00:00OK, Shabos, what do you make of this first 100 days?
00:04Do you think he has been an exceptional leader?
00:06Yeah, I mean, he was pretty exceptional
00:09when 20 homeless people died in the New York City winter storm
00:12due to the fact that Mamdani reversed a decades-long policy
00:15of forcing those either who are houseless or mentally unstable
00:18from being in shelters.
00:20He said, we're not going to do that because it's not humane,
00:22and then 20 of them died.
00:24So I think that was pretty exceptional.
00:25I think when you have individuals like Richard Williams,
00:30a 83-year-old retired Army vet who was shoved and killed
00:34on the New York City subway tracks by an illegal alien
00:36who already had prior convictions,
00:38and the federal government didn't know about it
00:40because New York City is a sanctuary city
00:42and does not report any of its immigration policies
00:44or illegal aliens to the federal government,
00:46I think that's pretty exceptional.
00:48So when people make the claim that Zohar Mamdani
00:50is pissing off the right people,
00:52well, he's pissing off the 83-year-old Army veteran
00:54who's now dead.
00:55He pissed off the 20 dead homeless in New York City.
00:58He's certainly pissing off most of the New York City Council,
01:01even those in the DSA, the far left,
01:03because his policy proposals and his 2026 budget
01:07is just simply not rooted in reality.
01:09So I'm not entirely sure the substantive claims
01:12that you had made,
01:13because they really weren't rooted in numbers or reality
01:16or the facts on the ground.
01:17You know, we know that most of the policies
01:19that he wanted to implement
01:20haven't actually been enforced or even proposed.
01:22So in that sense, I'm very appreciative of Zohar Mamdani.
01:25You know, he talked about freezing the rent,
01:27and he's not going to do it
01:28because he never had the authority to do it to begin with.
01:30So I think that's really positive.
01:31He spoke about gutting the strategic response group
01:33of the NYPD, and now he won't
01:35because he realizes that would be
01:36a really stupid thing to do.
01:38So I support Zohar Mamdani in the sense
01:40that he's actually backtracking
01:41on most of his campaign proposals,
01:43and I think that's a really good thing.
01:45So thank you, Zohar Mamdani.
01:46We appreciate it.
