We've been talking about obviously the 10 00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:35,280 New York City mayor's mayoral primary, the Democrat primary where 11 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:41,159 this ge hottist adjacent communist guy one in a rank 12 00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:43,719 choice voting system. I want to welcome back to the 13 00:00:43,759 --> 00:00:47,399 program Stacy Matthews. You can read her work at RedState 14 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,200 dot com. Stacy, how are you, hey? 15 00:00:50,359 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: Pete? Saying cool today. 16 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: As best I can. Yeah, I mean, I'm inside this 17 00:00:55,399 --> 00:00:58,960 meat locker that we call a studio. Apparently when it 18 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,600 gets really hot outside, the ac just goes crazy and 19 00:01:01,799 --> 00:01:04,000 just wants to keep it at like forty degrees. So 20 00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,480 I'm doing okay. I hope you are as well. So 21 00:01:07,719 --> 00:01:10,000 You've just got a piece that posted up at RedState 22 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:16,480 dot com about this mayor's race outcome, this primary outcome, 23 00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,560 and we've been kind of going over all the different angles, 24 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,400 but you raised an angle that I haven't talked about 25 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,719 at all, which is that one of the biggest losers, 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,120 well just in general, but also of this race, Chuck 27 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:35,159 Schumer in New York. So walk us through where this 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,519 connection comes from, right. 29 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 2: Well, Pete, as you know, Schuber has been under fire 30 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,120 from his party for many months now. He's not viewed 31 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,719 by the Democrat Party as somebody who is a strong 32 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:53,120 enough resistance leader against Donald Trump, but he's kind of 33 00:01:53,159 --> 00:01:56,719 been in their crossfairs. And after he kind of caved 34 00:01:56,879 --> 00:02:01,040 on the support of the Continuing Resolution in March, there 35 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,319 was open talk among Democrats, even someone on the House side, 36 00:02:05,519 --> 00:02:08,159 of Schumer being primary. Now he's not up for reelection 37 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,919 until twenty twenty eight, he is going to run again. 38 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:15,639 But that got to people talking about Alexandria Ocostio Cortes 39 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,599 possibly throwing her hat into the race. Now, she has 40 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,800 not said one way or the other what she'll do, 41 00:02:21,879 --> 00:02:26,120 but she hasn't ruled it out. And with this communist 42 00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:29,719 and anti Semitic communist who won the race yesterday in 43 00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:32,879 New York, City. A lot of people are now thinking, hey, 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,479 this is a big warning sign for Schumer. This radical 45 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:42,280 who AOZ endorsed can win the primary in New York City. 46 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,879 What does that say for Schumer's chances in twenty twenty 47 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:48,960 eight if she decided she wanted to run, so in effect, 48 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,280 he was kind of the biggest loser. I mean, there's 49 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,479 some variables here, Pete that we need to look at 50 00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,520 to you know, is all of New York like the 51 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:02,439 Big Apple? No it's not, but New York and previous 52 00:03:02,479 --> 00:03:05,599 election cycles has kind of seen a trend of sorts 53 00:03:05,599 --> 00:03:09,120 where they are going for anti establishment types. They're throwing 54 00:03:09,159 --> 00:03:13,240 out the entrenched politicos and putting in woke to this. 55 00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:17,840 On the left, theo are more confrontational about their politics. 56 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:20,879 Speaker 1: Well and to that point, and I've mentioned this pulling 57 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,199 several times over the last couple of weeks since it 58 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:27,240 came out, where you saw like seventy percent of Democrat 59 00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:34,080 voters that were disapproving of their party, and that that's 60 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:38,560 like a historic number, a historic low for Democrats. Support 61 00:03:38,599 --> 00:03:42,919 among Democrats and the number one reason why they disapprove 62 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,919 of their party is because they don't fight Trump hard 63 00:03:46,039 --> 00:03:50,560 enough and that's when we started seeing the you know, 64 00:03:50,639 --> 00:03:54,599 the staged arrests of the Democrat you know, members of 65 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:58,479 Congress going and getting themselves arrested and using cuss words 66 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,479 all the time. So this way they can and sort 67 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,759 of project this image that I'm doing all I can. Look, 68 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,319 I even got arrested for you. Like, I believe those 69 00:04:06,319 --> 00:04:10,639 things are directly connected. And you know, Schumer out there 70 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,599 trying to lead this resistance. And like you said, the 71 00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,160 guy is old. He's going to be even older if 72 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:19,240 he tries to run again in twenty eight. And I 73 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,519 think there's just not a lot of appetite anymore for 74 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,199 these you know, octagenarian old leaders in the Democrat Party, 75 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:32,000 particularly in the wake of Joe Biden and you know 76 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,759 Hillary Clinton. They want somebody new, and you know, they've 77 00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:42,240 they've built their movement on these youth voters, these college educated, affluent, 78 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,480 you know, white female liberals, the awfuls, and there's no 79 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:48,199 reason to think that they're not going to think that 80 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,360 this is their time, right. 81 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: And with Schumer, he seems to kind of see, in 82 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,680 my view, he kind of sees the writing on the 83 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,600 wall here. He didn't make an endorsement in this primary 84 00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,240 I mean, Schumer is the most powerful Jewish elected official 85 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,519 in America, being the Senate minor Senate Minority Leader, and 86 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,879 he did not endorse in the race, and it was 87 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,879 probably because Andrew Kumo is a terrible candidate. I don't 88 00:05:15,879 --> 00:05:18,120 think anybody in New York really liked him anymores of 89 00:05:18,199 --> 00:05:21,360 the thirty percent or so who voted for him yesterday. 90 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:26,680 But the person who won the primary last night is 91 00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,720 anti Semitic. Schumer is Jewish. But Schumer is trying to 92 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:38,040 build a bridge with Zorron Mam Donnie. He tweeted today 93 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,560 that he has known him since they worked together on 94 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,040 various projects in New York City, New York State, and 95 00:05:45,079 --> 00:05:47,480 he said he spoke with him recently and he's looking 96 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,040 forward to getting together soon. So how much groveling are 97 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,920 we going to see here from the most powerful Jewish 98 00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,680 leader in America towards this anti Semitic the new version 99 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,160 of AOC. This is going to be very interesting to 100 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,680 see play out. And I feel like he's going to 101 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,839 try to walk that pipe wrote between being a proud 102 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,680 Jewish American and coddling the anti Semitic left, which Democrats 103 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,680 have had problems with over the last what ten years 104 00:06:17,759 --> 00:06:17,920 or so. 105 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, in particularly since October seventh, twenty twenty three, 106 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,680 they cannot control this radical element in their base. And 107 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,800 I think it's because it's a very large element in 108 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,120 their base. But I said this earlier in the program, 109 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,240 but this is like what we saw and the voting, 110 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,600 the breakdown of the voters in New York City, and 111 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,319 where this guy, ma'am Donnie, I always got to read 112 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,560 his name because I cannot remember Zorn Mamdanni. Where he 113 00:06:48,639 --> 00:06:51,680 pulled his support from were from sort of the overly 114 00:06:51,879 --> 00:06:57,519 educated Nepo babies, you know, Trustafarian kids and the you know, 115 00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,879 the college educated degree and wealthy and like that's and 116 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:07,319 these people obviously they're either voting because it's a virtue 117 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:11,240 signal or they're on board with his messaging. And his 118 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:16,480 messaging is radical and it's anti American, it's anti capitalists. 119 00:07:16,879 --> 00:07:20,199 And so that's what you get though, when you raise 120 00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:25,240 up generations in a K twelve education system that tells 121 00:07:25,279 --> 00:07:28,279 the kids that America is the oppressor, the root of 122 00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:32,160 all the evil, institutionally racist and homophobic and Islamophobic and 123 00:07:32,199 --> 00:07:35,879 everything else. So yes, they're they're they're susceptible to this 124 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:40,959 messaging because guys like Schumer taught them to be this way. 125 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 2: Right, and and even those Democrats who specifically did not 126 00:07:49,519 --> 00:07:54,600 come out and show support for the radical anti Semitic 127 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:59,000 people in Congress, like Ilan Omar and Rashida Salave, a 128 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,240 lot of them either turn the other cheek or they 129 00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:05,160 just kind of downplayed it. You know, I understand your 130 00:08:05,199 --> 00:08:09,480 concerns kind of downplaying. So you know, even for people, 131 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,360 even the people who are who are not the quote 132 00:08:15,439 --> 00:08:18,439 radicals in the Democrat Party that they've done the party 133 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,720 no favors either by not speaking out more forcefully against 134 00:08:21,759 --> 00:08:26,680 these types of people, and in effect it's condoned the 135 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,839 rise of anti Semitism in the Democrat Party, and then 136 00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:33,840 with this person's ascension to leadership in New York City, 137 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,679 it's only going to get worse. And it's astonishing to me, Pete. 138 00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,360 I mean, I think it was predictable in some ways. 139 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:42,559 You kind of saw like over the last two or 140 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,840 three weeks there seemed to be kind of a momentum 141 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,840 shift in his direction. But it's still nevertheless astonishing to me. 142 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,000 New York City has the most Jewish people living there 143 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,759 in the world, including Israel. There's more people Jewish people 144 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,639 living in New York City than Israel and a majority 145 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:07,240 of the Democrats, which are a majority of the voters 146 00:09:07,279 --> 00:09:11,799 in New York City. They just picked an anti Semitic 147 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,399 guy to leave it just blog off the mind. I 148 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:19,200 can't wrap my brain around it. I cannot wrap my 149 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:19,879 brain around it. 150 00:09:19,919 --> 00:09:24,879 Speaker 1: Well, and get this too, this communist is now going 151 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,679 to be in charge of the largest financial capital in America, 152 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:34,360 like right, Like, Charlotte better be recruiting heavily from Wall Street, 153 00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:38,559 you know, get those bankers out of out of New 154 00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:41,240 York City and have them come down to Charlotte and 155 00:09:41,279 --> 00:09:44,519 make their way here. We're much more you know, we're 156 00:09:44,519 --> 00:09:46,679 the second largest right now. Maybe we could be the first. 157 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,799 Maybe we could be number one and take this mantle 158 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,639 from New York City. I would love for that to happen. 159 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,080 That would be fantastic. Although we've got some problems in 160 00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:57,399 Charlotte City Council here too, So that's the problems here. 161 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 2: We also don't want to bring in more problems with this. 162 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,960 Did liberals coming down here from New York City, So 163 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:04,159 don't say that too loud. 164 00:10:04,519 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: Well, I did say we have to have a strict 165 00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:11,600 screening process, right, we would have to screen them, maybe 166 00:10:11,639 --> 00:10:14,399 at the border of Virginia like that. You don't get 167 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,919 an entry into the North Carolina unless we asked you 168 00:10:16,919 --> 00:10:19,159 a couple of questions, pull your voter card, that sort 169 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:19,440 of thing. 170 00:10:19,519 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: So jippy. I have to wonder too about how much 171 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,840 exactly did the voters who voted for this person actually 172 00:10:27,879 --> 00:10:30,519 know about him. There was another one of my colleagues 173 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,639 at Red State, Bob Hog. He wrote last night about 174 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,000 the election results in New York City. And there was 175 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,240 someone who posted a screen grab on Twitter last night 176 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:45,720 about people in New York who started googling what socialism 177 00:10:45,919 --> 00:10:50,039 was after the polls closed, right after the polls closed, 178 00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,679 not before, but after. 179 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: So it's a little. 180 00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: Late to be doing that and to be second guessing yourself, isn't. 181 00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: It, Unless let's we can you know, fingers crossed. Those 182 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,279 are the people who did not vote in the primary. 183 00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:06,159 May like that might be you know, maybe the glasses 184 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,559 half full. Maybe people were like, holy crap, who just 185 00:11:09,639 --> 00:11:12,759 won that primary? And then they're they're googling who this 186 00:11:12,799 --> 00:11:15,559 guy is, like what is a Democrat? Socialist? And then 187 00:11:15,919 --> 00:11:17,600 now they're like, holy cow, I'm gonna have to go 188 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:20,639 vote in the general election in November, so maybe like 189 00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:23,480 maybe that could be the that could be the explanation. 190 00:11:24,279 --> 00:11:26,200 Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see how that general 191 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,360 election goes, Pete, after you've been following it, because not 192 00:11:29,399 --> 00:11:32,559 only do we have, you know, the anti Semitic candidate, 193 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,120 now we also have Andrew Klumo has not ruled out 194 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,240 a rogue general election candidacy, which he can do. New 195 00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:45,840 York's election laws are kind of interesting. Eric Adams is 196 00:11:45,879 --> 00:11:48,000 also going to be in it. He's the current mayor 197 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,840 and he is going to be running as an independent. 198 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,600 So this is going to be a very interesting general election, 199 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,480 and I think it's going to tell us about the 200 00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,960 future of New York City for years to come. Are 201 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,759 they really going to head over the cliff or they're 202 00:12:01,759 --> 00:12:04,200 going to pull back just in time. It's going to 203 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:07,759 be very interesting to see play out. And just you know, 204 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,960 to remind your listeners and my and our readers at 205 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,039 RedState dot com, the reason we talk so much about 206 00:12:14,039 --> 00:12:17,039 things like this, the reason Pete Callander does what he 207 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,440 does every day, and the reason I do what I 208 00:12:19,519 --> 00:12:22,440 do every day, is because we want to keep people 209 00:12:22,799 --> 00:12:28,120 like this from running places we live. Yeah, I love 210 00:12:28,279 --> 00:12:30,120 I mean, we have, like you said, we have our 211 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,240 share of issues here, but thankfully it's not anything on 212 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,960 the level of what you're seeing happen in the deep 213 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:39,279 blue cities like Los Angeles and New York City. 214 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 1: Right. But after a certain point, all of these examples 215 00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:47,480 become a pattern, and then I see these patterns finally 216 00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:50,399 coming to our city as well. That's and that's a 217 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,080 huge concern. Is you know when you look at San 218 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,159 Francisco like, oh my gosh, that's crazy, and then oh 219 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,120 my gosh, now it's Chicago, and now, oh my gosh, 220 00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,879 it's New York Like, where does that? Does that preference 221 00:13:00,919 --> 00:13:06,120 cascade end? Because I don't watch Yeah, not on our watch, 222 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,200 Stacy Matthews.

Who you are visit creative video 246 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,440 dot com. Who exactly is Mamdani Banchi at Red State 247 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,960 says he is the son of a Columbia professor, because 248 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,440 of course he is and a radical in every respect 249 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,879 of the word. On October eighth, twenty twenty three, just 250 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,200 hours after Hamas invaded Israel and slaughter twelve hundred people 251 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:43,080 while taking almost three hundred more hostage. Mendami posted online 252 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:47,200 to blame Israel. This guy found it was a founder 253 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:53,000 of his campus chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. 254 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:57,039 And you heard Stacy Matthews refer to him as anti Semitic. 255 00:14:57,279 --> 00:14:59,720 That is not just a oh, I disagree with Israel. 256 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,279 Don't call me andy semitic for that. No. No, the 257 00:15:03,399 --> 00:15:07,720 US Holocaust Memorial Museum had to condemn and they don't 258 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,080 ever really weigh into politics, but they condemned any comparison 259 00:15:11,679 --> 00:15:15,279 between World War Two's Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the term 260 00:15:15,399 --> 00:15:18,720 globalize the into fada. Why would they have to do that, Well, 261 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:25,000 New York City mayoral candidate Zoran Mendani cited museum materials 262 00:15:25,279 --> 00:15:30,480 while drawing such a correlation. It's just the latest controversy 263 00:15:30,799 --> 00:15:35,759 over Jewish issues for Mendani, an anti Israel activist who 264 00:15:35,799 --> 00:15:38,159 was polling in second place for New York City's Democratic 265 00:15:38,159 --> 00:15:41,480 Party mayoral primary. This was from obviously before yesterday at 266 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,120 the Times of Israel. Mendani was asked about the phrase 267 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:49,799 globalized the Intofada during an interview on the podcast The 268 00:15:49,879 --> 00:15:57,519 Bulwark Intofada literally means uprising or shaking off, but it 269 00:15:57,559 --> 00:16:01,159 is mainly associated with the Second Into Fight, which occurred 270 00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:05,159 in the early two thousands, when Palestinian terrorists killed hundreds 271 00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:10,799 of Israelis in suicide bombings. Globalize the Intefada is a 272 00:16:10,879 --> 00:16:15,759 common refrain for protest groups calling for Israel's destruction and 273 00:16:15,799 --> 00:16:21,240 the ostracization of Zionists in the US. Mamdani declined to 274 00:16:21,279 --> 00:16:25,039 comment or sorry, decline to condemn the phrase, and in 275 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:31,240 its defense evoked the Holocaust's Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which was 276 00:16:31,279 --> 00:16:34,519 a last stand against the Nazis by Jews in the 277 00:16:34,519 --> 00:16:40,200 ghetto who were set to be deported and killed. Here's 278 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,120 what he said. Ultimately, what I hear in so many 279 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,519 is a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in 280 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,399 standing up for Palestinian human rights. The very word into 281 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,600 fada has been used by the Holocaust Museum when translating 282 00:16:56,679 --> 00:17:01,279 the Warsaw Ghetto uprising into Arabic because it's a word 283 00:17:01,519 --> 00:17:10,559 that means struggle. Well, yeah, so, because the Warsaw Ghetto 284 00:17:10,759 --> 00:17:15,799 Uprising was Jews against Nazis. When you say globalize the Intifada, 285 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,119 which is a reference to the Second Into Fada, which 286 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:21,200 was the slaughter of Jews. You say it's the same thing. 287 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:26,079 See even the Warsaw or even the Holocaust Museum uses 288 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:30,920 the term this is the guy they just elected. Here's 289 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,519 a great idea. How about making an escape to a 290 00:17:33,559 --> 00:17:37,079 really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just 291 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,720 a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville 292 00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:43,559 is your connection. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, a honeymoon, 293 00:17:43,599 --> 00:17:45,799 maybe you want to plan a memorable proposal, or get 294 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:48,759 family and friends together for a big old reunion, Cabins 295 00:17:48,799 --> 00:17:51,519 of Asheville has the ideal spot for you where you 296 00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:54,160 can reconnect with your loved ones and the things that 297 00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,000 truly matter.

This 311 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,240 from Melissa Andrew Cuomo was banking on the older vote 312 00:18:50,279 --> 00:18:53,440 to win the primary last night. Sadly they all died 313 00:18:53,440 --> 00:19:01,559 in nursing homes during COVID. Yeah. This from Frank McCormick. 314 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:09,440 He says New York City primary winner Zorn Mamdani announces 315 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:15,319 an exclusive election night celebration party for LGBTQ and Jewish supporters. 316 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,880 It'll be on the roof of the Empire State Building. 317 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:27,680 It's a joke about that, okay, some emails. James says. 318 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,920 My most likely scenarios are Eric Adams, who is running 319 00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:36,519 as an independent. He is black, also formerly Democrat now independent, 320 00:19:36,839 --> 00:19:41,319 that he gets elected similar to Byron Johnson following Lori 321 00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,559 Lightfoot in Chicago, or Adams and the Socialists split the 322 00:19:45,599 --> 00:19:49,880 Democrat vote and the Republican wins. Who knew that Kurt 323 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:54,920 Russell's classic Escape from New York was actually a historical documentary. 324 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:59,200 It's a prequel. We're in the prequel. John in New 325 00:19:59,279 --> 00:20:04,519 Jersey says, you eat the rich. That socialist slogan rich 326 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:07,200 is subjective. Rich is in the eye of the beholder. 327 00:20:07,279 --> 00:20:10,680 Those touting the eat the rich mentality should therefore be 328 00:20:10,799 --> 00:20:15,799 careful lest they wind up on the menu. Sean says, 329 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,680 I believe the reason this kind of talk about communism 330 00:20:18,759 --> 00:20:21,799 is tolerated because the effects of communism is not taught 331 00:20:21,799 --> 00:20:25,640 in schools to young people. That is correct. I went 332 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,039 through the CMS public school system in the world history 333 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,039 all my senior year barely touched it. They spent a 334 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:36,599 quarter of the year on early civilizations, half the year 335 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,960 on World War one and two mainly two, and the 336 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,319 rest on miscellaneous other events. Jordan Peterson has said that 337 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,599 he finds it a shame that young people aren't taught 338 00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:49,640 this at an early age, and how the rise of communism, 339 00:20:49,799 --> 00:20:53,160 a system that killed between eighty to one hundred million people, 340 00:20:53,559 --> 00:20:56,480 isn't considered the single most important event of the last 341 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:59,799 two hundred years. When your margin of error on the 342 00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:03,480 toll is in the tens of millions, you can bet 343 00:21:03,559 --> 00:21:11,960 it's a failed system. And John says, can you take 344 00:21:12,039 --> 00:21:16,720 a minute and explain how ranked voting works. I don't 345 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:19,920 know how ranked voting works. I know how ranked voting works. 346 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:25,720 That's I'm sure it's autocorrect. It's not John's fault. Yeah, 347 00:21:25,759 --> 00:21:31,440 So it's this is a system that mainly people on 348 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,279 the left, but some on the right have been trying 349 00:21:33,319 --> 00:21:37,400 to get implemented. So it's not a winner take all, 350 00:21:38,279 --> 00:21:40,720 and the winner has to just clear, you know, forty 351 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,119 percent of the total vote, so you have to clear 352 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:50,720 a bar that's like fifty percent. But when you go 353 00:21:50,839 --> 00:21:54,160 and you as a voter go to the polls, you 354 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:59,720 get to rank all the candidates and so your first 355 00:21:59,759 --> 00:22:03,440 pick gets you know, let's say you've got let's say 356 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,240 you have five candidates running as I think they were 357 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,799 in the mayor's race last night. So you have five 358 00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,000 candidates in a primary, and you vote for candidate A, 359 00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:16,720 then B, C, D, and E. Okay, and you rank 360 00:22:16,799 --> 00:22:21,000 them like that. So your candidate A will get five points, 361 00:22:21,519 --> 00:22:24,960 Candidate B would get four points, Candidate C whatever, like 362 00:22:25,039 --> 00:22:27,640 and so you and they don't use a point system. 363 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,000 But I'm just doing this because I'm not going to 364 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:30,640 get into like the percentages and all of that. But 365 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,559 the point here is that I picked them my I 366 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,319 ranked them in the order that I like them. The 367 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,160 people who finish at the bottom. They then take those 368 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:44,599 people out and then they give the the their points 369 00:22:44,799 --> 00:22:49,480 to the next ones higher up the list. Right, So 370 00:22:49,559 --> 00:22:52,880 if I if my pick is my top guy is 371 00:22:53,039 --> 00:22:58,039 candidate E, but E finishes last, well, then they take 372 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:00,599 my vote, they take away the e vot votes for him, 373 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,799 and then all right, well, who did Pete pick second? Well, 374 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,880 I picked candidate A, so then A would get my vote. 375 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,759 So they're constantly culling from the bottom of the list 376 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:18,519 and then taking all of those second choices and putting 377 00:23:18,519 --> 00:23:23,480 them into the banks of the other candidates. And that 378 00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:27,640 could change the results obviously, because if you know, if 379 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:34,480 all of the bottom three candidates voters as their second 380 00:23:34,559 --> 00:23:39,079 choice picked candidate B, candidate B could end up winning 381 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:42,839 because all of the lower three candidates get tossed out 382 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,640 because they finished at the bottom, and then by all 383 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,559 of our second choices are for the same candidate, and 384 00:23:49,599 --> 00:23:51,440 then they would get and they would now get our votes. 385 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,839 Does that make sense? So they're constantly having to recount 386 00:23:55,960 --> 00:24:00,319 all of these ballots. But this guy has apparently he 387 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,799 got enough of the votes where there aren't enough out there, 388 00:24:04,839 --> 00:24:09,319 I guess to cover it. So yeah, it's a very 389 00:24:09,319 --> 00:24:12,720 convoluted system, and it takes a very long time to 390 00:24:12,759 --> 00:24:18,720 finish counting all of the votes. And you know, and 391 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:22,119 once the system starts getting used with regularity, you're going 392 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:27,720 to start having people running campaigns of like coalitions and slates, 393 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:31,880 and you're gonna have single shots going on. You're gonna have, 394 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:36,599 you know, because the campaigns are going to figure out 395 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,119 ways to gain the system. And that's what this guy did. 396 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,960 He understood what this system meant, so he would say, 397 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,039 even if you are not your first choice, let me 398 00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,319 be your second choice, right, And so he got a 399 00:24:48,319 --> 00:24:51,000 lot of those second choice votes because whoever finished lower 400 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,200 in the list, like the guy Lander that got himself 401 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:56,960 arrested at the ice facility, right like that guy, he 402 00:24:57,079 --> 00:25:02,200 said to his voters, give your second vote to the 403 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,039 communist and so people did. And so when Lander got 404 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,599 knocked off because he finished like dead last or second 405 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:13,680 to last. When Lander gets knocked off, all of the 406 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:20,200 second votes for him go up to the COMMI yeah, 407 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,559 it's very convoluted. Like I understand the concept, it's just 408 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:25,799 very difficult to explain, which is why it's even more 409 00:25:25,839 --> 00:25:28,839 difficult to implement. All Right, if you're listening to this show, 410 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,440 you know I try to keep up with all sorts 411 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,480 of current events, and I know you do too, And 412 00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:36,000 you've probably heard me say get your news from multiple sources. 413 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,759 Why well, because it's how you detect media bias, which 414 00:25:39,759 --> 00:25:42,680 is why I've been so impressed with ground News.

Margo Cleveland she is a writer over at 431 00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,119 the Federalists' senior legal correspondent at the Federalist dot com, 432 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:48,960 also a former Seventh Circuit law clerk and a full 433 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:53,279 time university faculty member. She's a professor anyway. She points 434 00:26:53,279 --> 00:26:55,920 out what's happening in New York City is the best 435 00:26:56,079 --> 00:27:01,400 argument for eliminating the Salt Tax credit it state and 436 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,279 local tax right, the sa LT this is part of 437 00:27:04,279 --> 00:27:07,000 the big beautiful bill. And there's like the Salt Caucus 438 00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:15,079 on Capitol Hill, bipartisan basically representing these you know, blue 439 00:27:15,079 --> 00:27:18,720 city dominated states. I think like Lawler is one guy. 440 00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:23,799 I think he's from New York Republican and they they 441 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:31,279 want they so when you pay your local taxes, state 442 00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:36,799 and local taxes, they want to restore the deductions that 443 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:41,960 you can take on your federal tax returns. So that 444 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,519 creates an incentive for high state and local taxes because 445 00:27:46,559 --> 00:27:49,400 when you raise your taxes up, then you get to 446 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:53,319 if you're wealthy, right, you deduct those large taxes out 447 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:59,000 of your the taxes you file for your federal income taxes. 448 00:27:59,759 --> 00:28:06,000 And this was eliminated under the original tax cuts, the 449 00:28:06,319 --> 00:28:10,240 Trump tax cuts. And now they're trying to claw back 450 00:28:10,319 --> 00:28:14,519 some of these deductions, the salt the salt tax credits, 451 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,640 and they want them to go to I think they're 452 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,559 trying to raise them or something. Well, I mean, obviously 453 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:19,839 they're trying to raise them. I don't remember if it 454 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,200 went completely to zero or if it went down to 455 00:28:22,279 --> 00:28:25,720 just a low number like twenty thousand dollars or something, 456 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:29,519 but this has been a big push. Well, how can 457 00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:32,759 you ask, she says, why should sane areas of the 458 00:28:32,799 --> 00:28:37,880 country subsidize the expensive stupidity of the insane areas of 459 00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:42,079 the country. Right, No, if you want to pay, if 460 00:28:42,079 --> 00:28:44,519 you want, Like this guy in New York City is 461 00:28:44,559 --> 00:28:49,200 talking about, you know, taking control basically and making all 462 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,880 of the transit system free for users. Well, what's that. 463 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,400 I mean, it's got to get paid for somehow, So 464 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,920 how are you gonna pay for it? Tax the rich, 465 00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:03,160 eat the rich, That's what he's going to do. Okay, 466 00:29:03,279 --> 00:29:08,839 So then what you increase those deductions the local taxes 467 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,079 that now he'll be able, that rich guy will be 468 00:29:12,079 --> 00:29:16,759 able to deduct those taxes off of his federal returns, 469 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,960 which is in true commie fashion, right, socializing the losses. 470 00:29:23,119 --> 00:29:29,039 It's a freaking parasite, this ideology. Communism is a religion. 471 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:34,799 I am more convinced of it than ever and like 472 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:38,599 the same patterns over and over and over again. And 473 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,160 that's what this guy in New York City wants to do, 474 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,720 among many other things, including the government run breadlines. I'm sorry, 475 00:29:45,799 --> 00:29:51,200 grocery stores. Andy says, good afternoon. I feel like I 476 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:54,240 am in the twilight zone. The lack of education among 477 00:29:54,279 --> 00:29:59,759 these people is mind boggling. No consideration for history at all. Yes, indeed, 478 00:29:59,759 --> 00:30:04,599 it is almost as if there was a purposeful campaign 479 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:10,799 to not teach people history. No, that could never happen, 480 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,839 he says. It's terrifying to think about what's coming if 481 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:22,640 this continues. Russ says, you just mentioned the developing pattern 482 00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:26,759 to Stacey, the pattern of you know, these big cities 483 00:30:26,799 --> 00:30:31,680 going you know, full radical commie lovin and like that 484 00:30:31,839 --> 00:30:35,640 being this sort of a preference cascade that's rippling out 485 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:38,720 of the Democrat Party and now it's affecting these big cities, 486 00:30:38,759 --> 00:30:43,039 these major economic drivers, these engines of regional growth and such. 487 00:30:44,880 --> 00:30:48,200 I've been noticing this moneyball politics trend for a while. 488 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,920 That's how Mecklenberg got that awful sheriff. Not Gary, not 489 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,240 my fault McFadden. He doesn't name him, but I think 490 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:58,759 he's talking about Nick Mackie as a blast from the past. 491 00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:04,720 Nick Macky. He worked the inner party workings of the 492 00:31:04,759 --> 00:31:08,920 Democrat Party in order to get enough of these delegates 493 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:11,799 and people inside the party to name him sheriff when 494 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:16,799 Jim Pendograph retired and take the job away from Chip Bailey, 495 00:31:16,839 --> 00:31:20,359 who who all of the Democrat leadership wanted and were 496 00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:22,519 going to vote for, and thought he had it in 497 00:31:22,559 --> 00:31:25,680 the bag and no problem. And then they show up 498 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,039 at their Democrat Party meeting and it turns out this 499 00:31:29,119 --> 00:31:32,319 guy basically went to nursing homes and got old people 500 00:31:32,599 --> 00:31:35,839 to vote for him, and he ended up winning. And 501 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:37,759 it turned into this big lawsuit and they had to 502 00:31:37,759 --> 00:31:40,200 do a revote and all this stuff because you know democracy, 503 00:31:41,039 --> 00:31:42,400 But yeah, this has been going on for a while. 504 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,400 You find the right precincts and districts to have the 505 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:48,240 greatest impact and infiltrate the machine, manipulate the elections, whether 506 00:31:48,279 --> 00:31:52,000 by legal means or not, massaging gray areas of the rules, 507 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,839 or more nefarious ways. Yeah, this is the Democrat Party 508 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:01,359 machine has take is being taken over, and in some 509 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:05,240 precincts it has been by their radical left, and they 510 00:32:05,559 --> 00:32:09,200 cannot apparently defend themselves. They cannot fight back, and we're 511 00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,119 all gonna suffer for it. All right, that'll do it 512 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,759 for this episode.
