Hey, on today's podcast, we go deep on the machinery of the DSA. We got a big special happening tonight, so we talk a lot about that and the DSA rising. Is that a problem? What is the problem with their rising? And El-Sayed, the anti- El-Sayed and Obama plus crazy professors that you don't want to miss all on today's podcast.
Just trying to be Zen with my candle. Just try to be Zen. Breathe deep. Lord, be with me today to stop me from saying things that are motivated by the dark side.
Okay, let's start with Mamdani.
Mamdani, the first October 7th statement the mayor made, he mourned the Hamas attack and called Israel's war in Gaza a genocide. Okay, on his own youth section now, this is what he did. Accused Washington of complicity with every armed shipment. I'd read you the whole thing, but it's really not worth reading. He starts the first paragraph and, oh my gosh, we got to recognize, and then two other paragraphs follow it, and it is all about Hamas in Gaza. Okay? It is like he took 9-11 and made it into a day of morning for Al-Qaeda. That's what he did.
While he was doing that, he had his own DSA members outside, Campus Youth DSA. They're rallying outside of City Hall, accusing him of capitulating to Zionist pressures.
His own promotional material, called October 7th, the day, Resistance Against Imperialism, Changed the Fate of Our World Forever. The outside, they're saying, glory to the martyrs.
Okay, so what happened yesterday? Well, he went to a vigil, and that's what made everybody upset. He went to an Israel group, and he was standing with them to mourn with the Jews. But what was the Israel group that he went and stood with? This group is a group of Jewish Israelis, I guess, that think that Israel is committing genocide. So he's not standing, he's standing with the same kind of Palestinian supporters. Then at the end, after he does this, he's got both sides mad at him. After this, he has dinner at the only Palestinian restaurant in New York. Could he be more clear? Could he be more clear? Now, so you know, this is everywhere. James Talrico, James Talrico has been saying that Democrats need to adopt Mamdani's talking points. Okay, so that includes rent freezes, city-operated grocery stores, free public transportation and higher taxes. Okay, okay. He responded saying Democrats need a giant tent and that's going to mean Democratic Socialists. He has also previously said that radicalized white men are the biggest domestic terrorist threat in the country. He calls racism a virus saying white skin gives me and every white American immunity from the virus, but we spread it wherever we go through our words, our actions and our systems. We don't have to be showing symptoms like a white hood or a Confederate flag to be contagious. He's also argued that God is binary, transgenderism and abortion are acceptable under religion. Yes, the same religion that was giving the prayer in Iowa. It's totally acceptable. In fact, it's celebrated. Tonight in our special, I'm going to show you how the DSA has grown. I'm going to show you that it is not what you think it is. I'm going to show you how other governments are involved. Friendly governments are involved.
Are the DSA, are they extremist and dangerous? Or are they irrelevant?
Because those are the two arguments. They're irrelevant, they're not that big of a deal. Or they're extremist and they're dangerous. Let's look at their platform. Their platform is calling for the end of capitalism. It says food, education, energy, medicine, transportation are not businesses, they're common goods, which means someone else owns them. The end of capitalism owning the means of production for food, education, energy, medicine, transportation. Quote, they're not businesses. Oh, okay. All right, well, good. Then we could go back to the way the Soviet Union was doing food. It worked out so well. And medicine and transportation, oh, who doesn't remember the zil? Oh, I know who doesn't remember the zil. Anyone who has been educated past 1985, because after 1985, no one taught anything.
The platform calls for that. It calls for the defunding of the military, abolishing all border controls. Last month, the organization says it rejects authoritarian socialism, published a statement commemorating the 100 years of Fidel Castro. Oh, so you don't want to be like the authoritarian, but you celebrate Fidel Castro. You know what? It's so amazing. Most of America, you don't need people like me. You really don't. You don't need people like me who are telling you what's going on. You don't need an investigator. You don't need investigative journalist. You need a printer. You need to go on a website like the DSA and print what they say.
