Speaker 1: New Yorkers.
Speaker 2: Taxi.
Speaker 1: I'm this is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast. It's
Speaker 1: the Joe Concha Tunnel to Towers Foundation Sunday Morning Show.
Speaker 1: Now here's Joe.
Speaker 2: Kancha and welcome everybody on this Sunday, August ninth. The
Speaker 2: summer going by quite fast? Can you believe that in
Speaker 2: twenty two days we will be in September. Fortunately it's
Speaker 2: a late labor day this year, so my kids don't
Speaker 2: go back to school at least until September eighth. But
Speaker 2: I have friends down south where the kids are already
Speaker 2: going back to school tomorrow. So I don't quite get
Speaker 2: that the hotter it is, the sooner you go back.
Speaker 2: But whatever, it's fine. Let's get to the fun stuff,
Speaker 2: shall we. And the fun stuff happened on Staten Island
Speaker 2: this week, as you may have heard so or am Memdannie.
Speaker 2: This is basically like going into I don't know Alabama
Speaker 2: or I guess these days Florida because Mmdannie, while he
Speaker 2: runs up the score during the election in places like Brooklyn,
Speaker 2: Staten Island ain't gonna be a friendly confine to him.
Speaker 2: And sure enough, but I have a philosophy around this,
Speaker 2: so First, let's play exactly what happened, which is what
Speaker 2: you would expect would happen, including members of the NYPD
Speaker 2: booing the sitting Mayor of New York off the stage
Speaker 2: as he smiled through the whole thing, of course, because that's.
Speaker 1: What he does.
Speaker 2: Cut number sixteen, go ah, yeah that whoa. I wouldn't
Speaker 2: be Staaten Island out a F bomb or twenty A. Right.
Speaker 2: I think we get the point there, people. So look,
Speaker 2: I think this is all I think he knows. He's
Speaker 2: not dumb Mendonni. He's dumb. He's illiterate when it comes
Speaker 2: to economic stuff. And oh yeah, he's going to bring
Speaker 2: down rent prices. And now we saw a report that
Speaker 2: says that rent is now at an all time high.
Speaker 2: He's the guy who says, okay, I'll make things more
Speaker 2: affordable in New York despite the fact there are thousands
Speaker 2: of places to buy food. I'm going to build five
Speaker 2: whole grocery stores run by the government. At they were
Speaker 2: supposed to be fifteen million dollars each to build, and
Speaker 2: now we're looking at numbers like forty forty five million,
Speaker 2: three times as much. And then he's artificially going to
Speaker 2: bring down prices, which if you're a bodega or you're
Speaker 2: some sort of food store. Let's say in East Harlem,
Speaker 2: for example, where the first government run food store is
Speaker 2: going to open, you're not happy about this because you
Speaker 2: now have competition where they can fix the game. So yeah,
Speaker 2: he's pissing off everybody who owns anything that sells food
Speaker 2: around here. He's going to artificially lower the prices. This
Speaker 2: has not worked, and everywhere from other US cities to
Speaker 2: the Soviet Union in Cuba Venezuela, we kind of precedent
Speaker 2: here around the whole government run grocery store thing. So
Speaker 2: when it comes to things like that, this guy has
Speaker 2: zero clue. He has zero clue how to bring free
Speaker 2: childcare to New York City obviously without taxing people, including
Speaker 2: raising property taxes by double digits. Right, And we're never
Speaker 2: going to see free bussing, even though he promised that
Speaker 2: as well, because again he talks a really good game,
Speaker 2: but as far as execution, no, it's just simply not
Speaker 2: going to happen. So yeah, he's dumb in that way
Speaker 2: where he's never held a job in his life, never
Speaker 2: even run a lemonade stand, But he is smart politically
Speaker 2: in the sense where he knows. I think that by
Speaker 2: going to Staten Island, he absolutely was going to be
Speaker 2: booed off that stage, and I think to his supporters
Speaker 2: that is a badge of honor to be booed by
Speaker 2: police officers, because secretly, not secretly, openly, he has said
Speaker 2: in the past that he hates these people. It's all
Speaker 2: on Twitter, no worry. You could read it where he
Speaker 2: called not just a couple of NYPD officers racist, but
Speaker 2: the entire department racist and anti queer. He wrote it.
Speaker 2: And if you think he somehow evolved on the issue
Speaker 2: and suddenly he loves the NYPD, uh huh. So he
Speaker 2: knew by going there and getting booed by the men
Speaker 2: in blue that this would be something among his supporters.
Speaker 2: The latte drinking, worthless degree holding white people liberals would say, great,
Speaker 2: good for you, Zoran's that's what we want. We're with you, man,
Speaker 2: You're a victim. Uh huh. So that that's my whole
Speaker 2: philosophy on what happened in Staten Island earlier this week. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: the Mendanni's, I guess, West Midwest Mendannie, I guess we
Speaker 2: could call him. That's the fake doctor asterisk Abdul l Sae,
Speaker 2: the guy who says he've saved more people than most
Speaker 2: doctors in the world despite not having you know, a
Speaker 2: medical license, but goes around calling himself a doctor. He's
Speaker 2: basically like Jill Biden with a beard. Now he is saying,
Speaker 2: and this guy is profoundly anti Semitic. He says that
Speaker 2: Israel should not exist. He also believes that Net and
Speaker 2: Yahoo should be thrown in prison. He's been Donnie, except
Speaker 2: he's running in Michigan. He's running state wide, which is
Speaker 2: a different deal than running it in a blue city.
Speaker 2: He's trying to win a state that Donald Trump won
Speaker 2: twice three times depending on who you talk to, and
Speaker 2: it probably isn't going to happen. I'll tell you why
Speaker 2: in a moment. But here is l si ed now actually,
Speaker 2: because he needs Jewish votes, suddenly is extending an olive branch,
Speaker 2: and it is rancid and is cut number eight go.
Speaker 3: I want to speak specifically to an issue that has
Speaker 3: been focused on in this race. To my Jewish American
Speaker 3: sisters and brothers, one of the most indelible memories of
Speaker 3: this campaign will have been the opportunity to break bread
Speaker 3: with you at Satar, to worship with you at schule,
Speaker 3: to embrace, to be embraced by you.
Speaker 2: Oh, and.
Speaker 3: Listening to sisters and brothers who said, you know, I
Speaker 3: want to join this movement because Apak doesn't for me,
Speaker 3: because I understand that self determination for one people does
Speaker 3: not require the quenching of self determination for another people,
Speaker 3: that unless all of us are free, none of us
Speaker 3: are free. I want to tell you the great gift
Speaker 3: that you've given me, and to all of my sisters
Speaker 3: and brothers of the Jewish faith or any faith at all,
Speaker 3: or no faith at all, I want you to know
Speaker 3: that my commitment to your safety, my commitment to Jewish safety,
Speaker 3: is the same commitment that I have to the safety
Speaker 3: of my own daughters. Because if there is one philosophy that.
Speaker 2: We're good, we get the point, right, my Jewish brothers
Speaker 2: and sisters.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 2: Here's what he said in twenty eighteen quote, you might
Speaker 2: not hate Muslims, but Muslims definitely hate you. Uh oh.
Speaker 2: That sounds anti Semitic when you say that to Jewish people.
