What progress? Businesses are shutting down left and right.
Is it her fault tho Dummy?
Yall will get yours, she is Genuinely trying to help the city of Oakland Stupid!!!
Oakland is so safe businesses are closing down and running.
Same thing are happening to LA and many other city shop closing down. Especially after that $20/hour wage increase in California.
she is an idiot
She's done nothing for Oakland . Who voted for this ?
DEI
She has been working hard for the City of Oakland. We just need to change our attitude and move to the Promise Land in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Amen.
50.1% of Oakland voters.
@@poodlescone9700 The percentage of voters is not the main purpose. The main point is what they have been working with Oakland and the city of the building so far from the beginning of since Mayor Thao been working with the County to make the city get better. People don't let intelligent people be their leaders because they can't control and do whatever they want. This is the reason why Oakland has bad records in the past and that shall be ashamed of ourself if we're smart people in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is greater, greater than He who are in us then he who are in the world. Greater, Greater Greater, Amen!!!,Amen!!!,Amen!!!
Wait, she said in her speech she's made progress in the last 18 months. I'm curious, what specific progress was made during those 18 months?
Is it me or is she giving the audience the death stare you think that she would’ve finally learned her lesson and started being a little more humble Lord oh Lord
It's for the court & judge to see!
No questions allowed:
'I'm your mayor.'
No questions allowed:
I don't care if she is innocent or not. She HAVE to go.....
SHE IS NOT GUILTY!!! Yall will get yours, she is Genuinely trying to help the city of Oakland!!!
@@BayAreaMusicVideosSTOP POSTING THE SAME COMMENT BOT
@@BayAreaMusicVideos she is not guilty. she is weak. she is taking orders from the governor.
Was she implying political persecution? We were told that could never happen.
The low and middle class hate her too though.
You gotta love that no one clapped when she finished - They were packed in the room like sardines and even her staff wants her gone. PRICELESS !
you mean she's not a working class hero?
And she will be hated anymore after that phoney solidarity speech, we see you. Just like she quickly trampled over the 15 people shot after lying about how crime is down, but goes on & on about she just can't catch a break, like WTH.
Behold corruption
Blah blah blah… GUILTY as hell 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
SHE IS NOT!!! Yall will get yours, she is Genuinely trying to help the city of Oakland!!!
@@BayAreaMusicVideosyes she is..wake the fck up...👺🤡
@@BayAreaMusicVideos yeah….. she helped herself real good there, buddy!!!
THIS GUY MUST WORK FOR HER SAME COMMENT OVER AND OVER
@@Johnnywalker-vq7kl Times are difficult. I won't mind getting paid good money to comment online as well. lol
This happens when you don't give 10% to the Big Guy!!
Your first priority is and was to keep Oakland citizens and businesses safe and secure and you have failed tremendously. You could have asked for help from Gov. Newsom and chose not to do it. Our safety and security is on you. The rest are excuses.
What makes you think Newsom’s going to help? They both want the same destruction of society and do the same political pandering.
you're stupid. she is taking orders directly from the governor.
She said How dare the FBI “raid a house without notice “ 😂. Uh … raids always happen without notice, that’s why it’s my called a “raid ”!
If the police are serving a warrant on you, they don't call you up beforehand. Because if they did, you'd be tempted to destroy evidence.
I love how they cut the video out because only one person clapped after her speech😂
The problem is that the people in Oakland just don’t like her?
This is big politics railroading the little guy. Lets see this thru to shed some light into the corruption.
So who is railroading whom, exactly?
@@Thomas23-tu8gj I only speak for the little guy such as myself. Most in politics and government railroad us and fleece our tax dollars. Let the light shine so all can see the truth.
yep. clearly she is weak and was taking orders from above. she was nothing more than a puppet.
What billionaires is she referring to? Why doesn't she mention her boyfriend or the duong family?
Ok. So she admits that there are campaign violations.
Where are the campaign violations? Pay to play? Lol. This is America still right?
@@TuanTran-h5f I guess we’ll find out. She admitted they exist. She just claims she’s the only one being targeted because she grew up poor. Please.
@@bonzo2842 you don't get it. Pay to play does exist. Was she apart of it? Who knows. The question is why are they singling out her. There's nothing wrong with pay to play. You just have to use the right words for it. It's called lobbying but when they want to smear you it's called pay to play. You seem like an intelligent person. You should understand this?
@@TuanTran-h5f we’ll see how it all plays out. The facts will come out eventually.
@@TuanTran-h5f she is the easiest target. corruption from the top down. they're all guilty. even the people who watched and did nothing are guilty as well.
"I'm your mayor, mayor Sheng Thao"
This is not a movie. You're not the main character.
Oakland needs help. Please just step down.
We're Hmong in united state supports you 100% Sheng Good luck...🎉🎉🎉
I think all this had to do with discrimination. Due to our color...this is not fair not justice.
They never do anything wrong!
Chief of staff and the China commerce September is sketch
It started with the Duong family.
Sheng Thao loves to gamble. She’s a big time gambler according to a worker who works at the casino. Cache Creek is the name of the casino where she gamble.
She's hooked on the Buffaloooooo
What does that have to do with anything? Absolutely irrelevant comment and sound like the kind of gossip passed around in junior high.
Wow!
@@eponymousIme Sad but true - Dont know why Shen brags about it. Must be huge EGO
As a Mayor you are held at a higher standard. Gambling is a hindrance that speaks to her character and her capabilities
STEALING YOUR MONEY FIRE HER
Ok Sheng, we'll be watching.
Just resign. Stop playing the victim card.
Smell ya in court, former mayor Thao.
Guilty for corruption and malpractice of the politics.
You should ask Attorney General to investigate, Sheng Thao 👍👍👍
Donald Trump is the reason this is happening 😊
She Should Resign NOW! "Get Out and Stay Out"
Beijing says what?🥱...... 🇵🇹🇧🇷🇵🇷
I have done nothing Wong says mayor sum ting Wong your new police chief isn’t making a dent on crime oh geez cry me a river every politician is corrupt and your no exception they didn’t pick your name out of a hat they had a reason now start doing your job because for the last 18 months you have not
weird vibe
Always leaving the laundry detergent on the playground.
Mayor Sheng
kuv oab koj chim kawg. ntseeg tias yog koj yog neeg meskas yeej tsi muaj tej teeb meem ko li nawb tab sus vim yus yog hmoob ces tsi nyiam xwb. kuv tau ua hauj lwm rau meskas lawm yog lawv tsi nyiam yus ces kawv txhob txwm ua rau yus li nawb
This is what progress looks like ? Why listen to a scripted response? Why play the blame game? Look in the mirror.
She looks pretty stressed out like she has something to hide besides herself
You got caught.
Ktvu doesn't like her either, because she nevers answers questions. But now she wantsto wax poetic? Girl Please, she is phoney too.
Sounds like Biden, no questions allowed
Said she will be continuing doing things for oakland but never listed any accomplishments, now shes playing the victim
Please give me break!!
Stay Strong Mayor Sheng Thao!
She is right. No charges filed, yet Haters claim Guilty until proven Innocent. Instead of Innocent until proven Guilty.
She is guilty.😂😂😂😂
@@1spun716 That is why you are a Hater.
Do you live here?
@@tinab6295 Bay Area Native, Yes.
She should resign for doing a bad job! Period!
Hmong people are behind you. We support Sheng Thao!!
The Duong family is also behind you. Now bend over....
No they dont.
I am hmong and i do not
The FBI never discusses their raids, mayor.
Is she responsible for defunding a lot of the Oakland police force?
No. "Defund the police" is just rhetoric.
Any connection to China?
She'll take a plea blaming her addiction. Her gambling addiction.
She knows exactly what probable cause the FBI had, because that's in the warrant. Her lawyer definitely has a copy of that warrant.
The warrant just has the location they're searching and the things they're looking for. The warrant affidavit would list out the PC for the offense(s) and why they feel they would find evidence of it at her house. They often seal the affidavit initially, they'll have to share it later with the defense prior to trial.
Yes, but she won’t tell you that. It’s like I don’t know.
And her former staff member who snitched on her, explained it to her when she talked to her on the phone.
Her lawyer dropped her dumba**
What lawyer? He quit.
“A big right wing conspiracy” 🙄
Her left wing cronies are leaving her holding the bag and letting her take the fall... she seems vindictive and wants to pull some fellow Dems down with her but FBI running cover....that's im reading between the lines and on her pissed off face
It probably is....
@@Mission404JW spoken like a true leftist. blame without proof. great job!!!
🤣 demorats have excuses on top of that
She’s blaming the right wing for the raid? 😂
right
😂😂😂
Easiest thing for politicians. Blame the other side. They’re all crooked
"Progressives" play the right wing card when they have run out of other excuses.
😂😂😂😂 Obiden to controls the doj and FBI,not Trump Wang
Follow the money.............
The mayor will not respond to questions? Yes that’s what guilty people do.
No, that's what law is. We are in USA, not China.
You’re right. We are in the U.S. The Federal government does not come out in force over nothing. Considering her own party’s FBI is raiding her, she is under a ton of criminal behavior.
I agree and she is 5 days too late with a press conference.
Smells like some BS to me. Deflecting and pretending like you don't know exactly what the raid was about LMAO.
It’s all BS!
Wow she hid for 3 days to compose this cray cray speech blaming rich folks and San Francisco. “Oakland you’re gonna get it!” Is what she’s saying with death stare
Those rich folks in those areas are woke socialist libs! They’re the ones that put her low expectations @ss in that position in the first place. Her attacking like that is just “catch phrase” bs, acting like a victim 101. You Asian, you did not go through the huddles like me and my people and it ain’t an an excuse anyhow!
Accountability is kryptonite
She did not hide, I heard from her speech she care for her family safety. She wants to protect them first hand.
@@xalee7947 You brain slime spill.
She probably hid for 3 days to hide her mess
How long until the comments are turned off?
You gotta love that no one clapped when she finished - They were packed in the room like sardines and even her staff wants her gone. PRICELESS !
KTVU is pretty good about that but the other local stations keep them shut-off so they don't get ragged-on themselves.
give it a couple more minutes 😂
She is basically saying that I committed campaign fraud, however, others did too! Haha
The house of cards are falling. Starting from Nancy to Zoe loegaff
Camping fraud you say? Haha
No wonder Oakland is so bad, starts at the top , she sounded so fake , get rid of her and get an honest hard working person in there to clean the streets
Is Don Perata still available?
All politicians become corrupt.
She is acting like a criminal.
SHE IS NOT!!! Yall will get yours, she is Genuinely trying to help the city of Oakland!!
@@BayAreaMusicVideos She is looking very sneaky during news conference.
@@BayAreaMusicVideos I don't think Oakland can stand any more of her "help".
Whyte and African Americans betrayed and conspired against her. Blind
She's acting like someone who can't place the blame where it really lies... the backstabbing black Marxists taking over the Oakland government.
It's Trump's fault. Duh.
And Russia
That gets three snaps
Its biden fault Duh
You done!
*RECALL SHENG THAU NOW OUT OF U.S. OFFICE EMPLOYMENT PERMANENTLY!!!!!*
She said she’s going to be transparent, yet she doesn’t want to take questions. If you have nothing to hide, take questions and don’t hide behind your attorneys.
yup
She could have had her lawyer next to her, and before she answered any questions she could have looked at the lawyer. The lawyer could've responded that she can't answer that when appropriate. That would be transparent.
If FBI comes to you, it definitely means something. FBI will not take action without solid evidence.
Resign while you have some of your dignity left and practice stating "I plead the fifth" over and over while you have time.
You gotta love that no one clapped when she finished - They were packed in the room like sardines and even her staff wants her gone. PRICELESS !
RESIGN NOW!!! Sheng Thao has gotta go!!! Totally inept & corrupt politician.....
She’s incompetent.
@@tommyparkerparker - totally incompetent. Oakland deserves much better leadership...
She is way over her head...
she is doing a HORRIBLE JOB, from day One. She is allowing the city to continue to decline. Its a living hell here, and she is doing absolutely nothing about it. Look at her smug face the whole "Whoa is Me".. no WHOA IS OAKLAND, get the F out the way lady for the love of Christ.. NO WE REALLY SEE YOU Sheng, we see you
She watched Michael Douglas’ speech in The American President and tried to deliver w/ the same tone.
and Bill Clintons when he denied banging Monica lol.
Hahah I was thinking same!
Woo Chile.
At least she does her research before a speech lol
Sheng Thao has an Americanized sounding voice. She doesn't have a foreign Asian accent.
Ohhh lady you’re soooo screwed!
Politicians BS everyone at all times. 🖕🏽Shang Thao. Resign and let the people of Oakland elect someone that wants to work and not run and hide.
guilty
SHE IS NOT!!! Yall will get yours, she is Genuinely trying to help the city of Oakland!!!
@@BayAreaMusicVideos She knew who she was dealing with now she wants to play DUMB. We seen this before
"I am sickened"........then do something about it!!!!!
She should be sickened at her husband boyfriend. For running his rat mouth 👄
She is sickened that she got caught and that she is being treated like she treats her constituents
Pretty dumb to do this. "You have the right to remain silent! Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law"
Who the hell was that one person that clapped after her blah blah blah? 😂😂😂
Promising jobs and affordable apartments in return for "donations"is illegal.
The problem is that the people in Oakland just don’t like her?
"I am innocent" those are always famous last words.
Be strong Sheng, the truth will reveal.
She’s competing with The Super Mayor for the worst mayor in America!
"we should all be concerned?"..... nah....you need to be concerned 😂
We'll see about that
I’m sure the ex Oakland police chief is laughing now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hardest thing I’ve had to sit through in a whike
Damn you Fox News!
Translation: I have done something wrong.
she forgot to bring a tissue
Boohoo way to be strong lol
Career over
This is not the behavior or words of a guilty person.
She said How dare the FBI “raid a house without notice “ 😂. Uh … raids always happen without notice, that’s why it’s my called a “raid ”!
*Raid
@@slomo4672Oops lol
She doesn’t know what the word RAIDS mean??? She is implying FBI doesn’t respect her as the mayor of Oakland? Hahahahhahahhahahahahha!
you are a mother?!?!?! shiiiiit.........
The Duong’s got raided and they’re super rich. As for those rich politicians sitting safely at their homes in the hills, I don’t think anyone in the Oakland area feels safe in their home Mayor Thao.
Fromchouavangchuemeng
Kick her put of the office. She's done absolutely nothing positive for Oakland.
Crook mayor’s office
What about the homeless community? They offer them shelter they say but they if they don’t take it there’s no choice about the opportunity of a conversation. This is exactly how I felt for the homeless community. do you know how they feel about that?. They leave you no choice or you leave them with no choice. 😢
I don't really like the Mayor either, but in fairness to the facts- I questioned some of the oddly-dressed petition canvassers at Lake Merritt and found that they had driven up from Los Angeles just to collect signatures to recall another city's mayor... It took a lot of questioning and they were totally evasive. Its odd no matter how anyone tries to explain it... So, I don't think Thao is wrong about the billionaire effort to oust her; but that does NOT mean she's doing a good job... Also a reminder that Thao was elected on rank-choice style voting... There are a lot of things wrong in Oakland; I don't think Sheng Thao has the perspective to succeed as mayor of Oakland. Its a tough job!
She got caught and knows she is going to prison.
SHE IS NOT!!! Yall will get yours, she is Genuinely trying to help the city of Oakland!!!
@@BayAreaMusicVideosget yours?
