00:00I think, look at the comments and actions.
00:08I think that after October 7th, to see people who are lined up with the Democratic Socialist
00:15Party and what they did after the election, I think those who lines up with people who
00:21celebrate Hamas.
00:22Hamas is a terrorist organization.
00:24They should be destroyed.
00:27People are not calling for the release of hostages.
00:31People who protest outside the leaders of Jewish leaders' houses.
00:37Some of this just nasty and mean action that you're seeing from some of these candidates.
00:44One in particular that I wanted to highlight, but many of them have not dealt with this
00:48anti-Semitism in the city.
00:52Just look at their comments.
00:53I'm not trying to name them to give them any more notoriety than they deserve.
00:59But we will be pushing back on anti-Semitism and hate and other actions we see in the city.
01:07We're going to be clear that this is not a city for anti-Semitism, anti-LGBTQ+, anti-Semitism.
01:15I'm going to be clear on that, and everyone should be clear on that.
