You know, it was really upsetting to see on Saturday this pro-Hamas, anti-Israel demonstration in Brooklyn.
And the reason it was so upsetting is because they were so disrespectful to the NYPD.
I mean, it was really, you know, nasty, nasty stuff.
And when I'm watching it, you know, it was a divided crowd.
The crowd estimate is 5,000.
I don't think there were that many.
And they were trying to block the streets, what they always do.
and I think that there were maybe half,
and nothing to do with Israel or Palestine or Gaza.
And they were the professional agitators.
So New York leads the league in this country,
London leads the world,
in professional agitators.
What are they?
There are people who want to destroy the existence.
government, church, society, where it may be.
I want to tear everything down.
Antifa, that's who they are.
I'm not saying that these people were associated with Antiva.
I'm just using that group as an example.
So these are destructive people, and they will come out
and taunt the police, throw things at the police,
try to get the police in trouble by provoking them
and then taping it, you know, that's just vile.
is vile. But they'll do it whether it's George Floyd, whether it's Israel, whether it's any cause
at all. They don't really care about the cause. They're anarchists and communists. When I was over
in Oxford visiting my son three weeks ago, what struck me in Oxford, which is a fairly under
control town, was all the posters for communists and socialist meetings. They're every
everywhere, all over the place.
You don't see that much here in the United States.
But there are, particularly under 40 years of age, a growing cadre of communists.
And they want to destroy our capitalistic system, what they want.
And there's a variety of ways.
They go about it, or some are nonviolent.
And if you're nonviolent, then you have the right to be a communist.
is not the 1950s. We're not trying to, you know, put you in a position of harm.
But if you are out there doing illegal things, and we'll tell you how many arrests there were
and all that, I'll show you a little video later on the broadcast. But New York is a hotbed
of this kind of stuff because it's the largest city in the country. And people who are on the
fringe, and these people certainly are, want to be with other people who are on the fringe,
like drug addicts. If you're a drug addict, you don't want to be with straight people. You want
to be with other drug addicts. If you are an alcoholic sitting at the bar, you want to sit
with other people drinking at the bar. Not guys like me, you don't drink at all. Right?
It's the same thing with the political stuff.
The Nazis go with the Nazis.
The communists go with the communists.
The white supremacist, whatever.
They group.
That's human nature.
So that's why you see whenever there is a controversy, New York always gets it the worst.
Now, the NYTPD was restrained.
I mean, they have to take an awful lot of garbage.
You know that.
People spitting at them.
cursing vile language and baiting them and you really have to be disciplined and be a police
officer these days but there is a line and you cross a line you get arrested but what does that
mean i mean the d a's outside of the one in statin island they're not going to prosecute you
for that spitting at a cop you believe you could spit in the face of a law enforcement officer
in new york city and nothing will happen to you can you
Can you believe that?
My grandfather's rolling over in his grave.
He was a New York City police officer.
And believe me, when he walked the beat in the 1920s, you spit in his face?
You're in the hospital.
I'm not saying I was right.
I'm saying that's the way it was.
So these demonstrations, when you step back and you look, these demonstrations, you look, these
These are professional activists.
They are anarchist, communists, tear the system down.
