The Middle East, though, is not the main event. This is the main event. It's a sideshow. In Israel, the greater expansion project is a sideshow to a sideshow. The defense of Israel is different. And right now, I would argue, as being one of the biggest offenders of Israel and the Jewish people, to argue very simply, the threat, the existential threat to Israel and the Jewish people is not in Tehran. It's not in Tehran. It's going to take them decades to turn that thing around. And if we cut off the oil, it'll happen quicker. The threat is right in New York City. Sadiq, what has happened to London in the last 10 years? Are people asleep? What has happened to Paris? What has happened to Brussels? What has happened to every country except for Hungary and Poland, the ones that said, no, we're not going to do this.

We're going to keep our culture. Look at Germany. It's all the same source. Right now, in New York City, and he's going to win running away. Because he's got the Working Family Party, he's got the DSA, and they are a massive ground game. They've got 10,000, 20,000 people canvassing every day. It's the grassroots equivalent of what President Trump has built through the precinct strategy. Mamdani is a Marxist and a jihadist. Let me be blunt. He's a Marxist and a jihadist. He's got happier, he's got happier, he's got happier TikToks, and he's a pleasant guy, he can run around. He's another version, he's a more, he's a better programmed version than Barack Hussein Obama, right? It's coming. He's gonna win in November.

He's going to control the government of the most important city in the world. And you ain't getting it back. And any conservative, George Roosevelt, yes, it's socialism and we all take a crack. Do you think Sadiq Khan's giving back London? Are these guys giving back Paris? Are they giving back Brussels? The English people know this. What do you think they're putting the flags up for? England is heading to a very dark place. You know why?

You're going to have to head to a dark place to get your country back. A political power play in New York. Democratic Socialist Mayor Zohra Mamdani winning records this morning. Three endorsement and three victories. The progressive candidates he backed won their House primary races, ousting two sitting congressmen and shaking up the Democratic establishment in New York. It's a massive statement for a young mayor just six months into his term. movement that he says is just beginning.

Zohran Mamdani 2:50

That we are showing there is a new path for politics in our city and in our country.

Zohran Mamdani 3:01

We are showing that last June, a year ago tomorrow, was not an anomaly. It was not the end. It was the beginning.

Over the coming days, we will celebrate 250 years of the American story and the proposition with which it began that a free people answer to no power but their own. Milestones of this magnitude demand more than ceremony. They ask something of us. They invite us to reflect on the creation of our country, of course, but no less on its condition. Indeed, the most fitting way to honor those who founded this nation is to meet the great challenges of our own time with the same resolve that they brought to theirs. And in that spirit, under President Trump's leadership, the U.S. Treasury is working to restore economic security as the foundation that allows a nation to fulfill its most basic obligations.

Unknown 4:10

How big of a shockwave was this to see all of the people that Mamdani endorsed win? Truly, as Politico put it, there is a new king of New York when it comes to endorsements. I mean, just up and down the ballot from congressional races on down. If you're Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, you're really taking a tough look at this because truly New Yorkers sent a message last night and with affordability at top of minds of Democrats, this has got to rattle them going forward.

Scott Bessent 4:49

Economic security begins with national capacity. We have rediscovered at great cost what Alexander Hamilton taught us around the time of our founding, that every nation ought to endeavor to possess within itself all the essentials of national supply.
