• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's really just not good enough for some of these
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: pro-Palestinian protesters who showed up at a peace vigil and
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: confronted the mayor. You can see people yelling and fighting here.
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: We see this in New York often, but usually Mamdani
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: is not being yelled at, too. He was holding a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: candle stew surrounded by Jewish New Yorkers when he got
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: called out. Watch.

• 0:34
  Speaker 3: big story for you. Mondani, he's the man who now
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: the Democratic Party has basically turned into their de facto leader. Well,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: he did not have a lot that he wanted to
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: say about the October 7th anniversary without referring to Israel
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: multiple times as committing genocide. We have the audio for you, and...
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: His supporters, they're standing behind him as well as the
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Democratic Party. So what could this mean for the midterm elections?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Senator Ted Cruz joins me to talk about exactly that.
• 1:05

• 2:34
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Story number one.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: All right, Senator, I want to start with something that
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: really raised a lot of eyebrows, and that was Mondami's
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: statement that he made on the third anniversary of the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: horrific October 7th attacks. And there were a lot of
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: people that were taken aback by what he said because
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it wasn't just a day where he stood in solidarity
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: for those that were brutally murdered and kidnapped and raped.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: He also threw out that there was, in essence, genocide
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: that happened on the other side, going after the terrorists
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: in the West Bank, as he described it, in Gaza.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: That was the part that I think shocked so many.
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: Well, Mondami's statement was truly shameful, and it was released
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: as an official public statement from the office of the mayor.
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: So I'm going to read you what exactly he put out.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Today.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: Mayor Zoran Kwame Mandami, by the way, I didn't know
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: his middle name was Kwame, but they put it out
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: every time they refer to him, they refer to him
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: as Mayor Zoran Kwame Mandami, released the following statement on
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: the third anniversary of the October 7th attacks. Quote, this
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7th.
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis, and
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss. Now, Ben, frankly,
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: if the statement had ended there, it would have been fine.
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: Not terrific, but fine. He at least acknowledged that more
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: than 1,100 Israelis were killed, that that More than 200
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: were abducted. He did not acknowledge that women and girls
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: were raped. He did not acknowledge that dozens of Americans
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: were murdered and dozens more were kidnapped. He somehow left
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: the Americans victims of that atrocity out of his statement.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: But if it had ended there, it would have been acceptable.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: But it didn't end there. Then what Mondami really thought continues.
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: I'm going to return to the statement. Quote, the suffering
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: through the Israeli government's devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians, including more
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering is intensified with
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: shipment of food aid turned away at the border crossing.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: we mourn alongside them, all while knowing that our tax
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: dollars fund these war crimes. Three years later, we must
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue,
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: government continues its complicity with every arms shipment. To honor
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: the dead, we must fight for a world in which
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity. And
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: let me say, this man is a vicious, America-hating, propagandist liar.
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: Understand that virtually every word that he said in the
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: remainder of the statement, and three-fourths of his statement, on
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: October 7th, is blasting Israel and the Jews. Almost every
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: word of it is a lie. Number one, the death
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: tolls that he puts out are simply recycled from Hamas's propaganda,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: which he accepts with no hesitation at all. His claim
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: that there is a genocide in Gaza is an utter
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: and complete lie.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: It is false.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: There is not a genocide. That is not happening. And
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: in fact, the Palestinian population continues to grow and grow
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: and grow. in Gaza and in the West Bank. Genocides
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: do not result in populations growing dramatically. Who is it
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: that wants to do a genocide? It is Hamas. When
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: they chant, from the river to the sea, what they
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: mean is from the Jordan River to the sea, they
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: want to eradicate Israel and kill every Jew in Israel.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: It is Hamas who is advocating a genocide. It is
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: not Israel. Mondami's statement talks about Every drone strike targeting
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: a residential building. By the way, they are focused on,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: among others, taking out Nasrallah, the head of Hezbollah, which
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: that is how they took him out. And Mondami was
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: mourning that an America-hating, bigoted terrorist was taken out by
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: the Israeli military in a defensive attack. This statement, you know, look,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: it's one thing if he wants to put out his
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: vicious attack of Israel. Comrade Mondami, we get it. You
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: hate Israel. You hate Jews. You also hate Americans and Christians.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: But we get that. That's no surprise. But to do
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: it on October 7th is grotesque. October 7th was the
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: single worst one-day massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. Did
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Mondami acknowledge the rapes?
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: No.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: By the way, rapes on October 7th, which to be clear,
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: Hamas was so proud of that they videotaped and put out.
• 7:57
  Speaker 4: They didn't hide them. I've watched video of Hamas terrorists
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: carving the breasts off of women, playing soccer with the
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: heads of Jews they murdered, and by the way, murdered
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Americans as well, and Mondami takes that anniversary to instead say,
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: I mourn for the Hamas terrorists who lost their life.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It was disgraceful, and it's who Mondami is.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: We were talking about not only his statement, but then
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: his actions in New York and the crowds as well.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: They had a reaction to Mondani and the anti-Israel protesters
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: as well. Mondani's hands are red. That's what they chanted.
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: Well, Mondami's statement was shameful. On the anniversary of October 7th,
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: he attacked Israel. He accused them falsely of genocide. Three-fourths
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: of his statement was simply blasting Israel and blasting America,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: to be clear, for supporting Israel. And yet, nonetheless, his
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: radical base, that wasn't enough. Give a listen to this
• 9:00
  Speaker 4: coverage of Mondami's behavior on Fox News.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: Give a listen. The mayor of New York, Mandami, has
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: just finished answering questions about his response to the October
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: 7th events, and he took the opportunity to double down
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: on his suggestion that Israel is a genocidal state. He
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: used that word again, genocide. He insisted on doing that. Well,
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: last night, Mandami was booed at a vigil, an October
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: 7th vigil. Alexis McCallum joins me now. Tell me all
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: about it, please, Alexis.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Hey, Stu.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Well, it's interesting to see New York City's mayor under
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: fire now from both sides, including people who went to
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: bat for him to get him elected just last year.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: He's now accused of not being anti-Israel enough, while fellow
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Democrats say Mamdani have gone way too far. So on
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: the third anniversary of the October 7th Hamas massacre, Mamdani
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: is accusing Israel of genocide, saying in part, many New
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief and we mourn
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: alongside them, all while knowing that our tax dollars fund
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: the war crimes. He had to get a little dig
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: there at the end. Even though Mandani has called for
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, it's really
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: just not good enough for some of these pro-Palestinian protesters
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: who who showed up at a peace vigil and confronted
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: the mayor. You can see people yelling and fighting here.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: We see this in New York often, but usually Mamdani
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: is not being yelled at, too. He was holding a
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: candle stew surrounded by Jewish New Yorkers when he got
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: called out.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Watch.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Hamas chants and Hamas flags.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: In New York City again. And some of those activists
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: helped the Democratic Socialists win the mayor's election last year,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: now accusing him of turning his back on the Palestinian people,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: calling him a traitor.
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: I want to end with a message for Zoran Mamdani.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: You have a chance. stand with the people of Palestine.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: Do not leave behind the cause that you campaigned on.
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: And Mamdani was asked about this just a short time ago.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: He doubled down on calling it a genocide, as you said,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: and says he's not bothered by the protests.
• 11:19
  Speaker 6: Watch. And when we're speaking of that genocide, we're speaking
• 11:23
  Speaker 6: of one that has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians in
• 11:26
  Speaker 6: the last three years. As for those protesting me, I
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: am the mayor of New York City, and this is
• 11:32
  Speaker 6: what I signed up for.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: The mayor of New York City, and also the mayor
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: of a city that has the largest Jewish population outside
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: of Israel. Ahead of the midterms, this exposes a big
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: divide in the Democratic Party about Israel. Even one of
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: the harshest critics, Mamdani, is just not accused. Accused now
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: of not going far enough. So how do you win?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think you can.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Senator, you listen to that, and he really likes using
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: this word, accusing Israel over and over and over again.
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: The people, by the way, that were attacked on October 7th,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and were massacred on October 7th, and are surrounded by
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: terrorists all around them, and people that chant from the
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: river to the sea. And he says, no, no, no,
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: you should hate the Jewish people. They're the ones committing genocide.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: That is a key word he keeps saying.
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: Well, and you could hear the chanters yelling, long live Hamas,
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: and waving Hamas flags. That is Mondami's base. Those are
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: the activists who elected Mondami. Those are the people who
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: put him in power, and that is right now the
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: base of today's Democrat Party. Understand, Comrade Mondami is, I believe,
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: the most powerful Democrat in the country. We are seeing
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: a green-red alliance. We are seeing the Islamists and the
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: Communists coming together and taking over the Democrat Party. And look,
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: the Islamists and Communists, they don't agree on everything, but
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: they agree on who they hate. They hate Jews, and
• 12:57
  Speaker 4: they hate Christians. They hate Israel. and they hate America.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: They hate the Constitution. They hate the rule of law.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: And at the end of the day, the Islamists and
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: communists will turn on each other. Once they have eradicated
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: the Jews and the Christians, once they have eradicated their enemies,
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: ultimately the Islamists plan to kill the communists too. At
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, they intend to prevail, but
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: in the short term, they'll make common cause with the communists.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: And that is Their chant, long live Hamas, is revealing.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: There are some people who say, oh, no, no, no, no,
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: they're not supporting terrorism. They're just, they're advocating for a
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: two-state solution. No, no, they are not. They are saying
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: long live Hamas. Hamas are terrorists who targeted civilians. They
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: didn't attack military targets. They went house to house in
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: Israel on October 7th, murdering civilians for one reason, because
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: they are Jewish, kicking in doors, Murdering elderly people, murdering children,
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: murdering infants, raping women and girls. It was the systematic
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: target of civilians on racist grounds. And by the way,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: you know what else Mondami did on October 7th? What
• 14:11
  Speaker 4: was that? He went out and ostentatiously had dinner at
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: a New York City Palestinian restaurant that has an openly
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: genocidal menu. And this is a he ate at a
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: place called Ayat Heinz Hall on the Upper West Side,
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: and it is a restaurant whose sister restaurant in Brooklyn
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: has a menu section entitled, quote, From the River to
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: the Sea. And this restaurant, this restaurant, the menu for
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Heinz Hall, features a map of what it calls Palestine,
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: and that map, is the entirety of Israel. It's not
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: a two-state solution. It is showing what they want, which
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: is to utterly obliterate Israel, to wipe it from the map,
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: and to be clear, to murder every Jew living in
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Israel so that it is only Hamas Palestinians who remain.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: This is what he chose to do, not on any
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: given day, but on October 7th to make clear that
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: if given a choice between civilians, children, or Hamas terrorists
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: who murder civilians and rape children, he stands with Hamas
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: and his base, no matter how much he does that,
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: no matter how much he lies, no matter how much
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: he slanders and attacks Israel and Jews, it's not enough
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: for the radical base that is taking over the Democrat Party.
