Aired: 2025-10-18
Duration: 23:22

[00:00:01]  My friend, here in New York City, the story that is just everybody's talking about.
[00:00:08]  Well, a lot of the people in the name is Zoran Mam Danny.
[00:00:13]  Zoran the moron.
[00:00:17]  And people are losing their minds.
[00:00:22]  So today I happen to watch Mr. Mam Danny, who was on the Martha McCallum show on FNC.
[00:00:30]  It was the biggest softball love fest you have ever seen.
[00:00:36]  And the question is, I wonder why.
[00:00:37]  Why is that?
[00:00:39]  Why pray tell is that?
[00:00:42]  What I want to talk about that.
[00:00:44]  Take your thoughts and comments.
[00:00:46]  Sit back.
[00:00:47]  This is the best coverage there is because I hit it from every angle possible.
[00:00:54]  And I'm not going to be smitten to one group or another.
[00:00:58]  Okay.
[00:00:59]  I'm going to tell you exactly the way it is.
[00:01:02]  Because a lot of people are losing their minds.

[00:01:35]  Everybody knew it was coming from the Supreme Court, who refused to hear his case.
[00:01:39]  And also, it harkens back to our good friend Mike Lindell.
[00:01:45]  Mike Lindell from MyPillow, who also owes a 20 gajillion dollars for something.
[00:01:54]  He simultaneously destroyed Dominion.
[00:01:59]  Or I'm not familiar with the case.
[00:02:02]  I'll let you check that out.

[00:03:17]  Did anybody happen to see our good friend Zoran Mam Danny on the Martha McCallum show?
[00:03:29]  Light, I mean snowballs, little powder puff, nothings thrown at him.
[00:03:37]  Absolutely incredible.
[00:03:40]  And the question you have to ask is why, Prey Tell.
[00:03:43]  Why?
[00:03:43]  What do you think that was all about?
[00:03:46]  What was the reason for that?
[00:03:48]  What were they trying to accomplish?
[00:03:50]  What would I have asked if I could?
[00:03:54]  What would I have asked?
[00:03:56]  And I'm glad you asked because I'll tell you.
[00:03:58]  You see, my not my friends, it's a fascinating subject.
[00:04:01]  I don't know if I always thought she was kind of like a lefty before, sort of.
[00:04:06]  I thought that maybe she was uh I think um, I don't know what her story was.
[00:04:12]  She she might have been um I thought I think she was kind of a negative trouble.
[00:04:18]  I don't know.
[00:04:18]  I I listen, I I don't really watch a lot of these things.
[00:04:22]  I just I just you know, but I want to tell you what I would have done and what was missing, which makes me think sometimes I wonder if the fix is in.
[00:04:32]  I know that's conspiratorial.
[00:04:34]  Far be it for me, my friend, but I wonder if that's true.
[00:04:38]  So what's interesting about this whole thing, which is so fascinating, is that Fox News or Martha McCallum, or maybe deliberately, blew it.
[00:04:47]  Blew it.
[00:04:49]  They had this Zoran, ma'am, Danny.
[00:04:52]  There he was, right there in front of him.
[00:04:54]  They could have had so much fun with him.
[00:04:56]  By the way, Raul, good to see you, brother.
[00:04:59]  Thank you so much for your kind, kind words.
[00:05:03]  But they had Zoran, and what'd they do?
[00:05:05]  Well, they had him there sitting in his sitting in in front of them, right there in the studio.
[00:05:13]  A man who refuses to call for Hamas to disarm, who supports arresting Benjamin Netanyahu, even though, even though the United States doesn't recognize the International Criminal Court.
[00:05:31]  And why is the mayor of New York calling for the arrest through some process nobody understands?
[00:05:40]  Well, because he wraps every radical position he holds in soft language about justice and restorative reform.
[00:05:49]  And he's playing to a group of people, many, many of whom listen to us now, who want to see BB Netanyahu uh arrested.
[00:06:00]  That may very well be, but the mayor of New York?
[00:06:03]  You think the mayor of New York should be Should be trying to arrest um oh, let dare I say who?
[00:06:16]  Oh, I don't know.
[00:06:17]  Um Erdogan?
[00:06:21]  Putin?
[00:06:22]  Not a good idea.
[00:06:25]  Is he on his own going to do this?
[00:06:27]  See, it's a drunk with power.
[00:06:29]  I would have nailed him down and say, You can't do that.
[00:06:33]  You're the mayor of New York City.
[00:06:37]  You're not going to execute international um arrest warrants.
[00:06:44]  What is the matter with you?
[00:06:46]  You can't be serious.
[00:06:49]  You're a dangerous person.
[00:06:51]  That's where I would have gone.
[00:06:53]  Now, a lot of you may not like BB Netanyahu, and I'm sorry.
[00:06:57]  Uh I gotta tell you something.
[00:07:01]  And I hope people don't understand this.
[00:07:05]  But I'm kind of busy with what's going on right here.
[00:07:08]  Okay.
[00:07:10]  And I'm watching a lot of these shows.
[00:07:12]  Oh my god, they froth, they they wring their hands, they talk about BB all day long.
[00:07:20]  They talk about it, and I'm not saying it's not important, but would you please talk about what's happening here?
[00:07:29]  Does anybody in Tel Aviv wonder about the fact that there was a man beaten to death at the subway in New York City?
[00:07:36]  No.
[00:07:36]  Well, what does that tell you?
[00:07:40]  I mean, I wish them the best, but I'm an American.
[00:07:45]  I don't know what's going on with it with the Houthis, with with Hezbollah.
[00:07:49]  I'm an American citizen.
[00:07:51]  Does that make sense to you?
[00:07:52]  Do you agree with me?
[00:07:53]  Do you get that?
[00:07:54]  See what I'm saying?
[00:07:58]  But they let mom Danny go.
[00:07:59]  They asked him questions, he dodged the questions, and they moved on.
[00:08:03]  And that's that's not, I don't know about German journalism, it's not questioned.
[00:08:07]  It's kind of like malpractice.
[00:08:08]  It's I'm it's almost as though the fix is it.
[00:08:10]  You know, I don't want to go there.
[00:08:12]  And by the way, fix is in.
[00:08:14]  Anyone see this story about Alec Baldwin and his wife?
[00:08:19]  You know, we things are not too good in paradise over there around the Baldwin of 20.
[00:08:29]  He and Hilaria, the Charo Avatar, the intermittently accented Ilaria bowling, Iladia Boeing.
[00:08:43]  If you're not going to, but just thought I'd say this one.
[00:08:46]  And by the way, Charlie Sheen think he's got a new boyfriend.
[00:08:48]  Let's hope.
[00:08:49]  wishing you the best my friend.
[00:08:50]  Wishing you the best.
[00:08:51]  Because Charlie you know Charlie's on Charlie I'm Charlie's on the other team, which is okay.
[00:09:00]  No problem.
[00:09:02]  Just be happy.
[00:09:04]  And we wish you well.
[00:09:06]  But back to Zoran, you know, if you're going to interview someone like Ma'am Danny, you don't hand him a microphone and let him moralize.
[00:09:15]  You confront him.
[00:09:17]  You confront him with his contradictions.
[00:09:18]  Anybody see him today?
[00:09:19]  Anybody see him?
[00:09:20]  Anyone?
[00:09:21]  Did you see him?
[00:09:23]  Did you?
[00:09:25]  Did you see him?
[00:09:26]  Did you see that?
[00:09:27]  By the way, that Baldwin car crash, you know that's her car?
[00:09:33]  Ran into it.
[00:09:34]  I'm just saying it's almost like a metaphor for where their marriage is going.
[00:09:37]  I'm sorry, like I said, we wish them well.
[00:09:41]  But ma'am Danny's important.
[00:09:43]  You know?
[00:09:45]  His contradictions were just plenty.
[00:09:48]  And and you, you you you make him answer.
[00:09:52]  You confront him directly, publicly, unmistakably.
[00:09:55]  You don't let him redefine terrorism as context.
[00:09:59]  You don't let him paint Israel as the villain while giving Hamas some kind of a moral pardon as the mayor of New York.
[00:10:15]  Who in the hell do you think you are?
[00:10:18]  Pin him down.
[00:10:20]  Look him straight in the eye and say, whatever, Mr. Mam Danny.
[00:10:25]  Why can't you condemn Hamas?
[00:10:28]  And if you listen to other people, let him say it.
[00:10:33]  Now, if you're Max Blumenthal, if you're Aaron Mate, if you're Jeffrey Sachs, if you're a lot of people, they're gonna say, well, because Hamas is one of what, 14 or 15 groups representing the Palestinian cause.
[00:10:53]  Let him say that.
[00:10:55]  Let him support Hamas.
[00:10:58]  People aren't going to understand that.
[00:11:00]  Let him say it.
[00:11:01]  Again, why the mayor weighs it about, are you going to weigh on Erdogan too?
[00:11:06]  Bath separatism?
[00:11:08]  You're the mayor.
[00:11:09]  But anyway.
[00:11:11]  Why the moral fog?
[00:11:12]  Why the selective outrage?
[00:11:15]  Listen, Z, you claim to support peace, but you refuse to tell a terror organization to lay down its weapons.
[00:11:24]  If that's what you think it is, explain it.
[00:11:27]  Say it.
[00:11:29]  How is this leadership?
[00:11:31]  Look, now remember, I'm I may understand the nuance of Hamas.
[00:11:37]  I might.
[00:11:37]  Its origins, where it's from, why it's there, but I'll be damned if I'm not looking straight into a camera and saying, I want him to say that.
[00:11:47]  Say it.
[00:11:54]  How is this leadership?
[00:11:56]  And that's how it begins.
[00:11:58]  And you don't stop there.
[00:12:00]  You keep going.
[00:12:02]  You remind him that being mayor of New York is not, it's not some kind of a graduate seminar on restorative justice either.
[00:12:10]  See, that's the part.
[00:12:12]  It's about protecting people.
[00:12:14]  When someone shoved onto a subway track or stabbed on the street, caught on camera, you don't hold a group therapy session.
[00:12:24]  You hold the perpetrator accountable.
[00:12:27]  It's that simple.
[00:12:28]  You arrest him and you throw him away, perhaps forever.
[00:12:32]  Fox let him talk about crime as if it were a misunderstanding, a psychological hiccup.
[00:12:37]  Oops.
[00:12:38]  They never asked the real question.
[00:12:40]  Why does he confuse law enforcement with counseling?
[00:12:43]  Why does he believe that crime is a symptom of trauma, not choice?
[00:12:48]  Because that's the worldview he's selling.
[00:12:50]  George Soros is branded for storative justice.
[00:12:52]  I've told you a million times about it.
[00:12:54]  It's not just a phrase, it's an actual way of thinking.
[00:12:57]  Where criminals are victims, and victims are data points.
[00:13:00]  This makes the most sense.
[00:13:02]  But here's what you say to that, Mr. Mam Danny.
[00:13:05]  Your entire platform treats criminals like patients in the clinic.
[00:13:09]  You talk about closing Rikers Island, turning our jails into counseling centers.
[00:13:13]  Are New Yorkers supposed to believe that murder assault and armed robbery are just acts of therapy gone wrong?
[00:13:20]  Do you realize what message that sends to victims?
[00:13:23]  To police officers, to families living in fear?
[00:13:27]  That's how you deal with someone hiding behind Slogans.
[00:13:30]  And then, and then you pivot back to where his worldview was forged, the Middle East.
[00:13:35]  The place where he applies the same twisted logic, according to many.
[00:13:40]  You call Israel an occupier.
[00:13:42]  You call Netanyahu a criminal, okay.
[00:13:44]  But you won't condemn Hamas.
[00:13:46]  You talk about law, but you ignore that Hamas exists to break every law of civilization, at least according to Israel.
[00:13:53]  Are they wrong?
[00:13:54]  Say it.
[00:13:55]  You want to arrest the leader of a democracy, which they will say, while excusing those who massacre civilians, as they say.
[00:14:03]  Is that justice, sir?
[00:14:05]  Or is that prejudice dressed up as politics?
[00:14:08]  Say it.
[00:14:09]  Confront him.
[00:14:10]  And I'm telling you right now, I don't care what you think about him now.
[00:14:15]  It doesn't matter.
[00:14:17]  It doesn't matter.
[00:14:19]  But Fox didn't say that.
[00:14:20]  They let him hide behind his usual, I don't have opinions beyond justice and safety.
[00:14:25]  Stop it.
[00:14:25]  That's cowardice.
[00:14:26]  Cowardice pretending to be nuanced.
[00:14:28]  And a real interviewer, I'm sorry to say it would have cut right through the bullshit.
[00:14:32]  No, Mr. Mam Danny.
[00:14:34]  You do have opinions.
[00:14:36]  You just don't want to say them because you know how they sound out loud.
[00:14:41]  And when he inevitably says we must understand why people commit crimes, you say, no, no, we must stop them from committing crimes.
[00:14:48]  Understand he comes after the victim is safe, after all is said and done.
[00:14:52]  Maybe for a graduate course.
[00:14:55]  Because this isn't about empathy, sir.
[00:14:57]  It's about leadership.
[00:14:58]  A mayor's job isn't to psychoanalyze criminals, it's to protect the innocent.
[00:15:03]  But ma'am Danny's vision of New York is a sociology lab.
[00:15:07]  A city where every stabbing becomes a case study, where every victim is told to empathize with their attacker.
[00:15:13]  That's not reform, that's progression.
[00:15:15]  And here's what Fox should have said.
[00:15:17]  Mr. Ma'am Danny, you're asking New Yorkers to elect a therapist, not a mayor.
[00:15:23]  You're selling a fantasy or one that doesn't even work anywhere on earth.
[00:15:26]  You want restorative justice?
[00:15:27]  Go val, go tell that the family, the woman shoved in front of a subway.
[00:15:31]  Tell them their grief is a product of systemic failure.
[00:15:34]  This this carceral way of overreaction.
[00:15:38]  Tell them, sir.
[00:15:40]  Tell them.
[00:15:40]  Tell them you think Rikers Island is too cruel for the man who killed their mother.
[00:15:45]  That's how you strip away the pretense.
[00:15:47]  That's how you make the ideology show itself.
[00:15:50]  That's what you do.
[00:15:51]  When he starts talking about equity, you fight back.
[00:15:53]  Equity for whom, Mr. Mam Danny?
[00:15:56]  For the criminals?
[00:15:57]  For the radicals?
[00:15:58]  For those who call violence liberation.
[00:16:00]  You you've built your your career, whatever it is, defending the indefensible.
[00:16:05]  Rationalizing bloodshed as justice and erasing what amounts to accountability in the name of what?
[00:16:10]  Some kind of compassion?
[00:16:12]  It's not leadership.
[00:16:13]  That's confusion.
[00:16:15]  Fox could have made this moment historic.
[00:16:17]  They could have forced him to choose between decency and dogma, but they didn't.
[00:16:22]  They sent Martha McCallum, who I'm sure is a nice person, but she's milked toast.
[00:16:28]  They let him ramble, smile, and hide behind complexity.
[00:16:31]  And by the way, stop doing this business about where he says you don't have any political expertise.
[00:16:36]  You never ran a business.
[00:16:37]  Trump never had any political expertise either.
[00:16:39]  But he ran a business.
[00:16:40]  And this guy doesn't have anything.
[00:16:41]  And he says unapologetically, okay, I'm 34, whatever you're sold.
[00:16:45]  Sorry.
[00:16:45]  Journalism is about being polite, it's about exposure.
[00:16:48]  And when a public figure speaks like this, you don't nod and pivot.
[00:16:51]  You hold them.
[00:16:53]  You press into the press on.
[00:16:59]  And you make sure the mask slips.
[00:17:01]  And the mask would have slipped, because here's the truth.
[00:17:05]  Zoran Mamdanny wants to criminalize what many believe, and again, you can argue this all you want, but he wants to officially criminalize what many people to be Israel's self-defense while decriminalizing violence in New York.
[00:17:21]  Now again, remember, I hear a lot of people, and they're wonderful.
[00:17:26]  They're wonderful.
[00:17:27]  Max Blumeth also is terrific.
[00:17:28]  This Gabby Gabsy Gabsy, whatever her name is, very interesting.
[00:17:32]  And and Katie Hap, uh Katie uh uh uh whoever name is in, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:17:38]  But they never talk about new uh New York, they never talk about crime, you never talk about getting clobbered by some lunatic.
[00:17:47]  No.
[00:17:48]  Their sole focus is they they hate Israel.
[00:17:52]  And I'm not gonna argue whether it's right or wrong.
[00:17:54]  I'm not, I'm not listening to what I'm saying, I'm not doing that.
[00:17:57]  But they don't understand my perspective.
[00:18:02]  Excuse me.
[00:18:03]  I don't care about it.
[00:18:05]  I'll care about it once New York is trading up.
[00:18:08]  I'll care about that.
[00:18:11]  See, this isn't inconsistency, it's ideology.
[00:18:14]  It's the global extension of this restorative justice.
[00:18:16]  And I keep telling you, remember, this is not just a phrase, it is a plan.
[00:18:20]  Terrorists need empathy, not um accountability.
[00:18:26]  This is what they believe in.
[00:18:28]  Criminals need counseling, not consequences.
[00:18:31]  Yeah, right.
[00:18:32]  And that's what Fox should have unpacked.
[00:18:35]  A line by line, claim by claim, disclaimer live on air.
[00:18:39]  Instead, they were too polite, too cautious, and they sent this very nice lady.
[00:18:44]  Maybe that's why in the middle of the day, too cautious, too eager to seem balanced.
[00:18:50]  But she just asked the question.
[00:18:53]  They handed him a win.
[00:18:54]  They gave him a radical, they made him, he was bearded, bearding the lion in his own den, walking in there, and they gave a radical the chance to sound reasonable while not being challenged.
[00:19:04]  That's how propaganda hides in plain sight, my friend.
[00:19:08]  The truth is this.
[00:19:10]  This wasn't about journalism.
[00:19:12]  It was about nerve, and they don't have it.
[00:19:15]  If they had, the entire country would have seen the real ma'am daddy.
[00:19:19]  Not this articulate reformer, this nice guy with a smile, but the ideologue, the dangerous ideologue who excuses terror, who thinks criminals are mental patients, who treats law enforcement as an inconvenience.
[00:19:33]  Dig up everything he's ever said, make him eat his word.
[00:19:36]  He's not just running on ideas, he's running on a worldview that says justice must have always must must always yield to emotion.
[00:19:43]  By the way, you gotta stop him now because the whole world is looking in New York to stop him because his kind is going elsewhere.
[00:19:48]  He's like a bed bug.
[00:19:50]  If you don't stop him now, they spread, they multiply.
[00:19:53]  And this is what happened.
[00:19:54]  I don't know what happened to Fox News.
[00:19:58]  I mean, that should have been exposed.
[00:20:01]  That's what Fox didn't do.
[00:20:03]  You don't move to the next question until the lie collapses.
[00:20:06]  You don't let a man like that talk about peace without demanding he defined it.
[00:20:10]  And you don't let him mention justice without forcing him to confront who he excludes from it.
[00:20:17]  Fox News had every tool, every opportunity, the facts, the platform, the opportunity, everything.
[00:20:22]  But they forgot the mission.
[00:20:24]  The mission isn't civility, and then they wrote in the post about how terrible he was.
[00:20:28]  No, he was great.
[00:20:30]  He won that, and he's gonna destroy Andrew Cuomo, who needs an adder all so bad it's not even funny.
[00:20:38]  Do you think today with all of these great personalities on TV, you're gonna put somebody like Andrew Cuomo on and having him hammer?
[00:20:44]  I believe that what?
[00:20:48]  This is accountability.
[00:20:50]  And if you don't press for the truth, you become part of the lie.
[00:20:53]  It's that simple.
[00:20:54]  And that's exactly what happened, my friends.
[00:20:56]  That is exactly what happened.
[00:20:58]  I couldn't believe it.
[00:20:59]  I could I I wanted to scream of a screaming as as loud as I could have.
[00:21:07]  Scream to let everyone know what I thought.
[00:21:13]  But it didn't happen.
[00:21:15]  It didn't happen.
[00:21:17]  And all they had to do, all they had to do was just think about what they did.
[00:21:20]  Think about what happened.
[00:21:21]  Think about the reality and just act accordingly.
[00:21:23]  But they didn't.
[00:21:24]  Understand what's going on?
[00:21:26]  Understand.
[00:21:29]  All right, my friends.
[00:21:30]  That's it.
[00:21:31]  I hope everybody gets squared away.
[00:21:33]  I hope uh George Lensis, by the way, isn't this isn't the Oscars, it's about running a city.
[00:21:38]  Very true, my friend.
[00:21:40]  Very, very, very true.
[00:21:42]  Let's hope more people realize this and recognize this.
[00:21:44]  Let's also hope that uh YouTube comes back online.
[00:21:49]  I'm gonna be on tonight from one to five.
[00:21:51]  Don't forget overnights on WABC, see me there.
[00:21:53]  Join the fun, join the frolic, join the mayhem.
[00:21:56]  I hope you heard Mrs. L this morning on Warrior One's Day.
[00:21:59]  It was phenomenal.
[00:22:02]  Phenomenal.
[00:22:03]  She's the star, not I, my friend.
[00:22:06]  I've been supplanted by the best.
[00:22:08]  All right, dear friends, have a great and glorious night.
[00:22:10]  Thank you so much for watching.
[00:22:11]  I wish you all the best.
[00:22:12]  Remember, God bless America.
[00:22:14]  Think about New York, because remember, you're next.
[00:22:17]  You're next.
[00:22:18]  The whole world is watching.
[00:22:19]  And we've got, we had we had Eric Adams, who was a complete and utter moron.
[00:22:24]  I mean, a gibberish-viewing moron, just a crit and cretiness, cretinist.
[00:22:30]  Curtis Leva, who is obstinate, who basically wants to hold up the uh city because he's being told he's telling people basically F you, I'm gonna Okay.
[00:22:39]  And you even have Eric Adams, by the way, Eric says, Oh, I got a couple of jobs or dream jobs.
[00:22:43]  Uh-huh.
[00:22:44]  I believe whatever he was going to be asking, I think what was it?
[00:22:47]  Saudi Arabia something was linked on Curtis stepping down, and that didn't work out.
[00:22:51]  Then you got Cuomo, who was like Salato the Turk.
[00:22:54]  Oh my God.
[00:22:54]  He's a ghoul.
[00:22:55]  He's a vampire.
[00:22:56]  But you know what?
[00:22:57]  If he beats, if he beats Mam Danny, fine.
[00:23:00]  I'll I'll vote for an onion ring.
[00:23:03]  I'll vote for um uh um Emmanuel Lewis, TV's Webster.
[00:23:09]  I don't care.
[00:23:11]  We have to stop that guy at all costs.
[00:23:13]  Okay?
[00:23:14]  You understand?
[00:23:15]  Good.
[00:23:16]  That's all that matters, my friend.
[00:23:18]  Have a great and glorious night.
[00:23:19]  We love you, Madeline.
[00:23:20]  Don't forget until then, my friends.
[00:23:21]  Remember the monkey's dead.
[00:23:21]  Shows over Sue.
