	This is an iHeart podcast.
	All right, thank you, Scott Shannon, and thanks to all of you for being with us.
	Write down our toll-free telephone number.
	If you want to be a part of the program, it's 800-941.
	Sean, if you want to join us, you know, I'm watching my friends in my former state of New York.
	I guess I have a lot of former states.
	I formerly lived in Rhode Island, California, Alabama, Georgia, back to New York, now in my free state of Florida, which is my home, you know, for all time.
	I'm hoping and praying.
	And Sean, I'm getting all these notes.
	Did you see the poll that came out today about the mayoral race?
	And I'm like, yeah, I did see that poll.
	I read it very closely.
	And it has Mamdani, Kami, Marxist Mamdani, you know, with 44% of the vote, Quinnipiak University, and Andrew Cuomo at 34%.
	The polls are closing.
	The headline is Cuomo closes gap on Mamdani instead of 14 points.
	Okay, it's 10 points.
	That is not a close poll to me.
	A double-digit lead is a double-digit lead.
	There's an interesting thing we're watching.
	We're not ready to go with it yet, but Representative Randy Fine demanding the feds review every naturalization of the past 30 years, starting with Mamdani.
	I think we need to take a hard look at how these folks became citizens.
	If there's any fraud or any violation of the rules, we need to denaturalize and deport.
	He said that Mamdani is a threat to the nation.
	But what's fascinating is turnout is interesting in New York.
	Early voting started on Saturday in New York City over this hotly contested mayoral race.
	And it's about five times more voters hitting the polls compared to 2021 with early voting kicking off.
	Obviously, a lot of interest in this because of Marxist Kami Mamdani.
	But anyway, sharp jump from the 15,418 that showed up when early voting started four years ago.
	You know, this time, 79,409.
	So pretty significant increase.
	He is under fire yet again, Zoran, Kami, Mamdami, as he recounted the horrors of 9-11 and how he faced discrimination.
	And his Muslim aunt stopped taking the subway after 9-11 because she did not feel it was safe for her to wear her hijab.
	JD Vance, the vice president, slammed Mamdani for making his auntie, as he said, quote, the real victim of 9-11.
	Then we have other things that have emerged in this race.
	All this last-minute stuff.
	And I'm thinking, all right, all this last-minute panic and then the pressure on Curtis Liwa.
	And I'm looking at everybody like, what part of not waking up after the primary, you know, what part of this were you asleep on?
	And I'm just like, you know, I blame all these people that are in a state of panic.
	I'm like, the panic button should have gone off after the primary where he absolutely destroyed, you know, Cuomo by, what, 13 points in that primary race.
	And anyway, he's now facing, and now all of a sudden everything's resurfacing.
	A video of him claiming to be the victim of anti-Muslim discrimination in the wake of the 9-11 terrorist attacks, you know, talking with voters for the New York State Assembly in February 2020, where he describes instances of alleged discrimination against him and argues there are exceptions to tolerance in America.
	And he claims his school teacher took him and another student out of class and warned them that he may face bullying because of the attack on 9-11 and a whole series of other things that has come up here.
	And we'll get to all of it, but Zoron Mamdani's father, this just surfaced.
	America is the root of all evil and was the inspiration for the Nazis.
	Hitler learned genocide from Abraham Lincoln.
	I'm sure Zoron loves America.
	Nice job, New York City.
	As I pointed out, he tears up as he recounts the true horrors of 9-11, him facing discrimination, and his Muslim aunt stopped taking the subway because she did not feel safe.
	Who is the victim here?
	Who was the victim on the victims on 9-11?
	Well, maybe the, What is it, 2,977 Americans that were slaughtered that day?
	And the many, many other Americans that have since died from 9-11-related illnesses, and the families of all those victims of terror that day when the Trade Center towers fell and a field in Pennsylvania and the Pentagon was hit.
	J.D. Vance was pissed.
	According to Zoron, the real victim of 9-11 was his auntie who got some allegedly bad looks.
	He took to X-raying that.
	He beamed in a photo with this, you know, this Imam who was a character witness for the blind sheik.
	I mean, you have all these instances of Mamdani.
	Remember, he sang a rap song giving love to the Holy Land Five that was, you know, American Hamas financiers convicted and sent to prison for up to 65 years.
	He's friends with Hassan Parker or Piker, whatever his name is, who believes that America deserved 9-11, posted a picture with Hassan while the streamer wrote, did jet fuel melt steel beams, you know, a t-shirt meme for 9-11 truthers who believe jihadists were behind the attack.
	Then, of course, was embracing this radical Imam Wahaj.
	That's the guy that was a character witness for the blind sheikh, Omal Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh, convicted of a host of terrorism charges related to the 93 trade center attacks.
	His father was pretty shocking.
	And I'm asking all these people, well, why didn't you discuss?
	Why was what?
	There was no op research done on this guy?
	You knew who he was.
	You saw him rise in the polls.
	You have another example.
	Mamdani is beaming with members of Communist Cuba's delegation to the U.N. trip to Albany last year.
	And then it even went a step further.
	And anyway, went on to who wants to aid the communist dictatorship and advocate the end of the U.S. blockade against Cuba.
	You know, that's par for the course.
	Remember, Comrade de Blasio honeymooned in Cuba and visited Nicaragua.
	Look, I mean, the bottom line is, as an article in the New York Post pointed out, is a vote for Mamdani.
	You're voting for more criminals on the streets.
	He's going to open up the jails.
	He's going to decriminalize major criminal behavior, including assault, depending what degree of assault it is.
	You had progressive stars, AOC, Grandpa Bernie, teaming up with Kami Mamdani Sunday night for a New York is not for sale rally at Forest Hill Stadium in Queens.
	And that event came a week before Election Day.
	And I'll play for you later what, you know, we're not the crazy ones, AOC say.
	And I'm like, really?
	And you had Kathy Hokel defending her endorsement of Kami Mamdani, Marx's Mamdani.
	Have the same thing.
	We now know where Hakeem Jeffries stands.
	I told you it was a matter of time.
	He'd cave.
	I don't know if Chuck, has Chucky Schumer caved yet?
	I think he's going to feel the pressure and ultimately do it.
	We'll see what happens.
	But apparently, hundreds of requests pouring into a watchdog group called Stop Anti-Semitism after they offered last week to help New York City residents relocate.
	I mean, if you look at this poll, fully 25% of New Yorkers, 5% undecided, are saying if this guy gets elected, they're getting the hell out.
	They want no part of New York if this guy's going to be there.
	I mean, you have the hardest core radical left, AOC, Grandpa Bernie, you know, teaming up.
	New York is not for sale.
	Forest Hill Stadium in Queens, New York.
	I know the area very well.
	Over 25% of New Yorkers will flee.
	5% don't know what they're going to do.
	Bill Maher actually nailed it.
	He warned fellow Democrats Mamdani's impact.
	He says the whole party is on the ballot.
	Well said, Bill Maher.
	He is 100% right.
	The whole party is on the ballot.
	Are they going to embrace this radicalism?
	House Republicans, you know, again, looking into his citizenship and the legality of it.
	You know, but look at, we now have an article in the New York Post today.
	I'll read it that he's closely linked to Linda Sarsour.
	We've talked about this woman before.
	She's not apparently just playing a big role in Mamdani's mayoral campaign.
	She's been a political mentor and close friend of this Silver Spoon socialist, as they write, for nearly a decade and helped guide his far-left hatred for Israel.
	Mamdani's propensity for making pie in the sky Marxist promises date back to his high school days when he made a failed bid for student government with a fresh juice for all campaign.
	You know, it was Hamas supporting Palestinian-American firebrand Sarsour who helped nurture this guy, according to this article.
	And it goes on and on.
	So his radical associations get more radical by the day.
	You know, there's nothing that he's promising here.
	Never mind, you know, his unwillingness forever to condemn globalize the antifada that gives any other indication except this is an unmitigated disaster.
	But as I've been saying, I just said it differently than Bill Maher.
	Yeah, he says it, I think, very articulately that the whole Democratic Party is on the line here.
	This is the whole ticket.
	Who's going to control this party?
	And where's Chuck Schumer?
	The guy wouldn't contemplate globalize the Antifada and the Senate minority leader didn't have the courage to stand up and condemn this.
	And unbelievable.
	Zoron's dad claiming the Nazis took their cues from the United States of America.
	The allies who prosecuted individual Nazis at Nuremberg were invested in ignoring Nazism's political roots for those roots were also America's.
	The United States is the outcome of a history of genocide, ethnic cleansing, official racism, concentration camps known as Indian reservations.
	That's his father.
	Guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
	And that's what you can expect.
	Meanwhile, President Trump left at 11 p.m. on Friday night, arrived in Malaysia 24 hours later, one refueling stop, and signed a historic deal for peace, thank goodness, and stopping that conflict and that war.
	And also, trade agreements are in place.
	We expect, according to trade representative Treasury Secretary Besant, that when he meets with President Xi, there's a lot on the agenda.
	Maybe a finalization of a TikTok deal to make it, you know, I guess China proof it in terms of spying capabilities.
	Big story about honey pots from China and from Russia being used to lure big tech people in so that intellectual property could be stolen.
	And meanwhile, Joe Biden came out of mothballs and hiding, and he's saying these are dark days for America.
	Well, we have inflation under control.
	Hopefully this week we'll learn that interest rates come down, I would hope, point, you know, a half a basis point.
	It's probably going to be 0.25 is my guess, or maybe nothing because Jerome Powell just hates Trump.
	But remember, gas prices, lowest point in four years.
	Hundreds of billions of dollars in tariffs are rolling in.
	We have $17 trillion in the pipeline for new manufacturing rules, facilities, rather.
	We have energy dominance.
	The president opened Anwar last week, and it's just a matter of time for all these high-paying career jobs come online.
	That's going to be a great opportunity.
	I'm urging all of you in this audience to be smart.
	Pay attention to where these monies are being invested.
	I'll give you one example.
	Apple's going to spend a half a trillion dollars in Texas.
	Okay.
	If you're living in California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, New Jersey, although New Jersey has a chance to be saved, I have a big announcement about New Jersey on TV tonight.
	And you may be not happy where you are at this moment in your life.
	You might think about where is all this manufacturing, the $17, $18 trillion that's committed monies that's going to be spent in the next three years.
	Where is it going?
	And then get your applications in because these are all going to be high-paying career jobs in the auto industry, semiconductor chip manufacturing industry, pharmaceutical industry, rare earth minerals industry, and the oil industry.
	This is an opportunity for, I hope all of you, if you want to make more money and have a career job that pays well, gives you good benefits, this is going to be your best opportunity in your lifetime right now to get on board early before anyone else pays attention.
	By the way, Trump trolling the no-kings Democrats by refusing to rule out a third term.
	Their heads are exploding over at the view.
	We'll play it later.
	We have an announcement tonight.
	You don't know what it is.
	I don't know what it is now.
	I do not.
	About New Jersey?
	Yes, you do.
	Oh, I do know about that one.
	Oh, you do know about that.
	I thought there was another one.
	Anarchists busted by feds for putting a $45,000 hit on Pam Bondi, our attorney general.
	This is scary.
	This culture we are living in is extraordinarily scary.
	This is fascinating what's going on with the Schumer shutdown.
	The country's largest union representing federal workers called on Senate Democrats to end the government shutdown by passing the short-term CR that is a continuing resolution, the clean CR that Republicans have been fighting for instead of demanding $1.5 trillion in new spending for health care in part for health care for illegal immigrants,
	an extension of what was temporary, supposed to be temporary aid during COVID in terms of government subsidies.
	And whether they like it or not, they can't get past the fact that their reality, what they created, is Obamacare, which is an unmitigated disaster.
	You just can't get away from that fact.
	They created this.
	And I warned at the time, this is designed to funnel money from, and I'm sorry, funnel everybody into a government health care system.
	And every promise, and this is the failure of government.
	All of you that want to believe in the Green New Deal and government-guaranteed healthy food and a government-guaranteed job and a guaranteed government wage and a guaranteed retirement and guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed, guaranteed daycare and child care and on and on and on.
	Okay, the problem is what happens when you run out of everybody else's money.
	What they're not telling you is, is the Obamacare subsidies are sending premiums soaring and are costing many the coverage.
	Here's the truth: premiums already are expected to rise $1,665.
	By the way, this is where Ease Total Healthcare plans come in because it is an alternative to Obamacare.
	I think it's better.
	Anyway, 888 EAS123.
	You got to check it out if you're looking for an alternative.
	Anyway, all these subsidies, most Obamacare subsidies are not firing, only the added cash that Democrats put in during COVID.
	Those add-ons hike taxpayers' share of premiums to 93% on average.
	And nearly half of enrollees, it was 100%.
	With no add-ons, taxpayers will foot only 80% of the bill, and it was 68% in 2014 when Obamacare started.
	These premiums have tripled from pre-Obamacare levels, you know, from about $3,200 to $10,000.
	What do I say?
	It's up 300% on average.
	And you didn't keep your doctors.
	Millions didn't.
	Millions didn't keep their plans, and nobody saved money.
	And now they want a more permanent, they want all these extra COVID subsidies made permanent.
	Okay, that is now they want them all at a 10-year cost of nearly a trillion dollars.
	The national debt's $38 trillion.
	We cannot afford it.
	Period, end of sentence.
	Anyway, the Federal Workers Union, because all you keep hearing is we need it for leverage.
	We need it for leverage.
	We need it for leverage.
	Okay, Democrats are demanding the subsidies.
	They're demanding the refunding of NPR and PBS.
	They're demanding health care for illegals.
	They're demanding something that was designed to be temporary to be permanent, $1.5 trillion in new spending.
	John Fetterman saying to me last week, America's losing while Democrats keep playing three-card Monty with the government shutdown.
	You know, even fake news, CNN, fake Jake Tapper, ask Chris Murphy, Senator Connecticut, if he's willing to let Americans go hungry over Obamacare subsidies because they refuse to back any federal government funding.
	Republicans are willing to fund the government at current levels.
	And other Democrats, when pressed on why they're using working families as leverage, we played you this two Democrats last week on record.
	Well, we know it's going to hurt Americans and poor people, but we're doing it because we need it for the leverage.
	I'm like, okay, too honest by half.
	And now we're facing a point.
	The well has run dry.
	According to the Agriculture Department, they posted a stunning notice that SNAP benefits are going to be ending.
	That means no food assistance benefits issued on November 1st because of the Democratic-induced shutdown here.
	And millions are facing, you know, real hunger possibilities.
	You know, I've read that in Washington, D.C., there are people already showing up.
	And in Virginia, they're showing up because they're not getting their checks and they need to put food on the table.
	Too many people live paycheck to paycheck in this life.
	I know what it's like.
	Lived there, been there, done that, not fun.
	Millions face hunger now.
	And Hakeem Jeffries emphasized the need for bipartisan negotiation.
	How about you support reopening the government?
	I mean, but for the world's largest federal workers, federal workers represent all these Democrats.
	This union demanding Schumer and the Democrats reopen the government, they represent a million workers.
	And they said that it's time to pass a clean CR and that will end this shutdown today.
	No half measures, no gamesman shift.
	Happy Monday, Chucky.
	I hope your day's going well.
	And it's now, you know, headed into being potentially one of the largest government shutdowns of all time.
	The Federal Reserve, we'll see what they do this week.
	There's hope that there will be a rate cut this week.
	If I had to guess, the likely result is going to be another 2.25 basis point, quarter-point reduction, which is not enough for where the economy currently is.
	It just isn't.
	In immigration, the Chicago mayor is lashing out Brandon Johnson and saying that the legal term for my people were slaves.
	You want me to use that term too?
	He's calling that.
	I'm going to call attention to our cultural sources, Mr. Leonard, that you're supposed to have filed a report on spending on illegal aliens in Chicago at the White House by now.
	What's happening with that?
	What has happened with that?
	We don't have illegal aliens.
	I don't know if that's from some sort of sci-fi message that you wish to have had.
	Well, listen, the legal term for my people were slaves.
	You want me to use that term too?
	So, look, let's just get the language right.
	We're talking about undocumented individuals that are human beings.
	Well, I hate to tell you the official language of the federal government that has always been the official language is illegal alien.
	And now he's out there slamming it.
	They're undocumented.
	No, they're illegal immigrants.
	They didn't respect our laws, borders, and sovereignty.
	We'll get to this later.
	Wasn't as horrible a weekend as usual.
	Five shot and killed and 24 injured.
	Do any of you listening to the show right now know the names of one victim?
	I doubt it.
	I mean, it's just become part of everyday life in Chicago.
	But if they could weaponize or politicize it and then use it against Donald Trump, they certainly would.
	You have the No Kings protesters were composed mostly of educated white women in their 40s, according to experts and analysis.
	Anyway, psychotherapist Jonathan Alpert said no Kings protests were a snapshot of an era when emotional catharsis and civic activism have begun to blur.
	What we're seeing is a kind of group therapy playing out in the streets.
	And well, it certainly didn't move the needle, and I think it just shows how crazy the left has become.
	This is where the Mamdani race, this is a referendum on the Democratic Party.
	Make no doubt about it.
	And meanwhile, ICE, even though they now have targets on their, you know, bullseyes on their backs and foreheads, thanks to this ICE app that they're rolling out nationwide, giving illegal immigrants in this country a heads up that ICE is about to arrest them, which takes away the element of surprise and puts them in the crosshairs, which is extraordinarily dangerous.
	They keep doing this.
	Somebody's going to end up being killed.
	There's going to be people injured and killed.
	And by the way, they lost the fight over Brego Garcia, and he will be returning to his African, where is he going?
	He to the African nation of Liberia after reaching an agreement with that country.
	But arrests made as anti-ICE agitators caught on camera, you know, again, clashing.
	But they are being, you know, you got to understand they're being emotionalized.
	They're being whipped into a frenzy by the lunatic left in this country.
	Democratic Swalwell is demanding Mr. Fang Fang, isn't that Mr. Fang Fang?
	Mr. Fang Fang that 2028 Democrats vow to destroy Trump's White House ballroom.
	This is what they're obsessed about.
	By the way, even the Washington Post thinks he's an idiot.
	And Washington Post editorial board defended President Trump's ballroom construction, argued that the next Democratic president would be happy to have it.
	I mean, it's the United States of America.
	And they're putting, you know, they have these big dinners in tents in the backyard.
	It's ridiculous.
	And I think we ought to have a grand ballroom.
	I mean, no, he's you're not paying one penny for it.
	Not one taxpayer dime is being spent on this.
	And this is all in the midst of a government shutdown and about we're about to end snap programs for kids.
	And this is they care more about the ballroom and they're freaking out more about the ballroom.
	I saw Hakeem Jeffries get absolutely crushed on CBS.
	Maybe a sign of things changing over there.
	I don't know.
	About his claim that Trump is trying to rig the 2026 election.
	Do we have that cut?
	You said, Democrats, there are no election deniers on our side of the aisle.
	You said that back in January.
	But recently, you've been using the term rigged elections in reference to the upcoming midterms.
	Democrats were appalled when President Trump used language like that.
	How do you justify using that now?
	Doesn't that undermine faith for voters you need to show up?
	No, I've been using that term in the context of Donald Trump's unprecedented effort to gerrymander congressional maps in a partisan fashion all across the country in order to rig the midterm elections and deny the ability of the American people to actually decide who should be in the majority as it relates to the House of Legislative.
	You know, Democrats are also going through gerrymandering and redistricting.
	No, no, no.
	Well, Democrats are going to push back aggressively to make sure that we have fair maps across the country, not partisan gerrymandering, which Republicans have initiated in state after state after state.
	Okay.
	The masters of gerrymandering are the Democrats.
	They have perfected the art.
	And Republicans are only doing that which Democrats have been doing for decades.
	It's bizarre, but it's true.
	You know, Bernie Sanders, Grandpa Bernie, supporting the Maine Senate candidate amid this Nazi tattoo controversy and all the bizarre things.
	This candidate that also embraced Antifa, this guy Plattner's his name, who's trying to unseat Susan Collins.
	I don't think in the end, maybe Democrats will vote for this guy.
	I don't see the people of Maine ultimately voting for this guy.
	Look, Susan Collins is the only Republican in the House or the Senate, if you can believe that.
	And she's very well liked in her state.
	Now, does she always vote the way I want her to vote?
	No.
	But do I think she's as bad as Lisa Murkowski?
	I don't.
	Experts warn Democrats risk a backlash over their failure to condemn the rhetoric within their ranks.
	They're not going to stop.
	They're just not.
	They are unhinged.
	I mean, Donald Trump is taking out, you know, taking more space in people's heads than anybody knows.
	Now, we did get this weekend information, we'll play it later in the program, that both Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom are thinking of running.
	And, you know, Gavin Newsom, you know, under fire for comments that he made that he grew up, I guess, on Wonderbread and mac and cheese.
	Now, he did have a mixed upbringing in terms of, you know, his parents got divorced young, but he also, his father was, I guess, the attorney or had a high position with, you know, the Getty family.
	And according to reports I read today, got to go on these lavish vacations.
	But then whether his mother struggled, who he spent more of his time with, I guess that's partly.
	But I don't think he could actually say that it was a horrible background.
	Probably not idyllic in any way.
	He didn't like my post.
	He said, well, he didn't say the very nicest things to me.
	I invited him on the show to explain it.
	How come he never responds to me and he's begging Joe Rogan, Linda?
	I'm offering an hour of TV and three hours of radio.
	I don't get it.
	Why not?
	He's a French laundry.
	He's very busy drinking wine.
	He doesn't like me anymore.
	Sounds like he doesn't like me anymore.
	He never liked you.
	You don't think he ever liked me?
	A little bit?
	I'm pretty likable.
	Not even a little bit.
	I think he likes one thing.
	I don't dislike him.
	I do.
	I'd let him tell his whole life story uninterrupted.
	How's that?
	That's a fair offer.
	Oh, God.
