00:01:38.000I cite this quote a lot from Barack Obama from his book, his first memoir, because he has, I think, three memoirs at this point Dreams for My Father in 2007.
00:01:48.000I have a bad habit of actually reading political memoirs because it actually tells you a lot about the politicians.
00:01:53.000He wrote this I have seen the desperation and disorder of the powerless, how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago's South Side.
00:02:03.000How narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair.
00:02:09.000I know the response of the powerful to this disorder, alternating as it does between a dull complacency and, when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines, a steady, unthinking application of force, of longer prison sentences, and more sophisticated military hardware is inadequate to the task.
00:02:23.000Again, that sentence could have been written by Zorhan Mamdani or by Chevalier or by any of the variety of Democratic Socialists of America candidates.
00:02:32.000That is the entire matrix of thinking there is that all suffering all over the world is the fault of evil capitalist free market systems.
00:02:40.000And that what you really need is an America that apologizes for its presence in the world, and that there is some sort of ideological solidarity between gang members on the south side of Chicago, who, after all, are victims of the system, and teens in Jakarta.
00:02:54.000There was a reason that Barack Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for decades, and that's because he agreed with Jeremiah Wright pretty obviously.
00:03:00.000There's also a reason that Barack Obama loves Mamdani, because Mamdani is Jeremiah Wright, except he's much more smarmy and younger and has a better beard.
00:03:09.000Bernie Sanders almost won the Democratic nomination in 2016, running against the Democratic Party as an open advocate of anti American socialism.
00:03:20.000Well, now that Obama Sanders coalition has turned into the Momdani coalition, and it's going to keep getting worse.
00:03:26.000Here, by the way, is what the Democratic Socialists of America actually believe.
00:03:30.000This is their new platform abolish the Senate, replace the President and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by and subordinate to the Congress, defund completely the Department of War.
00:03:43.000Abolish all prisons, free Palestine, of course, naturally, because, and this is the omni cause, and all complaints about Western civilization must be projected into love for a pseudo state that loves terrorism, loves it.
00:04:01.000End sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, naturally.
00:04:05.000Abolish ICE, grant amnesty for literally everyone to open borders, public ownership of all major corporations, and remake the elections nationwide.
00:04:15.000The ultimate goal, a Democrat socialist republic.
00:04:19.000And this is what their official platform.
00:04:20.000Now, in 2012, the DSA had 6,500 members.
00:04:24.000By February of this year, that was over 100,000.
00:04:27.000By the end of this year, it would be shocking if they don't have at least half a million registered members.
00:04:32.000Now, the thing that you're hearing from all of your sort of left wing friends and from your legacy media interlocutors is that the DSA, all these Democrat Socialists of America candidates, are winning based on affordability.
00:04:44.000See, they're saying the thing, they just keep saying affordability.
00:04:49.000They're winning primaries not based on affordability.
00:04:52.000When they get to a general, they might lie that they're running on affordability, but what's winning them primaries is a bunch of white college educated voters.
00:05:00.000So, for example, Darializa Chevalier, who is a complete psychotic anti American nutjob.
00:05:07.000She won her primary the other night with 32,790 votes.
00:05:12.000She won 50 to 60% of the votes among younger residents, majority college educated areas, and higher income areas.
00:05:18.000So it was richer, younger, college educated people.
00:05:23.000Her opponent, Adreno Aspayat, who's a sitting congressperson, won about 30,000 votes.
00:05:30.000And this congressperson won 50 to 55% of the votes among lower income areas and majority Hispanic areas.
00:05:36.000So, Again, Chevalier is not winning the low income areas.
00:05:40.000She is not winning the minority areas.
00:05:42.000She's winning college educated white people.
00:05:45.000Chevalier also did not win the public housing precincts.
00:05:49.000Espalier won St. Nick, which is apparently a public housing project in central Harlem, by 40, even as Chevalier won the greater neighborhood by 30 points.
00:05:59.000Overall, Espalier won New York City housing authority precincts by 24 points across the district.
00:06:34.000There's a Pew poll that came out just a week ago showing what the Democratic Party looks like.
00:06:41.000And what it shows, unsurprisingly, is that membership in the so called leftward progressives, the people who are the most left wing, the Democratic Socialist crowd, is highest among whites.
00:06:55.000Unsurprisingly, actually, among black voters who vote for Democrats, far and away, the biggest group is what you would call order and opportunity leftists, meaning people who are still fairly pro free market, people who want some immigration restrictions but don't want total deportation, people who are Relatively non socially leftist.
00:07:17.000And that is the biggest group among all Democrats, but among white people, disproportionately, they are far to the left.
00:07:31.000All right, coming up, Zoran Momdani and his Hate America crew are getting ready to take over, not just New York, but like the whole country.
00:07:39.000Imagine printing out your entire browsing history from the last 30 days, every website, every search, every article, every purchase.
00:07:45.000Now imagine signing your name at the bottom of it and pinning it to your front door for the whole neighborhood to read.
00:07:49.000Most people wouldn't do that because that would be incredibly stupid.
00:07:52.000In fact, most people would probably consider it invasive, unsettling.
00:07:55.000But online, that happens all the time.
00:07:57.000Internet providers can see the website you visit.
00:07:59.000Yes, even when you use incognito mode.
00:08:01.000In many countries, they're required to store records of online activity for years.
00:08:04.000In the United States, providers can legally sell your browsing data to third parties.
00:08:08.000This is one of the reasons I use ExpressVPN.
00:08:10.000ExpressVPN encrypts online activity before it even reaches your internet provider, meaning providers can't meaningfully see, record, share, or sell your browsing history.
00:08:18.000Because they never actually receive it in readable form to begin with.
00:08:21.000One of the reasons ExpressVPN works so well is that it's simple.
00:08:24.000One tap on your phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, your connection is secured because privacy should not be treated like suspicious behavior.
00:08:29.000Privacy is normal, privacy is healthy.
00:08:31.000Privacy is part of living in a free society.
00:08:33.000So, if you'd like to join me in fighting for the right to privacy, now would be the best time to do it because ExpressVPN is now available at just $349 a month.
00:08:40.000If you use my special link, you can get four extra months of service at ExpressVPN.comslashmen.
00:08:45.000That's EXPRESSVPN.comslashmen for four extra months of service.
00:08:56.000And the coalition is going to be national in nature.
00:09:00.000So here is Zar Mamdani, a career useless person, an absolute ingrate, a person who hates America as mayor of New York City, talking about how he's ready to be the face of the Democratic Party.
00:09:14.000I think we can see from each of these candidates that they have exactly what it takes to succeed.
00:09:18.000And we've heard from Republicans time and again that they're going to try and make these candidates the face of the Democratic Party.
00:09:25.000To them, I say that we are ready for that because for far too long, we have been told that it is not possible to fight for working people and win.
00:09:33.000These candidates have shown that they can.
00:09:34.000Let the Republicans talk about that more.
00:09:38.000Okay, so again, he is going to make the claim that this is the face of the Democrat.
00:09:41.000Okay, so that's the he pretends about affordability.
00:09:44.000As I just showed you, it's not about affordability.
00:09:46.000They're not winning primaries because they say affordability, they're winning primaries because they hate the country.
00:09:51.000Claire Valdez, who just won a congressional primary, this is the kind of stuff that she preaches in order to win a congressional primary.
00:09:58.000That the nation was founded on genocide on the Bituation Room.
00:10:04.000Being a dual national, how does it inform your politics?
00:10:08.000Yeah, it's, I think it makes me, it does a couple things, I think.
00:10:13.000Like it ties me very personally to the fights for self determination and sovereignty, you know, from Puerto Rico to Palestine.
00:10:21.000I think it's so essential that we're standing in solidarity in those struggles.
00:10:27.000And I think it makes me think about immigration in a different way.
00:11:14.000My hot take is we need to abolish pre check.
00:11:17.000I've got like a million beefs with the airline industry and the process of having to fly.
00:11:22.000We need to like nationalize the airline industry.
00:11:24.000But let's start by abolishing pre check.
00:11:29.000So it's not just Claire Valdez, Daria Lisa Chevalier, who is probably the nuttiest of these people, which is saying a lot.
00:11:36.000She was asked if she was a communist on MSNL.
00:11:38.000And she said, well, if by communism you just mean basic kindness.
00:11:44.000I'll switch to Republicans' ads to say, this is what you're going to get if you vote for the Democrats, a communist.
00:11:49.000You know, I think that is, that framing is one that I've been very proud to be able to say I don't respond to, one in which I have been very intentional to say I won't be reactive.
00:12:03.000We are presenting a vision of what we're fighting for.
00:12:06.000And I think for far too long, we have had politics that is reactive.
00:12:12.000What we need is Democrats who are actually going to present a positive vision, one that sets the tone for what we should be talking about, which is the issue of affordability, which is the issue of how our budgets are moral documents.
00:12:24.000For far too long, this reactive conversation of what we should be afraid of has prevented us from being able to have a politics of hope and a politics of life that Democrats can actually identify with.
00:13:25.000Again, this is poll data from Pew, political typology by age.
00:13:29.000And it breaks down a bunch of different subgroups within each party.
00:13:34.000So, notice the age bracket 18 to 29, which is again where the Democratic Socialists of America and the Radicals are putting all their focus.
00:13:50.00014% compared to 2% of people above the age of 65, demonstrating once and for all that the young, always and forever, will remain the dumbest generation until they get older.
00:14:16.000Hey, then how about the people who are the left out left, what Pew calls the left out left, people who are Disaffected with the Democratic Party and feel angry at the Democratic Party and who are perfectly willing to join the outsiders.
00:14:28.00025% of all Democrats under 30 are part of the left out left.
00:14:33.000Okay, so that represents, by the way, a sheer majority of Democrats 18 to 29 are either Democratic socialists, meaning like actual communists, or people who hate the Democratic Party and are happy to watch outsiders smack it around.
00:14:46.000That's a sheer majority of Democrats aged 18 to 29.
00:14:51.000Then you have a couple of other groups among people aged 18 to 29 overall.
00:14:54.000Now, again, Overall, 14% of people, not just Democrats, 14% of people aged 18 to 29 are Democratic Socialists.
00:15:01.00019% are people who are disaffected Democrats, essentially, the so called left out left.
00:15:07.00014% of all people aged 18 to 29 are what Pew calls the tuned out middle.
00:15:11.000These are people who are basically low information voters.
00:15:14.000They don't tend to pay attention to politics.
00:15:15.000They sort of culturally see it on their TikTok.
00:15:18.000They listen to Joe Rogan or Theo Vaughn, that kind of folks.
00:15:21.000And then 9% who are the loyal liberals, Democratic Party voters.
00:15:26.000And the proposed coalition for Momdani is the DSA, that 14%, plus the disaffected Democrats, 19%, plus the people who don't pay attention and who voted probably for Bernie in 2016 and then maybe for Trump in 2024, the tuned out middle, the Joe Rogan types, it's like 14%.
00:15:47.000The people who are sort of the binary thinkers, Democrats who say, listen, I don't like all of this, but when it comes right down to it, if I'm forced to choose between Donald Trump and Zar Momdani, I'll choose Zar Momdani.
00:15:55.000That's 56% of everybody aged 18 to 29.
00:15:58.000That is the coalition they're looking at.
00:16:00.000And again, it's a youth based coalition because the hope always and forever is that the youth will bleed up into the rest of the population.
00:16:08.000So let's break down this coalition a little further because it's pretty fascinating.
00:16:17.000As we pointed out, it is over educated, useless white people.
00:16:20.000Some of them are white, some of them are not.
00:16:23.000But bottom line is this professional, disproportionately white, the professional useless class, they've been manufactured over the last 20, 30, 40 years in university classrooms.
00:16:32.000They've been majoring in absolute junk.
00:16:34.000They're unemployable losers who have never held a real job, but they did go to the best colleges for years and then more years, and then they can't get real jobs.
00:16:41.000So, they end up as community organizers or agitators or political aides for crappy candidates who hate the country.
00:16:48.000The Democratic Socialists of America is a make work machine for college educated losers.
00:17:13.000He's an overeducated loser whose father taught at Columbia University and whose mom is a documentarian.
00:17:18.000He's a member of the elect in the United States, treating himself as though he's a member of the proletariat, which, by the way, is a common theme.
00:17:26.000If you're looking for the people who lead revolutions, never look at the actual proles.
00:17:35.000The people who always lead revolutions are disaffected pseudo intellectuals who feel disrespected and want to remake systems because they're bored and unemployable.
00:17:44.000It was true for everyone from Hitler to Lenin.
00:17:46.000And it's true for Zorhan Mamdani as well.
00:18:36.000Never held a real job, worked at a university, again, another make work program for over educated idiots, and now is leading the revolution.
00:18:49.000I want to give you her college history because that way, when you hear about her affordability problems, you understand where she's coming from.
00:18:58.000She graduated in 2016 with a degree in Middle Eastern studies.
00:19:02.000Now she is in her seventh year of her PhD at CUNY in sociology.
00:19:08.000When I talk about career useless people who have never produced a thing of value, her name just comes right up.
00:19:14.000Here she was explaining, though, that this created affordability problems with her again.
00:19:18.000The idea that you have an affordability problem because the system has failed you when you've been in college or grad school for half of your life is insane.
00:19:29.000And as someone who has had to live with the question of whether I can even afford to stay in the city I love, as someone who has struggled with this issue of affordability, but yet seen time and time again my tax dollars, New Yorkers' tax dollars, be used to bomb children and families abroad instead of being invested in our communities here, I am tired of that type of politics.
00:19:50.000And I'm running because I believe my community.
00:19:52.000Deserves the dignity of a representative who is going to fight tooth and nail for the things that they deserve.
00:19:59.000I have to say, Zar Mamdani is absolutely unwatchable.
00:20:01.000Just the pasted on fake grin everywhere.
00:20:05.000He's got this creepy Joker esque grin every time he appears on your screen.
00:20:09.000But again, those are the leaders of the revolution.
00:20:12.000Career useless people, pseudo intellectuals, not particularly smart, but granted high degrees in useless crap, who now have extra time on their hands and they're going to lead the revolution.
00:20:23.000So that is the core group 14% of the people aged 18 to 29, and about a quarter of all Democrats in the pupil aged 18 to 29.
00:20:31.000Already coming up, we'll get to disaffected Democrats and how they fold into the Momdani coalition.
00:20:36.000Plus, We'll be having on and recipients of the Medal of Honor to talk about what makes America actually awesome.
00:20:41.000First, people spend a lot of time these days talking about bringing manufacturing back to America, which don't get me wrong, that's awesome.
00:20:47.000It's also worth noting the industries that never actually left in the first place.
00:20:51.000One example America's beverage companies.
00:20:53.000The drinks people have grown up with for generations, sodas, sparkling waters, teas, sports drinks, the companies behind them have continued making those products here in the United States the entire time.
00:21:02.000Behind all of that are 275,000 men and women across all 50 states showing up every day and doing the real work.
00:21:08.000These are good paying jobs, distribution, manufacturing, trucking, production, the kinds of jobs that support families and local communities.
00:21:15.000For more than a century, America's beverage companies have continued investing here, building here, employing American workers in America's hometowns.
00:21:21.000In an economy where so many industries moved operations overseas, that actually does matter quite a lot.
00:21:26.000Learn more about how they're keeping America strong at WeDeliverForAmerica.org.
00:22:43.000And when they're in the legislature, they're part of the Democratic Party caucus.
00:22:47.000But we don't agree with the way the Democratic Party establishment organizes or runs its party apparatus, and so we try to build independence by focusing on a volunteer led movement.
00:23:02.000We think that everyone should be able to be trained and to become someone who can participate in the political process, and we don't really think that Democratic Party campaigns in the establishment are run that way, and I think you really see that difference in the races like we're having tonight.
00:23:20.000Again, they hate the Democrats and they are running from inside the party to destroy the Democrats.
00:23:23.000And a lot of Democrats are very much on board with this.
00:23:26.000Here is another DSA coacher named Megan Romer saying she's not a Democrat, she's a socialist.
00:23:57.000Again, they're quite open about this, but the idea is they're going to recruit all the people who are unhappy with the Democrats.
00:24:01.000Harry Enton points out that this is working.
00:24:04.000Here he is looking at the polling data Democrats versus, say, the DSA.
00:24:10.000The Democratic Socialists of America have a higher net favor than the Democratic Party does, at least those who are members of Congress.
00:24:17.000I mean, just take a look here Dem Socialists of America plus 17 points, Democrats in Congress plus four points.
00:24:23.000No wonder that Dem Socialists are getting nominated across the political map in different primaries because, simply put, they are more popular than the Democrats currently in charge.
00:24:35.000Attacking the party is a very, very good way of winning power.
00:24:39.000And you can see how kind of more traditionalist Democrats, even very, very left-wing anti-Trump Democrats, New York Attorney General Letitia James, I told you earlier, the anti-Trump coalition has turned into the Hate America coalition.
00:24:49.000Letitia James literally tried to sue Trump out of existence.
00:25:27.000I think what is the Democratic Party if not its voters?
00:25:29.000And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics.
00:25:37.000And I've been clear time and time again that I believe the only majority in our country is that of the working class.
00:25:42.000And what we saw is that a focus on the working class, whether it's from Claire, whether it's from Daria Lisa, whether it's from Brad, is the kind of focus that New Yorkers want to see.
00:25:51.000And I have a deep amount of respect for my friend, Attorney General James.
00:25:55.000And I also believe that these are the kinds of candidates that we need to see in Congress.
00:26:00.000Okay, so again, running against the Democratic Party is a lucrative political strategy.
00:26:08.000Now you have the third group, the people who aren't watching very closely, right?
00:26:11.000The Joe Rogans or the Theo Vons, who are perfectly happy, I am sure, to host members of the DSA.
00:26:16.000And hit them with no difficult questions, but talk about how revolutionary they are and how they are, they are really changing it up politically.
00:26:24.000No deep questions, no serious policy ramifications, but they do make cool TikToks.
00:26:29.000And as long as they're making the cool TikToks, the inspiring TikToks and talking about the problems, which of course is the thing that the podcast sphere likes to talk about.
00:26:36.000They never like to talk about the solutions, but they do love people who will just complain about the problems with the system because now you're in the know and all the rest of this nonsense.
00:26:55.000And these are people who, if forced to choose between the psychotic left and the Trump right, will choose the psychotic left every single time.
00:27:02.000This is why the Democratic Party has no systemic immunity to any of this.
00:27:07.000I mean, they haven't had systemic immunity to any of this for 25 years.
00:27:13.000Again, the seeds of all this were planted in the Obama era.
00:27:25.000I think the future of the party is diverse and is anchored in the fact that we've got candidates all across the country who are running to take back control of the House of Representatives so we can end the national nightmare that's taken place.
00:27:43.000Mayor Mondani has been off to a great start as mayor.
00:27:47.000We have a good working relationship and that will continue moving forward.
00:27:52.000Again, the kind of traditionalist left, which represents for young people about 9%, the loyal liberals, the Democratic Party voters, who will choose, if forced to choose, between Nazi tattoo guy and Susan Collins.
00:28:03.000They will choose Nazi tattoo guy because absolutely Susan Collins might sometimes vote with Trump.
00:28:09.000Joe Scarborough, who used to be a Republican, right, a long, long time ago, he, for example, is trying to shy away from the fact that every single one of these New York candidates is preaching pretty much open anti Semitism.
00:28:19.000And he says, no, no, no, it's really not about them, it's about Netanyahu in Israel.
00:28:26.000If it were Naftali Bennett or Yair Lapid, who was Prime Minister of Israel, I'm sure that Zaran Mamdani would then be, you know, moderately pro Israel, probably.
00:28:33.000This is just a terrible take from Joe.
00:28:37.000Hearing a lot of people say, talking about the anti Semitism in New York City and last night proved the anti Semitism in New York City and this is Mamdani's fault.
00:28:51.000If you want to blame anybody for what happened last night, my opinion, if you want to blame anybody, Jonathan, I think you have to blame Benjamin Netanyahu.
00:31:11.000In fact, the biggest group of democrats.
00:31:14.000That biggest group of Democrats would be the order and opportunity left.
00:31:17.000The order and opportunity left, again, the hope for the Democratic Socialists is that the order and opportunity left basically continues to vote alongside the Democrats.
00:31:26.000If they do, if they were to do that, that would be a huge problem for the Republicans, obviously.
00:31:31.000Because, again, the order and opportunity left is, by the numbers, the single biggest group among voters.
00:31:42.000So, if you're able to stack 11 of that 18% on top, they end up with a majority, this coalition.
00:31:49.000But if Republicans are able to reach out to that order and opportunity left, which is the place they need to be reaching out to, then Republicans could win.
00:31:58.000Because again, people who don't hate capitalism, but do hate crime, who want the border closed, but are not huge on sort of the immigration rates, who don't love trans politics, for example, that remains the single biggest swath of Democrat leaning people.
00:32:13.000Now, the right has fallen into this idea that this is like the working class coalition.
00:32:17.000It's about the working class coalition.
