SPEAKER 03 :
Nobody pandered more than Jacob Fry. Do you remember him weeping over George Floyd? Of course. Oh, my gosh. I mean, he did everything he could to pander and to pretend and to fawn. It didn’t get him anywhere. They kicked him to the curb anyway. It didn’t even matter. I mean… Every single person needs to take a lesson from this. You can’t pander to the left. No other mayor, Mark, groveled more at the feet of BLM and DEI than Jacob Fry. And they still tossed him aside like trash for someone who calls Somalia home. Precisely. He wants Minneapolis to be more like Somalia. He has said that. And people are okay with that. They love it. They do love it. Now, there’s excitement for him. There’s excitement for Mamdani. I’ve got to ask you a question.
SPEAKER 04 :
This guy makes Mamdani look like Dan Bongino. No kidding. This is…
SPEAKER 03 :
But this is really happening, so I have to ask you why it’s happening. I’ve got a theory. I’ve been thinking about this over the weekend. I think what’s happening is the left believes they should self-correct Trump’s victories. We’ve got six months of a list full of Trump accomplishments that are some of the most stunning and consequential accomplishments of any president in our lifetime, Mark. And I think they believe, all right, let me quote Beto O’Rourke. Mm-hmm. Better O’Rourke. Let’s have people return their cars to the road. Well, have you heard the clip of him that’s going viral that we have to be ruthless in reclaiming power? I know. The Democrats, this is what they’re about, is ruthless power. And sometimes people like Beto O’Rourke say it out loud. They say the quiet part out loud.
SPEAKER 04 :
They do us the favor of revealing what’s in their heads and their hearts.
SPEAKER 03 :
They’re revealing what’s in their heads. And so Beto, and I’m going to play this clip until you’re tired of it today on the show, because this is what they care about. Winning doesn’t work for them. Hillary lost. Biden lost. Beto, Lord knows, Beto lost. I mean, they lose. They’re not winning with votes. So they’ve got to look at redistricting. They’ve got to look at playing dirty. They’ve got to look at trying to throw charges at Trump and all this crap. They are about ruthless, ambitious power. And so I’m wondering if this crazy, wild-eyed move towards communist, Marxist, socialist looney tunes like Mamdani and Omar in Minneapolis, is that part of this effort to get ruthless power back? Of course it is.
SPEAKER 04 :
And you have to wonder about its ultimate wisdom because you’ll get the occasional Mamdani who may or may not win for mayor of New York. You’ll get this guy like Omar Fatah who may or may not win for – probably will win for mayor of Minneapolis. He doesn’t have a busy four-person election to navigate his way through. Right. Is that just a function of the moment in a Somali heavy city like Minneapolis? Or is it emblematic of something that is broader, something that the Democratic Party is slowly turning itself into? And if it is, as you’ve described, a thirst for power, an attempt to rattle the cage and reclaim power in some bold way, how can it do anything but fail miserably? Because for every Mamdani, for every Omar Fateh in Minneapolis, there’s still more Democrats in America still who are saying, man, I miss JFK. Man, I miss Joe Lieberman. Man, I miss Bill Clinton, some of them are saying. Bill Clinton would be a center-right figure by today’s measure. If it’s a quest for power, it’s doomed.
SPEAKER 03 :
Well, the Somalis alone won’t get this guy elected. So you’re right. It’s either doomed because normal, reasonable people, Democrats, if there’s any left, are going to say, uh-uh, we can’t do this. We can’t. I mean, to hear this guy talk about making Minneapolis like Somalia is stunning. And you think about this. And I do believe he was born here in the United States, if I’m not mistaken. Tracy, can you fact check that for me and see if Omar Fattah was born here or not? Born in D.C. That’s what I thought. Yep. But certainly Somali and his family from Somalia. You think about the image of people migrating here, immigrating here from another country, and then basically taking over power, taking over. Look at Congress. Look at Ilhan Omar. You know, look at these people who are coming to the United States. And this sounds, you know, edgy. And I don’t want to be racist. I mean, I know it’s not racist. It’s a fact. Do you have any problem? Byron Donald’s.
SPEAKER 04 :
No, of course not. The last time I checked was a black man just like Omar Fateh.
SPEAKER 03 :
It’s attitudinal. It’s political. It is, but I also don’t have a single problem with somebody saying, okay, my family came here from another country. So that’s not really the driving force. No, it’s all behavioral and political. And ideological. I mean, you know, no cash bail and let the criminals roam the streets and open borders and we’re not going to cooperate with ICE. And how about, P.S., mix in a little redistribution of the wealth while you’re at it. And, you know, very Marxist, you know, and against private property. That was the classic I played on Friday. Mamdani would like to abolish private property because everybody deserves to own something.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s the root of all liberty is private property ownership. And in fact, go back two minutes to what you were saying, all of it great. There’s not even a problem. I mean, it’s part of the definition of America, people coming from other lands, becoming American, and then establishing whatever life they want, including running for public office. There’s no problem. Yeah. There’s certainly no problem with somebody coming from another land, becoming American, getting citizenship, and running for public office. That’s not the problem with Omar. That’s not the problem with these folks. It is that they hate the country they have come to.
SPEAKER 03 :
They despise this country.
SPEAKER 04 :
And are looking to change it in terrible ways.
SPEAKER 03 :
Elon Omar said that last week. Elon Omar said America’s a terrible place, essentially. All right, I’ve got to leave you with this. Headline from Axios. You know Axios is one of my go-tos. I know they’re left of center. They’re a bubble of their establishment. They have them in cities all over the country. I’m sure there’s an Axios Dallas. There is. There’s an Axios Tampa Bay. Headline, Alligator Alcatraz. Alligator Alcatraz leans on myth steeped in racism. Yeah, that’s right. Do you remember when Pete Buttigieg said that bridges are racist? Yes, of course. Axios has decided to hold my beer. The idea… Are you ready? Yes. The idea… First of all, they claim that alligators don’t really like to eat humans. However… According to Axios, I’m not making this up. You can Google this. You can look it up. I swear to you. Oh, no. I’m reading here an article by somebody named Catherine Varn.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 03 :
The idea of the alligator lusting for human flesh is rooted in racism. Dating back to Jim Crow, when tourists could buy postcards illustrating black children as gator bait. Right. I kid you not. This article claims that there is actually a racist reason that Trump likes alligator Alcatraz. He’s a racist because it goes back. It’s a myth that goes back to the way to dehumanize, oppress and suppress.
SPEAKER 04 :
newly freed african americans i’m reading here all right so and they understand so we put we put a facility in the everglades yes because we we just love the idea the yes that old nostalgic imagery yes black kids being black children black children being the swamps to be eaten
SPEAKER 03 :
In fact, the article includes a postcard depicting black children as alligator baits.
SPEAKER 04 :
They’re on to us, Mike.
SPEAKER 03 :
I don’t know how much longer we can survive. The walls are closing in now. They’ve figured this out. Final quick observation. I’ve got to just say this. I don’t think there’s a lot of black kids right now at alligator outposts.
