  Speaker 2: Tuesday morning, sitting friends in the morning on Trump Day,
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: President Trump will be joining me at about eight thirty,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: the only interview he's going to do today before he
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: heads on this epic trip to China later on tonight.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: We love the President, so that's a very, very big deal.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: But i gotta tell you, I'm getting sick and tired
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: not getting I'm already sick and tired of waking up
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: in the morning, getting to these studios before five am,
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: going over the big stories from the night before, and
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: watching these prohamas animals. That's what they are. They're animals
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: walking up and down the streets of Brooklyn or Queens
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: or Manhattan, terrorizing Jewish people. They call it protests or not.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: They're riots. They're aggressive, they're physical, they're violent. There were
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: clashes in the streets of Midwood, Brooklyn last night between
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: these animals and Jewish people. They can do these rallies,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: you know, in their own neighborhoods, but they choose to
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: do it in front of a synagogue, in front of
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a yeshiva, just because they know it'll end up in
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: all likelihood and phisticuffs. So here we go again, more
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: swastikas and queens. A big fight last night in front
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: of a synagogue in Midwood, Brooklyn, where I grew up.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: It's almost every day. So who better to talk to
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: about this? The continued issue with anti Semitism in the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: streets of New York and the man that I call
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: the King of all Jews, the former amazing assemblyman and
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: still I believe our biggest and best talker, Dove Hiking Dove.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Good Tuesday morning, buddy, how are you.
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: It's good to be with you, and I hear your
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: frustration and you are absolutely correct.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Oh, my frustration begins with the people in power. You
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: an assemblyman for almost forty years in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You stood for all the right things. When you've got
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: a mayor who is undoubtedly an anti Semite, he can
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: say what he wants. It doesn't matter, undoubtedly an anti Semite.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: When the guy actually vetos, you know, a built from
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: the city council that would protect Yeshiva students, when he
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: tries to veto, he couldn't do it because they got
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: the votes, the bill in front of the synagogues. When
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: he's hanging out with people like Nordine and Mahmud Khalil
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: and his vile, wretched wife, how do we expect the
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: city to respond when the most powerful man in the city,
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: the mayor of this city, Gove Hiken, he hates us,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: no no.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Question about it. I mean he is radical Islamis. It's
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: not only him, his wife, his family, parents, they are
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the real thing. They hate America, They hate Israel and
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the Jewish people, and they are a danger to the
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: well being of America and the Jewish community, no question.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Those in the streets, the violence that is taking place,
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: the hate. Hey, you don't have to worry because you
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: got Mandani is the mayor of the City of New York.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And when you get arrested and you get in trouble.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: Nothing happens anyway. There are absolutely no consequences. It starts
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: at the top sid with Mayor Mamdani. He can smile,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: he can do all of that, but he is one
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: of the most dangerous people in America today. And what's
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: going on in communities like Brooklyn. They come into our community. Okay,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: just imagine if we went into their community, we went
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: into you know, the local musque and we were demonstrating.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Can you only imagine what would be going on the
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: the reaction from city hall. The problem is the mayor
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: and it is very very said, what's going on? And
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: I And the bottom line is, you know, people ask
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: me what needs to be done, you know, giving all
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: kinds of we got to do this, We got to
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: condemn the Jewish community needs to create a Jewish defense
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: type organization. Yeah, it's time for Jews to be trained
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to be ready to act when necessary. That's the kind
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: of thing we need to be looking at the ADL.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: There's no purpose, there's Can you can anyone tell me
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: what the hell the ADL is doing during this TIPE difficulties.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: They'll tell us the latest statistics and that's it. Forget it.
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: It is a waste of time, the money that we
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: could save and allocate for other purposes. I mean, you're
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: talking in an organization fifty million, one hundred million dollars.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: And by the way, many of the other Jewish organizations.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: The issue of what's going on in New York is
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: not being tackled. And that is the bottom line. There
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: is no approach, There's no okay, this is this is
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the plan? Hell is the plan? Does anybody you know?
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Jews are being physically assaulted. Jews are being attacked, you
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: know when you're when someone comes over, he says that
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Hitler should have finished the job. You f and Jew,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you dirty Jew. I mean the implications people who you know,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: a Jew who listens to something like that does not
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: sleep that night, or doesn't sleep any night for a
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: long time. For God's sake, this is America, listen.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: I agree with you.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: I agree. I don't know what happened to those organizations.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: And I was a kid growing up in Brooklyn a
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: long time ago, Dove, the ADL, the Anti Dephamation League.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: They were taught by you know, when I was going
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: up and going to Yeshiva. But I went to Solomon
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Schechter for high school on Church Avenue and he's Fifth
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Street by the Prospect Expressway, the JDL. They would walk
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: out on the street. They beat the living daylights out
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: of you, these prohamas animals. They would get their asses
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: kicked up and down the streets of Brooklyn and Queens. Now,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily encouraging violence. I'm not sure you are either.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe we are, I don't know, but it is at
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: the point now we're standing outside and yelling and screaming.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I was invited, so are you, Sunday morning to some
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: rally and Queens where they're getting swastiki is almost every night,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and I said, I can't make it. It's Mother's Day
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and I didn't go. I had breakfast with my beautiful wife,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Danielle that day and we went for a walk, we
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: went to the gym. I'm not going to go out
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: there on Mother's Day and do that. But the point
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: is another rally. To your point, these rallies just don't work.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: It is time for the Jews to fight back. And
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: if it means physically, then it means physically. How about that?
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And Sid, you're absolutely correct, and it's not about looking
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: for trouble. It's about Jews not being afraid, having pride,
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Jewish strength. This is what I'm talking about. We need
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: to look at a different approach because whatever the hell
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: we're doing up until now, it is simply not working
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: and hugging, you know, Jews, hugging Mamdani and shaking.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: Hands with him.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: And look, I know he's the mayor. I know you've
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: got to deal with him. There's no choice. He is
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: the mayor. But you don't have to hug him. You
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: don't have to smile with him, you don't have to
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: do freaking pictures with him. You don't have to go
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: to Gray Steine mansion, you don't have to have a
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: little freaking pride. Fellow Jews.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Come on, Dove hike and this is why he's the
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: king of all Jews, and to be honest, one of
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: my favorite people ever. And I can't wait to see
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Dove next Tuesday night for his big annual event that
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: he puts on with his beautiful wife Shani. I can't wait.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: It's a big deal coming up next Tuesday night for
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Terry Coneim. But just getting back to the mayor. You know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you've got Julie Mennin and I've had my difficulties with
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: Julie Menin because not once dove hiking, but twice twice
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: publicly in local newspapers and in front of other folks,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: She's called me an islamophobe. I don't know what that means.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: I don't care what that means. If that means that
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: I'm afraid a radical Islam, then you're right. I'm an
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Islamo pau bull day. Okay, that is a legitimate fear.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That's not some crazy pobia. But she's called me that twice.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: But for what it's worth, I've forgiven her because I
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: do believe in her heart she's a Jewish lady that
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: she would like to stop all this and she would
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: stand up to Mom Donnie in certain instances, especially when
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: it comes to anti Semitism. How do you feel about
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the speaker of the city Council.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: I think she is definitely a ray of something good.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: She's at the tough situation. She's got a city council
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: that is pretty much to the leg but she did
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: become speakers, so you know, I'll give her an opportunity
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: to continue to do good and watch her carefully. But
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: the bottom line is we're playing with fire here happening
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: in our communities said, it's real. There's pain, this difficulty
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Jews removing Yamaica's Jews, removing anything that identifies them as
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Jews in New York, beautiful New York, the New York
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: that we grew up and that we loved. This is
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: not America, for God's sake, and as a federal government
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: needs to come in because the mayor is not doing
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: his job when it comes to Jew hatred. Look, he's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: against these real estate events that are happening in synagogue.
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: The mayor is against it. It's a green light to
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: the radicals in the streets. By the way, the radicals
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: in the street, everybody, you know what they support. They
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: support a lot of jobs. That's what they are all about.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: It's not about the Palestinians. It's about supporting the enemies
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: of America. And again, we need to be tough and
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: strong and not play like you know, let's sit down,
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: let's talk. I'm tired of the talk. I'm tired of
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: the speeches. I've done them. We need a new approach.
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: This is the most dangerous situation for the Jewish community
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: in my lifetime.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: Okay, sid that's saying at a couple I'm happy my
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: mother is not here. Yeah, she was an house schmist
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: in nineteen forty four. If she would be watching what's
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: going on right now, Jews in fear about the future.
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I can't even imagine.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: Standing there with my father. And you know, Dove, you
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: can't even count on the Jewish politicians. I mean, we've
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: got a lovely girl in Brooklyn. I know you love her,
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: to Ina Vernikov, and she's a great fighter for the
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Jewish people. I'm so proud of her. But then you
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: get an idiot and a hole like Brad Lander who
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: sits there with Palestinian Shabbat dinners and smiles with Mam Donnie.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: And he's just one of a bunch of Jews, not
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: just in New York, but even around the country, people
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: like Jamie Raskin and Bernie Sanders and Chuck Schumer and
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: you know, Jerry Kndler. These are Jewish people that are
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: siding with the Palestinians, not Israel, not the Jewish people.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So you can't even count Dove hiking on the Jewish
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: politicians and officials. A lot of all are to stand
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: up for us.
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Oh, You're absolutely correct. Next to people like Mamdannie and
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the radical Islamist our greatest enemy sid are fellow Jews.
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: And by the way, that's always happening in the history.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: It's happening to do and you know we got to
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: with it. People like brad Lander forget about brad Lander
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: is a lost cause. Well, who the hell is Shulmer?
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: For godsake? Well, you know, they're like missing an action.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: They're watching their back, they're concerned about the future. Who's
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: going to run against them? Worst enemies, the most dangerous
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: people next to the Mamdaviis of the world Jews period.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: No doubt, it is the liberal Jew to be uh,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: let's make it exactly what it is, a liberal Jew.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: So in the final sixty seconds, a king of all Jews,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: my dear friend Dove Hiking, let's kind of wrap this
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: thing up in a nice little bow. You said, listen,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the ADL, that doesn't work anymore. The JDL, I'm not
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: even sure they still exist. What exactly would you like
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: to see not just from the Jews. Is the reason
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: why Mike Huckabee, who's a Christian man, is President Trump's
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: ambassador to Israel. He loves the Jewish people, but he's Christian.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: And this is a fight dove that the Jews cannot
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: win alone. We need help from all Christian brothers and sisters.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: What do you want to see happen in the streets
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: of Brooklyn, in the streets of Queens, So all this nonsense,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: at the very least begins to stop.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: We need to create an organization, a Jewish defense type organization.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: We train people, young people, how to defend themselves. I
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: went through that when I was young with the Jewish
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: Defense League. I learned karate using nunshucks protecting myself. You
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: have to prepare Jewish psychologically to protect themselves and to
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: know how to protect themselves. Much can be done, but
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: there's got to be a will and then there's a way.
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: We just got to get to it. We got to
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: stop the rhetoric, the bull I'm against anti Semitism, iddo,
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: stop that. Stop it. Everybody's against santi Semitism and things
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: are freaking out of control.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Shine me up, though, whatever you want to do, Shine
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: me up, because this is this is not being dramatic.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: This is a dove hiking. I've nearly been arrested twice
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: with dove hiking on the streets of New York City
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: and beating up people because this is how Dove actually feels.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: He is enthusiastic and passionate about our people, and he
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: is frustrated like I am. And that's why, Dove, it
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: was so important for me to get you on this
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: morning after seeing what happened in Brooklyn and Queens Dove Hiking. God,
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: bless you, one of the great men. I mean that
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I love you to pieces. Thank you so much.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: Tuesday next week for Jerusalem. You are the superstar.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that, but you guys always treat
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: me that way, especially you and Shani though, so I
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: can't wait to see you next Tuesday night. I love you,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 14:41
