  Speaker 1: Trump is also set to meet with Ukrainian President Zelensky
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: and French President Emmanuel Macron.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: In New York.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So far, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is coming to
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: New York later this week, but those two don't have
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: any meetings on the books so far, okay? However, Jewish
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: New Yorkers are awaiting Netanyahu's arrival.
• 2:31
  Speaker 5: He's going to be well received. There's a lot of
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: support for him. Bibi's doing a great job under tough circumstances.
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: The whole world is against him. Can't wait for him
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: to come and greet him at the UN.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: With open arms.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: If there's any type of gathering when he comes here,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I would like to be there.
• 2:50
  Speaker 6: The government, the prime minister of Israel is not perfect.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: The government, the mayor of this city is far from perfect.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: The president.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: Love him, not like him, not perfect.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Me, Michael Rapaport, I'm not perfect. He'll be received.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Yes, now that was comedian Michael Rapaport. He was also
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: on Traders. I caught up with him on the street.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: He couldn't quite get out that Netanyahu would be respected.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He went to go say it a few times, and
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: he stopped short of saying that.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: He probably wasn't aware that the prime minister, Bibi, will
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: come in Thursday morning, Give his speech at the General
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Assembly and leave right away. He's not even spending the day.
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: Right, right.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: And that's partially a lot of Jewish New Yorkers have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: said that's, you know, the rhetoric that has sort of
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: been built up blaming Mamdani for this sort of divisive.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: narrative that he's created around Israel. A lot of New
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Yorkers on the street say that now. Just an aside
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: really quick, Michael Rappaport is running for mayor.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he says that. He has said that.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Get into the ring of fire, pal. Get into the
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: ring of fire.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: He did say that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: We have him on social media saying that.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We have a video.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: We'll post that of him saying that. But he did
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: say that if there was a better candidate to do
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the job, he would Like he's he just wants somebody
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: to run this city.
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: He wants attention is what he wants. Come on.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Now, they feel that or Jewish New Yorkers feel that,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you know, the mayor incites division and Rappaport has been
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: a very vocal opponent, not just towards Mamdani, but the U.N.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: vocalizing long standing criticisms the U.N. has faced.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: The UN is a corrupt organization. The UN should be
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: shut down.
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: The UN is a garbage organization that should be shut down.
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: And I urge James Dolan to try to purchase the
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: building and turn it into a practice facility for the
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: Knicks and the Rangers. Bring the Knick players to Manhattan.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: They can live in Manhattan. They don't have to live
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: in the suburbs. No disrespect to the suburbs. The Knicks
• 4:55
