SEAN HANNITY (HOST): It is primary day in New York City and soon America's biggest city could have a mayor who is not only a self-proclaimed socialist, I mean radical socialist, but an anti-Israel radical who truly believes in globalizing the intifada.
...
So, if you want government-controlled grocery stores and rent control and socialism at a level we've never seen, and wealth confiscation, and basically chase anybody that makes any money out of New York -- it will be a mass exodus the likes of which that city has never seen.
CLAY TRAVIS (GUEST): Sean, he's won, according to the prediction markets right now. Literally five seconds ago I was checking right before we came on, 99% chance this guy is going to win the Democrat nomination to be the next mayor of New York.
...
There are a lot of people out there that are looking at this and saying, "This is the end for me in New York City. I make a decent living, I've got a family but I can live in Tennessee, Texas, Florida, zero state income tax instead of 14 and 15% of everything I make." This guy said that he would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu for crimes against human rights if he came to visit New York City. This is what this guy said. This guy said he wants to replace police officers with social workers, Sean. If you need help because you need the NYPD, this guy says, "No, no, no, we're going to send you a social worker instead." This is a disaster. Maybe, unbelievably, worse than Chicago, worse than LA, New York City is on the cusp of electing the worst mayor that they have ever chose.
