  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Hey, So, remember that congressman who
• 0:09
  had to be censured and actually paid a one thousand dollars fine for being an
• 0:15
  ass hat and pulling the fire alarm during a crucial vote in the House last
• 0:20
  year. Remember that representative by the name of Jamol Bowman. I'm not gonna
• 0:25
  make this and you better not make this podcast a race thing, because it's
• 0:29
  not. This guy is now up for Congress reelection. He's gonna be up
• 0:38
  for reelection in the New York sixteenth district and Tonati debates against George Latimer.
• 0:44
  Now, Latimer is the current Westchester County executive, and whether you like it
• 0:48
  or not, I think if he out Bowman was a member of the squad,
• 0:53
  by the way, that would be better for Congress. That would be
• 0:56
  showing that we are not gonna lean into that far li left ism, if
• 1:00
  you will, of Jamaal Bowman and the Squad. But here's another thing that
• 1:06
  I think Latimer, who did not pay for this ad, by the way,
• 1:10
  should bring up. This is one of the most compelling ads I've heard
• 1:12
  on TV in the campaign cycle in quite a while. What happened to decency?
• 1:21
  It's gone in Jamal Bowman's New York Jamal Bowman put a cop killer up
• 1:26
  on a middle school's wall of honor, calling the killer a tremendous figure.
• 1:30
  It's the same Bowman who spent his career pushing dangerous conspiracy theories, praising a
• 1:37
  known anti semi who claimed Jews were responsible for nine to eleven. New York
• 1:42
  deserves better than Jamal Bowman. Fair Shake is responsible for the content of this
• 1:48
  ad, and this is a very powerful ad. I mean the cop killer
• 1:53
  thing when he put up on the in a Bronx high school. According to
• 2:00
  by the way, Carl Campanil makes a point that they didn't even censure Jamal
• 2:06
  Bowman for this act. But here's what happened. According to Carl Campanil of
• 2:15
  the New York Post, Bowman recently defended placing cop killer and fugitive Joanne Chessamind
• 2:28
  on his Bronx Middle school's hall of honor when he was the principal. Now,
• 2:34
  this is from the Detective's Endowment Association President Paul de Jacomo. He said
• 2:38
  as early as March, we do not believe Bowman represents any modern or enlightened
• 2:44
  values and is himself a disgrace to his own profession. Story reads on from
• 2:51
  Campanil. Bowmen was recently asked of a community for him on whether he regretted
• 2:54
  honoring Chessamond aka Asada Shakur, a black militant on the FBI's most wanted list.
• 3:02
  She was convicted by the way with two others in the execution slang of
• 3:07
  New Jersey State Trooper Werner Forrester in nineteen seventy three, before escaping jail and
• 3:14
  fleeing to Cuba. Bowman then responded to this question, who are you to
• 3:21
  tell anyone how they should engage in their own history and the people in their
• 3:25
  history. Bowman said that this past February at a younger's third precinct community council
• 3:31
  meeting, so he's been pretty defiant that he allowed this cop killer on the
• 3:38
  wall in his former Bronx Middle school. But I think this is a case
• 3:45
  Latimer has to bring to the debate tonight if I was advising his campaign now.
• 3:51
  Of course, if a Democrat wins this seat, it does raise within
• 3:58
  the margin, I think a little bit. But the point here is that
• 4:04
  this is a big primary and I hope that people come to their senses and
• 4:11
  in the Democrats, at least, you know, vote for someone who is
• 4:15
  a seasoned vet, a a established vet. Whether you like what he's done
• 4:19
  with the gun shows in West cheschican See County or not, whether you like
• 4:24
  the way he's been a Democrat or or whatever his policies. I think he
• 4:33
  is a far more better choice than Bowman, and I'm very curious to see
• 4:38
  what happens in tonight's debate. I'm only weighing into this one because when I
• 4:43
  saw that ad by Fairshake, which is a crypto uh firm by the way,
• 4:48
  their cryptocurrency company, and apparently he's voted three times against crypto has Bowman,
• 4:56
  so of course the crypto folks are not happy with him, so they
• 5:00
  made that ad separate from Latimer's campaign. I have to stress that, but
• 5:05
  if you hear that ad, you think of that how powerful it is,
• 5:10
  one of the most powerful ads you'll ever hear. And of course to hit
• 5:15
  him with the anti Semitic connection is not racist, it's not wrong. It's
• 5:20
  basically saying what it is. And at a time where most of that squad
• 5:26
  is supporting these college campuses people for protesting on them and really rioters for protesting
• 5:33
  on them. It's a little unnerving that he's part of a squad that supports
• 5:42
  a college, a university telling Jewish students don't come back to campus. He's
• 5:47
  part of a squad that supports propalasining protesters. So they even protests, are
• 5:54
  they really just eat? You know? When they do things like ask Jewish
• 5:59
  people in a subway car in New York are you Zionists? Multiple times a
• 6:04
  lah the nineteen forties Germany, in nineteen thirties Germany. We've really gone back
• 6:15
  in time when I hear that clip, and I on think that should be
• 6:19
  accepted. I think that should have been called out a long time ago.
• 6:23
  And I don't understand. I just don't understand how no one on the left
• 6:29
  has called out that behavior of literally making Jewish people leave the subway car in
• 6:34
  New York City. It is nineteen thirty four or twenty twenty four. I
• 6:39
  mean, really, come on, now, where is the condemnation of that.
• 6:47
  It's too painful to play this is it's not even worth playing because that's
• 6:51
  what they were they want to play. I'm not going to play it for
• 6:55
  you. But if you watch the video of them telling Jewiewish people to get
• 7:00
  out of a subway car. That's not protesting. That's pure evil. That's
• 7:09
  pure evil. That doesn't get across the free Palestine message. That gets across
• 7:13
  we hate Jewish people, anti Semitic message, and that's not right. So
• 7:20
  if you can vote in NY sixteen, and if you have a choice in
• 7:25
  the Democratic primary, I just don't think Bowman is the guy because of his
• 7:30
  skin color, not because of anything else. Because I'm saying that because a
• 7:34
  lot of people who are seemingly supportive of Bowmen are calling those against him,
• 7:43
  you know, racist, and this, that and the other, and actually
• 7:46
  really saying bad things about the Jewish people for supporting Latimer. Isn't that horrible?
• 7:51
  Isn't that horrible? I won't stand for it. I'm gonna take a
• 7:56
  stand before the pix eleven debate tonight because that record should be called out.
• 8:03
  Carl Kempnio's article in The New York Post should be highlighted, that that audio
• 8:11
  piece, that ad should be played again and again. And I know Latimer
• 8:18
  didn't fund it, but my goodness, that is a huge thing that swings
• 8:24
  in his favor, that ad alone, and plenty one more time. What
• 8:31
  happened to decency, it's gone. In Jamal Bowman's New York, Jamal Bowman
• 8:37
  put a cop killer up on a middle school's wall of honor, calling the
• 8:41
  killer a tremendous figure. It's the same Bowman who spent his career pushing dangerous
• 8:46
  conspiracy theories, praising a known anti semi who claimed Jews were responsible for nine
• 8:52
  to eleven. New York deserves better than Jamal Bowman. Fair Shake is responsible
• 8:58
  for the content this ad, so fair Shake doing a lot of good work
• 9:05
  in that ad, and it's it's just remember if your heart isn't called to
• 9:11
  vote for Bowman, it's not racist, it's just common sense. On the
