Caroline Shinkle | U.S. House New York District 12 Candidate Speaks on Home Stretch Leading Up to Nov. 3rd Election Day · Sid & Friends In The Morning

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night, I made mention of this last segment at Dorian's.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: See my buddy Larry Roth out there. We'll do a
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: big fundraiser and party for Caroline Schenkel. Caroline's running for
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: that District 12 seat, which will be vacant now because fat,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: now skinny and stupid Jerry Nath was calling it quits.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: So with that said, making her second appearance on Sit
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and Friends in the morning, my friend Caroline Schenkel. Caroline,
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: good morning. How are you?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Sid.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: It's morning in Manhattan. Great to be with you.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It's a rainy, disgusting morning in Manhattan, but I'm glad
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you're here. You know who loves you? And I'm so
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: happy to hear this because she's only been on once,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: but I really appreciate this lady. She's really smart. Dr.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Naomi Wolf loves you.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Yes, she is amazing. She's a supporter of mine now.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: I was on her podcast recently, and I think she
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: reached out to you, Sid, and said that you had
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: to have me on.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: She did. She did. I said, Naomi, sweetheart, same name
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: as my mom. I've had her on two or three
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: times already. I was there at the very beginning before
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: everybody else had Caroline on. Her mother, Carolyn, on a
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: night where I actually... stood on stage, a little stage,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: in Bedminster with President Trump. She came up to me,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and way before anybody else, we started this whole relationship
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: right there, right?
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: That's right, Sid, and my mother loves you. She's so
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: excited to see you on Wednesday. As am I, and
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: as is the rest of Manhattan. It's going to be
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a big, beautiful party, and I would invite any New
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yorker who loves their city and loves their country to
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: come and party with us on Wednesday.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Tell me this, the election now is less than two
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: months away. Hard to believe that Thursday is already October 1st.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: We're only 10 days away from the three-year commemoration of
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: October 7th. We just did the 9-11 thing, but also
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: important in our lives, October 7th, almost three years. But
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: we're less than two months away. How are you feeling?
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Are you getting any numbers, anything that leads you to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: believe that you're doing very, very well? Because I think
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: you are. I think you got a real good shot
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to win this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Sid, I can win this. Now, most people I've been
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: meeting with believe that somebody like myself is exactly the
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: kind of leader that we need in Washington right now.
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: Somebody with common sense, who's a pragmatist with real experience,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: real understanding. But until now, Sid, the only problem was
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: the R next to my name. The fact that I'm
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: running as a Republican, that is now changing. I cannot
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: tell you how many Democrats and independents are supporting me.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: These are decent, Normal, common sense people realizing that we
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: agree on a lot more than we disagree on. We
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: both love our country. We want to stop the socialist
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: takeover and destruction of our city and our great nation.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: So I can win this, but I need the help
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: of everybody who's listening to your show and their donations
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to do it. If they donate, we will make history
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: and we will change the course of history. here in
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: New York City, and in this country. So I would
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: invite all your listeners to visit my website, carolinefornewyork.com, to
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: learn more. They can make their donation through that website.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: As you know, it takes money to win, but we've
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: got all the elements in place. I've been out pounding
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the pavement, Sid, since I launched my campaign in February.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: I can tell you the people are with us.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Caroline for NewYork.com. And the precedence has been set. My
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: good buddy Mike Lawler has a debate tonight. Going to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: be on News 12 against this psycho he's running against.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Kate Conley, I think that's her name. I don't even know.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: But he wins in Rockland County in an area that
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: is mostly Democrats. And, of course, Bruce Blakeman just won
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: his second consecutive Nassau County executive race. He'll be our
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: next governor, also in a county that is mostly Democrats.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: So we are seeing people with R's in front of
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: their name, Caroline, like Lawler and Blakeman, win. in Democrat districts,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: so you can certainly do that. And the truth is,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: the guy you're running against is Michael Lasher. There is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a lot not to like about him. Isn't that fair
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to say?
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: That's 100%, Sid. Mamdani supporter Michael Asher endorsed Mamdani immediately.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Even Kathy Hochul took a few months to figure it out.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: He endorsed Mamdani immediately, continues to support Mamdani, and the
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: DSA agenda has totally embraced socialism. You just have to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: take a look at his platform. The word Israel doesn't
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: even show up at all on his website. He's totally
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: caved in on Israel and support for the Jewish community,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: completely caved into the DSA. So what it will boil
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: down to in November is this. Will we in New
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: York 12, the center of global capitalism, elect somebody who
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: by any means has the values, experience, temperament, understanding, and
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: background to represent Manhattan in Congress like myself? Or will
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: the voters simply elect somebody who's a Mamdani supporter, a
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: weak party hack, who's never worked a day in the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: real world, by the way, and again, who's totally caved
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: into the DSA simply because he has a D next
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: to his name? That is the question, Sid. I think
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: New Yorkers are going to do the right thing.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: D for douchebag, by the way, Caroline. Let me read
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: you Caroline. It's so impressive. It really is. Caroline, a
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: corporate attorney talking about capitalism. Listen to this. She's got
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: experience in mergers, acquisitions, and financial regulation. At this huge firm,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: she's worked with the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, the
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: European Central Bank, and the Bank of Israel. Her platform
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: obviously focuses heavily on crime, economic reform, and combating anti-Semitism.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: So to me, Caroline, you're the face. You're the face
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: of capitalism in a New York City that is on
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: its way. It's on its way to a bankruptcy and
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: a miserable, miserable financial future. You are the cure for
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: all that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Well, thank you so much, Sid. That's how I feel, too.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Are we either going to vote for continued failure and
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: complete destruction, or are we going to vote for the future?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Are we going to vote for economic empowerment and private enterprise?
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: And let's remember, my opponent, Michael Asher, he is somebody
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: who accepts his party's growing intolerance toward Israel, the growing
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: anti-Semitism that's becoming normalized in the Democrat Party. He hopes
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: that by staying quiet, nobody will notice. But I noticed that,
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and I'm calling him out, the voters are noticing too.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I unapologetically stand with the Jewish community of New York
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: City and across the country. I unapologetically support Israel and
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: I stand with Israel. These are issues that should not
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: even be political, Sid. And again, for Michael Asher, the
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: word Israel is entirely absent from his website. He doesn't
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: talk about it. And when he's asked if Israel is
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: committing genocide, he will not say no. So he has
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: totally caved in. He has no moral clarity. For him,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: it's all about protecting his political career and fighting President Trump.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: There are no solutions that will help any of us
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: here in New York City that he's discussing. And let's
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: also remember his mentor, Jerry Nadler, my predecessor in this seat,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: is somebody who recently voted against legislation designed to discourage
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: American universities from boycotting Israel. So that is something that
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: Michael Asher remains silent on. He's Jerry Nadler's protege. So
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: if he gets elected to Congress this November, if I
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: don't stop him, he will continue to vote with the
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: Mamdani's and the Abdul El-Sayed's and the Daria Lisa's of
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the world because he will have to vote lockstep with
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: the DSA. Otherwise, he will get primary from the left
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and go the way of Dan Goldman. This is not
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a strong guy. He's a weak party hack. And I
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: think his silence on all of these issues should be
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: seen as a very bad omen.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: You know, one more on Israel. I think you know this.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Nobody fights harder than me. Nobody. I mean, I was
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: an invited guest to watch Bibi speak at the UN
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: on Thursday, okay? I was there. I've been back and
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: forth to Israel five times since October 7th of 2023.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: I actually saved a rabbi on a downtown four train
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: from a drunk guy in the morning who wanted to
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: beat him up on a Shabbos morning heading back to Brooklyn.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I spend hours and hours and hours on this show
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: defending Israel. And I've supported and hosted how many dinners
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: over the last couple of years? But I do wonder,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: while I commend you for that and I love you
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: for that, and I do think it's important, in this city,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: as I watch people walk out of the UN speech,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: as I continue to see more and more Jews, forget
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: about non-Jews, Jews who live in New York that want
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: no part of Israel, that ban Mount Bibi and hate
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: people like me, I just wonder if supporting Israel... is
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: a good thing when you're running for office in New York.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Certainly it is, morally. Morally, there should be, like you said,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: no daylight between Israel, America, loving Israel. But unfortunately, in
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: this town, it seems to be an issue. So politically,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: can that hurt you?
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I hear you, Sid, but it's the right thing. And
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: we need leadership right now. We need people with moral
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: clarity who are going to step up and do the
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: right thing, even when it's not politically expedient. Now, this
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: is resonating. My support for Israel and the Jewish community
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: is resonating in New York 12. Thank God. Because we
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: have the largest Jewish community of any congressional district across
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the country. So people here in my district are feeling targeted.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: Hate crimes, as you know, Sid, are way up. And
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: hate crimes against the Jewish community are up massively. So
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: people here do not feel safe. They feel sold out
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: by their party. They feel betrayed by the Democrat Party
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: of today. And certainly, I think the voters themselves here
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: in this district, they have not shifted so far to
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the left. They don't subscribe to the DSA and all
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: this socialism. Our district, New York 12, did not vote
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: for Mamdani last November. So my message of common sense, really,
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: when you think about it, my entire platform said it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: all common sense supporting our law enforcement, reducing crime, public safety,
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: education reform. Letting people keep more of what they make,
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: protecting your paycheck. How's that for a concept? Balancing the
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: federal budget, because that's how we actually address inflation, which
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: is the underlying cause of cost of living. These are
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: things that people care about. And I'm treating Jewish safety
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: like public safety. and that's what it should be. So again,
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: I would encourage all of your listeners to take a
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: look at CarolineForNewYork.com to learn more, to please make a
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: financial contribution to my campaign. And together, we're going to
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: make history, Sid. It's happening. It's going to be the
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: biggest political upset in American history.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: God, I love you. You're my favorite new politician. You
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: know that. By the way, her New York 12 encompasses
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: a large portion of Manhattan, stretching from about 14th Street
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to 110th. And it does cover both the Upper East
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: and West Side. OK, so Wednesday night, Dorians, I'm going
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to host it because I love you and your mother.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: And I really believe that you will be a huge asset,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: huge asset in Washington, D.C. for New Yorkers. Any last
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: message before we see them in person coming up on
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Wednesday night?
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Well, Sid, first of all, my mother and I, we
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: love you back. We can't wait to see you and
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: all the other New Yorkers there on Wednesday. And I
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: would like all of your listeners to know I'm running
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: as a Republican, but I'm running to be a candidate
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: for all of us here in New York 12. I'm
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: running to represent all of us as Americans. I'm pro-USA.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: I'm pro-New York City. I'm pro-capitalism. I'm pro-Western civilization. If
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: you agree with any of those things, then you are
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: with me and you are on the team. Join us.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Caroline Schenkel, and again, you can help her out today,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: and please do it. Go to CarolineForNewYork.com. Caroline is great.
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Her mother, Carolyn, is equally as great. And with people
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: like her running for office, there's a reason to believe
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: there's still hope. Caroline, great job today as always. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: love you. I'll see you Wednesday night. Thank you so much.
