Why Does The Left Love Luigi Mangione and Hate Daniel Penny?

Time Text
*Mario's voice* *Mario's voice* Hey!
*Mario's voice* Thanks, Tim.

*Music*
*Music* Glad to be with you.
I just had an idea as we were watching that intro.
I have to write it down.
Okay, otherwise I'll forget it.
Whatever it hits ya.
Yeah, because, you know, I require a paper.
It's a wiener, that's what I drew.
We have a lot to get today.
We do have Councilwoman Vicki Palladino from New York on the show.
We also have the Reverend Al Sharpton on the show later on.
And the reason we have them on is because we're going to be comparing Daniel Penny versus Luigi Mangione.
Is it Mangione or Mangione?
I think it's Oni.
I don't know.
Murderer who will spend his life in prison.
The treatment from the media and exactly how they are trying to paint these situations and why it's not going to work.
Comment below if you...
Do you feel that?
It's not 2020. It's not 2018. It's not 2016 anymore.
The Black Lives Matter hoax is done.
And I mean that, by the way, it seems to be the case with black Americans as well.
You guys feel it?
So we're going to be talking about that quite a bit.
And because we're dealing with the deaths of individuals, in one case a murder, in one case a rightful defense, if you're watching on YouTube, you may at some point see this.
Head on over to Rumble.
It's a live show.
Weekdays, 10 a.m.
Eastern, including Friday.
If you are a member of Rumble Premium, Captain Morgan, CEO, you gave me the throat thing.
I don't think I did.
You did?
No, you don't sound like it.
How are you?
I don't care.
I hope that you wear this sickness for the rest of your days.
It wasn't me.
Yes, it was.
You feeling better, though?
I am feeling a little bit better.
My voice is still a little wonky, but yeah.
Are you feeling okay?
I have, yeah.
I just, you know, I had a fever crate, like, spiked out of nowhere yesterday and then went away.
Yeah.
And now I just have a throat thing.
It's been going around this office.
I just think there's something going around.
Everyone's immune system has just been messed up the last three months.
I don't know what it is.
And I just get just the tip of it, which is why I have your throat thing.
And...
Josh Firestein, when you hear this, you know him, you love him.
Saturday, December 21st, Bricktown Comedy Club.
Go support live comedy.
Jayfirestein.com.
How are you, sir?
Pretty good, pretty good.
I'm not, I didn't get just a tip.
Gerald gave me the whole thing.
Yeah, I know.
Yeah, I woke up with a sore throat, too.
I think it's because of my sinuses.
I got that clear.
I washed my nose this morning.
Yep, it does.
Well, I think that's why I've had, like, the fever, but I don't get the nasal congestion because this clears it out.
So I'm still able to breathe and be here with you, but I will lose my voice by the end of the day.
By the end of the day, I may sound like this idiot.
And there's no other way to describe this person.
We're going to go through the entire kind of ins and outs of Daniel Penny and the media malpractice, honestly, and certainly the left's malpractice in comparison to the shooter of the UnitedHealthcare CEO. But I wanted to separate this because it's so moronic.
And it's not just that it's really dumb.
But I always find great pleasure in when you can actually see the moment, and you see this with AOC, that they realize they've screwed up and talked themselves into a corner, and there's no way out.
You can see as the words, leave her mouth.
And she's going, oh no, I just made the case against myself.
How do I turn it around?
It's the dumbest response we have seen to the hero, Daniel Penny, who tried to protect his fellow citizen.
Here is AOC.
See if you can spot the moment.
He said that he would do it again if necessary, if there was a present threat.
What do you make of the comments?
Well, you know, doesn't that, I just feel like that tells us everything.
If we do not want violence on our subways, and the point of our justice system is a level of accountability to prevent a person who does not have remorse.
Oh, there it is! - No, no, no, no.
If we want to stop violence on our subways, uh-huh, and our system is to have a level of accountability, uh-huh, for people who do not feel remorse.
Oh, no, I thought you meant people who, like, kidnap kids, who punch old people, you know, like Neely, people who commit violent assaults.
Yeah, yeah, if we want to stop violence on the subway, then we need to empower American citizens to stop violence on the subway.
Oh, no, no, no, no, it's that he doesn't feel remorse for stopping violence on the subway.
You are a special kind of moron, AOC. Let's continue to the end.
I mean, even people who have engaged in manslaughter or have taken a life accidentally express remorse.
And so the fact that a person may express no remorse indicates that there's a risk that it may happen again.
Ah.
What?
Ah, there's a risk that it may happen again.
Or they were right in the first place.
Repeat offenders.
Yes.
About 44 times.
Yeah, exactly.
He might protect people again.
Oh, dear.
Oh, no.
Let me be really clear here, and I don't know if YouTube's going to have a problem with this.
I hope it happens again and again and again and again and every time someone who chooses to violate the law And violate the fundamental human rights of their fellow American citizen that there's a Daniel Penny to step in.
I don't hope that people die because of a chokehold that was applied too long, but that was a mistake.
There was no crime committed.
There was no misdeed committed.
I hope that for every violent criminal, every single one in the revolving door, especially in New York, of no cash bail, I hope that they run into Daniel Pennys again and again and again.
If I had my preference, it would be every single time.
Comment below.
It's not 2020. We can say it now, and you know most people agree.
And I don't care about their race either.
A Darnell penny, sure.
Right.
Yes.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
It could be a Uyghur, for all I care, and I still don't know what that is.
What?
No.
It's like a Chinese slave.
That's big of you, yeah.
Speaking of, uh, I don't know.
Speaking of Chinese slaves.
Benedict.
Oh, no.
Dedicated a nativity scene in the Vatican for the Christmas season.
We have an image.
And the scene actually features little Jesus resting on a Palestinian keffiyeh.
So a few problems with this.
Jesus was a Jew who lived in Judea, a Roman province.
The keffiyeh only became actually associated with Palestine at all and Palestinian nationalism in the 1960s.
And under Palestinian rule, this is the big one, the population of Christians in the birthplace of Jesus, Bethlehem, if you guys know all the songs, Well, it's gone from 85% in the 1940s to 10% in 2017. So, and again, hey, look, Catholic viewers, listeners, you have a problem with this too, right?
Like, it's not just, this isn't a Protestant-Catholic thing.
You're not a fan, I would hope.
Although I will say, it is better than the Chinese nativity scene that they put up, which, yeah, it's...
Donald Trump don't trust China!
China is an asshole!
And I will also tell you, it is way better than the distasteful New York nativity scene that we've seen.
It's, yeah.
Oh, wow.
Oh, well...
New York City!
LAUGHTER However, the Vatican came up a distant second to the awesome North Korean nativity scene.
It's perfect.
That portrait's in every household in North Korea.
Oh my gosh.
You bring that up again?
I love that.
That's awesome.
That's a winner.
It's great because he has a baby's face and a giant eggplant's body.
Oh man, imagine slathering that body in myrrh.
It'd be like a seal in an oil slick.
Is the Pope trying to make a statement or something with this?
I don't understand why you would put the baby Jesus in that.
What are you trying to say?
It's appeasement.
It's appeasement.
If the Pope is trying to say maybe that the Palestinian people, the people in Gaza and other places like that, shouldn't be shooting rockets into Israel, then hey, I'm all for it.
Where are you on that front?
It's all so tiresome.
It's so shallow.
I know.
Well, actually, this is the area if you read the Bible.
Like, I don't give a rat's ass.
Just shut up.
We're talking about Hamas.
Okay, okay.
All right, fine.
You win.
Queers for Palestine.
Go, go.
They didn't even exist until 1948. Okay, let me just grant your premise.
It doesn't matter that it's their ancestral homeland, even though, to me, it kind of does.
You lost the war!
Yes.
That's what happens.
You're lucky we gave you a sliver of anything to be in.
When you lose a war, typically it's bye-bye.
It's a very new phenomenon where people who lose wars get to bitch about it.
I know.
And get a megaphone.
I don't like how you get this.
And you shut up.
By the way, do go to clear at spelled xlear.com.
Use the promo code LWC20. You'll get 20% off your first-time order.
There's Clear.
There's Spry products.
And go and read their science there.
You know, as it deactivates rhinovirus.
I mean, they even did some studies on COVID, which they were allowed to publish.
And they were allowed to say that it deactivated COVID in the nasal cavity by 90-something percent.
But they weren't allowed to say it on terrestrial radio.
Oh.
So you can go and read.
They've actually paid for some money.
Can you take the tip off this time, or are you going to...
I can take the tip off.
Well, it's just because it's green, right?
Let's just see.
Let's see.
Circumcise that baby.
I can take it off.
Just like your Christmas bonus.
It's down!
Oh, no!
I was going to buy kefias with that.
All right.
All right.
We got to move on because we do have Palladino on the show.
Councilwoman Palladino on the show.
Hey, maybe future?
Who knows?
Who knows?
She's very saucy.
She's so funny.
We know this.
We've been covering the story, but yesterday, for those of you who've been living under a rock, but there's new information that's coming out.
The suspect in the UnitedHealthcare CEO shooting was the primary suspect right now.
I have to be careful.
We don't know if this is the actual killer, though it seems pretty clear.
Name, Luigi Mangione, was apprehended.
And a lot of people are surprised that this person was apprehended, how it all sort of came to be.
Though I will say we probably should have known as much considering the leaked audio that was available.
It just wasn't widely covered from a bystander of the shooting.
I'm Luigi.
Here we go.
Oh yeah.
Bingo!
Just a note to have our half-Asian lawyer ready.
Yeah.
With what?
Mushrooms?
I'm just going to check for my soul.
Hold on.
So, Luigi, here's what we know about this person thus far, and I'm going to tell you this.
I don't know that you're going to find an ideology, because some people are trying to say, this person was clearly left, this person was clearly right.
I've been pouring through this, and it seems like this may just be someone who was very privileged, who was some kind of an ideologue, because being an ideologue is kind of a privilege of the wealthy, or it's a luxury, I should say, who maybe just...
Snapped.
And that's sometimes harder for people to understand.
And looking at what we've seen, you know, I said, I don't think this person is primarily concerned with being caught.
I still stand by that.
If you consider that this person was at a McDonald's, not all that far away, considering that they could have gotten onto a flight with the weapon in question.
And on paper, a really smart guy.
Seems like a...
Well, actually, this person was, we also know, a valedictorian.
Here's actually a clip from Luigi's graduation speech to his classmates.
Having great ideas, however, isn't enough to innovate.
The class of 2016's inventiveness also stems from its incredible courage to explore the unknown and try new things.
Like murder!
He graduated from UPenn with a master's degree in computer science.
He actually apparently had a manifesto on him.
So a guy who has a manifesto on him and the weapon, this seems like someone who's okay with being caught.
What we do know is this person harbored ill will towards corporate America.
That's what the police have said.
It seems like this guy is all over the place.
And here's what I will say.
It's something that's often overlooked.
There is a problem with...
Intellectualism in this country, and by that I mean idolizing intellectualism because you will have people who make that their entire identity.
And going through this person's social media posts, through Luigi's social media posts, seeing them respond to Chris Williamson, Andrew Huberman, Peter Thiel, I believe Jordan Peterson as well.
There were some comments I saw with Tucker Carlson.
But then also taking into account that this person left a review of the Unabombers manifesto.
This person seems primarily concerned with appearing hyperly intelligent.
They'll say, well, actually, this point about Tucker Carlson, and they will go into a diatribe where they don't seem to have skin in the game.
That's what I see with Luigi.
But at every opportunity is trying to let people know how much smarter he is than them.
Seems like that may be where this guy found his identity.
And that can jumble you up, because intellect with no moral compass, it doesn't go anywhere good.
That's what we know.
Here's the review, too, from the Univomers manifesto from this guy, Luigi.
He said, it's easy to quickly and thoughtlessly...
Write this off as the manifest of a lunatic in order to avoid facing some of the uncomfortable problems it identifies, but it's simply impossible to ignore how prescient many of his predictions about modern society turned out.
Then he did say that Dean Obama was rightfully imprisoned.
Went on to talk about how you kind of ignore this at your own peril.
This seems like a guy who wanted to leave a large footprint online and wanted to leave a legacy that he was a hyper-intellectual.
That's the only kind of constant that I see.
Outside of it, Look, a person's a murderer.
A person is a murderer.
I think you're right.
It's unsettling when we can't put it in a box.
Like, we don't understand, like, oh, okay, this guy killed a CEO because he had, I know there was reports maybe from one of his roommates that he had back pain.
Like, crippling back pain or issues with his back.
Yeah, surgery.
Okay, surgery, yeah.
So that would make more sense.
Okay, he was denied coverage.
Okay, now we understand it.
We can understand the world.
This was a bad person.
But here's the situation that drove him to this.
It's much more unsettling to go...
We're not really sure.
We're not really sure what happened in this situation, but I think right now you're probably right.
We have to stay outside of this a little bit and say, you can't just box him into surgery denied or pain and going after a CEO of a healthcare company.
Maybe there's a lot more to this.
One thing that is for sure is the media's handling of this and the left's treatment and the left's venerating of this person in comparison to the condemnation of, I believe, a hero, Daniel Penny.
Not a hero in that he saved tons of people or he stopped a terrorist attack, but someone who tried to do the right thing.
I think the intent here matters.
Someone on Twitter, oh yeah, Viva Frey made a good point on Twitter saying it's been five days and we know more about Luigi than we do about Matthew Crooks after five months.
Weird.
Isn't that weird?
I don't know that it's weird.
Yeah, it's almost like it's completely expected.
It's unsettling for sure.
You tried to assassinate Donald Trump, right?
Everybody still remembers that?
Yeah.
It still happened, right?
Okay, good.
Yeah.
Because of the rhetoric from the left that was never ending.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Hitler, the guy who wanted to put y'all back in chains and all that stuff.
Yeah.
Also, by the way, last time we go to CrowderShop.com, where you can get it shipped here this week before Christmas, CrowderShop.com.
Go there, you get all the merch that we wear here.
I mean, there's so much there.
We just actually activated a whole bunch of Christmas merch.
We have some new stuff that just came in, so go check it out.
I love Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
All the big letters on that is stupid.
I'm going to make a shirt just to piss Tim off with his stupid criteria with a big X through it.
He has like five things that have to be in a movie for it to be a Christmas movie.
It's not true.
Go there right now.
Check it out.
I think it's perfectly reasonable.
You should put those five things on Twitter later.
Yeah, he should put those things on X. He already posted them on X. What I'm saying is I'm going to put them on a shirt.
I'm going to repost them just for Gerald.
Yes, you should.
That's the only reasonable course of action at this point.
Why would you agree with him?
Also, why wouldn't I? So, Daniel...
So, we were on the show yesterday as this came in live.
But Daniel Penny, the Marine on the New York subway, was found not guilty, was acquitted in the death of Jordan Neely for those who missed it.
Daniel Penny has been found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
That was the second count.
Remember, the first count, the jury could not come to a conclusive decision on a unanimous decision.
But this one, they were unanimous, not guilty.
The jury deliberating for more than 24 hours across five days before finally reaching this verdict.
Daniel Penny found not guilty on all counts.
And I find that broadcaster guilty of being silly.
That voice, Daniel Penny is not guilty.
He seems like he should be like a third tier greaser in a gang in the 50s.
He's like, yeah, you should cut him!
The understudy to the horse race broadcaster.
Yes, exactly!
So, look, and we show you this because we covered this yesterday live on it, and the left is entirely predictable, and it's important that you understand why.
Yeah, we absolutely called it, right?
You called it yesterday when the left said this stuff, or when they announced this, we knew what the left was going to say, so I think it's time for a Crowder called it.
Okay.
Come let Zoltar tell you more.
We're going to win the game, I guarantee you.
Watch the media talk about this.
I guarantee you they're not talking about it right now.
They're not.
But watch them when they do talk about this.
It'd be a negative thing.
It'd be somber.
Well, you'll definitely see, you'll definitely get the Van Jones and those people saying, well, this sends a message loud and clear that it's open season on black Americans in the subways of New York.
I guarantee you someone will say something that is, if not exactly that, something to that effect.
Watch, I'm calling it right now.
Come let Zotar tell you more.
We're gonna win the game, I guarantee it.
And then immediately the NAACP put out a statement.
The acquittal of Daniel Penny in the death of Jordan Neely has effectively given license for vigilante justice to be waged on the black community without consequence.
Well.
You see this everywhere.
Now let me tell you, and we don't show it to go, hey, see, we were right.
We show it to you.
You can hopefully, as we move forward, learn to recognize the patterns from the left going forward.
Right.
It's actually not that difficult.
Right.
And I do have the luxury of experience, having been here even on YouTube before Rumble, you know, since 2008, something like that.
Here's why.
The left cannot, in this instance, they can't do what we've done on the show.
We say, well, that seems like it was a bad shoot, or this police officer is in the wrong here.
You've never heard us say, we backed the blue across the board, because there are some good cops, there are some bad cops.
The left can't say, you know what, okay, this was a violent felon, this was someone who was basically harassing in a nuisance to his fellow New Yorkers, and maybe not this guy.
No, no, no.
They have to, once this achieves, or once this reaches a certain public profile, a story like, they have to make it, black people.
White.
They have to make it class warfare.
They have to make it racially.
Because if it's not racially based, then the left, these race peddlers, are out of a job.
Now, if it hadn't reached this level of notoriety in the public perception, they might try and sweep it under the rug and ignore it, like not this one.
But once it gets to the point where it's hit critical mass and people are paying attention, the left will always say, That this is a byproduct of systemic racism.
They cannot pivot from that.
I hope you understand that.
So know this going forward.
Just like any time there's a mass shooting, they will have to immediately go to gun control, even if we see that this is somewhat like the Nashville Manifesto, even if we see that this is someone who is radicalized in the public school system or is clearly a leftist ideologue.
It is very easy to predict these patterns, and I'm going to tell you something.
This is a rare moment in history.
It's not working anymore.
It can't work.
Black Lives Matter, Antifa, affirmative action at the Ivy Leagues, it's done.
People aren't buying what they are selling.
So you see this from the NAACP, and like I said, they will tell you it's open season on black people, that this was a wrong verdict, that this is more proof of racism in America.
Here you go.
They will not find a white man guilty of killing a black man in modern day America.
This is no different than Jim Crow.
Black lives do not matter.
Black people don't mean anything to white America.
It was foolish of us to think that a black man would get justice in a system designed to keep him oppressed.
So all the white people here, Y'all got work to do.
Okay, then fix your business.
Do cars have to burn for a black man to get justice in America?
We can't show up with peace.
Daniel Penny should have been convicted for murder.
Is that a clown?
I think it was Black Annie.
was the color of his skin.
I fought hard to get the anti-chokehole bill passed, which did pass.
But it should not only be...
Why is the Mario Star level song playing?
...servillians also.
Y'all make sure you come out tonight, we're gonna make, they're gonna hear us a- tonight.
Y'all gonna get y'all money tonight.
Wanna bet?
Y'all gonna get y'all money's worth tonight, mother f***er.
Yeah, load that s*** up.
Y'all gonna get y'all money's worth tonight.
There's a chance that Jordan, who simply wanted to be heard, wanted to be seen during his life would be seen He remembers tomorrow.
And that didn't happen in the courtroom.
I had enough of this.
The system is rigged.
It's not.
I wasn't surprised at the verdict.
Was it the right verdict?
Absolutely not.
I think he should have been found guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
But I wasn't surprised given where it was tried, New York County and the jury pool that you have in New York County.
No justice!
No peace!
No justice!
No peace!
No justice!
No peace!
F*** these racist ass, Kobe!
America, do better.
I am actually really sad and disgusted with the system, and it's time, y'all.
It's time for us to go to war.
I said what I said.
Well, I'll see you on the battlefield, sir.
You'll see him a mile away with that lip.
How do I reload this?
This is silly.
Why don't you put bullets in, like, a circle?
Why is it, like, in a flat box?
I don't like it.
And here's...
Black Lives Matter activist.
There's still a thing for some.
Really?
Hawk Newsome.
He actually went out.
Well, he said something that would get us removed from YouTube if we said it.
That black people should actually become vigilantes.
We need some black vigilantes.
That's right.
People want to jump up and choke us and kill us for being loud?
How about we do the same when they attempt to oppress us?
You know what?
That actually right there, you know what?
We can find some common ground because that is a deal that I would make with you right now.
So let me be clear, Hawk.
This is your deal, okay?
Is when you are being loud and abusive and violent, like Jordan Neely on the subway, disrupting your family, that people like me get to choke you.
Provided that you get to choke people who look like me, white people, when I actively oppress you, right?
So, when I actively oppress you, you can choke me.
I'm fine!
I accept that.
Provided that when you are loud and abusive, be it rioting or harassing your fellow citizen, I get to choke you.
Your terms are acceptable, sir.
And by the way, we're talking about vigil...
We need black vigilantes!
56% of murders in this country are committed by black Americans, despite only making up 13% of the population.
So I'm sure a few of them are vigilantes.
Percentage went up?
Yeah, 91% of black murders are committed by black people.
So, hey, look, I'm willing to bet that there are a few vigilantes...
As a matter of fact, you probably, as a percentage...
No, no, sorry.
You definitely have more vigilantes than we do.
They do have black vigilantes.
I lived in Seattle, as you know.
We had one up there.
Yep.
Phoenix Jones.
Phoenix Jones.
Great costume.
It was kind of a Batman ripoff, but...
But it was fun.
Yeah, yeah.
For like five or six years, he was just roaming around the streets of Seattle just pepper spraying people who were getting in fights.
That's right.
It was pretty fun.
Then he became an MMA fighter.
He had a record of 7-3.
Not bad.
There he is.
Yeah.
I remember that.
I remember that.
Yeah, he was a pretty cool guy until he got arrested in 2020 for selling MDMA to an undercover cop and being in possession of like five grams of coke.
You know, you hate to see the vigilante become the drug dealer.
Stay out of our business!
It's kind of funny.
He was multitasking.
You know what's funny?
Isn't it funny for the community, and I mean, by the way, what do you mean?
Black community.
For the black community who says, stay out of our business and really has a culture of policing their own, that there couldn't possibly be a community that is more emblematic of poorly policing your own?
The problem that other people have is when it bleeds into their community.
You want to live with the Jordan Neelys of the world?
Fine.
You need that acceptable.
We don't.
You want to say it's because we're white, because we're Latino, Latina, Asian, or black in the suburbs, which means we're an Uncle Tom?
Fine.
I accept it.
You can live in that squalor.
That's not the America we choose to live in.
And I hope that Daniel Penny is the brick wall that you run into again and again and again and again.
And here's the Johnny-come-lately, Neely's father.
Yeah.
Pontificating on how now he really misses his son even though he wasn't around.
I just want to say, I miss my son.
My son didn't have to go through this.
I didn't have to go through this either.
It hurts.
Really, really hurts.
Yeah, I'm sure it really hurt when you abandoned him into foster care after his mom was murdered and stuffed into a suitcase by her boyfriend.
So where were you, Dad?
Where were you, Pops?
Oh, no, wait, sorry.
I'm sorry, that's right.
It's racist for me to bring up the epidemic of fatherless households in the black community.
Could have used a black vigilante right there.
Yeah!
How about a black father?
Instead of calling for black vigilantes, how about we call for black fathers?
No, no, no, no.
That's white supremacy.
It's not white supremacy.
That's a byproduct of Western white supremacy patriarchy, as you see from Black Lives Matter, as you see from the feminist LGBTQ, AIP, gay shtapo.
So, hey, do you think Jordan Neely would have been better off if he hadn't been abandoned into foster care?
If he had a dad?
Hey, do you think that maybe Jordan Neely...
Would not only still be alive if dad was still there, but do you think that maybe in 2015 he wouldn't have kidnapped a seven-year-old girl?
Think that maybe if he had a dad, instead of being abandoned into the foster care system by 2019, he wouldn't have punched a 64-year-old man in the face?
Or in 2021, punching a 67-year-old woman in the face, fracturing her nose and her skull?
There was an active warrant for his arrest at the time of his death.
To be clear, while he was committing another crime, he was arrested 42 times in the last 10 years.
The system failed him?
Really?
I think we do have a failed system, where if someone can commit violent crimes against their fellow citizens, their fellow Americans, if they can be arrested 42 times in 10 years, and many of those times involve violent crimes, you're right.
It's a failed system.
Oh, wait, sorry.
Your solution is black people should get off committing more crimes if they have the right skin color.
My solution is third violent crime.
You don't get out until you're too old to cause harm to somebody else.
I want to read more headlines man put behind bars for the rest of his life.
Because of three violent crimes.
Then I do someone stabbed in the subway.
Then I do someone sexually assaulted in the subway.
We need a culture of fear and shame.
And I don't mean fear and shame to speak freely like the left wants.
I don't mean fear to purchase a firearm.
I don't mean fear to, for example, express a support for Donald Trump.
I mean fear and shame in the acts of harming your fellow American black, red, yellow, white.
I want a culture of fear and shame where you're afraid to commit that crime because you may be choked out.
You're afraid to punch an old lady in the face because you may be killed.
And I want you to feel shame from the community that right now supports you.
That's what we need.
That's the solution.
And it's not going to happen without, yep, let me get in my soapbox, a little bit of Jesus.
Sam Jew thing.
Don't worry about it.
They know who Jesus is.
By the way, the system didn't fail Neely.
Neely, as part of one of his, I believe, most recent arrests, there's 42 to go through, so I'm not sure exactly which one it was, was actually given a place to stay and given the opportunity to have things that he needed to get better.
Medical care.
Left.
I believe, if we can find it, research, find it.
I think he left within a couple of weeks or something like that.
He went back out on the street.
This is after punching a 67-year-old woman and being let go.
By the way, Stephen Crowder can't commit 42 crimes and be out there.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Zero chance.
No, for crying out loud, it'd be in the New York Post that someone saw me changing in the changing room.
Can you imagine if I punched a 67-year-old lady in the face for no reason?
God, man.
Don't jaywalk.
That's life without parole.
Yes, it is.
Yeah, but just tell them you're a Michael Jackson impersonator.
That's exactly right.
Then you'd be fine.
I can do a moonwalk as good as the next guy.
Certainly better than Jordan Neely.
And here's the thing.
Penny, in this case, it's also important to remember he seems like a very decent man.
He even said, I wasn't trying to injure him.
I'm just trying to keep him from hurting anybody else.
He was threatening people.
That was confirmed by witnesses.
To give you an idea, Penny's Marine Platoon Sergeant, he described him as a very honorable person, displaying value and commitment.
There was one website post that Penny, actually I believe he noted, that being able to serve and connect with the most interesting and eccentric the world has to offer is what I believe I am meant to do.
This guy has a pretty spotless record and here's the thing, it doesn't matter if he didn't.
Right.
He committed no crime.
Now, if you want to say he applied it improperly, sure.
A lot of people don't know how to apply it.
This guy was not looking to inflict harm.
This guy was looking to help people.
That's an important delineation to make as we continue on to this other shooter who's being praised and venerated by the left.
Luigi, is it Mangione or Mangione?
You've got to say Mangione.
Mangione.
Mangione.
You've got to have a breadstick in your hand.
Yeah, exactly.
Never an Imposta Bowl, which was Jesus' last miracle.
Shut up.
I give unto ye.
Fettuccine.
Never-ending breadsticks.
Can I have some of that salad?
No!
Judas!
Never-ending pasta?
Yes!
It's gonna suck.
No!
I tell you what, you know how much this never-ending salad bowl cost, Judas?
About 30 pieces of silver.
Go get some.
They weren't eating that carbonara, did they?
And by the way, none of this happens without you.
Everything we're able to say now.
Couldn't have said this on YouTube.
2019, 2020. So, thank you, Rumble.
Rumble Premium.
Mug Club is now Rumble Premium.
Rumble Premium is Mug Club.
$99 annually, or it's $9.99 a month.
Tomorrow, we are going to be announcing and unveiling the new mug for this merger.
None of it.
Mug Club undercover.
The show.
The show beyond the show.
Friday, Nick DiPaolo.
None of this happens without you.
Of course, you get Dr. Disrespect.
Now you get Barstool Sports.
You get Mr. Guns and Gear.
One-stop shop.
One umbrella.
Live sporting events to come.
We are so grateful.
It's really nice to not have to be afraid of being completely deplatformed in a race from big tech oligarchs.
And also, just to be really clear with you guys, some of you were noting that on mobile you thought everything was on Rumble Premium.
No, no.
All the free content is still free.
It's just on the mobile app.
It hasn't updated.
You might need to uninstall the app, reinstall it.
It's going to update this week.
We're on the phone with Rick.
Rick is on it.
Pretty sure everybody's going to see a difference this week.
And there is more free content than ever, to be clear.
And then additional content, if you're a Rumble Premium member, and ad-free.
So you're not confused.
If there is premium content in an episode at all, it will say premium, but not premium only.
Right.
So Friday Show says premium only because it's all...
Just like you can watch right now, live, of course, for free, and then you continue if you're on Rumble Premium.
So let's compare.
If I've missed anything here, you guys can stop me.
But let's compare.
It's rare that we get two stories like this that have a lot of parallels.
Penny...
And Luigi Mangione.
So, what you see is the left.
Let's look at their treatment of these two different people.
Why they are treating them that way versus the reality.
So, Daniel Penny from the left.
He's being treated as a white vigilante.
Just shy of white supremacy because there's no evidence there.
So, Madi Hassan wrote, imagine, just imagine if Jordan Neely had been white and Daniel Penny was black.
Imagine what some of the folks defending Penny today would be saying.
Just imagine.
Imagine.
And by the way, you don't have to imagine.
Libs of TikTok nuked him from orbit with a story basically saying, yeah, here's another story where a black guy stabbed a white guy in the same kind of situation and is out free.
Yep.
So I don't have to imagine.
Already happened.
Didn't even make the news, actually.
It won't.
You have Representative Summer Lee from Pennsylvania saying, the acquittal of Daniel Penny in the murder of Jordan Neely is a painful reminder of a long-standing reality.
Vigilante violence against black people often goes unchecked.
How was I able to predict this to the letter?
Because they cannot approach it any other way.
The left can't get away from the social justice causes.
It's not possible.
So just remember, if they try and present as more moderate, this is who they are.
They're lying to you.
Expect it to get a little more subversive before the next election because they know they can't win.
But this is who they are.
Jasmine Crockett in Texas said, this is more than a miscarriage of justice.
It is a green light for more violence against unarmed black Americans.
How do you know he's unarmed?
That's a good point.
How do you know he's unarmed?
Hold on a second.
If nothing is done...
So then what would 42 arrests in 10 years and an active warrant out for this person while this person has punched two senior...
Two elderly citizens in the face and kidnapped a seven-year-old girl.
Is that a green light to continue doing that shit?
Because that's what it seems like to me.
That's why people are mad in America.
Seems like to me.
You kidnap one seven-year-old, shame on...
No, that's right.
Shame on you.
You don't get out.
How about that?
Where's your line for your green light?
How many times?
How many arrests?
Does it have to be 43?
46?
52?
When do you think you're giving the green light?
I'll tell you when I'm giving it, the minute you put someone in fear of their own life, intentional or not, the minute you put your fellow American in fear of their own life, hey, you ask for my wallet in the street, guess what?
You forfeit your right to live.
You have any idea how many people?
Get mugged and get shot left for dead because someone's done a little too much PCP? I don't know that you're down on your luck and you just need some money for a Wendy's chili?
I couldn't possibly know that just like I can't know that you are unarmed.
You play the knockout game, you forfeit your right to live.
You know why?
Because I could hit my head in the concrete.
Or I could be unconscious and you could then rape my woman.
You could kidnap my child if you're a Jordan Neely copycat.
You forfeit your right to live.
Doesn't mean you deserve execution.
Let me be really clear.
But you forfeit your right to live if you put someone in a situation where they have to defend life and limb.
And it shouldn't happen dozens of times.
Even if you want to say they were some BS arrests because he was black, which I'm sure, yeah, that's the case in New York.
You can't find any racial justice activists and prosecutors or public defendants in New York.
Okay, cut that number, 40-something arrests, down to 20. Okay.
Just cut it down to the violent felonies, the violent crimes that we have seen.
When do you take accountability for your green light?
Genuinely, you know, Jasmine Crockett, you're a bad person.
You understand?
You're just actually, you're a bad person.
You're a bad person with a bad worldview.
Now, let's compare this to Luigi, right?
Luigi, who shot the UnitedHealthcare CEO. You see this all over the place.
He's been praised, lauded as a hero.
This is actually 1.6 million views on X. It's a meme.
It says, he took action against private health insurance corporations is what he did.
He was a brave Italian martyr in this house.
Luigi Mangione is a hero.
End of story.
You also have a lot of people, hundreds of thousands, you know, thirsting over him, meaning they think this guy is sexy.
Here's a post about visiting Luigi in prison.
It says, me visiting Luigi, and there they are making out.
That's, by the way, the most tame one we could find.
I mean, the guy, he did look kind of ripped in one of his pictures.
Yeah, yeah, he did.
I guess that makes up for him being a murderer.
Like, yeah, I'm going to bring him home to mom.
Why?
Well, because he has abs.
Gerald's planning a visit.
Yes, yes.
He just wants to put a smile on the faces of those people.
And even Jon Stewart's audience booed that Luigi was caught.
How did they manage to end a decade-long civil war and defeat the entire Syrian military in just 11 days?
Wait, zoom in on there.
Are you f***ing kidding me?
No!
No way!
That guy!
What?
How did...
Is that where he rode that city bike?
Is that...
Actually, it couldn't have been that guy.
Today, they did appear to catch that guy today at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania.
It's true.
Look, I'm sorry, guys.
Apparently, a bystander at the McDonald's ratted him out.
Oh, ratted him out.
Come on.
I understand the audience being morons, but Jon Stewart ratted him out.
You mean, took a murderer off the streets?
I think you gotta use that kind of lingo when the guy's name is Mangione.
Yeah.
It was a rat!
Maybe he's making a joke about it.
It put Mangione behind bars!
Right, because of that rat at the Mickey D's.
Hey, I got you!
Hey, fuck your McRib!
I agree.
Yeah.
I've never had one, and I don't plan to.
You don't serve a big pasta, okay?
So the vilification of Daniel Penny, someone who served his country and was serving his community, and the venerating of Luigi, and here's actually Taylor Loren's noted...
Barnacle?
Well, alright.
Who said on Piers Morgan, I have a Bluetooth speaker, and I was in the show, and I go through news, and when I heard Piers Morgan drop the F-bomb on his show, I knew that, oh, that must mean he's quite upset.
Here she is, Taylor Loren, saying that she felt joy over the assassination.
I do believe in the sanctity of life, and I think that's why I felt, along with so many other Americans, joy, unfortunately, you know, because it feels like...
Joy?
Serious?
I mean...
Joy in a man's execution?
Maybe not joy, but certainly not empathy.
Yeah, walk it back.
We're watching the footage.
How can this make you joyful?
This guy's a husband, he's a father, and he's being young down in the middle of Manhattan.
Why does that make you joyful?
There were thousands of Americans that beat murderers.
Yeah.
This is the same type of person who's a feminist, by the way, who believes that we should believe all women.
Just to give you an idea as to the consistency of her logic.
Like, well, he deserved it.
Okay.
You've mouthed off, haven't you, Taylor?
You realize that you're not being violently dealt with because your rights are an illusion.
It's funny when women try and act tough.
Like, yeah, I don't have empathy.
He had this coming.
Okay.
You want to live in that world?
It's like the kid with the anarchist shirt they got from Hot Topic.
Do you have any idea what your life looks like?
If anarchy comes into play, do you have any idea how fast you would be a slave chained to my doghouse?
She also said, we're walking around without masks, raw-dogging the air.
Yes, she did say that at one point, raw-dogging the air.
That's a quote.
So let me just be clear, too.
She came back later in that episode and said she didn't mean she was joyful over the murder.
She didn't say that.
So Piers actually played the clip of her saying it to her, and here's her defense.
We actually just blew it out of the water.
I'm sorry I haven't seen anybody else say this until now.
Her defense was, you interrupted me.
Okay, well what did you mean?
I'm actually joyful that people are looking at the situation with the insurance companies.
Oh!
So is that why you don't feel certainly not empathy?
Mm-hmm.
Because empathy doesn't apply to the people looking at the insurance companies thing.
That's not what she was saying.
She was saying, I certainly don't feel empathy.
Empathy towards what?
Towards what?
The person dead on the ground is the only answer to that.
I feel empathy for everyone who was wrongfully denied a claim, who paid for insurance.
Yep, I feel empathy for them.
I feel empathy for the people who were suckered into supporting the Affordable Care Act that screwed this healthcare system up, which was already screwed up before that, but certainly accelerated it.
And I feel empathy for the family and the people affected by a man who was senselessly murdered.
Just to be clear.
I saw a guy online celebrating this.
A guy who was a comedy show booker who didn't pay me my full amount one time.
Wow.
Yeah.
Ah, good.
Yeah.
You denied my claim for the work.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
Should you be next?
Yeah.
On the flip side, I've had people who I've done shows with who I've given 100% of the gate to complain that they were wrong.
So people whose ideology is pure selfishness, look, this is what you can expect.
This is the culture of me, me, me, me, me, me, and I'm perfect the way I am.
You see the vilification of Daniel Penny.
You see the venerating.
Of Luigi.
Why?
Let me make it really clear.
The narrative the left has to set, and that's why we were able to call it in real time, is in the Penny scenario, it's a white guy who killed an underprivileged black man.
That's it!
Yeah.
That's it.
They tried to paint Neely as this fun-loving Michael Jackson impersonator.
Remember, just back to Trayvon Martin, they tried to paint him as this teenager.
He's like a 12-year-old picture of the kid every time he saw him in media.
Not someone who was basically engaged in alchemy with Arizona sweet tea and codeine.
Well, they were both obsessed with seven-year-olds.
Yes.
And then you have Mike Brown.
Hands up, don't shoot.
His hands weren't up.
He was punching a cop, grabbing his gun.
But they just go, white, black!
Okay, so that's why they vilify him.
The reason that they love...
Well, you know why?
Because he killed a rich white guy.
Oh, he killed a Disney villain, the rich white businessman.
Therefore, it's justified.
Now, the other worldview is, the only way that violence is justified, and I don't believe that all violence is immoral, to be clear.
You've never heard me say that political violence is never the answer, because it's not true.
You've not heard me say that violence itself is never the answer, because it's not true.
But the only time that violence is an appropriate answer is when you are protecting the defenseless or yourself.
In other words, we need to stop this zero-tolerance policy.
All violence is bad.
Because then you have a generation of people who think that these are the same.
Ones...
Let me give you the reality, okay?
One was a law-abiding citizen, potentially a model citizen, Penny, who deserves your support and your prayers, who followed the law to help his fellow citizen.
The other, Luigi, is someone who flagrantly disregarded the law to commit murder, to assassinate someone.
Is that clear enough?
This can't be clear to the left because, and this is why I say there's a real problem with intelligentsia.
You have to go to university today or work in media to believe that that's reductive or simplistic, therefore not worthy of your philosophy major.
One's a law-abiding citizen who helped his fellow citizen.
The other broke the law to assassinate someone.
This is something, hey, can we find common ground on that?
Anyone?
We're not talking about the denial of claims, the AI algorithm, all of that.
I get it.
We did a segment on it yesterday.
But in dealing with these two people and seeing the stark contrast, if we can't find common ground on that statement, there's no common ground to be had.
I don't want it.
I don't want fake common ground.
I want a big old thick line in that sand.
How about that?
I'm here to talk about this more because we're going to have people on who will disagree.
We'll have Councilman Palladino on in a second.
Right now, we actually, do we have him, Toolman?
Yeah, we got him.
We have Reverend Al Sharpton on the line to give us his thoughts on this case.
Mr. Sharpton, thank you for taking the time.
What are your thoughts here on the Daniel Penney verdict, finally, as it came in yesterday?
Well, Mr. Crowdeer, the verdict has clearly sent a strong message.
Uh-huh.
And what's that?
It is increasingly clear it's now open season on black people.
I'm going to have to disagree with you on that, Mr. What?
On the facts?
Yeah, yeah.
Well, you have your facts.
I have my facts from above.
What does that even mean?
It's like the great reverend once said, white people be judging black people because they have skin.
I think you're actually misquoting MLK there, Mr. Sharpton, pretty severely, egregiously.
No, I am the reverend.
What was that?
I am the reverend.
You're the Reverend?
You're quoting?
Well, I beg to differ.
Okay.
What do you want?
Any thoughts you want to share on how the black community should react, maybe, or how they will in the coming days, weeks?
Let me be the first to say that black lives matter, even if they assault and battle.
Okay, I don't know if that's actually something.
If you can't handle the heat...
Sit back down and take your seat.
That's not how the saying goes, Mr. Sharp.
When a black man is on the ground, we're finna make a lot of sound.
Well, that's a nice rhyme, actually.
You're damn right.
Justice for Jordan Nelly.
Okay, Tim, that's enough.
We can cut it.
Well, that's, you know.
That grifter didn't even know his name.
Nelly.
Got the name wrong.
Different Nelly.
Well, that's hard for him to read prompter.
Uh...
He's prompter intolerant.
I know we're going to have Palladino on, Vicky Palladino, who's very spicy.
A lot of fun.
You met her, right?
I did.
She was the one standing off to my left at the press conference.
And the first person that I saw, she just came walking straight up to us as she was going.
And she was like, oh, I love you guys!
It was fantastic.
I loved it.
She had two aides with her that were helping out, too.
I think they were former teachers who had horrible things done to them by the Adams administration.
And she's very outspoken, and she's my kind of councilwoman.
Yeah.
She's feisty.
She doesn't care about people's opinions.
And I would imagine she has a lot of experience.
We can hear you.
We can hear you, Noodles.
That was subtle, Noodles.
Yeah.
This is the thing.
See, when we're live, by the way, bring up CNN so you can see nothing up our sleeve.
We do this live because I guess now people don't call things live.
They call it IRL. Like IRL in real life.
You mean live?
Because it was so rare.
Well, everybody lies about live now.
They put live up.
That's right.
Yeah, but this was taped like six hours ago.
It's not live live.
We've been doing this for years.
So this is me, IRL. I don't know what that means.
Well, you can't see me.
Can you still see me?
No, I can absolutely see you.
We could see you the whole time.
Didn't work.
Okay, I think Vicki's talking, so...
Alright, let's live in.
We got her on the line.
Okay, we do have her on the line.
Alright, so here, actually, to discuss this and more, because it's a national story, and she's a lot of fun, our kind of councilwoman, Miss Vicki Palladino.
And on X, it's at Vicki for NYC. Miss Palladino, can you see me?
Can you hear me?
I can see you and I can hear you loud and clear.
Well, thank you.
We're so glad to have you on the show.
And I wanted to first ask you, what did you observe during this trial?
And did you kind of have a sense of the outcome being so close to it in New York?
You know, first of all, my sense of the trial should have never happened in the first place, like you've heard everybody say.
It was racially motivated, absolutely.
D.A. Bragg has been a political nightmare for He's not a true AG. He actually...
What am I allowed to say and what aren't I allowed?
You can say anything you want, believe me.
Well, he sucks.
More, more.
Lay it on me.
And he really should not be holding the office that he's holding.
And here's a little caveat.
Tom Kniff, which was one of Daniel Penny's defense attorneys, ran against Alvin Bragg in the last election.
Okay.
And now, I'll step out of the box again a little bit, because Tom Kniff did not get the backing that he needed From the party.
Yeah.
Okay.
Because here in the city, everybody just assumes it's a lost race.
Why invest?
Right.
So you have the island of Manhattan, 1.6 million people, and you have a guy like Alvin Bragg running, and you have an upstanding guy like Tom running.
And sadly, the Republicans saw it as a lost race before it even started.
And had they invested in Tom the way they should have, knowing that the DA's position on the island of Manhattan is more powerful than the mayor at times.
They hold that much clout.
So we could have had an upstanding DA. And this nightmare that we have would not have existed.
Yeah, that's a good point.
And Republicans considered a loss, whereas, you know, the first time I ever visited New York, it was actually for Thanksgiving, right after 9-11.
There was still smoke down there in Ground Zero.
This was when Rudy Giuliani was man of the year.
So I know that nationally, it's very unlikely that, of course, they'll be voting for a Republican for president, but...
If you look at governors, if you look at the state legislature, it's not like it's a lost cause.
It's a very good point.
Why do you think so many in the Republican Party just abandon that, concede that territory?
Well, it's been a lost cause for a while now.
I mean, Ronald Reagan is the only one who took this city-state the entire thing.
Right, on a national level.
The person who flipped everybody's way of thinking was, of course, Barack Obama.
And everything went totally, totally and absolutely to the left.
Because of that mindset.
Now look, we were always loaded with liberals, but we didn't have the progressive left radical movement that we have today.
It's insanity.
Insanity has taken over.
Can I ask you this?
Because you just mentioned Barack Obama.
And earlier you said, and I want to make sure it's really clear, you said this was racially motivated.
For people who misheard that, you're talking about Alvin Bragg, of course, trying to use this to race bait because Daniel Penny was white.
Did you see that become far more, because I will say this, as someone who's in my 30s, I grew up in a post-racial, I mean, America, Canada, where our biggest stars, Will Smith and Denzel Washington, the biggest films were Will Smith films, and the biggest show was Fresh Prince.
And then Barack Obama became president.
And that's when we had the eruption that America was more racist than ever.
Did you see that in New York?
Well, of course.
And, you know, I, like you, I mean, I grew up in the late 60s and the 70s.
I'm a lot older than you are.
And my son is your age.
And I have to say this.
You know, we've watched Manhattan, we've watched this change.
The difference is now is that everybody hates.
That word hate was not used the way it's used today.
So when Barack Obama stepped in, We had this man come in with a totally different agenda.
One that he kind of snuck in under the rug because everybody, I will say this, was thrilled to have an African-American president.
There were a lot of people that were super excited because of his color of his skin and he was an orator.
He's brilliant.
He could speak to anything.
But what everybody did not realize was the division that he was going to bring into this order.
It said order by mistake.
It was a Floydian slip.
The world order.
He had an agenda.
And his agenda was to flip everything, and he did.
Well, it started with Trayvon Martin.
Remember, he said, now, if I had a son, it'd probably look a lot like Trayvon.
And then everyone said, oh, that's licensed to say this was a lynching.
That led to Mike Brown.
It really was pernicious.
Yeah.
And now you're dealing with it in New York.
He separated us not just by race.
If you became a wealthy individual, an entrepreneur, successful in...
any kind of ceo of any kind of large business uh you were you were considered a villain a villain yeah you really were right and uh you were demonized for that yeah so uh and we see that now with the united healthcare uh shooting that took place and i'm disturbed by how many people seem to be very comfortable with it i i do want to ask you this uh specifically in new york because you've had to deal with this in the past do you see the black lives matter protests here being a major issue or do you think that most new yorkers aren't buying what they're selling anymore They're
not buying what they're selling anymore.
No way.
No, no, no, no.
I said that I was on Rob Schmidt last night on Newsmax and we talked a lot about that because you had the one guy from Black Lives Matter outside the courthouse Screaming about lynching and lynching.
Give me a break, Leah.
You got 10 people standing behind you.
That was it.
He was shouting into the microphone.
Then they wobbled up, you know, Jordan Neely's dad.
They propped him up at the mic and they all said how sorry they were and this, that, the other thing.
It's a bunch of crap, okay?
Because where were you when your son needed you?
Where were you?
And the uncle dressed to the nines, very sharp, you know?
Where were you when your nephew needed you, when he was homeless, when he became, you know, addicted to drugs, he was a schizophrenic.
Where were you?
This was, you know, nobody should have died.
I don't want, I want, I want to make this very clear.
Of course.
This was unfortunate, but this was inevitable.
Because what's happened to our system here in New York is we have totally closed any sort of mental hospital or any kind of place we could put the mentally infirmed where they stay for 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, because there are those who can go back into the city and lead perfectly great lives.
I know a lot of people who had drug issues and problems that had to do 30 days, had to do 60 days.
I had to do 90 days and sometimes more than once.
And they came back as functioning adults in their 30s and made, you know, very good use of themselves.
Owners of businesses and stuff like that.
So we can't condemn all of them.
But we do have to face the fact that there are mentally ill people that cannot be fixed anymore.
Why were they all shut down in New York, too?
That was Cuomo.
We had a mental hospital on Staten Island.
I forgot what the hell the name of it was.
I know there used to be one on Roosevelt Island because they turned them into apartment complexes, but that's from a long time ago.
How long ago?
From a while ago, because when I was living there in New York in 2011, I almost moved to one until someone said, you know, that used to be an insane asylum.
I said, oh, maybe I won't go to Roosevelt Island.
I hate that word.
But yes, when I ran for state senate, which a lot of people don't know, I ran in 2018. At that point, the Republicans held the New York State Senate by one seat, because there's 60 some odd people that make up the senate in New York State.
And I tried desperately to put my point across how important it was that we held it.
Well, sadly, the shift was already happening.
The blue wave was already in full swing.
And there was no way I was going to win.
John Liu took the seat.
That was fine.
He's an established.
I was not established.
Who was Vicky Palladino?
Vicki Palladino was a kitchen table politic and an activist, okay?
Somebody who always spoke her mind and everybody knew about it.
So I had $37,000 and here I was going up against somebody who ran for New York City Comptroller in 2013. But I said, what the hell?
Let me see.
Everything I said that was going to happen Bail reform, injection sites, the closing of Rikers Island, and so on and so forth.
So it was a losing battle, and we've become a losing battle since then.
Well, I want to continue this, by the way, and of course people can follow you at Vicky for NYC on X. We're going to continue this on Rumble Premium.
