't have to be a Monsanto farmer. You don't have to be a dairy farmer that just, you know, sells your your milk by the pounds to the government, which is, for those who don't know, most New York dairy farmers just sell the milk to the government by the pound. And for some reason, you sell by the pound, not by the gallon. I don't know why that's the case, but they measure milk by the pound. I don't know why. It's federal rules. But yes, you're totally correct, Sonia. There are ways you can fix this. And no, but but you know, Blakeman's gonna whatever. I don't know what. I don't know what. So, yeah.
>> ISIS operations like this is clearly not what should be happening with a socialist in charge. [music] And it seriously undermines Zoron's supposed commitment.
>> They're unhappy. That's his commitment.
Oh my god. Yes. Absolutely. Rona says, "I keep seeing memes coming uh claiming polls that say Mandami is most popular politician has ever lived." I'm not sure that's true, but he's very popular.
Yes.
M says, "Only a tiny number of rich leave. One billionaire took six billion tax revenue and 11,000 jobs. You don't need old to leave. That's a lie by a miss dams." True.
Absolutely true. Yes.
John says, "California considering a plan that if you move out of California, say Nevada, but still go to a DR veterinarian or doctor or vetinarian in California, they'll consider you a California residence in your tax bill."
What else can they do, John? What else can they do? The next step is taxing uh your your pensions. California does it already. You will see um you will see um New York will follow. Texas charisma, good looks is the last thing you want in a political guy. Everybody wants that, dude.
Everybody wants that.
Yeah. So, says, "Larry, how would you defeat Mi on this angle?" Which angle is that? Every angle I have, I have an answer that he does not have. Right.
Don't me wrong. To be very forward, the reason why lefties listen to me at all is because I want the same outcomes that they want. Outcomes, not the same method of getting there. I want more community. I think they're right. I want more ownership. Not public ownership, individual citizens owning. I want more of that. What's wrong with that? It's a great idea. Love that idea.
I think cheap or free bus is a wonderful idea. Just don't tax people for it. You can find ways of raising money for that.
I'm giving you many options. Of course you can. I think you want to have a cheaper MTA. I'm in. I love a cheap MTA.
Great idea. Just don't tax for it. You can find other ways of doing it. Of course you can. I talk about it all the time. So, I give you answers, ways of doing it. I think there should be more affordable housing. I completely agree.
I just don't think we should freeze the rents. The opposite. You do what what you do what Malay did in Argentina.
Proven to work. Get rid of all rent control. All of it. And what will happen within one year? It happened in Argentina. Rents came down 30%. I'm not joking. Rents came down 30%.
Homelessness went down. Actually happened. We can see it already happening. So, I want the same outcome as them. I think we I think we should have a better outcome. I don't want people sleeping in the streets. It's better housing. We can do it. Just you don't have to use the government to do so. That's the issue. As Bastiat said, just because I don't want the government doing it doesn't mean I don't want it done.
Here's the problem. Let me give you an example.
There was a guy I forgot to a friend of mine. There was a there was a guy who was um having a a mental problem in the in the subway. And you know, somebody said, "You know that guy, I think he's somebody's uncle." Cuz I think he knew the guy, right? He's somebody. Oh, he is. I said, "Why didn't they take care of him?" "What do you mean?" I said, "Why didn't they take care of him?
That's so and so's uncle." Whatever. I forgot what the guy said. Somebody's name his uncle. Well, no, you know, he's got some problems. I know, but he's has a family. Why don't I take care of him?
What do you mean? Like this. The guy couldn't get in his head. This was in the subway. Couldn't get me saying, "Why didn't the family help him?"
That didn't register. I had to say like four times. He's like, "What? What are you talking about?" I said, "You said he's someone's uncle." Yeah. So, whatever the guy's name, he's you know, whatever. Joey's uncle. Okay. Why didn't Joey or Joey's family take care of the uncle? What do you mean? He's got a problem. Yeah. He's got mental issues.
Yes. Why didn't they take care of him? I don't understand. What do you take care of him?
Mind blown.
The concept of a family or community taking care of their own doesn't exist.
He can't imagine. I said it. Why didn't they take care? He can't imagine it. In his view, it's government's job.
Community, family, who does that? It's the government's job.
It's the government's job.
He believed it. He couldn't understand what I was saying. I was shocked. I was like, "Man, it's that broken."
For you know, my daughter is an EMT in New York City and when she transports certain people around into hospitals and such, she can see when there's different neighborhoods that have good communities. And she'll tell me, she'll say, "Dad, you know, these people are so great. When we dropped the person off or brought them in, there were three people here, four people there, people who advocate for them, advocate for this."
And some you see, you see nobody.
The state controls everything. We are there. We are absolutely there. So, keeping New [music] York a sanctuary city.
Bottom line, by refusing to reign in the NYPD, Zoron puts a lot of New York's most overpoliced and vulnerable communities at risk. See, >> this was already a bit of concern when he ran, but the fact that he backtracked.
>> Terry says, "This is so scary. Please keep this mess in New York. It could spread like wildfire." This is my point.
You need to help me become governor.
You're totally correct. Yes. Everything says, "No, Larry. They'll forget he was mayor." Just like Delasio. Delasio is getting blamed enough. You Yes, you're right. For those who don't know, Delasio was our mayor before Adams. He was a terrible mayor. He was a true believer just like Mom Dia was, but not as hardcore, but a true believer. He was a terrible mayor. And you're right, we we forgot him already.
>> You're not wrong. act on defunding the police and plan to keep Tish in charge was supposed to be balanced by things like the Department of Community Safety >> and that this is an appointment that I would make in tandem with delivering on the agenda that we put forward over the course of the primary. That's an agenda that will create a department of community safety. Yep.
>> But you might disagree what he's saying, but when you asked them, he said, "We'll do this, create that, create this." This is answers.
This is answers. I mean, they're garbage answers. Put their answers. What did Bruce Blakeman say? It's a scam.
What's your answer? You You get it? And he walked away. He didn't say, "We'll create this, create that, create this."
He didn't say that.
Sonia just asked about farmers. I gave you a bunch of answer right there.
He didn't say that.
That is an agenda that will ensure that we are dismantling the strategic response group as the way the NYPD responds to protests and it's agenda that understands that safety and justice have to be delivered together. The most important thing is that we ask >> Larry the irony and hypocrisy still stand there should be they should be arresting ex-president war criminals still walking around Clinton Bush agreed but none of them virtue signal like that Netanyahu is the perfect virtue signal.
It's a perfect road signal. So, you're not wrong. Like, Mike's not wrong. Just It doesn't The goal isn't justice, right? If the goal was justice, there'd be a lot of people getting arrested. You're right. The goal is justice. The goal is virtue signaling.
And this works perfectly. Roy says it.
It's brilliant marketing. Yes. If the dollar stays and pays, man wins. If the dollars go, things don't go well, well, blame the dollars. Done.
true >> officers to do the work of policing as opposed to now we're asking them to also take on the homelessness crisis, the mental health crisis, so many different examples of the failures of the social safety net. That's going to be the focus of the Department of Community Safety.
>> If Tish wasn't going anywhere, at least cops would be less of a nuisance.
>> But so far, the SRG is still there. Tish is still beating on protesters and the homeless. And the DCS is little more than an office with no budget.
>> Also true. Now, I'll admit we're still in the early days, and I hope I'm proven wrong. But things like this hint at a bigger problem. We knew the minute got into office, he'd have to contend with the establishment, establishment, Democrats, New York's elite.
>> Remember when Trump came into play, what did I say?
This is exactly the same. I said, "Guys, don't be mad at Trump if he doesn't give you what you want." Exactly. He has to deal with the establishment. The est Republican establishment still existed.
Trump was the rebel and when Trump came and I told you guys, look, you can't expect all the things. He still has to deal with the establishment. It's not gone, right? He won. Trump won and has power and with with a good win, you get, you know, a bit of grace. Absolutely, you can make moves, but you still got to deal with the establishment. They haven't gone away. Mom down in the left, the lefties are like, you can't. This guy is saying the same thing I'm saying, but but him on the left. It's so funny to see the parallel >> holdovers from the last administration.
No one expected the mayor of a single city, no matter how committed he >> Do you have see how I often say the left and the right when they have rebels are the same. They have similar issues. They fall back towards trying to stop the establishment >> was or how big that city is to deliver a socialist transformation overnight free of any resistance or compromise. I'll even say that the way Zorhan has worked with the establishment has been for the most part strategic and efficient.
>> He's not wrong. This is the part that I will say that right now he [snorts] Manni is doing better than Trump at this right now. Working with the establishment to get his pieces done.
And the reason why is Mani's right now 2016 Trump as I say all the time is a better communicator in 2016. He's been a terrible communicator in 2024. He's not been good. This second term, he's not been a good 2025. Not a good communicator. Mom Donnie is like Trump 2017, 2018. A much better communicator going to the people doing. Remember when Trump was doing what you're seeing here?
Trump was doing this. Not doing it anymore. Mom Donniey's doing this. Mom Donnie is getting the same. It's the same concept. Left versus right.
>> NYPD stuff notwithstanding. Compromising with Hochel delivered free child care and a luxury homes tax. Putting on a good show for Trump saved off the worst of ICE and reversed some deportations.
>> These compromises, Mamani is sticking to his word. His goal is delivering on his program so that New York can lead by example and can't be dismissed in future.
>> I showed you that so you can see how the left looks at it. He goes on later to to praise Mam Dani for the victories of the three people who won, which is true. Mam Dani is not losing. I bring this to you for a very important reason. Mom Donnie is not losing. If we don't find a way to fix this, Mom Don is going to keep winning for a while. He'll lose eventually, right? He'll lose eventually, but he's going to be doing this for a while. That's an issue. I think says people in lower income neighborhoods don't want to defund the police. We're not going to discover that. They don't care. It's not real.
That's the That's the point. It's talk.
He's not defunding the police. He's not going to do it. That's not the thing.
It He virtual signals it. He's not defunding the police. That's not a thing. Delasio kind of did. He took like a a billion dollars out of the but then put it back in. So Delasio did a little bit of dodging with it, but he ain't defunding the police. It's not a thing, man. I It's not It's not a thing. So, yes. Verona says, "This relates to the email I sent you. Defund police have two very different meanings between anarchist and love. Correct. Yes. Yeah.
Yeah. I completely agree and we'll cover that. I I think I may mix the show into that and also other security. I might I'm I'm talking to D about it the other day. I'm not sure where I'll go with it.
So yeah. Roy says, "Wow, she has to enforce." I know how horrible of her.
That's why he's keeping her, Roy, cuz he can talk the trash of defunding the police. He can talk that trash to keep the left, see, he wants to defund the police, but then keep someone who's not going to fun the police. This is both Republican and Democratic propaganda.
Democrats act like that so they can say, "See, we're defending the police.
Republicans are defending the police."
Neither is true. It's just talking trash. So, yes.
All right. Um, let's see. Ida Think says, "As a New Yorker, as a police commissioner, she's okay. Not good, but not bad." She's a decent police commissioner. I don't have a problem with her. I don't I know she's old.
She's pro Israel. Oh my god. I don't care if my police commissioner is pro Israel. I don't care. Be a good police commissioner. I don't care if you're pro Israel. I do not care. Means nothing to me. Don't care if you are. I don't care if you're not. Don't care if she hates Israel. Who cares loves Israel. Do not care. Enforce a law. We're good. Be a good police commissioner. I don't care what you think of Netanyahu. Means nothing to me. Don't care at all. So, yes. All right. Uh Kan says, "Uh, get this man what? Elected as governor of New York." Thank you.
All right. Um, let me walk down these words if I can.
All right. Phil says, uh, Ma should be the goal. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's a great stat. Ma's been the gym for a lot, though.
He's been He goes to the gym a lot. He spends a lot of time in a gym. Yes. I think says cops getting the homeless off the streets. Letting the homeless down on the streets. I know, but yes, that's the issue. John says, "Even when President Biden was letting everyone else in, Democrats were sending Cubans back to Cuba because they are mostly conservative." Oh, is that true? I didn't know that, John. I thought everyone was coming in. I did not realize there was a a separate piece with that. I did not know that. Yeah, I didn't know that. That's interesting for me. Or says farm to homeless. Why not farm to farm to shelter? Yes.
Farm too is the key. I completely farm to shelter. Sure, why not?
If you're going to have local people set up shelters, why not have local farmers support the shelters? It's a wonderful idea. Why is the government involved at all? No need. I completely agree with you, Ron. Broner, farmer shelter's wonderful.
What if you have farm to to shelter for people homeless or farm to shelter for women who are battered who want to bring their families? Now I got kids coming in because they're running away from their their their spouses. Give them some good food. Feed the kids. What's the problem?
Love it. Uh yes, yes, and yes. Oh yes. I think says Blake was going to get coffee and leave. You're not wrong. Yes.
Bronna says, "I listened to Lou because he and I want the same outcome on my Instagram path to get there.
Yes, absolutely.
Uh that's I think most New Yorkers want that. I do. I think most New Yorkers do.
Not all, but yes. Goes on say yes. Farm to better spouse health is why not?
I love it. I say I agree. Popular doesn't last forever. Yeah, it will takes it'll take a while, but he'll be popular for a while. The the problem of course is most people keep saying well they hate him. They don't hate him now.
They might hate him later, not now. You can just see it. You can just see it. It It takes time. And again, when people are unhappy, when people are angry, they will take they'll believe a lot of stuff.
They will believe a lot of stuff.
And yeah, when when when you're starving and someone hands out food, you don't care what armbands on that handing out food. You don't care if there's a swastika on it. You don't care if there's a a hammer and sickle. You don't care. You just want it, right? You just want it. That's the issue. So, I hope that makes sense.
