Good morning, Cooner Country. Okay, my friends, a lot to talk about today, believe me. But there's no question now. We are now facing, and I'm choosing my words very carefully, a communist insurgency here, a political communist insurgency within the United States of America.

And again, I want to thank everyone who showed up yesterday here at a very special event sponsored by Kelly Financial Services. I want to thank Kelly Financial for sponsoring it. And I want to thank all of you who showed up. It was wonderful to meet you, shake hands, take pictures. And as I said to the wonderful people of Cooner Country who attended our event here at IHeart in a studio right near where I do my show, I had the opportunity yesterday to speak obviously on background with several Trump administration officials. I can't say more than that, but there was clearly... conversation took place. I can just say this. And let me tell you exactly now where the Trump administration is, what they think about the state of the country, and what they now think the greatest threat within the United States is coming from. President Trump and his inner circle, as I told the wonderful crowd yesterday here at IHeart, is now resigned to the fact. And this is a massive story. that Zohran Mamdani will become the next mayor of New York. There is another televised debate tonight, I believe it's the last one, between Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa, the Republican Challenger. However... If you look at the opinion polls, Zohran Mamdani is now up by 13 points, double digits. He is starting to widen his lead. He is pulling away in the race, barring some kind of a massive gaff or a huge self-inflicted error on his part. Zohran Mamdani is going to coast to victory. It will actually be a landslide. Now, many of you're going to say, okay, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff, okay, I mean, sure, Zohran Mamdani, a self-avowed socialist, in many ways a communist, clearly a communist. Okay, he'll be a bad mayor, it'll be bad for New York, but whoa, what do you mean a communist insurgency? And the Trump administration now is convinced Zohran Mamdani will win. And with his victory, they believe now this clearly represents the culmination of 25 years of the march of the radical left to the commanding heights of power within the National Democratic Party and within the Democratic Party, not just in New York, but across the country. And if you look at Zohran Mamdani himself, Zohran Mamdani now is increasingly becoming the face of the Democrats. He is providing the shock troops, the base of the Democratic Party. And on Monday, this was just a couple days ago, Zohran Mamdani held a massive rally in New York City. And as they openly said, and this is now with the full-throated support of Elizabeth Warren, of Bernie Sanders,

5:55

of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In fact, she was there with him. She's been with him on the campaign trail. They openly now said, and these are their words, quote, our time has come. And what they mean by that is that the Marxist wing of the Democratic Party, the far-left socialist wing of the Democratic Party, it is now their party. And what was even more chilling is the speech that was given by New York State Attorney General, now indicted New York State Attorney General Letitia James. She goes by Jessica Tisch. Letitia James, who spoke before Zohran Mamdani at this event on Monday. And she vowed that she would continue to go up against Trump. that she's not going to be deterred by these mortgage fraud charges that have been pressed or leveled against her, and that she was calling, by the way, for a rising up of socialists, progressives, communists, across the entire country. And as she stood there with her clenching her fist, calling for resistance, calling for revolution. calling for ceaseless opposition to Trump and the Trump administration. I have to tell you, it's Venezuela. It's Castro's Cuba. It's now the communists believe that they're going to take over New York, that this will now become a communist stronghold. that Zohran Mamdani, by the way, has openly said he would make Letitia James' police commissioner. So not only are they circling the wagons around her, but literally they want to give her a key position, the position over the police, over the police in New York. And this is a woman, by the way, who has said repeatedly that the police are racist, that the police need to be defunded. That the police now are a threat and a menace to people in New York City, and he's going to make her, who now has these indictments hanging over her head as the next police commissioner, should he win? Aye, aye, aye. Now, getting back to President Trump, this is now the way he sees the country. And I don't disagree with him. I think he's completely right. The Zohran Mamdani victory will now be the culmination of the left now seizing power within the Democratic Party. They will now become the heart and soul of the party. Zohran Mamdani will become the poster child of the party. And the Marxists, the communists, will have not just taken over the financial center, definitely of the United States, arguably of the world. But think about now what Trump is facing. He is facing now a confederacy of cities and states that are lined up in an insurrection against him. You have a communist like Zohran Mamdani, who is now going to seize power in New York. You essentially here in Boston have a communist in Michelle Wu. She's basically Zohran Mamdani in pantsuits. And she's now running Boston.

9:33

You have that crazy Marxist mayor, Brandon Johnson, who now is running the city of Chicago. Chicago. You now have the crazy pro-Antifa Marxist mayor of Portland, who now is completely taking over Portland and running it into the ground. You have Karen Bass, who literally was a former communist gorilla. who trained with Fidel Castro's forces in Cuba to help implement a Marxist revolution in America and around the world. And that's now the mayor of L.A. And so what Trump is now going to be facing, led by Zohran Mamdani, backed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, by Bernie, by Warren, by Elon Musk Omar, by Rashida Tlaib, Ayanna Presley, the squad. is an internal communist insurgency. And this means you're going to see more attacks on ice, more defiance on Trump's mass deportations. You're going to see now more defiance of federal law, more violence, more crime, and Trump, whether he does it sooner or later. is going to have no choice but to invoke the Insurrection Act. It's not a question of whether he wants to or not, because Zohran Mamdani now has thrown down the gauntlet. He has now explicitly said, when we take over New York City, this is now what he plans to do. And I want you to think about this objectively. He wants a $30 an hour minimum wage. This will literally bankrupt businesses all across New York. He wants universal childcare. He wants free buses. He is calling for the abolishment of private property. He wants government-run grocery stores. And by the way, everywhere that's been tried, that leads to scarcity and food lines. He wants to defund the police. That's why he wants Letitia James as his police commissioner. He has said that the police in New York are systemically racist. Saturday, July 25th. I know I will be the best welterweight in the world. An undefeated phenom. That man is a rising star. And a frightening force. What a win for Shemil Musayev. Ascend on the nation's capital to fight for gold. Thad, the silverback jeans. Silverback Nation makes them noise. Versus Shemil Mousayev. All it's over! For the PFL welterweight world title. Saturday, July 25th and 10 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

So whether you're after longevity or on any other health journey, it's easier at Sprout's Farmer's Market. And so if there is a 911 call, he doesn't want police officers to answer. I swear to you, he wants social workers to answer. He is calling now for prisons to be abolished, i.e. let criminals roam free on the streets, empty out the prisons. He has vowed to chase the billionaires out of New York. That means Wall Street will be chased out. The major corporations, hedge funds, banks, these are tons of jobs. Massive investment. Out of New York. He wants to impose the highest corporate tax rate in the country in New York City. 617-26668-68 is the number. Okay, listen now to President Donald Trump. A lot of this now is starting to come out in public, obviously. He sees that Zohran Mamdani looks unstoppable at this point, and we will have a communist mayor of New York. Listen now to President Trump. This was at a meeting with Argentina's president, Javier Milei, in the White House, and he went after Elizabeth Warren because of her full-throated endorsement for the communist Zohran Mamdani. Roll cut 20, Mike. We're confident that President Javier Milei is going to do well. We've been criticized by a couple of American peronists like Senator Warren. So, and, you know, she, she. It's a compliment. She has no idea what she's done. They're nasty.

16:11

A horrible senator. Go ahead. Other than that, I like her very much. Yes, and she and her protege in New York, Zohran Mamdani, who I don't even think he's a peronist. I think he's more the communist. Communist Chavamissimo. So we stand with the president and what he stands for and the hope for the Argentinian people. Now, obviously, a lot of this was directed towards Javier Milei, and they think he's, you know, the future of Argentina, obviously. He's done very well, bringing down inflation and trying to tame the socialism that has destroyed Argentina. But I don't want to get too caught up in what's going on in Argentina. The point is that was Scott Bessent, the Treasury Secretary, speaking along with Trump. They believe that Zohran Mamdani, and they're right. is an admirer of Hugo Chavez, of Chavismo, which is the Venezuelan-style socialism, that he will turn New York into Caracas, where crime is rampant, where there is widespread misery, where the middle class was destroyed under Chavez and now Maduro, where everything is quote-unquote free, but the services suck. Because that's what happens when you have socialism. It just spreads misery everywhere. It impoverishes your entire country. It doesn't make things better. It makes everything infinitely worse. And so what Trump now realizes is that with the victory of Zohran Mamdani, the most important city, the wealthiest, the financially most consequential city in the United States. will fall to a Marxist Muslim militant. And that Zohran Mamdani is now openly preparing, and he said it yesterday, again, that he will oppose Trump at every turn, that he will make New York the strongest sanctuary city in the country, that he will not allow ICE to enter into New York. that he will use every legal and political weapon at his disposal to block ICE, to block Trump, to protect criminal illegal aliens. And what is even more to me very disturbing, Zohran Mamdani is openly pro-Hamas. He's not just pro-Palestinian. He is pro-Hamas. In other words, he's pro-Islamic terrorism. He refuses to criticize Hamas. He refuses to call for Hamas to disarm and disband. He vowed again yesterday that if Benjamin Netanyahu visits New York City under what authority I don't know, but he says he will arrest Benjamin Netanyahu and send him to the international criminal court, which, by the way, we're not even a signatory to, in order to be tried for quote-unquote war crimes. This is a man who is a vicious Jew hater. He is an anti-Semite. He is deeply anti-American. He now will have Sharia law in City Hall should he become elected. So this is what New Yorkers are on the verge of electing. And as I told the wonderful group yesterday who attended the talk at IHeart, the event that we had here at IHeart Media.

19:45

You know, my ancestors, as you know, are from Croatia. And you can say whatever you want about Croatians. But like most people in Eastern Europe, under the communist bloc, communism was rammed down their throats through the barrel of a gun, i.e. the conquering Red Army after 1945. What's New York's excuse? Who the hell votes for communism? And wherever it's been tried, literally, I can name you country after country, after country, after country, after country. I don't care if it's in Europe. I don't care if it's in Africa. I don't care if it's in the Middle East. I don't care if it's in Latin America. I don't care if it's in Asia. I don't care where it's ever been tried. It has been a disaster. A disaster. 617-266-68-68 is the number. Okay, couple lines are open if you want to jump on. I want to go to the calls as quickly as I can. So let me just quickly wrap it up, and then I want to go to the phone lines. So this is what my source is now, and take this to the bank, what the Trump administration now have basically said over the next couple of weeks, really the next couple of months. Trump, President Trump, JD Vance, and his inner circle are, A, expecting a Zohran Mamdani victory, and it will be a big Zohran Mamdani victory. It won't even be a close election. Now, with Zohran Mamdani, he will become, as I said, the poster child now for the Democratic Party, the new communist-Marxist Democratic Party. Zohran Mamdani is vowing along with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez backing him and Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and Obama, and that is the key person, that the radical left is going to wage ceaseless resistance against Trump. They are going to block his attempts to use ICE agents to deport criminal illegal aliens. They are going to activate their street militias, i.e. Antifa, Black Lives Matter. You are going to see more violence on the streets, not just in New York. You're going to see it in Boston. You're going to see it in Chicago. You're going to see it in Portland. You're going to see it in L.A. In other words, you look at many of America's leading cities, and they will have full-blown Marxist, communist mayors. backed by radical left Democrats, say J.B. Pritzker in Illinois or Gavin Newsom in California or Healy, for example, here in Massachusetts. And so Trump now realizes that, A, you're going to see much more crime, you're going to see much more rioting, you're going to see ceaseless insurrection and resistance to federal authority, to federal immigration law, to federal enforcement of immigration law. And so he will have to invoke the Insurrection Act. This is an open secret now in the White House. The question now is not if, but when. When is going to be the right time for him to do it? And there is a debate within the administration. Stephen Miller, his top advisor, deputy chief of staff, wants to do it now.

23:14

He says, don't wait. If you have to do it, do it now. You have others, and they're very well-intentioned, who say, no, you still don't have enough support among the American people to take such a drastic action. Let the violence in these cities play out more. Not that they want violence. But that the media is not showing the American people what's really happening in Chicago, what's really happening in Portland, what's really happening in L.A. Under Zohran Mamdani, what's really going to happen, the explosion that's going to happen in New York. And so public opinion is not ready yet for him to invoke the Insurrection Act. And so they're saying, it's like a game of chess, you need to wait a little longer. and let the situation sadly get a little worse before the public would then accept him going essentially the nuclear option, politically, invoking the Insurrection Act. Now, as I said, and by the way, and the Trump team is aware of this, as I said to the wonderful audience yesterday, when Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, and it will be done sometime next year. The Democrats are going to go insane. I mean apoplectic. I mean berserk. I mean, they're going to take it to the streets. Chuck Schumer is going to lose his mind. Hakeem Jeffries is going to lose his mind. As I told the audience, I think Nancy Pelosi actually may get a heart attack. I mean, literally, like, oh, they're, oh, she just dropped dead. Look at this. And it's just, you know, she's going to get a connipion. Zohran Mamdani is going to freak out. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is going to, they're going to demagogue this. They're going to tell their people, take it to the streets. This is a dictatorship. This is authoritarianism. This is Hitler. This is Vladimir Putin. This is fascism. This is blah, blah, blah, blah. You know what they're going to say. And Trump then is going to have to break this insurrection. And he's going to invoke the Insurrection Act. And he's going to make the election, I'm telling you, on the radical communist Democrats. Not on his first terms in office. His, forgive me, his first two years in office, not the first half of his second term. It will be a referendum on the border, on ICE, on mass deportations. on the Democrats doing everything in their power to block federal law enforcement from implementing the will of the people and deporting these criminal illegal aliens out of our cities, out of our states, and out of our country. Now, I believe that Trump will break the Democrats on this issue. Personally, I believe that Zohran Mamdani spells the doom and the death eventually of the Democratic Party. Look, what Zohran Mamdani and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders and Brandon Johnson and J.B. Pritzker and Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass and those crazies in Portland and in Oregon, what they represent, and I'm not, and I'm choosing my words very carefully, is the United States of Venezuela.

26:45

New York is going to be turned into Caracas. That's what you're going to get under Zohran Mamdani. And that's what you're getting now in Portland. You go to Portland. It resembles a third world hellhole. You go to many parts of Chicago now. The crime is so bad. The lawlessness, the anarchy, the drugs, the trend of Aragua. Look, Rod Blagojevich recently came out. A Democrat, former Democrat, came out and said, I don't recognize Chicago anymore. It's a killing zone. Your car gets carjacked. Businesses are getting vandalized. Gangs are out of control. They're targeting ICE. They're more interested in attacking ice officers and firebombing ice vehicles and ramming them and shooting at them than they aren't going after murderers and rapists and sex traffickers. Chicago is becoming a third world hellscape. Not completely, but neighborhood by neighborhood by neighborhood, it's getting worse. So this is going to be the issue. that we're going to be fighting over for the entire midterms of 2026. And Trump is already phrasing, and I think he's on to this, he's ahead of the curve. We're not facing anymore the so-called democratic socialist. Number one, we're already, we're a republic. Obviously, we're a constitutional republic. But, you know, we also have a democratic republic, i.e., we have, you know, elections. And so we're already a constitutional republic slash democracy. So what Zohran Mamdani is, is a socialist, a self-avowed socialist. He's really a communist. And I don't know if you saw his act yesterday on Fox News. I managed to catch it. His interview with Martha McCallum. I don't think, by the way, she did a very good job, but let that go. All this guy does is smile. And then he's to me the definition of a snake oil salesman. If you want to see... You know, that term that was made popular over 150 years ago, what a snake oil salesman is, it's Zohran Mamdani. He's got that slippery smile. And his attitude is he's this average guy and he's going to give you socialism. He's going to give you communism. Saturday, July 25th. I know I will be the best welterweight in the world. An undefeated phenom. Batman is a rising star. And a frightening force. What a win for Shemil Musayev. Ascend on the nation's capital to fight for gold. Thad, the Silverback Gene. Silverback Nation makes some noise. Versus Shemil Musayev. All it's over! For the PFL welterweight world title. Unreal!

We're going to tax predominantly white neighborhoods and essentially chase them out of New York? Smile. We're going to defend bloodthirsty, anti-Semitic terrorists. Smile, i.e. Hamas. We are going to chase wealth and investment out of New York and essentially destroy New York as the Financial Center of America. Smile. We're going to release criminals onto the streets. Smile. We're going to have food lines and bread lines and scarcity because socialism always leads to scarcity. Smile. He's deceptive. He's a liar. He's manipulative.

32:44

And he's now preying upon the affordability crisis in New York by offering them the fantasy of socialism and communism. And the idiots in New York, the liberals, the progressives, the leftists, think that somehow they can get communism right. That you just got to keep trying it and trying it and trying it and trying it and eventually they'll get it right. Zohran Mamdani now represents the complete takeover of the Democratic Party by the Marxist Communist wing. And I got to say this. And it pains me to say it, but I got to give the devil his due. Bernie Sanders spent 30 years in the salt mines, and he chipped away year after year, year after year. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. How many years now? She's been chipping away, chipping away. Elizabeth Warren. How many years chipping away, chipping away? 617, 266, 68. Okay, very, very quick, because the lines are jammed. I want to go right to the phone lines. Listen now to President Trump. Again, a lot of what I'm telling you is what they're saying in private. This is part of his inner circle. Some of it, though, is starting to come out in public, obviously. Listen now to Trump saying, don't be fooled. Zohran Mamdani is not even a socialist. He is a full-blown communist. And when he wins, I am not giving New York a penny in federal aid or federal assistance. I'm going to give U.S. taxpayer dollars to somebody who's going to flush it right down a rat hole and use it to destroy one of the greatest cities in the United States over my dead body. Roll cut 34, Mike. We have a communist who's 33 years old. Doesn't know a damn thing. Practically, he's never worked a day in his life. And he's sort of caught on, right? And I'm not going to send a lot of money to New York. I don't have to. You know, the money comes all through the White House. And if they're going to be sending us stupid policies, I mean, communist policies, which has proven for thousands of years doesn't work. We're not to prove it again. We're not going to ruin one of our great cities because we'll make that great. We will clean up the crime in about 30 days. Took 12 days to do Washington, D.C., so New York is bigger. So basically Trump is saying, look, we can clean up the crime, we can clean up the drugs, we can get rid of the illegal aliens, we can, I mean, we can literally make, you know, a la Giuliani, the way Giuliani did it in the 1990s and early 2000s. We could make New York an incredibly secure, safe, peaceful, prosperous city again. But if you elect this guy, forget it. And he's right. Every time come, every time it's been tried. Every time. And I'm not saying it's, how do I say this? Well, it just doesn't work. You know, I don't know. It's stagnant. It's not effective. No, I mean, it's been a disaster. It's been an absolute disaster. So, and New Yorkers are going to vote this in?

36:20

Now, look, I don't wish you all upon any American. I really don't. But I'm sorry. You know, they can't say they were warned. You know, they can't say, well, nobody warned us because they're being warned again and again and again and again and again. And so I'm sorry. Part of me says you deserve it. If your city goes under, you have no one else to blame but yourself. 617-266-6-16-6-1-7-2-66-68 68. All right, J-T in Boston. You're going to kick us off, J-T. Thanks for holding and welcome. Jeff, I just have to say related to communism, you know the origins of communism. It's... The Bolsheviks, the banking system, the Talmudic Jews, and I'm not anti-Semitic. I'm anti-terranical banking. And that's what we exist in. General Patton said in World War II, one of the only ones, we defeated the wrong enemy. And I believe that the whole of the more is still occurring based on all of that. And I'm not a conspiracy theorist. I just observe that occurring. What's your thoughts on that? Well, look, you're right about communism being the greatest system of mass murder that ever has existed. There's no question about that. There's no question. And people say, well, Jeff, what do you say about Hitler? And I go, well, Hitler was very bad. But remember, Hitler was also a national socialist. So he was part of that socialist tradition. He just stressed racialism more than, say, international class warfare or internationalism, as Stalin and Lenin did. But look, no, J.T., look, Zohran Mamdani is anti-Semitic. He's anti-Jewish. To me, this whole idea of communism being a Jewish conspiracy I think is completely false. Lenin was not Jewish, Stalin was not Jewish, Castro's not Jewish, Chavez isn't Jewish, Mao wasn't Jewish. I could go on and on. And even Karl Marx, the originator of communism, yes, he was technically a Jew, but he hated his Jewishness. He was a self-hating Jew. He hated the Talmud. He hated Zionism. He hated faithful practicing Orthodox Jews. He thought religion was the opium of the people. And so this idea that somehow communism is a Jewish conspiracy, it's a lie. It's not true. I'm just telling you, it's not. And look, you know, again, we're going to blame the Jews for what? You know, because a militant Muslim Marxist, a pro-Palestinian, militant Muslim Marxist, whose mother is a communist Muslim from the communist hotbed in Indiana. And this guy was born in Uganda, who has a Muslim wife, who basically was, you know, pretty much in a burqa. She's in the hijab all the time.

39:51

who is vowing that should he win, he eventually wants to just have not just Sharia law in City Hall, but to eventually have in New York, which you have in Minneapolis and in Dearborn, whereby you have the Muslim call to prayer blasted over loudspeakers, who has the Jewish community in New York rightly petrified, petrified. That this man is now, what, a couple of weeks away from becoming the mayor of New York. So, again, I don't understand why there's this push always to blame Jews. when you're dealing with, say, an obvious, you know, anti-Semitic Muslim Marxists like Zohran Mamdani, to use them as an example. So, no, I don't think communism is a Jewish conspiracy. And I think if you look at, you know, most places where communism has taken root or was put in power, it wasn't because of the Jews. It was actually, it was non-Jews. No, the wickedness of communism, if you really want to get to the heart of it is. It combines all the seven deadly sins. That's what's so evil about it, but it converts them into virtues. You see, and that's Zohran Mamdani. I'm just using him as an example. But that's Lenin, that's Stalin, that's Mao, that's a Castro, that's, I could go on and on. So envy is a deadly sin. All they want to do is take someone else's money and property. Greed is a deadly sin. All they want to do is amass more money and more power for themselves. Pride is a deadly sin. Saturday, July 25th. I know I will be the best welterweight in the world. An undefeated phenom. Bad man is a rising star. And a frightening force. What a win for Shemiel Musayev. Ascend on the nation's capital to fight for gold. Thad, the silverback gene. Silverback Nation makes them noise. Versus Shemil Mousayev. Oh, it's over! For the PFL welterweight world title. Saturday, July 25th and 10 p.m. Eastern on ESPN.

So whether you're after longevity or on any other health journey, it's easier at Sprout's Farmer's Market. Have you seen anyone more quote-unquote narcissistic than this guy, Zohran Mamdani? Or these cult of personalities that you have in all these communist societies? The cult of Lenin, the cult of Stalin, the cult of Mao. Look at North Korea, fat man, you know, a little rocket man, chubby fat rocket man. His portrait everywhere. So instead of the cross and Jesus, it's always their portrait. It's this deadly sin of pride. I mean, I could go on and on and on. I can go through all seven deadly sins for you. What I'm saying is that's communism. It appeals to the worst part of our nature. to the deadliest, most evil part of our nature. And that's why, you know, Soldier Nitzin said, it's the greatest of all heresies. If you really want to understand communism, it is the greatest heresy against Christianity and against religion in general. And that's why in his brilliant, brilliant book, I'll never forget this. And he's right. It's not fashionable to talk like this, but he's completely right. Where he said, you really want to know communism, Marxism, it's Satanism. It's not just evil. It's not just a cancer. It's not just a barbaric, dangerous, destructive ideology. It literally is as close to Lucifer on earth as you can get. It hates the family. It hates religion. It hates God. It's not just godless. It hates God. It hates countries. It hates nations. It hates individual rights and individual dignity. And, you know, look at this scumbag, Zohran Mamdani. The guy wants to his words, globalize the Intifada. The Intifada was what they did on October 7th. The Intifada is what that crazy Islamic militant did at Manchester at that synagogue. That's what, when they say globalized the Intifada, that's what they mean. Now, how sick do you have to be? You come from Uganda. You're barely an American citizen. You're a 33-year-old punk.

who's never held an honest job his entire life. The guy was a state assemblyman. That's it. Like, that's it. His mother is a multi-millionaire, famous director from India. He lives in a multi-million dollar swanky apartment in Manhattan. He's a, what do you call him, a TFB, a trust fund baby. He was born with a silver, this guy, Zohran Mamdani, the man of the people. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He went to one of the most expensive private high schools in New York. And this son of a, you know what, this SOB? is going around saying, yeah, I'm for the working class. I care about taxi drivers and their medallions. And why isn't this a ticket to the middle class? The way Lenin screeched about the workers before he murdered all of them and he miserated all of them. So that's who Zohran Mamdani is. And I agree with Brian. He messaged me maybe 20 minutes ago. And he said, Jeff. A man that always smiles nonstop, no matter what he says, that's the sign of a sociopath. And I'm telling you, watch Zohran Mamdani, watch him in his interviews, even just turn the volume off and just observe him. You're like, this guy's a sociopath. He smiles and smiles and smiles, yet he says the most heinous things out of his mouth. And New York is going to fall for this fraud? J.T., I'm telling you, man, they elect him. We got problems. And look, I'm going to say to all of you what I told my wife, what I tell my closest friends. Okay? I'm in the confessional now. And I challenge anybody in this great audience. And I'm not saying this in a combative way. Please, as Charlie Kirk would say, prove me wrong. Show me anywhere. I don't care. Any country. Any time in history where communism has taken root and it was defeated by nonviolent means. In other words, where communism has taken hold, where has it ever been defeated except by the use of violence? I'm not arguing for violence. I'm explaining to you historically. Look, look at Venezuela now. They're trying to overthrow Maduro. There, Maria Maria Corina Machado has come out and said there's only one way to overthrow Maduro. We've got to use arms. We have to get weapons and we have to take it to the streets and overthrow these dictators. The Maduro dictatorship. Where has it ever been overthrown peacefully? Even when the Cold War collapsed, they had to take it to the streets. When the Soviet Union fell, they took it to the streets. When communism fell in Eastern Europe, they took it to the streets. So what I'm trying to tell you is, why would we go down this dark path? Now, America is an incredible country. We've done things. No other countries have been able to do. Maybe we can be the first in human history to defeat communism. Once it's taken root without using violence, I pray to God.

49:37

But look at them. They get more militant, more violent, more dangerous by the day. Chicago was worse today than it was yesterday when it comes to these anti-ice riots or Portland or wait till Zohran Mamdani gets in power. So that's why Trump is right. It's not a question of if. It's a question of when. He's going to have to invoke the Insurrection Act. And then let's keep our fingers crossed. The one thing you don't do is go down the road of either communism or Nazism. Because once you go down that road, you are asking for big trouble. And I'm sorry, but if we were a third world country, a poor country, an immiscerated country, an illiterate country. I could somehow understand the appeal of communism. I mean, I'm against it. I think it's a destructive, frankly, barbaric ideology. But, okay, people are very poor. People are absolutely desperate. People don't know. They haven't been educated. They're illiterate. They don't know much about history. What's our excuse? Seriously, what's our excuse?

617. JT. Thank you for that call. 617-266. 68 is the number. Okay, let's go to Moe on Cape Cod. Thanks for holding Moe and welcome. Hey, Cooner Man. Hi, Mo. It's been a long time. Welcome. I worked at Indian Point Nuclear Plant for years. It's shut down now. And before it shut down, it used to be 50% of New York City's electricity. Now they're cleaning is only, it was 24%. It's going to shut down. There's been no electricity. It will be re-rebuilt, but it will be going to people like Elon Musk. Before then, though, they will run out of electricity in New York, and that's how Trump will end up going in. It's going to be right out of escape from New York, the movie. I think they're going to have, I agree with you. I think they're going to have all kinds. First of all, energy costs are going to explode in New York and here, by the way. There's no question. This idiot wants to get New York off of fossil fuels completely. He wants windmills. He wants solar energy, wind and solar to power a city like New York. Like, is he on crack cocaine? So, and we're going to feel the effects. It just, New York affects the entire northeast. I know in Boston, we're the financial and cultural and in some ways the political center, obviously, of New England. But, you know, New York affects us. I mean, they're just much bigger than we are. That's just a fact. And so you're right. New York is going to run out of electricity. New York is going to run out of power. But New York is also going to run out of money. By the time he's, you start adding up. free buses, free subway, free childcare. And by the way, the free buses, you know what that's going to lead to. I mean, I don't want to get too off topic, Mo because I want to stay exactly on your point. But you start giving out, quote, unquote, free buses. Think about it. Just anybody gets on the bus. Just anybody. Well, drug addicts are going to get on the bus. Homeless people are going to get on the bus, especially in the wintertime when it's cold. Look, if I'm a homeless person, if you're a homeless person, Mo, you're like, oh, it's freezing, I'm freezing my ass off. Oh, hey, there's the bus. Get on the bus for free and just stay on the bus all day. All day, all night. Just stay on that bus as it goes back because it's hot and it's like it's warm in the bus. You're going to have drug addicts take over these buses. You're going to have homeless people take over these buses. You're going to have filth. You're going to have crime. You're going to have, I mean, you're going to have fights breakout. It's going to be a nightmare. Free subways. Government run grocery stores? The city is financially going to go poof. It's going to go bankrupt. Who's going to pay the taxes? You've chased everybody out. You've chased all the investors out. You've chased the middle class out. He's targeting the white neighborhoods. That's another thing. He's openly making an appeal on race that he wants to tax white neighborhoods. I don't mean just corporate America or big corporations. I'm talking middle working class predominantly white neighborhoods. He wants to break them so white people flee New York. Okay. You want to racially purge? This is racial ethnic cleansing.

54:33

And by the way, he wants to hit the Jews hard. When he talks about white neighborhoods, he also means wink-wink Jewish neighborhoods. So he wants to ethnically, racially cleanse New York by using the tax system. So there's going to be no money for anything. And then there's going to be no power. You're completely right. And the lights are going to go off. And I think you're right. I think Trump then is going to say to the country, and I shouldn't invoke the Insurrection Act. Like you want to see this city just, you want to, what, collapse? As you put it, like escape from New York, like out of a Hollywood movie. And I think Trump then is going to make his move. But by then, Mo, I mean, can you pick up the pieces? Let me ask you this. Can New York survive? You know, one or two terms of Zohran Mamdani. Look at London. And by the way, Zohran Mamdani said his hero is Sadiq Khan in London. That mayor. London is now a third world city. It's a, forgive me, it's a crap hole. You know, I can't say the word that Trump uses. That's what London has become. Siddique Khan in less than 10 years has destroyed one of the greatest cities in the history of the world. And Zohran Mamdani says he wants to emulate Khan. So my question to you is, can New York survive Zohran Mamdani? What say you, Mo? They're going to step right in. Best example I can give you is when Mount St. Helens Blue, they were talking about bringing in nuclear submarines to give power to the Washington Oregon area because they had a severe drain of power then. And it'll be an easy excuse where, let's put it this way. Most people in New York will be glad to see American troops in New York City. And, I mean, you're talking a huge army. You might even see international. Don't worry about Wall Street. They're going to move to Florida because that can all be done electronically. No, no, look, a very perceptive call. Very perceptive. Saturday, July 25th. I know I will be the best welterweight in the world. An undefeated phenom. Bad man is a rising star. And a frightening force. What a win for Shemiel Musayev. Ascend on the nation's capital to fight for gold. Thad, the silverback gene. Silverback nation makes some noise. Versus Shemil Musayev. All it's over! For the PFL welterweight world title. I'm real.
