The Zara and Man Donnie, who's a talk of New York City. Wherever I go in the city, everybody knows me. That's a good thing. You know, I'm a local boy. What about me and Donnie? What about that man, Danny? Can I tell you? You know, the guy, there's not a lot of subterfuge there.

He's a socialist, communist. That's what he is. So expect the worst. He's going to Washington, Zoron, tomorrow to talk to Trump. Here's what you need to know about this. Mandami has no power at all with the federal government. None. No card to play, no negotiation, nothing.

He's basically trying to get President Trump not to hurt him. That's it. So nothing Mende can do for Trump. Now, there are two big issues here. The first one is Mbani has publicly stated he's not going to cooperate with ICE with trying to find undocumented people in this country who are dangerous. That's what ICE is trying to do. Yeah, they do round up people who are not dangerous,

but it is always in conjunction with the seeking of criminals. I have to understand that. All right. So, here's what Mandani has publicly said. Go. I wanted to ensure that no officers are assisting with the actions of ICE.

And what you did see play out a couple weeks ago, what is your response to Tom Homan, who yesterday said, we'll be back? Yeah, I will tell Tom Homan, what I will tell anyone who asks, which is the fact that I am looking forward to representing the entirety of this city. And this city is also an immigrant city. It's a city that's proud of its immigrants' heritage. It's proud of the fact that so many from across the world find their home in this city. And we will protect those New Yorkers as we protect every New Yorker.

Okay. Well, you won't because you have no power to do that. Now, I don't know if Trump is going to be as blunt as I am. I suspect he might be because there's another issue. And that is Netanyahu, okay, the leader of Israel. Mandani says if he shows up in New York, United Nations function or something, Nandani's gonna order the NYPD to arrest him. Roll the tape. You said you would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu

based on the 2024 international court arrest warrant. Next UN General Assembly, as mayor, would you do that? So I've said time and again that I believe this is that I believe this is a city of international law. And being a city of international law means looking to uphold international law. And that means upholding the warrants from the international criminal court, whether they're for Benjamin Netanyahu or Vladimir Putin. I think that that's critically important to showcase our values.

New York City is not a city of international law. This is insane. It's a city of American law. And the United States does not recognize the international criminal court. Now, I don't, again, I'd love to be in his bank. So if I'm Trump, I'm looking at Mandani, and I'm saying, listen, Mr. Mayor, with all due respect, we don't recognize the international court. Our cities are under federal and state laws, not international law. And if you try to arrest not only Netanyahu, but Putin or anybody else, I'm going to have the FBI arrest.

you. You. Because you're violating federal law. That's why Putin can go to Alaska. All right? We don't recognize that he's a war criminally. He is, but officially we're not involved with the international court. We don't do that. So I don't think Mandani understands any of this, And I'm not sure how tough President Trump wants to be on the man. Because here's the kicker on it. If Mandami gets out a line and the alienates Trump, Trump will stop all the federal money from coming in here. Yeah, there'll be litigation on it because Congress is the one

that designates the money for block grants to cities. But Trump can hold that money up for a long time. And he may win the litigation if Mandami violates federal law. Let's face it, the U.S. economy is under stress. National debt rising, trade war, shaking the markets. And meanwhile, China is dumping the dollar and stockpiling gold. That's why I protected my savings with physical gold and silver. Theroux, the only dealer I trust, American Hartford Gold.

And you can do this. Get precious metals delivered to your door. Or place in a tax advantage, gold IRA. They'll even help you roll over your existing IRA or 401K, tax and penalty-free. With billions and precious metals delivered thousands of five-star reviews and an A-plus from the Better Business Bureau, you can trust American Hartford Gold as I do. Please call 866-326-55-7576 or text bill to 99-8899. Again, that's 866-326-5576-5576 or text bill to 998899.

Canada can be a global leader in reducing the harm caused by smoking, but it requires actionable steps. Now is the time to modernize Canadian laws so that adult smokers have information and access to better alternatives. By doing so, we can create lasting change. don't smoke, don't start. If you smoke, quit. If you don't quit, change. Visit unsmoke.ca. And Mandani himself, you know, it's a fine line at these guys walk about he talks. But if he did anything to interfere with ice and Holman correctly, as was stated, says there's going to be some ICE operations in New York City, some big ones coming up, then Donnie interferes with that and you'll be arrested.

Now, man, Donnie might want that. Keep that in mind. He might want that. Get some worldwide headlines and attention. Look, if, man, Donnie is a disaster in New York, and I don't know even if he'll try to do anything, he might just sit there. I don't know.

But if he's a disaster, that is going to hurt the Democratic Party and the progressive left big time and lead to the defeat of New York Governor Hokel. That's what that will do. But we don't know how bad this man is going to be. We will know in, I don't know, six months. So there are a lot of things that are undefined. Now, Zoran, he's.

He was such a better candidate than Cuomo. It was like the L.A. Dodgers playing the Pittsburgh Pirates. Sorry, Pittsburgh Pirates. It was just no. Man, Donny was a very good campaigner. Smiling guy. Hi, how are you? I'm going to give you everything.

I'm threatening. And Cuomo, okay. So that meant a lot. That meant a lot. Just people who are uninformed and the younger people. I'm going to give you the numbers in a moment. But the big thing was that up to 50% and we don't have the stat. We should have it, but we don't.

You're 5 million registered voters in New York City. Five million. Most states don't have 5 million people. Well, I shouldn't say that. A lot of states don't. Half didn't show up. Half of the voters in New York City didn't show up because they don't care. Who's running a show? Right? And there was a big turnout for the mayor oil race, more than two million. But when half don't show up, anybody can win. And many of those who voted in New York City are born overseas. Now, this is going to sound like a slight. I'm sure that.

internet smear merchants, gutters, snipes, will pick it up. Traditional American values are still embraced by most indigenous Americans who were born here and whose family passed down the values of self-reliance, competition, freedom. You born overseas, you have a totally different value system. You may want our values, but you are raised in a different culture, where things happen differently. When you have an enormous amount of foreign voters, as you do in Los Angeles and New York City, you're not going to have the same kind of vote you had 20 years ago. That flooding the zone with immigrants has worked for the Democratic Party.

I didn't know whether it would, but it has. It's altered everything. And it's not that these are bad people. they're here legally. They can vote legally. They work much harder, in my experience, than people born here. I'm generalizing, of course, but their culture is different. And that means a lot. In New York City, Mandami will probably win, but he's a communist. So how do I know that? Because, you know, all alone, no, he's not a communist. He is a communist. Now, I was going to run a soundbite, but I'm not going to run a soundbite, but I'm not going to run. run it. I'm going to quote it. Okay. So this is Mandani in 2021 at the Young Democratic Socialists of America Conference. Here's what he said. He said right now, there's a quote. If we're talking about issues that have groundswell of popular support across the country, there are issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, okay, BDS is boycott, divestment, and sanctions against

Israel, okay, or whether it's the end goal of seizing the means of production, unquote, seizing the means of production. That is a communist tenant. I usually ask potential criminals to have a seat, but now I'm asking you to join me. Chris Hansen, for my new series, have a seat with Chris Hansen. Guests each week are fascinating personalities who are grabbing headlines, making waves or changing our lives for the better. Have a seat with Chris Hansen available wherever you get your podcasts. Seizing by force, because regular folks like me are not going to give you my house. So you have to take it. And guys with guns would have to come. That's communism. That's what happened in China with Mao Zetong, in Russia, with Stalin.

in Cuba with Castro. If you read Confronting Evil, it's a big part of the book, how these communist totalitarians murdered millions, tens of millions of people to seize the means of production. This is what this guy, Mandani, is quoting. Yet he may be the next mayor of New York City. Frighting, yes, it is. So, in conjunction, um, with confronting evil, my book, I went on News Nation last night. Now, there are evil people, this thoroughly evil, Putin, Ayatollah, Mao, Hitler. They're on the cover, and there are 11 others in the book. But there are also evil acts that we commit, all right?

Human beings commit. It doesn't mean we're evil 100%, but we do evil things. And I submitted last night on News Nation, it made all the social media and all of that stuff, that voting for a man named Mandami is an evil act. Why? Because Mandami himself has said the following. A, wants to cut a billion dollars out of the New York City Police budget. That would allow violent crime to spike surge and people would die.

Lots of people. B, that the New York City police is racist. That means that the cops are going to quit. get other jobs, gone, okay? In addition to the $1 billion cut. And the third thing is he doesn't want to incarcerate criminals. He doesn't believe in incarceration, ma'am Donnie. So you put that all together and if he is the mayor, I would say thousands of people over a four-year people will die. And you're voting for that. Is that not an evil act? Man Donnie, more hysteria. So he goes down to Washington, he meets with Trump, 35 minutes, 25 minutes.

They're waving at everybody. He seemed to get along. Here's what the president said. What we did is we discuss crime. More than ICE per se, we discuss crime. And he doesn't want to see crime, and I don't want to see crime. And I have very little doubt that we're not going to get along on that issue. Well, I hate to disappoint you, Mr. President, but you're not going to get along on that issue.

because Mandami does not want to put criminals in prison. Period. And I got a story coming up. I just prove it again and again and again and again. But this is really, I wrote a column yesterday, Bill O'Reilly.com called The Stunt Factor. This is literally kind of a stunt, political stunt. And Trump did it to annoy his far-left critics.

I hope you read a column. I hope you read a column, but there's nothing to this. It's not a serious thing. It's not going to be an easy time between Mandani and Trump. First time Mandani impedes a nice investigation. Boom. No more federal money will stop. Wait and see.

I'm watching Mandani because he's a pretty interesting character with 34 years old. And you're going to be in the next mayor for four years unless catastrophe comes in. We don't know what his inauguration is going to be like. And it's coming up in less than a month. Nobody knows anything about it. No details. Come on. Zorant, get on it.

What are you going to do? I'd like to know if he's going to live in Gracie Mansion on the east side of Manhattan. And Randotti says he doesn't know. I find that very hard to believe. He's going to live there. You wait and see. He's going in there, that socialist, communist, he's going into that Gracie Mansion. Okay, power to the people, right on.

But Mandami says, I'm not yet at a decision point. Ooh. But I do appreciate Gracie Mansion. Been there a few times visiting Mayor Adams. Okay. Mandani currently lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in a story of Queens. Tell me he's not going to go to Gracie, man.

Yeah, he did. Now, he's also says, the mayor-elect, that he's in touch with Donald Trump. Good. But you've got to know if you do anything kooky, or if there's violence against federal agents

or federal property, Mr. Mayor-elect, that President Trump's going to send in federal forces. You've got to know that. And he's going to stop a lot of federal aid, so you better behave. And, yeah, it's a threat. I'll make it.

I mean, Trump hasn't made it. He hasn't a roundabout way. But, man, that we've got to watch it. He does have to watch it because the president's not in any mood for communist antics in New York. As predicted, Jessica Tisch will remain police commissioner under mayor, ma'am, Donnie. And I knew that would happen. And the reason I knew it would happen, and I said it,

let's see, about a month ago, even before the election, because I knew Mandani was going to win, too. I said Tish will stay. She likes a job. And I have very, very good contacts within the New York City Police Department. And I, you know, occasionally say, oh, what's going on? And everybody's talking about whether Tish was going to go or not, the main reason that some believe she would not stay, because she's done a good job. And the cops like her, the public likes her, she very well organized, very dedicated, and excellent, I think, police commissioner.

The reason she stayed was that she enjoys getting up in the morning. And she thinks she's doing a lot of good, which she is. Now, the plus is that maybe this will help tamp down Mandani's radicalism toward the COPS and his, you know, alleged anti-Semitism. I use that word because I can't see it to people's hearts, but he certainly doesn't come across as a supporter of the Jewish people. So maybe that'll tamp it down a little. The downside is that it's going to come a time where Mandani is going to really go after the cops. First time somebody's beaten up or there's some overreaction or something like that, Mandani's going to grandstand it.

Titch's going to be standing there with him. It's not going to be easy for her. So I hope it works out for the sake of public, you know, we want everybody to be safe in the city.
