  Speaker 1: This is a miracle, there is no question. And there
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: are problems in this country between police and community. Yes,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: you are a donkey to the latest on that police
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: killing of a black man.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Now the new developments in the deathly spotshooting rampayes Man.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was a really bad day for him and.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: This is what he did.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: And so we are in a state of emergency. Okay,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: White supremacist violence, it is always have been the number
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: one threat to our society. But I'm also very proud
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that my wife was white. The practice club bitches.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: All right, Henny, please tell me why was I your.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Donkey of the day. Donkey today for Wednesday, November fifth,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: goes the CNN's Van Jones. Now, last night, the Democrats
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: had a good election night. They won the governor's race
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: in Jersey, Virginia, they voted for Prop fifty in California.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: They retained crucial seats on the Supreme Court. In Pennsylvania House,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Democrats flipped thirteen seats in the Virginia State Legislators. And
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: of course the mayor oral race in New York City
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: was won by Zuran Mundanie. And that's why I have
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to bring Van Jones to the front of the congregation
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this morning because last night Luran gave a speech after
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: his win in Van Jones thought the speech was divisive.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: I thought the opposite. Would you like to hear someone
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Mondanni's speech. Let's listen.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Safety and justice will go hand in hand as we
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: work with police officers to reduce crime and create a
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Department of Community Safety that tackles the mental health crisis
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: and homelessness crises head on. We believe in standing up
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: member of the trans community, one of the many black
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: women that Donald Trumps fired from a federal job, a
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Your struggle is ours too, and we will build city
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Hall that stands steadfast alongside Jewish New Yorkers and does
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: not waiver in the fight against the scourge of anti Semitism,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: where the more than one million Muslims know that they
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: belong not just in the five boroughs of this city,
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: but in the halls of power.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: How is any of that divisive? I personally love that
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: he covered all bases. He talked about working with police.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: He talked about, you know, helping people with mental health issues.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: He talked about helping the homeless. He talked about trans people,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: He talked about black people, black women, Jewish people, the
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Muslim community. Most importantly, he spoke to the working class
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: of all races. Okay, let people know he will be
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: a mayor for all New Yorkers. But Van Jones didn't
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: like that. He thought it was divisive. Van Jones had
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: this to say, let's listen, but I think.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: He missed an opportunity. The Mom Donnie that we saw
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: who was a lot warmer, he was a lot more embracing,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: was not present in that speech. And I think that
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: Mom Donny is the one you need to hear from tonight.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: There are a lot of people trying to figure out
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: can I get on this train with him or not?
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: Is he going to include me? Is he going is
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: he going to be more of a class warrior even
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: in office. I think he missed a camp tonight to
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: open up and bring more people into the tent. I
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: think he was using the microphone in a way that
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: he was almost yelling, and that's not the Mom Donning
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: that we've seen on TikTok and the great interviews and
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: stuff like that. So I felt like it was a
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: little bit of a character switch here where the warm,
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: open embracing guy that's close to working people was not
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: on stage night. And there was some other voice on
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: stage that said, he's very young, and he just pulled
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: off something that's very, very difficult, and I wouldn't write
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: him off, but I think he missed an opportunity to
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: open himself up tonight, and I think that that will
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: probably cost him going for.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Man shut the ff tevel. Okay, that was no opportunity
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: missed the man just one, all right?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: He just won.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: After you won, Yes you're gonna celebrate, Yes you're gonna
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: talk loud. What do you mean he wasn't warm enough.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: He took a victory lap, and he deserved to take
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: a victory lap because he won. I just don't understand
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: how in the era of Trump, we're still telling people
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: how to talk. The language of politics is dead and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Donald Trump killed it. And you know when you can
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: really talk that talk after you win? All right. I
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: listened to the Ron's whole speech of Zuran's whole speech
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: because I was trying to figure out what the hell
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: man could have been possibly talking about. It couldn't have
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: been the part I just played earlier. So the only
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: thing I could think of was the rhetoric he had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: put a billionaire class in. Donald Trump, Let's listen.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: advantage of their tenants. We will put an end to
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. New York will
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: So hear me. If we embrace this brave new course,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: rather than fleeing from it, we can respond to oligarchy
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: the city that gave rise to him.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: There's absolutely nothing divisive about calling out bad landlords who
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: take advantage of tenants. Okay, there's nothing divisive about calling
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: out billionaires who are corrupt and don't pay their fair
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: share taxes. Nothing wrong with calling them out, Okay, an
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: administration all right, that is trying to implement an authoritarian
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: strategy on America. There is nothing wrong with calling that out.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with calling out capitalism. Okay, there is
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: nothing divisive about it. There was something Zoran said in
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: his speech. He said, as has so often occurred, the
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: billionaire class has sought to convince those making thirty dollars
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: an hour that their enemies are those earning twenty dollars
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: an hour. Oh I love that. Okay. See, the reason
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of things don't change in this country is
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: because you don't have enough politicians that are willing to
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: challenge capitalism. And Zoran is doing that. So how can
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Van Jones be mad that someone is challenging capitalism and
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: authoritarian strategy? Well, I need someone way smarter than me
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: to answer that question, Maddie. Why would Van Jones calls
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Iran Mundani's speech divisive? Why would people say this was
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: an angry far left, rage filled victory speech.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: Very hard for me to get inside of Van Jones's head,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: but I would remind people the van Jones in twenty
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: seventeen is the guy who gave us the most famous
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: line of the fest Trump administrats. Rememberhen Trump gave that
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: speech in Congress. Van Jones want to see it and
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: said tonight he became in the United States. So Van
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Jones thinks that Donald Trump gives unifying speeches to make
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: him president, but thinks Zoron Mumdani, who's united a multi racial, multicultural,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: multi income coalition is divisive. That tells you more about
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: Van Jones than it does tell you about Zoron Mumdani.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, Jared Kushna's pale wasn't a fan of Zoron
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Mumdani's anti Oligaki, anti Trump speech.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I'm shocked. Please give Van Jones the biggest he huh.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: And when we come back, we're gonna talk to Matty
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Hushas some more. That's right about everything that happened last
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: night and all things going on in the world of politics.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: That's right. So don't go anywhere as the breakfast club.
