This is outrageous. This is. 30 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:27.400 To violate your own rules without going by the mandates 31 00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:28.560 of the parliamentary. 32 00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.680 This is unbelievable. There's a way to do this. 33 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.079 If you want to force this through, if you want 34 00:01:35.120 --> 00:01:37.879 to ram this through, there's a way to do it 35 00:01:37.959 --> 00:01:42.000 in accordance to the rules as spelled out by the parliamentarian. 36 00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:46.760 It is simple, it is clear. There's a pathway to 37 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:48.560 achieve what you're trying to achieve. 38 00:01:49.280 --> 00:01:51.519 I am inspiring this, yeah. 39 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:53.719 I mean, look, I think that's one surprised me a bit. 40 00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:57.599 Because of all these complaints online going after Trump and 41 00:01:57.640 --> 00:01:59.760 the ex tinfage. You might think as the prov ratings 42 00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:02.920 were going going down with Republicans. If anything, they're going 43 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.359 on Republicans who approve of Trump. Look at our CNN poll, 44 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:07.280 the prior one eighty six percent, the one out this 45 00:02:07.359 --> 00:02:10.479 week eighty eight percent with Republicans. How about quinnipiex fire 46 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:13.840 poll eighty seven percent approval of Republicans this week out 47 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.759 ninety percent with Republicans. If anything, Donald Trump's approval rating 48 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:21.039 has gone up since his whole Epstein shaga started. He 49 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:24.520 is at the apex or close there too in terms 50 00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.520 of his popularity with Republican voters. Epstein files, complaints or not? 51 00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:39.879 How want you this? Can I take my friends? Welcome? 52 00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:42.560 It is the Thursday edition of Boss Lee's Rush Hour. 53 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:49.000 He fastest out in American media. Spartagas drama continue today. 54 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:53.879 He's such a drama Mamo. 55 00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:00.599 Cory book Senator Corey Booker once on's yet having a 56 00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:01.800 spartag this moment? 57 00:03:02.919 --> 00:03:04.719 Oh that? 58 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:07.319 And then of course there's the Epstein stuff that just 59 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.159 won't go away. 60 00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:09.400 There are more. 61 00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:13.639 Questions about that today. Welcome indeed to most earlies Rushower. 62 00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.520 The Senate Judiciary Committee today advanced the nomination of Emil Bove, 63 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:22.280 President Trump's former defense lawyer, top Justice Department official, to 64 00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.960 serve as a judge on the US Court of Appeals 65 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:29.680 for the Third Circuit. That is what led to the 66 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:36.800 Corey Booker meltdown today. They what the Democrats wanted to 67 00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.520 do was just bring somebody in this whistle blower to 68 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.479 smear him. Now, come on, any of you that have 69 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.840 watched Judicial nomination in Supreme Court or otherwise know the 70 00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:52.159 Democrat playbook, find somebody to dirty up the witness, I 71 00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:54.919 mean to dirty up the nominee, to smear him with 72 00:03:55.000 --> 00:03:57.080 all kinds of stuff. And in this case they got 73 00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.680 this so called whistleblower who said that both uh pretty 74 00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:04.280 much stuck his middle finger up at the court and 75 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:06.759 was saying that Trump ought to just tell the courts 76 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:09.840 to go f off when it comes to these you know, 77 00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.280 district courts trying to block him under the Alien Sedition Act, 78 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:19.439 the Wartime Aliens Enemies Act, and they wanted to bring 79 00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:22.839 this guy in uh Ravigne or something like that. 80 00:04:23.040 --> 00:04:23.480 RAI. 81 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:28.519 He wrote a report that during one meeting Trump about 82 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:35.319 the Trump's proclamation invoking the Wartime Alien Enemies Act, that 83 00:04:35.439 --> 00:04:38.240 mister Bow said that the Justice Department would need to 84 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:44.800 consider telling the courts fu if a judicial order block 85 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:48.040 removes under the law. So Democrats wanted to bring this 86 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:54.399 guy in the dirty up denomination. Also, by the way, Jeanette, Jeannette, 87 00:04:55.040 --> 00:05:00.839 you know, I'm just having a block. He was nominated 88 00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:07.399 to and and the nominations went through, Okay, so that's 89 00:05:08.040 --> 00:05:11.560 what happened. But Corey Booker and of course that woman, 90 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:16.319 that dreadful, dreadful senator from Hawaii. 91 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:17.879 Having kyles. 92 00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.519 Let's just quickly go after the after they all the 93 00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:24.480 Democrats got up, walked out, had their little hissy fit. 94 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:28.480 When when when? When? When when we couldn't smear him up? When? 95 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:28.680 When? 96 00:05:28.720 --> 00:05:29.279 When? When? 97 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:29.480 When? 98 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:32.639 So very quickly, I don't even know whether we'll listen 99 00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.600 to the whole thing. Cut seventeen Booker and then cut 100 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.680 eighteen Maizie Herono. Just let's fire them all all that 101 00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:40.399 you get it. 102 00:05:40.480 --> 00:05:42.560 I just walked out of the Senate Juduciary Committee for 103 00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:46.399 what is spoke to me the most unimaginable thing that happened. 104 00:05:47.480 --> 00:05:51.399 They cut off any debate or any discussion. Our job 105 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:55.800 is to deliberate. Our job is to put from each other. 106 00:05:56.639 --> 00:05:59.079 They cut off all debate, rammed through the cut off 107 00:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.439 people walked out as I out there, We're going to 108 00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.959 appeal to the conscience of my fellow Senate. 109 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.720 Number him already. I'm done. Let's hear Herona wine. 110 00:06:12.160 --> 00:06:16.199 I'm still steaming. You could see the smoke coming out 111 00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:20.160 of my head. I wish you could, because I just 112 00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:21.240 walked out along with. 113 00:06:21.240 --> 00:06:28.319 The committee where we were basically totally ignored and expressing 114 00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:30.680 our concerns about one of the Trump nominees for a 115 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:35.639 lifetime support. His name is Bob and he is a 116 00:06:35.839 --> 00:06:40.160 complete loyalist to Trump, has nothing else going for him, 117 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.759 basically except that he's a very dangerous person. So we 118 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:48.040 wanted to express our concerns and to say, mister Chairman, 119 00:06:48.759 --> 00:06:50.800 don't ignore the rules of our own committee. 120 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:53.120 Let us all speak. That is how this committee has 121 00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:57.920 always conducted itself. But those days apparently are gone, and so. 122 00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:01.560 This so smear. 123 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.279 There're enough of higher We've always been able to smear 124 00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:07.399 the Republicans, and Chuck Grastley didn't let us do it today, 125 00:07:07.600 --> 00:07:07.920 and so. 126 00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.680 He's evil, he's so mean. Did bite the woolves? 127 00:07:13.839 --> 00:07:16.639 They wouldn't then smear and try to dirty up one 128 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.319 of one of Trump's he's he's a loyalist both he's 129 00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:29.639 a loyalist to Trump. Democrats Ginette Pirou was the other, 130 00:07:30.040 --> 00:07:33.480 and they and the votes were passed a bunch of judges. 131 00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:35.560 They just wanted to roll through them the same way 132 00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.360 Biden rolled through them. Democrats do when they're on off. 133 00:07:38.399 --> 00:07:41.160 They just go ahead and just vote, vote, vote, voter. 134 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.319 It's like a voter rama. 135 00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.360 There are always these stunts from Democrats, so I'm not 136 00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:51.360 gonna waste any more time with it because the stunt 137 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:57.120 didn't work, and so you get the drama, drama, drama. 138 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.439 There is other news out here, of course, you know 139 00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:09.519 by now that the PBS and NPR have been defunded 140 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:14.160 at least for a year, about the GOP Senate has 141 00:08:14.279 --> 00:08:18.720 voted to cancel nine billion dollars in funding for Foreign Aid. 142 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:21.759 I had a discussion with a very dear friend of 143 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:25.240 mine yesterday about foreign Aid, and I didn't put it 144 00:08:25.319 --> 00:08:29.000 in the sound bite roster. Today there was a wolf Blitzer, 145 00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.159 I think it was that somebody on CNN interviewing somebody 146 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:39.240 else claiming that fourteen million people are going to die 147 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:46.440 because us AID is no longer sending money to certain places. 148 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:51.639 And my reaction to that, look, I mean, everybody wants 149 00:08:51.919 --> 00:08:54.399 to do good and to do good things in the world. 150 00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.480 At the same time, you never hear from these same 151 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:06.879 news sources how thoroughly corrupt USAID as an agency has been. 152 00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:12.080 In fact, John Kennedy did Senator John Kennedy, let me say, 153 00:09:12.159 --> 00:09:14.960 for yes, we do have it, and we won't listen 154 00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:17.279 to all of this, And I'm sorry, I'm cutting things 155 00:09:17.279 --> 00:09:20.399 off before they complete, folks. But we just have so 156 00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:22.000 much and I'm going to get to it as much 157 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:25.039 as possible. Twenty four. It's what you're looking for, Jonas, 158 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:27.919 But you got to follow along because this is all 159 00:09:27.960 --> 00:09:31.240 stream of consciousness. I hadn't intended on doing this one yet, 160 00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:35.399 but John Kennedy spoke about these cuts and what some 161 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:38.679 of the stuff us AID was doing. So you had 162 00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.600 the recision bill yesterday. Senate signed on to it. It 163 00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:45.200 has to be voted on by the House by the 164 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.200 end of business tomorrow, otherwise this is not gonna happen. 165 00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:51.559 So it goes back to the House. And the whining 166 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:57.000 and the moaning over PBS and NPR is laughable. A 167 00:09:57.120 --> 00:10:01.279 billion dollars and they're won moaning it's the end of 168 00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:06.120 the world. Oh, America's facing such severe risk because we 169 00:10:06.200 --> 00:10:08.879 won't be able to get our alerts.

There is a and I want to 251 00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:36.519 play a sound bite when we get back from our 252 00:16:36.559 --> 00:16:40.879 next break that I'm weighing long and hard. I weigh 253 00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:43.000 long and hard whether I should do this because this 254 00:16:43.120 --> 00:16:48.000 might require a longer explanation for me than I have 255 00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:54.080 time to do. But it ties in with this story 256 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.399 in a way. The Justice Department is now asking a 257 00:16:57.559 --> 00:17:01.879 one day sentence for the police officer convicted into Brionna 258 00:17:01.919 --> 00:17:05.839 Taylor Raid now Briwna Taylor, as you may know we 259 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:10.440 may remember was killed in a drug raid that produced 260 00:17:10.480 --> 00:17:11.480 no drugs out of her house. 261 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:12.880 She was an EMT worker. 262 00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:18.920 This officer fired shots blindly through her patio door window. 263 00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:24.880 Some went into a neighbor's apartment. He was put to 264 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:28.480 trial multiple times on this, and Joe Biden's administration really 265 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:29.599 wanted to go after him. 266 00:17:30.960 --> 00:17:31.920 A harmyat Dylon. 267 00:17:32.000 --> 00:17:35.880 I love harmat Dylon, but she's asking now for time 268 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:38.279 served in one day, and this is going to cost 269 00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:41.920 some upset. And by the way, I don't agree with 270 00:17:41.960 --> 00:17:45.440 this decision, this one day plus time served, but. 271 00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:49.839 This ties into a larger. 272 00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:55.559 Issue about how the Trump administration is being perceived by 273 00:17:55.680 --> 00:17:58.000 minorities in this country. And I'm going to try to 274 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.680 tackle a little bit of that maybe if we have 275 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:01.400 some time. 276 00:18:01.559 --> 00:18:05.720 Don't go away The Rush Hour with James Golden, entertaining 277 00:18:05.880 --> 00:18:09.680 and informative on the Red Apple Podcast Network. 278 00:18:14.559 --> 00:18:16.599 Nineteen seven, nineteen sixty seven. 279 00:18:16.680 --> 00:18:21.680 My friends, On this day, one of the greatest musicians 280 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:28.319 who ever lived passed away, John Coltrane, American jazz saxophonist. 281 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:36.519 He changed everything his playing, his knowledge of the instrument, 282 00:18:37.759 --> 00:18:43.920 and his experimentation into avant garde. Nobody is like Coltrane 283 00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:48.759 will be like Coltrane, except Coltrane passed away at age 284 00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:54.039 forty on this day in nineteen sixty seventy.

It is absolutely fantastic to 290 00:19:09.599 --> 00:19:13.160 have a president who is fighting for the American people 291 00:19:13.160 --> 00:19:16.160 in Congress who is delivering and I think as a 292 00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:18.759 country we are definitely going in the right direction. 293 00:19:20.680 --> 00:19:23.400 Let me ask you about this. We have elections coming up, 294 00:19:23.480 --> 00:19:27.000 and Chairman, I want to speak with you multiple multiple 295 00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:28.000 times before the elections. 296 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.519 But we have the off year election coming up now. 297 00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:32.599 A lot of the focus is on New York with 298 00:19:32.680 --> 00:19:36.559 the socialist last Communist that's running in that race and 299 00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:40.240 getting a lot of attention. But New Jersey has a 300 00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:43.880 major election coming up too, and I would love it 301 00:19:43.920 --> 00:19:45.960 if you could just speak to that and tell us 302 00:19:46.119 --> 00:19:47.799 what's going on with that race. 303 00:19:48.799 --> 00:19:51.160 Well, i'll tell you what. I'm calling you from New Jersey. 304 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.359 I actually am going to be doing a couple of 305 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:57.039 events here to support Jack Chiarelli, who is a change 306 00:19:57.079 --> 00:20:01.960 agent that New Jersey absolutely desperate needs. And we are 307 00:20:02.039 --> 00:20:08.240 going to be here the GOP with investments and participation 308 00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.240 in New Jersey because this is so absolutely important for us. 309 00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:14.519 You know, when you think about New Jersey right now, 310 00:20:14.759 --> 00:20:16.759 you know they've got the highest taxes in the country. 311 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.680 They've got, you know, the forty ninth out of fifty 312 00:20:19.680 --> 00:20:23.240 in terms of competitiveness anywhere in the country. The schools 313 00:20:23.279 --> 00:20:26.799 are failing. More than half the voters here, well more 314 00:20:26.839 --> 00:20:29.079 than half the voters are saying that the state is 315 00:20:29.119 --> 00:20:31.160 headed in the wrong direction and that the needs of 316 00:20:31.200 --> 00:20:35.000 major change, and Jack Chittarelli is the guy who's going 317 00:20:35.039 --> 00:20:36.079 to be able to deliver that. 318 00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:41.200 What do you look, let me ask you, why is 319 00:20:41.319 --> 00:20:44.640 New Jersey, even with everything that you just said about 320 00:20:44.640 --> 00:20:48.519 the electorate their unhappiness the taxes has been an issue 321 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.799 for as long as I can remember. These schools they have, 322 00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:56.160 I think, if I'm correct, New Jersey has more school 323 00:20:56.200 --> 00:21:00.759 districts than almost any state in this nation, and yet 324 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:03.880 they're still failing in delivering quality education to a lot 325 00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:08.119 of the kids, particularly in the inner cities in New Jersey. 326 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:10.720 Why is this even a competitive race. 327 00:21:12.119 --> 00:21:15.960 You know, New Jersey historically is just definitely a blue state. 328 00:21:16.039 --> 00:21:19.799 There are more registered Democrats than there are Republicans in 329 00:21:19.839 --> 00:21:22.720 this state. And for you to win as a Republican, 330 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.359 you really need to be able to break through and 331 00:21:25.440 --> 00:21:29.200 talk about the issues that you know, the voters care about. 332 00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.799 And that's really what Jack is bringing to the table. 333 00:21:31.839 --> 00:21:35.759 You know, Mikey Cheryl has doubled down on the same 334 00:21:35.839 --> 00:21:40.000 failed policies that the Democrats lost on in twenty twenty four. 335 00:21:40.359 --> 00:21:44.440 She is an absolutely down the line to Democrat voter. 336 00:21:44.759 --> 00:21:48.920 She supported President Biden and his agenda. She supports the 337 00:21:48.960 --> 00:21:52.200 woke agenda, she supports men and women's sports, she supports 338 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:56.079 inflationary spending, she supports a week America, you know, and 339 00:21:56.119 --> 00:21:58.039 she is not going to be able to bring any 340 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:01.119 change to the direction that the state is going in. 341 00:22:01.519 --> 00:22:05.400 So it really is an opportunity for Jack to kind 342 00:22:05.400 --> 00:22:08.000 of come through and have that conversation with the voters 343 00:22:08.400 --> 00:22:11.599 about the change that they're looking for. And he's going 344 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:14.400 to win it because he's in a position to talk 345 00:22:14.440 --> 00:22:16.480 to them and put solutions on the table. 346 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:19.640 All right, let me ask you where can people go 347 00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:23.119 come help that in New Jersey that want to see 348 00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:26.480 this happen. What should people do, something tangible that they 349 00:22:26.519 --> 00:22:30.079 can do to put some energy toward a change in 350 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:30.680 New Jersey. 351 00:22:31.559 --> 00:22:34.000 Yeah, there's a couple of different things that I would suggest, 352 00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:37.000 and the first is is go to Jack's website and 353 00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:42.079 sign up right volunteer right now. Because in order to 354 00:22:42.160 --> 00:22:45.519 win in a battleground state, and I consider at this 355 00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:48.799 point New Jersey to be a battleground state, you really 356 00:22:48.799 --> 00:22:50.839 need to do three things. You got to have a 357 00:22:50.880 --> 00:22:55.079 great candidate who runs a great race, no substitute for 358 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.720 that whatsoever. Secondly, you got to get out the vote, 359 00:22:57.839 --> 00:23:00.680 and thirty got to protect the ballot. Right from the 360 00:23:00.799 --> 00:23:04.000 rnc's perspective, working with the New Jersey Party and of 361 00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.079 course with Jack's campaign, we are all about getting out 362 00:23:07.079 --> 00:23:10.000 the vote and protecting the ballot. So we need people 363 00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:11.920 who are going to make phone calls, who are going 364 00:23:12.000 --> 00:23:13.920 to knock on doors, who are going to help us 365 00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:16.920 get literature out to the voters, and most importantly, have 366 00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:20.720 that ultra critical five minute conversation with a friend or 367 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:24.119 a family member, a colleague or a coworker to talk 368 00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:27.480 to them about why even if they're a Democrat, they 369 00:23:27.519 --> 00:23:30.200 need to cross over and they need to vote for change. 370 00:23:30.400 --> 00:23:32.240 And the last thing that we need to do is 371 00:23:32.319 --> 00:23:35.240 protect the ballot. So I'm in New Jersey tonight. We've 372 00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:39.279 got an election integrity workshop where we are recruiting and 373 00:23:39.359 --> 00:23:43.240 training volunteers so that we can have Republicans in every 374 00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:47.160 single precinct any time that a vote is cast or accounted. 375 00:23:47.359 --> 00:23:50.440 We want to be in the room that. 376 00:23:50.720 --> 00:23:53.880 This is something that people can really do to get 377 00:23:53.880 --> 00:23:56.799 behind this effort. These are all great tangible steps. And 378 00:23:56.839 --> 00:23:59.079 you know what I just noticed about this. You didn't 379 00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:02.160 even talk about money. You didn't talk with the usual thing, 380 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:05.240 Oh God, have money. No, you're talking about things that 381 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.039 people can do, actions that they can take to move 382 00:24:08.440 --> 00:24:11.599 the ball forward. Let me quickly ask you just your 383 00:24:11.720 --> 00:24:14.920 thoughts overall on what's happening across the Hudson River in 384 00:24:15.039 --> 00:24:15.839 New York City. 385 00:24:20.200 --> 00:24:23.559 Well, I think right now, there we go. Yeah. So look, 386 00:24:23.599 --> 00:24:26.720 I mean what we're watching right now is you know 387 00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:30.000 Zoron Mamdani, who is the new face of the Democratic Party, 388 00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:33.319 who is leading that party even further to the left 389 00:24:33.480 --> 00:24:36.680 than they were in twenty twenty four. The Democrats across 390 00:24:36.720 --> 00:24:39.440 the country are doubling down on the same fel agenda 391 00:24:39.480 --> 00:24:43.200 that they lost on. They want inflationary spending, they want 392 00:24:43.200 --> 00:24:46.440 open borders, they want a week America. And when we 393 00:24:46.519 --> 00:24:49.559 look at you know where that party is going as 394 00:24:49.559 --> 00:24:54.720 a whole, it is really Zoron Mondani is about where 395 00:24:54.759 --> 00:24:56.799 you're going to end up. And I think the fact 396 00:24:56.839 --> 00:24:59.920 that all of the rest of the Democratic Party is 397 00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.960 putting their arm around him, they are kissing his ring, 398 00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:05.799 they are following his lead. And you know, I don't 399 00:25:05.799 --> 00:25:10.200 think that the New York business community wants a communist. 400 00:25:10.240 --> 00:25:13.640 I don't think that the New York Jewish community wants 401 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.640
