What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi Ariel Mizrahi’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Okay, good morning everyone and hub. Thank you for joining us on this uh beautiful Tuesday morning. And I say beautiful today with extra emphasis because um first of all it's not Tuesday. I'm sorry. It's Wednesday morning. [snorts] Um so first of all, thank you for joining us on this beautiful Wednesday morning and it's a beautiful Wednesday morning although we didn't wake up to such beautiful news and I think um this is obviously the question that's on our mind today. Um, you know, as we realized last night that we were going to get a communist mayor we were going to get a communist mayor in New York City, uh, an anti-semite, a jihadist, somebody who wants to globalize, um, you know, inif, somebody who has not condemned Hamas and on and on and on, all the negative things about this communist uh, socialist, whatever they want to call him, an anti-semite, a horrible person, a person with no experience, [snorts] and it's almost a joke that he won. Um, and so we're confused. We need today. Our children confused. We need today. Our children are looking to us for guidance. We are not sure what to say. What should be our response in times like these? You know, for me, the scariest thing is not so much that this guy is going to be the mayor, but [snorts] it's that there's a million New Yorkers that think that he should be the mayor. You know what I mean? There's like our neighbors. These are regular people. that are voting him, a million of them or however many voted. I don't I didn't see the numbers.
