The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1807 - Try Not To CRINGE While Watching These Democratic Socialists HUMILIATE Themselves

00:00:00.000 In today's uncertain economy, American financing is helping families find a way out of the high

00:00:05.760 interest trap. We're heading into summer, but the economic clouds aren't clearing for most

00:00:10.580 middle-class families. Between persistent inflation and the cost of daily life,

00:00:14.320 you're likely feeling the pressure. You've worked hard for your home,

00:00:17.600 probably have more equity than you realize, yet the summer surge is forcing many to rely

00:00:21.820 on credit cards. It's an exhausting cycle, but American financing understands that 2026 requires

00:00:27.240 a real strategy. That's why they have salary-based mortgage consultants with mortgage rates in the

00:00:32.520 fives. Their customers are saving an average of $800 a month by wiping out high-interest debt.

00:00:38.400 That's money that stays in your pocket to fight back against rising costs. No upfront fees,

00:00:43.360 no pressure. And if you start today, you could delay two mortgage payments. Call American

00:00:57.240 Well, we are back after a two-week break, which, of course, in the podcasting business means we've missed approximately 100,000 news cycles or so.

00:01:06.420 We weren't able to cover the 15 different ceasefire agreements that we signed with Iran, each of which lasted on average about five minutes, so we're very effective.

00:01:14.800 We couldn't even cover Taylor Swift's wedding to the 13th best tight end in the NFL, a very private, reverent affair held in Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler officiating.

00:01:24.180 As a big fan of Taylor Swift and an even bigger fan of celebrity weddings, as you know, I would have liked to do my show live from outside the venue, you know, cover it live.

00:01:33.040 But unfortunately, I was on vacation. Also, from what I understand, anyone who came within a five block radius of the ceremony with a net worth under $100 million was immediately shot on site.

00:01:43.620 And most tragically of all, we weren't able to discuss the day-to-day developments in the World Cup, a tournament which lasted for approximately 8,000 years or so, and which in the end felt less like a soccer tournament and more like definitive proof beamed out to tens of millions of people that demographic replacement is indeed very real.

00:02:04.620 The match between France and England might as well have been between Nigeria and Cameroon. 0.59

00:02:11.880 You had to squint to find a white guy on the pitch at all. 0.66

00:02:15.740 And come to think of it, here's some free advice to anybody who wants to make a viral YouTube video.

00:02:21.220 Take someone who doesn't know anything about soccer, cover up the scoreboard, mute the audio,

00:02:26.140 and have them watch the match between France and England.

00:02:29.680 And after a few minutes, have them guess what teams are playing.

00:02:33.820 Nobody will get it right, not even close. Hilarity will ensue, and then YouTube will take the video

00:02:38.580 down, and New York Times will call you racist, and your life will be destroyed. But on the bright

00:02:42.940 side, you'll have made a very important point, and you'll have created a video that's infinitely

00:02:47.400 more entertaining than soccer could ever dream of being. We also missed the release of The Odyssey.

00:02:53.700 I haven't seen it yet, so I can't deliver my verdict on it. The clip of Ellen Page that's

00:02:59.880 you know, made the rounds, running awkwardly in body armor with the gait of a small child who 0.99

00:03:05.320 just soiled her diaper. Doesn't fill me with much hope for the film, but I'll have to see the movie

00:03:11.480 before I can give it a final grade. The problem is that apparently you have to like hack through

00:03:15.880 the jungle and traverse mountains and deserts to find one of the three and a half theaters on the

00:03:20.100 globe that actually show the film in the format the director intended, which makes a lot of sense

00:03:25.060 for a big blockbuster movie. But there was one event from the break that warrants, I think,

00:03:29.700 a deeper discussion because of the larger point it leads us to, though it's not an event that

00:03:35.780 would seem to be particularly significant on its surface. And I'm talking about the recent

00:03:40.960 Democrat Senate debate in the state of Maine. Now, as you may remember, Graham Plattner,

00:03:46.320 the socialist with the Nazi tattoo who won in the Democrats primary, recently withdrew from the race.

00:03:52.380 And that's another story that I think we missed. I think that happened during the break. He didn't withdraw because he was unpopular. Every poll showed that Democrat voters loved his whole vibe, you know, the Nazi tattoo, the multiple accusations of sexual assault and so on. But he withdrew because of a rape allegation that proved to be the final straw.

00:04:09.580 One allegation too many, I guess. And the party establishment decided that enough was enough. He was becoming too much of a distraction and he needed to step aside. And Plattner's abrupt withdrawal from the race naturally created something of a power vacuum in party politics because the primary was already held. Democrat delegates throughout Maine have to vote on the replacement candidate. Normal everyday voters are irrelevant at this point, as they usually are in Democrat party politics. You may be sensing a pattern.

00:04:38.680 So in order to help these delegates make up their mind, Maine Democrats held a debate featuring a handful of their most promising candidates.

00:04:47.000 And one of those candidates is an obese man wearing a dress and using the name Ashley J. Webb.

00:04:53.700 Webb was asked why he's qualified to serve in the Senate.

00:04:57.300 And this was his response, if you haven't seen it.

00:04:59.720 And as you listen to this, keep in mind that the other Democrats on the stage and the moderators had to keep a perfectly straight face throughout the whole thing.

00:05:08.300 Every loyal Democrat Party voter at home, the people who buy into the party's platform and left-wing ideology, had to do the same thing.

00:05:16.240 They all had to pretend that what they were witnessing was completely normal. 0.56

00:05:20.660 In fact, they had to pretend that it was brave and beautiful, the platonic ideal of female expression.

00:05:27.360 So here is Ashley J. Webb, who is definitely not Graham Plattner in drag.

00:05:33.220 Here it is. Watch.

00:05:34.100 webb what qualifications do you have to serve in the u.s senate oh i ran for office several times

00:05:41.700 didn't win but i did run and then um i'm a songwriter and then i write my own books and then

00:05:49.060 i suppose my transparency i wouldn't lie to the people and i wouldn't deceive the people like

00:05:56.000 we're being deceived right now like we get lied to smoke smoke and mirrors like what's going on

00:06:02.980 with ICE, pretending like these victims did something wrong. Like, that's unacceptable.

00:06:11.440 And I suppose the biggest thing is, like, I'm just an angry citizen now, and if I got elected,

00:06:16.120 I'd be an angry senator, and I think that would probably be their worst nightmare.

00:06:22.860 So truly a beautiful woman, and by beautiful, I mean he looks a little like a resurrected,

00:06:28.680 zombified John Candy or something, but he got the last part of his statement right. He's

00:06:32.960 a very angry person, as are most of these guys who wear women's clothing. And he would indeed be 1.00

00:06:39.680 the worst nightmare of every man, woman, and child in Washington, D.C., if he were elected to serve

00:06:44.360 in the United States Senate. Lovecraft himself could not have conceived a cosmic horror quite

00:06:49.340 like Ashley J. Webb. Given how old most senators are, it's fair to think of this guy as kind of a

00:06:54.480 walking bioweapon. There will be multiple heart attacks on the Senate floor the moment he walked

00:06:58.720 in the door. Maybe that's the plan. I don't know. But Webb did say something interesting in his

00:07:03.060 response, which is that he doesn't want to deceive anyone, which mission accomplished or almost

00:07:08.840 accomplished, because even if he's not fooling any of us, even those of us who are blind or in a

00:07:14.060 coma, he is clearly deceiving himself to some extent. So already we're not off to a very good

00:07:20.640 start here when it comes to honesty and integrity. It doesn't look like Ashley Webb is serious about

00:07:25.940 his commitment to transparency, to put it mildly. But things somehow get worse when you look at

00:07:30.420 Webb's social media history. And this was reported by the researcher Colin Wright, who says that he

00:07:34.580 found Webb's posts on Reddit, which have now been deleted. So we'll put a few of them up on the

00:07:42.080 screen. You take a look at this guy and you automatically know his posts on Reddit are

00:07:47.820 going to be pretty bad, but they're even worse than you would expect, even though he is just

00:07:52.060 sort of the average Redditor at the same time. So here's what Red Webb wrote, according to Wright's

00:07:56.540 reporting. Quote, I have a cycle in which I get monthly cramping, like pain accompanied with

00:08:02.340 bleeding. I ovulate as well. When you don't have the proper hole, it finds one of two exits. My

00:08:10.240 exit connection was made with my colon, because when I get this monthly pain, that is where the

00:08:15.220 blood comes out of. Now, that was probably more information about Ashley Webb than you ever

00:08:22.340 wanted. The fact that he exists at all is more information than you wanted. So the gastrointestinal

00:08:29.360 details of his life are certainly well beyond that threshold of things you want to know. But

00:08:35.320 it's important to understand that this Democrat Senate candidate is, like so many Democrat Senate

00:08:40.400 candidates, including and especially the candidates who've actually been elected,

00:08:43.500 legitimately unwell. And Webb is fully committed to this bid in ways that are truly disturbing and

00:08:50.680 obviously should be disqualifying. The account Reddit Lies, for example, found this post

00:08:56.100 in which Webb pretends to be a five foot six woman who's 26 years old and only 200 pounds, 0.88

00:09:04.260 because even in this guy's wildest fantasies, he's still 70 pounds overweight, which is

00:09:10.260 interesting. And in this fantasy, he also suffers from chronic lower abdominal pain tied to my

00:09:16.060 cycle. And then Webb attached imagery from an actual woman's CT scan. Who knows where he got

00:09:23.100 that, which he passes off as his own. So not to beat the dead horse here, but I mean, this guy's

00:09:28.780 fantasy scenario in his wildest dreams is that he's a short, overweight, 26-year-old woman

00:09:36.860 with a chronic health condition. That's what he wants to be when he grows up.

00:09:42.860 This, of course, is a particularly disturbing expression of autogynephilia, which trans

00:09:47.240 activists have done everything in their power to erase from the media and from scientific literature. 0.71

00:09:51.540 He's sexually excited by the image of himself as a female to the point that he's fabricating

00:09:55.940 CT results in order to communicate to random people on the internet as if he's an actual woman.

00:10:02.300 So there's no ambiguity here. He belongs in an asylum and his hard drive needs to be searched. 0.92

00:10:07.840 This is a very sick individual who needs to be treated for this exceedingly obvious disorder.

00:10:13.460 But that's not going to happen. But to the Democrat Party, there's nothing wrong with this picture at all.

00:10:18.240 They're happy this guy is receiving taxpayer funded health care through Medicare.

00:10:22.620 They're thrilled he's running for the Senate. It's not as if the other candidates on the stage were much better.

00:10:28.000 they all want to tax Americans in order to pay health care benefits for foreigners. They all 0.98

00:10:32.660 want to abolish ICE and open the borders. These are all policies that are based on delusions or

00:10:38.300 at a minimum, gross misunderstandings of reality. And if you vote for a Democrat in 2026, that's

00:10:44.220 what you're supporting. Now, if you want to know why, you know, the left has tried to kill comedy,

00:10:49.720 this explains it. Comedy fundamentally involves laughing at things that are incongruous and

00:10:55.400 absurd uh democrats had to try to murder comedy in order to prevent people from laughing at their

00:11:01.080 party in a society with a sense of humor none of this works it's just too hysterical to take 0.69

00:11:06.280 seriously and it kept going uh watch and then with with the trans community like we're being

00:11:13.240 dehumanized they say that we want to hurt people i don't want to hurt anybody i just want to use

00:11:17.720 the bathroom and it and if they want me to use the men's room i will but i don't want to be assaulted

00:11:23.220 it. So put that slogan on a bumper sticker. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just want to use

00:11:30.580 the bathroom. Ashley Webb, 26. That's, you know, by the way, it's always an ominous sign when

00:11:37.420 somebody walks into the bathroom and feels the need to announce that they don't want to hurt

00:11:42.040 anyone. If you're in the bathroom stall and you hear someone walk in and say that I'd be very

00:11:47.100 like, pull your feet up. So they don't know you're in there. Actually, if somebody walks

00:11:50.060 into any room and announces that they don't intend to hurt you, that's pretty much a universal signal

00:11:55.260 that you need to flee the premises before you wind up hanging from meat hooks in their basement.

00:12:01.200 And just the other day, a channel called Inside Blue TV uncovered, you know, this body camera

00:12:06.440 footage from February of last year. And it has to be one of the most dramatic trans freak outs of 1.00

00:12:12.900 all time, which is obviously saying something. This is not Ashley Webb, but, you know, since 1.00

00:12:17.520 we're on the subject. The footage depicts an unstable 27-year-old trans-identifying man having 1.00

00:12:21.800 a meltdown on a college campus, which is University of Central Florida in Orlando,

00:12:26.040 berating and attacking officers. It takes two male officers and multiple taser deployments

00:12:30.420 to subdue this guy. And throughout the footage, the cops keep calling him a male, which,

00:12:35.880 you know, naturally infuriates him even further. Watch.

00:12:40.720 What's the problem? Why do you let those kids get away with this? They are not supposed to 0.99

00:12:47.400 be here if you don't lower your voice i am going to put handcuffs on you and i'm going to take you 0.78

00:12:53.160 to a baker act facility lower your voice try it are you threatening me you're threatening me 0.85

00:13:01.800 are you threatening me i'm nervous because i'm here right now to deal with a stolen vehicle

00:13:06.840 i ain't got time to hear you screaming and yelling i don't have time to constantly be abused we'll

00:13:12.680 get we'll get opd down here then because i gotta i gotta work this stolen vehicle what do you mean

00:13:16.600 OPD. Alpha 73 University. Alpha 73. Can we get another unit to deal with Jay Lee here? He is having a breakdown. Say! Say! Just say the right pronoun! What'd you say? 7351. Get down on the ground right now. No! No! Your body gets sprayed. No! Just let me alone! Get down on the ground right now. Leave me alone! I can come in there. Leave me alone, please! Okay, are you going to calm down?

00:13:45.980 I just want to get away from him

00:14:00.220 Just say say

00:14:13.660 Okay, I think we get the idea

00:14:15.980 All right. Yeah. So there's that. Again, every loyal Democrat voter, every true believer has to

00:14:22.960 affirm this guy's reality. They have no principled way to reject his claim that he's a woman because

00:14:28.620 in their view, everyone who claims to be one is one. It's a circular definition, therefore a 0.53

00:14:32.340 meaningless one, as of course established at great length over the years. And it's why the trans 1.00

00:14:37.040 agenda was a non-starter from the beginning. It's why it's now dead in the water, but the Democrat

00:14:41.920 our party is still officially committed to it, and has to be. After all, relativism, the idea

00:14:47.360 that truth is relative to a person's subjective experience, is a core element, perhaps the core

00:14:53.120 element, arguably, of leftist ideology. And that's why they can't swear off this kind of thing. They

00:14:59.240 can't swear off transgenderism and exile these activists off to the hinterlands as much as they 0.53

00:15:03.960 might want to. They really can't. Here's the guy in the booking photo without the blue wig, by the 0.58

00:15:08.720 way. At least he can see a lot better without the wig in his eyes. Never mind the fact that

00:15:13.140 he's clearly in mental distress. Never mind the fact that he's clearly a danger to everybody

00:15:16.220 around him. Imagine being an actual woman and having to share a dorm or a locker room or a 1.00

00:15:21.200 bathroom with this lunatic. That's what Democrats stand for. That's what their party has become. 1.00

00:15:28.260 And they're too committed now. They can't turn back. In 10 years, they'll probably elect this

00:15:32.980 guy to be the next senator for Maine. So what's a political party to do under these circumstances?

00:15:38.420 You know, you've been fully captured by the most deranged members of society.

00:15:42.800 Your most politically active members spend all their time in echo chambers like Blue Sky, where they become progressively more insane.

00:15:50.500 Most of your voters believe murder is justified in order to defeat their political opponents, which is why they openly celebrated the murders of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson.

00:16:00.620 There's no off-ramp here, so what do you do?

00:16:03.420 If you find yourself feeling unprepared for massive life changes, you're not alone.

00:16:07.440 Most people feel wholly unprepared for all the surprises that life throws at them.

00:16:11.620 Some surprises are welcome, like a wedding or a baby, but some changes are not, like an accident or an untimely death.

00:16:18.180 It's impossible to prepare for every surprise, but you can make a change right now to make sure that if something happens to you, your family is taken care of.

00:18:34.880 of this show. Well, to answer that question, you have to look no further than the New York

00:18:39.640 Times, which is the mouthpiece for the establishment wing of the party. And they just published a

00:18:44.740 puff piece, a Q&A with Zoran Mamdani, in which they begged him to export socialism all across

00:18:52.320 the country. And here's what they asked him, followed by his response. Question, I'm curious

00:18:59.540 how you're planning to use your political capital. Are you planning on getting involved in races

00:19:04.020 outside of New York? Answer, my focus right now is on New York City. Question, if you're wanting to

00:19:10.420 send this message beyond New York, the question obviously is how and when? Answer, I'm still

00:19:16.160 seeing the world like that cover of the New Yorker where it's New York, it's New Jersey,

00:19:19.940 and then it's the rest of the world. But I also think that New Yorkers have sent the message

00:19:23.680 and we've seen these kinds of victories in New Jersey, in Colorado, in California. So

00:19:28.220 they've decided that socialism is the answer. And for obvious reasons, socialism does not rely on

00:19:33.640 popular support. They don't need to win elections. They don't need to appeal to, you know, logic or

00:19:39.560 common sense, certainly not morality. Instead, socialists rely on the power of the state to

00:19:45.480 suppressed dissent. And as history has shown, socialists can seize power very quickly in a

00:19:52.180 revolution that most people don't even support. For a Democrat party that's deeply unpopular and

00:19:57.720 increasingly insane, in a country that's becoming more third world by the day, thanks to unchecked

00:20:03.360 mass migration, socialism becomes a tempting option. And nobody on the right should underestimate

00:20:09.560 what they're planning. Mamdani is the single most dangerous man in the entire country right now,

00:20:15.180 it's not even close for this reason. Over our break, we released the latest episode of

00:20:20.580 My Real History series on the Russian Revolution, which I highly recommend that you watch. In many

00:20:26.240 ways, it's the most important one we've done and the best. We focused on the Bolsheviks' rise to 0.93

00:20:31.540 power in great detail. We covered the similarities to the rise in socialism in the United States

00:20:36.520 today. And it's a fascinating story, one that most people aren't familiar with because schools

00:20:43.120 refuse to tell the truth about communists and their many atrocities. And in short, you have to

00:20:49.360 go watch the entire episode, but the Bolsheviks were not popular. They never were, but they ruled 0.97

00:20:56.240 for decades and they destroyed an empire. They ended millions of lives because they were committed

00:21:01.880 to obtaining power at all costs. They were ruthless. They were shameless. And left unchecked

00:21:08.560 long enough, people who are ruthless and shameless get what they want. That's especially true in the

00:21:15.420 United States today, given that educated left-wing women have become a powerful voting bloc. This is 1.00

00:21:21.580 a demographic that's especially susceptible to socialism for a few reasons. For one thing,

00:21:27.140 socialists don't care about the fact that they'll eventually run out of other people's money. They

00:21:30.940 don't understand how investments work or how everybody responds to incentives. They don't care

00:21:35.520 that socialism has always failed and will always fail wherever it's attempted. That is, if we

00:21:40.640 imagine that the goal is actually to see to the well-being of individuals, then by that measure,

00:21:46.520 it fails. But that actually is not the goal. And they certainly don't care that no country,

00:21:52.300 no matter how wealthy, can support a welfare state with open borders. Economics is too dry

00:21:58.980 and complicated for these people. Instead, socialists are motivated largely by emotion

00:22:03.620 and idealism. Peace, land, and bread is what drove the Bolshevik revolutionaries. They were fed up

00:22:09.660 with World War I and the food shortages, and they reached for some solution, any solution.

00:22:16.840 They weren't debating Marx or anything like that. They weren't holding in-depth discussions about

00:22:21.240 the merits of capitalism versus socialism. They were responding in haste, in panic, to a crisis,

00:22:29.220 and Lenin exploited that.

00:22:30.820 In fact, as we discuss in Real History,

00:22:32.820 one of the socialist main tactics

00:22:34.360 was co-opting university protest movements.

00:22:38.400 University students were upset

00:22:39.780 about the administration's crackdown on partying.

00:22:43.720 And so the socialists swept in,

00:22:46.360 took advantage of that,

00:22:47.440 and urged the students to rebel

00:22:48.700 against the government at large,

00:22:50.400 and it worked.

00:22:52.900 Now, Mamdani is executing a similar strategy in New York.

00:22:55.580 And women, more than any other demographic group,

00:22:59.220 are falling for it. For example, the other day, Mamdani went to Rikers

00:23:02.520 to watch the World Cup with the inmates. And here's some footage of his visit to give you an

00:23:08.980 I hope that this shares with people who are incarcerated here on Reinkers that they too are a part of New York City.

00:23:32.680 The World Cup has been a magical moment for the entire city.

00:23:35.800 These are New Yorkers, and they will be New Yorkers when they get out of Rikers.

00:23:39.160 They're New Yorkers today, and I wanted to make sure that we could celebrate this moment together.

00:23:43.640 I met one New Yorker for whom today is his final day on Rikers, and he's heading home tonight.

00:23:48.740 He was saying he's going to see his mother, he's going to see his daughter, and he's going to get right back to work.

00:23:52.500 That's a lovely thing to be able to share with someone. 0.51

00:23:54.660 So it's a room full of dangerous criminal sociopaths laughing and having a great time, 0.53

00:24:05.120 which you might argue makes it no different from Congress. Very little difference between 0.93

00:24:09.300 watching that clip and watching C-SPAN, which is true. Yet still, it's one of the most disgraceful

00:24:14.380 displays by a politician in living memory. I mean, imagine being the victim of one of these

00:24:18.980 criminals or one of their family members. These are people who are supposedly being punished for

00:24:25.660 their actions to the point that they were incarcerated, which if you know anything about

00:24:29.040 New York is quite a feat. I mean, you can commit arson at Fox's headquarters. Literally, you can

00:24:34.520 burn their Christmas tree down in broad daylight and you'll get out of jail in 24 hours. You can

00:24:39.140 repeatedly assault women on the subway. You can even break a woman's nose as Jordan Neely did,

00:24:43.260 spend no time in prison for it. So with that in mind, if somebody is spending a long time in

00:24:49.360 Rikers Island, it's a guarantee that they were extremely committed to being a vicious, dangerous,

00:24:55.000 antisocial criminal. These are the kinds of people that are there and that Zohar Mamdani was, you 0.76

00:24:59.800 know, having a soccer party with. But to Mamdani, these inmates don't deserve punishment. Instead,

00:25:06.140 they deserve a World Cup watch party. Any rational person understand what's going on here. He wants

00:25:12.400 to, well, he really wants to spring every single criminal loose. I mean, he fully believes in

00:25:17.540 defunding the police and ending all incarceration as all socialists do. In fact, one of the main

00:25:22.220 ways the Russian revolution got off the ground is that at precisely the worst moment, many

00:25:27.700 Bolsheviks were released from prison. Again, we cover this in the episode, which you can watch

00:25:31.540 now. And this is not an exaggeration where it applies to Mamdani. During the campaign,

00:25:36.800 Mamdani made it clear that he wants to abolish all prisons. He's very explicit about that. Watch.

00:25:42.400 But how does abolishing prisons or having open borders fit into that?

00:25:46.960 I mean, do you see how those are ideas that a lot of your Democrats that are warning about what happened here say are toxic?

00:25:52.940 Most of America won't go along with it.

00:25:54.380 They're bad ideas.

00:25:55.500 They're dangerous ideas.

00:25:56.940 I think what the focus of her race was, what the focus of her candidacy was, was about the struggle that working people are facing.

00:26:02.940 And I think that we can have disagreements on policy positions.

00:26:05.960 What we have to agree on is what are we fighting for and who are we fighting for?

00:26:09.300 She showed that in her race, and I think that many people will come to appreciate that in her leadership to come.

00:26:14.260 So we can disagree on something as basic as whether or not there should be prisons?

00:26:17.780 That's not your position.

00:26:18.940 There are prisons, and what we're also showing in this city is that safety is not something that's up for debate.

00:26:27.960 So the ABC anchor says we can disagree on something as basic as we should have prisons.

00:26:32.800 Mamdani says there are prisons.

00:26:36.500 Well, yeah, that was not what he said.

00:26:39.300 We're not disagreeing on whether there are prisons. That's established. Should there be, though? And Mamdani thinks that there shouldn't. That's what he actually thinks.

00:26:51.900 Now, if you want the United States to continue to exist as a country, then all of this is unacceptable to you. You understand that, obviously, we need prisons in order to protect innocent people from barbarians.

00:27:01.760 You also understand that the role of prison is to punish criminals, not to reward them. I mean, 0.96

00:27:06.980 these are basic, these are the basic building blocks of civilization. But many female voters, 1.00

00:27:13.120 in particular in New York, don't see it that way. All over TikTok, you'll find videos in which women 1.00

00:27:17.440 were weeping over Mamdani's visit to Rikers. They just couldn't contain themselves.

00:27:24.360 And they present Mamdani as a Christ-like figure, as a Muslim who's actually more Christian than

00:27:29.620 any of his critics. Now, fair warning, if you're a big supporter of the 19th Amendment,

00:27:33.880 then these clips might cause a certain amount of cognitive dissonance. But here they are. Watch.

00:27:41.060 Mayor Maldani. Mayor Maldani just watched the World's Cup on Rakers Island.

00:27:47.900 Like, who would do that? No. Has any mayor ever done something like that? I love this man too much.

00:27:55.320 i love this man and he is the best mayor new york city has ever seen will ever see well hopefully

00:28:02.120 not but hopefully we always you know progress but oh my god like that just made me so emotional

00:28:08.840 like no one would think to do that and him and his team did oh goodness gracious goodness gracious

00:28:17.880 So I ran Mamdani watching the World Cup with inmates at Rikers Island and just showing the humanity.

00:28:29.780 He's more Christian than most Christians I've ever seen.

00:28:34.760 And they demonize him.

00:28:36.760 They demonize him.

00:28:38.140 And he's just out here loving people and trying to do good by them.

00:28:43.040 I will never understand it.

00:28:44.740 I've studied scripture and tried to follow Jesus my entire life. My faith wasn't just

00:28:50.240 something that I did. It was the bedrock foundation of who I was. And it was that

00:28:55.160 same longing to chase after Jesus that led me to deconstruction. I followed Jesus

00:29:00.880 right out of the church. So I have a pretty good biblical idea of what Jesus is supposed to look

00:29:09.240 like. And Mayor Mondani looks more like Jesus than any human I have ever seen with my eyes.

00:29:18.720 He is following through with all the things that Jesus said. I was hungry and you gave me food. He

00:29:25.900 has helped forth low-income people having food that's available and healthy. He is looking after

00:29:34.060 the widows and the orphans and he watched part of the world cup at rikers island with the prisoners

00:29:41.160 and said these are new yorkers and they'll be new yorkers when they get out jesus said

00:29:46.140 for i was in prison and you came and visited me mayor mondani i have undying respect for you and

00:29:54.500 your faith and i hope you know this is uh meant as the highest compliment i can give another human

00:30:01.120 being. Okay. I see Jesus in you. Yeah, yeah. So we get the idea. You know, I will say the ability

00:30:09.060 of every woman on TikTok to just cry on command with real tears is kind of disturbing. I mean, 0.99

00:30:16.020 that's one of those things that you think, it's like a mark of a good actor, you know? It shouldn't

00:30:21.520 be that easy to do. Just generate real tears and cry. Every woman with a TikTok account can do it.

00:30:28.540 tells you something. Nobody wakes up excited to deal with Medicare, and yet it is one of the

00:30:35.560 most consequential financial decisions you'll make. So maybe give it more than five minutes.

00:30:39.640 Here's the part that should make you angry. Insurance companies are out there paying agents

00:30:43.420 to steer you into specific plans, whether those plans fit you or not. Nobody's telling you that.

00:30:48.640 Most people assume they've seen all their options. They haven't, not even close. Chapter is different.

00:30:54.160 They don't work for big insurance. They work for you. They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide, every single one. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your actual situation, and they give you a straight answer. No angle, no agenda. If you're on the right plan, they will tell you. If not, they'll help you switch. People who've found new plans through Chapter have saved over $1,100 a year on average.

00:31:17.260 It's free.

00:31:17.800 Under 20 minutes, you'll get a straight answer,

00:31:19.580 which is more than Medicare has ever given you.

00:31:21.600 Visit dailywire.com slash chapter today.

00:31:25.840 You just can't have a civilization

00:31:28.400 in which these people have a significant amount of power

00:31:30.520 to choose our leaders.

00:31:31.360 It's not possible.

00:31:33.080 There's a lot of psychology here,

00:31:35.080 including the success of the entire true crime genre.

00:31:38.180 We could spend an hour talking about 0.98

00:31:39.500 why so many women are sympathetic to criminals 1.00

00:31:41.620 who would happily murder them in a dark alley. 1.00

00:31:43.940 uh we could talk about all the insane rationalizations they'll use to justify their

00:31:49.980 various fantasies but suffice to say you know none of these women cried on camera over lakin

00:31:54.940 riley who was brutally murdered on the campus of the university of georgia by a rabid venezuelan

00:32:00.480 or aiden clark the kid who was killed by the haitian driving on the wrong side of the road 0.56

00:32:05.940 or billy schmidt the penn state student who was shot to death by two black thugs who stole his 0.98

00:32:10.960 cell phone. These women are only sympathetic towards the worst among us. They want them to 0.97

00:32:16.460 watch the World Cup and have a party. They want them back on the streets because

00:32:20.320 they have no understanding of how the world works, nor do they care. They're driven solely by

00:32:26.280 emotion. Democrats like Mamdani are taking full advantage of these people.

00:32:31.940 That's not even getting into the theology or lack thereof on display in those clips.

00:32:37.180 needless to say there's nothing in the scripture that says that we should throw parties for hardened

00:32:43.200 criminals in Rikers as you saw in that footage these people were not abandoned or forsaken in

00:32:49.540 prison they were living it up and there's certainly nothing in the scripture that

00:32:53.900 commands mayors to stage photo ops complete with camera crews and security details inside a prison

00:32:59.760 like Rikers Island you know there's a line in that parable when they ask Lord when did we see

00:33:06.520 hungry or thirsty or in prison. And the whole point is that they did a good thing without the

00:33:10.940 pageantry, without drawing attention to it for their own ends. Mamdani, on the other hand,

00:33:15.300 visited the prisoners in order to serve his own cynical political ambitions. And so then he's

00:33:20.320 what Jesus would call and did call many times in the gospels, a hypocrite. And here's another 0.99

00:33:25.580 example from the Post Millennial, citing reporting from the New York Post. Mamdani is now paying

00:33:30.880 drug users for injecting themselves with heroin. It's a supposedly compassionate policy that

00:33:36.500 It makes no sense if you think about it for five seconds, which is why New York's electorate, mostly single left-wing women and foreigners, love it.

00:33:44.800 Quote, Socialist New York City Mayor Zora Mamdani has quietly made a pilot program that pays drug users for their used needles.

00:33:53.740 The Big Apple's budget for the fiscal year includes $3 million to maintain the health department's community syringe redemption program.

00:34:02.940 The program pays junkies 20 cents per syringe turned in.

00:34:07.160 Those using drugs can get paid for up to 50 used needles a day for $10

00:34:12.160 and can turn them in at eight different drop-off sites.

00:34:15.500 The sites are located in the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and Brooklyn.

00:34:18.260 The program was piloted as something that would get used needles off the streets

00:34:21.240 and off public property.

00:34:22.540 It was initially approved with legislation that was passed in 2022.

00:34:25.320 The official program started in 2025.

00:34:26.820 over 2.3 million needles have been collected with the program over its first 16 months,

00:34:33.020 leading to payouts of nearly $300,000 in cash. The program was supposed to help the Sanitation

00:34:38.700 Department with its efforts in picking up used needles around parks and other public places.

00:34:42.840 The department says that they are still picking up the same number of needles as before the program

00:34:46.700 was launched. Oh, you think? So as a practical matter, the program is about, you know, about

00:34:51.920 as successful as all those homelessness prevention programs that take in billions of dollars

00:34:57.120 in donations and tax revenue and grant money every single year.

00:35:02.200 It's counterproductive in every imaginable way.

00:35:04.520 There's no logic behind it.

00:35:06.600 Very clearly, it will accelerate the destruction of New York City.

00:35:10.840 And now it's permanent.

00:35:13.500 Now, as a matter of policy, New Yorkers will now be forced to pay the junkies for overdosing

00:35:17.780 on the sidewalk outside their homes.

00:35:19.340 Because it turns out that, I mean, who would have thought, when you give junkies money for their heroin needles, when you give them the $10 for the $50 that they turned in or whatever it is, what do they go do with the $10?

00:35:33.700 Oh, they go buy more heroin that they use, which also translates to more needles.

00:35:42.980 Now, of course, that's not all they're going to pay for.

00:35:45.800 Many other similar programs are in the works.

00:35:47.540 Again, this is from the Postmillennial, quote, Socialist New York City Mayor Zoram Amdani is offering even more free taxpayer-funded programs, including a new pilot program that's meant to provide babysitting for parents who are looking to have a night out.

00:36:01.960 Amdani announced the Parents Night Out program that will give free babysitting to parents on August 16th from 4 to 8 p.m. for up to 500 children.

00:36:09.920 Registration for the program opened at 8 a.m. on Monday.

00:36:13.480 We'll run for seven days with spots available on a first-come, first-served basis.

00:36:18.400 Programming for the children includes supervised games, sports, and fitness activities, arts and crafts, media education programs, and nature exploration.

00:36:26.540 And the program will be led by urban park rangers and trained NYC park staff.

00:36:31.700 The program will be open to families with kids who are ages 6 to 13.

00:36:35.780 The children will be watched at designated city recreation centers.

00:36:39.920 In support of the policy, Mamdani said, quote,

00:36:43.400 Every parent knows that a few hours to yourself can feel like a luxury.

00:36:47.140 It shouldn't be.

00:36:48.220 Making New York City more affordable isn't just about lowering costs.

00:36:51.320 It's about giving people back their time.

00:36:54.780 Well, this is now the platform of the Democrat Party.

00:36:57.760 In their view, it's the role of the state to confiscate your money

00:37:01.380 and then redistribute it for the benefit of Democrat voters, 0.98

00:37:04.420 most of them foreigners who don't even belong in the country, 0.73

00:37:07.540 so that in this case they can have a night out. 0.94

00:37:09.920 because also the other thing that the government that they want is for the kids your kids to spend

00:37:15.540 more time in the care of government employees which of course what this is really about

00:37:19.620 most of these kids already spend they already spend all day in uh yeah this is great they

00:37:25.520 spend all day in a in the public school system being cared for by government employees and uh

00:37:30.780 and then when they get home just drop them back and then and then they'll be home for like an hour

00:37:34.380 and just drop them right back with the government employees just make sure your kids are never

00:37:38.180 around you. They spend every waking moment being cared for by a government employee. It sounds like

00:37:42.740 a great idea. And if you're going to do that, why not have the government pay for, you know,

00:37:48.660 everyone to have a house and a salary of $100,000 a year and a, you know, a fun little hobby and a

00:37:53.380 nice car and a pet gerbil. As long as we're spending money that we don't have, what exactly

00:37:57.780 is the limiting principle here? Don't ask the women or the foreigners who voted for Mamdani. 0.76

00:38:02.920 They don't know or care. Half of them don't even speak English, so they have no idea what you're 1.00

00:38:07.620 talking about anyway. Young men today have been fed a very disturbing lie for decades now. They're

00:38:13.400 told that they should go to university, straight out of college, take on thousands of dollars in

00:38:17.900 debt before they even know what they want to do with their life, with the goal at the end being

00:38:22.200 a piece of paper that supposedly will help them land a high-paying job. But as many men have found

00:38:27.280 out the hard way, that was all a lie. Our sponsor, Grand Canyon University, has a different message

00:38:32.220 to tell you, though. Whether you're looking to finish a degree, develop new skills, or prepare

00:38:37.940 for a different career path, GCU is built to help you move forward with purpose. And while many

00:38:43.320 colleges continue to increase tuition, Grand Canyon University has held tuition rates steady

00:38:48.320 on its traditional campus for 17 years. That's part of its commitment to making higher education

00:38:53.320 more affordable and more accessible for you. Whether you want to study on campus in Phoenix

00:38:57.900 or online from wherever you are,

00:39:00.380 GCU offers hundreds of degree programs

00:39:02.440 that fit real life.

00:39:04.180 More than 132,000 students

00:39:05.940 have chosen Grand Canyon University

00:39:07.440 because they want an education

00:39:09.160 connected to opportunity,

00:39:10.840 leadership, and purpose.

00:39:12.140 If you're thinking about your next step,

00:39:14.400 now is a great time to explore

00:39:16.140 what GCU has to offer.

00:39:27.900 It's important to emphasize that while Democrats are busy enacting socialism in New York and several other states, the Trump administration is showing signs that it's backing down to some extent in the fight against the illegal invaders inside the country.

00:39:41.220 This is from a recent article in The New York Times, quote, federal prosecutors in Illinois said they were upholding the rule of law in October when they charged six protesters with conspiring to interfere with a federal agent after a clash outside an immigration detention center.

00:39:54.760 That felony charge could have carried years in prison for the defendants, who included a Democratic congressional candidate, a village trustee, and a candidate for county office.

00:40:03.120 But in a surprise move on Wednesday, months after the end of the immigration enforcement blitz that set off the protest, prosecutors told a judge they would dismiss the remaining felony charges and proceed with only misdemeanors.

00:40:14.720 The decision was a significant retreat in a case that captured the attention of the Justice Department's highest ranking officials and brought accusations from Democrats.

00:40:22.160 that prosecutors were pursuing a political agenda. This case has cost myself, one of my closest

00:40:27.100 friends, and four others, immeasurable amounts of stress, money, and opportunity. Kat Abugazela,

00:40:32.160 one of the defendants said on social media after the hearing, Ms. Abugazela, who lost her Democratic

00:40:36.380 primary for Congress last month, described the dismissal on Wednesday as a huge win,

00:40:41.620 but noted that she was still awaiting trial on the misdemeanor charge.

00:40:45.360 So they're eliminating the felony charge against these Democrats, including Kat Abugazela,

00:40:49.980 because they supposedly didn't engage in a conspiracy to impede ICE.

00:40:55.300 Meanwhile, we have multiple videos of this woman on camera 0.75
