The Ben Shapiro Show - They HATE America…And Here’s Their Plan To Conquer It

00:00:00.000 They hate America and they are winning.

00:00:03.000 The Democratic Socialists of America are not hiding the ball.

00:00:06.000 They despise America, like, truly despise America.

00:00:10.000 And now they and their allies are forming a winning coalition, not just in New York, but they hope across America.

00:00:16.000 I'll explain who they are, what they want, and why you should actually be terrified in just a moment.

00:00:20.000 This is the Ben Shapiro Show.

00:00:29.000 So, Zorhan Mamdani is the captain now.

00:00:32.000 Three New York City congressional seats are now filled by DSA members or former DSA members.

00:00:37.000 The DSA is the Democratic Socialists of America.

00:00:39.000 We'll get to their actual platform in just a moment.

00:00:42.000 In LA, another Democratic Socialists of America member may end up as mayor.

00:00:46.000 In New Jersey, a former Al Qaeda mouthpiece allegedly will likely win a congressional seat.

00:00:51.000 In Michigan, a terrorist supporter will likely be elected to the Senate.

00:00:54.000 In Maine, a dude with a literal Nazi tattoo will likely end up in the Senate as well.

00:00:59.000 The rise of the Hate America crowd is the story here, it's their pitch.

00:01:03.000 It's not a bug.

00:01:04.000 I know a lot of people are saying, no, no, no, they're winning in spite of all that.

00:01:04.000 It's a feature.

00:01:07.000 Wrong. 0.99

00:01:07.000 This is how you win with young people. 0.99

00:01:11.000 It's how you signal that you're not part of the machine.

00:01:14.000 Now, again, the seeds of all of this were planted long ago.

00:01:17.000 In 2008, the Democratic Party coalition turned into the Barack Obama coalition.

00:01:21.000 By 2012, the Obama coalition had turned into the coalition of the oppressed.

00:01:25.000 By 2016, that coalition of the oppressed was turned into the anti Trump coalition.

00:01:30.000 And now the anti Trump coalition is turning into the hate America coalition.

00:01:34.000 Full scale.

00:01:35.000 All masks off.

00:01:36.000 Now, the seeds were always there.

00:01:38.000 I 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.

00:01:48.000 I have a bad habit of actually reading political memoirs because it actually tells you a lot about the politicians.

00:01:53.000 He 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.

00:02:03.000 How narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury, how easily they slip into violence and despair.

00:02:09.000 I 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.

00:02:23.000 Again, that sentence could have been written by Zorhan Mamdani or by Chevalier or by any of the variety of Democratic Socialists of America candidates.

00:02:32.000 That is the entire matrix of thinking there is that all suffering all over the world is the fault of evil capitalist free market systems.

00:02:40.000 And 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.

00:02:54.000 There 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. 0.58

00:03:00.000 There'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.

00:03:09.000 Bernie Sanders almost won the Democratic nomination in 2016, running against the Democratic Party as an open advocate of anti American socialism. 0.67

00:03:18.000 He won the youth vote outright. 0.88

00:03:20.000 Well, now that Obama Sanders coalition has turned into the Momdani coalition, and it's going to keep getting worse. 0.78

00:03:26.000 Here, by the way, is what the Democratic Socialists of America actually believe. 0.53

00:03:30.000 This 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. 0.71

00:03:43.000 Abolish 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. 0.85

00:04:01.000 End sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, naturally. 0.92

00:04:05.000 Abolish ICE, grant amnesty for literally everyone to open borders, public ownership of all major corporations, and remake the elections nationwide.

00:04:15.000 The ultimate goal, a Democrat socialist republic.

00:04:19.000 And this is what their official platform.

00:04:20.000 Now, in 2012, the DSA had 6,500 members.

00:04:24.000 By February of this year, that was over 100,000.

00:04:27.000 By the end of this year, it would be shocking if they don't have at least half a million registered members.

00:04:32.000 Now, 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.

00:04:44.000 See, they're saying the thing, they just keep saying affordability.

00:04:46.000 Here is the problem that's not true.

00:04:48.000 It's not true.

00:04:49.000 They're winning primaries not based on affordability.

00:04:52.000 When 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. 1.00

00:05:00.000 So, for example, Darializa Chevalier, who is a complete psychotic anti American nutjob. 1.00

00:05:07.000 She won her primary the other night with 32,790 votes. 1.00

00:05:12.000 She won 50 to 60% of the votes among younger residents, majority college educated areas, and higher income areas.

00:05:18.000 So it was richer, younger, college educated people.

00:05:23.000 Her opponent, Adreno Aspayat, who's a sitting congressperson, won about 30,000 votes.

00:05:30.000 And this congressperson won 50 to 55% of the votes among lower income areas and majority Hispanic areas.

00:05:36.000 So, Again, Chevalier is not winning the low income areas.

00:05:40.000 She is not winning the minority areas. 0.52

00:05:42.000 She's winning college educated white people.

00:05:45.000 Chevalier also did not win the public housing precincts.

00:05:49.000 Espalier 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.

00:05:59.000 Overall, Espalier won New York City housing authority precincts by 24 points across the district.

00:06:04.000 How about Brad Lander? 0.99

00:06:05.000 So, Brad Lander is the pseudo Jew. 0.99

00:06:09.000 Who was a member of the DSA and then dropped his membership in the DSA, but actually is still a member of the DSA, basically. 0.98

00:06:15.000 Well, it turns out that even Dan Goldman won the public housing precincts by about 20%.

00:06:23.000 Okay, so what do you notice?

00:06:24.000 What you're noticing is that the Democratic Socialists of America is led by over educated white people.

00:06:31.000 That is what is happening here.

00:06:34.000 You can see it.

00:06:34.000 There's a Pew poll that came out just a week ago showing what the Democratic Party looks like.

00:06:41.000 And 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.

00:06:54.000 It is lowest among blacks.

00:06:55.000 Unsurprisingly, 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.

00:07:17.000 And that is the biggest group among all Democrats, but among white people, disproportionately, they are far to the left.

00:07:26.000 But this isn't really a racial thing.

00:07:28.000 This is not about race.

00:07:29.000 It's really much more about age.

00:07:31.000 All 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.

00:07:36.000 They have a plan.

00:07:37.000 We'll get into it.

00:07:38.000 First, here's a thought experiment.

00:07:39.000 Imagine printing out your entire browsing history from the last 30 days, every website, every search, every article, every purchase.

00:07:45.000 Now imagine signing your name at the bottom of it and pinning it to your front door for the whole neighborhood to read. 0.99

00:07:49.000 Most people wouldn't do that because that would be incredibly stupid. 0.93

00:07:52.000 In fact, most people would probably consider it invasive, unsettling. 0.99

00:07:55.000 But online, that happens all the time.

00:07:57.000 Internet providers can see the website you visit.

00:07:59.000 Yes, even when you use incognito mode.

00:08:01.000 In many countries, they're required to store records of online activity for years.

00:08:04.000 In the United States, providers can legally sell your browsing data to third parties.

00:08:08.000 This is one of the reasons I use ExpressVPN.

00:08:10.000 ExpressVPN encrypts online activity before it even reaches your internet provider, meaning providers can't meaningfully see, record, share, or sell your browsing history.

00:08:18.000 Because they never actually receive it in readable form to begin with.

00:08:21.000 One of the reasons ExpressVPN works so well is that it's simple.

00:08:24.000 One tap on your phone, laptop, tablet, desktop, your connection is secured because privacy should not be treated like suspicious behavior.

00:08:29.000 Privacy is normal, privacy is healthy.

00:08:31.000 Privacy is part of living in a free society.

00:08:33.000 So, 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.

00:08:40.000 If you use my special link, you can get four extra months of service at ExpressVPN.comslashmen.

00:08:45.000 That's EXPRESSVPN.comslashmen for four extra months of service.

00:08:50.000 So, Zoram Dani.

00:08:52.000 He says that they are ready, the DSA is now ready to be the face of the Democratic Party.

00:08:55.000 They're building a coalition, right?

00:08:56.000 And the coalition is going to be national in nature. 0.80

00:09:00.000 So 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.

00:09:14.000 I think we can see from each of these candidates that they have exactly what it takes to succeed. 0.60

00:09:18.000 And we've heard from Republicans time and again that they're going to try and make these candidates the face of the Democratic Party.

00:09:25.000 To 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.

00:09:33.000 These candidates have shown that they can.

00:09:34.000 Let the Republicans talk about that more.

00:09:38.000 Okay, so again, he is going to make the claim that this is the face of the Democrat.

00:09:41.000 Okay, so that's the he pretends about affordability.

00:09:44.000 As I just showed you, it's not about affordability.

00:09:46.000 They're not winning primaries because they say affordability, they're winning primaries because they hate the country. 0.91

00:09:51.000 Claire Valdez, who just won a congressional primary, this is the kind of stuff that she preaches in order to win a congressional primary. 0.85

00:09:58.000 That the nation was founded on genocide on the Bituation Room. 0.97

00:10:04.000 Being a dual national, how does it inform your politics? 0.96

00:10:08.000 Yeah, it's, I think it makes me, it does a couple things, I think.

00:10:13.000 Like it ties me very personally to the fights for self determination and sovereignty, you know, from Puerto Rico to Palestine.

00:10:21.000 I think it's so essential that we're standing in solidarity in those struggles.

00:10:27.000 And I think it makes me think about immigration in a different way.

00:10:30.000 You know, we hear all these.

00:10:32.000 You know, white conservative men talk about who does and does not belong here.

00:10:37.000 And look, this nation was founded on genocide and the mass displacement of people.

00:10:43.000 This is, it's just the history.

00:10:45.000 And to say that some people cannot belong here, it's like, come on.

00:10:51.000 Again, they despise the country.

00:10:52.000 To say some people don't, I mean, if you don't come here legally and if you hate our country, you probably shouldn't be here.

00:10:59.000 Claire Valdez, also, by the way, is April 30th.

00:11:03.000 She said that she wants to abolish pre check and nationalize the airline industry.

00:11:07.000 And they are just communists who hate the country.

00:11:09.000 This is not some sort of giant secret.

00:11:10.000 They just say the thing out loud.

00:11:14.000 My hot take is we need to abolish pre check.

00:11:17.000 I've got like a million beefs with the airline industry and the process of having to fly.

00:11:22.000 We need to like nationalize the airline industry.

00:11:24.000 But let's start by abolishing pre check.

00:11:29.000 So it's not just Claire Valdez, Daria Lisa Chevalier, who is probably the nuttiest of these people, which is saying a lot. 0.87

00:11:36.000 She was asked if she was a communist on MSNL.

00:11:38.000 And she said, well, if by communism you just mean basic kindness.

00:11:44.000 I'll switch to Republicans' ads to say, this is what you're going to get if you vote for the Democrats, a communist.

00:11:49.000 You 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.

00:12:03.000 We are presenting a vision of what we're fighting for.

00:12:06.000 And I think for far too long, we have had politics that is reactive.

00:12:10.000 To what Republicans are doing.

00:12:12.000 What 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.

00:12:24.000 For 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.

00:12:38.000 Okay, so hope, light, and communism.

00:12:40.000 That's what she's talking about.

00:12:41.000 And of course, she's hiding it beneath all this pseudo academic nonsense jargon.

00:12:45.000 That she was taught over at Columbia.

00:12:47.000 We'll get to that in a second.

00:12:48.000 Now, again, this is what they believe.

00:12:50.000 So the question is how do they form a coalition for victory?

00:12:53.000 Okay, so again, I hear a lot of Americans sighing as they listen.

00:12:56.000 Okay, fine, that's New York. 1.00

00:12:58.000 New Yorkers are crazy. 0.96

00:12:59.000 They already elected Zorhan Mamdani. 1.00

00:12:59.000 We know this. 1.00

00:13:01.000 So they elect a few more crazy Congress people. 0.99

00:13:03.000 So they elect a crazy senator over in Michigan, a person who hates America. 0.97

00:13:07.000 So what if they elect a person who's an actual mouthpiece for terrorism, allegedly, over in New Jersey? 0.58

00:13:12.000 It's just a few, like there are 435 members of Congress, there's 100 senators.

00:13:16.000 There are mayors all over the country.

00:13:17.000 What's the big deal?

00:13:19.000 So, how exactly do they take over?

00:13:20.000 Okay, so I'm going to show you how they take over, what the actual plan is.

00:13:24.000 So, look at this poll data.

00:13:25.000 Again, this is poll data from Pew, political typology by age.

00:13:29.000 And it breaks down a bunch of different subgroups within each party.

00:13:34.000 So, notice the age bracket 18 to 29, which is again where the Democratic Socialists of America and the Radicals are putting all their focus. 0.53

00:13:42.000 Notice that age bracket.

00:13:44.000 14% of people aged 18 to 29 are what they call leftward progressive.

00:13:48.000 That would be the DSA. 0.87

00:13:50.000 14% 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. 0.93

00:13:58.000 That's how it works. 0.59

00:13:59.000 So 14% are basically openly DSA.

00:14:03.000 That represents, by the way, 26% of Democrats and Democratic leaning independents.

00:14:08.000 26%.

00:14:09.000 So over a quarter are basically DSA.

00:14:12.000 If you are young and a Democrat.

00:14:16.000 Hey, 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.

00:14:28.000 25% of all Democrats under 30 are part of the left out left.

00:14:33.000 Okay, 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.

00:14:46.000 That's a sheer majority of Democrats aged 18 to 29.

00:14:51.000 Then you have a couple of other groups among people aged 18 to 29 overall.

00:14:54.000 Now, again, Overall, 14% of people, not just Democrats, 14% of people aged 18 to 29 are Democratic Socialists.

00:15:01.000 19% are people who are disaffected Democrats, essentially, the so called left out left.

00:15:07.000 14% of all people aged 18 to 29 are what Pew calls the tuned out middle.

00:15:11.000 These are people who are basically low information voters.

00:15:14.000 They don't tend to pay attention to politics.

00:15:15.000 They sort of culturally see it on their TikTok.

00:15:18.000 They listen to Joe Rogan or Theo Vaughn, that kind of folks.

00:15:21.000 And then 9% who are the loyal liberals, Democratic Party voters.

00:15:24.000 So the goal here is.

00:15:26.000 And 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%.

00:15:45.000 And then the loyal liberals, right?

00:15:47.000 The 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.

00:15:55.000 That's 56% of everybody aged 18 to 29.

00:15:58.000 That is the coalition they're looking at. 0.60

00:16:00.000 And 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.

00:16:08.000 So let's break down this coalition a little further because it's pretty fascinating.

00:16:11.000 So, start with the DSA.

00:16:13.000 Who's leading all of this?

00:16:14.000 Who's leading all of this?

00:16:16.000 Who is the DSA? 1.00

00:16:17.000 As we pointed out, it is over educated, useless white people. 1.00

00:16:20.000 Some of them are white, some of them are not. 1.00

00:16:23.000 But 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. 1.00

00:16:32.000 They've been majoring in absolute junk. 1.00

00:16:34.000 They'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. 0.99

00:16:41.000 So, they end up as community organizers or agitators or political aides for crappy candidates who hate the country. 0.98

00:16:48.000 The Democratic Socialists of America is a make work machine for college educated losers. 0.99

00:16:52.000 That's what it is. 0.98

00:16:55.000 And this is who these folks are. 0.99

00:16:56.000 Claire Valdez explains to Zoran Momdani, again, another useless person. 0.94

00:17:00.000 Zoran Momdani went to a solid college and then he turned into a failed rapper.

00:17:06.000 And that was his entire career path until he was elected to office in New York.

00:17:11.000 He has never held a real job, never. 0.94

00:17:13.000 He's an overeducated loser whose father taught at Columbia University and whose mom is a documentarian. 0.52

00:17:18.000 He'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. 0.95

00:17:26.000 If you're looking for the people who lead revolutions, never look at the actual proles.

00:17:30.000 Don't look to the proletariat.

00:17:31.000 Don't look to the people who are working in factories.

00:17:33.000 They're busy, they got a job.

00:17:35.000 The people who always lead revolutions are disaffected pseudo intellectuals who feel disrespected and want to remake systems because they're bored and unemployable.

00:17:44.000 It was true for everyone from Hitler to Lenin.

00:17:46.000 And it's true for Zorhan Mamdani as well.

00:17:48.000 And it's true for Claire Valdez.

00:17:49.000 So here is Claire Valdez explaining how she got into politics at Columbia.

00:17:55.000 That shift happened when I started working at Columbia University. 0.91

00:17:58.000 It was a union job.

00:18:00.000 And all of a sudden, I had all this time.

00:18:03.000 You know, it was my first proper nine to five job.

00:18:06.000 And that's revolutionary, I think, to so many workers who are used to working two, three jobs and nights and weekends.

00:18:13.000 That's so much power.

00:18:15.000 That power was something that I wanted to help win for other people.

00:18:20.000 It felt like the most incredible gift in my life.

00:18:24.000 Okay, so she was working for Columbia University as a useless assistant, and she had extra time and she started thinking about politics.

00:18:30.000 She studied painting and art history at the School of Art Institute in Chicago.

00:18:35.000 That's who this person is. 1.00

00:18:36.000 Never held a real job, worked at a university, again, another make work program for over educated idiots, and now is leading the revolution. 1.00

00:18:44.000 Or take Dari Luza Chevalier. 0.99

00:18:47.000 She started college in 2008.

00:18:49.000 I want to give you her college history because that way, when you hear about her affordability problems, you understand where she's coming from.

00:18:54.000 She started college in 2008.

00:18:57.000 She went to Columbia.

00:18:58.000 She graduated in 2016 with a degree in Middle Eastern studies.

00:19:02.000 Now she is in her seventh year of her PhD at CUNY in sociology.

00:19:08.000 When I talk about career useless people who have never produced a thing of value, her name just comes right up.

00:19:14.000 Here she was explaining, though, that this created affordability problems with her again.

00:19:18.000 The 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.

00:19:29.000 And 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.

00:19:50.000 And I'm running because I believe my community.

00:19:52.000 Deserves the dignity of a representative who is going to fight tooth and nail for the things that they deserve. 0.56

00:19:59.000 I have to say, Zar Mamdani is absolutely unwatchable. 0.95

00:20:01.000 Just the pasted on fake grin everywhere. 0.94

00:20:05.000 He's got this creepy Joker esque grin every time he appears on your screen.

00:20:08.000 It's really very, very strange.

00:20:09.000 But again, those are the leaders of the revolution. 0.98

00:20:12.000 Career 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. 0.96

00:20:23.000 So 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. 0.96

00:20:31.000 Already coming up, we'll get to disaffected Democrats and how they fold into the Momdani coalition. 0.57

00:20:36.000 Plus, We'll be having on and recipients of the Medal of Honor to talk about what makes America actually awesome.

00:20:41.000 First, people spend a lot of time these days talking about bringing manufacturing back to America, which don't get me wrong, that's awesome.

00:20:47.000 It's also worth noting the industries that never actually left in the first place.

00:20:51.000 One example America's beverage companies.

00:20:53.000 The 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.

00:21:02.000 Behind all of that are 275,000 men and women across all 50 states showing up every day and doing the real work.

00:21:08.000 These are good paying jobs, distribution, manufacturing, trucking, production, the kinds of jobs that support families and local communities.

00:21:15.000 For more than a century, America's beverage companies have continued investing here, building here, employing American workers in America's hometowns.

00:21:21.000 In an economy where so many industries moved operations overseas, that actually does matter quite a lot.

00:21:26.000 Learn more about how they're keeping America strong at WeDeliverForAmerica.org.

00:21:30.000 Again, that's WeDeliverForAmerica.org.

00:21:33.000 A lot of industries that left, that never happened with the American beverage industries.

00:21:37.000 They've been helping out Americans and Obviously, giving us the stuff that we like as well.

00:21:40.000 Go check them out right now.

00:21:41.000 We deliver for America.org.

00:21:43.000 Okay, then you have part two the disaffected Democrats.

00:21:47.000 Okay, this is where you have a bunch of people in the Democratic Party who are just annoyed with the Democrats.

00:21:53.000 Why?

00:21:54.000 Well, because the Democrats are constantly promising the world and then failing to deliver.

00:21:57.000 They yell about Trump, but they don't give you enough.

00:21:59.000 It is very easy, by the way, to campaign from outside a party saying the party doesn't do enough.

00:22:03.000 It works on the right.

00:22:04.000 President Trump did this.

00:22:05.000 The DSA is doing this.

00:22:05.000 It works on the left.

00:22:08.000 So here is the DSA head, co chair, Gustavo Gordillo, saying, We disagree with the Democrats.

00:22:14.000 Like, we're using them, basically.

00:22:16.000 And this is a lot of people are warmed toward this because, again, they don't like the Democratic Party.

00:22:21.000 They're Democrats, but they don't like it.

00:22:22.000 And so, what they're doing is they're weaponizing the disaffected.

00:22:25.000 And again, that disaffected group for people 18 to 29, that is the second, that is the actual largest group.

00:22:30.000 It's like 19% of people aged 18 to 29.

00:22:35.000 Our candidates run as Democrats.

00:22:38.000 We're on the Democratic Party ballot line.

00:22:40.000 We contest the primaries.

00:22:43.000 And when they're in the legislature, they're part of the Democratic Party caucus.

00:22:47.000 But 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.

00:23:02.000 We 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.

00:23:20.000 Again, they hate the Democrats and they are running from inside the party to destroy the Democrats.

00:23:23.000 And a lot of Democrats are very much on board with this.

00:23:26.000 Here is another DSA coacher named Megan Romer saying she's not a Democrat, she's a socialist.

00:23:34.000 We are explicitly socialist.

00:23:35.000 We're not shy about it.

00:23:36.000 We're not the Democrats who are like, no, no, no, no, we're not.

00:23:39.000 Stop calling us that.

00:23:41.000 Like, yeah, no, you can call us that.

00:23:42.000 It's fine.

00:23:43.000 We're socialists.

00:23:44.000 We're not fighting for a kinder, gentler capitalism.

00:23:44.000 It's cool.

00:23:47.000 We're not fighting to soften the edges.

00:23:48.000 We're fighting to have worker control of every aspect of our lives, of our housing.

00:23:53.000 Of our workplace, of our communities.

00:23:57.000 Again, they're quite open about this, but the idea is they're going to recruit all the people who are unhappy with the Democrats.

00:24:01.000 Harry Enton points out that this is working.

00:24:04.000 Here he is looking at the polling data Democrats versus, say, the DSA.

00:24:10.000 The Democratic Socialists of America have a higher net favor than the Democratic Party does, at least those who are members of Congress.

00:24:17.000 I mean, just take a look here Dem Socialists of America plus 17 points, Democrats in Congress plus four points.

00:24:23.000 No 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.

00:24:32.000 Right, again.

00:24:35.000 Attacking the party is a very, very good way of winning power.

00:24:39.000 And 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. 0.84

00:24:49.000 Letitia James literally tried to sue Trump out of existence. 0.99

00:24:53.000 That was her entire raison d'etre. 1.00

00:24:55.000 And now she's being outflanked by Mamdani.

00:24:56.000 And she said, quote, all of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party, but you don't blow it up.

00:25:01.000 That's what MAGA has done.

00:25:02.000 But no, no, no.

00:25:03.000 That's the whole idea.

00:25:04.000 You do blow it up.

00:25:05.000 That is the entire promise.

00:25:06.000 That is the pitch.

00:25:08.000 This is why Zoram Mandani says he's not worried about ticking off Letitia James.

00:25:12.000 Here he goes with Crusades.

00:25:15.000 She said she and other political leaders she's spoken to are disappointed in Zoram Mandani.

00:25:19.000 All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party, but you don't blow it up.

00:25:22.000 That's what MAGA has done.

00:25:24.000 What do you say to that?

00:25:27.000 I think what is the Democratic Party if not its voters?

00:25:29.000 And what we saw yesterday evening were Democrats across the city turning out and voting for a new kind of politics. 0.81

00:25:37.000 And I've been clear time and time again that I believe the only majority in our country is that of the working class.

00:25:42.000 And 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.

00:25:51.000 And I have a deep amount of respect for my friend, Attorney General James.

00:25:55.000 And I also believe that these are the kinds of candidates that we need to see in Congress.

00:26:00.000 Okay, so again, running against the Democratic Party is a lucrative political strategy.

00:26:08.000 Now you have the third group, the people who aren't watching very closely, right?

00:26:08.000 Okay, fine.

00:26:11.000 The Joe Rogans or the Theo Vons, who are perfectly happy, I am sure, to host members of the DSA.

00:26:16.000 And hit them with no difficult questions, but talk about how revolutionary they are and how they are, they are really changing it up politically.

00:26:24.000 No deep questions, no serious policy ramifications, but they do make cool TikToks.

00:26:29.000 And 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.

00:26:36.000 They 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.

00:26:45.000 So that is a, Fairly large group.

00:26:47.000 Again, for people 18 to 29, the tuned out middle, that's 14%.

00:26:51.000 And then finally, you have the loyal liberals, right?

00:26:53.000 The partisans.

00:26:55.000 And these are people who, if forced to choose between the psychotic left and the Trump right, will choose the psychotic left every single time.

00:27:02.000 This is why the Democratic Party has no systemic immunity to any of this.

00:27:07.000 I mean, they haven't had systemic immunity to any of this for 25 years.

00:27:13.000 Again, the seeds of all this were planted in the Obama era.

00:27:15.000 It's just all coming to fruition now.

00:27:17.000 Here's Hakeem Jeffries basically giving up the ghost.

00:27:20.000 You said Mondani was not the future of the party.

00:27:23.000 Do you regret those statements?

00:27:25.000 I 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.

00:27:43.000 Mayor Mondani has been off to a great start as mayor.

00:27:47.000 We have a good working relationship and that will continue moving forward.

00:27:52.000 Again, 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.

00:28:03.000 They will choose Nazi tattoo guy because absolutely Susan Collins might sometimes vote with Trump.

00:28:09.000 Joe 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.

00:28:19.000 And he says, no, no, no, it's really not about them, it's about Netanyahu in Israel.

00:28:24.000 Right.

00:28:24.000 It's sure.

00:28:26.000 If 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.

00:28:33.000 This is just a terrible take from Joe.

00:28:37.000 Hearing 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.

00:28:46.000 This is so and so's fault.

00:28:48.000 No, no, no.

00:28:48.000 It's this is this left.

00:28:50.000 It's really not.

00:28:50.000 It's not.

00:28:51.000 If 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.

00:29:00.000 Four years of maximalist aims.

00:29:02.000 Four years of ahistoric goals in the Middle East.

00:29:08.000 Okay.

00:29:09.000 I'll just point out at this point, that's totally wrong on the facts.

00:29:11.000 I mean, the fact is, what, what, what, what is this four years nonsense?

00:29:15.000 Is he talking about like post October 7th?

00:29:17.000 Is that what he's talking about?

00:29:19.000 Just a brief refresher. 0.82

00:29:21.000 Israel's attacked on October 7th.

00:29:22.000 Since then, they've destroyed Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

00:29:24.000 Hezbollah also fired thousands of rockets into the north.

00:29:27.000 Israel responded to that.

00:29:29.000 Iran got involved by firing missiles at Israel.

00:29:30.000 So Israel responded to that.

00:29:32.000 And the Houthis in Yemen were firing missiles on Israel, so they responded to that. 0.63

00:29:36.000 But it wouldn't matter. 0.90

00:29:37.000 I mean, let's be real about this. 0.98

00:29:38.000 It's such a silly argument.

00:29:40.000 If you know anything about Israeli politics, you understand that actually Netanyahu right now is being perceived as too moderate. 0.87

00:29:47.000 He's being run against from the right by people who are the erstwhile left.

00:29:52.000 People like Naftali Bennett, who's not a leftist, he's sort of a centrist, as well as Gadi Eisenkopf.

00:29:56.000 But again, none of that matters.

00:29:58.000 It's just nonsense.

00:29:59.000 The reality is, obviously, Zarmamdani will remain as anti-Semitic and anti-Israel as possible.

00:30:03.000 Same thing with Chevalier. 0.99

00:30:05.000 Same thing with the rest of these clowns. 0.94

00:30:07.000 Okay, but the point here is that all of the normie Democrats will fellow travel with the DSA if they have to. 0.96

00:30:13.000 Now, there is a problem for the Democrats and this new coalition.

00:30:17.000 It's still not enough.

00:30:19.000 When you move outside that 18 to 29 age bracket, right?

00:30:21.000 I told you 56% of all people aged 18 to 29 would be in that coalition I just described.

00:30:27.000 But when you move outside of that age bracket to like the total of all available voters, that coalition starts to shrink pretty radically.

00:30:37.000 Only 7% of all voters in this Pew Research poll.

00:30:41.000 Would be leftward progressive democratic socialists of America.

00:30:45.000 12% would be disaffected democrats.

00:30:48.000 9% would be the tuned out middle, the Rogan Theo Vaughn types.

00:30:52.000 11% would be the loyal democratic voters.

00:30:56.000 Well, you don't have to be great at math to do the math here.

00:31:00.000 When you total all that up, that is only 39% of the total electorate, which is a far cry from 50%.

00:31:06.000 What does that leave out?

00:31:06.000 Well, it turns out that what it leaves out, if you go back to the chart, is one gigantic group of democrats.

00:31:06.000 Why?

00:31:11.000 In fact, the biggest group of democrats.

00:31:14.000 That biggest group of Democrats would be the order and opportunity left.

00:31:17.000 The 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.

00:31:26.000 If they do, if they were to do that, that would be a huge problem for the Republicans, obviously.

00:31:31.000 Because, again, the order and opportunity left is, by the numbers, the single biggest group among voters.

00:31:39.000 It is 18% of the entire voting base.

00:31:42.000 So, if you're able to stack 11 of that 18% on top, they end up with a majority, this coalition.

00:31:49.000 But 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.

00:31:58.000 Because 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.

00:32:13.000 Now, the right has fallen into this idea that this is like the working class coalition.

00:32:17.000 It's about the working class coalition.

00:32:18.000 But notice something.

00:32:20.000 The socialist nonsense that's being promoted by Momdani is not being supported by the quote unquote working class coalition.

00:32:27.000 What these people actually want is just moderation.

00:32:30.000 That's all they want, meaning they want law and order, they want cops. 0.82

00:32:34.000 They want immigration law enforced, but they don't want raids in their workplace. 0.74

00:32:38.000 They want capitalism, but with rough edges shaved off, right?

00:32:42.000 That's the stuff that they actually want, probably.

00:32:44.000 Okay, so it's an opportunity for Republicans.

00:32:47.000 The more the Democrats push to the left, the more opportunity there is for Republicans. 0.87

00:32:51.000 With that said, Momdani and company, pretending away the threat is silly.

00:33:00.000 They have reached a tipping point.

00:33:01.000 They have enough of the Democratic Party to pose a serious threat to the future of the United States, and they hate the country.

00:33:08.000 And that is their campaign to hate the country.

00:33:11.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
