1:02
morning in Minneapolis yesterday. The woman fatally shot by an ICE agent has been identified
1:07
and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the ICE agent involved was treated at a local
1:12
hospital and has been released. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz says it's a patriotic duty to protest
1:19
against the Trump administration. Wow. Is that not encouraging? More violence? And who is Jacob
1:26
Frye? In today's show, I'll introduce you to the Democrat mayor who told ICE to get the F out of
1:32
his city. Not exactly the way to calm the chaos in a time of heated tempers. I told you yesterday
1:39
about Zohreh Mamdani's housing tenant advisor, Cea Weaver. She's been in the news frequently this
1:45
week. Why? She's an avowed communist who hates white people, believes private property should be
1:50
abolished, and that home ownership is a tool of white supremacy. Well, it turns out her mom lives
1:56
in Tennessee in a $1.6 million home. Wonder what she thinks about mom. There's a lot to cover today.
2:04
Let's get started. I told you we'd be back. And you shall know the truth, and the truth
2:10
shall make you free. It's Joey Hudson. I wanted to name it the Joey Hudson bill,
2:14
but you know, they don't allow you to name, put names on bills, but I wanted to call it the Joey
2:18
Hudson bill because I know that one's been near and dear to you for a number of years. That's how
2:22
it's done. Let your voice be heard. The truth shall set you free. Here's Joey Hudson. What a
2:31
day in Minneapolis yesterday, the woman fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has been
2:38
identified by the Minneapolis City Council members as Twin Cities resident Renee Nicole
2:45
Good, 37 years old. Good was shot by an ICE agent after blocking a road that law enforcement was
2:53
traveling on during an operation. Video shows what appeared to be Good driving into the agent
3:01
who was standing in front of her vehicle as he opened fire into the front of the SUV.
3:08
Uh, city council members wrote in a statement the morning in ice this morning, an ICE agent
3:12
shot and killed Renee Nicole Good, a member of our community. Renee was a resident of our city
3:18
who was out caring for her neighbors this morning, and her life was taken today at the hands of the
3:23
federal government. Anyone who kills someone in our city deserves to be arrested and investigated
3:28
and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Well, now, if you read this and you think that
3:35
this lady was just out quote caring for her neighbors, why would you be trying to block the
3:42
road that law enforcement is trying to use to serve warrants to people who should not be there?
3:52
You don't have anything to worry about with ICE agents unless you're doing something you
3:58
shouldn't be doing. Uh, the city council members call the incident an attack. They're demanding
4:03
ICE immediately leave the city so they can get rid of their chaos and violence that ended the life
4:09
of one of our neighbors today in their statement. They said now is the time to reach out and
4:13
support your immigrant neighbors. The group wrote Minneapolis is resilient and will not back down
4:18
as a federal government ramps up their attacks on our community. President Donald Trump posted
4:24
in True Social saying the situation is being studied in its entirety and blaming the radical
4:30
left for threatening, assaulting, and targeting our law enforcement officers and ICE agents on a
4:35
daily basis. The official White House account later posted on X saying we stand with the brave
4:40
men and women of the ICE and law enforcement who risk everything to keep our community safe. The
4:45
agent who was taken to the hospital following the shooting has not been publicly identified yet.
4:51
Protesters were caught on video a little later banging on glass doors and windows
4:58
outside of the Minneapolis courthouse this uh that this later in Wednesday afternoon demanding
5:06
ICE out now. The unplanned gathering came hours after this young lady allegedly defied ICE
5:14
agents orders rammed into an officer standing in front of the SUV. Multiple elected officials
5:20
including New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani represented Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez quickly
5:25
called the shooting a murder as anti-ICE protesters backed away from the doors of the courthouse
5:30
footage showed an apparent broken glass. Now Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem
5:37
said the ICE agent who fatally shot Twin Cities resident uh Nicole uh Renee Nicole Good
5:44
uh she said the agent again has not been identified as of yet uh is with his family
5:49
out of the the hospital she spoke about what actually happened yesterday here's the secretary
5:57
asked about a shooting that we just had in Minneapolis Minnesota um it was an act of
6:01
domestic terrorism uh what happened it was our ICE officers were out in enforcement action
6:07
they got stuck in the snow because of the adverse weather that is in Minneapolis they were attempting
6:11
to push out their vehicle and a woman attacked them and those surrounding them and attempted
6:16
to run them over and ram them with her vehicle uh an officer of ours acted quickly and defensively
6:23
shot uh to protect himself and the people around him and my understanding is is that she was hit
6:29
and is deceased we're continuing to gather more information but this goes to show um the assaults
6:35
that our ICE officers and our law enforcement are under every single day these vehicle rammings are
6:40
domestic acts of terrorism um we're working with the Department of Justice to prosecute them as
6:45
such we will continue to protect our ICE officers and in cooperation with other law enforcement
6:51
agencies as well you've seen me in the last couple of days deploy over 2,000 more officers to the
6:57
Minneapolis area and in the last two days we've arrested hundreds and hundreds of dangerous
7:02
criminals not just fraudsters who stole from the American people billions of dollars and put it in
7:07
their pockets and enriched their friends from overseas and themselves but also individuals
7:13
who committed acts of murder and rape and trafficking and drug exploitation and child
7:19
exploitation so we're going to continue to do our work and I want to remind everybody that the act
7:25
like we saw today of using a vehicle to try to kill an officer and his colleagues and the other
7:31
people around him is something that every politician every elected official everyone in this
7:37
country should be able to rally around and say that it is wrong and that sanctuary cities and
7:43
sanctuary states that protect individuals who do that should no longer be allowed that those
7:50
individuals that are in leadership positions in these sanctuary jurisdictions need to work with
7:54
us to make sure that every single person that's out there enforcing the law can be safe but also
7:59
so that all of our citizens can continue to be safe too domestic acts of terrorism like this
8:05
will not stand and I'm grateful that we have the leadership in Washington D.C. that recognizes it
8:10
and we'll make sure that it's working to keep every single community safe
8:14
regardless of who's in charge in that city now again DHS alleges ICE agents repeatedly ordered
8:22
good and others to get out of their vehicles for her to get out of her SUV
8:28
and all the video and you can watch there's multiple angles of the video that you can see
8:33
it's all posted online show her blocking the road it's very clear she was doing that
8:40
uh miss noem encouraged americans to pray for the ice agent and for miss good's loved ones
8:46
multiple eye sources told fox news none of the immigration agents involved in yesterday's fatal
8:51
minneapolis shooting were wearing body worn cameras so we don't have any first uh firsthand
8:59
video of the event however again there's plenty of video out there because so many people who were
9:06
these so-called protesters immediately had their phones up videoing these ice agents from all angles
9:14
as things spun out of control a protester was seen burning a U.S. flag yesterday too
9:21
this near the scene footage circulating on social media shows at least one individual
9:26
waving an american flag upside down a widely recognized symbol of political protest of
9:32
distress in the video the mass demonstrator then sex sets the flag on fire while surrounded by
9:40
cheering onlookers as the flag disintegrated reactions from the crowd were mixed up one
9:45
bystander was captured on camera throwing objects at the individual in apparent objection thank
9:50
goodness somebody sees the seriousness of burning a flag so let's take a moment and review what
9:58
happened and again look at the video yourself new videos have emerged showing this fatal shooting
10:07
they're chilling to watch captured again by bystanders appear to show multiple angles in
10:13
one video the woman's suv appeared to be parked perpendicular to the road as law enforcement
10:19
vehicles attempted to drive through this neighborhood you have mask officers who are
10:24
getting out of their pickup truck which was flashing police lights blue light so it was
10:30
very obvious who they were they and they walk up to the suv you hear a bystander in the background
10:36
yelling no as officers tugged at the driver's door handle and the woman began driving toward
10:42
an ice agent standing in front of her suv she hits him the suv hits the ice agent that's when
10:50
he fires multiple shots into the front of the vehicle then you see the agent limping out of
10:56
the way you see the suv speeding to the side of the road where it hits another vehicle and comes to
11:02
a stop a second video which appears to have been filmed from inside a nearby home shows the ice
11:08
agent standing in front of the vehicle firing shots as the suv hit him you can very clearly
11:14
see from that angle that the vehicle did in fact hit him the suv could then be seen again speeding
11:21
down the street so so again uh there's not really room for interpretation here it's very clear
11:29
what happened the official white house account posted on x yesterday afternoon in support of
11:34
immigration customs uh after this agent was was uh wounded said we stand with the brave
11:40
men and women of ice i mean that's that's the official stance of the white house is that ice
11:47
was only doing their job again let me encourage you find those videos watch them you can see them
11:53
i have them posted on my social media just search for joey hudson it's not your fault that losing
11:58
weight is getting harder and harder you're eating better you're moving more but your body isn't

13:00
shooting now let's start with the governor of minnesota timmy waltz said it's a patriotic duty
13:07
to protest the trump administration following the fatal shooting of a woman during an immigration
13:13
enforcement operation in minneapolis here's the governor i want minnesota's to hear this from me i
13:19
the desire to get out and protest and and to speak up to this administration of how wrong
13:24
this is that that is a patriotic duty at this point in time so governor what responsibility
13:30
do you have if in fact all these patriots you're talking about continue to go out into the streets
13:37
protest and disrupt law enforcement as they're working you want someone else shot you want
13:44
someone else to die uh the governor was speaking to reporters yesterday literally just uh an hour
13:52
or so after the shooting he was critical of the trump administration over the surge of federal
13:57
agents to the state to crack down on illegal immigration uh walsh tow reporters during the
14:02
news conference the desire is to get out in protest and to speak up to this administration
14:07
of how wrong this is that is a patriotic duty wow federal agents have been met with
14:14
protests sometimes violent across the country department of homeland security said federal
14:19
law enforcement officers have been targeted with vehicles and projectiles during immigration
14:24
enforcement operations we've seen this happen in other areas can you imagine being an ice agent
14:31
right now you you literally have a target on your back and people complain because ice agents
14:39
wear facial masks so that they're not doxxed wow um the governor said we're preparing the
14:48
national guard they're prepared to be deployed if necessary who's he deploying them against
14:54
the the ice agents possibly are we going to have federal agents being uh confronted by
15:01
minnesota national guard members or is he going to put them out on the streets to help ice control
15:07
the chaos uh also new york city mayor zoran mangani and minneapolis city council member
15:15
jason chavis on uh wednesday condemned the fatal shooting of course up 37 year old renee
15:21
37 year old renee nicole good look it is a bad situation and i feel for her family i read an
15:31
article on a statement in the new york post uh last night from her mom describing what a caring
15:38
loving individual she was and i don't doubt that her mom talked about how she tried to help people
15:44
i don't doubt that either but you don't help anyone by interfering with a law enforcement
15:51
agent period end of sentence uh no criminal charges have been announced against the unnamed
16:00
ice agent so far who opened fire during this incident the newly elected mayor of new york
16:07
claims uh this morning an ice agent murdered a woman in minneapolis only the latest horror in
16:12
a year full of cruelty these types of statements by elected officials is what causes further
16:20
violence do they not see this do they not see that they're encouraging people to get out on
16:25
the streets and do this are we going to have another george floyd moment in minnesota
16:34
uh video showed what appeared to be good driving into the agent who was standing in front of her
16:40
vehicle as he opened fire what else are you going to do if you're a law enforcement agent
16:46
you're trying to do your job and you have a woman coming at you in their vehicle what do you do
16:54
mom donnie wrote in an x post and ice as ice attacks our neighbors across america
17:00
is an attack on all of us new york stands with immigrants today and every day that follows
17:05
no sir it's not an attack on all of us if you're not out in the streets interfering it's not an
17:12
attack on you uh council member chavis later sent out a statement using the word murder three times
17:20
in the first three sentences saying my thoughts right now are with the loved ones of renee who
17:27
was murdered by ice on 34th and portland the agent who murdered our neighbor must be arrested
17:32
those who were involved in murder must be arrested again it's just throwing fuel on a fire
17:40
he went on to claim that immigrants in minneapolis were being kidnapped and
17:44
seeing their families torn apart by trump's foot soldiers now also chiming in representative ilhan
17:52
omar accused immigration and custom enforcement of unconscionable and reprehensible conduct
17:58
yesterday following this deadly ice and bob shooting omar said ice's actions led to the
18:04
death of a legal observer and blamed the trump administration for what she described as reckless
18:09
and deadly actions i would say that this young lady who was who lost her life was more than a
18:18
legal observer you observe when you are standing on the side of the street watching and not
18:24
interfering when you pull your car out into the street to block ice agents when you try to run
18:31
over an ice agent you become more than an observer representative omar uh omar wrote on x i am beyond
18:40
outrage that their reckless callous actions led to the killing of a legal legal observer in
18:44
minneapolis my heart breaks for the victim's family who will have to forever live with the
18:48
pain caused by the trump administration's reckless and deadly actions she accused ice of
18:54
terrorizing neighborhoods and said the agency's ongoing operation metro surge had spread fear
19:00
chaos and violence across minnesota saying this is not law enforcement it is state violence it
19:07
is simply indefensible and ice must be held accountable in a separate post responding
19:12
to videos shared by the department of homeland security omar disputed officials character
19:17
characterization of the incident saying you're lying there was no attempt to run the officer
19:22
over and no ice agents appear to be hurt get out of our city well ma'am you need to go back and
19:27
watch the video i've watched multiple videos and regardless of the angle that you're watching
19:34
it's very clear this lady tried to run over this agent clear and simple there's no other way to
19:42
look at it there's no other conclusion to come to all right let's kind of slow down just a minute
19:48
and really talk through what happened in minneapolis because once again we see emotion
19:57
literally outrunning the facts leadership is getting replaced with literal profanity
20:05
minneapolis mayor jacob fry probably never heard of him until yesterday
20:11
made national headlines after telling federal immigration authorities to get the f out of his
20:17
city this coming just hours after a chaotic confrontation that involved the ice agents
20:24
rioters and a fatal shooting of a woman by a federal officer here's the mayor they're sowing
20:31
chaos on our streets and in this case quite literally killing people so
20:40
they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense
20:46
having seen the video of myself i want to tell everybody directly that is and i have a message
20:53
for ice to ice get the f out of minneapolis we do not want you here
21:03
your stated reason for being in this city is to create some kind of safety and you are doing
21:08
exactly the opposite people are being hurt families are being ripped apart
21:15
mr mayor you're right families are being ripped apart
21:19
but because of actions and because of emotions because of of words like you just shared
21:27
your profanity is not what a leader should be doing now according to the department homeland
21:35
security federal agents again operating a a conducting an operation when crowds began
21:43
surrounding and blocking ice vehicles and yes we're told that the the ice officers did not have
21:51
body cams but there's plenty of video i keep saying yeah i know i'm repeating myself all you
21:57
have to do is go online to facebook to instagram to x youtube tick tock any of those and you're
22:07
going to pretty quickly find one of the many videos that are circulating out there and you
22:13
can see for yourself exactly what happened you see that this this lady attempts to drive her car
22:21
uses her car as a weapon because when you're involved with law enforcement like this and you
22:27
try to run one over you're turning your vehicle into a weapon the federal officials and secretary
22:36
gnome said it was domestic terrorism now that's their description mayor fry standing at this
22:44
podium shortly afterwards dismissed the federal explanation entirely calling it garbage and he
22:50
went straight for the microphones saying get the f out of minneapolis we do not want you here
22:55
well guess what mr mayor you don't get to decide when federal agents are in your city
23:01
if there are immigrants there illegally and look where was the mayor when we had all the somalis
23:09
uh and these uh all the fraud the billions of dollars of fraud with these daycares where were
23:14
you then mr mayor because and again let's pause here because this moment did not come out of
23:22
nowhere jacob fry has built much of his political identity when you kind of start looking into him
23:29
around resisting federal immigration enforcement he's known in the area again you and i have no
23:35
reason to really know him because we don't live in the area so this is not new when you kind of
23:40
do a little digging this is not reactionary this has been consistent of what mayor fry has done
23:47
earlier this year uh mr fry reaffirmed minneapolis as a so-called safe haven city he assured illegal
23:54
immigrants that city police would not ask about immigration status and would not arrest anyone
23:59
solely for being in the country illegally but mr mayor you can't control federal agents
24:07
the american people spoke very loudly in november of 24 telling president trump we are tired of
24:16
illegals being in our communities using our resources now the mayor even issued an executive
24:22
order prohibiting ice from using city property including parking lots they can't use city
24:28
parking lots to stage immigration operations in other words the mayor just doesn't criticize ice
24:35
he actively tries to make their job harder so when federal agents show up things go sideways
24:43
the mayor's response isn't restraint or coordination it's confrontation direct confrontation
24:52
now fry just won his third and final term he's term limited there's no next election to worry
24:59
about and that matters because when politicians don't have to face voters again their language
25:05
tends to get looser their tone maybe gets a little sharper because they don't have those polls
25:12
to answer to they don't have to worry about going to the polls again and what we saw this week looked
25:18
less like crisis leadership and more like positioning positioning with activists with
25:24
progressive allies positioning with the base that views ice not as law enforcement but as an
25:30
occupying force but here's the problem with that federal immigration law is still the law ice
25:37
agents are still federal officers and when cities publicly defy enforcement the result isn't peace
25:44
it's chaos because we still have that federal law indianapolis i'm sorry minneapolis can't just
25:51
decide that they're going to protect illegal aliens it's not their job they can't do that
25:57
they don't have that authority the city's no stranger to tension uh between leadership law
26:04
enforcement activists i mean after the death of george floyd mayor fry famously faced chance of
26:10
go home jacob from protesters including people within his own party after refusing to support
26:14
calls to abolish or defund the police uh he was booed he was shouted down he was accused of not
26:21
going far enough so at least he understands that you have to have law enforcement i'll give him
26:26
that bit of credit in response he tried to walk the line apologizing promising reform acknowledging
26:33
systemic brokenness while still stopping short of a full police abolition that balancing act
26:40
has sort of defined his tenure when you again do a little digging a little deep deeper dive
26:46
and you read what other politicians are saying about him in minnesota uh to moderate for the
26:53
far left to to permissive for law and order and now caught in the middle of a federal immigration
26:59
showdown so let's be clear and responsible here a woman is dead and that matters her family deserves
27:06
answers but facts can take some time although again we have the video to watch multiple videos
27:16
dhs says the officer acted in self-defense you can see that on the video the vehicle was used
27:21
as a weapon someone crying well you know he could have gotten out of her way well you know when
27:27
you're in that situation and you're about to be run over by a car your knee-jerk reactive action is
27:33
to protect yourself declaring the federal explanation garbage before investigations are
27:39
complete using profanity instead of uh waiting for the process telling federal authorities to leave
27:45
while evidence is being reviewed that's just that's just irresponsible on a leader's part
27:51
uh and here's what this really comes down to who runs the country do federal laws apply everywhere
28:00
or only where local leaders approve of them you and i both know the answer to that can cities
28:06
unilaterally decide which laws they'll enforce and which ones they won't again you and i know the
28:12
answer to that the mayor knows the answer to that too he's just posturing for public opinion and
28:18
what happens when local officials openly obstruct federal operations well i'll tell you what should
28:25
happen if there's any federal funding involved they should lose it because if every mayor gets
28:31
to veto federal law enforcement the system collapses we don't we don't need a congress
28:36
no reason for i have a u.s house and a u.s senate and the people are caught in the middle
28:43
uh they aren't politicians they're the families the neighborhoods they're the residents of that city
28:51
so you can oppose president trump's immigration policies you can criticize
28:56
isis tactics you can demand accountability when force is used all of that is legitimate
29:02
but telling federal officers to get the f out of your city
29:09
uh in the middle of an active volatile situation uh that's just again irresponsible of a leader
29:17
is pouring gasoline on a fire just like governor waltz did when he said that it's their patriotic
29:24
duty to protest minneapolis and the people of the entire state of minnesota deserve calm leadership
29:33
calm leadership they deserve leaders who will step up and say let's pause here let's take a
29:39
deep breath before this escalates families deserve facts and truth and the rule of law
29:48
doesn't survive profanity driven politics it never does never will so i'd say mr mayor
29:58
and governor waltz both of you need to calm down a bit both of you need to understand
30:04
that the federal government's not asking your permission to enforce federal law because i think
30:10
donald trump's going to keep doing that i don't think that he's going to be deterred from sending

31:39
segment of today's show from minneapolis i want to revisit a story i told you about from
31:47
new york's new director of the city office to protect tenants remember that uh this is a story
31:54
that's been bouncing around new york politics this week and honestly it says more about ideology
32:00
than it does about any certain individual whether it's a new mayor or any of his cabinet members
32:06
new york city's new mayor zoran mumdani he's barely settled into office and already one of
32:13
his key appointments is drawing some very serious attention that would be his housing and tenant
32:19
advisor cia weaver now serving as director of the mayor's office to protect tenants
32:26
remember this lady i told you about so why is she back in the headlines because past statements that
32:33
she made mostly on social media and in activist forums have resurfaced and they're not very subtle
32:41
weaver has previously aligned herself with openly socialist and communist ideas so she fits right
32:47
into zoran mumdani's new cabinet she's criticized private property she's questioned the concept of
32:55
home ownership as a wealth building tool and argued that housing should be treated more as
33:00
a collective good rather than something owned by individuals so in other words your home that
33:07
you're building equity in for your retirement you shouldn't be allowed to do that in her mind
33:15
you're part of the problem now you don't have to agree with that worldview and most americans don't
33:23
but it is a worldview that exists on the far left particularly in activist circles
33:28
mayor mobdani didn't stumble into this he chose it he campaigned alongside it now he's choosing
33:35
to govern with it he made that very clear in his inauguration speech that he ran as a democrat
33:44
socialist and he's going to govern as a democrat socialist so what took this from ideological
33:51
debate into headlines was the hypocrisy angle and at least the perception of it now
33:59
and this is funny reporters discovered that miss weaver's mother owns a home in tennessee
34:09
reportedly valued at around 1.6 million dollars that fact alone doesn't disqualify anyone from
34:17
public service so let's be clear about that you're not your parents bank account but when
34:24
you spent years criticizing home ownership as a social harm as being uh at the expense of others
34:34
and calling for limits on private property people are going to ask questions especially when your
34:41
own family benefits from the very system you oppose and that's exactly what happened when
34:49
reporters yesterday asked miss weaver about it outside her brooklyn apartment building
34:55
she declined to engage and ran back inside to hide later she told local media she regretted
35:01
some of her past language and said she wouldn't phrase things the same way today that's an
35:06
important moment i guess not because it ends the debate but because maybe it clarifies it
35:11
but here's the bigger point this story isn't really about see a weaver it's about a pattern
35:16
we see over and over in modern progressive politics radical ideas are often incubated
35:21
in academic spaces in uh by some of these activists non-profits or online platforms
35:27
places where the consequences of those ideas are abstract they sound they look good on paper they
35:33
sound compassionate they sound bold uh maybe even transformational but when those ideas collide with
35:41
real world questions like mortgages savings preparing for your retirement family stability
35:50
things get a little uncomfortable fast and that's not unique to miss weaver you see it nationally
35:57
you've seen it in cities like san francisco seattle portland and now new york people who
36:02
have benefited from stable systems often argue those systems should be dismantled usually without
36:08
explaining what what we're going to do to replace them i mean if you if you're bad if you're down on
36:14
homeownership then what do you do now most voters don't expect perfection what they do expect is
36:22
consistency uh if you're going to argue that private property is harmful people have the
36:28
right to ask does that apply universally does it apply to your family does it apply to government
36:34
officials or only to everyone else i mean those are fair questions but miss weaver didn't want to
36:41
answer them when she was confronted out out front of her apartment in new york
36:46
after she learned that they were that people were on to her about her mom's
36:50
a million dollar home and brushing them aside with i regret the wording doesn't fully answer
36:56
especially when the policy direction still points in the same ideological direction she's she still
37:02
wants to do the same thing she's going to be the the the tenant bully for new york city
37:09
here's where the story actually becomes important uh and look the proof's not going to be decided
37:15
on social media not in tweets it's not going to be in apologies or viral clips uh the proof is
37:21
going to be what the actual final policy in new york city is will new york city pursue aggressive
37:28
rent controls that further discourage housing construction and when you discourage new housing
37:34
destruction particularly in a city in new york like new york that needs more housing supply
37:43
because that's part of the problem in new york city now is there is uh there's a shortage on
37:49
affordable housing you don't tackle that issue by making things so hard on developers that they
37:58
stop building housing will it treat uh landlords as adversaries or partners in solving the housing
38:09
shortage there's a key to how you solve a problem like new york city has and it's not being in a
38:16
confrontational relationship with the developers who can help you out of the problem you have
38:22
so if the answer is yes then voters will rightly conclude that the rhetoric hasn't changed
38:29
only the messaging has uh and and look mom donnie has already told us he's going to govern like he
38:35
campaigned so we'll see new york city has real housing problems affordability is real if you've
38:41
ever seen rents on on a new york city apartment uh and you live down in the carolinas or some other
38:48
part of the country uh you know it costs thousands of dollars to rent a broom closet
38:56
availability is a problem families are being squeezed you think there's a problem in in our
39:02
area of higher rents you've seen nothing yet and the problem the additional problem in new york city
39:10
so much of their housing uh supply are older buildings that are almost uninhabitable
39:18
they're nasty so back to how they're going to govern um at some point leaders have to decide
39:26
whether they're interested in really solving problems and governing or just validating
39:32
activist wings of the party that helped get them elected some of the rhetoric and some of the viral
39:37
clips that got them out there to begin with ceo weaver's past statements may fade from the headlines
39:45
but the direction of policy under mayor mob donnie will not we all have to watch those
39:54
and that's what new yorkers and the rest of the country should be watching closely
39:58
because as i've told you before if new york is successful in some of these extreme positions
40:06
why does that matter to us who doesn't live in new york well it will spread across the country
40:14
if some of these uh elitist some of these woke leftists see that it can be done in new york
40:22
then they'll try it in other places because ideas have consequences especially when they
40:27
move from protest signs into city hall and that's what we've seen in new york city
40:33
nobody thought zoran mamdani was going to be a successful candidate when he first appeared on
40:38
the scene he quickly proved that wrong he's now sitting in gracie mansion that's going to be a
40:44
tough one for people of new york city that's it for today's show tears up next followed by mike
