  Speaker 1: Charge into summer with Tooey and secure your holiday today
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: with deals for families and adults flying from your local airport.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Holiday sorted Twoey decencyas apply.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We are told that America is exceptional because we are richer, stronger,
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: more powerful than everyone else. The truth, my friends, is
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: that America is exceptional because here nothing is fixed into place.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: The frontier may be closed, we may have walked on
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: the moon, but the work of fulfilling the values first
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: enshrined in the Declaration of Independence. That work endures, and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: it belongs to us all. It belongs to to our
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: newest Americans, those standing here with me today, all of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: whom were recently naturalized yuck. Nearly a decade ago, I
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: too felt what you feel, the joy of no longer
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: being just a New Yorker, but an American too.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: Get out.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: You each hold a special power, the power to determine
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: what America means. The powerful have always known their answer. America,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and their view is an arena of supremacy, where only
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: a select few or allowed freedom, where not all are
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: created equal. America, if you ask them, becomes less the
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: more people it welcomes. America, they will tell you belongs
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: only to those with the right accent or the right
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: shade of skin. The rest of us, they insist, should
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: be grateful for merely being allowed to visit. How small
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: they are, how unoriginal. At every moment in our past,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: those who led through exclusion and isolation have tried to
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: win power and enrich themselves by turning us against one another.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: Division is the oldest trick in politics and the cheapest.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: But time and again, including two hundred and fifty years ago,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: those forces of division have been vanquished by the forces
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: of progress. There are some who respond to those who
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: ask for more from America with a simple refrain. Love
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: it or leave it, they say, But patriotism has never
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: been about pretending our nation is without flaws. Patriotism is
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: every act of righteous assent. It is every march led
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: under the heavy sun. It is every protest held a
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: decade before its time. It is precisely because we love
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: this nation that we will not leave it, stop it.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: After all, who loves America more than those who have
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: sacrificed so much to make it free. Ours is a
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: nation working each day towards the perfection in which it
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: was conceived, a nation striving each day to better itself.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: Therein lies the work of America, the striving, the bettering,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the reaching towards perfection. What a privilege each of us
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: has to live in a nation that every one of
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: its inhabitants can shape. What a responsibility each of us
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: possesses to prove ourselves worthy of all those who came before.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: What power each of us holds to bring America ever
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: closer to the greatness so many have seen when they
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: looked upon these shores, the greatness that, for two hundred
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and fifty years has been America.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: This horrible man at George Washington's desk, turned backwards, surrounded
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: by some of the most physically repulsive and ugly people
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: you'll ever meet in your life, standing there holding American blanks,
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: looking like hostages in a Jahanni John video. I mean,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: what a disgrace is that? How you saw it? Rand
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: of the vine? That's the way I saw.
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: It, Oh, totally and honestly, when you were there, I
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: was the same. How can you listen to that garbage
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: without expaling and dying and groaning and nextling. He's just
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: so aargant and so ungrateful, and just so wrong. He
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: just has no clue, no Daggy. You know, this is
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: a guy who was naturalized eight years ago. He was
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: born in u Dander. His family is originally from India.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: They went to you Dander. They were thrown out of
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Uganda by the same thought of kind of regressive fatalitarian
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: regime that he is trying to impose on us here,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: as he've got Stockholm syndrome. I honestly think the guy
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: is mentally ill because he thinks whatever happened to him
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: when he was a kid. He obviously I think this
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: is what happened. I think his family was extremely prevented, privileged,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: an elite when they were living in Uganda. They had
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: to leave. They were annoyed about leaving. They come to America.
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: His parents are bitching and moaning day in day out
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: about how it's not as good as their compound in Uganda.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: They don't have servants whatever. And so he grows, he
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: doesn't grub, and he's like a kid like he's age
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: or something when he comes here and if he just
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: decided it's not good enough and he's not being treated
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: like a little princeling. He has great resentment towards America
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: and Americans, and he believes it's because he's not white,
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: and so he takes it out on all of us
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: from then on. That's what he's just hell bent on revenge.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: And why did the guy only get naturalized as an
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: American citizen eight years ago as an adult? Why did
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: he wait so long?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Good question, very good question, and I think you've nell did.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I think that's exactly who he is. And then his
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: wife is vile, wretched, disgusting wife who went online enjoyed
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: all the graphic images of October seventh. This woman make
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: sure she's out of town for two fifty she goes
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: to some radical Islam retreat or something in Spain. Does
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: that not say a lot? I mean, this guy only
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: talks about how much he loves his wife. She is
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: so repulsive and disgusting. Why don't the local media Marshall Kremer,
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: who happened to like CBS Morgan McKay Channel five honeying
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: Katie Honing. I know I'm not going to attack the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: people who work in your business, but I will. Why
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: is it the local media as this guy about his
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: wife more often? He loves her, She's a love of
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: his life. She's not even here for two point fifty
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: what's that excuse, Well.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: He probably doesn't want to be here either. The last
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: thing they want to do is celebrate America. Of course,
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: the last thing they want. They think America is horrible.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: They hate America. The only reason he wants to be
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: mayor in the first place is to destroy this place.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: And you know, somebody said to me the other day
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: that I wrote a column saying that Obama is sort
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: of the disaster. He's the last man standing, the sort
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: of leader of the Democrat Party. And this friend of
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: mine said, no, no, it's ma'm Darney's right. And I mean,
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: I think it's right.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: He's right. And that's why I know. And that's why
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: when President Trump, who you know, how much I love
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: the President. I think he still loves me. I don't know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: I've been critical lately. That's okay. I can love people
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: and be critical. You know, when he when he talks
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: about how we're not going to stand you know, communist
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: communism is not going to make it here. What is
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: he talking about, President Trump? You've got a communists mayor
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: of New York City. We've got nine DSA people that
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: have won in New York City. We watched it up
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: in Colorado last week. We know what's going on in
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: Michigan and New Jersey. It's going on all over the country.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: So it's great that President Trump said we're not going
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: to stand for communism. But in the meantime, they're winning
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: almost every election. What is he talking about, Well, I mean.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: He's watch it's not you know, this is in particular
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: patches of blue cities where you've got particularly this sort
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: of green red alliance. It's the Islam with the commedies.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: And I mean, good luck to them, because you know,
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the commie who loved brands. That's not going to go
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: down well with the islamis when they finally wake up,
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: when they've sort of had enough of them, when they
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: don't need them anymore. But look, it's it's it's a spring.
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: It is still in this country a sprim thing. They're
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: never going to win nationwide, they're never going to win
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: the presidency. So I think he's right in that sense.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: And I know, you know, you didn't like and a
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: lot of people didn't like. I didn't like the fact
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: that he was so cordial with Mamdani and.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: What do you mean didn't like White House. He's still
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: doing it. We got about the White House. Just last week,
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: he once again, after the two weeks ago when we
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: had that awful Tuesday here and low lives like Valdez,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: and Lando and Shavalie won. The President comes out and says, hey, mom,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Danny got those guys across the communist finish line. And
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: he called them good look and again called them smart again.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: And I keep getting told by people, you don't get it,
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: said President Trump is playing three D chess. Listen, I
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: know the guy. I'm friendly with the guy. I love
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: the guy, Who've got a great relationship. It's enough with
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the three D chests. I live in New York. I'm
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: watching my city go down the tools. I don't want
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: to hear it anymore. I don't want to hear it.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: No, I agree, it's incredibly frustrating. And the only thing
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I can think of is that really it's here is
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: a gift at the midterms to the Republican Party. That's
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: what I hope, and that's what I suspect, because you
• 9:35
  Speaker 4: can pin the Democrats on them, Jani, and they are
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: so far like you know, it's not just Medicare for all,
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: you know, which is bad, nothing stupid, But a lot
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: of people will go for it. But to say that
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: we want to close Riikers Island, that we want to
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: abolish prisms, I mean, nobody wants that. Nobody in America
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: in their right mind wants that. Maybe you've got eight
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: percent of these completely crazy, radical, brainwashed people think that's
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: a good idea, but the rest of the America knows
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: they's a bit of common sense still and they're not
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: going to go to that. So I think that's the calculation.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: Bling Mam Danny round the neck of the Democrat Party
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: and see where it gets them in the midterms.
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: I hope he's right. I listen, I you know, we
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: need those midterms. We know what the second half of
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: President Trump's last presidency will look like. It'll be a
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: complete disanswer for the president. You know, yeah, exactly. So
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: while I just criticize the President just a little bit,
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: here's while again keep a bunch of praise on them.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: Look at the contrast between Mamdanni's speech this weekend and
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: President Trump's light and.
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: Day absolutely and also the stamps in which President Trump
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: gave that speech, you know, like right into the wee
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: hours because of the lightning and the bad weather, et cetera.
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: He just persevered, you know, like that. That shows a
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: real grouper. And same with all those wonderful people, those
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: wonderful patriots who waited up, you know, drenched with rain
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: and you know, and just listened to the President and
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: it was wonderful words. And I think that, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: we're in good hands and the country is healthy. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: mean people, people celebrated the fourth of July, real Americans.
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: So I think you can just say, forget about them, Danny,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: forget about the Democrats who beat their way into power. Eventually,
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: we have to have faith in the fact that the
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: good Americans, the majority of Americans, will prevail.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they will. But guess what, They're in Florida and
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: they were South Carolina.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: I still live here, that's true.
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't want I still live here. Yeah, you too.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: And I work here, and my kids are here, and
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: my beautiful wife is here, and I don't want to leave.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: And I'm sorry, but I can't celebrate totally with America.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: When Ma'm Donnie is my mayor, he's my mayor. When
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Brad Lander is in my city, when Chevalier is in
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: my city, when Baldez and Michael Lasher and AOC is
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: in my state and Chuck Schumer. The list goes on
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: and on. I'm sorry, I'm a New Yorker and we
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: are inundated with communists and traders and treason as Americans
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the worst people in the world.
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: Right, Illegal migrants do they bring in so that they
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: can vote for them Johnny Right and people like him.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: But that wasn't Maria Miranda. They don't even need the
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: illegal migrants, Okay, because every stupid young white blonde girl
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: whose wealthy parents put them up in apartments in Williamsburg
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: on the Upper East Side, they don't need illegal migrants
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: from Donnie to win. We have enough stupid New Yorkers
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: that hate this city and the states so much they
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: can't wait to vote for a before like that.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know that's true. And they're not even young ones.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: You know, that's sixty five plus. You see all the
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: old timers doing the no Kings protests. I bet they
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: voted for them, Darney. They were loved it because they
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: just anything to get at Trump and they're just full
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: of hatreds. There's no but look, Bruce Blakeman is the answer.
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: You know, we can't just sit on our laurels and
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: let Mam Danny and his cohort his bronies destroy the place.
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman is the only way to crimp the guy's style.
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: If he wins, he would be able to rain in Mam.
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Danny agreed, and I love Bruce. You know how close
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Bruce and I are. We think every day every day.
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: But he's not the favorite, you know, and he could
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: win just like Leezelden made it very very close. But
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the truth is, in this state which is mostly Democrats
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: who hate Trump, and everybody knows Bruce Blakeman is very
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: close with Trump, it ain't gonna be easy. Could he win, yes,
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: do you need him to win to save the state, Yes,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: but he's still the underdog. And if God forbid has
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: the favorite, she does win. Now you got four more
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: years of hukel in all likelihood seven more years of Mamdani.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, but I don't share the same confidence about
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: my city and my state as the rest of the country.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: No, I agree one hundred percent, and I mean twenty
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: twenty eight is not guaranteed. Imagine if you have Democrats
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: in all three parts of government, it would be disastrous.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: So that's why everyone has to fight, fight, fight for
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: Bruce Blakeman. I mean, he doesn't set the world on fire,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: that is Brue. But he is a good, solid, strong
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: person and he needs more money, he needs more support,
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: He needs people to believe in him. And you know
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: he has the answers. He has such good policies and
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: he's not a limp lame brain. And the thing is
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: he is up against Hopel, who is now a known quantity.
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: When Lee Zelden was running, no one really knew Hoche
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: was a sort of a pleasant woman. Now we know
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: what she is. He's just the puppets for them, Danni.
• 15:23
  Speaker 4: He's a thoroughly despicable human being. So I think is feasible,
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: very beatiable.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Oh so do I. And look, he's had great success
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: in Nasau County, which is mostly Democrat by big numbers.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: He still wins, and he wins easily because he's terrific.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: Bruce Blakeman is great. I got nothing bad to say
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: about the guy. My issue is New Yorkers, New Yorkers
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: who continue to find a way to screw good New
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Yorkers like Miranda de Vine and said Rosenbrough. That's my issue.
• 15:53
  Speaker 4: Well, two things they ought to do. One is to
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: register as independence so that they can vote in simaries
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: from now on for Democrats to make sure that they
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: aren't out of the worst Democrats of all. And then secondly,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: all the New Yorkers have gone to Florida. I'm sorry,
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: this is very unpatriotic of you. You need to change
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: either comeback or change the registration to vote for Bruce Blakeman.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I like that. You're right. They cowardly ran out of time.
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: I can't blame them, but a lot of them have
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: done that. They let us alone here, like at least
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: fight with us. And when they go there. I live
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: there in Boca for sixteen years. When they go there, Miranda,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: all they do is bed Mountain, New York. I don't
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: know I ever lived there. The dirt, the built, the subways,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: the Communists. They go there and in fifteen minutes they
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: hate New York.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: They hate it, I know, and some of my friends
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: have done that, so I didn't look. They don't. They're
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: not all like that, you know. Some of them absolutely
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: love New York and feel feel bad about having to.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: But like Carol Markowitz, she had to go because COVID
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: and her child was not getting proper schooling, and she
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: regrets that she doesn't. I mean, she loves Florida, but
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: she loves you the best.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, her parents are still here. I love Carol Marcot,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: which I love you.
