The Sh*t Show That Is the 2025 NYC Mayoral Race: Pray for Us!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
This is one of the most fascinating elections you will ever see in your lifetime.
And I'm talking about what's happening in New York City.
And if you're one of those people who say, oh, I don't care about New York City, you're missing the point.
It's not about New York per se.
It's about the rest of the world.
And it's more about you than anything else.
It's how you view the world.
It's how you know, when I say you, I don't mean you sitting in front of me now, but the collective, the royal you, how nobody knows anything.
It's the most incredible thing I've ever seen in my life.
It's like, who are these?
They think it's 1980 Ronald Reagan.
I'm hearing every hackneyed corn pwn nonsense, this stuff.
Well, he's a socialist.
What planet are you on?
Why do you think that's going to sting so much?
Oh my God, you called him a socialist.
Oh my, that'll get him.
I don't even know where to start.
Look at this and ask yourself, what is really happening here?
What is happening in terms of the reality of this?
This is not just about New York City.
It's about politics.
It's about the Republican Party who sucks.
He is not.
Let me try this again.
Zorhan Mamdani is not.
And by the way, nobody pronounces his name.
There are people I know, they call him Mandani.
They get it wrong.
How can you miss a guy's name?
How can you be on TV asking, garnering, suggesting that I give you my respect when you can't even say a goddamn name?
I don't understand it.
What are you retarded?
It's three syllables.
This is incredible.
And don't tell me, well, they're doing it on purpose.
No, they're not because they're stupid.
Because most of the people who were talking about this are morons.
I don't understand it.
They think this is some kind of wizardry, some kind of alchemy, that this is the incarnation of Joseph Stalin.
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
They have been telling you about this forever.
Where have you been?
And I keep telling people, it's New York City.
It's 70% Democrat.
It's like Portland or San Francisco, or I don't know what to tell you.
I don't know what this is about.
Zoron Mamadani has said nothing, but they like him because he smiles.
That's right.
He smiles.
Let me remind you folks of a couple of things.
And New Yorkers will know this.
New Yorkers will know what I'm saying.
Let me see if I can explain this to you.
New Yorkers will know exactly what I'm saying.
Okay?
Good.
When Bill de Blasio ran, he was the public advocate.
That is second in line under the New York City Charter.
The public advocate.
Nobody knows what the hell it is.
From the days of Mark Green, and I don't know what it is.
Now it's Jamani Williams.
They don't know who.
They don't know what it is.
Public advocate.
Aren't you all a public?
Is this like, what is this?
You mean like, like what?
Like, you know, Ralph Nader?
I mean, nobody knows.
Nobody knows.
So when this fellow named Bel de Blasio, who's about seven feet tall, he actually got bigger and lied about how tall he was because was this some kind of a pituitary disorder?
What the hell is going on here?
Anyway, when he was trying to put together his ad, he had a woman named Shirlane, his wife, Shirlane, a black woman, who claimed to have been a lesbian, but then changed her mind.
I'm not kidding you.
This is what they said.
She changed her mind.
She changed back.
You never hear about that, do you?
You never hear about that.
She was a lesbian, and then she went straight.
And now I think she's back to the island of Sappho.
I don't know.
Okay, but anyway, this is what they said.
He actually was legitimately, he was legitimately maybe an actual lefty.
I mean, serious.
On his, just bear with me.
I know we're not talking about this.
On his, but remember, this is what New York wanted.
On his honeymoon, he went with Shalene to Cuba.
Cuba.
Did you hear what I said?
Cuba.
And you couldn't even go to Cuba then.
You couldn't.
I don't know.
This guy was as left and radical as you can get.
They elected him, but I'm not done yet.
Let me explain to you why they elected him.
During the course of these kind of pitch meetings and focus groups, they had a picture of his family.
He had a daughter, wife, Shalene, and his son, Dante.
Dante had a fro, kind of like a quest love kind of fro.
All you had missing was the pic.
It was a young man with a fro.
All right, you got it?
Okay.
You with me?
You with me?
Good.
During the course of this endeavor, during the course of this endeavor, they were doing these, I guess you would call them focus groups.
And somebody said, hey, who's that kid?
Now, bear with me, I'm telling you.
I said, who?
So who's that kid?
They said, well, that's Dante, the son.
Is that a fro?
Yeah, it's a fro.
We love the fro.
I shit you not.
Pardon my French.
Pardon my French.
That's why they elected him.
And they probably insured his hair.
They told him, you can't, you can't cut your hair.
So this is New York City.
We elected this might be close to being an actual Marxist because Mom Danti's not a, he's not a socialist or anything.
He's just a, he's just a kind of a giveaway welfare society.
Anyway, so this is who they are.
So let me just say right now.
So stop asking, why are they voting for Mom Donny?
Because this city is like a bunch of commies or something.
Or, or, or, or, or they have a predominance of people who are indeed of that particular way of thinking.
So let me just explain that.
I know nobody wants to talk about it.
Everybody says, well, let's come up.
No, stop with this, this pretend, these, these intellectual exercises of your part.
I think that the citizens, frankly, are retarded of New York.
They're crazy.
And every now and then, a couple of times, we elected Rudy Giuliani, who was probably one of the greatest mayors, if not the greatest mayor ever, because it's Giuliani, Koch, and LaGuardia.
Those are the biggies, okay?
Those are the biggies.
And it was a different story because Staten Island was about to secede and Rudy was on the ballot.
Okay, fine, fine, fine.
I don't want to go too much into the weed.
So let me just get this right off the bat.
And you will never hear anybody on ever on any TV show say this because everybody's got to be real nice and real sweet, but they won't say that the people of New York are retarded.
They're retarded.
Okay, that's number one.
Number two, Elon got it wrong.
Elon got it absolutely wrong.
Okay.
I'm going to try to show you something.
Maybe I can.
Maybe I can't.
A New York City sample ballot is the weirdest thing you've ever, or ballot you've ever seen.
It is the strangest thing you have ever seen.
It's nuts.
It's weird.
I should have had this ready, but I'm going to see if I can.
I'm going to see if I can pull that up for you right now and show you what's going on because it is very, very funny.
And let me see it.
Okay, let me see.
Oh, God.
Just a minute.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Talk amongst yourself.
Here we go.
New York City Sample Bona 2025.
Because old Elon got it right.
And unless you see this, you're not going to understand how this thing works.
Let me see.
No, that's not it.
Let me see.
This is it.
No, that's not it.
Hang on.
Across, I got to show you this thing.
Talk amongst yourselves.
You don't understand.
I've been living with this thing every single day, and I've had to hear everybody.
And God bless WABC for allowing me the chance overnight, but I've got to hear every goddamn lunatic who doesn't know anything about the election.
Simply, simply does not know anything about the election.
They don't know how it works.
Let me give you an example.
We have three people, as you know, running before I dig this up.
Three people, okay?
Number one, we have Zorhan Mamdani.
Zoran, as you know, is on his, how do I say this?
He is on the Democratic Party.
He won the Democratic.
He won the Democratic election.
Okay.
Let me see.
He won the Democratic election.
Other nomination, Democratic nomination.
So he's a Democratic nominee in a Democratic city.
You got that?
You got that?
This is what he got.
He is the Democratic nominee.
Now, Andrew Cuomo is a Democrat.
Andrew Cuomo lost Democratic nominee.
So he's on the independent ticket called the Fight and Deliver Party that nobody has ever heard of.
It doesn't exist except in this quirky, weird New York City world where you could be on a number of different sites.
You could be the conservative candidate.
You could be on the Fine Deliver.
You could be the working families.
You can only pick one, but you could be on three.
You could be, because we normally have, you know, things like the usual stuff, you know, Democrat Republican.
Not in New York.
It's one of those things where it just doesn't work that way.
And the reason why it's very interesting is because of the fact that people don't understand the strange thing.
So you've got Zora and Mamdani.
He's a Democrat.
Okay.
Moving on down the road.
Curtis Leewa won.
Curtis, a good friend of mine.
Let me just say this for the umpteenth time.
And I'm sorry to say that.
I'm so tired of saying this.
For the umpteenth time, I've said this.
And I'm going to say it again.
I've known him for 32 years and he's my pal.
And I like him.
But I didn't vote for him.
I voted for Cuomo.
Good.
Now I got it here.
Let me see if I can show this to you.
I voted for Cuomo.
And they voted for Cuomo because he could beat him.
So let me just show you this.
You're going to love this.
This is absolutely nuts.
Get rid of this.
I'm going to show you.
Let me see if I can do this for you.
Keep talking.
Talk amongst yourselves.
Here.
By the way, there's a great thing called Snagget.
You have Snag It.
Snagget is fantastic.
Snag it is terrific.
Here we go.
Let me show you this.
And let me show you this.
And let me show you the poll.
And I want you to see this.
And you're going to love this because you got to see this to believe it.
It's the nuttiest thing ever.
And our good friend Elon Musk got it completely wrong because, and he's a smart guy, but even he could understand what the hell this thing means.
Because you could be on.
He could say, hey, look, he's on in two different places.
Yes.
Yes.
In New York, you can do this.
It makes no sense.
I recognize that fact, but it's one of those things which is just so mentally.
It is so stupid.
All right.
Hang on.
Let me see if we can do this.
This download here.
Is that it?
No, let me see.
Oh, for the love of God.
Hang on.
Let me see this.
We're going to make this.
I'm going to call this.
Hang on a minute.
I'm going to call this.
Hang on a minute.
Just talk amongst yourselves, my friend.
I'm sorry, I should have had this before, but you know what?
I've been busy.
I've been doing this goddamn thing for like 24 hours straight.
And I can't even see straight.
Anyway, let me read this thing to you.
Forget it.
Line A.
It says, Democrat, Zoran Kwame Mam Dani.
B B, second one.
Curtis A. Sliwa.
C, conservative, Irene Estrada.
Nobody knows Irene Estrada.
I've never heard of Irene Estrada.
Don't know who Irene Estrada is.
Don't know where she's from.
Irene is she's third.
She's third in the list.
Okay?
You got that?
Now moving down.
Line D, working families.
You've got two.
You've got one.
Zoran Kwame Mamdani.
So he's in Democrat.
And interestingly enough, and he's in.
Let me see something here.
Oh, what a country I live in.
You have no idea, and part of me also is very, very upset to an extent.
And then I'm thinking, you know, well, F you, pardon my friend, I think you know what I'm saying.
If you don't know any better, I'm not going to help you.
And I'm not going to leave, and we're not going to go and all that nonsense.
Nobody is going to be leaving.
Nobody is going to be going.
It's just nobody is, nobody is going.
Okay, we are, we are not leaving.
It's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard in my life.
We're not leaving.
We're not going to quit.
We're not going to move.
We're not going to be.
These are the same people, by the way, who scream and they always yell.
They always say, they always say something to the effect of, oh, look, this Iraq is just like, oh, oh, oh, no.
They always laugh at Rosie O'Donnell.
Rosie O'Donnell.
Rosie O'Donnell, she's a fool.
She's terrible.
Well, what about you?
Well, I'm leaving.
Oh, because I got to make a statement.
Yeah, but you were just mocking Rosie O'Donnell.
Well, that's different.
This is me.
Nobody's leaving.
It's the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Nobody is leaving.
This nonsense about leaving.
In any event, so moving on down the road, for some reason, I can't bring this up.
And line E, Curtis Lee was on it again, Protect Animals Party.
So he's the Republican nominee, and he's the only one on the Protect Animals Party.
Moving into row F, you've got Eric Adams, who's still on.
He's in the safe and affordable or whatever.
Then J, you have Jim Walden.
He's in the integrity party.
And then finally, Andrew M. Cuomo, fight and deliver party.
Did you hear what I'm saying?
Do you get this?
It is the most bizarre thing I've ever seen in my life.
I don't understand how this scene works.
He's in the fight and deliver party.
So we live in this stupid world where to find these jadros, you got to know first of all where you're going.
And many people have never even taken it.
You always have to take a copy of the ballot in with you.
It's critical.
So that's the way that is.
Now, you got that?
Now, Curtis Leew cannot win no matter what.
Curtis Leewa cannot win.
He can't win.
He can't win.
If it's Curtis against Mom Donnie, he can't win.
He's done better than anybody.
By the way, the numbers are out of this world.
My God, the numbers are through the roof.
You can't even believe.
You can't believe the number.
Okay, great.
Wonderful.
Well, guess what?
It doesn't matter.
It's good because it throws the polls off.
Wait a minute, look who it is.
It's uh, it's uh Mark Klingerfeld.
God bless America.
Deliver us from this mess.
You know, Mark, thank you, by the way, for your kindness.
It's not really a mess.
Oh, I forgot.
Pilgrim media says, how does ranked voting affect this election?
That's only in primaries.
It doesn't affect the general.
That's a good question.
Listen, this is America.
We've got Virginia.
We got this woman, Mikey Sherrill.
Mikey, they thought it was Mickey.
You think Mom Donnie's bad?
There are people on TV calling her Mickey.
Can you believe this?
Mickey.
I'm thinking these people are retarded.
These people are absolutely, they can't even, they didn't even look it up.
They didn't look up her name.
Now, she's that's another story, too, but we could lose that one.
Absolutely, which is very, very sad because there's a fellow named John.
Oh, here's another one for you.
His name is Jack Chattarelli.
C-I-A, Chia.
Cha, like Focat Cha.
CIA, Focat Cha.
CI is Chi.
You got it?
They call him Jack Chitterelli.
That's not his name.
His name is not Chitterelli.
I say, what?
I don't even know.
I don't even know what to say.
I don't know what to call this.
It blows my mind.
And what's also interesting is that he's running and President Trump gave him the official okay.
So you've got that one.
You got Virginia.
You got everywhere.
Everybody for the first time is acting so upset.
Oh my God.
Where have you been?
We went through Joe Biden.
You know how many idiots voted for Kamala Harris?
This is bigger than just us.
This is bigger than us.
Everybody's overreacting.
And the reason why is because the Republican Party hasn't done dick.
They don't do anything.
They just sit back and say, oh, this is terrible.
So anyway, so Andrew Cuomo thought, well, I've got this.
I'm a famous.
I'm the Dauphin.
I'm the scion of the Democratic Party.
Of course, they're going to vote me.
Come on.
Of course, I'm loved.
I'm the greatest thing in the world.
Really?
Oh, yes, absolutely.
You're the greatest thing.
Oh, of course.
Without a doubt.
I'm the greatest thing anybody's ever seen.
Well, not really.
Well, yes, I am.
I'm wonderful.
I'm terrific.
I'm the greatest.
So anyway, he got it.
They handed it to him.
Out of nowhere, they said, guess what?
Let me see if I can show this to you.
Here it is.
Check this out.
Do you see this?
Do you see the poll?
Now you can see it.
Finally.
Line A. I'm sorry that you can't see all this stuff.
See right here on the left, it says Zorhan Mamdani.
That's the A list.
You can see it below, Jamani Williams.
Oh, this guy.
He's a public advocate.
Nobody knows what the hell that is.
So on the left, that straight line is a Democratic.
So you got Zorhan Mamdani.
Then you got Curtis Levo for Republican.
Then you got conservative Irene Estrada.
Moving over, you see working families, Zoran.
And then you go to E, you got Curtis Lewa again.
You got Eric Adams and F. J, you've got Jim Walden.
And the penultimate Andrew M. Cuoto in the Cuomo in the fight and deliver party.
You see how this thing works?
Are you seeing this?
Do you see this?
Look at this nonsense.
And poor Elon Musk said, hey, look, Andrew Cuomo is only once.
I know.
I could be, if I qualified, I could be on the working families.
It was conservative.
This guy, Ray Harding, years ago.
This is New York.
This is simple.
You got that one?
This is, oh, yeah.
And by the way, this language, you're right.
Why is it just, what is it, Chinese or Japanese?
What is it?
I have a hard time sometimes telling the truth.
Why just, why?
There's nothing in Spanish.
This is just crazy talk.
This is nuts.
This is one of those things which I wish I could tell people about, but I can't.
So this is where we are right now.
It's just crazy.
So anyway, so here's a story.
It gets even better.
So all of a sudden, lo and behold, you've got Curtis Lewa.
Now, Curtis Lewa is, of course, the best.
Like I said, a lot of people I know, they're getting mad at Curtis.
And there's a part of me that says, you know, Curtis, you're kind of dicking around with this.
And I'm starting to, I'm really kind of sort of maybe resenting you just a tad because you've been putting us through this stuff.
When you really should have, you should have stepped down and given it to Andrew Cuomo.
Now, let me go back.
Everybody hates Andrew Cuomo.
Hates him.
Hates Andrew Cuomo.
Do you hear what I'm saying?
They hate him.
He had to step down.
He looks like Salazzo.
He's creepy.
I voted for him.
Yeah.
Because this is about strategy.
It's about math.
It's not personality.
It's not people that I like.
This doesn't matter.
This is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
So to make a long story short.
So this guy is so bad.
During COVID, during COVID, Andrew Cuomo took a number of people from old folks.
Actually, took people with COVID and dumped them off into senior facilities and hospitals.
And was it 15,000 died?
Now, were they all because of Andrew Cuomo?
No, let's say 5,000 were.
Let's say a third.
He is blamed for this.
And the rumor wasn't that he was so tied in with the hospital unions that they said, listen, we got to get rid of these people out of the hospitals because we can't, we need a turnover.
So he said, oh, I don't know what to do.
I'll throw them in the senior centers, these, you know, these elderly, whatever the hospital.
Now, whether that's true or not, later on he said, no, listen, I was just following the directions of CDC.
Wherever I heard that before.
So first of all, so he killed Grandma Mima and Pawpaw.
He killed them.
15,000.
And Janice Dean on Fox has got such a heart on for him.
That's all she ever talked about.
That's all she ever talked about.
She was a weather woman.
And today in New Mexico, there's where that son of a bitch Cuomo killed my, was it her, what was it, her in-laws?
Yeah, that son of a bitch killed my in-laws.
Anyway, partly cloudy with a chance away.
Scott or Leiden is that son of a bitch.
That's all she talked about.
And she did it, of course, to get her own name because finally, how many times do you ever talk about the weather woman?
You know, it wasn't that it wasn't valid.
She was rightfully impingalu, as we say.
So that's number one.
Then he had no bail, no jail.
This is the son of a bitch who wanted to do that.
Then he did congestion pricing.
It costs us $9.
If I take the Yugo stretch out of the garage, I make a ride.
It's $9.
It's good for the day.
$9 to just drive around in my own city, my own block.
$9.
Because this son of a bitch came up with this because they wanted to help to encourage people to ride subways more on buses.
No, why don't you just clean up the buses in the city and the subways and get rid of these vermin and these Rikers Island genetic these freaks and arrest their ass lobotomies and throw them into a gulag I don't care but they didn't do that no he wanted congestion pricing so he did that one as well he screwed up the uh parole board oh and then he picks Kathy Hokle this numb nuts this is another one too she's not put it this way I got to be she's not retarded she's what
we used to call slow you ever see her she's just slow hi i'm kathy hochel there's this new york i should say it's kind of upstate kind of midwest but like rochester hi i'm kathy hochel and i'm your governor that's him too so nobody likes him but
he can beat mom donnie because he's cancer and uh cuomo is uh lupus or paralysis you know it's horrible but you're not gonna die with mom donnie You're gonna die.
So that's the thing.
So all of a sudden it starts off like this.
Curtis, I don't blame him for being pissed off.
He said, All right, I'm gonna be a Democrat.
Yeah, I mean a Republican.
Yeah, you go ahead, Curtis.
And he wins and did a hell of a job.
And people really like him.
Okay.
Andrew says, I got this.
I remember the first time I heard Zoran Mamdani's name.
I thought, what the hell is this?
Who is this guy?
What is this?
Is it Zoltan?
It sounds like a mentalist or something.
He has a turban and a zircon in his forehead.
Does the name Rosebud come to mind?
Imagine him wearing like a cape and a wand or a pointy hat with moons on it.
And he flashes the light.
I'm Zoltan Ramzabi.
Well, the joke's on us.
He went straight to the top.
And in this ranked voting, he became the nominee.
So then there's Cuomo said, hey, what about me?
I'll join this Fighting Deliber Party.
Well, as it happens, Curtis does better.
And this guy, Mamdani, is going through the roof, promising all kinds of shit that you and I know he can't deliver.
He can't.
And they call him, well, he's a socialist.
He's no, he's just lying.
And free, what is it?
Free buses.
Yeah, that's it.
Free, free buses.
And free, free health care.
Did I say that?
I can't do healthcare.
Free child care.
Free food.
We have state, city-run food.
We're going to have food, grocery stores, the food with the food.
Okay.
How are you going to do that?
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
We have no idea how we're going to rent-free.
We're going to freeze the rents.
No, you're not.
Who wants to live in a place?
If you freeze rents, that means you freeze profit.
That means they're going to say, I'm not going to fix anything.
It's going to be horrible, awful.
Anyway, and he's got this shit-eating grin smile all the time.
He's always smiling and grinning like he just farted in an elevator.
He's just this.
He's just absolutely so disingenuous.
He's got this wife.
She's what, 12, 28.
We don't know who she is.
You know anything about him.
He's from Uganda.
He's seven years ago.
He was naturalized.
He was just, they plucked him out of central casting.
They plucked him out of central casting, ladies and gentlemen.
That's the way that is.
Do you understand how this works?
They say, let's see what happens.
This is being there.
This is Chauncey Gardner.
This is I like to watch.
Ben, I like to watch.
This is Robert Redford.
This is the, now what do we do?
Remember that character?
This is that guy.
What was it?
Kevin Klein, Bill, or Ed or Bob.
It's a story about somebody who doesn't know what the hell they're talking about.
But he's smiling.
He's a smart guy.
He knows every line there is.
He's been making these speeches forever.
And you got a bunch of people like Big Tish, Big Tish James.
Big Tish, he's walking around the Brooklyn Bridge.
She's happy, alive.
She's happy.
Big Tish.
Yeah, you're a real, you're a real social committee Marxist.
You with your multiple houses and marrying your father.
What's with these Democrats marrying on paper?
Who was it?
Elon married her brother.
This wasn't her father.
These are a bunch of crooks.
These are hardcore gangsters.
This is who we're talking about right now.
It's the most incredible thing you've ever seen in your life.
So, Curtis is doing great.
And by the way, just so that you know, if I had my choice, I'd pick Curtis.
But Curtis isn't going to win.
So I want to stop Mom Donnie.
And the only way to stop Mom Donnie is to say, please, I hope you got my newsletter today.
Please vote for Curtis.
I mean, what am I saying?
Vote for Cuomo.
Hold your nose and vote for Cuomo.
That's it.
Nobody likes him.
Even he says, Nobody likes him.
Nobody likes me.
Okay.
This is where we are.
This is where we are.
Okay.
And I think you should put your money in the fact of Mom Donnie.
Now, the good thing about this is that everything, this guy doesn't know what he's doing.
Nobody voted for him.
Hakeem Jeffries wouldn't even, they don't want him.
Obama came, never mentioned, never endorsed him.
They don't want him because he's full of shit.
Pardon my French.
These are colloquialisms that really explain, explicate, live, and expatiate specifically what I'm talking about.
It's wild.
We have the best police commissioner.
We have Jessica Tish, billionaire from the Tish family.
Billionaire.
The first time I saw her, I thought, oh my, she looks like she looks like your little sister's friend.
You know, you ever have that?
Like one time, like I remember my little sister is I took her to a concert.
Can I bring Margaret?
All right, that was her friend, Margaret.
All right, bring Margaret along.
You know, I got to pick, take Margaret, but she's a nice girl.
And Tish looked like you got Tish James, and this is Jessica Tish.
And I thought, oh my God, because we had, you know, Ray Kelly, the great Ray Kelly, and you have Bill Bratton, you know, and Jack Maple and you know, Tom Holman, that kind of stuff.
Then you got this one.
You got Margaret.
She's phenomenal.
She is the best.
I love this woman.
Mrs. L and I are biggest fans.
Don't let looks for you because she just looks so nice.
Oh, she's tough and smart.
Okay?
Because crime is a thing.
So he says, well, I'm going to ask Jessica Tish whether she wants to be my commissioner.
Okay, fine.
The good news about that is, are you going to let her do what she wants to do?
Well, see, that's the issue.
Are you going to let her do what she wants to do?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Well, what do you mean?
Well, I mean, I think, I think so.
I'm not really sure.
I, you know, okay.
All right.
Well, let's see how that works.
The bottom line is simply this.
And this is, I hope to God that they do the right thing.
Hey, is this Frank?
Is this, is this Frank from?
Oh, my, is this the old Frank?
Frank, is that you?
Just Frank?
Haven't seen you forever.
Is that you, Frank?
Remember, Frank, his name is just Frank.
They even have no fancy name.
No Frankie.
I don't know what the M.
I think YouTube has been fooling around with it because he was just Frank.
Anyway, oh, Frank, you son of a gun.
How the hell are you?
My best to your wife as well.
I haven't seen you since I think it was at the cutting room.
Anyway, so here's the best one.
This is the thing we're going to do.
Now, next thing we got to figure out is, and this is the most important thing in the world.
We're in this, I don't know, stage, this place we're in right now.
I don't know.
And we're going to be going crazy watching what happens tonight.
And the Republicans have had to, they should have gone out and they should have told people right off the bat, listen, let me see if we can explain this thing to you.
We want, it's kind of an uphill battle in New York, but you got to be able to tell people this is why he wants you to become and why we think you should be a Republican.
I am not a Republican.
I am not a Republican.
I'm an independent.
I think Republicans are full of it.
I don't like them.
I like certain people.
I like Trump.
Not everything he does, but 90% of what he does, I'll take it.
We're going through this weird time right now.
Republicans are weird.
They're actually giving Tucker Carlson a hard time because he interviewed Nick Fuentes.
So what?
Well, Nick Fuentes says he doesn't believe in the Holocaust.
He's 20 years old.
Who gives a shit what Nick Fuentes says?
He's the most popular person on the.
I don't believe that.
Well, can we talk to somebody who doesn't believe Kim did you hear where Kim Kardashian doesn't believe we landed on the moon?
Okay, fine.
What's going on here?
Pierce Morgan interviews serial killers.
See, the Republicans, they eat their own.
Democrats don't do that.
They eat the enemy.
Marjorie Taylor Greene going on the view.
Who cares?
Frank says, what's up, L?
Cuomo is a Democrat.
He should have dropped out.
He lost the primary.
That would have time for voters to learn about Curtis.
After early voting, it's too late.
Cuomo didn't drop out because he's working for Zora.
You know, you know, it's funny, Frank.
A lot of people are saying that.
A lot of people are saying that.
My good friend, my colleague Dominic Carter, made a lot of, didn't say that per se, but certainly gave, kind of intimated and gave a number of suggestions to the fact that perhaps maybe that is not as impossible.
I don't know how.
I would say no.
I think Curtis is far too reasonable and loyal.
But let me tell you something.
When you abandon people, people are saying such horrible things about Curtis now.
It's not even funny.
I mean, they're saying terrible, terrible things about him.
And he's getting tired of this.
And Curtis is saying, listen, I never bothered anybody.
I'm doing my thing.
And now you want me to drop out.
And the reason why, statistically, if Cuomo runs against, remember, he's a Democrat, but he's a Democratic light.
You know what I mean?
He's not a lefty loon.
But if he stops, if they drop out and he comes in, there's a chance.
There's a chance.
But Curtis said, F you and the horse you rode in on, I'm not.
And he hates Cuomo with a passion.
Hates him.
Oh my God.
But he used to call him evil eye Cuomo and they hate him.
And Curtis hates Trump and hates everybody.
Curtis, his problem is you got to get along with people.
Curtis doesn't know that.
Curtis doesn't, he's kind of like of the streets, you know, kind of a thing.
He's the tough guy.
He's he's, you know, I will negotiate with the devil.
You know, I like the devil.
That's right.
Fuentes likes Stalin.
By the way, I got to tell you, what do you think about that one?
What do you think about that one?
I've met a lot of people.
I know, I know people who really think we never landed on the moon, but seriously, a Holocaust denier, legitimate?
I don't know anybody.
I don't mind who they no, never happened.
No, I don't know anybody like that.
So, okay.
What?
You talk to somebody who says this, so what?
I know people who say things about health all the time, which is the most ridiculous thing in the world.
Who are putting, I don't understand.
I'll talk to anybody.
Anybody.
I'll talk to somebody who believes in critical race theory, somebody who believes in revisionist theory about why this country was founded.
I'm not supposed to talk to Nick Fuentes.
Why?
It doesn't make any sense.
I don't get it.
I don't understand this.
And we're eating our own.
I got the Heritage Foundation against this one.
Republicans hate each other.
They don't do a goddamn thing.
And let me tell you what they do here.
Hey, look what this Johnny Gelaine says.
Johnny says there is an old guard DNC and the up-and-coming wacky new radical foreign-funded DNC party.
You're right.
And you're right about that, Johnny.
And thank you.
And the new Democrats do not get along with the old ones.
They don't know who these people are.
When I was a kid, the Democrats made sense to me.
Anti-war, pro-woman, pro-rights, you know, pro-peace.
I don't even know.
I don't know who these people are.
I don't know who's who's who is least psychotic.
If there is, I don't know.
There is not one person that says, yes.
That's no, I've got.
Listen, I like Trump because he hasn't let me down.
The moment he does, I'm out of there.
He does some things, which, again, I wouldn't do.
I wouldn't do what he wants to do.
This is ridiculous.
What if I do America first?
Not everything that Nick Fuente says is wrong, but he loves Stalin.
He's doing this just to, he's like that.
He's like that.
There's a kid.
I shouldn't say the kid, maybe he's 20.
He's in New York.
He has this communist newspaper.
And he's a communist.
And he loves to get people upset.
Remember when in Florida years ago, when I was growing up, and they told the beast, there was this thing called the Rats, the Rats?
Rat's hole, Rats Den?
It was all these surfers.
Remember the surfers?
And they had the big, like the Harleys, the Easy Riders, and they wore Nazi-style helmets.
Remember that?
This is what they sometimes you saw the Iron Cross.
Remember that?
These surfers or whatever?
This is stupid.
This is stupid.
The Republicans are just stupid.
They just attack each other.
Democrats don't do this.
They're happy.
They may not endorse them, but they don't badmouth them.
Nobody badmouths.
Like, okay, well, whatever.
And you can tell Hakeem Jeffries does not want this guy in.
So what we need to do is we need to be going on and trying to get young people, Frank and others, to find out, well, what is it that you understand?
Let me ask you a question.
Let me ask you a question.
Let me start off with this.
Very, very simple.
Let's say I come to you and I say, hi, what's your name?
Oh, my name is Toby.
Okay, Toby, what do you do?
I'm 20 years old.
I had a guy that's like 20 years old.
Like 3 o'clock in the morning.
I'm thinking, what the hell are you doing up at 3?
Anyway, great guy, great kid, great, great, great, just great.
Absolutely terrific.
So anyway, so as I'm talking to him, I said, what about some of your friends?
I think he went to either a religious school or a private school.
I said, well, what do you think?
What sort of makes your friends, you know, conservative or whatever?
What is it?
So I would like to go in and this is what I would do.
I would go to any town meeting, any town hall, say, hi, how are you?
Like to meet you.
Hi, I'm your guest.
And I'd say, let me ask you something.
You get a couple of women.
I said, please don't raise your hand, but has there anybody here who's been the victim of an essay, you know, a sexual attack?
And what do you think would happen if maybe something happened to your daughter?
Let's say she was herself affected or hurt or harmed by some lunatic.
What do you think would happen?
What do you think would happen?
And what would you want to happen?
And people would say, I would want to apprehend the person.
Good, very good.
Write that out, apprehend.
What else?
Maybe seek medical, psychiatric counseling attention for your daughter.
Yes, yes, very good, very good, very good.
Yes, yes, yes.
Anybody else?
Anybody else here have anything?
Anything else you would do?
Yes.
What about you?
Well, I would do such and such.
Very good.
What if I told you that I wanted to put more emphasis on why this person did this?
What was the motivation behind this assailant?
Why did he pick your daughter?
And do you not think it would be best for us to perhaps maybe, maybe, spend more time, spending more time learning about the interpersonal dynamics of why people do this?
What?
Yes.
And to bring your daughter face to face with her assailant so they can work things out.
So we can have, and this is what restorative justice is.
It's called non-carceral, non-retributive.
This is what they're doing.
This goes back decades before Soros.
That's what they want to do.
That's Soran Mamdani.
That is front.
That is in the handbook of the Democratic Socialist.
What do you think about that?
What do you think about that?
And I would tell them, I asked people, what do you think about that?
Well, I think it's wrong.
Okay, well, this is how we do.
Right off the bat, people would say, what?
So remember.
And after you are coming, maybe after the wounds have healed, internal, external, psychological, social, once the scars of this horrible event, we're going to have you sit down with your assailant so you can patch things up.
And if you don't set up, show up, if you don't cooperate, we'll drop the charges because you're not cooperating.
Because we're taking a non-carceral look.
Our job is not to put people in prison.
It's to get to the bottom of this.
Because for far too long, we've always talked about stopping the behavior, but not understanding why.
I am telling you, this is the very first thing I would think.
First thing I would say, what do you think about that?
I would not use the word socialist.
I told you, two good friends of mine, one's a socialist, one's a Marxist.
And they don't believe in this stuff at all.
Nuts.
They're saying, no, no, they're into the economic part of the thing.
They're not into this other kind of stuff.
See, because Americans think, Americans think that they use the wrong term.
You do not understand Sharia law.
You don't understand it.
You think it means prayer vigils at three in the morning or calls to prayer.
That's not it.
Or cutting somebody's hand off.
That's not it.
That's not it.
that's not what sharia is it's about interpreting laws and social dynamics and wedding contracts it's almost you know how in the catholic church you can you you you can you can annul there's the church wedding and then there's a civil wedding and you annull it well sort of like but we use it incorrectly so don't bring it up don't bring up sharia don't say socialist say let me ask you a question Friday night,
Saturday night, all of a sudden at three in the morning, there's this loud speaking and you, oh my god, what is it?
And instead of hearing like instead of that, you hear it sounds like a lion king or something.
I'm doing, I'm doing a de la cam and whatever.
I'm doing some language.
I don't know what it is.
How about that?
You want to be inclusive, don't you?
You can't don't say anything.
You think anybody has a right to do that?
And why do you think people do that?
Well, one of the reasons why people want to do that is so that they can get you and lure you to say something about it so that they can call you Islamophobic.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
It's to get you to come forward and to say, aha, you're one of them, aren't you?
At two?
Yes.
Isn't that something?
Isn't that something?
This is one of those things which absolutely blows my mind.
And interestingly enough, people just sort of don't get it.
They don't really understand how things work.
And that's the bottom line.
And you see, what I think is interesting, what I think is fascinating, and what a lot of people don't really grasp is this idea, this notion of something which is a little bit more interesting.
And it's one of those things which I think you have to kind of look at differently.
See, it works like this.
There are people who sometimes mean well and some who don't mean well.
How many of you, if I could ask you, my dear friends, right now, what do you think, if you don't mind, what is your ethnicity, as we say?
What is your ethnicity?
What is it?
Oh, Johnny, let me see, Johnny.
Yeah.
What is yours?
Mine is very interesting.
On my father's side, my mother, my grandmother's, she was Sicilian.
That's it.
My grandfather's side, my father's father, was Puerto Rican.
I mean, they were French, but they kind of landed there.
And my grandfather was as dark as you can imagine.
And my father, when my father was like in his 20s, I mean, he looked like he went to the beach.
There's a lot of, well, I don't know.
Perhaps soul in my line?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't care.
It is what it is.
But in my family, and my mother said I was like Scotch, Irish, and German.
And they, I don't know what the hell they did.
But anyway.
So when they came here, they loved America.
They wanted to assimilate in America.
They wanted to be a part of America.
They wanted America to be, but they wanted to assimilate, but not to replace their world with ours.
They didn't show up and say, okay, we're going to go into some, we're going to go to this little part of Cleveland and we're going to take over.
We're going to own everything.
We're going to own the school board and the city council and the, and the, the mayors and we're going to do everything.
And we're going to make, there's going to be Sicilian.
There's going to be at three in the morning on loudspeakers and pasta will be.
No, they incorporated, they assimilated.
And I, in New York City, I'm one of the great beneficiaries of some of the most wonderful, heterogeneous, infusion or infusion and infusion of multiplicities of people.
Pilgrim media says, Pilgrim says, my great grandfather was translucent.
That's white.
There you go.
You got Sicilians and you've got a lot of people.
Look at where you're from.
Irish, Scots.
You're proud.
People came here and they become a part of America.
Ashkenazi, Scandinavian.
Ooh, you got Jews and nothing wrong with that.
Ashkenazi, Sephardic.
It's wonderful.
It's wonderful.
But you wanted to, and by the way, speaking of Cuba, in Miami, oh, Miami, when the Cubans came in the brain drain in the late fifties, and then later on, even when the Mario boat lift in the eighties, there was an infusion, an extravasation of a wonderful influx of these wonderful people with wonderful foods and wonderful languages.
And we've got the salsa and they made South Florida.
But they, while they really, I mean, there was, you heard Spanish all over the place, dominoes on Calle Ocho and all of this stuff.
You, you, you saw all of these things that were happening, but, and this is important, but, they never, ever forgot where they were.
They were proud of America.
Proud, proud of this.
That's the difference.
These folks are not.
Did you see in, in, in Minneapolis, this Omar Fateh, this Somalian dude.
By the way, where is he from?
Born in D.C. Elan Omar is from Mogadishu.
Some of these people are not.
Zoran is from, uh, uh, Uganda.
Uh, but, but, remember, you can't throw somebody out.
If you're born in this country, you are an American citizen.
That's enough.
Period.
End of discussion.
But they, this is a different story.
We are fighting for our being.
Please, join us.
Join us.
Bring your culture.
Bring your food.
Oh my God.
I can take you.
If I put you in the Yugo, it's a stretch.
And I say, let's go to, let's go to Brooklyn.
Let's go to Brighton Beach.
Look at this.
Russian and Ukrainian.
I mean, the, you can see the, the Russian language and the, but it's there.
They're not, they're not taking over.
It's just, that's the way it is.
I can take you to Williamsburg.
I can take you to parts of, um, Brooklyn where you can see the Orthodox Jews and the, and the, uh, the, uh, uh, the, um, not the, the, um, Lubavitchers and the, and the Hasidim and they, they live in there.
Um, It's great.
Then I'm going to take you to Astoria Queens.
And you're going to see the Greeks.
Oh, and the diners and the bakeries and this incredible, again, this perfusion of the great Greek people.
And then every year we have Greek American parades and the Caribbean parades.
And then there's a Peruvian that can take you to a little Brazil China.
I can take you to Flushing Queens and you'll swear you're in Beijing.
Food like you cannot imagine, but they don't take over.
They assimilate.
We can go to little Italy.
We can, whatever's left of that, we can take you to little Korea.
You like pizza?
You want to name it?
And bakeries?
Oh, my God.
Bakeries?
The Greek bakery.
You ever go to a Chinese bakery?
Where you have a cafeteria tray and you just take stuff off of the, oh, my God.
I could take you to great Vietnamese food, Thai food, Laotian food.
I can take you to so many places.
We love it.
We thrive on it.
We absolutely.
I could take you to the real little Italy, not downtown, not Mulberry Street, but Arthur Avenue in the Bronx.
That's where it is.
And Arthur Avenue.
Oh, my God.
You go to the pasta shop, the Mozarella shop.
There's this, was it not the, well, DeFaros is a pizza place, but there's this, there's this, there's this, you just can't, you can't believe it.
I love that part.
I don't believe there's any of us who want to who believe for a moment that we should stop this.
But what we're talking about right here is something which is different.
We are talking about people who are not celebrating diversity.
They are celebrating exclusion, not inclusion.
Now, what's going to happen?
And by the way, stay tuned.
I may be back tonight.
Don't forget I'm going to be doing WABC from 1 to 5.
Later on, I'm going to be doing this.
Mrs. L and I are.
But we are not leaving.
Pilgrim says, you haven't lived until you've had real dim sum.
Oh, I'm telling you.
In Flushing, in these, almost like a mall of authentic, real or Chinese.
If I go to a Chinese restaurant, there's no Chinese people there, I don't want to go.
And in the old days in the south of Florida, if you went to Florida, if you went to a soul food place and there wasn't black folks, not interested.
Sorry.
Oh, that's racist.
It's not racist.
It's smart.
So let me tell you something, my friends.
A couple of things.
First and foremost, I want to thank our sponsor.
Two things.
Remember the SNAP?
Remember the SNAP riots?
Digital card turned off.
If this isn't CBDC's, I don't know what it is.
If you don't see this dystopian Brave New World, that's number one.
And when people don't get food, get ready.
That is a beta test.
They know exactly what they're doing.
The same thing they did during COVID.
And right now I've told you about preparewithlionel.com.
This is the best, the one, the only, the best emergency food, but not only that, water purification and matches and lighters and generators and food, 25 years of shelf life.

Food, water, energy, and ammo.
Can't help you with the ammo, but the rest I can.
Preparewithlionel.com.
Do this.
They're ready.
They're ready.
They are ready for big time.
Look how they're talking about food and the socialization of food.
Maybe you need an engraved invitation.
Maybe I can do that for you.
And also our good friend, Mike Lindell is still with us.
Mike Lindell is still busting the hump, and he's available at mypillow.com.

That's all they care about.
The subs, the subs, the metrics, getting on board, letting our word be known.
I'm different.
I'm not the usual suspect.
That's why they don't like me.
I'm not going to say doctrine here stuff.
If I say it, I believe it.
If I don't, I don't know.
It may or may not comport, may not comply, may not fall within the adumbration of the particular tenets in the Articles of Faith of the Republican Party.
I'm not a Republican.
I'm an American.
I'm a libertist.
You understand that?
So subscribe to Lionel Nation.
By the way, I just did a brand new story on Lionel Legal, our other channel, why Trump's going to pardon Diddy.
Absolutely guaranteed.
And by the way, this is over.
I can't wait to talk to you about Prince Andrew.
Oh, that's the sickest.
Epstein is over here.
Andrew is over here in terms of just freak sick.
Okay, you got that?
You get that?
All right, my friends.
All right.
We love you.
Stay tuned.
Stay lined up here.
I'll be back maybe later tonight.
And God bless America.
God bless New York City.
And God bless you.
And thank you, my dear friends.
Thank you for your support.
Thank you for your indefatigable support and being here.
This is such a pleasure.
I love Agon Packer.
Turn the mic on and talk to you and nobody stops me.
