Published October 30, 2025 | Video Starts at 02:20

The Democrat leaders in the Senate and the House have put their own political survival in front of the needs of the American people. Exhibit A is Zoran Mamdani. New York City... is facing a real crisis. Right now. They've got a 34 year old, unproven, untested socialist who looks to be the next mayor. He may well be elected. Monda me. Winning New York City would be the biggest win for the Marxists. The Socialists in the history of this country. (02:20–05:17)
