Welcome to the No Spin News Weekend Edition. New York City. I live eight miles outside the city, so I'm not affected directly by ma'am Donnie. In fact, he did me a favor. My property is up 20% in estimated value since Zoran announced he wanted to be mayor. 20%. People getting out. Latest poll, Atlas, good poll, nailed the Obama, I'm sorry, the Trump Kamala Harris race. Exactly, Atlas is out of Brazil. Here's what they say, Zahm. and Danny, 41%.

Andrew Como, 34th, slewit, 24. Vote, of course, is tomorrow. And it's going to be the highest turnout in quite some time. and everybody's jazzed. Now, services in public safety are the two big things that if ma'am Donnie is elected are going to be right forefront. Services being going to pick up your garbage, they're going to clean up the city, traffic, congestion, pollution, I think it's all going to get worse.

Public safety, no doubt it's going to get worse because ma'am Donnie is soft on crime. doesn't want to punish the criminals. Joining us now is John Chil. This is a great booking we got here. Mr. Chell just retired a few weeks ago as Chief of Department for New York City Police Department. He was the highest-ranking uniformed officer in the department for the last couple of years.

He joins us from Staten Island. That's a pretty good lead in for you, Chief, right? Thank you, sir. Pretty good. Thank you. Are you moving out of here if Mandami wins? No, I'll be staying right here, just trying to do my part and support the city at best by Ken. But like you said, if he wins, the whole paradigm of public safety is going to shift to a social

network versus a law enforcement network. And, you know, in some places, that works a little bit in policing, but it really has the potential to hurt this whole city as it relates to public safety. Give me some specifics on what you see happening. Well, first look at his rhetoric. He's no fan of the police department by his own words. When you hear his rhetoric about he wants to maintain staffing levels. Well, what does that mean?

We're already down 1,000 cops. And about 3,800 change can leave in January. So he doesn't want to hire more cops and we need more cops. Look at his rhetoric as relates to crime. He's kind of nuanced. Well, I didn't say I don't want prostitution, but I want to decriminalize it. I didn't say I don't want to enforce misdemeanors, which those are those perception laws, right? But I don't want cops, folks on low-level offenses.

So he's sending signals out here that he wants more of a social network, and to pay for that, what about $1.8 billion into his community action teams, that's going to come from the police department budget. That's really going to hurt. Because, Bill, you know, this city's 24-7, 365. every minute something happens here. Well, I do know that, and I know a lot about policing, as you know. And what I see is that 911 calls will be delayed

because there just physically aren't going to be enough cops on the shifts to answer them as quickly as they need to be answered. The morale in a police department, setting up civilian review boards to Monday morning quarterback everything the cops do in the street. And these review boards, they don't like the police. They're anti-police. So before you left, Mandami was obviously in play. Generally speaking, how did the police see this?

Well, you just hit it. Morale is hurting. It's hurting because we're understaffed and we'll work too hard. And here's something you probably want to know, Bill. The cops won a great contract and they don't have one. But their biggest complaint of all, to all the unions, and I dealt with them every day, was the civilian complaint. was the civilian complaint re-reboard. If he gets his way, which is a valid issue for next year,

to have the civilian-compliant-reward be the final arbiter of complaints against cops, you will see a mass exodus. No cop is going to stay to let some 20-year-old kid who's not an investigator, pretending to be an investigator, who's going to adjudicate laws against the police department. That will be a backbreaker. Well, it puts the cops in danger because they can be silly. sued civilly. I mean, you can break them by filing a lawsuit and assault or whatever. But what we have been following is the assaults on police, physical assaults, people

punching them, kicking them, all of that. And those crimes have risen dramatically, or am I wrong? They're up about 40 percent, four zero percent from bear reform, and the conviction rate for a felony conviction for attacking a police officer is out of an abysmal 6%. Wow. This is why recidivism, as much as we brought crime down, because we have a 30% rising crimes in this bear reform.

So we're fighting this new platform of crime, about about $126,000,000 crimes a year, and we're getting it down, one, two, three, four percent because we suffer from recidivism. We suffer from lack of prosecution. Now, the ADAs, they inherited bare, reform from our state legislative. But another actor here was not doing their job with the judges. They're confusing their ideology for the law. The whole system is messed up here, Bill.

It's the DAs too, bragging, and particularly brag in Manhattan and Darcel Clark in Bronx. You know the case of the two NYPDs who were attacked on a subway platform in the Bronx on videotape. Both of them had to go to the hospital with three attackers. Two were arrested in charge. That case has been adjourned 20 times, two zero. That's in the, they don't want to prosecute Darcel Clark and the Bronx doesn't want to prosecute these thugs. They're out. They've been out. They haven't spent, I don't think they spent even an overnight in jail. Well, I'll tell you something else, Bill. Okay, first of all, think about, think about what happened. You're smoking a cigarette. Police officer asks you to distinguish the cigarette or leave.

and their response is to a full frontal attack. Yeah. You get arrested for assault two and a police officer. You go in front of a judge, and the judge lets them out. Now, five months later, Mr. McCleary gets locked up for an illegal gun. That's one of the guys charged. Yes. Yep, he's one of the two that's charged with assault two. He gets locked up for a gun and he's still out.

He's a two-time walking indictment walking around our streets. This is broken. Sure, but that's Albany and that's the legislature. It's not Mandami, but Mandami sympathizes with that. But what annoyed me on this case, other than the obvious travesty of a German 20 times, is that the police unions didn't stand up, all right? They didn't. They should be out there with signs in front of Clark's office.

They should be screaming and yelling. Nobody knows about the case. And these poor officers, and everybody and the cops know, they know they're not going to get a lot of support if they even get shot. And that's the final word. You've got a guy who's soft on crime and don't. There's no question he's soft on crime. You got a budget cutter who's going to take money away from the police.

You got 911 with the innocent people in New York who are set upon by dangerous criminals. That's their last line of defense. And that's going to collapse, I predict right now. Last word. It's a recipe for disaster. Response times are going to go higher. Calls for service are up 20%. And then if you're going to hamstring the cops,

they are not going to be proactive. They're going to be reactive. They're not going to take chances. And the collective effect is going to really hurt the city. We already came back from bail reform. from 2022 because we were stuck in COVID. I don't know if we can come back a second time. I don't know, Mandani, in four years, is going to do so much damage,

not only to the police, but to the social fabric of the city. It almost will be unrecognizable. Hey, Chief, we really appreciate it. Enjoy your retirement, and we'll talk again soon, I hope.

Great deal. You're listening to the NoSpin News Weekend Edition. In New York City, Mandami will probably win, but he's a communist. So how do I know that?

Because, you know, all alone, oh, 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 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, 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. Joining us now from the city, Miranda Devine, columnist from the New York Post. The Post has been 100% against Mamdani from the very beginning.

Ms. Devine has a very popular podcast, Pod Force One. She interviewed a lot of the Trump administration, including the president himself. All right, so look, it's all established that you and the, you know, newspaper, and you hate Mamdani, you don't want him, he's destructive, and all of that. There's an all adage that says you hope for the best, but you plan for the worst. You live in New York City, Miranda. Have you made any plans or adjustments of what you might do in your life? Should Mamdani become the mayor?

Not really. I mean, we've lived through de Blasio when the city visibly went downhill very quickly. And then, of course, the pandemic when it became like the night of the living dead with a whole lot of zombie drug affected mentally ill people wandering the streets and a whole lot of inmates released from Rikers Island. And then, of course, we had a whole bunch of illegal migrants placed in hotels all around Midtown. So it's been, you know, pretty willing for the last, well, almost since I arrived here back in early 2019. So I think that we're expecting if Mamdani wins, that things will go south slowly. I mean,

already the NYPD is a shadow of its former self. You can just tell from the fact that there are so many women, so many small police officers who just stand around reading their phones. Now, Jessica Tish, who's the very good NYPD commissioner after a series of upheavals, Mamdani was forced into saying that he would probably keep her on, which is one bright spot. She's not going to stay. Well, he knows that she's going to be his foe in the next election. So I don't think he's going to want to keep her on anyway, so I'm sure he'll make life miserable for her. And, you know, that's the last piece of good news that we have about keeping the NYPPD together.

And I must say under Eric Adams, things started to look up on the crime front. But, you know, Mamjani is on record. He's pretending now and that he didn't really mean it or he's changed his mind. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we know that he doesn't want to prosecute criminals because he believes society is at fault not them but you say you haven't made any plans or thought about so i tell my family members who live in new york city and i said look uh if this guy comes in within six months you're going to have a frightening rise of street crime because the people committing the street crime aren't even going to be arrested i wouldn't be surprised if the 911 system collapses because there's not enough police now and the police that are going to stay

many of them will leave, are going to be reactive. They're not going to be aggressive. They're not going to be running out there as fast as they can run out there. Because he's going to have civilian review boards that are anti-police. And if a cop makes a mistake, all right, defends himself or herself, he's right in front of the board. And you can sue the cops if you're a thug or anybody. Who's going to do that? No one.

So I'm telling my family members, look, you're going to go out. out at night, you're going to have to go out three or four. You can't go out by yourself. That's number one that's going to happen. Number two, the garbage isn't going to be picked up. Union people are just going to go, you know, every bit of efficiency, and the city is not efficient, okay, is going to go down because this 34-year-old, he doesn't have the organizational capacity to keep it up. It's the largest city in the country, eight and a half million people, all right? And you know it's going to get it worse, the poor. The people who are voting for Mandani are going to get it the worst. They're not actually voting for him. They're

voting for Cuomo. Well, you're going to see. Women and young people who are voting for Mamdani. You're going to see immigrants, people born overseas, which is now 50% of the New York City electorate vote for Mandani. You'll see any exit polling. Okay. They're going to get it the Muslims will, yes, because he's gone out by that vote. As a New York Post columnist, and your beat is the city, do you believe that the people voting for Mamdani are stupid? No, I'll tell you the way I see it. First of all, he's got the Muslim vote locked up

because he's appealed to them specifically on identity grounds. He's gone to mosques and cuddled up with this radical, Imam who gave character testimony to the blind sheikh, who was the mastermind of the First World Trade Centre bombing. He's made no, he's not even bothered hiding his affinity with radical Islam. So that's number one. And then you've got young people. And I mean, in a way, I can forgive them for their stupidity because, you know, they haven't been taught in history. They haven't read your books. They haven't, they've gone to university and been brainwashed. And not only that, as Democrat voters, they have been betrayed. And I don't really blame them for

being angry. They look at Washington, D.C. They were lied to about Joe Biden. They see a gerontocracy has taken over their party establishment. And so it's just natural for them to feel they've been priced out, they have this pied piper, Mamdani comes along and says to them, you know, sort of taps into their grievance about the party and says, follow me and I will make your life affordable. And he makes these airy promises. There's no way he can fulfill any of them, but they're angry with the establishment, so they're going to go with a generational part. And then you've got just the crazy, rich, liberal elite, including a lot of Jews, which is, as someone said, it's like chickens voting for KFC, but they, you know, are going to vote.

The polls show we've seen interviews with them. I've talked to them. They love Mamdani, and they see him as sort of the antidote to Donald Trump and a reinvigoration of the Democratic Party in the way of the future. Do you see, and that's a very good analysis you just gave the rest of the nation that doesn't live here, Do you see an anti-Trump vote in the New York mayoral situation? Yes, certainly in that liberal boomer demographic, the wealthy elites. You know, Trump derangement is very strong here in New York.

And there's a big cohort of conservative voters. And Donald Trump increased his vote last election. And I mean, every county has turned a little red. And to the point where Elise Stefarnik, who seems to be running for governor, she may have a chance where Lee Zeldon did not. But still, the majority, I mean, Manhattan or New York City is something like 70% plus Democrat voters. And I would say, you know, and more than half of those are Trump deranged. Yeah, and the younger ones, of course. All right, Miranda, thank you very much.

Nice segment. We appreciate you taking a time. I hope we can talk again soon. Attention podcast, people. I'm Harry Cole, and I'm invited you to something properly different.

This is the No Spin News Weekend Edition. So exit polling, here's who voted for Mandani by race. 46% of white New Yorkers, 55% of black, 49% Latino, 61% of Asian. Now, Asian is South Asian. And you look at the Cuomo, so Mendani beat them in every category, white, black, Latino, and Asian. Asian number was huge. A lot of Asians in New York City, and they vote. vote. Religion. Protestant, 42% voted for Mam Dani. Catholic 33. Jewish, 33% in New York Jews

voted for Mam Domi. He doesn't like Jews at all. It's a matter with you, people. I don't know. I don't know what's a matter with people. And if you're an atheist, 75%, because communism is atheism. okay there you go um age 18 to 29 78 cent mandani then it goes down 30 to 44 66 percent 45 64 43 over 65 36 the wisdom of age um so we have a situation where know how quickly New York is going to deteriorate. I do know many people are going to move out because I know them. And real estate projects will stop. That means jobs will decline. Tax receipts to the city will decline. All of that is inevitable. Violent crime will rise and I don't see anything good on the horizon. I get

he'll get the free bus rides, I don't know. But then you'll have the homeless people sleeping on the buses 24-7. And that's the memo. And that's the stats, and that's the best analysis you're going to hear. If it isn't, Bill at Bill O'Reilly.com, let me have it. Let me have it. Joining us now for New York City, Doug Schoen, who's now Floridian, Shone left us here in New York. defend for ourselves, but he's our go-to guy on political strategies, the author of the book The Politics of Life, you might want to check that out. Am I making any mistakes in my analysis? Anything you quibble with?

You know, Bill, I was listening, hoping that I'd have some disagreement. But you're fundamentally right. And I say this not to be a flatterer, but to just recognize the obvious. Trump has emphasized issues other than inflation and the economy and prices to his detriment. You're exactly right. It is that simple. With all the emphasis on immigration, he's actually succeeded in stopping illegal immigration. He has not succeeded in bringing down inflation far enough or prices enough.

That's number one. Number two, you're right about the shutdown. The incumbent party gets blamed. Trump was blamed. In my assessment of New Jersey is they were more concerned with Trump and the shutdown and affordability than they were with local issues. That means the Democratic campaign succeeded by being anti-Trump and pinning the economic malaise of the country on him and the Republicans. There is no democratic agenda. There is no democratic alternative.

and Mandami is a huge risk to the Democratic Party. So I agree with your assessment about where we stand, but Trump and the White House have to take this as a wake-up call. If they don't, they will be in serious trouble. You know, the inflation number is not bad. It's the high prices for the essentials of life that's driving people's disenchantment and anger. So, for example, gasoline prices,

where I live are down. They're below $3 a gallon now. But utilities are killing you. And you go to the grocery store and a restaurant. It's insane now. It's insane. All right. And people here tariff this. They don't know what the tariff is. We explained it last night, but tariffs are not real to people. And people vote what's real, what they can see and feel. Now, one of the criticism I've had of the Trump administration is their messaging is not precise enough. We know what he's doing. We don't know why he's doing it. And they don't back up a lot of stuff.

For example, the ice raves. After every controversial raid, there should be an explanation. Here's what we did. This is why we did it. Here's who got thrown to the ground. We made a mistake or we didn't make a mistake. But none of that seems to be coming forth. So it's easy.

It's easy for people on offense about Trump, not the MAGA people or the Trump haters, but the people in the middle. To take a negative view if you don't get precise messaging. That's where I think the big weakness is. You know, again, Bill, at the risk of having to agree with you, what political communication is about is outcomes. That is, what's in it for me? How are we going to benefit from these raids? But most important, how are we going to benefit at the grocery store, the gas station, at the bill paying each month for utilities? Why are the tariffs and the other economic policies going to benefit consumers?

We don't have an answer to that. Well, yeah, it's too early, though, for the tariffs. And then you get the Supreme Court now. But you can explain what you're trying to do is you correct. They got to explain how those tariffs. And he has to some extent. But it's all him. It's 100% Trump.

And he is available. And he is accessible. And he does go out and do the gaggle with the press and all that. But he doesn't have the follow-up needed in the department area, Homeland Security area, agriculture, whatever. Look, Trump can. control wages and prices. The executive branch can't do that. You can do that in socialism and communism, and you can't do it in capitalism. So he's got to have a plan and say,

this is how I'm going to bring down a price of meat. But I haven't heard a plan of you. Nor have I. And again, politicians want to know, I'm sorry, voters want to know that politicians are on their side. They believe Trump is forceful and zealous, they just do not get the logic and the outcomes that he is seeking. You're right. Tariffs are complicated. But what is going to be the end result in his terms and in the administration's terms? We don't know. Well, we haven't seen. The end result is more jobs in the manufacturing sector that pay higher wages. And if you're a sophisticated person, you understand, that's what could happen. Could. But that hasn't happened yet.

because it's only been 10 months. Now, the final area is Trump's legacy. This is everything to him, everything. If he loses the midterms, the Republicans lose one of both houses. He's shot. He can't do executive order after executive order after executive order. Every single one I'm going to be thrown into the courts. We don't know how the courts are going to rule on tariffs.

I do believe they're going to give the president some wide discretion. on the tariffs, but not everything he wants. They'll pull him back a little bit. We went over that yesterday with the law of 1974, which explicitly says the president can balance the flow of money out of here. He has the authority to do this, a national security issue. But it hasn't been portrayed as a national security issue. But it is.

This is what I mean. But if Trump gets waxed and the Republicans lose, in 26, pretty much all over for him, right? Absolutely. And the other thing you didn't mention, Bill, knowing the Democrats, and their absence of a message, there will be more investigations of Trump, the Trump family, and the Trump administration.

I don't think that's going to, I don't think that'll be a factor. Americans are numb to that. They know the game. It will tie things up, Bill, to just finish my point. It'll tie things up and distract from what the people really care about, which is, what are you going to do, Mr. President, to make my life better? You know, like the ballroom thing is not a big issue for me, privately funded. He wants a big ballroom. He wants to have the best facility in the world for the federal government.

I don't object to that, but it's a diversion, as you're saying. That's what I'm saying. Right. And people, people go, oh, what do we need to? this big ballroom when I'm playing this much money for bacon, and I'm buying cereal, and half the box isn't there. That's the biggest con in the world, whereas you buy the food, and there's a fourth less food in the box, so they can. And they've been doing that, and nobody addresses that. Correct. So anyway, I can't handicap the midterms at this point, because I said too

much change in the air. Can you handicap it? I can tell you now that the Democrats have a slight advantage. In 2018, they were plus 10. At this point, they're plus two, which means exactly what you said in your talking points, Bill, is right. This is up for grabs, but unless Trump and the Republicans take the clear message of yesterday to heart, it will go in the wrong direction. If they do listen and they are able to perform and communicate, it will be a very different outcome than the first midterm election. All right, Doug. Always appreciate it.
