30:27
Could things get any worse?
30:30
Oh, no, things can get much, much worse, James.
30:34
No question about it.
30:36
Yeah, you know, it's so funny how they kind of, like, try to massage the stats.
30:39
While crime really...
30:41
Crime is stable to up a bit during Mamdani because they've really exploded... over the last 15 years, right? So there isn't a whole lot more to go up, but they could get worse because we've seen it get worse, right? We've seen this movie before in the 70s and the 80s, and we're repeating this all over again.
31:00
You know, the most telling stat, I think what I call a forward-looking stat, is that over the last year, harassment is up 50%, which means if you go into a bodega or you go onto the subway, you feel more unsafe.

7 MINS LATER

38:39
So do you think the Democrats ought to be worried about this one?
37:01
I understand that, yes.
37:02
But, but one does...
37:03
when one is looking at things that are legal, right? We're talking about Geneva Convention, about genocide, you really have to...
37:10
You know, the arguments I hear from people are so frustrating, right? I had a, I had a, I had a bar the other, the, you know, uh, like a, a few weeks ago.
37:16
I'm talking to this woman, young woman, and she's talking about genocide, and I'm trying to say, "Can you explain to me how it, they- they've broken a genocide? Uh, how, how they have committed genocide?" She goes, "So many people have been killed." I go, "That's not a legal argument on genocide," right? The same thing with, with, um, how they, how they conducted the war.
37:34
Were a lot of civilians killed? Yeah.
37:36
But if you wanna look at the numbers about the percent of civilians who were killed relative to the Hamas terrorists who were killed, and then compare that to other urban conflicts, the numbers compare pretty favorably.

6 MINS LATER

44:09
Mm-hmm
2:32
Can I get your reaction to what's happening over in France?
2:36
Yeah, I've got to disagree with Elon Musk when he says it's an invasion.
2:39
It's not.
2:40
They're coming from inside the house, okay? Yes, they have been coming in over the decades, but the problem that they're having is already now internal.
2:49
It's not really external at this point.
2:52
You know, shocking images, maybe even more shocking, Gabriela, is that I had watched three straight hours of CNN, and yes, you can't pay me enough money to do that again.
3:03
And I didn't see a single word about this.

9 MINS LATER

12:18
People are getting pretty fed up, aren't they?
27:57
How did she fool so many people for so long and why would she agree to this documentary?
28:05
Yeah, hi, Rita.
28:09
Look, when you're talking about incredible amounts of possible money to be made, people just want to believe, right? No matter how fantastical it may seem, if you make a credible argument and say we can make, look, she fooled some of the most powerful, wealthiest, smartest people in the world.
28:30
Her investor base, included Murdoch, the DeVos family, the Waltons, Kraft.
28:40
The list goes on and on and on.
28:41
And not only that, but also smart money.
28:45
Silicon Valley investors, she raised $1.
32:41
These are state charges, not federal.
8:29
Can you believe taxpayers are funding this army?
8:32
Yeah, this is really an unbelievable story.
8:36
But what it really does is speak to the left's belief that the US is really the most evil of all the countries and sympathizes with our enemies.
8:47
That's really what's going on here.
8:48
They want to deny reality.
8:51
and support terror.
8:52
And I say support terror because if you're denying the reality of terrorism, you are excusing terrorism.

6 MINS LATER

14:39
That's clearly an indication that Icelanders want to control their own destiny and have no desire to join the EU.
35:30
Mm.
35:30
And, and the re- and t- despite the fact that over, of that same period of time, the pursuit of women are much better by any metric they were decades ago, right? The, the majority of graduates from universities are women.
35:43
Their pay is equal to men.
35:46
Um, they, they, they get custody in 99% of all the court, uh, proceedings.
35:51
Get, their unhappiness has gone up, and I would argue the reason why is pretty obvious.
35:55
At the same time we've been pushing to women, "Girl boss it.
35:59
You don't need a man.
40:16
They say the regime is becoming emboldened.
3:53
But this crisis is far from over, isn't it?
3:57
Oh, yeah.
3:58
And by the way, so this is how treaties like Schengen fall apart.
4:04
When one country that you have a treaty with that will allow all of their people to move across borders start having this unhinged, crazy immigration policy, that's when you're like, hey, I'm not looking for that.
4:16
And you can look at countries like Denmark and Italy already saying, well, we may not abide by Schengen because we're not comfortable with your policies.
4:24
You know, this whole thing reminds me of when I took my trip on those rafts across the ocean, the sea, from Turkey to Greece, and I was on that with those illegal migrants coming across.
4:40
It was such an interesting experience because, you know, what you saw was the narrative when you came across is that you're talking about women and children, right? But everyone I travel with and everyone I stood for hours on the coast watching waves of these migrants come through, and they're all military-age men, right? And yet I saw the camera crews with their cameras down as all these men are coming through.
9:01
Pretty chilling army.
28:12
Mm
28:12
... that frustration that he had.
28:14
Um, look, the act is on life support, unfortunately.
28:17
And I, I just...
28:18
I need Democrats to better explain to me what their issue is with this thing.
28:23
They r- it's really unbelievable they're pushing back against something that makes so much sense.
28:29
Look, um, there are...

6 MINS LATER

34:56
Mm
26:19
Right.
26:19
And particularly with the Black community, it really happened in the '60s, um, after kinda Kennedy a- and, and they, the, the, the, the, the civil rights bill with Jo- with Lyndon Johnson.
26:30
And that's kinda when you saw a significant shift in the Democratic Party, and it's never looked back.
26:34
You're talking 90%.
26:36
Um, and I think you're starting to see a bit of a reevaluation of what's going on.
26:40
And, and look, um, I think, you know, what's, what's so fascinating was, you know, I was asking them is what this...
26:46
Maybe the sweetest moment was the, the person said to me, this one y- young lady, she goes, "Republican Party, that's the party that kinda wants people to help themselves, right?" I go, "Yeah." She goes, "You know what? We could do more with helping ourselves."
31:55
How did you present that, uh, to, to the college students? When you said, "Are you for socialism or against it?" Or did you explain socialism and ask them if they were for the policies that that would bring?
88:10
Yet the Democrats are routinely talking about how it would suppress the black vote.
88:14
You know, it's so fascinating how people like to speak for black people.
88:20
Right.
88:20
But when you go out and you ask black people, they're like, what's what voter suppression are you talking about? I don't never had an issue getting to the polls.
88:28
You know, it's with this video in particular, some of the pushback I got was interesting.
88:31
They said, well, you're talking about New York City where people can it's easy to get to the DMV.
88:38
What about if you're a rural North Carolina or rural Alabama? I'm like, you're conflating two things because rural Alabama has more poor white people than poor black people, okay? So you're conflating race and class.

21 MINS LATER

109:44
She posted it on social media.
88:10
Yet the Democrats are routinely talking about how it would suppress the black vote.
88:15
You know, it's so fascinating how people like to speak for black people, right? But when you go out and you ask black people, they're like, what voter suppression are you talking about? I never had an issue getting to the polls.
88:28
You know, with this video in particular, some of the pushback I got was interesting.
88:31
They said, well, you're talking about New York City where people can – it's easy to get to the DMV.
88:38
What about if you're a rural North Carolina or rural Alabama? And I'm like, you're conflating two things because rural Alabama has more poor white people than poor black people, okay? So you're conflating race and class.
88:50
Now, I'm going to argue that even if you're rural Alabama, you can get ID and that they all have ID, but those are two different things.
88:59
You know, the reason why I made that video, a story I don't know if a lot of people know, was that I voted in California.

21 MINS LATER

109:44
She posted it on social media.
5:16
So, again, for folks that haven't seen it yet, bring everybody in.
5:19
Yeah, I'm so excited to talk to you about this particular video.
5:23
I mean, we've talked about a bunch of them, but this is one in particular.
5:26
And you and I have actually talked about this a little bit before.
5:28
Yeah, so it's kind of my view is that the dirty little secret of the black community is they're a little more conservative than people think that they are.
5:41
And I think that people like, you know, I think one of the driving forces for me and my political viewpoint has always been through the lens of faith and God.
5:54
And that kind of led me down a certain path.

18 MINS LATER

24:26
However, I just wanted to submit that to you and see what you thought before we move to question two.
29:01
Mm.
29:02
That's a lot of cabbage.
29:03
Jeez.
29:05
Um, and yet and the whole thing, it's just that he...
29:07
Look, the w- I think the worst, honestly, the worst thing about all of this is that he destroyed the trust the American people have in our scientific community.
29:18
And while that cost us hundreds of thousands, in case millions of lives, um, I, I'm afraid that that's even gonna be a drop in the bucket compared to something that's gonna be so overwhelmingly bad, and we're just not gonna believe what they're saying because they refuse to tell us the truth.
29:35
I think that's the worst part of all of this, to be honest.
33:43
Mm-hmm
85:08
Tell us about it.
85:10
Yeah, the stabbing that happened here in the Upper West Side of New York is not only a few blocks away from me, but it's a synagogue that I spent the last 25 years going to.
85:21
Yeah, this is what globalize the intifada looks like, folks, okay? So when Omdani says global edifada, he got exactly what he was looking for.
85:33
This is not a bug.
85:35
This is the feature.
85:37
This is what these radicals want.
85:39
They want to embolden the Islamic radicals, okay? And the guy who did the stabbing in my neighborhood is, in fact, an Islamo-Marxist.
88:20
How are the Democrats going to handle this?
11:13
Can I get your reaction to all of this by Mamdani?
11:19
Yeah, totally tracks for Comrade Mamdani for sure.
11:23
First of all, obviously, doing that would be totally illegal.
11:27
It goes against federal statutes.
11:28
The U.S. is not a signatory of the Rome Convention and the ICC because the ICC is an absolute joke.
11:36
It's a kangaroo court.
11:38
Of course, the warrant for Netanyahu's address was signed by a person who was summarily fired for sexual assault allegations.

7 MINS LATER

19:05
What did you make of it?
28:52
Mm-hmm
28:52
... poor analytic thinking, check, uh, personal insecurity, check, and different psychiatric conditions.
28:59
Okay? So yes, those are all three of those things, and that's why she does the word salads.
29:04
You know, I did this video where I actually...
29:06
the word salad video prior to the election, and I went to Harlem, and we played a game.
29:11
And I said, "I'm gonna give you a, you know, a three sentences, just three or four sentences out of a whole long speech of, uh, Kamala Harris say.
29:18
Can you please explain to me what she is saying?" And not a single person in Harlem could tell me what it was I had just said.

9 MINS LATER

38:45
Yeah.
29:09
What's your take on all of it?
29:12
Yeah, if you watch the montage of hits she's taken, uh, over the years, the three years she's been playing, it's really unbelievable.
29:19
You really can't come to any other conclusion.
29:21
I'll, I'll tell Sophie Cunningham, Sophie, you say she's being targeted.
29:25
You're a teammate.
29:26
In the NBA, if they're targeting one of your players, someone's gonna lose some teeth.
29:31
I think you gotta enforce the fact that you're gonna pay a price if you target my player, the person on my team.
33:45
Mm-hmm
27:11
[laughs]
27:11
...
27:11
this is, this is no joke, Rita.
27:13
This is real troubling stuff because we're, we're, we're not talking about, like, DC and Chicago.
27:19
We're talking about New York City, which is not only the largest city in America, right? Obviously.
27:25
But also one that has been historically pretty moderate, right? Like, out of the last 33 years, 24 years, those 33 years have been Republicans or moderate Democratic mayors or independents who have ruled New York.
27:40
And now we've seen, you know, de Blasio, and now we're seeing Mamdani, who are absolute and complete radicals.

8 MINS LATER

35:31
Where, where is the administration on this issue, and could you see a deal with Iran sticking?
14:23
And a joint statement praising President Trump for the agreement with Tehran was released by the G7 leaders, who also pledged tougher sanctions on Moscow, Ami.
14:37
Yeah, um, look, this is, I, you know, I've said this before on your show over and over again that what he's accomplished with Iran has been absolutely incredible, and if he had just stopped after the bombing, we're in a much better situation than we were before.
14:54
Having said that, um, uh, it, it pains me to say this, but if it walks like the JCPOA and quacks like the JCPOA, I don't know what to call this MOA.
15:05
Now, I get this is just a memorandum of understanding, right? This is not an actual agreement.
15:10
But the path that I'm seeing here i- i- is not a good one, and, and let's start real quickly with, uh, the sanctions relief.
15:16
I know they're saying, well, there isn't really sanctions relief until we're later down the road.
15:21
Well, that's not really true, 'cause the bulk of Iran's revenue comes from oil sales, right? Which we have hamstrung them, if not almost completely stopped their sales outside of China, right? From before and, and now.
19:53
Uh, is, does that threat give you some confidence that the Iranian regime will at least to some extent keep up their end of the deal?
29:45
[laughs]
29:45
...
29:45
Jasmine Crockett is, as the president says, a low IQ person.
29:50
But more than that, those comments, you know, all joking aside, are absolutely evil.
29:56
She completely and totally justified the murder of this kid, okay? Um, she went on this podcast and she was trying to deny all the facts in the case, right? She was saying that the knife actually wasn't really big enough to kill him.
30:12
She was, she was...
30:12
All of the facts that led up to the murder, she was denying and she was changing.
32:06
Yeah
6:06
Wow
6:06
... was able to vote.
6:07
That, yeah.
6:08
And then, you know, another problem we're having's, having Gabriella, is the idea of ballot harvesting, right? And, and that's also a significant problem, where what that means is, in the US and in certain states, you can go as an individual with no connection to the person themselves and go get their ballots and take it from them, and go stick it in, in the, in the ballot box, right? And there's no limit.
6:32
You could do that, they, they ma- are manufacturing hundreds...
6:34
They're getting, one person could do 100 different or 200 different, um, uh, ballots they take in themselves to the voting, to the voting block, which is, uh, obviously it's a different problem.
6:44
And now we're seeing, there's reports that they're going to, they went to get homeless people to go vote.

17 MINS LATER

24:14
It's complicated, Ami?
35:42
Mm
35:42
... one of the two coming out of the jungle primaries, this ridiculously stupid process that California has to elect governor and mayors.
35:50
Um, but look, you know, I've said it before on this show, okay, that I, I, you know, you've laughed at me when I've said it, but I said there's opportunity in California.
35:57
I don't, not now, not necessarily, right? But I think there is something going on there.
36:02
And the last two governors race, you saw the Republican tick up each time, and I think you're going to see, I think ultimately, Xavier Becerra will probably win, only you don't know.
36:13
Um, but I think Steve Hilton will I think outperform the other two Republicans who, who ran against him.
36:17
People are really sick of what's going on, particularly, by the way, the high tech class, the guys who haven't left already, and many of them have.
40:05
[laughs]
28:10
Mm
28:10
... uh, wearing that Arsenal, uh, cu- kurta, I think it's called a kurta, uh, made up as, like the Arsenal jersey.
28:17
Um, bro, uh, there's...
28:19
You couldn't pick an American team to wear the jersey? And by the way, you're the mayor of New York.
28:24
There's literally 11 professional teams in the New York City area.
28:29
Um, but yeah, that kinda shows you where he is.
28:31
He's not really an American ally, right? He's a world ally.

8 MINS LATER

36:07
[laughs]
25:59
Ami, he says there is systematic abuse and unrestrained power within Israeli detention centres.
26:07
including trained rape dogs.
26:11
Rape dogs.
26:12
This disgusting piece of agitrop, agitprop that was dropped by Nick and Kristoff.
26:19
And by the way, not, not, the timing is, is, is, was exactly done the day before Israel was putting out its October 7th report on rape by Hamas against the Israelis on October 7th, okay? That wasn't a coincidence that was done the day before.
26:35
It's so disgusting Okay? To give you a sense of what we're talking about with Nicholas Kristof, this was sourced, sourced very much in quotes, entirely by pro-Hamas people and anti-Israel agitators.
26:52
So we're entirely clear, including one of the main sources, a guy named Sami El-Sih, And I will give you a quote by his main source, Samuel See, that he wrote October 8th.
30:34
And they do have this competing interest because China is a foe, but it's also a major trading partner.
32:23
What are they supposed to be ashamed of, Army, being Jewish?
32:28
Yeah, that's thick, considering what the murder and rape Israel went through on October 7th.
32:37
Yeah, what you see here and what happened with the riot that happened the other night in New York City from Palestinian activists, yeah, these people are all heroes of the Democratic Party.
32:50
They are heroes of the Tucker Carlson isolationist right.
32:54
party.
32:55
This is what it's become.
32:57
You know, as you know, I live in New York, right? I do most of these shows from my apartment in Manhattan.
37:17
How many other business leaders are doing precisely what Ken Griffin's doing, but just doing it in a far quieter manner?
