The Democratic Party of your parents is gone. Heck, the Democratic Party is being eaten alive by people who openly hate America. These are not people who are hiding the ball. These revolutionaries openly advocate for abolishing all prisons. Abolishing ICE, abolishing the Department of Defense, limitless immigration, no limits on immigration, taxpayer funded abortion for all.

00:00:00.000 The communist America hating revolution isn't coming.
00:00:03.000 It's here.
00:00:03.000 Last night, the New York congressional primaries turned third worldist America hating New York mayor Zoran Mandani into an electoral kingmaker.
00:00:10.000 A series of his endorsed candidates defeated very liberal Democrats and replaced them with outright commies, terrorist endorsers, fans of criminality, and America haters.
00:00:19.000 These candidates make Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi look like right wing American patriots.
00:00:29.000 Folks, the Democratic Party of your parents is gone.
00:00:32.000 Heck, the Democratic Party of 10 years ago.
00:00:35.000 Is gone.
00:00:35.000 It is being eaten alive by people who openly hate America.
00:00:38.000 Openly hate America.
00:00:39.000 Again, these are not people who are hiding the ball.
00:00:42.000 These revolutionaries openly advocate for abolishing all prisons.
00:00:45.000 Like, yes, all prisons.
00:00:47.000 Abolishing prisons.
00:00:48.000 Abolishing ICE.
00:00:49.000 Abolishing our entire Department of Defense. 1.00
00:00:52.000 They want limitless taxation, transing the kids as a matter of course, limitless immigration. 0.99
00:00:57.000 No limits on immigration, taxpayer funded abortion for all.
00:01:00.000 They see America as fundamentally evil and our allies as genocidal and our enemies, people who wish to kill Americans, as heroic.
00:01:07.000 I wish I were exaggerating.
00:01:08.000 I really wish I were.
00:01:09.000 But last night in New York City, people who believe all of these things and say them openly swept very left wing Democrats out of office in the primaries.
00:01:17.000 Okay, so I can hear you saying it.
00:01:19.000 That's just New York.
00:01:20.000 New York is going to New York.
00:01:21.000 Let New York, New York.
00:01:22.000 Why should we care?
00:01:23.000 Well, here's the thing this is all part of a very clever and concerted strategy by the far left, the Democratic Socialists of America, to take over the Democratic Party, to eat it, and then to take over the country.
00:01:35.000 And this is a multi step process.
00:01:37.000 So, step one.
00:01:38.000 And again, this is a revolutionary process that has been carried out before in countries that are not the United States. 0.81
00:01:44.000 Step one, eat the quote unquote normie party, eat the Mensheviks. 0.57
00:01:48.000 So the Communist Party in pre-Soviet Russia was comprised of the communists, right? 0.67
00:01:54.000 The Bolsheviks and other communists called Mensheviks.
00:01:57.000 The Bolsheviks were run by Vladimir Lenin.
00:02:00.000 The goal is when you are running a revolution to take over very, very blue areas with insane radicals and then purge the people who are sort of the regular far leftist. 0.82
00:02:09.000 So the Bolsheviks have to purge the Mensheviks. 0.76
00:02:13.000 The founder of Soviet communism, Vladimir Lenin, an idol to Hassan Piker and Tsar Mamdani, he said, The party must be purged of rascals, of bureaucratic, dishonest, or wavering communists, of Mensheviks who have repainted their facade, but who have remained Mensheviks at heart. 0.76
00:02:26.000 Again, the idea here is that typical Democrats are bad and typical Democrats are the chief target.
00:02:31.000 Understand, the radicals hate the traditional left folks more than they hate the right because they see them as obstacles to power.
00:02:38.000 If they can purge those people, if they can get rid of the very, very left wing Democrats in Congress and replace them with people who are even more left wing, Then they have a beachhead.
00:02:48.000 So, what you do is you start with a very, very blue area.
00:02:51.000 You start with an area like Brooklyn.
00:02:53.000 You start with areas that are located inside Manhattan, the commie corridor.
00:02:58.000 You start with those places.
00:02:59.000 You get rid of the people who are very, very far left and you replace them with actual America hating communists.
00:03:03.000 And now you have your beachhead.
00:03:05.000 They can use this as a place from which to expand.
00:03:08.000 Step two is you claim victory.
00:03:11.000 You treat the takeover of these areas as indicative of sort of a broad national upsurge in radical left wing sentiment.
00:03:17.000 So, you claim that you've taken over the whole party.
00:03:19.000 And then you threaten the normal leftists in your coalition.
00:03:22.000 Again, this is the sort of thing that Lenin would do.
00:03:25.000 Lenin famously labeled his opponents Mensheviks.
00:03:27.000 In Russian, that meant the minority faction.
00:03:29.000 And he claimed that his faction was the Bolsheviks, meaning the majority faction, even though his faction was actually less popular in Russia than the Mensheviks.
00:03:37.000 Again, the idea is to create a false sense of popularity.
00:03:40.000 Same deal now.
00:03:42.000 So, again, what the DSA is doing is they are taking over extremely blue districts with low vote totals.
00:03:48.000 And then they are claiming that they have the run of the place.
00:03:51.000 That the momentum is with them.
00:03:52.000 And you repeat it over and over and over.
00:03:53.000 You let social media run with it.
00:03:55.000 And young people who live online actually start to believe it because if you are online all day long and you just see clips over and over and over of Zoran Momdani and people cheering Zoran Momdani and people cheering Brad Lander and people who are cheering these various psychotic candidates like Dari Elisa Chevalier, and you see that over and over.
00:04:12.000 This is the wave of the future.
00:04:13.000 This is where we are going.
00:04:15.000 If you live online, if your life is online, you start to believe it that the radical left is the wave of the future.
00:04:19.000 And the stuff is aimed at the kids.
00:04:21.000 Understand, that is what it is aimed at.
00:04:23.000 It is aimed directly at 12 to 30 year olds.
00:04:25.000 It's a TikTok indoctrination campaign.
00:04:28.000 This is not a political game for this election cycle alone.
00:04:31.000 This is how you turn a minority part of the Democratic Party, sort of Bernie Sanders psychotic wing, into the controlling faction of the Democratic Party.
00:04:39.000 You start off by saying that there is a silent majority that supports you, and then you get very loud online.
00:04:45.000 And even louder, you win a couple of primaries, you claim that you have the momentum, and momentum is the name of the game.
00:04:50.000 These folks are playing for a full scale revolution among people too young to know better and too impressionable to understand that reality exists offline.
00:04:57.000 So, step two.
00:04:58.000 Is again, you claim victory.
00:05:00.000 Step three is you cow the moderates.
00:05:01.000 This is where you threaten everybody who's a normal leftist that you'll come for them too.
00:05:06.000 And then you let them cave to you.
00:05:08.000 You make them feel like they are insufficiently committed to the cause.
00:05:12.000 Again, this has a long history.
00:05:15.000 Dostoevsky predicted this in a book called The Demons or The Possessed.
00:05:19.000 Revolutionary characters in that book, who are supposed to be precursors to the communists, they muse about the possibility of cutting off 100 million heads.
00:05:27.000 And one of the radicals says that it wouldn't be hard to convince normal liberals to go along with them.
00:05:33.000 He says, I could make them go through fire.
00:05:35.000 One only has to din it into them.
00:05:37.000 They're not advanced enough.
00:05:38.000 Again, the idea is that Zorhan Mamdani is a thought leader.
00:05:41.000 Bernie Sanders is a thought leader.
00:05:44.000 Chevalier is a thought leader.
00:05:45.000 Lander is a thought leader.
00:05:46.000 And the real problem with them is that they're too committed.
00:05:49.000 They just love the truth and decency too much.
00:05:55.000 They love justice too much.
00:05:57.000 They're not practical enough, but their principles are right.
00:05:57.000 Yeah, sure.
00:06:00.000 Their heart's in the right place.
00:06:02.000 It's not hard for the radicals to get Hakeem Jeffries.
00:06:05.000 Or Nancy Pelosi, or all the rest to say that it's important to side with the DSA.
00:06:09.000 All you have to do is say, what are you going to do?
00:06:11.000 Cave to the evil Trump Republicans?
00:06:14.000 If you force the normal left to choose between Trump voters and the DSA, they will choose the DSA.
00:06:20.000 And then, step four, you rinse and repeat.
00:06:23.000 So, we're all sitting here going, okay, fine, let them try it.
00:06:26.000 Let them try to run AOC on a national level. 1.00
00:06:29.000 They'll lose because the vast majority of Americans don't believe this crap. 0.99
00:06:32.000 But that's not the point. 0.99
00:06:33.000 If you lose, you just repeat steps one through three.
00:06:36.000 Again, the chief target here is not the right yet.
00:06:39.000 The chief target right now is the normie left.
00:06:42.000 If you can attack the so called normie left here and you can destroy them, then you will take over one of the major parties.
00:06:48.000 If you have a stranglehold on a major party, every major party in the United States, Democrat, Republican, doesn't matter, you have at least a 40% shot of winning national power.
00:06:57.000 And then all you have to do is wait for your opponent to fall over face first.
00:07:02.000 It's essentially what Donald Trump did.
00:07:03.000 In 2016, people did not like Barack Obama and they really didn't like Hillary Clinton.
00:07:07.000 And you can stroll into power.
00:07:09.000 No matter how much people write you off, take over any party and you are one step away from taking over the country.
00:07:14.000 In other words, President AOC is not some sort of remote possibility.
00:07:17.000 It is becoming quite possible.
00:07:19.000 And that's what was happening last night in New York City.
00:07:21.000 It's why it's important.
00:07:22.000 It's why it affects you.
00:07:23.000 It affects your kids and it affects the country.
00:07:25.000 If you're not concerned, if you are not actually terrified by what's going on in New York and the willingness of the media to play into this, the momentum is all with the DSA, the Democratic Party. 0.85
00:07:37.000 We definitely have to go along with the Graham Plattners and the Abdul El Sayed and the Zoram Mamdani. 0.90
00:07:42.000 They're the wave of the future. 0.99
00:07:43.000 If you're not terrified by that, it's because you don't understand the game.
00:07:48.000 Now, Democrats are basically begging the DSA not to wreck them.
00:07:52.000 Too late, Madudes.
00:07:53.000 You could have stopped them, but you didn't. 0.99
00:07:55.000 Jamie Harrison is the former DNC chair.
00:07:58.000 And last night, he put out what I thought was honestly, is it this kind of plaintive, kind of sad tweet?
00:08:03.000 He said, I say this with no ill will or animosity.
00:08:05.000 If you hate the Democratic Party, please don't run for a nomination.
00:08:08.000 Don't use our resources.
00:08:09.000 Don't rely on our volunteers.
00:08:11.000 Don't use our infrastructure.
00:08:12.000 Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
00:08:15.000 Focus on building the party you actually support.
00:08:17.000 Political parties aren't perfect, but they're built by millions of people who knock doors, make calls, organize meetings, and fight for the values they believe in.
00:08:23.000 If you don't believe in the party, don't ask its members to carry you across the finish line.
00:08:28.000 Okay, a little late, my dude.
00:08:31.000 A little late.
00:08:32.000 That's not going to work.
00:08:34.000 That's their entire tactic.
00:08:36.000 The entire tactic is take over and eat the Democratic Party. 0.84
00:08:41.000 Again, there's a sort of famous meme online that people vote for the leopards eating people's faces party, and now it's eating your face. 0.80
00:08:49.000 I didn't mean my face.
00:08:50.000 Okay, well, you guys humored this.
00:08:53.000 Gave this the green light.
00:08:55.000 You guys tolerated Bernie Sanders.
00:08:56.000 You guys treated him as a normal part of the coalition.
00:09:00.000 And now the revolutionary splinter cell is eating you guys alive and wearing your skin around as a face mask, like Buffalo Bill.
00:09:07.000 That is where you are right now.
00:09:09.000 All righty, coming up, we'll get to what actually happened in New York.
00:09:12.000 It was a terrible night for America.
00:09:13.000 First, if you're running a business, your attention is constantly being pulled in 100 different directions.
00:09:18.000 There's a lot going on every single day.
00:09:20.000 You got to figure out where your customers are, how do you get your product to your customers, what services do you need to provide.
00:09:26.000 There's a lot going on.
00:09:27.000 But the reality is, the thing you haven't looked at recently, those systems quietly running in the background until you have some sort of problem.
00:09:36.000 And that's why I want to tell you about SuperSure.
00:09:37.000 Whether you're the owner, CFO, or HR manager of a company with more than 25 employees, listen up.
00:09:42.000 SuperSure is a super agency built specifically for businesses that need more than a one time insurance transaction.
00:09:48.000 They're licensed in every state for both business insurance and employee benefits.
00:09:52.000 They provide year round support for you and your team at no additional cost.
00:09:55.000 Their fine print facts tool translates your current policy into plain English so you can actually understand what's covered, what's not covered.
00:10:01.000 And where there may be gaps.
00:10:02.000 They also offer a business value calculator so you can estimate what your business is worth.
00:10:06.000 Because when you've spent years building something, it's worth taking the time to understand exactly how it's protected.
00:10:11.000 Head on over to supersure.comslash Shapiro.
00:10:13.000 That's supersure.comslash Shapiro.
00:10:16.000 One super agency, one powerful platform, all your policies in just one place.
00:10:19.000 Again, that's supersure.comslash Shapiro, paid for by Supersure Insurance Agency LLC, a licensed insurance agency.
00:10:26.000 So, what actually happened last night?
00:10:29.000 Well, Zar Mamdani, who again is taking advantage of his Platform as New York mayor in order to consolidate the rule of the DSA. 0.58
00:10:37.000 He put out an ad literally during the finals of the NBA finals in which he promoted these three truly psychotic candidates Daria Lisa Chevalier in the New York 13th, Brad Lander in the New York 10th, and Claire Valdez in the New York 7th.
00:10:56.000 Here was the ad that actually aired during the NBA finals.
00:11:00.000 New York, we know anything's possible with a great team.
00:11:04.000 I'm Brad Lander, and I'll block billionaires from buying our elections.
00:11:09.000 I'm Marielisa Avila Chevalier, and I'll defend New York by abolishing ICE.
00:11:13.000 I'm Claire Valdez, and I'll stand up against bad landlords and greedy corporations.
00:11:18.000 Get out and vote.
00:11:20.000 This is the team.
00:11:22.000 This is our year.
00:11:25.000 Again, that was his team, and this was their year, and all the rest of it.
00:11:27.000 Okay, all of those candidates won.
00:11:29.000 All those candidates won.
00:11:32.000 And so Mamdani is, of course, claiming victory.
00:11:35.000 He says that last June was not an anomaly, it was the beginning.
00:11:35.000 Right?
00:11:37.000 Right?
00:11:37.000 Again, step one is.
00:11:39.000 Eat the face of the party.
00:11:40.000 Step two is claim that you are the beginning of a movement and now you have the power.
00:11:44.000 You're the captain now.
00:11:47.000 We are showing that last June, a year ago tomorrow, was not an anomaly.
00:11:58.000 It was not the end.
00:12:01.000 It was the beginning.
00:12:02.000 Okay, again, this is the pitch.
00:12:09.000 This is the game.
00:12:09.000 Step one, eat the party.
00:12:11.000 Step two, claim victory.
00:12:13.000 Here he was at the New York 7 victory party last night, Zorhan Mamdani.
00:12:16.000 Again, a terrorist supporter who has never held a real job in his life and somehow vaulted his way to the New York mayoralty on the basis of some very slickly produced TikTok content and media love.
00:12:39.000 I know many of you have been canvassing for months.
00:12:45.000 And at those canvasses, at those fundraisers, at those events, when we introduce our candidates, we use a language of hope.
00:12:57.000 We say, the next assembly member, the next state senator, the next congressperson.
00:13:02.000 Tonight, we use a language of fact.
00:13:06.000 Okay, again, this is where they're going.
00:13:08.000 So, who are these candidates?
00:13:09.000 Because you're sitting there and you're saying, You know, Ben, maybe you're exaggerating.
00:13:12.000 You know, you've always been anti Nancy Pelosi and you've always been ripping on Barack Obama and ripping on Joe Biden and all the rest and Kamala Harris.
00:13:20.000 What makes these people different?
00:13:21.000 Okay, this is a difference in degree that is akin to a difference in kind. 1.00
00:13:26.000 Again, these people make Nancy Pelosi look like she is a right wing Republican. 1.00
00:13:32.000 So in the New York 13th District last night, a person named Daria Lisa Chevalier defeated a representative named Adriano Espayat.
00:13:40.000 Chevalier is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America.
00:13:43.000 The DSA wishes to disestablish the American government.
00:13:46.000 That is not an exaggeration.
00:13:48.000 This is a thing they say.
00:13:50.000 Now, again, this was not a member of the DSA defeating a Republican. 0.86
00:13:53.000 So, this wasn't some sort of binary choice between a Trump pick and a crazy left winger. 0.90
00:13:57.000 And so, New Yorkers went with the crazy left winger. 0.85
00:14:00.000 Understand the whole thing here is the DSA and the far left eating the left.
00:14:06.000 Espayat is one of the most left wing members of the Congressional Caucus.
00:14:10.000 Espayat has the same voting record as Pramila Jayapal, the head of the Progressive Congressional Caucus. 0.74
00:14:16.000 Now, the rip, again, this is what they use as the litmus test, is that he wasn't anti Israel enough.
00:14:21.000 That is always just the excuse.
00:14:22.000 Because, again, every critique that people like Chevalier use against Israel are also leveled at America.
00:14:30.000 She despises America.
00:14:31.000 She was a co founder of the Columbia University Apartheid Divest. 0.80
00:14:35.000 You remember Columbia University Apartheid Divest? 0.87
00:14:37.000 That was Mahmoud Khalil. 1.00
00:14:39.000 It called for total eradication of Western civilization and seeking, quote, community and instruction from the global South. 0.81
00:14:45.000 This person is now going to sit in Congress.
00:14:47.000 She was the co founder of a group that called for violence against America.
00:14:51.000 She despises everything about America.
00:14:53.000 It's free markets, it's supposed racism, it's supposed settler colonialism, all the like. 0.88
00:14:56.000 Everything she says about Israel, she means about America, and she will say so.
00:15:01.000 Again, these people make Nancy Pelosi look like a pickup truck driving, flag waving Trump three time voter. 1.00
00:15:08.000 Her actual platform includes health care as human rights, universal basic income, four day work week, abolition of ICE, housing for all. 1.00
00:15:19.000 Medicare for all, free college, criminalizing corporations from, quote, price gouging consumers, so price controls, breaking up Amazon and Facebook as monopolies, building unions everywhere, and a federal moratorium on AI data centers.
00:15:33.000 Those were all the parts of her actual platform.
00:15:38.000 From 2018 to 2022, she deleted some 3,600 tweets, according to CNN. 0.97
00:15:47.000 In 2021, she shared a message declaring, quote, all pigs everywhere are haram. 0.96
00:15:53.000 She is a Muslim convert, by the way. 1.00
00:15:58.000 She wrote in April 2020, she reposted This is for the DNC, you big, fraudulent, white, nasty status quo. 1.00
00:16:05.000 Why you took Bernie off the MF and race with your trifling, dirty, voter suppressing ass, you holding elections during a pandemic ass. 1.00
00:16:13.000 I don't even know what that means, but that's what she reposted. 1.00
00:16:17.000 She posted in September 2021, I have no nuance to add, F Kamala Harris.
00:16:24.000 She reposted in September 2021 A world without borders, just like a world without prisons or police, is possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward.
00:16:31.000 Yes, a person is going to sit in Congress who believes in a world without borders or prisons or police.
00:16:36.000 Repeatedly posted messages saying to abolish the border and all deportation is wrong.
00:16:43.000 She wrote in 2019 seize the means of production, which is just open communism.
00:16:49.000 Here she was explaining that the way she came to democratic socialism isn't because she's economically Marxist, it's because of racism or some such.
00:17:00.000 I came to my politics of socialism, of democratic socialism, through a race lens, right?
00:17:08.000 I was.
00:17:10.000 Doing a lot of reading of the Black radical tradition.
00:17:13.000 I was doing a lot of organizing around ending mass incarceration, around immigration justice.
00:17:18.000 I was part of BYP 100, Black Youth Project 100, Families for Freedom, doing immigration justice organizing, and a number of other organizations around racial justice and economic justice.
00:17:30.000 And even my research, my doctoral research, is around a lot of these issues.
00:17:36.000 And for me, racial justice and economic justice have always been inextricable.
00:17:43.000 And that is how I came to a politics of socialism, right?
00:17:48.000 Ah, the way that she came to socialism is because, quote unquote, America is racist.
00:17:51.000 I mean, that's where she is.
00:17:53.000 She also says, of course, that all deportations are wrong, all of them.
00:17:56.000 This person is going to be sitting in Congress.
00:17:59.000 Frankly, I think there are pretty good grounds for Congress preemptively barring her, given the fact that she hates the country so much.
00:18:04.000 But here we go.
00:18:07.000 Is that something you still believe?
00:18:08.000 That phrase, yes.
00:18:09.000 I still believe that all deportations are wrong.
00:18:12.000 Even if we're talking about.
00:18:14.000 Illegal entry to the country or someone who may have committed a crime?
00:18:17.000 So, when we're talking about things like illegal entry, we're actually talking about administrative laws, right?
00:18:23.000 We're not talking about criminal law.
00:18:25.000 And we really need to have an understanding of what it is that we are doing when we say that people who are non citizens, who have a different status based on where they were born, why they should endure an additional form of punishment when they have already gone through the criminal system.
00:18:46.000 Okay, so she then continued in a New York editorial board interview.
00:18:50.000 Quote, you know, for prison abolitionists, I think a lot of folks misunderstand what that vision of the world actually is.
00:18:56.000 It's one that actually centers this question of harm.
00:18:58.000 At the heart of what we're asking is, what?
00:19:00.000 Why is there so much harm in our society?
00:19:03.000 So get rid of the prisons.
00:19:05.000 Also, she says, she was asked, what do you do to the murderer?
00:19:09.000 And she says, well, I'm trying to answer the question.
00:19:12.000 What we do is that we then put people behind bars in incredibly traumatizing conditions in a context Where they cannot actually reflect on the harm that they caused or feel any remorse on that because they're just trying to survive inside.
00:19:22.000 They're being re traumatized day after day.
00:19:27.000 And then she says, you know, again, I'm talking about this question between the distance between the world we want to see and the world that we're at.
00:19:36.000 So, again, against prisons, no prisons.
00:19:40.000 She also suggests that Palestine, again, the center of all third worldism is this idea that the Palestinians are eternal victims.
00:19:51.000 And you have to liken them to blacks and Latinos in the United States, who, of course, are also eternal victims according to the racial left. 0.93
00:19:57.000 Here she was comparing Palestinians to blacks and Latinos, which is weird because blacks and Latinos aren't blowing themselves up in coffee shops or, you know, running across borders and murdering 1,200 people. 0.98
00:20:07.000 So there's that. 0.98
00:20:08.000 But she says they're the same.
00:20:11.000 I saw so many connections between what was happening to Palestinians there in Palestine and what was happening to so many communities across the U.S., particularly black and Latino communities who have been. 0.96
00:20:23.000 Priced out and pushed out of our homes.
00:20:25.000 When we talk about displacement in the West Bank or in Gaza, it is a very similar, visually similar situation where people who have been in a place for generations are being displaced because of corporate interests, because of folks who are coming in, claiming the land, and buying it up and kicking the people who live there out.
00:20:46.000 And I've seen a lot of similarities, not just in the way things are done, but also in the very institutions that are enacting that violence.
00:20:53.000 The tear gas that was being dropped on Palestinians in Gaza in 2014 was the same tear gas that was being dropped.
00:20:59.000 On black protesters in Ferguson in 2014.
00:21:02.000 And that memory that summer for me was incredibly formative because it showed me that connection is not only one that is like, but it is the very same system.
00:21:12.000 Again, remember, when they say that they are just campaigning on Israel, they are campaigning on how much they hate America.
00:21:16.000 They're just replacing the word America with Israel because it's more palatable politically.
00:21:20.000 But they despise the country.
00:21:22.000 This lady despises, I mean, when I say she despises the country, I mean, she literally tweeted December 23rd, 2019 I forgot to get napkins, so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me.
00:21:35.000 These are the people.
00:21:36.000 These are the people who just got elected to Congress because they just won a Democratic primary.
00:21:40.000 Think about this for a second.
00:21:42.000 No matter where you grew up in America, there are certain things almost everybody recognizes Little League games on a Saturday afternoon, a family barbecue in the backyard, road trips, the cooler in the backseat, a high school football game under the lights, different states, different backgrounds, different traditions.
00:21:54.000 Some experiences are just part of American life.
00:21:57.000 And for generations, America's beverage companies have been right there in all of those moments.
00:22:01.000 The sodas, teas, sparkling water, sports drinks, other beverages that people have enjoyed for decades.
00:22:05.000 They're not just products.
00:22:06.000 They're part of countless family gatherings, celebrations, milestones, everyday moments.
00:22:10.000 Look back at your old family pictures.
00:22:11.000 You'll see them everywhere.
00:22:12.000 Behind those products are 275,000 hardworking men and women across all 50 states.
00:22:17.000 People working in manufacturing, distribution, trucking, production, countless other roles that help keep local communities strong.
00:22:23.000 For more than a century, America's beverage companies have continued investing in American workers and American hometowns.
00:22:29.000 That's something worth appreciating.
00:22:30.000 Learn more about how they're keeping America strong at WeDeliverForAmerica.org.
00:22:34.000 Again, that's WeDeliver.
00:22:36.000 For America.org.
00:22:37.000 America's beverage industries doing an amazing job for America.
00:22:41.000 We deliver for America.org.
00:22:43.000 Meanwhile, move over to District 10, where Brad Lander, who, again, just going to say something about people like Brad Lander. 0.65
00:22:49.000 So, Brad Lander will loudly proclaim that he is Jewish. 0.64
00:22:52.000 He is Jewish only in the sense that he was born into a Jewish family.
00:22:55.000 He has no relationship with Judaism. 0.91
00:22:56.000 He has no relationship with the Torah. 0.91
00:22:58.000 He has no relationship with Israel. 0.97
00:22:59.000 He has no relationship with anything of importance to Jews.
00:23:02.000 He calls himself a Jew so that he doesn't have to call himself a white guy.
00:23:05.000 That's all. 0.98
00:23:06.000 Brad Lander is the worst sort of human being for doing this sort of thing. 0.96
00:23:13.000 And standing on the fact that you were born into a Jewish family in order to side with people who hate Jews is an amazing, amazing feat of moral depravity. 0.97
00:23:25.000 But that's who Brad Lander is.
00:23:27.000 So he was running against a guy named Dan Goldman for Congress.
00:23:30.000 Now, Goldman is an incumbent, right?
00:23:33.000 Now, you may remember that Dan Goldman is a very, very far left congressperson, so far left that he managed Donald Trump's impeachment.
00:23:40.000 He essentially has the same voting record as Jasmine Crockett.
00:23:43.000 According to GovTrack, he's in the top 15% of left wing Democrats.
00:23:48.000 What was his sin?
00:23:48.000 Of course, his sin was he doesn't hate Israel enough.
00:23:50.000 Again, this is the test because understand in the same way that anti Semites like to use the word Zionist when they just mean Jew, far leftists like to use the word Israel when they just mean America.
00:24:01.000 Again, it doesn't mean that America and Israel are the same, they're not.
00:24:04.000 But every critique that they level against Israel is a critique they really want to say about America.
00:24:08.000 That's really the thing. 0.73
00:24:10.000 America is settler colonialist. 0.85
00:24:11.000 America is releasing the same tear gas that the Israelis would release. 0.97
00:24:15.000 America is an apartheid state. 1.00
00:24:16.000 America is brutal and vicious and terrible. 0.95
00:24:18.000 Or, as Zoramamdani put it, when the NYPD is putting its boot on a criminal, it's the IDF that's lacing that boot, right?
00:24:26.000 It's the exact same shtick. 0.56
00:24:28.000 That is the shtick.
00:24:30.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
