[Desk transcript — faster-whisper small, int8, captured from the channel's broadcast audio at 2026-07-24T16:08:35.230560+00:00. Not a broadcaster caption file.] A difference between mayors. If you take a mayor, Ed Koch, when you will, a mayor, Rudy Giuliani, whenever there was something of interest, no matter what community, those mayors were available to the city they lead. Same could be said for Mike Bloomberg as mayor, from Bill de Blasio to Mamdani, Adams a little bit in the mix, where have the mayors been? I want to get this in. Ari Fleischer was on the Falkner Focus today, just a little while ago, criticizing Mamdani's leadership. Watch this. This mayor is conscious of the implications of what he says, knowingly. He uses the words he uses about Jews, about Israel, about Netanyahu on purpose. He needs to stop. He needs to realize he's a young man, a young leader. If he really wants to be a good leader, he has got to be the example in New York City. I don't think he's up to it. I don't think his heart is in it. I don't think he wants that. And so New York is gonna remain a dangerous place. Kaylee, I think that the contrast that you hinted at earlier. between Mamdani's slow response to this attack and then his multitude of statements about arresting Benjamin Netanyahu, which was one of his campaign promises. It speaks to Mamdani's intentions here in New York City. I actually think the scariest thing about him is that he doesn't actually see the mayoral ship here as anything other than a stepping stone to a larger national platform. And that tells me that he doesn't actually care about the consequences that his rhetoric, his actions, and his policies have on this city and the people who have here. Mamdani sees New York City as a platform from which he wants to shift the Overton window and make democratic socialism seem nationally viable and even popular. And that's why, you know, to tie some of these threads back together, the millionaire tax that he's been hinting at on social media that he decided to spend his time talking about instead of this attack, he talks about this as if this tax is going to fund libraries and parks and schools. That's not the point. The point of the tax is to take money from people that Mamdani hates. of naming these two things hate crimes. What are they looking at right now? Sure, well from a legal perspective, if you're talking about hate crimes, you're talking about what they can charge you with and what the ramifications of those charges are. Obviously any hate crime raises the penalty, right?
