Speaker 1 Sunday Morning with us today is Hank Shankoff and one of the smartest guy I know in politics in the well presidential and New York. But we both happen to live in New York and right now we’re both worried. Well, Hank, what the heck is going on? Can you give our people a update?

Speaker 2 Yeah? Thank you John first of all, and thank you listeners. The problem here is that nobody really wants to accept what is going on. They’re deluding themselves, and the power is the power. People in power. They look and they say, well, Zori Mundaumbi, the socialist, he’s not a Democrat as a socialist, and who’s recording his own an assembly district? He’s remember the

local assembly is it’s actually atrocious. He’s done nothing there in the years. He’s been for the people that the years has been alling. But plot to be mayor. You know, they don’t want to accept the fact that this is a war for the future of New York. It’s not some political game. These these people in power are endorsing

Mondoni because she’s a Democrat candidate. They think he’s a prohibit of favors and they want to protect themselves they’re really not interested in protecting the public.

Speaker 1 I agree with you, and and and uh, we we’ve made so many examples of this mundie person and I mean, it reminds me of what was the guy’s name in the random Republican election, George Santos. The guy wasn’t really a legitimate candidate.

Speaker 2 Well, listen, the Democrats are in such deep trouble nationally that this is what be It’s not unexpected. You’re going to see more of this around the country. This is this is like a disease taking over healthy cells in a body that is aren’t incapable of fighting back. And that’s what’s happening to the Democrats. They just don’t have

the capacity to do that. And the result will be that Donald Trump will probably run for a third term or how dance run for for president. He will be the vice president something crazy like that, and they’re gonna run against New York, Chicago and Los Angeles. And it’s not a bad strategy. I would do that a part

of them. You have these three mayors that that they don’t that the that are out of set bea As far as Trump’s concern of the writings, concerned with their populations, it’s going to be very difficult for the country, very difficult.

Speaker 1 Well, I think I’m not giving up on New York yet, me and you will do what we have to do, whatever we could do to uh, to fight hard for New York and uh and UH. Like I said to everybody, I think he may he may destroy himself when people find out what he really stands for.

Speaker 2 If they do, and if the campaigns that are run make that case, I mean, if they do the usual stupid campaign like what what Andrew Cromo did in the Pride, pe will win with big numbers. It has to be much much more clever. It’s got to be much more thoughtful, much more targeted. You know what he did here is

fashioning what and I predicted this as you made a call for forty thousand people on the street, I would guesstimate paid for by who knows who from left wand groups around the country. All of them stand for boycotting Israel and the Junos what including globalizing EMPTI father, which means killing Jews and don’t make any mistake of what

that means. Who want to take over the cities and turn them into Philadelphia if they can where you can’t walk the streets right where the Working Families Party is now as significant as the Democrats are in any ways.

So that’s what they want. They want power and they hide it behind the idea they’re going to make the work better. But there’s nothing that he’s saying that is achievable. Because if it’s not achievable, how do you make people’s lives better? It’s ridiculous. And the youth are the greatest enemies of democracy here because these kids under thirty five

who Mondamie targeted and did it well and smarting. People who don’t vote regularly have no investment in the system. The daddies and mommies pay for their apartments. They have nine dollars, ten dollars, lattes, one hundred dollars dinars. I’ve never paid a price, born a burden. I’ve never done the dirty work of democracy. Stand to gain the greatest

well transferred the history of the world when those will die and you know they’re just there’s no callouses on their hands. They think they know how this works. What they will do is they will take care of their own and decimate the rest of the population by taking resources into their own hands. That don’t belong to.

Speaker 1 Them, Hank Shankoff, what me and you are going to work hard to make sure New York’s stays New York, so our kids and grandkids get to experience in New York. We know, well, God bless you, and God bless America, and let’s catch up against you.

Speaker 2 God bless New York, which has been the most important beacon of light in this country. John, take care of yourself at a wonderful rest of to day.
