A school district in New Jersey's been hit with a lawsuit alleging a pattern of anti-semitic behavior and hiring practices at public schools. Wow. So the mayor, Derek Armstead goes as far, well, you pick it up. Pick the story up.

Yeah. This is a super disgusting story here out of New Jersey. You've got this school district where you have a Jewish teacher, been on the job for a couple years, part of these meetings, superintendent and the mayor. And they're like, well, we've got some higher political ambitions here. We don't want to just be a mayor. We don't want just be a school superintendent. So what we need to do is we gotta hire more black people. We gotta hire more Haitian people. Okay. But we're not gonna hire any more Jewish people. We don't want the people, what is it, what did they say?

He described big hats and big curls.

Yeah.

In other words, he's talking about Hasidic Jews. We don't want them anywhere around our politics, because I want to be reelected with Haitians and black individuals that we've put in these offices.

I think he was actually trying to run for a congressional seat.

Yeah. It was, that's right. It was a congressional seat. But this is DEI just on steroids, isn't it? I mean, this is where it gets so crazy. But the real truth was this was all for him.

Yeah.

This was so I could be Mr. Big and I could win in Congress. So we don't want Jewish people in these political positions. And he describes them, big hats and big curls, like we don't know what he's talking about.

Right. And suggested, oh, they might be taking over the neighborhoods near this school district. And we can't have that. We need more black people. We gotta hire all of these Haitians. And then it gets even more racist from there because they say in the meeting, like, well, okay, well, how do we know? And he says, well, somebody there, I don't know if it was the mayor or somebody else. They said, sometimes you can tell just from the name what color these people are. So this is a Democratic politician who wanted to further his career, who engaged in both this form of racism and pandering, because he says, oh, look, I'm hiring all the black folks here. You've gotta vote for me because I'm so great for this community. It's disgusting and what it does, you do that when you think voters are stupid.

It sounds Republican, doesn't it?

It really does.

But he's a Democrat. Matter of fact, he's a Democratic golden boy, apparently up there. The Jewish vote needs to put a ton of money to defeat him. They need to do everything they can to defeat this guy and send a message. And the message is, antisemitism is antisemitism. You can dress it up any way you want. You can't hide it by the words that you use. But this is, again, just so you can follow this story, follow this guy's career, which I hope is over, is Armstead, right? Mayor Armstead.

Yeah. Derek Armstead, Superintendent of Schools was Atiya Perkins was and Board of Education President is Marlene Berghammer.

Yeah. Okay. There you go.

So, there's everybody.

Democrats are begging Kamala Harris to get out there and do more interviews before she runs out of time. The public needs to hear directly from her and her strategy of avoiding the media is no longer working. It's a dog race, man. We have a dog race. And so the argument, one group of people in the Democratic party is saying she's just not good in front of a camera. That when she's in front of a camera word salad spews out. She doesn't sound intelligent. This is her own party. This is the division in her own party. The other part, and that we ought to keep her out of the limelight. Media should not be able to talk to her. The other group says, no, she's very personable and they need to see her more. They need to see her in a relaxed situation. Right now, the word salad people are winning because they're keeping her away from cameras.
