Latest / Sid & Friends In The Morning / Stephanie Benshimol | Boss Momma American Israeli Zionist Verbally Destroys Mayor Mamdani in Borough Park
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Stephanie Ben-Shemol, this nice Jewish woman, was kicked out of
- 0:04Speaker 1: this store in Borough Park. But Mamdani, who hates the Jews,
- 0:09Speaker 1: he hates us. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.
- 0:13Speaker 1: I don't care what Rabbi Teitelbaum says in the Satmar community.
- 0:17Speaker 2: He hates us. His wife hates us. His father hates us.
- 0:22Speaker 1: He's a lot of state. Lou, how does that make sense?
- 0:24Speaker 1: How does Stephanie get kicked out? But the anti-Semitic mayor,
- 0:28Speaker 1: he's allowed to stay.
- 0:30Speaker 2: She has every right to be there.
- 0:32Speaker 3: Yes.
- 0:33Speaker 2: That's her right. As long as you are not, there's
- 0:35Speaker 2: no physical thing going on. She was the one being
- 0:38Speaker 2: roughed up. That's right.
- 0:39Speaker 1: You can't do anything.
- 0:39Speaker 2: You can't touch her.
- 0:41Speaker 1: She is a citizen.
- 0:42Speaker 2: She was so good.
- 0:43Speaker 1: That's it.
- 0:43Speaker 2: That's the way it is.
- 0:44Speaker 1: Well, only a million people sent me that video yesterday,
- 0:47Speaker 1: so we got her. Here she is, the star of
- 0:51Speaker 1: the Jewish community this morning, and deservedly so.
- 0:54Speaker 2: Stephanie Ben-Shamon. Stephanie, welcome to Sit and Friends.
- 0:56Speaker 3: In the morning.
- 0:57Speaker 4: How are you?
- 0:58Speaker 3: Good morning, Boker Tov.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Boker Tov to you.
- 1:01Speaker 3: All is great.
- 1:02Speaker 2: All is great.
- 1:03Speaker 1: So did you know for a fact that the mayor
- 1:07Speaker 1: was going to that specific store in Borough Park? Is
- 1:09Speaker 1: that why you were there in the first place?
- 1:13Speaker 3: So every year I do my yearly Rosh Hashanah shopping
- 1:16Speaker 3: in Borough Park. I happen to be talking to my
- 1:18Speaker 3: good friend, Robert Pearl, on the phone. His birthday is
- 1:21Speaker 3: coming up this Saturday. And then he said, Stephanie, I
- 1:25Speaker 3: just got some news. The mayor is going to be
- 1:28Speaker 3: around there. So I said, nah, he can't be around here.
- 1:31Speaker 3: Then I thought about it. I'm like, all right, he's
- 1:34Speaker 3: probably going to Amnon's Pizza Store. It's a famous pizza
- 1:36Speaker 3: store known in Borough Park. I was in Eichler's bookstore
- 1:40Speaker 3: making my purchases. Now, all of a sudden, I start
- 1:43Speaker 3: to see all the little Moishis on their walkie-talkies. And
- 1:47Speaker 3: I'm like, you know what? I'm staying in the store.
- 1:49Speaker 3: Something's going down. And then they start talking in Yiddish.
- 1:54Speaker 3: I understand Yiddish from my bubby. I'm like, you know what?
- 1:58Speaker 3: I'm hanging around. I think Mamdani's coming over here.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Waited.
- 2:03Speaker 3: He walked in. And that's when it all started. I
- 2:07Speaker 3: was in absolute shock that he had the chutzpah to
- 2:10Speaker 3: come into a Jewish store in the heart of Borough
- 2:13Speaker 3: Park a week before Rosh Hashanah. And Rosh Hashanah comes
- 2:18Speaker 3: out the same day as, sadly enough, The memorial for
- 2:23Speaker 3: the 25th anniversary of September 11th.
- 2:25Speaker 2: You know, I knew this was happening yesterday. I mentioned
- 2:28Speaker 2: it on my program.
- 2:29Speaker 1: I said he's on his way to Borough Park, and
- 2:31Speaker 1: I was also... Yeah, and Tidal Bomb is going to
- 2:32Speaker 1: meet with President Trump today. So I knew he was
- 2:34Speaker 1: going there yesterday.
- 2:35Speaker 3: I missed it.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Believe it or not, Stephanie, I have less of an
- 2:39Speaker 1: issue with Mamdani.
- 2:41Speaker 2: My issue is... Our people, why.
- 2:44Speaker 1: Would anybody in Borough Park, any rabbi, any decent Jewish person,
- 2:50Speaker 1: extend an invite to this anti-Semite creep?
- 2:54Speaker 2: Not only that, they rolled out the red carpet. They
- 2:57Speaker 2: treated him so nicely.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Oh, boy, did they roll out the red carpet for him. Right, right.
- 3:01Speaker 3: They treated him like royalty. They were running around the
- 3:06Speaker 3: store with a silver kiddish cup. a beautiful honey plate,
- 3:10Speaker 3: apple cider chilled, you know, like you don't treat him
- 3:14Speaker 3: with royalty. This man is going to put you on
- 3:17Speaker 3: the Nazi train to Germany. He doesn't deserve such, such,
- 3:22Speaker 3: such respect, such cover. Right.
- 3:24Speaker 1: So, so it sounds, so it sounds to me like
- 3:26Speaker 1: you agree with me that even though, you know, he's
- 3:28Speaker 1: a creep, why would our people bend over backwards for
- 3:31Speaker 1: this guy? Right.
- 3:33Speaker 3: Why? Well, there's a difference between respecting him and then
- 3:38Speaker 3: they were, they were, they were taking selfies with him.
- 3:42Speaker 3: They were kissing his tachet. Why? And then you have
- 3:48Speaker 3: guys in Yiddish saying anti-Semites. I'm like, why are you
- 3:52Speaker 3: taking a selfie with him if he's an anti-Semite? And
- 3:54Speaker 3: that's when it got to me. And I said, let
- 3:56Speaker 3: me ask my famous question again, as I did June 2025,
- 4:02Speaker 3: when I was thrown out of Brooklyn College at a
- 4:04Speaker 3: town hall meeting. What are you going to do for
- 4:06Speaker 3: the safety of the Jews in New York? He puts
- 4:09Speaker 3: his hand on his chest. And smiled. That's what he does.
- 4:13Speaker 2: That's the answer that we get. And, you know, you
- 4:15Speaker 2: mentioned Felicia Wisdom. That's a Felicia. That's a complete waste
- 4:18Speaker 2: of time. I mean, my good buddy.
- 4:19Speaker 3: Felicia, whatever.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 4:20Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:20Speaker 2: My buddy Abraham. My buddy Abraham Hamra went to meet
- 4:23Speaker 2: with her. I said, why? I know he's got his
- 4:25Speaker 2: heart in the right place.
- 4:26Speaker 3: Right.
- 4:27Speaker 2: He wants to help the city. He's a great guy.
- 4:28Speaker 2: He's a great guy. But why are you waiting? Anybody, anybody.
- 4:32Speaker 3: He's not doing anything for us. Right. Given her position
- 4:35Speaker 3: in February. What has she done in these eight months?
- 4:39Speaker 3: And that's when she had the chutzpah also. She came
- 4:41Speaker 3: to Holocaust Memorial Park and she said, Babe Brooklyn, you know,
- 4:44Speaker 3: this is my home over here. I'm born in Brooklyn,
- 4:46Speaker 3: raised in Brooklyn. That's when I said, you're not going
- 4:50Speaker 3: to be speaking. They tricked the Holocaust survivors and they
- 4:53Speaker 3: brought her there. I heckled her out of there. Yes,
- 4:56Speaker 3: I did. And I'm proud about that.
- 4:58Speaker 2: I'm proud of you, too.
- 4:59Speaker 1: So a couple of times during that video, Steph, you
- 5:02Speaker 1: were saying, don't push me.
- 5:03Speaker 2: Don't touch me. Did they get physical with you that often?
- 5:07Speaker 3: You know something? We have something in Jewish. I'm an
- 5:10Speaker 3: Orthodox Jewish woman. I wasn't always. I'm a Brooklynite. I
- 5:14Speaker 3: grew up, you know, in Bay Ridge. I grew out,
- 5:15Speaker 3: grew out, went to my KTU clubs and all that.
- 5:18Speaker 3: But now I'm an Orthodox Jewish woman. We have something
- 5:21Speaker 3: called Shomer Nagia. I don't touch another man. Another man
- 5:24Speaker 3: doesn't touch me. And they were pushing me out to
- 5:28Speaker 3: a point where I felt pain in my lower back.
- 5:31Speaker 3: I'm a big woman. I don't complain easy about pain,
- 5:34Speaker 3: but they were hurting me. So I was like, stop. Like,
- 5:37Speaker 3: why are you giving mom Donnie your marshmallow mom there?
- 5:41Speaker 3: Respect over me. Not one man said not one man
- 5:47Speaker 3: said don't touch her. Not one man. They were too
- 5:51Speaker 3: busy taking selfies and praising him. Come on. What is
- 5:56Speaker 3: going on? You don't kiss ass to the devil, to
- 5:59Speaker 3: the man who hates you, the man who wants to
- 6:02Speaker 3: arrest Benjamin Netanyahu. God bless Benjamin Netanyahu. God bless President Trump.
- 6:10Speaker 2: God bless both of those guys. That's right, Stephanie.
- 6:13Speaker 1: So I know you were standing in very close proximity
- 6:17Speaker 1: to Mayor Mamdani when you.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Started the video.
- 6:19Speaker 2: It was great. And then they kind of ushered him
- 6:22Speaker 2: away from you. You can see that. At any point,
- 6:24Speaker 2: did he acknowledge you, the mayor, in any way?
- 6:27Speaker 3: No, no. All he could do is answer the question.
- 6:29Speaker 3: Do I look like a dangerous person, honestly?
- 6:31Speaker 2: No, no, no.
- 6:32Speaker 3: Do I look like I'm violent?
- 6:33Speaker 2: No. Okay. So.
- 6:37Speaker 3: And then he was right across the street from where
- 6:40Speaker 3: my grandmother came after the Holocaust. Legally, she had her
- 6:43Speaker 3: wig salon business there. And that's what even upset me
- 6:46Speaker 3: even more. They caused traffic for 20 minutes. And it
- 6:50Speaker 3: was all arranged. They had you know, I knew something
- 6:52Speaker 3: was also going on. I'm like, there's detail over there.
- 6:55Speaker 3: There's always something going on in Borough Park. But this
- 6:57Speaker 3: is a little bit too much. How they praised him,
- 6:59Speaker 3: how they gifted him, how they completely ignored an Orthodox
- 7:04Speaker 3: Jewish woman. So as you know me, I will not
- 7:07Speaker 3: apologize for who I am and I will not be
- 7:09Speaker 3: intimidated and I will not be silenced. No American, no
- 7:13Speaker 3: Westerner and especially no Jew should sit back and be
- 7:17Speaker 3: quiet when something is wrong. And everybody else should speak up.
- 7:20Speaker 3: We should make the Jewish mafiosa crew for women. And
- 7:24Speaker 3: we should all be doing this together to call them out.
- 7:27Speaker 2: And you should be the godmother or the godfather, whatever
- 7:30Speaker 2: you want to call it.
- 7:31Speaker 3: I am the god Jewish mother. And I want to
- 7:33Speaker 3: tell you something. Today is two days ago on September
- 7:37Speaker 3: 1st was when they killed the six hostages. You remember
- 7:41Speaker 3: Hersh Goldberg or Danino Carmel. We gathered. I was with
- 7:44Speaker 3: you in front of the Israel embassy. And you spoke
- 7:46Speaker 3: and we lit candles for them. And then Mamdani, what
- 7:51Speaker 3: is he inviting Mahmoud Khalil to Gracie Mansion for for
- 7:54Speaker 3: dinner on my tax dollars and your tax dollars? And
- 7:57Speaker 3: his wife praised Hamas and liked all their posts, what
- 8:00Speaker 3: they did, sticking up utensils and torching Israeli women. Come on.
- 8:06Speaker 3: This guy is just a terrorist in a suit.
- 8:09Speaker 2: That's all he is. That's good. I'm glad you used
- 8:11Speaker 2: that word, too. He's a terrorist.
- 8:12Speaker 3: He's a terrorist in a suit, I should say. He's
- 8:15Speaker 3: a commie. He's a terrorist in a suit, and he
- 8:17Speaker 3: does not love this great city like we do, because
- 8:21Speaker 3: we are born here, and we love our city.
- 8:23Speaker 2: That's right. And we did light candles that day, me, you,
- 8:25Speaker 2: and Dov Hyken, the three of.
- 8:26Speaker 3: Us did it together.
- 8:27Speaker 2: We did, yes.
- 8:27Speaker 3: Remember that?
- 8:28Speaker 2: It was a great rally.
- 8:29Speaker 3: We were with Sammy Steigman. It was a beautiful San Memorial.
- 8:32Speaker 2: Yes, Holocaust survivor Sammy Steigman. Yes, very nice guy.
- 8:35Speaker 1: So has anybody, you know, you made that store. I
- 8:39Speaker 1: know if you live in Borough Park, you know it.
- 8:41Speaker 1: If you're an Orthodox Jew, you may know it, but
- 8:43Speaker 1: for a lot of Jews in New York, they never
- 8:45Speaker 1: heard of Eichel's.
- 8:46Speaker 2: You made that story very, very famous.
- 8:48Speaker 3: Eichel's has been around there since I'm six years old.
- 8:50Speaker 3: I'm not going to say my age, but I was
- 8:53Speaker 3: born in Maimonides. I grew up in Flatbush, Brooklyn, always
- 8:59Speaker 3: in Borough Park because of my bubby, my grandmother. Eichel's
- 9:02Speaker 3: was a big thing to go to, especially before Rosh Hashanah.
- 9:05Speaker 3: I feel bad. I made a purchase there. I bought little...
- 9:08Speaker 3: Russia shouldn't have beautiful glass bottles to give out to
- 9:11Speaker 3: my neighbors. And I also went there to buy my
- 9:13Speaker 3: daughter a birthday present. That's why I was talking to
- 9:15Speaker 3: Robert Pearl because his birthday is the day after my
- 9:17Speaker 3: daughter's birthday. And then look who walks in. Unbelievable. Donnie,
- 9:22Speaker 3: you know, Donnie means moms are means a bastard. I'm sorry.
- 9:26Speaker 3: I got to say it. I'm not sorry.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Bastard Mamdani. So now, now that you've done this and
- 9:32Speaker 1: you've become a rock star, I know you've also been
- 9:35Speaker 1: busy like I have. I've been very busy, actually, trying
- 9:38Speaker 1: to make sure that Bruce Blakeman gets elected as governor.
- 9:41Speaker 2: Of course. Yes.
- 9:42Speaker 3: His poster's in front of my house. Sarita Kamatadi's in
- 9:46Speaker 3: front of my house. Bruce Blakeman. Trump has been. They
- 9:48Speaker 3: keep ripping it off. I'm trying to catch the person
- 9:51Speaker 3: that keeps ripping off my Trump poster. We got to
- 9:54Speaker 3: get Bruce Blakeman in. That's it. He's great. I was
- 9:57Speaker 3: there when he signed the mask. You remember the mask bill?
- 9:59Speaker 3: No mask. Yes.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Him and him and Marcy Pillop.
- 10:02Speaker 1: Yes.
- 10:03Speaker 3: Yes, Mozzie's great. We got to get Bruce Blinkman in.
- 10:06Speaker 3: That's it. That's the only way to save our New
- 10:09Speaker 3: York City, which right now is New York City under
- 10:12Speaker 3: the rule of McDonald's. We got to take back our city.
- 10:14Speaker 3: I want to just say something else. On September 9th, Wednesday,
- 10:18Speaker 3: we are doing a March for America. It's that starting
- 10:21Speaker 3: from Canal Street. Please join us. We're marching for America
- 10:24Speaker 3: and the victims and the heroes of September 11th. I
- 10:27Speaker 3: will be marching, though, but the police escort. And free
- 10:30Speaker 3: flags and merch will be given out. I want everybody
- 10:32Speaker 3: to join us in this march for America. God bless America.
- 10:36Speaker 4: All right.
