New York City Mayor Zoramandani just issued a shocking announcement, but there's only one problem. Let's take a look. New York City Mayor Zohramamandani is making a staggering announcement about the aftermath of 9-11 ahead of Friday's anniversary. He says the city is releasing more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records and allegedly show city officials at the time knew that air quality near ground zero was far more dangerous than they let on. 9-11 families joined Mom Dani for this announcement along with comedian. John Stewart, who has been one of the most outspoken advocates for transparency and resources for 9-11 first responders and survivors. So this announcement from Mondani just shows you that he's not a political lightweight.

His team knows exactly what they're doing. And how to me and you both know that? Notice the timing of this announcement. Why wait till days before 9-11 to even focus on this? Why not release it in the first week of your current administration just to show good faith that you're serious about this? I think we know where this is going. Now, I'm not attacking the merits of this report being released and how authorities who were

involved in covering up the air quality should be held accountable. I'm not at all. In fact, I support that. But it would be naive of me not to mention the timing on this. Now, what did the mayor particularly have to say? Take a look. I'm proud to be the mayor of the city. I love this city.

I love this country. And what I want this week to be a focus on is on the families whose loved ones were stolen from them 25 years ago in the horrific act of terror of September 11th. And a focus also on the first responders will get everything they could to this city and to the people who came together to try and help their fellow New Yorkers. And so in the days to come, my focus will be on attending events that memorializes that incredible courage. And I will be there on Friday at the memorial just as I was last year. Did you see Giuliani's comments and did you have any thoughts on it? I don't have much more to add. We're going to get to the former mayor's comments that is Rudy Giuliani.

I just want to say this for the record. We know already most people have advised him to not attend this 9-11 event because of his, I would say, indifference in regards to the Muslim community, in regards to people who have obviously attacked Jews in that city, and his overall response to this radical climate that New York City finds itself in today. Across the nation, the pain of the attack still runs deep. And in New York City, controversy. is growing. More than 101,000 citizens in the city are petitioning Mayor Zoran Mamdani to stay away

from Friday's ground zero ceremonies. Yeah, that petition number supports my claim that, you know, this is a different environment for the mayor. And again, I don't think it's a bad idea for him to sit out. I think him showing up is only going to make things worse, especially when you have the former mayor, Rudy Giuliani, saying this to Newsmax yesterday. What do you think, Should Mamdani skip the ceremony? What do you think? Well, there's no question he should. I mean, the reality is this ceremony is for the families

and for America to remember historically. And frankly, whatever he'd like to say, he doesn't agree that September 11 was an Islamic terrorist attack on the United States of America. One that is in terms of a war or effort continuing today, and maybe even worse today. So having lost friends there and being very close to many of the families, it offends me that he's coming.

This is not a place for people like the Arab princeling who gave me $10 million so that he could say this was caused by American and Israeli foreign policy. From day one, I've taken a very strong position against that, I knew that would be the propaganda the Islamic extremists would use. Yeah, so I think Rudy represents what a lot of New Yorkers out there believe. I'm not a New Yorker, so I can't really speak for them and truly get in their shoes and understand all of the emotions this week. But I will take a step back and just go over what America is facing this week.

You have the assassination or the anniversary of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. You've got 9-11. I mean, God, I mean, what type of week is this? And then you have the GOP convention, as you guys know, in week one of the NFL. I mean, there's a lot going on on the internet to say the lease. But as you guys know, I'm optimistic. And if it was me, I would probably tell the mayor to set this one out. I understand why the office of the mayor should attend.

But given the climate, I think he should respect people's wishes if he wants to earn their respect. I think he should be looking to earn New Yorkers' respect and not walk around like it's implied. But at any way, let's go to Mr. Stewart because he spoke at this press conference as well. Take a listen. What we all knew who live in downtown Manhattan is that there was poison in the air and on the ground and in the windowsills and in your air conditioners and covering your pets and your clothes. and it stayed there for months. Everyone knew. And now it's very clear that the city knew as well.

And rather than take the steps to ameliorate the damage that that would cause to its citizens and to the people that were down there, they instead covered it up to get back to business as usual. Now, to John Stewart's point there, I do want to bring up this movie. It's one of the favorite movies from Michael Keaton, which I'm a big fan of. And it's called Worth.

And it actually gets into some of the things that is in this report regarding the air quality and how it's covered up. And, you know, a lot of times people only focus on the people who died in the towers, which is understandable. But hundreds of thousands of people died outside of the towers over a series of years. And this movie pretty much sums up how the insurance companies ultimately, had to put a dollar figure on everyone who had passed away as a result of this terror attack. It's a phenomenal movie. Anyways, I just thought it was interesting to point that out. So listen, I don't have any beef with this report being released.

I just want to highlight the timing of the report and the current climate in New York City as relates to the mayor. And I don't think this is really going to change things for him, sort of speak. But I guess there's more to this. Take a look. Not only did city officials know at the time that the air near ground zero was toxic in the aftermath of the September 11 attacks, but they took proactive steps to reassure the public that it was safe, that the air was clean, and that it was okay to be near the ground zero area in the days after the attack. In fact, the documents show that it was by October, so nearly a month after the attacks,

that the city had collected enough information showing that the air was tough. toxic. Now, for so many years, there's been a push here to have these documents released. There is a lawsuit at the heart of this that has been settled as a result of the documents release today. And we know that many more people have died from 9-11 related illnesses since the attacks. More people have died than those who were killed on that day. It is a staggering number to think about just how many people have been sickened. Yeah, I'm not surprised. that this took place in New York City and people covered it up because that's the government for you. That's the insurance companies for you. And I have that opinion because I watched that movie.

I just referred you guys to Worth. I mean, it clearly articulates how bad it was as far as the reaction, as far as how they priced the insurance claims. Let's not even get into them bailing out the airlines. I mean, it's really fascinating what the federal government will end up doing in the end every single time, which is they will essentially bail out the institutions at the expense of the American people. They did it with 9-11. They did it with the financial crisis in 2009. And, I mean, in some aspects, you saw it even during COVID.

But anyways, so on one hand, this is a great report to release, have no problem with it. On the other hand, I have a problem with the timing. I think it continues to show that this is not an authentic choice from the mayor. It's more of a political one. And if he really cared about it, he would have released it within the first week of taking over New York City. And he didn't do that. And I think that is the bottom line to it all. But let's go to our next update.

And this is a stunner. So the lawyer for Lindsay Clancy is now invoking President Trump's name for this reason. Next for Lindsay. I'd like to say that perhaps Donald Trump, who felt compelled to speak out about this case, may very well, Mr. President. I would hope that you would consider this young lady, the type of person she is, what she's been through, and consider a party. Talk a little bit more about your client.

What was her reaction when the mistrial decision came in? Well, anybody that knows Lindsay knows her background. She's a very, very intelligent, hardworking theme in the trial, the people that knew her. She was a labor and delivery nurse, well respected in Mass General Hospital for about nine years. just a wonderful neighbor, friend, wife, mother, just an incredible person. All right. Now, before we continue, I'd love to share a message from our sponsor today chapter, if you guys don't mind.

This is our independent Medicare advisor. So if you're turning 65 or helping somebody who is, please listen to the following. People are working, providing for their family. They do not have time that become a Medicare expert on top of all of that, and nobody should have to. Take Nova, for example. She signed up a year ago. Every month since, an extra $40 comes out.

Nobody told her why. When she asked, they said it's because she didn't sign up when she was supposed to. Her words, by the way, quote, I'm being punished for that. So she called my friends at Chapter, the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide. In minutes, they told her exactly what the extra cost was and sent her the form for a program that would help her pay it. So call Chapter today, 323, 431, 5200. Again, that number is 3, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3,000, 5, and so, 0,000. Get it right the first time.

So in case you missed it at the very beginning, he clearly asked President Trump publicly during this interview for a full pardon in regards to Lindsay Clancy's situation. Now, number one, I think this lawyer is definitely selfish. I think he's capitalizing on the moment. I have a hard time believing in my heart of hearts that he truly sees her as a daughter. I don't know him personally.

Maybe if I did, I could, maybe reason with that. But I don't trust lawyers to begin with. I don't think anybody does for obvious reasons. So I think this is, he's using this to not only capitalize on the attention, when you're invoking President Trump's name, you know people are going to pay attention, which is why we're talking about it now. And furthermore, him going on about how she's a wonderful person, notice he makes no room for the three children that she murdered. And that's the thing that just never sits right with me. But here's more. of what he had to say.

And you say she's like a daughter to you. What do you want people to know about her? And what did she say to you after the trial? Yeah, we, I do feel a very strong bond with Lindsay because of the type of person she is. You have to understand that, for example, when she was at Mass General, she was, the people, the nurses just were coming forward to testify for her as to her character. When she was all beat up and injured and in the Brighamese, and the Brighamie, the woman, the the Brigham a woman's hospital, one of the chaplain got to know her and literally visited,

and to this day is still visiting with her for three years, three and a half years. Dr. Seizel, three and a half years later, all these people continue to visit with her just because she's such a wonderful, wonderful person. Listen, you guys know I love to use the logic of people I disagree with. So let's just use the logic of this lawyer. Let's say she is a wonderful person. what does that got to do with her murdering her three children? You see, I think he would have lost this case if it was in a different state.

I already went over the Massachusetts law. The burden was on the prosecution to prove that she was sane, that she knew the difference between right and wrong in that moment. The burden was not, which is in most cases, on the defense to prove that she was insane, and she didn't know the difference between right and wrong in that moment. You guys see the difference there? It's literally the reverse. So I think the law worked in his favor and obviously shout out to that juror that had some level of common sense and knew that the law was flawed in regards to this case.

I mean, at the end of the day, where is the accountability for the three children? That's my question for the lawyer. Do they not get any justice whatsoever? Because this isn't an accident, by the way. This was murder. All right. Let's hear what CNN's legal reaction is to this lawyer asking President Trump for a party. So he's asking the president of the United States to issue a pardon.

But John, there's been no conviction. And first of all, this is a state level. Yeah, that attorney should know that. He wasn't allowed to explain his answer, wasn't asked a question after that. But what he did say was that hopefully in regard to district attorney crews, we will be able to work out something acceptable to both sides. So what does that tell us? He doesn't want to retrial. And that's called a plea deal right there.

Prosecutors are not in a plea. deal is a negotiation, right? So conceivably, in trial, we had first degree, second degree, we had manslaughter, which many thought would be a compromise with the jury potentially, and then we had not guilty on several levels. So he's pleading on the public steps, right, to the district attorney, it appears. But as far as a pardon, that's only to someone who is convicted. And as you said, it's only the federal level the president can handle. We have to understand the limits of the pardon power. Just see Tina, Peters, who was locked up in prison in the state of Colorado for what happened during the

20-20 election, or what happened after it, rather. Point is that the president had issued her full pardon, but the state level, because she was prosecuted with state crimes, she was not released immediately. It doesn't work that way. And so theoretically, you know, this isn't a case from the federal government. So again, that's a great point. Why did the, I think he's doing it for attention. I think he knows he's not going to get a part in.

Okay, it doesn't matter. But he's bringing more attention to the case. I think to raise his profile because, you know, and this is my own personal opinion. I mean, him doing that makes me believe he's selfish. Okay. I could be wrong. But that is the way that I see it. Now, in regards to a potential plea deal, as you guys just heard, what would that exactly look like?

Let's take a listen. I mean, ultimately, a plea agreement means a conviction. Yes, yes. Sarah, what a plea agreement means is that you're admitting responsibility. And in admitting responsibility, that would mean it'd be something called an allocution. What is that? It means you go into the courtroom and you say, are you pleading guilty because you are guilty, right? And then the judge will ask specifically, what are you guilty of? Now, it would depend upon what the plea deal is, right? We're not there yet. Just the indication that it would be entertained. But let's look and remember this was 11 to 1, we believe. split on the side of the defendant believing that there was some insanity here. What that means to me is there would be a lot of leverage going into these plea discussions because at the end of the day, a jury heard the evidence and the facts and did believe that there was an insanity component. She did not appreciate the wrongfulness of her conduct.

Eleven of the jurors believe that and one did not, which is why we're in this hung jury situation. All right. Now, having said that, let me recap both stories for you and kind of tell you. where I'm at personally. As relates to what's going on in New York City, I think it's nothing new. We've been covering it probably more than anybody else on YouTube in regards to Mondani's administration, which in my opinion has been somewhat of a disaster, especially some of the relationships he's already burned, whether that's with the Jewish community, whether that is with real estate developers or even property owners. It just seems to me, even the owners of bodegas. I mean, he's not really

doing a good job connecting people and unifying the city. So attending this 9-11 ceremony, in my opinion, would just make things worse and continuing to kind of throw salt on that wound. And I guess the other side of it, to be fair, the office of the mayor for New York City should attend a event like this. This is historic. He attempts to try to operate in good faith by releasing this report. I already told you guys, I think the timing calls into question. his sincerity around this, so I'm not really buying it. He could have released this report at the beginning of his administration. He didn't do so. He waited until days before 9-11. Then he trots out John Stewart to have other people speak on his behalf. I'm not really buying it. I think I'm smarter than

that, and I think you guys are smarter than that. So in the end, will this help the mayor? No. In the end, will this help New Yorkers? No, I don't think so either. Will anybody truly be held accountable? No, They haven't been held accountable for decades. What's going to change now? And this wasn't a campaign promise from him either. So we'll have to let the result to do more of the talking and not the rhetoric. And then as it relates to Lindsay Clancy, guys, we live in a country today where there's clearly a double standard with women as it relates to men. And when these individuals end up murdering their children because of a mental psychosis, right?

Or PTSD. I can give the countless names of men doing exactly what Lindsay Clancy did. but they got the death penalty or they went to prison for life. And what did she get in the end? Not only was her case based on insanity, but she wasn't even found guilty or not guilty. It was a hung trial or a hung jury. So, you know, it just shows you the difference of perceptions and standards we have of the opposite gender.

Men, if they were on that jury and it was 12, it was nine men to three women, I bet the numbers probably would have been different because men think logically, right? Women think emotionally. That's a fair general statement. I don't think all women support Lindsay Clancy. I don't think that at all. But I think the way we're wired, women are more likely to support Lindsay Clancy and men are more likely not to. And so it's just another reminder of the differences between us as men and women, but also what's broken in our society?

And what is that exactly, DeVorey? It's the lack of accountability. Guys, this is the video update for today.
