Mamdani's Obsession with Bibi and NYC Jews
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If you think New York’s crisis is about crime or budgets, you’re missing the fact that its own mayor is actively pouring gasoline on a antisemetic fire he helped ignite. This episode of The Rant Network lays out a brutal picture: a mayor who campaigned on “protecting all people” now openly encourages protests targeting Israel’s prime minister, legitimizes an ICC warrant the U.S. doesn’t recognize, and fuels rhetoric that NYPD leaders warn could push agitators into full‑blown chaos. “Hate crimes are up 182% in New York City.” “The mayor’s activist posturing puts police officers in the street in a terrible position.” This isn’t activism — it’s institutionalized antagonism that emboldens extremists, normalizes antisemitism, and abandons the basic responsibilities of governing.

Anger At The Mayor’s Targeting
SPEAKER_02Unbelievable. Any stripes. And Mayor Mamdani would probably want my stripes in a different direction at the rate he's going because he would rather see Jews, you know, the way that Hitler saw them in the 1930s and 40s, and the Nazi Party, and these socialists, just the brazen attitude, the unbelievable, the people who demanded that we take care of all people, that the people who demanded that we care for the minorities. Mamdani is, you know, he claimed he was going to be the mayor for all people. Yeah, every mayor says that. And that's what he said. But I guess he doesn't think that Jews are people. I mean, forget about the Italians and the Irish that he ignored a few weeks a few weeks ago. But he really has a heged down for the Jewish community. And he probably has BB's derangement syndrome more than I think that Joy Bihar has Trump derangement syndrome, Stewart. What do you think of Mayor Mandani, my friend?
SPEAKER_00Okay.
The Netanyahu Arrest Threat Explained
SPEAKER_00Let's first start off. Mayor Mandani, who's a left-wing activist, turned mayor, urged New Yorkers to take to the streets and protest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the expected UN General Assembly this fall. Mandani had spent his entire campaign vowing to arrest him under the 2024 ICC Warrant that we discussed in regards to wars against Gaza. But, you know, horses admits that he has no legal authority to do so now. Rather than stand down, he pivoted to fanning the streets, demonstrating, you know, allowing, leaving it already exhausted New York police department and high alert. So
Public Safety And The NYPD Squeeze
SPEAKER_00let's understand this. Threatening to arrest a foreign dignitary on what we call UN Assembly Land, where we allow terrorists to come and speak, but they want to arrest BB Netanyahu, the only player in the West in the Middle East. And by the way, Bandami knows this. This is what happens when you elect an activist mayor instead of governance. He ran on a fantasy, lives in a fantasy. Arresting a sitting prime minister of a U.S. ally, reality crushed, that's fantasy. He didn't pivot governing the state of New York or, you know, governing the state of New York because the governor isn't even pushing back. He pivoted to a community organizing from City Hall. That's not leadership. That's a protest coordination with your municipal budget, misappropriation of municipal funds. NYPD cops just survived six weeks, 12-hour shifts covering FIFA World Cup, the Knicks NBA title, Independence Day, and America's 250 celebrations. And their own mayor is now recruiting violent agitators for their next headache. The NYPD Police Benevolence Association, Patrick Hendry, said plainly, the mayor's activist posturing puts police officers in the street in a terrible position and warned that Mandami's heated rhetoric could be enough to push demonstrators over the edge into chaos in this city. This is a progressive governing model. It's on its purest form of ideological hate and public safety last. And the cops can go to hell, according to Mayor Mandami. Let me be precise, because David claims I never am. Mondami is actually, and what he's doing here is using the mayoral office to legitimize an ICC kangaroo court that the United States government doesn't recognize against its democratically elected leaders and America's closest ally in the Middle East. That's not Qatar, that's not Saudi. That's Israel. He is not protecting a dictator. He's not protesting a terrorist. He's mobilizing the streets agitators against Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of the only liberal democracy in the Middle East. He's not riling them up over Hamas and the murder and genocide that not only affected thousands of Jews in Israel, but tens and hundreds of thousands of Gazans. The organizations massacred exactly twelve hundred Israelis on October 7th and still holds hostages of the entire Gaza Strip. The ICC warrant that Mandami has been waving around like a country amid enormous controversy is flatly rejected by any U.S. as legitimate, is illegitimate. Mandami knows this. He knew it. He knew he couldn't arrest Netanyahu. The arrest threat was never real. And it was a donor-based activation tool wrapped in anti-Israel, anti-Jewish, anti-Semitic, anti-American, anti-New York fucking city.
ICC Claims And Escalation Talk
SPEAKER_00And the street protest he's now calling is his encore performance. Zorron couldn't admit that he couldn't arrest Netanyahu. So he's outsourcing a mob. That's not a mayor, that's a representative of a terrorist organization called Hamas. And the press secretary is with mayoral seal. And to all you people in New York fucking city that don't rise up against Mandami, you had it coming to you because you were too stupid, too lazy, or too fucking ignorant. NYPD, PBA president Patrick Hendry, warned Mandami's Reddit meant violent agitators will assume they have permission to cause havoc. And that the NYPD response is hamstrung by a loss and settlement signed over to the unions, opposition. NYD, NYPD cops work, I believe, harder than any other department because they're forced to walk and chew gum. And there's no room for a political stunt by a political hack. Well, I'm exercising mine, David. I'm asking every single person that could listen to this broadcast to go stand in front of Mandami's residence, block him from leaving, obstruct his wife from leaving, and call him what he truly is: a Nazi, an anti-Semite, an anti-New Yorker who stands for everything that New York is about. Political speech or hate speech. First Amendment or hate speech. Why all of this is falling apart? Mandani
First Amendment Or Incitement Question
SPEAKER_00is no longer a private citizen tweeting into a void. He's the mayor of New York. His words carry institutional weight. NYPD union bosses are on the record saying mayoral rhetoric directs shapes how violent agitators perceive their license to act. Filing lawsuits against Mandami as a citizen. Acts against America. Filing against his father with hatred. Maybe we can recall his citizenship. I've never heard a better use of taxpayer money. As one Brooklyn cop put it, Mandami is basically telling every crazy person to do what they want. There'll be no repercussions. You don't get to play activists in chief and wash your hands when cops get hurt, either. And the peaceful protest framing ignores Mandami's specifically built his political identity around clearer criminalization of a prime minister of a free sovereign country. These aren't neutral demonstrators. He's encouraging. He's encouraging the legacy IRGC that roams the street of New York, Montreal, Toronto, Michigan, and others to come have a coronation ceremony in New York. He's throwing red meat to the most radical eyes group in the world and calling it an American constitutional principle. The mayor of New York admits he can't arrest Netanyahu. So his next best thing is to have a seditious sick mob do his bidding. David, we've been doing this for a minute. Canada's Liberal Party hasn't been standing up when they should. As they should, when they should. So have I. So has the Rant Network. But to push demonstrators in New York over this edge, I think it goes beyond the First Amendment. I
Hate Crimes Rise And Political Cover
SPEAKER_00believe it is a lack of faith of office, and I believe it's an impeachment. David?
SPEAKER_02You know, it's really interesting. I'll I'll start with the end of what you just said. The exact end. They went after Eric Adams for all kinds of shit. But this mayor seems to have Teflon around him. He's insulated himself from everybody because he's so well beloved by the Bernie Sanders of this world, the AOCs of this world. He feels he has no limits. Nobody's gonna come to arrest him. Why? But here's what Mam Dani has done, Stuart. First of all, since his election, he's encouraged, that's right, encouraged anti-Semitic actions. And in the first few months of his mayoralty, hate crimes of anti-Semitic, sorry, hate crimes are up 182% in New York City. That's NYPD data. What does that tell you? Is that the mayor has let the animals loose. Now, there are many organizations chasing him and saying, hey, what you're doing is damaging. Well, yesterday or two days ago, a suspect was arrested, stabbing two men in New York City, one Jewish, Jewish, yelling Ala Wakaba. Now you're gonna classify that as a lunatic. If you didn't get out of your shell in New York, you would say, Yeah, it's probably one of those isolated hate crimes. But that's exactly the pattern that's going on in France, London, in Spain, in other countries or in Europe, because the left has allowed this to fester. Socialism has run amok in those countries and has permitted and encouraged this kind of stuff. But let me remind Mr. Mongani, you're a mayor of New York City. Do you remember what your oath was? The people of New York City. You have no right to get involved in international affairs as mayor of New York. You gotta clean up garbage. You have no right to arrest Benjamin Atanyao. You have to make sure that the crime is down. You promise lower housing. You've made all these promises. But the one thing you focus on is BB, is Israel. Now I find it very interesting that you're not you're there's no rhetoric about China who have taken millions of Uyghurs into concentration camps. I'm surprised that you're not going to talk, I'm not surprised, I should say. I'm surprised in a way that you're not talking about other Muslim countries that have literally killed Palestinians by the thousands, but you're quiet because that is not your MO. You're doing exactly what conquering Muslim leaders have done for centuries. Use violence to conquer land and to spread Islam. I'm not here to say to you that all Muslims are radicals, but when you take your religion as the point of spreading this hate and you use it to target, you are a terrorist. Now, the International Criminal Court, Stuart, all of this stuff, if you see right now what's going on, newly elected leaders, for example, in Colombia and in other countries have withdrawn their support for this ICC move because these conservative governments that have been have emerged have said the ICC is full of shit. But Mamdani doesn't care. Mamdani pipes up about genocide, that Israel is is the worst country in the world. You know, it's it's just fascinating how dumb people can be to listen to that shit. But again, Mamdani's not alone. You've got Hassan Piker, you've got Candace Owens, you've got all these, we've talked about these so-called influencers who've decided that you know Mamdani's right. It's the only thing that these extreme crazies are agreeing upon. And that is, hey, yeah, we we agree, we think that you know, Israel is the worst, Jews are bad. This is how the 1930s in Germany started. You've brought it up many times, I've brought it up many times. You know, it's not even funny how bad it's gotten, and it's normalized. So much so that you know, you look at guys who are running right now. Women and women are running, top Democrats are running. Abdullah al-Sayed is running for Michigan Senate in a state that is really there's a prominent Muslim community, and he's saying the same thing as as as Mamdani without any repercussions. We saw what happened to Graham Platner, no repercussions until so Jews make up a small minority in the United States. Point zero to the world, the world, but I'm saying in the United States, there's a little bit more oomph with with Jews. There's more like two more than two percent of the country is Jewish, and yet it's interesting what the contribution of Jews has been to the society in the United States. But but many have been convinced, many have been convinced that Jews are the worst, the Jews are vermin, that Jews should be eradicated, and that's what he's done. He's created a pogrom, he's gonna create a pogrom in New York City. That is gonna be Mamdani's gold star. That's what he's looking for, for the crowd to do what he cannot, like you said, and that's going to happen, Stuart. And you know what? What was once old is new again. Same shit that the Tsars of Russia have done, same shit that that Hitler did, same shit that was done in France with the with the Alfred Dreyfus trial, same shit over and over and over and over again. But the electorate has no excuses anymore. You claim to be the Democrats, claim to be the party of the people, and you're losing Democrats. People are leaving the party, they're escaping to become independence because they don't recognize this party anymore, because they can't stand side by side. The 103 Democrats who voted against supporting Israel in its war with Iran and Hamas, they would rather see Israel erased from the map. But in all this, Stuart, and all this rhetoric, please answer this one question, my friend.
Who Benefits And What Helps Palestinians
SPEAKER_02How does any of this help the Palestinians? If you recall, all of these protests that started after October 7th, actually not on October 8th, by these haters, paid haters, uh a lot of them were paid. What what were they standing for? Free, free Palestine from the river to the sea. These are the expressions, these are the phrases. But how how does killing two people in New York help Palestinian children? How does Mamdani calling for a riot, a January 6th type insurrection? Ah, I'm gonna use that one on the on on Mamdani. How is he gonna use it? That kind of insurrection, how does that help Palestinian women? I'm not sure I understand the relationship, Stuart, other than it being total anti-Semitism and hatred towards Jews. So if this is what Mamdani wants, it like you said, it's time for people to raise themselves out of it. Jessica Tish, who is the chief of police of New York City, I can't imagine her standing up for this. I can't imagine that at one point I would I couldn't I would believe that if an NYPD suddenly went on strike from protecting Mamdani for helping his office, that wouldn't surprise me because the NYPD is not here to do his bidding, it's to protect the people of New York. And Mamdani, I believe, should be removed from office for breach of promises to protect all New Yorkers.
SPEAKER_00I don't have much more to add except don't spit in Mandani's face because that's considered battery. I guess I can only say that fact that spitting in his face is battery. That is a criminal charge in the United States. But if it wasn't, if it wasn't considered battery, I think everyone should spit in his face. How about that? Constitutional rights being abused with hate is something that needs more eyes, and it actually does need the courts in the United States to shut this guy down.
SPEAKER_01Amen.
SPEAKER_00Send him back, David. I'm doing this, close it up.
SPEAKER_01All right, ladies and gentlemen. We'll catch you on Monday. We're gonna be changing scenes, people. Have a good week, everybody.
