All right, in today's video, Zoroamandani continues to be exposed. He's unprepared for the coming blizzard for New York City and demands people show their ID in order to shovel snow. Also, there was a potential assassination attempt that took place at Marlago, 1.30 a.m. in the morning. And we have much more to get to in this video. But first, like this video. Share this video. Please leave your thoughts in the comments section below. And do not forget to subscribe to our channel. Let's go to Mr. Mondani and what he had to say. Take a listen.

There's been this controversy over the snow laborers and the sort of what some see is onerous need to have documentation. Can you just talk about if that's new and would you make of the controversy? This is all longstanding. This is a longstanding program and longstanding requirements. And this is a way that New Yorkers get paid to shovel snow in assistance with the city's response. to a winter storm event. Federal law requires that employers get authorization and documentation to pay people for their work. We are not allowed to just cut checks to individuals for their work.

And these are the policies that we've had in place, but I understand that for many, it's the first time that they've ever heard about it. Okay, so as you guys know, Mondani continues to have a terrible week because now he's being exposed for being a hypocrite. On one hand, he doesn't believe in voter ID. But on the other hand, he's requiring New York. to show two forms of ID and their Social Security card in order to sign up as a snow shoveler where a person could potentially make anywhere from $20 to $30 an hour.

It's right here on their website in case you want to look it up for yourself. Scroll down to the bottom. All applicants must bring the following to their appointment, two small photos, two original IDs with copies, a Social Security card. But what if these people are, you know, brown or black? What if they're rural? What if they're low income? Are you sure they're going to be able to have ID in order to volunteer here or sign up to actually shovel snow?

Because you guys are unprepared by this blizzard that's coming up. I'm just asking questions here. All right, let's go to a New Yorker because she absolutely exposes the whole thing. Take a listen. The big snowstorm coming today. And our mayor says that we need emergency snow shovelers. If you'd like to sign up to be a paid snow shoveler, you can go to any DSNY garage from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow on Sunday. I saw that the mayor said that we were supposed to report for duty between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. today for emergency snow shoveling.

Why? I think the earliest that we can put you out there is 8 p.m. tonight. It's $20 an hour? I think it's actually higher now. I believe it's $30. If I have a snowblower and I can do the work of three to four people, can I get paid more? I don't think so. I thought we could just tax the rich.

We need two forms of ID? What happens if I only have one? two forms to sign up. One from this side and one from this side. It's so interesting because they want to tell us we don't need ID to vote, but we need two forms of ID to shovel, you know? Do I need to print the photos out? I have to print those. What if I don't have a printer? Okay, thank you. We got here. Our mayor said to show up at the garage at 8 a.m. I was just told inside that I have to come back at 8 p.m. and that my shovel is outdated, but they have another one waiting for me. A.m. are going to hold on to it for me. I have to come back with the proper attire, two forms of ID, a social security card, two photos printed out, get paid $30 an hour. Okay, so I want to be clear about something. The issue is not that all of these forms of ID is required.

The issue is the hypocrisy. Okay, that's a fascinating part about it. I would argue you actually need more documentation to be a snow shoveler in New York City than you do to vote in our election. So please make it make sense. Now, let's go back to him because I guess he's the one leading up the response to this blizzard instead of, I think, people in his cabinet that really should be speaking about this. But hey, I guess he wants to be in front of the camera on every single issue facing New York. So here's his response to the criticism so far.

Take a listen. You took a lot of heat in terms of the response for this. Is that criticism viable? You know, I think that what New Yorkers have come to expect time and again is that when we, have a storm, we typically see the weather will actually increase in temperature so that it's not just DSNY, it's also Mother Nature helping us to melt the ice and the snow. What we saw, however, in response to the last storm, was a sustained, prolonged cold spell, some of the coldest weather the city has ever seen. And so what we had was that snow hardening into ice. We actually had

to have literal ice melters across the city, one in each borough, at least, and that was grinding this snow and this ice into liquid. We still have one machine, running at this time. However, what we're looking at with this blizzard is that in the next couple of days, the weather is expected to get back into the 40s by Wednesday, which should greatly assist in the melting of ice and snow across the city. All right, so listen, in real time, we are witnessing the difference between campaigning to be the next mayor of New York City and actually being the mayor of New York City. They require two different skill sets, in my opinion. But we'll see if he's able to figure out and if New Yorkers will wake up, because I'm

sure this is not what they voted for. All right, let's go to our next clip because this is Gavin Newsom, if we stay on the point about requiring ID to shovel snow in New York City. Well, according to the governor, he cannot locate his birth certificate, and it's been many years since he's been able to do that. So the SAVE Act should not be passed as a result. Take a listen. Not a joke. No, I mean, so this is madness. Voter ID. It's not about voter ID. The SAVE Act's not about that. It's about registration. It's about proving your citizenship with a passport. Not everyone has a passport. If you, where I don't, I don't know what your birth certificate is. I lost that at seven. I mean, I don't even know where to begin

to get it back. So these guys are not screwing around. I mentioned the DOJ. I mentioned that we had to go to the Supreme Court. Talk about holding your breath. I've learned all my breath now. It used to be a minute, not six minutes. Come back to that, just getting stronger and stronger. We were waiting. We didn't know how that decision would go. You see, behind that statement that I can't find my birth certificate, so the SAID Act should not be passed,

shows you what they think about you. They think you're too frail, disabled, or you're too stupid or poor to go find your birth certificate, or go order a copy of one. Sooner or later in a person's lifetime, they will need a copy of their birth certificate sooner or later. So it would make sense that of all things they're going to be able to get a birth certificate for to vote in our elections?

I think that's an important thing, no? All right. So if they said that Save America Act is Jim Crow. This Jim Snow example in New York is really perplexing. First of all, there are two different sets of documents that are required. Under the Save America Act, you've got to prove your citizenship at the time you register. and then show up with a government-issued photo ID at the polling place to prove that you are the same person listed on your voter registration. In nearly all 50 states, you can get a driver's license even if you are not a U.S. citizen.

In 19 states plus D.C., you can get a driver's license even if you're a known illegal immigrant. And that's exactly why we've got to do this because under the 1993 NVRA, if you fill out one of these forms, check the box. sign your name, that's all you have to do when applying for a driver's license to simultaneously register to vote. That's why that's not enough, because in nearly every state, you can go through that process. And as long as you're willing to lie on that form and sign your name to it, then you can register to vote. There ought to be more required than that. So if they said that Save America Act is Jim Crow, this Jim Snow example in New York is really perplexing. It's okay to require people to provide proof of their citizenship in the,

The context of snow removal, but not voting. I don't understand. I don't understand it either. Just like I don't understand why Mayor Brandon Johnson gets so upset when someone uses the words, illegal aliens. That is the proper term when describing these people who are getting these driver's license and some of them have actually voting in our elections. Now, what number? You could debate that till you're blue in the face.

It doesn't matter. The point is the safe act should be passed. The point is this hypocrisy from Democrats should be exposed. so people could see both sides of the debate, if only mainstream media would do the right thing. Now, on that point about Mayor Brandon Johnson, I want you to watch how upset he gets when a reporter uses the term illegal aliens. Watch this. The likes of the Common Sense caucus saying that they're not voting one more red cent for what they consider to be suspected slash funds for illegal aliens and potential immigrants. Those developments we visit last year's question of what will you do to regain the all-nournobes.

traumatic trust because it squarely appears that the alderman do not trust you. Well, you know, again, I do take issue with the characterization of individuals who are undocumented. And again, I would respectfully ask that at least in my presence that you refrain from that type of characterization, I will say this. Well, you know, again, we've, we've already had that conversation. Okay, let me go through this really quickly here. Some of you guys are struggling to kick a particular bad habit, especially in the name of convenience. What am I talking about exactly? Well, as I go through this, I think you'll get the picture here.

But we're talking about fume zero. This is a particular product that is not a bait. It's not a nicotine patch. It's flavored air, natural, clean, and satisfying to use when you catch yourself reaching out of stress or just plain O habits. This is no vapor, no batteries, no setup, just something that feels good in your hand, even better in your routine. And honestly, this could make all the difference for you, just like it did for me and 500,000 other people out there. Fume Zero can give you the new option to reach for one that simple, natural, and surprisingly satisfied. And guess what? It all just starts at $24.99.

Super easy way to use it. My go-to, just so you guys are clear, is the flavor raspberry. And there's six other flavors that you could try for yourself. So be like the 500,000 people who have already made the switch to flavored air with fume. And with zero, it's never been easier to join them. All you have to do is click the link in the description below or scan the QR code on the screen. All right, so number one, I think it's clear Democrats hate it when people use the term illegal aliens, which I think is rich. Number two, voter ID, no thank you.

But I will need to see two forms of ID in a Social Security card if I need you to come out and shovel some snow. I mean, this is their logic, ladies and gentlemen. It just doesn't make any sense. All right, let's go to our next story because this also doesn't make any sense as I continue throughout this video. Because as you guys know, there's a partial government shutdown that is impacting DHS, particularly TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, cyber awareness, and also ICE and Border Patrol. Well, I just got a notification this morning, actually my brother did, that pre-TSA check has been suspended. So when pressed about this, that is Hakeem Jeffries, here's what he had to say about.

Where we get to now is ICE. You know it's funded. Why shut down the government? We get new information this morning that TSA pre-check is going away. Global entry is going away. You know, there's real worry now. TSA and FEMA are not going to get paid. there's a winter storm coming to your northeastern location there.

Why take away funding from FEMA, from TSA, the Coast Guard, and others, when ICE is fully funded? Why not reopen the government? Well, let's remember. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the presidency. To the extent there is ever a shutdown, as was the case with the 43-day Trump-Republicans shutdown in the fall. They cannot move forward out of a shutdown without Democrat votes. They can't do it. You guys have got to vote with them.

So let's talk. Okay, so let's talk about that. Our basic value proposition is that taxpayer dollars should be used to make life more affordable for the American people not to brutalize or kill them, as was done with an ICU VA nurse Alex Freddie. And those are tragic cases that are being investigated and must be. We need answers on that. But that, that, ICE is not going to shut down. I'm happy to respond if you give me the opportunity to respond. So we believe that this moment should be used to make dramatic changes to ice.

You see, that exchange continues to show you that Democrats don't care about innocent people. We saw it in the 43-day government shutdown where they said they wanted ACA subsidies, never got it in the end, but government workers were hurt in the process. That's exactly what's happening today, including travelers. This is a text message my brother received earlier where they were essentially warning people that TSA pre-checking global entry services. may be suspended. But then TSA came out with this particular message where they said at this time, TSA pre-check remains operational

with no change for the traveling public. However, I want you guys to pay attention to this, courtesy escorts, such as those for members of Congress, have been suspended to allow officers to focus on the mission of security in America's skies. Bottom line is, we should see this every single time. If the government shuts down, the first people who should be negatively impacted is Congress.

Constituents are going to get angry about these. airport security lines, is this going to force Congress, Democrats, in particular, your party, to change their approach? Well, I know Christy Nome wants to change the subject, and that's in part because she was, you know, humiliated with her leadership in Minnesota, removed by the White House, and now she's trying to find other things to be able to make us think about. Look, right now, the American people are furious still about ICE, furious about what happened in Minnesota, and it's not just there. Yeah, well, according to clear observation, the American people are upset about the economy.

After record inflation and the damage that the Biden administration has done, I would argue people still have PTSD over that. But again, that's not a strong suit for Democrats, so they obviously ignore it, or what they do is they gaslight American people. That's exactly what Hakeem Jeffries did when he was confronted on that very issue. Take a listen. To the point of affordability, inflation is down, wage growth is up. up its far outpacing inflation. Consumer sentiment is positive. Small business consumer sentiment is

positive as well. I mean, there are a lot of markers that seem to be moving in the right direction for the American people. I mean, gas prices down, grocery prices have slowed. Are those not positives? Well, the American people understand that this administration promised that they would lower costs on day one. That's the standard that this administration that the president himself set. Costs haven't gone down in the United States of America. We know costs have gone up. Housing costs out of control, grocery costs out of control, electricity bills out of control, health care costs out of control, and child care costs out of control. America right now is far too expensive. And that particular statement from Jeffries there at the end absolutely makes sense.

I mean, if you compare it to 2019, it is far too expensive. But who presided over when things got truly expensive? It was the Democrat Party. I think that's the bottom line to this entire story. So as we go into the midterms, voters have to be. have a choice. They can go back to the party that wrecked the economy, or they can vote for a party at times can be incompetent and poor with their messaging. I think that's a fair statement. All right. Our next update comes as a potential assassination attempt on the president's life at

Marluggle happened at 1.30 a.m. earlier this morning. Now, one, the president was not there. He's actually in D.C. And two, they not only caught the guy, but they shot and killed him. Here's what the authorities had to say. Take a listen. At 1.30 this morning, the security detail detected that an individual had made his way into the inner perimeter of Marlago. A deputy and two Secret Service agents on the detail went to that area to investigate. They confronted a white male that was carried a gas can and a shotgun. He was ordered to drop those two pieces of equipment that he had with them. at which time he put down the gas can, raised the shotgun to a shooting position.

At that point in time, the deputy and the two secret service agents fired their weapons and neutralized the threat. He is deceased at the scene. I'll give you a picture of the shotgun and the gas can to have with you. So that's what we know now. The investigation continues. The FBI is the lead investigation agency on this case, and we will be assisting them at whatever manner they would like, and they will be responsible for answering any other questions at an appropriate time. So when I saw this story come out, I couldn't help us shake my head because we live in a time today where this is normal business. I mean, I don't think anybody's really surprised by this.

Number one, especially if you pay attention to the rhetoric, okay, on the internet. We've got some screws loose in our country. There's no question about it. And as you heard in the reporting, yeah, I mean, they will get in their vehicle. They will travel over state lines and they will try to pull something out. They probably won't be successful. And number two, it's silent as night from Democrats. And that's the unfortunate part about our political landscape.

They cry about how humanity has been lost with the Trump administration. I would argue they are the ones who have lost their touch with humanity. All right. Here's more details about who this suspect was. Take a listen. The Associated Press is out with some new details right now. They have named and we have confirmed the name of the suspect, 21-year-old Austin Tucker Martin. According to the Associated Press and this bulletin that just crossed, he was reported missing by his family a few days ago. Investigators believe he headed south and picked up a shotgun along the way and they think that because they found a box for the shotgun in his.

his car. The FBI is right now asking people that live near Mar-a-Lago to check their doorbell cameras, check any cameras that they have in their yards so they can figure out exactly how this guy got into the area, but it is now believed, according to the AP, that he might have piggybacked behind a vehicle entering Mar-a-Lago lawfully when the gate opened. Okay, so what we don't know for a fact is what his motives were. We don't know his political history, but what we do know for a fact that this is not the first situation in a, what, past few years now, where we're continuing to see politicians, people in the political landscape be targeted in assassination attempts.

Some have already been successful. And it's not just happening on the right. It's happened on the left, too. If you go back to the Minnesota lawmaker, okay, killed, murdered, and cold blood. I mean, this stuff is getting out of hand. You think it beg the question for a lot of people out there, hey, what is actually contributing to this behavior. I don't think people

want to critically think about that. When you speak with your colleagues on the left in the Senate and you raise these issues that the rhetoric is dangerous, that we may potentially be talking about a third assassination attempt on our president. What is their response?

Look, most of the time, whoever you're talking to on this doesn't tend to think that it's their issue. Nonetheless, I think, as a country, it would be worth us taking stock from time to time and asking, is this what we're supposed to be doing? If the U.S. government has become the biggest presence in people's lives, if government policy dictates whether someone lives in peace

or in hostility culminating in violence, perhaps we're approaching government in entirely the wrong way. It's not just that they don't like his policies. It's that they're comparing him frequently with all the certainty that they're capable of people who engaged in violent acts involving and culminating in mass murder. That's the sort of thing that causes many people, including the mentally deranged, to go out and do things that they shouldn't do and wouldn't otherwise attempt. All right. So let's get your guys' thoughts in the comments section below to these stories today.

Why don't we talk about Mr. Mondani first? What do you guys make of his, I guess, response to this second winter storm if you think about it? And the fact that you've got to have two photo IDs and a social. security card to shovel snow in New York City, but not for voter ID. Just give me your thoughts about that and everything else we talked about in this video in the comment section below. Okay, so if you guys are looking for more hypocrisy from Democrats, that's exactly what happened in this next video, where both Chuck Schumer and Gavin Newsom were exposed. They claimed that they never wanted the president to issue tariff dividend checks. Well, after the Supreme Court ruling, they're calling

for a tariff refund check to the American people and plan to introduce pieces of legislation to push that forward. So if you guys missed down on that update and more, all you have to do is click on that video because it's coming up right now.
