You are listening to the Hidden Lightness on America Out Loud Talk Radio. I'm your host Jimmy Hinton. Colossians 325. It says anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs and there is no favoritism. I love this verse and we're starting to see some of the wrong doings to America, the rhetoric, the bad, not just rhetoric but bad behavior. We're starting to see this play out. Anyone who does wrong will be repaid for their wrongs and there is no favoritism. Something interesting story that just came up. El Steyad is trying to make peace with Jewish Democrats but he won't dump Hassan Piker.
Hassan Piker is an absolute radical whack job. This guy yells into the microphone and talks to the, you know, he's all bad and tough, talks about how America deserved 9-11 and El Steyad, it's not just that he's a misogynistic jerk. The guy is an absolute jerk and El Steyad is very closely tied to him. I mean, they're like peas in a pod and so the Jewish community is really not liking some of these radical statements that are being made about them. I hateful statements and El Steyad, he's chumming up to Hassan Piker. You know, they're all buddy buddy, they're campaigning together, they're locking arms, smiling on camera together and the Jewish Democrats are drawing a line in the stand as
they should. You know, they're demanding an apology and now they're saying El Steyad's quote unquote apology was a sham apology and it was, I listened to it, he's like, well, you know, I tried to explain some of the history behind why people might say something like that. But you know, it was not my intention to hurt people. You know, you always hear that line from people who are very guilty. It was never my intention to hurt people. In other words, if they were hurt by my actions, screw them. It's kind of their fault. It wasn't my intention to hurt them. Yeah, actually, it was and you don't care. You know, instead of just coming out and saying, my goodness, like, this guy is a radical
and he was a radical, he is a radical and probably always will be a radical instead of saying that. El Steyad is doing what socialists do. They double down on everything, just about everything that you could imagine when they're called out on anything, they just double down on it. Well, you know, sorry if what I said offended anybody, you know, never mind that America's just hyper sensitive to 9-11, you know, a bunch of pansies. Isn't that crazy? Essentially that's what he's saying. If you read between the lines, he's like, well, you know, you guys should have a little bit of tougher skin. Just 3,000 people massacred in a single day. The biggest terror attack on American soil ever in the history of the nation.
Yeah, just tough enough a little bit. But what was in my intention to be aligned with somebody who absolutely hates America then to try to mansplain where he's coming from? Yeah, so excuse me if I offended you. Well, El Steyad that doesn't work with Americans. Every American person deserves better than you. And the Jewish people are seeing to it. They have really, really turned on him. And I think this is what needs to be done. People need to hold these people accountable. We can't allow people to continue to be radicals and to align themselves with their radicals and claim that you're for the American people. Claim that you care about the poor and you care about people who are living in the margins.
Yeah, that doesn't work. And the American people are starting to see it. They're not buying your crap anymore. So I'll read a little bit of this article here. It's a lengthy article but there's a lot of good stuff packed into this. I will put it in the show notes. It's a Fox News article. Standard nominee Abdul El Steyad spent this past weekend trying to mend fences with Jewish Democrats in Michigan. But his Republican rival calls El Steyad's comments, a sham apology. El Steyad in an appearance Saturday before the Michigan Democrats' Jewish caucus. And in an answer to a question from Fox News Digital, apologized for comments he made after a March attack on a suburban Detroit synagogue. He pushed back when asked to repudate the controversial comments from incendiary left-wing
streamer, Hazon Piker, who's a strong supporter of his campaign. A vocal critic of Israel who describes its military actions against Hamas, in Gaza as genocidal or genocide. El Steyad is facing off against former representative microgers. Now microgers is a cool, that guy's cool. He's just cool dude. The Republican nominee in the Great Lakes Battleground state for a crucial open senate seat, the Democrats must hold in the midterm elections as they aim to win back control of the chamber. Now very interesting, and I kind of glazed over this or glossed over this recently. You know, it's so important Michigan is a must win state for the Democrats, which blows my mind that they would risk everything by putting this nut job up as their nominee.
It's just absolutely crazy. And I think they're going to pay the price. You know, the Democratic Party as a whole, they're starting to realize it's starting to implode as I predicted over a year ago. I said they're on a trajectory to basically self-implode. Yeah, they're going to turn against each other. They have no plan. This is before they started bringing forth all of these crazy socialists. Yeah, anti-American socialists. Before that ever happened, I was predicting that exactly what we're seeing unfold would come to fruition. Now again, I'm not a prophet. I don't see in the future. It's just the writings on the wall. And you have to understand, people are tired of all this radical stuff.
They really are. It's such a fringe group of people. Now I've talked about this and I'm going to talk about it again. I'm going to do a whole show on it. But all these psychotic moms who went on camera and they're waterboarding their little infants and just acting like stupid, brain dead idiots. And they're like, we could be Lindsey. You know, they're supporting, cheering on literally as the van goes by, the prison van, or jail van, whatever it is. It goes by and all these women dressed in pink. You think this was like a cancer march or something. But no, they're supporting a woman who murdered all three of her kids and they're cheering her on. We love you, Lindsey. They're literally yelling that out.
We love you, Lindsey. With these psychotic moms, the American people aren't putting up with it. There has been major backlash as there should. And again, I don't want to give a spoiler alert because I'm going to talk about this. I'm going to talk about it very soon, probably tomorrow's show. They're, they're men who are leaving their wives because they're supporting Lindsey Clancy. And again, I support this. You know, this insanity can't stand. But that's the hidden lightness in this, right? That's the good news. The American people aren't putting up with this crap. This nation has been through enough and we're not, we're not going to tolerate anti-American
radical jihadists who, they're just crazy people. So anyway, El Sayed, back to him, he's trying to mend the, you know, mend the fences and it's not going over so well. He's a vocal critic of Israel. And just back to the Fox article here, a vocal critic of Israel who described its military actions against Hamas and Gaza as genocide. El Sayed is facing off against former representative micro-rogers. All right, again, that's a must win state for the Democrats. Meanwhile, Rogers is driving around and is forward pickup truck and people are being triggered by that. They're like, oh, we feel triggered. This reeks of the lynching in the South.
What? It's literally a forward truck in Michigan where the truck was made and he's just cruising down the road like smiling, having the time of his life with the American flag in the bed of the pickup and these people are like, we're triggered. Well guess what? The American people aren't foamed for this crap anymore. So El Sayed, he had a narrow primary victory over moderate Republican, Haley Stevens. And now the Democratic Party is absolutely imploding over this. If you don't believe me, just listen to some of the, read some of the articles, listen to some of the sound bites. People are absolutely flipping out over El Sayed and all these other Democratic socialists of America. They're absolutely losing their minds.
When are what they're going to do? How are they going to eliminate these people and get them out of their race? Well they can't now. You know, they won fair and square and these are the candidates for the Democratic Party. Well, actions have consequences and the Democratic Party is figuring this out. They're having a lot of pains. Remember the whole, we're a big tent. Everybody's welcome in the Democratic Party. That's a terrible idea. You know, absolutely terrible idea and they're finding out, messing around and you find out. You know, on and on and on. It's just, this is absolute insanity. And the Democratic Party in my opinion is on the brink of extinction. I thought they were just going to have some inner turmoil.
It looks like they're on the brink of extinction. And it's people like El Siett. When you open up a big tent and you allow people who love terrorists and talk greatly of, they hold them in high esteem right here in America and you align yourself with a radical who says that America deserved 9-11 and he said it repeatedly. And then he denies that he said it. Well, I never said that. Then they play the clips of it. The video clips, he's on video saying it. He's like, F America. I hate America. He literally says he hates America. And meanwhile, El Siett is buddy buddy, all chum, chum with him. Best friends forever. True love always. American people, they're not going to forget 9-11.
All right, Fox News Digital asked El Siett about a recent controversy stemming from comments he made in response to an attack on a Michigan synagogue. When federal investigators say gunmen inspired and radicalized by Hezbollah, crashed into the place of worship seeking to kill as many Jewish people as he could. The alleged attacker was a Lebanese born man who a week earlier had lost relatives in an Israeli air strike in Lebanon. Here was El Siett response to that. Hurt people, hurt people. Yeah. Hurt people, hurt people. That was his response to an attack. Instead of saying this was a radicalized insane man. El Siett, he may as well dress up in pink and march with all these women.
We love you, Lindsey. Right here, you're sympathizing with the murderers. That's who you sympathize with. Hurt people, hurt people. He was just a hurt little boy. And he just did this because that's just the way it works. Hurt people, hurt people. So El Siett was criticized by members of his own party. Good. Including Michigan's secretary of state, Dana Nassel, who discussed the comments in a recent interview with the Atlantic and declined to attend this past weekend's convention partly over concerns of anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party. Well, well, well, well. There it is. We always knew we've been saying for how long that the Democratic Party, not the Republicans,
are the anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism. They hate the Jews. And now people are realizing within the Democratic Party, oh crap, we've got a problem. All right, we're coming up on a break. We'll talk more about this. There's a lot to uncover here. Be sure to check out in the meantime, the America Out Loud Store, where you'll find incredible deals.

No diversity of Indian and expression is as American as apple pun.
Now is our time with my fellow Americans, America Out Loud.News, Liberty, and Justice for all. Mel Stietz says, hurt people, hurt people. That was his response to Fox Digital, Fox News Digital, asking him about a recent controversy stemmed from comments that he made in response to an attack on a Michigan synagogue. He says, well, you know, I don't know. To anybody who feels my comments may have been hurtful. I'm really sorry. That was not my intention. We condemned that terrorist attack. We condemned it outright. What I was trying to do was offer context for why it happened. But it wasn't the time for context and you don't ever want to trample somebody's pain. Now he seems to be doing this with 9-11-2.
He just always wants to give us context for why people are so knee-jerk reactive. How could the Jewish people be so reactive to a terrorist attack on a synagogue? Hurt people, hurt people. How could people at 9-11 when Hassan Piker is saying America deserved it? He's all chum-chum buddy buddy with Hassan Piker. How could people be upset about it? Why would they be upset? That was in the past. In fact, El Sayed said, what's in the past is in the past. We're focusing on the future. Excuse me? What's in the past is in the past? It's just not the way this works. When we have a current threat that's an attack on America because of terrorism, you don't
leave the past in the past. You address it, you confront it head on, you take on evil and you fight it. To not be able to, he just can't bring himself to condemn terrorism. It's always masked in a little lecture. Well, you know, I'm sorry if people got offended. Not if they got offended, they did get offended. They were offended. They should have been offended. If I hurt anybody's feelings, you know, I'm sorry about that. To anybody who feels like my comments may have been hurtful, I'm really sorry. That was not my intention. I mean, that is a sham excuse. It's a sham apology.
He said his message to Jewish voters in Michigan is, we may not agree on everything when it comes to foreign policy. We may not agree on everything when it comes. I'm not going to stop fighting for Palestine, sorry, Palestinian self-determination. But that does not mean that I will not stand up for safety for all communities. And I believe in the safety and dignity of Jewish kids like I believe in the safety and dignity of my own kids. Really? Hurt people hurt people. I mean, this is crazy. I don't know that the Jewish people are going to tolerate him much longer. And by tolerate, I mean, they're likely not going to vote for him. If he loses the Jewish vote in Michigan, all bets are off.
We already know that the statistics on black voters, when it comes to socialism, they don't want it. They're not favored towards socialist candidates. They don't want the democratic socialist of America. If you lose the black vote, the Democrats are absolutely done. Every one of these candidates. So interesting. Some Jewish leaders in Michigan went public on Saturday with an open letter urging Jewish Democrats and independents in the state to sign their names in support of Rogers, who is making a straight run for the Senate after falling just 20,000 votes short in 2024. Now listen to this letter.
This, I'm telling you, my goodness, if this isn't a wake up call for the Democrats, but it won't be. I say if because it won't be. Else I add it's not going to have an aha moment. He is not going to have an aha moment. He's going to double down on everything that he's been saying from the beginning because that's what he believes. How many times do we have to say this? Listen to what the people are telling you about themselves. They will tell you everything that you need to know about themselves. Simply by running their mouths. They'll tell you everything that you need to know. They're all these hopeful people. Oh, but he seems like a good guy. He's really nice and he doesn't attack people like Trump does. He doesn't call people names. Right?
That's how they vote because somebody doesn't call people names. Meanwhile, Else I add on hot mic, talking about voters. He literally said these people are so stupid. I played the audio clip. I played the audio. In fact, I should pull that up again just for funsies. Sorry. I should clarify here because it's not Else I add actually saying that. I re looked at the clip and it is real. I did double check because you do have to make sure the things are not AI. This is not AI. It's an actual clip. And this is a guest or supporter of Else I add. Else I add is standing literally right beside him with his hands in his pocket. And he's like kind of nodding along as this guy's saying this. But listen to what he says. People are stupid. This politics of no translation is going to be the way forward.
No, for sure. People have money on politics. Money in your pocket. Medicare for all. No one has to decipher what the hell that is. That's right. These people are so stupid. Nobody has to decipher what you mean when you say free healthcare for all. The people are so stupid. You just say you're giving out the freebies and they're just like, oh, okay. Like a bunch of clapping seals. And Else I add standing there like nodding along in agreement. If that were me, I would interrupt somebody and be like, no, no, no. If you truly believed it. If you truly believed in socialism and that you're benefiting the greater good, you're benefiting mankind, you would interrupt somebody like that and you would excuse them and be like, no, you're not welcome here. Don't talk down to our supporters like that. Don't talk down to the American people like that. We're here to give them all the free stuff.
Not to talk about how stupid they are. We're here to help them. But Else I add, he doesn't truly believe that. Yeah, so he's like nodding along. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right. Yeah, just throw the catchphrases in there and these people, they just follow along. So anyway, these people tell you who they are. They really do. So here's what this letter reads. This is from the Jewish Democrats in Michigan. Some Jewish leaders in Michigan went public Saturday with an open letter urging Jewish Democrats and independence. Oh my goodness, the Democrats need the independence. Bad. They urged Democrats and Independents in the state to sign their names in supportive rogers. Here's the letter. Again, these are Jewish leaders in Michigan.
Many of us have been fiercely supportive of Democratic candidates and principals. All of us have felt threatened and alienated by the politics and allies embraced by Abdul El Sayed, which has included demonization of Jews, equivocation on terrorism, exclusion of Jewish Americans from public life, and expression of implacable hatred of the world's only Jewish nation. Bingo. This is what many of us have been saying for so stinking long and they refuse to believe that they're no, no, no, we have a big tent. Where are the party of tolerance? There, remember, it's the Republicans. It's the Magas. It's Orange Man's followers who are the haters.
They're the anti-Semitic people. They're the people who lock people in cages at the border. It's the Magas who are white supremacists. It's the Magas who waive their Confederate flags and their racist and homophobic and transphobic. And it turns out none of that is true. It's the Democrats. Their big tent has allowed a lot of radical people. You know, it was damn Bungino put it the other day. Yeah, okay, you have a big tent, but who's inside that tent with you? Who are you allowing inside of that tent? Because that matters. You can't just say, well, we have a big tent. There are a lot of different ideas in here. Okay, what are they?
Because this is your tent. Democrats, you own this tent. This is not their Republican tent. Their Republicans are not like, oh, you know, like I could see their point of view. No, their Republicans are like, we want absolutely nothing to do with this kind of craziness. It's absurd. Independence, I can speak as an independent myself. We want nothing to do with that garbage. Absolutely zero zip zilch. I already said it. I don't think I'll ever vote for a Democrat again. I mean, it's going to take a lot until Democrats start standing up to this kind of garbage. People who don't stand up to this kind of nonsense and they're just like, oh, well, you know, we're a big tent. They don't have my vote. Now, I will say John Fenerman, that dude has been coming out swinging.
Against this kind of nonsense. He's been very vocal. I really respect him. I really, really respect John Fenerman. He's a Democrat I could vote for. He really stands up to this kind of nonsense. He calls it out. He's unafraid. When he sees evil, when he hears evil things, he just calls it right out. He calls people by name. So Rogers, micragers in a statement highlighting the letter, the Jewish letter, claimed that Abdul El-Sahed fans the flames of anti-Semitism. And he said, micragers said, we're fighting to extinguish it. Well said. Very well said. In an interview on Monday of this week, on Fox News, Fox and friends, Rogers says, we've
had so many Democrat Jewish people here in the state of Michigan ring up our phone and say, I can't do this. I'm for you. Folks, I'm telling you the Democrats are in so much trouble. Come November, the American people are not going to tolerate this kind of garbage. You can't stay in response to a terror attack on innocent people who are worshipping. And keep in mind, El-Sahed, it's not a good look when a Muslim sympathizes with a terrorist who wipes out innocent people worshipping. It's not a good look. Not a hurt people, hurt people. That was his state that were the words, those were the words that he chose to pick. He chose to stay those words in response to a terror attack on innocent Jewish people
worshipping. Folks, this is stichening. Micragers claimed that El-Sahed has a long history of anti-Semitic and inflammatory comments. But El-Sahed has repeatedly pushed back saying, my commitment to Jewish safety is the same as my commitment to the safety of my own kids. We have a responsibility to take on anti-Semitism in all of its forms wherever we see it. All right, okay, the words are there. But you can't make that statement and also make the statement, well, hurt people, hurt people. Crazy. Then you have the problem of Piker. It's causing a big, big headache for El-Sahed. And it should.
His alignment and close allegiance with Piker is absolutely hands down with biting him in the butt. And it should. In fact, to the article here, Piker recently featured on a stream an image of state Senator Jeremy Moss, the Democratic nominee in Michigan's 11th Congressional District. Moss, who is Jewish, has said that people are sharing a fake audio clip of him claiming that his entire reason for running for Congress is to make sure that America continues to support Israel. Now, Hassan Piker keeps playing this fake clip. Here's what Piker said. If Jews in America keep putting this idea out there that they're singularly invested in Israel, eventually someone is going to come around and take action, not against the state of Israel mind you, but against American Jews.
Is that a threat? And this is just crazy. Absolute crazy talk. Um, on Saturday, El-Sahed was peppered with questions from reporters about Piker. He said, we're in the state of Michigan. If you want to make this race about a streamer in California, I just think you're missing the boat. This is about affordability in Michigan. This is about seeing a doctor in Michigan. This is about Donald Trump's disastrous policies in Michigan. That's what I'm focused on right now. Yeah, never mind that I'm aligned with a terrorist. He's in California on the Michigan. Nothing to see here, folks. Move on. Well, guess what? The folks aren't moving on. They're not going to stop asking him questions about his allegiance with Piker. I'm telling you, actions have consequences.
And the Democrats, the Democrats as a whole are figuring this out the really hard way. We're coming up on a break here. All of our shows do go to podcasts the next day after the broadcast is heard on talk radio. You can hear them on your favorite podcast app. Be sure to subscribe, rate the show, share it. And when we come back, we'll talk more about the American people standing up and taking an action against this crazy lunacy that is the Democratic Socialist of America. We'll be right back.

So LCIED is not gaining any popularity in Michigan. I can assure you of that. The Jewish leaders in Michigan wrote an open letter asking all Jews Democrats, well, I think just all of them in general, it didn't really specify Democrats, but all Jews and independence in the state of Michigan to back microaggers. This is really interesting. Microaggers has been actually really cool. He's been super cool to the Jewish people and saying that he's there in support of them. He does not stand for anything that LCIED stands for.
America is not ready for this kind of radicalism. And I don't think it ever will be to be quite honest with you. His allegiance with Piker is absolutely crazy. Rahman manual came out swinging. He's been very, very vocal. He said the Democratic Party is not open to being taken over. He's right. I never thought I'd say that I never thought I'd see the day when I agree with Rahman manual on about anything, but he's right about that. He's absolutely right. The Democratic Party is not open to being taken over. Now they need to prove it.
They need to shut these people down and denounce them and say we absolutely wholeheartedly denounce LCIED and Hassan Piker and any other radical Omar, all these radicals. We denounce them and we want nothing to do with them. Even boini standards, AOC. They have completely taken over the Democratic Party. It's really interesting. Here's what Rahman manual said. I'm going to read more of his quote. It's really fascinating. I don't consider the Democratic Socialists are part of the Democratic Party. Oh yes they are. Rahman manual. They absolutely are. You know how I know this? Because the Democrats as a whole have not stood up to them. They've allowed them into their party. They've smiled and nodded. They've upheld the Fantastic Four or whatever they're called.
You know, AOC and Ilmar and all these whack jobs, they've held them up. AOC is likely going to be a presidential candidate. I mean that doesn't happen accidentally. The Democratic Party as a whole has to support them. They've brought her in under their big tent. So I disagree with them here. I don't consider the Democratic Socialists are part of the Democratic Party. Yes, they are. Because you guys have allowed this kind of nonsense. You've allowed a lot of nonsense in the Democratic Party, a lot of nonsense. And this is just the one that happened to come back and bite you, the hardest. So anyway, Rahman manual goes on. Rahman says about four weeks ago they had a convention in Chicago, separate party. They believe in defunding police, letting prisoners out of prison, opening borders, eliminating
the Pentagon. If you're so confident people want that, I'll see you in November, put it on the ballot. Let's go, run as a separate party. Here's the thing. The Democrats have been running on these kinds of things. It's not just the Democratic Socialists of America. Chuck Schumer. He's been flapping his lips about open borders and, wow, no, wait, this, putting people in cages that's racist and Trump wants all brown people out of the country, even people who are here legally. He's all about being a bleeding heart and opening up the borders and Schumer's not the only one. It's most of the Democrats. There have been polls that ask about what about all the sanctuary cities?
And the Democrats celebrated the sanctuary cities. You know, resist, resist ICE. Look at all the protests. These are not the Democratic Socialists of America doing that. That's the Democratic Party. And that's like moderate leaders, supposed moderate leaders. So no, Rama Manu was absolutely wrong here. Cool, that feels better to disagree with him. I feel like I'm back in a safe territory here. I mean, yeah, the Democratic Socialists of America are very much Democrats. Very much Democrats. Rama Manu, they're not part of the Democratic Party. Yes, they are. If they're not part of the Democratic Party, then neither is AOC.
Right? You may as well kick her out of the party. Really interesting. Again, here we go again. Democratic Party leaders, when asked about the party's current ideological warfare, often point to Democrats as a big tent party. Now guess what? People are calling them on what that means. You know, for a long time, people just kind of politely nodded their heads and they're like, oh, wow, that's so diverse. Now people are calling them out. And they're asking very specific questions that these people can't answer. Here's an interesting quote. This is by Democrat strategist Julian Epstein, Democrat strategist who's calling this kind
of stuff out. Julian Epstein wrote this, talking about the Democratic Socialists of America. They've taken cover behind the empty big tent lie as radical DSA members and allies, like Michigan's Abdul El Asayed and Colorado's Milat Kairos, the triumph in Democratic primaries. Folks, how long have we been staying the Democratic Party is imploding? Now all of the sudden, now that the Democratic Socialists of America are winning primaries, now all of the sudden the Democrats are like, no, this is not us. This is not who we are as Democrats. They've hijacked the party. They've taken over. I don't know. Really interesting that now all of the sudden they have a problem with it.
Before it was all the mega people, they're all racist, they're all stupid, they're low information voters, what did Hillary call them? Deplorables. It was all about making fun of people, mocking people, talking about how redneck they are, how stupid they are, how uneducated they are, uninformed they are, and they just embraced tolerance and diversity and DEI and all this stuff that they were shoving into the schools, all the trans stuff that they just absolutely put on steroids. And now all of the sudden they want us to believe that they're, they're, we're moderate. Now this is not who the Democrats are. We're not radicals. All the George Floyd protests, Black Lives Matter, that whole mess.
They've been out of control for so long. And people have been sounding the alarm and they've mocked people who sound the alarm. And now all of the sudden they're sounding the alarm and they're like, oh crap, we're in trouble. We're in big trouble come November. Here's a story, check this out. This is Yahoo News here. Mayor Zora Mamdani faces Union Revolt after changing stance on $10,000 school worker bonuses. Mamdani is getting sued by the teacher's union who emphatically endorsed him. They loved him. They're like, this is our guy. He loves socialism. And now Zora Mamdani's like a pay raise. No. No, I don't support that anymore.
He did until he didn't. This is how socialism works folks. We literally are seeing it in real time. We're seeing it on phone. And I mean, anybody who knows any history whatsoever. I mean, I'm talking like second grade level history. Second graders know this. And yet all these people fell for it. The teacher's union in New York City. Yeah, yeah. Mamdani, he's our guy. He's our guy. Free everything. That Mamdani screws them over in the worst way possible. And how they're ticked off. You want to talk about voters or Morse. Here's the article. New York City mayor Zora Mamdani is facing a revolt from a teacher's union that backed his run for city hall just last year after changing its stance, his stance on a law that would
give paraprofessionals a financial boost. According to a report from Fox News on Sunday, August 30, the United Federation of Teachers is fighting Mamdani's efforts to block a city law that could provide education paraprofessionals with bonuses of up to $10,000. Now $10,000 in New York City is absolute. It's tissue paper. $10,000 is a joke in New York City. The cost of living there is so incredibly high. And Mamdani is like, nope. Nope, not a chance. Not a chance they're getting that money. Wait a second. I thought you're for the working people. I thought it was only the millionaires that you don't like. Hmm. Funny how socialism and communism work. New York City Council unanimously approved the Respect Check Act on July 16.
But Mamdani's administration filed a lawsuit on August 19 seeking to stop the measure. I mean, it's not like, it's not like he's vocally against this. Like he actually filed suit to stop it. Mamdani, 34, previously supported a version of the proposal, but he's now arguing that the law goes against New York's Taylor law, which governs collective bargaining for public employees. Now the UFT, which endorsed Mamdani after he secured the Democratic mayoral nomination in July 2025, is attempting to step in an intervene in the case. I mean, I hate to laugh, but you emphatically endorse a known socialist. He's not even trying to hide it.
He endorsed him. He screws you over. And now you're like scrambling to try to figure out you're like, oh, wait, wait, we didn't see this coming. Well, we all did. Heck three quarters of Americans saw this coming. There's going to be more. He's not done yet. This guy's just getting warmed up. He just started. He just took office a few months ago. Look at what always done to New York City. Look at this winter, all the poop everywhere. He had piles of garbage and poop, human waste, fecal matter needles, people in wheelchairs couldn't get to the bus because they were snow piled up everywhere. They're like, the plows just quit. They're like, ah, can't plow through garbage. Now they got like what, 12 inches of snow, which is nothing. It ought to be a nothing event. They got like 12 inches of snow in the city shuts down for over a week.
It's crazy. And then remember the shovelers, they're like, what, the city will pay people to shovel, but you got to show three forms of ID. You got to prove your American citizen like Mam Donnie did that. You literally can't make this stuff up. So we're seeing this stuff unfold right before our very eyes. And America is not having it. So I think this is going to be, I think for the common sense voters, this is going to be a big wake up call. I think the people in Michigan are going to be like, yep, nope, not going to happen. We're not going to elect L. Syed to the Senate. Not going to happen. That's my prediction. I could be wrong. I hope I'm wrong. I mean, I hope I'm right, rather.
But I very well could be wrong. I don't know. Anything can happen in an election. But I think the people of Michigan are going to, they've had enough of this guy. They're not going to say, oh, yeah, we love him. We love L. Syed. He's such a super nice chap. I think the people of Michigan have had enough of the Jewish population in Michigan has definitely had enough of him. They're done with him. He does not have the Jewish vote. He effectively lost the Jewish vote in Michigan. And it sounds like he's losing the independent vote. That's a big deal, folks. So again, as always, look to New York City. If you want to see how socialism plays out, just look at New York City. Because that's coming to a city near you or a state near you. If these people get in, God help us.
So the fact that American people are seeing this and there are democratic leaders now, finally, who are starting to speak up and revolt. I think that's good news. I think it's hopeful. But I don't know. The damage might be done. We're going to have to just wait and see. It's going to be a waiting game. We're going to have to wait and see. But my goodness. This is like watching a train wreck unfold. But God bless the American people. We deserve far better than the democratic socialists of America. They can take their socialism and they can go overseas and they can practice all they want. But don't bring socialism to America. That my friends is the Hidden Lightness.
