  Speaker 1: Breaking news. This just in all right here on one
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: leg up Alex Media. For all of you that say
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: f the cops and we don't need cops and defund
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the police, well then you try and stop IEDs in
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the middle of a protesting Mayhem scuffle. You go in
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: there and end the threat to people's lives, you low
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: lives who say defund the police, because not one of
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: you that does defund the police would be able to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: do what hero cops did yesterday in New York. None
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: of you who out there who say defund the police
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: would have been able to end the threat of real
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: IEDs thrown at sure, anti mo'm donnie, anti Islam protesters,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: but people. Nonetheless, isis inspired attack that the NYPD bravely thwarted,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: but terror on our streets. And I had only gotten
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: word about this a couple of days or so ago.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: IED's found outside Mayor's you know, Gracie mansion. I'm like,
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: what is that? And then I didn't have a moment
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: to check it. But now the story is fully told.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: I am thankful the cops were there to end the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: threat and the two terrorists because I don't care if
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: they didn't go off or not. Thank got it didn't
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: go off out on outside Gracie Mansion. They were terrorists, nonetheless,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and it just it feels like providence that those devices
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: did not go off that then MYYPD was able to
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: catch it in time. But this is why we have
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: to stand with the cops more often than not. This
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is why when people say defund the police, it just
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: it bothers me because to me, you know, people that
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: say that would not be able to jump on an
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: ied and into threat like that. Those officers risk their
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: lives this past weekend to keep us safe. And by
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the way, they found more devices as they swept the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: streets surrounding Gracie Mansion. And so what does this all mean? Well,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: unfortunately Isis's damage is done. I mean, they have inspired
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: many more than we might realize, and we are every
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: right to be on alert, especially after we bomb are
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: in too. And I did think Trump eliminated ISIS, but
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it looks like they've radicalized many more that I hope
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: I hope are found that this should inspire more leads
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: to get more of these ISIS inspired attackers. They had
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: said if this bombing happened, it would be bigger than
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the Boston bombing. That's what Jessica Tish said, That's what
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: others have said. That's what others have said. You can
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: disagree with people, but not in this way of throwing
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: IEDs in their camps, in their protesting camps. I want
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to play you what the mayor did say, because I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: actually thought he was very sincere. I understand his statement
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: at first was very non mentioning of the terrorist aspects,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: but today, in in front of the media, he said
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the right thing. I gotta play that for you.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I'm the first Muslim mayor of our city. Anti Muslim
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: bigotry is nothing new to me, nor is it anything
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: new for the one million or so Muslim New Yorkers
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: who know this city as our home. While I found
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: this protest appalling, I will not waver in my belief
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that it should be allowed to happen. Ours is a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: free society where the right to peaceful protest is sacred.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: It does not belong only to those we agree with.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: It belongs to everyone. I will defend that right every
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: day that I am mayor, even when those protesting say
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: things that I abhor. Let me also be clear about
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: something else. New York City will never tolerate violence, whether
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: from protests or counter protests. Many of the counter protesters
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: met this display of bigotry peacefully with a vision of
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: a city that is welcoming to all. But a few
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: did not. Two men, Amir Blat and Ibrahim Kayumi, traveled
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: from Pennsylvania and attempted to bring violence to New York.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: They are suspected of coming here to commit an act
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: of terrorism. There is video of these two individuals throwing
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: two devices towards the protest. The police department has determined
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: that these were improvised explosive devices made to injure, maim,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: or worse. Thanks to the swift and decisive actions of
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: NYPD officers at the scene, both men were immediately taken
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: into custody and the devices they brought taken off of
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: our streets. I want to commend the officers who were
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: on site. They faced a chaotic situation that very quickly
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: could have become far more dangerous. NYPD Chief Aaron Edwards
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: and Sergeant Luis Navarro ran towards the danger so that
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: others could run to safety. They are here with us now,
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: and I want to thank them today publicly as I
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: did yesterday privately and to thank the dozens of other
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: officers who responded without hesitation. That is courage, that is selflessness,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: and I'm deeply grateful to both of them and to
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: every member of the NYPD who works every single day
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: to keep New Yorker safe.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: We haven't had an attack since twenty seventeen, when that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: also I believe ices inspired attack or mowed down all
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: those people right here on the West Side Highway. We
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: were promised ISIS was gone, that they were eliminated, that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the threat was demolished. But it's clear this weekend the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: damage has been done and that others could be inspired
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: through videos, through YouTube. It's just there are means that
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: ISIS is going to get to people who want to
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: do harm. And so thank god these ID devices did
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: not go off. But I think as the city's on
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: high alert, cash Betel downing beers with the team, USA
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: should focus on now as always the threats of homegrown
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: of terrorism, homegrown or ISIS inspired. This is a wake
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: up call and I do believe this is a test
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and mister Merrimum Donnie can truly condemn and a DA Bragg. Look,
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: this is coming out of a week when the when
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the DA let those a holes that threw snowballs and
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: ice at cops go. So, of course there are people
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: in this city. There are terrorists in the city. There
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: are criminals in the city that think they can get
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: away with this ship. But they can't. But they cannot
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: and they must not. And these two better be given
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the book thrown, the book thrown in jail. This was
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: a terror attack in the making. They are Isis inspired
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and they need to be made an example of. So
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: mister mayor have your DA make an example of them,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: or more chaos and mayhem will ensue. Maybe not because
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: you're causing it, because you're so lax about it. When
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you say, oh, it's just a snowball fight, more criminals
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: are emboldened. That's where your mistake is here. And every
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: other time you downplay it until you have to truly
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: denounce it, and even your denunciations, your condemnations don't always
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: feel impactful enough. Just because bombs didn't go off, thank God,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean it's not terror even though no one was killed.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: It's a terror attack. That's what this is. An Isis
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: inspired terror attack, and these terrorists must be prosecuted and
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: treated as such. They aren't just kids throwing grenades. They're
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: actual terrorists. And if the police didn't step in, if
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: the NiPd did not step in, if those heroes did
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: not step in, there would be carnage on the Upper
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: East Side. So when you vote to defund the police,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you vote for carnage, is what I'm saying. When you
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: say defund the police, you want carnage. Well, I don't
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: want carnage here at one leg up Alex Media. I
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: want safety and security, and I want cops who are
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: not going to be afraid to jump in like those
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: cops that ended the threat did this past weekend the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: alert and is to jump on those IEDs and end
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: the threat is bravery, is courage, and it's why we
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: call him the New York's Finest. So please, whenever you
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: think say defund the police, think of this moment. Think
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of this moment right here, when the NYPD ended a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: threat that could have ended up in carnage like the
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Boston marathon. Suspect says he was affiliated with ISIS and
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: watched and watched propaganda on his phone. You see, week
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: after week we're getting these incidents, and that is our mayor,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Mum Donnie to cease and tell them to cease and desist,
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: that crime will not be welcome in New York City.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: DA Bragg must tell these terrorists, tell those attackers of
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: the cops, crime is not welcome in the city, or
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: I'll run for office and say it so
