So, as John Fetterman called it, the dancing days for the dirt bag left are here. Huzzah, huzza, huzza. Oh, the white rich socialists in New York City, they have gotten what they wanted. They've got some socialists now through the Democrat Party primary, knocking off a bunch of Democrat quote unquote establishment incumbents. And I think, as Dennis Prager always says, he doesn't seek agreement, he seeks clarity. This should be our moment of clarity, and it should be a moment of clarity for the Democrat Party. I keep telling them this. I don't think they believe me. They don't want to believe me. I don't know, but the Democratic Socialists of America the DSA. They hate you Democrats like they hate you. Just listen to them. They're only using your party. Why are they using your party to win seats? And then they will take over your party and as I have said repeatedly, also your party. You you guys do not have any kind of natural immunity to this kind of Marxism. You are either left exposed because you kind of sort of are okay with some of the ideas expressed in Marxism, but mainly you're moral relativists, and because of that, you don't want to judge. I can't say that that's right or wrong. Remember when Carla Cunningham, Democrat state lawmaker from Charlotte, and she got on the floor of the House during a debate about whether or not North Carolina sheriffs should be forced to cooperate with immigration and customs enforcement and getting violent illegal aliens deported from the jailhouse. And all the Democrats were opposed to this because that's where their base is. Their base is radicalized by the Marxists. And I'm going to go over some of the comments that these DSA candidates made and you will see, like this is true, this is why they are taking more and more and more radical left wing positions is because that's where their base is. And that's because the DSA has been allowed to infiltrate their party, and the Democrats don't have a natural immunity because when Carla Cunningham got up and said that all cultures are not equal, they're not the same, and she was savaged for it by her own party members. That's moral relativism when you cannot even recognize the reality of a thing. Certainly one would believe, I would think that if one is rational, if one has touched grass recently, as the kids might say, you would recognize that a culture that, for example, slaughters its own children on alters to gods, Well, okay, maybe that's not so great because it's a little too close to the abortion process. So okay, how about this a society that engages in the mass rape of its women. Right, that might not be on a as part of a cultural comparison, That might not be the best thing when compared to say, a culture that does not do that. Right, one would say that one is better than the other, and you are infusing that opinion with an understanding that some things are good and some things are evil. Some things are right and somethings are wrong. Right, But if you can't even say those things because I don't want to judge, who am I to judge? Right, you now don't have any ability to make those types of judgments when it comes to policies, right, when it comes to electing candidates. And here's the proof. This is from Brianna Lyman. She is the host of Countdown to Freedom over at the Federalist, and she points out that in seven months, Democrats have elected or nominated a man who fantasized about murdering Republicans and their children, a man with a Nazi tattoo, an Al Qaeda volunteer, a woman who said the US is a bleeping disgrace, and a woman who said nine to eleven was our fault. Right. When you cannot determine what is true and what is false, what is good and what is bad, this is what you end up with. So Marvin wants to disagree with me, So front of the line, Marvin, welcome to the show. Yes, Marvin, hello, Hello, Oh yeah, I'm good. Uh oh Marvin, hang on are you are you driving? Because you have apparently entered a bad cell zone. Democratic Party. But Marvin, I'm only Marvin, I'm only catching about every every third or fourth word that you're saying. Are you in a are you in a bad cell Are you sound like you're in a bad cell zone? Yes, sir, I get off speak a bone? Yes, please, yeah, get off of this. Sure, Okay, I'm gonna have to put him on hold, see if he will, Uh, Marvin, if you can hang on, please do so. I will take your call. I want to hear what you have to say, but I can't hear what you have to say because the connection is just awful. So maybe try call him back. We'll get a better cell there. So keep in mind the the Democrat socialist of America. According to a survey that was done a couple of years ago, I want to say, it was like twenty twenty one, it's like eighty five percent white, predominantly you know, wealthy, predominantly college degrees. So what does that mean? I mean, these are your. Elite quote unquote elite, or as I call them, the fo elite. These are the elite leftists who are telling poor minorities what's best for them because the white, wealthy, over educated leftist polites know better for you than you do for you. And if you want another example of this, Richie Taurres, pro Israel guy in a primary fight against a socialist up there in it's in New York City. I forget what maybe the Bronx or something. I forget what is this? I think it's the Bronx. But he won. Why his district is predominantly black. The districts that were won by these socialists yesterday in New York City, they were dare I say gentrified. A lot of wealthy white people living in these districts and they really really love them. Some champagne socialism and big winner Zorn Mam Donnie New York City Sultan, I mean mayor right, big winner, a bunch of his. He went three for three on his endorsements. All the DSA people won also, Big winner National Republicans. Why because a lot of the candidates that made it through the primaries are. Crazy all right?

Hello, thank you. Oh yeah, much much better, much better. Thank you for taking my call again. I was just in your comment concerning what happened in New York and just said to Democrats are gonna take over thet is gonna take. Over Democratic Party? Yeah, okay, And I have a hard. Time believe in that, cause you would the mega have done to Republican Party. If you don't agree with somebody one hundred time, Donald Trump, because the United. States, you can't be a part of that party or you are called Moorado time. Hang on, Marvin, that's okay. What you have just outlined in your argument is what is called a non sequitur, which means one does not follow it does not follow the other. Right, So you're you want to disagree with my assertion that the socialists are taking over the Democrat Party. And then you said the reason why that can't be true is because look at MAGA and the Republicans. But that doesn't But that doesn't follow one is the Republican Party and one is the Democrat Party. In fact, I could argue that they are similar in that you've got the taking over of a political party by a particular element of that base. So if anything, you citing maga's takeover of the Republican Party, that that would actually be proof more towards my argument than yours. So I'm curious, though, why you don't think that the socialists are on the march inside the Democrat Party. Why do you think that's not occurring? Well, the Reality. Party has maybe two to five percent of by and support that no matter what they. Do, that they didn't cras go along with the megapody. Requires again, Marvin, hang on, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, are you are you able to are you able to discuss? I mean, I understand you've got all these opinions about MAGA and Trump and all of that. I'm talking about what's happening inside the Democrat Party or so are you a Democrat? Are you a member of the Democrat Party? Well, actually I'm unaffiliated. Okay, Democrats. I was like when it was Donald Reagan. Yeah, I was okay with zoom. But it has is not that it's not that party anymore. Is okay? Well, okay, fine, fine, but okay, right, But what you're what you're talking about has been occurring for ten years, and I've talked at length about the parties are realigning. This has been occurring for the last decade. I've talked at length about the realignment of the parties. And the Republicans did theirs started down this path first mainly because they had lost, right, and so when you lose, you have to kind of change things. Democrats that now, having lost to Donald Trump twice, they are now in the same sort of process, and so they're realigning as well. And what they are realigning towards is more to the left. They are going further to the left on virtually every one of their policies. And Okay, each. Bush had two terms and offers, we didn't change record, had two terms in office. We didn't change. We have Yeah, of course you did. Ok. We're happen to win. We happen to win the presidency. We had Clinton twice, right. But what did Clinton do? Remember Clinton did the famous triangulation. Remember that he changed yes, yeah, yeah, so he had to adopt and and Democrats adopted. Democrats used to agree with Republicans on immigration, right on border security and all of that. So can you can you do you know of a single policy where Democrats have become, say, more conservative and not more left wing? Uh? Yes? Before us Trump taught the agreement that the Senate and the House that for the new Bordeviille, which he wanted for his own personal juice, and told the told Mike Johnson not to put it up. We had a comprehensive immigration policy, did both parties and freedoms. Only reason why I didn't go through because one man, one man only how the House. The Yeah, I'm aware of the story and that and right, I'm aware of that story, Marvin. And I'm not going to go over I'm not going to go in. I'm not going to go through the details of it. I would. All I'm going to say, though, is your mistaken on that. But even your example, I asked you for an example of how Democrats became more conservative on something, and your example is that Democrats took the position that they already had before Donald Trump became president. They already the border security issue was something Democrats used to. Agree on Barack Obama. Barack Obama talked about border security, right, So so how did they become more conservative by keeping to a position that they all already held? One? Did you leave not your question which is a big factor in this on why the borders became overrun because a little play called COVID. No, that's not true. Either immigration dropped during you know, no immigration dropped during Marvin. So again, you keep wanting to you keep wanting to shift this discussion onto how terrible Trump is, how terrible Republicans are, and all I'm asking, and Marvin Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, Marvin, All, I'm all. I'm asking. I'm trying to talk about what is occurring inside the Democratic Party, why they are moving to the left. And you reject this premise, but you haven't given me any examples as to why that is a mistaken premise. That's what I'm asking for. Why is that wrong? It's a mis second premise. Here's the second premise. Thirty three special ejections has been held, only two sometis. Have won in that time period. So how was this big movement of this dual. Where are you talking when you say special elections? What are you talking about? Special elections? Are you talking about like non governors of the governor that was elected the House replevasions that have been elected. So all right, so just regular elections are you talking about? Are you talking about primary elections? Are you talking because, like you said, only two Democratic Socialists have won, but three in New York City have I mean actually four to count AOC. They won a primary. Yeah, well those are elections. Well, I mean they won a primary. Correct, and in a city, and in a city like New York City, the Democrat who wins the primary is going to win the general because there aren't any Republican voters to vote them out. That's the same thing as South Carolina. Yeah, okay, we're going in circles, Marvin. You're not presenting evidence to support your claims. I appreciate the call from the text line seven O four number. This is Robert who says, for all of those who would tell me not to be judgmental, I would say to them, do not judge my judgmentalism. I see here, Corey, that call you took with Marvin and didn't even let him talk. How dare you just picking on you can't wait until he calls back. Oh he did call back. Okay, so that was Corey's joke from the from the first time. Yeah, I couldn't hear what he was saying. Um Stanley says at the break transition, it sounded like you and Pam were trying to outbiden each other. Nobody outbidens me. Come on now, aight, oh, three number says. Cultural relativism is a scourge that has infested American politics for decades. It has become the default for Democrats, and luckily Trump was successful at purging that way of thinking from most on the right. Although it is like the anti Western black pill ideology. If you want a dose of it, I would not recommend it because it's it's you can get hooked on it very easily. That's the Tucker Carlson wing. That's where you go to find that kind of you know, all is lost, We are terrible, our civilization is terrible, and all of that. It's become so embedded in our culture to not look at everything through relativism. But even worse is that we automatically assume our Western Christian culture is worse from the start. Yeah, it is. And this is why the Red Green Alliance gains traction on the left, because the thing that they share is a rejection of the greatness of Western civilization. They don't like it. They believe it is systemically inherently institutionally evil. It's bad. All the past sins, none of the past benefits. Right has to be dismantled, the patriarchy, systems of oppression, blah blah, blah, blah blah. And so they find common cause in their as anti Western posture. That's why they align themselves together, and that is what is animating the Democrat Party base now, especially with a lot of the young voters. There's some of this on the right too, by the way, it's dressed up differently, usually with a cloak of pseudo Christianism. It's not even Christianity, I don't it's something else. There is a small contingent on the quote unquote right. But then I just saw Tucker Carlson says he's leaving the Republican Party. Fantastic for him, I guess, But that's also further proof that he's engaged in some sort of political project that he's building. But what I find interesting with Marvin's call there is you know, I have talked at length for a decade about the rise of trump Ism inside of the Republican Party and what that means for, you know, the party's planks in their platform, the things that Republicans and specifically conservatives, have believed in, what they have voted for. And this has been unsettling for a lot of conservatives because Trump, I've said this for over a decade. Trump is not a conservative. Trump is a New York. Sort of Reagan Democrat, even though he didn't really like Reagan so much. That's what he is. He's an old school, nineteen eighties era Democrat, which is hilarious that the Democrat I hate him so much when he was of them. For so long. And maybe that's why, because like apostasy, you know, it's like the unforgivable sin, I guess for authoritarians, which is why they call for you to be murdered if you try to leave Islam. Same thing I guess with the Democrat Party. But this has been going on for a while and I've been talking about that for a long time, and this is why I say that the parties are realigning And what is obvious at this point to all but who refused to see, is that the Republican Party is becoming more of a nationalist party. And I know that the left uses that as a slur. I do not. A nationalist party is one that promotes its nation. The left likes this white nationalist party in order to try to, you know, hook it to Nazism or something. But nationalism is patriotism. It's pride in your country, the belief that your country is great, that you're going to do things for the benefit of your country first. This is America first. Right, That's what the Republican Party is turning into has been for a while and as their primary focus because the Republican Party, aside from like the Bush era, I would say, when there was this push for globalization and all of that stuff, right, this reemergence of nationalism. But on the left, where are they realigning? And Marvin's inability to grapple with the premise, he couldn't even bring himself to acknowledge that this thing is occurring, talking about only two out of thirty three special elections or something. Yeah, I'm talking about the elections yesterday where three of them just won. Okay, Like the writing is on the wall here. The polling all shows this going in one direction, and it is a trend line that has only accelerated on the left. And if you refuse to acknowledge it, you're not even going to be able to address it. So here is proof for Marvin who called earlier and did not want to really grapple with the concept that the Democrat Party is being taken over by socialists, despite the fact that Democratic Socialists have. Been winning primaries. They won clean sweep last night up in New York City, and now so they'll now have what five members of Congress. So here's Harry Enton on CNN talking about the rise of popularity for socialism, particularly among Democrats. Oh, hang on a second, hang on, hang on, hang on, I have to unmute. All right, when we talk about Democratic Socialists, how are they viewed inside the Democratic Party? Yeah, you know, you mentioned New York, you mentioned Vermont. Obviously there's the DC mayor. We've seen it in Pennsylvania as well. The Democratic Socialists seem to be doing considerably better than they used to be, and they have the chance to not go off. In fact, democratic incumbents in Congress. And part of the reason for that why we're seeing these democratic socialists having such good chances or outright winning nominations is take a look here net favorability among Dems democratic socialists of America. Look at that, a plus seventeen point net favorability ringing democrats. That is actually better. That is better than how congressional democrats are viewed by democrats. That just puts four points. So no wonder that democratic socialists have such a good chance, because simply put, they are a better brand at this point than democrats in Congress. Among democrats, it's interesting to see who they like more, all right, And you've used this number before. I always find this fascinating when you compare socialism to capitalisms. How are they doing right now? How are they doing right now? Among democrats? You see this democratic socialis in America more positive than congressional democrats. And I'll tell you take a look at the trend line that favorable rating among democrats on socialism, and look at this. In twenty ten, they were about equal. Fifty percent had a favorable view of socialism. Fifty one percent said the same about capitalism. But capitalism has absolutely fallen through the floor. Look at this, it's now just forty two percent of Democrats who have a favorable view of capitalism. Socialism, on the other hand, up like a rocket. Look at this, two in three Democrats have a favorable view of socialism. So socialism is on the rise among Democrats, capitalism is on the decline among Democrats. And again this is part of the longer term trend in which we are seeing democratic socialists doing considerably better among Democrats electing the mayor right here in New York City. For example. And as we said, there, oh interesting. See. So that's the data, that's the reality. And as Rush Limbaugh used to say, we live in Realville. I am a resident, he's the mayor. I am a resident of real And when I see polling that shows two thirds of Democrats have a more favorable view of socialism than capitalism, then I take them at their word. They like socialism. They are voting for socialists out and proud socialists. This is who they are platforming, it's who they are voting for, it's what they are telling pollsters they support. So that's where the Democrat Party is moving, as is evidenced in the election outcomes last night. Socialist mayor zoron Mamdani's far left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls all one, he went three for three in his endorsements. There's also a clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in the state races as well, meaning that he is a expanding his socialist wave in the Big Apple Becausio Cortes AOC. Right, she's already a member of Congress up there, probably going to run for what Senate against Chuck Shuma, or she maybe he retires and doesn't face her, or maybe she runs for president. Right, we shall see. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
