0:00
Speaker 1: I mean, I beat the living daylights out of Mom
0:02
Speaker 1: Donnie on Friday with the whole little Italy thing. But
0:06
Speaker 1: no one has beaten him up more than me since
0:08
Speaker 1: day one, you know that. I mean, at one point
0:10
Speaker 1: they had to apologize. I revoked that apology for calling
0:13
Speaker 1: him a Jahadiest, a terrorist, a socialist, a Marxist, a communist,
0:18
Speaker 1: and a cockroach. I revoked that apology because there's nothing
0:21
Speaker 1: I can say bad about this guy that isn't true.
0:25
Speaker 1: Like I said on Instagram a few days ago, which
0:27
Speaker 1: went viral, He's not just the worst politician in my lifetime,
0:32
Speaker 1: and if God is good to me, I'll be sixty
0:33
Speaker 1: in April. He's the worst person. He's garbage. So you
0:37
Speaker 1: could just imagine how excited I was to watch Robert
0:41
Speaker 1: Davey's video. How great was that? It was awesome. Every
0:47
Speaker 1: Italian American should spit on him. If I was here,
0:50
Speaker 1: I'd spit on him. That's the type of stuff I
0:53
Speaker 1: want to see these pussies in New York that dance
0:56
Speaker 1: around in all he's still on Mayor. He went Barren Square.
0:59
Speaker 1: Shut up, He's a low life. He's now by the way,
1:03
Speaker 1: that map the other day wasn't just the Italians he
1:05
Speaker 1: left out. He left out the Jews, he left out
1:07
Speaker 1: the Greeks, he left out the Irish, he left out
1:09
Speaker 1: the Germans. He hates everybody. Why anybody would go out
1:12
Speaker 1: of their way to make an argument for this guy
1:14
Speaker 1: makes no sense unless EU radical Islam. So Doaby took
1:18
Speaker 1: it a step further. Now, I've done one movie with
1:21
Speaker 1: Robert Davey inside Man Danny a the true story about
1:24
Speaker 1: the Gemini Lounge. But he's a phenomenal actor. He's also
1:28
Speaker 1: a great New Yorker. And if you read erl Lewis
1:32
Speaker 1: this morning, that racist from New York one. He's also
1:36
Speaker 1: on CNN, big fat black racist. He wrote this in
1:40
Speaker 1: the Intelligentsiuer this morning. The mayor's approach has been successful
1:45
Speaker 1: enough to scare off any credible local political opponents. Three
1:49
Speaker 1: critics who have announced they are considering a run against
1:52
Speaker 1: Mom Donnie in twenty twenty nine are John s Shell,
1:56
Speaker 1: a retired NYPD Chief of Department, comedian Michael Rappaport. So
2:01
Speaker 1: it is anything bad about those guys? Now here's a
2:04
Speaker 1: third one and WABC radio host Sid Rosenberg a bigot.
2:08
Speaker 1: He called me a bigot. This lion racist, a bigot
2:13
Speaker 1: who recently had to apologize for calling the mayor and
2:16
Speaker 1: America hating jew hating radical Islam cockroach during one of
2:20
Speaker 1: his on air rants, and again I revoked that apology.
2:25
Speaker 1: Now it turns out that Robert Dave, they want to
2:27
Speaker 1: come back to New York and month for mayor himself.
2:30
Speaker 1: So here he is the amazing actor. But more importantly,
2:33
Speaker 1: my good friend Robert Dave, Robert, good morning, Pyle, how
2:36
Speaker 1: are you?
2:37
Speaker 2: Good morning? Sid brat did talk to you and way
2:41
Speaker 2: in a bit on what's happening in my wonderful city
2:44
Speaker 2: that I was born in and raised in and now
2:47
Speaker 2: see being destroyed by a Marxist socialist communist and the
2:52
Speaker 2: you know this was preface, shid. Let me get Let
2:54
Speaker 2: me give some background, because people wonder you know my
2:58
Speaker 2: political mentor. One of them was a named David Horowitz.
3:02
Speaker 2: His family in the fifties were communists. He was a communist.
3:06
Speaker 2: He became part of the Black Panthers, and in the
3:08
Speaker 2: seventies he saw the corruption, he saw the lion, he
3:11
Speaker 2: saw what it did. He had a change of heart
3:13
Speaker 2: and became one of the most vibrant conservative political thinkers,
3:18
Speaker 2: and he was out in Hollywood, and he would give
3:20
Speaker 2: lectures and he would meet the greatest you know, Victor
3:24
Speaker 2: David Hanson. I would introduce people like that at these
3:27
Speaker 2: things called the Wednesday Morning Club, and we would discuss politics.
3:30
Speaker 2: David wrote a book called Unholy Alliance and two thousand
3:34
Speaker 2: to early two thousands Radical Islam and the American Left.
3:40
Speaker 2: And then Ariana Fialacci, a left wing journalist from Italy
3:45
Speaker 2: who wrote a book called In Give You with History.
3:47
Speaker 2: In the sixties, she wrote a book called The Force
3:50
Speaker 2: of Reason where she coined the term Arabia. And there's
3:54
Speaker 2: nothing against as I said in my rant, and I say,
3:57
Speaker 2: look at I've played all kinds of characters. In nineteen
3:59
Speaker 2: eighty I played a Palestinian sid that Alan Dersher, which
4:04
Speaker 2: was the technical advisor. It was a courtroom drama with
4:07
Speaker 2: myself as the Philosini. Sam Watterson was the prosecutor, and
4:12
Speaker 2: Ron Leebman, the Great Actor, was the Jewish defense attorney
4:16
Speaker 2: that the government put in to defend my character. Salim
4:19
Speaker 2: Jamie I played an Orthodox Jew in twenty twenty four
4:24
Speaker 2: in a film called Bardo, produced by a ninety year
4:26
Speaker 2: old Holocaust survivor that at movie I did a great film,
4:31
Speaker 2: ye an important film, historical, true story. And when I
4:36
Speaker 2: did that film in nineteen eighty eight, I played the Palestinian.
4:40
Speaker 2: I went to the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles
4:43
Speaker 2: spoke to a rabbi head because I did not have
4:46
Speaker 2: an understanding of the full Palestinian issue. I then went
4:52
Speaker 2: to the Assyrian. He put me in touch with the
4:54
Speaker 2: Syrian Mosque. I went and I spoke to them. Now,
4:57
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. When that film came out,
5:00
Speaker 2: it got rave reviews. It was produced by a man
5:02
Speaker 2: named George Englin, who produced The Ugly American and was
5:05
Speaker 2: Brandow and Paul Newman's partner. Intelligent, highly intelligent guy, and
5:09
Speaker 2: the last script of Levinson Link who wrote Columbo and
5:12
Speaker 2: other things. They were brigant writers in America. And the
5:18
Speaker 2: people that they said to me, they firstly said, don't
5:21
Speaker 2: worry play it, because stories have to be told. This
5:24
Speaker 2: is what they said. Now you know, it wasn't like, oh,
5:27
Speaker 2: you have to play a Palestinian. No, they understood the
5:30
Speaker 2: empathy and the understanding of the Palestinian situation. In the
5:34
Speaker 2: nineteen eighties, didn't know. Nineteen nineties, Clinton Clinton went with
5:39
Speaker 2: Arafat and I forget who the prime minister was. They
5:42
Speaker 2: had ninety eight percent of what they wanted, ninety eight percent,
5:47
Speaker 2: and arafats that I have to make a phone call.
5:49
Speaker 2: He came back and said the deals off.
5:51
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know why. You know why. And by the way,
5:53
Speaker 1: when you bring that up, I'm glad you did, because
5:55
Speaker 1: Bill Clinton brought that up, you know, weeks ago. And
5:59
Speaker 1: what that show is you is for all these people
6:01
Speaker 1: out there that cry every day about the lovely innocent Palestinians.
6:05
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry. You know, for me, it's not a
6:08
Speaker 1: gray issue. It's black and white. There's one side that's
6:10
Speaker 1: been victimized. That's my side as well, he's and the
6:13
Speaker 1: Palestinians they've been the ones blowing up sparrows, pizzerias, blowing
6:17
Speaker 1: up buses, aiding Hamas October seventh. My opinion, you don't
6:21
Speaker 1: have to say my opinion. They're the least sympathetic people.
6:24
Speaker 1: But the point is that proved to you when Arabat
6:26
Speaker 1: was given all these opportunities to take land all over
6:30
Speaker 1: Judea and Samaria, which other people call the West pank,
6:33
Speaker 1: he don't want it. You know why. It's not about
6:35
Speaker 1: the land, it's about killing Jews.
6:38
Speaker 2: What it is, it's about that overall philosophy and the
6:41
Speaker 2: other interesting thing. Another part of that story is that
6:47
Speaker 2: the in nineteen ninety four, I went to Jordan and
6:52
Speaker 2: I spoke to King Hussein, the father, and I did
6:56
Speaker 2: a film there, and I said, I'd like to create
6:59
Speaker 2: a school where the Jews and the Arabs can work
7:02
Speaker 2: together creatively. I says, because the CODs of being understanding
7:06
Speaker 2: stories and telling stories with each other, I says, would
7:09
Speaker 2: bring more for the area than all the bullets in
7:12
Speaker 2: the world. And I wrote an article in Breitbart several
7:15
Speaker 2: years ago saying why isn't the Gaza Strip like Disneyland?
7:20
Speaker 2: And at that time I said to him, in nineteen
7:22
Speaker 2: ninety four, the king who's saying of Jordan, I says,
7:26
Speaker 2: there's so much Arab money put fifty million dollars, they said,
7:29
Speaker 2: because they approached me to teach an acting class in Jordan.
7:32
Speaker 2: I said, I'd like to start a school in this
7:35
Speaker 2: area where Jews and Arabs can work together to creatively,
7:41
Speaker 2: to tell stories that share their culture and understand the
7:45
Speaker 2: working and the storytelling can be more important. I said,
7:50
Speaker 2: why isn't the Gaza Strip with all the money in
7:53
Speaker 2: the Middle East. Why isn't the Gaza strip like Disneyland.
7:57
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful piece. They could have made it beautiful.
8:00
Speaker 2: Why what happened? Now you talk to people, they blame
8:04
Speaker 2: the Jews. They say, well, Israel will let them do that.
8:06
Speaker 2: That's not true. For some reason, they want to keep
8:09
Speaker 2: the oppressor and as part of a Marxist socialist philosophy.
8:13
Speaker 2: They did it in South America. They infiltrated the religions
8:18
Speaker 2: the Marxists. They did it with Catholicism. Tim Kaine, who
8:21
Speaker 2: ran with Hillary Clinton, went to South America undermine Reagan
8:26
Speaker 2: with the liberation theology where the Marxists came into the
8:31
Speaker 2: Catholic Church and they're still around. They're still around to
8:35
Speaker 2: infiltrate Marxism Communism into society and the youth today. I
8:40
Speaker 2: don't just blame Mendami. He's a voice. His father was
8:43
Speaker 2: a Marxist Communist. His father was His father got his
8:47
Speaker 2: education in America because we've paid for it. The Kennedy
8:51
Speaker 2: Foundation in our government helped pay for his father's education. Mendami,
8:55
Speaker 2: who hates America now or who wants to change America
8:59
Speaker 2: his father It makes two to three hundred thousand dollars
9:01
Speaker 2: a year as a teacher in Columbia. He made ten
9:04
Speaker 2: thousand or fifteen thousand in Africa when he was a
9:08
Speaker 2: teacher of the Father, God bless him soul and the
9:10
Speaker 2: mother successful people, and the dam can blow off the Italian, American,
9:16
Speaker 2: the Jews, the Irish, the rest of that community that
9:19
Speaker 2: built this country, built New York City, fell off of
9:22
Speaker 2: those cowers when they were less than one hundred, one
9:24
Speaker 2: hundred Muslims in the country at the turn of the
9:27
Speaker 2: nineteenth century. And my grandparents came from Italy, Naples and Sicily,
9:33
Speaker 2: and we were taught the nineteen oh six all the
9:37
Speaker 2: people that are crying about victimology nineteen oh sixty New
9:42
Speaker 2: York Times, an article said the Italian was lower and
9:45
Speaker 2: dirtier than the Negro. But you know what, we were
9:48
Speaker 2: never then told, hey, you're victims. No, they said you could.
9:51
Speaker 2: This is a medica. Speak of the English ship. This
9:54
Speaker 2: is a medica. My grandfather enlisted in the US Infantry
9:58
Speaker 2: World War One, critically wounded to retire. Times went back
10:01
Speaker 2: into theater each time that three purple hearts in an
10:03
Speaker 2: oak leaf cluster. My dad the day after Pearl Harbor
10:06
Speaker 2: and all my uncles World War two. Maybe his ship
10:09
Speaker 2: was torpedo. He was three days in the water on
10:12
Speaker 2: a raft. They did this, and this current generation that
10:18
Speaker 2: is coddled, that has been infiltrated in the universities. The
10:22
Speaker 2: universities are subversive and they take people from other countries
10:27
Speaker 2: that have Marxist ideologies, give them scholarships. And even in
10:30
Speaker 2: our own country. I've seen it happen in Los Angeles
10:33
Speaker 2: where very bright kids picked early on from leftist families,
10:37
Speaker 2: given scholarships to Harbord and Yale and Princeton and other places.
10:41
Speaker 2: To now furthermore, this dialectical materialism and be able to
10:48
Speaker 2: infiltrate society by appealing to emotions and color. We never
10:54
Speaker 2: felt color. My first film was with Sinatra, I sing
10:57
Speaker 2: the songbook. I just had a big content in the
11:01
Speaker 2: Connecticut two thousand people the Songbook. Sinatra was one of
11:06
Speaker 2: the first artists to come out against anti Semitism and
11:09
Speaker 2: racial bigotry of all kinds. Because you understood the Italians
11:13
Speaker 2: we were spin on. They went eighteen eighty six more
11:16
Speaker 2: lynchings of Italian Americans than anyone else in New Orleans
11:20
Speaker 2: in eighteen eighty six. So I hear this Mindemi ignoring little. Literally,
11:26
Speaker 2: when my grandfathers they came to Harlem off the boats,
11:29
Speaker 2: they had relatives in little Italy that they stayed with.
11:32
Speaker 2: Because those immigrants, you had to stay at a house
11:35
Speaker 2: that somebody had an address for you. You had to
11:38
Speaker 2: have some money, you had to have a physical thing,
11:42
Speaker 2: a certificate of health, and you had to get a job.
11:45
Speaker 2: Today you come in and you, guys, I did a film,
11:48
Speaker 2: you know, to look at after almost fifty years in
11:52
Speaker 2: this business and traveling all over the world shid and
11:55
Speaker 2: seeing the world and understanding the world and reading about
11:58
Speaker 2: certain things, I understand the the the the propaganda, the agitation,
12:04
Speaker 2: propaganda which when Dami throws off with that smile and
12:07
Speaker 2: the rest of the left does they accuse us. It's
12:11
Speaker 2: that rules for radical garbage that we all know about.
12:13
Speaker 2: But they don't teach it. They don't teach fairness in
12:16
Speaker 2: the universities. So these kids get scholarships, they go in
12:19
Speaker 2: there and then they affect their parents and immigrants come over,
12:22
Speaker 2: some of them a wonderful, hard working still. But we
12:26
Speaker 2: were taught speaker to English. Yep, we weren't allowed to
12:29
Speaker 2: speak Italian. They spoke it in the house a little
12:31
Speaker 2: bit right. I learned the English, and the same thing
12:34
Speaker 2: with the Mish, Hookers, the Jews, the Irish. You know,
12:38
Speaker 2: it was a thing of embrace this country, love this country.
12:42
Speaker 1: They don't do that. They don't assimilate, they don't assimilate,
12:44
Speaker 1: they have no interest in doing that. About thirty seconds
12:46
Speaker 1: to go, Robert, I've got I've got a got Norm Coleman,
12:49
Speaker 1: I've got Sean Hannity, I've got Nancy Mace, whole bunch
12:51
Speaker 1: of others stopping by. Were you serious when you said
12:54
Speaker 1: that you would consider coming back to New York and
12:57
Speaker 1: run for mayor.
12:58
Speaker 2: Absolutely if it made sense. Look, and I understand the
13:01
Speaker 2: demographic over there is crazy, but I believe that if
13:04
Speaker 2: people got educated, and you have to realize that there
13:07
Speaker 2: are people there that have that, that have homes, that
13:10
Speaker 2: have rents, that there are people living in their homes
13:14
Speaker 2: and they don't have to pay the rent. They don't
13:17
Speaker 2: have to pay the rent. These landlords, they're not slum lords.
13:21
Speaker 2: I was in buildings were beautiful and people weren't paying
13:24
Speaker 2: the rent and they were just letting it go. In
13:26
Speaker 2: the courts, the corrupt courts of New York City just
13:29
Speaker 2: pass it down the thing and then dammy wants this free,
13:32
Speaker 2: and that's free and the other thing free. No, look it,
13:35
Speaker 2: I believe in help. You need help, you need assistance,
13:37
Speaker 2: but you need to pull yourself up, and people hate
13:40
Speaker 2: hearing that. I'm sorry to take the time. Thank you
13:43
Speaker 2: for the op before let you run.
13:44
Speaker 1: Just see. You know my dear friend, the great actor
13:47
Speaker 1: and comedian, Michael Rappaport, he'll be in these studios tomorrow.
13:51
Speaker 1: He also talked about running for mayor. But you do
13:54
Speaker 1: know that because he's been outspoken pro Israel like you are,
13:57
Speaker 1: Robert Dove and anti mom Donnie. But he can't really
14:01
Speaker 1: find an acting job these days. Aren't you worried that
14:04
Speaker 1: if you, in fact do something like this, you too
14:07
Speaker 1: will be branded a traitor by your friends in Hollywood.
14:11
Speaker 2: Look, I did that because they supported Trump. I was
14:14
Speaker 2: the first person who run on Bridbart the day he announced,
14:18
Speaker 2: the day he came down the escalator. I said he
14:20
Speaker 2: was going to win. And why because I've written for
14:22
Speaker 2: Andrew Bridbott was my friend. I've written for him since
14:24
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine. I talked about immigration in twenty ten,
14:28
Speaker 2: I met McConnell. Let's do something about immigration. Now and
14:31
Speaker 2: I had a I mean, look at my writings on
14:34
Speaker 2: Robert Dobby, author Bridbart just from I've hit every hot
14:38
Speaker 2: button sid that you can imagine when they when Obama
14:42
Speaker 2: renamed Mount McKinley, I says, this is the beginning of
14:44
Speaker 2: statues coming down. This is at the beginning of our
14:48
Speaker 2: history being more erased.
14:49
Speaker 1: Yep.
14:50
Speaker 2: And it was right, and a couple of years later
14:52
Speaker 2: what I said in that article happened. So anyway, I
14:55
Speaker 2: was a Trump supporter when Ben Shapiro hated him, everybody
14:59
Speaker 2: hated him. Mike Mark Levin didn't like him.
15:02
Speaker 1: That's true.
15:03
Speaker 2: There were guys, yes, I like.
15:05
Speaker 1: I voted against him. In twenty sixteen, I voted for
15:08
Speaker 1: Hillary Clinton. Now he loves me, loves me, so.
15:11
Speaker 2: There you well I vote. I said he was going
15:13
Speaker 2: to win, and why the day he came down the
15:16
Speaker 2: escalator and a lot of my Hollywood friends, even the conservatives,
15:19
Speaker 2: were laughing at me, I said. And then every time
15:22
Speaker 2: they counted Trump out, I wrote another article why they're wrong,
15:26
Speaker 2: And I turned out to be correct on this because
15:29
Speaker 2: you feel the nation when you I'm just a working
15:31
Speaker 2: class guy. My dad worked three jobs, said he worked
15:35
Speaker 2: three jobs. I didn't have no silver spool. When I
15:36
Speaker 2: got scholarships, I worked my butt off. I didn't know
15:40
Speaker 2: anyone in the business. Nothing to start. I had a dream.
15:43
Speaker 2: That was it, and the dream. My grandparents brought us
15:46
Speaker 2: here to America to have that dream. And you can
15:48
Speaker 2: have it, but you got to work for it and
15:50
Speaker 2: love it and embrace the country. Yes there are problems,
15:53
Speaker 2: but love the country. And then Dammy's got to stop
15:56
Speaker 2: his nonsense to New York. New York is a great city.
15:59
Speaker 2: I remember when before Rudy Giuliani was there. Sid before
16:04
Speaker 2: you couldn't walk on Broadway. I did stuff on Broadway.
16:07
Speaker 2: Women were being held up at gunpoint. There's crime, the
16:11
Speaker 2: disrespectful police. Juliani comes in cleans up in New York
16:14
Speaker 2: City and I got to say, it's not going to
16:17
Speaker 2: be a popular thing. But when the mobs were on
16:19
Speaker 2: the street, the streets were safe. Totally chose it was
16:22
Speaker 2: a place the place you could go, totally police right.
16:26
Speaker 2: The police did. They've been staple their hands have been stapled.
16:30
Speaker 2: Their power has been deballed by people like men Dammy.
16:33
Speaker 1: That's why I ended my video on Friday, which again
16:36
Speaker 1: went viral, not as viral as yours because yours was amazing.
16:39
Speaker 1: But I ended it with quote, where's the mafia when
16:42
Speaker 1: we need them? Robert Davey, You're brilliant, You're great, and
16:46
Speaker 1: uh I love you and keep coming back on this
