The reason why I talk about this New York City mayoral primary race we don't live in New York City. But it is my opinion, and it's just my opinion. I could be wrong. I mean I usually don't hold opinions that I think are wrong, So if I am wrong, I will change my opinion. But my opinion on this is that Democrats are right now at a national level, they are at an inflection point. And this is well, I guess it's true, you know, across the board throughout all the states. Last hour, we talked about, you know, the listening tour, the Democrats that attempt to get you know, rural voters back, you know, into their camp. We've talked about that over the last two years, Democrats are going to have to fight internally. They're going to have to take back control of their party from the radical left that has made common cause with the Islamists. This is the Red Green alliance, Okay, the communists and the Islamists. Read is the commies obviously, and the Islamists are the Green and they are They've made common cause. They've banded together because what is their their unifying goal. As I always say, the issue isn't the issue. The issue is the revolution. That's the thing that binds them together. And if Democrats are not down with the revolution tearing apart the entire institution of America, then they're going to have to fight this from the inside. I don't believe they can do it. I don't. Dennis Prager has talked about this for decades. Conservatives vote their principles, Leftists vote their principles, but liberals do not. They do not, and they will keep voting for the leftists rather than fight the leftists because they'd rather go down the leftist path than acknowledge that they are actually pretty similar in a lot of their beliefs to conservatives. And so that's what informs my opinion and that's why this guy, Zorn mom Dani, the self described Democratic socialist, he's a communist. Okay, he's a comedy. He's the presumptive Democrat. He actually they just called the race for him. I know, it's been like what two weeks or something, but they do that stupid rank choice voting system in New York's mayoral primary, and so it took them this long to finally count all of the votes after they get moved around based on, you know, the ranking order that voters decide. So he's been so he says that he's not a communist. I'm just a Democratic socialist and that's not a communist, and the so called fact checkers are all saying, yeah, totally not a commy. However, as Jerry Dunleavy at justthnews dot com outlines in great detail, a very lengthy piece. It'll take you like twenty twenty five minutes to read the whole thing, but I have pulled the highlights for you so you don't have to, but you can check it out just thenews dot com. But as the record shows, yeah, yeah, he's communists. Mendani sorry men. Danny is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and denies that he's a communist. However, I would point out rule number one about communists, they are liars, commis lie. Okay. An investigation by Just the News shows that in tweets, speeches, affiliations as well, Mamdani at his corps holds a strong affinity for straight up communism, praising and campaigning with a Marxist state senator in New York, declaring that New York City needed a mayor just like a famously young Indian mayor from the country of India who was a member of an explicitly Marxist communist party. He praised the bloody nineteen seventeen Russian Revolution, which led to the established establishment of the Soviet Union cost millions of lives. He argued about the need to quote seize the means of production in a reference to a core Marxist principle, and he praised famous radical commy figures and more. Here is an audio clip. This is from hang on a second, I have at some place. Yeah, he declared. This was him at a Young Democratic Socialist of America Winter conference in February twenty twenty one. Here's what he said, What. The purpose is about this entire project. It's not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism, and obviously raising class consciousness is a critical part of that, but making sure that we have candidates that both understand that and are willing to put that forward at every which moment that they have, at every which opportunity that they're given. We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism. There are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS right or whether it's the end goal of season, the means of production, where we do not have the same level of support at this very moment. And what I want to say is that it is critical the way that we organize, the way that we set up our you know, set up our work and our priorities, that we do not leave any one issue for the other, that we do not meet a moment and only look at what people are ready for, but that we are doing both of these things in tandem, because it is critical for us to both meet people where they're at and to also organize for what is correct and for what is right, and to ensure that over time we can bring people to that issue the ramifications of victory. Here is the difference between life and death for so many of our brothers, sisters and family beyond the binary and across this borough of Queens. It's the difference between having cash bail anymore about, it's a difference between having sex where it be decriminalized. And with every battle that we fight as socialists, we need to remember what the stakes are and ground ourselves and and why those stakes are important and critical to us as individuals. By the way, he was doing this virtually. He gave this address virtually. I mean, I guess maybe pandemic rules were still in play. And his backdrop was space, like he was beaming in from outer space. It's very weird, but he says it right there. The purpose of the project is to raise class consciousness and win socialism. He said, we got to elect more socialists who are unapologetic in their socialism, whether it's support for BDS, which is boycott, divest sanctions against Israel, whether it's support for BDS or the end goal of seizing the means of production. And when you say that you are going to seize the means of production, that is communism straight up, that's Marxism. And he says, we don't want to leave any one issue for another. What I think Ben Shapiro calls this the Omnik cause. In other words, all. These different causes that are part of the intersectionality that creates the coalition to do the work that the leftists are doing. And James Lindsay. Has called this, and I repeat it darn near every day. The issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution. That's why you've got Islamists marching in the New York City Gay Pride Parade hand in hand with the Marxists, right, because the whole point of the project is to tear down the Western civilization infrastructure. That's the point. It's always the revolution. The target is always Western civilization and its free markets. That's always the target. That's why people like, don't you if you went to Gaza as a gay person, they would throw you off a roof and stuff. First off, I don't know if they do know that, but if they do know, it doesn't matter, because the point is this place stinks. We hate everything about this place that some of us have actually opted to come to, but we hate everything about this place, and so we have to dismantle it because it's oppression and we're the oppressed because I'm non binary or something that is straight up Marxism. On NBC's Meet the Press, he gave an explicit denial that he was a communist when he was asked by Kristen Welker. He says, no, I am not. He says, I call myself a democrat socialist in many ways, inspired by the words of doctor King from decades ago, who said, call it democracy or call it democratic socialism. There has to be a better distribution of wealth for all God's children in this country. And then PolitiFact weighs in saying these claims that he's a COMMI are false. The outlet PolitiFact said some politicians and social media posts falsely label him as a COMI, and that expert say he hasn't espoused key tenets of communism, such as government takeover of industry and private property. Um, yeah, actually I did. I just he did do that. I just played you the SoundBite. All right, if you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events, and I know you do too, and you've probably heard me say, get your news from multiple sources.

The New York City mayor's race matters for two reasons. Number one, if this man, Danny Guy. Is successful. Elected, successfully elected, not successful with his policies, because that's not going to happen, but you will see other candidates adopt those policies, spreading communism across the country. That is correct. In fact, I think it was Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut who's already saying that we really need to look at this man, Danny guy and. See what he's tapped into. Maybe we could learn some lessons from this whip or snapper, you know, Like that's problematic, guys. Number two, when the New York City economy is shattered, the rest of the country is going to be expected to bail them out again like they did in the early eighties to keep them from bankruptcy. Yeah. Meanwhile, as part of the big beautiful bill, they got the freaking salt deductions in there, Like, why are we rewarding these states that are so poorly run with high taxes? Why are we supporting this anyway? Them Danny is a Marxist. Okay, he's a communist and he's trying to distance himself from this this tag now, which tells you, by the way, everything you need to know about why communism sucks is because people don't ever want to be identified as one. Why, well, one hundred million plus body bags is a good place to start. Mem Danny has repeatedly praised his fellow quote comrades in the DSA, the Democratic Socialist of America, especially he is close with New York State Senator Julia Salazar. Salazar is a. Self described Democratic Socialist, but has also repeatedly declared that she is an avowed Marxist. She played a role in helping men Danny win his twenty twenty race for New York State Assembly. Mem Danny repeatedly touted that he was endorsed by Salazar, and the two collaborated on issues and virtually campaigned together in the lead up to the election, virtually being I think like on the web. There's a tweet from him December twenty twenty where he says, you know, people ask him, so, what kind of mayor does New York City need right now? And then he shares a Twitter thread from the Indian the Nation of India, the Indian Puducury State Committee of the Communist Party of India. I think they're communist guys. So he shares this tweet from comrade Aria Rajendron, the new mayor of some town in India hashtag left alternative, hashtag communist? What else? He wants to tear down the statues of Christopher Columbus in New York City, And then he offered up three options on his Twitter poll. Who are the options to replace Christopher Columbus? He wants to recognize Italian Americans, right, so the Italian American community has a rich history in Astoria queens. Who should we honor instead? And then he offers these these options. Number one Tony Bennett noted communist. No, I'm kidding, that's the singer. Number two Walter Audissio not a singer, although he may, I don't know, like in the shower or something. Maybe he does carry a tune, don't know. And number three haha, A bit of a trick question here, or a trick answer. It's not one person, it's two. Sacho and Vanzetti executed, yeah, by the government. Tony Bennett, the famed singer Nicola Saco and Bartolomeo or Bartolomeo Venzetti. They were executed for murder in nineteen twenty seven in a case that stirred up protests proclaiming their innocence. Now Walter Odissio is an interesting pick for this list. The obituary by The New York Times described Odissio as the quote communist partisan who claimed credit for the execution of Italy's World War II fascist dictator Benito Mussolini. He has also repeatedly praised the radical far left Black Panther leader and noted Marxist Fred Hampton, quoting him in August of twenty twenty saying you can jail revolutionaries, but you can't jail the revolution. Hampton was a member of the Black Panther Party and was a Marxist Leninist, but again, mem Danny totally not a Comi. He has repeatedly posted approvingly about the Russian Revolution of nineteen seventeen in the fall of Zar Nicholas the Second, which really was the last thing that the Commis were able to pull off, which ushered in the communist rule in Russia and the establishment of the brutal Comi led Soviet Union. He mentioned, as I played in that SoundBite, the end goal of seizing the means of production that is right out of Karl Marx's Dos Capital. He repeatedly uses the term means of production. It's become a central pillar of Marxist theory. Capital is dead labor. That vampire like only lives by sucking living labor, and lives the more the more labor it sucks. That's marx property, family, religion, and country and nation would fall before the righteous onslaught of the working class as it seized control of society and government. That's according to the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation. Ma'm danny declared his affinity for seizing the means of production, But he's not a kami. Remember rule number one. Comi's life. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain and Cabins of Asheville is your connection.

Big write up at Justthnews dot com by Jerry Dunlevy, Ma'm danny and fact deny he's a communist, but his own words say otherwise, And that is the headline, and that is true. In December twenty twenty, Me'm Danny tweeted out that the Democrat Party, well yeah, he was responding to a Democrat Party tweet that said the Biden Harris administration is committed to rebuilding an economy that welcomes everyone as full participants, and mem Danny responds by saying, if we want everyone to be full participants in the economy, we need worker ownership of the means of production. That's not the. Soft socialism. When you own when the quote workers own the means of production, that is communism. Okay, socialism is simply the way states on the way to full bore communism. I don't even really like, I don't even consider these things to be different. I really don't. I view the socialist tag as as a marketing gimmick. I really do, because there's no As I've said many times, there's the left can never go too far. That's how you end up with one hundred million dead people based on a communist ideology, because they can't stop themselves. There's no limiting principles. Ma'm Danni loves to call his fellow left wing and socialist candidates his comrades, which admittedly is a term that other people use as well, but it is really prolific in communism. One example, he tweeted his congratulations to Lee J. Carter back in November twenty nineteen when the Virginia Socialist won reelection in the Virginia House of Delegates, saying quote, congratulations to my comrade Carter four VA on his reelection. He won his seat in twenty seventeen without the Democratic establishment and kept it after two years of red baiting attacks, not once wavering in his commitment to socialist politics from New York to Virginia. We are building a better world now. If you look at Carter's Twitter profile, he describes himself as a queer communist. See, I would not. Be confused at any differences between socialists and communists if ukamis and socialists were in seemingly confused about the differences as well. You know. He also described himself as a former politician, current union thug. Probably not a man, but definitely not a woman. A secret third thing, that's what he describes himself as. Mam Danny is also trying to flee from his pro commy sentiments as he runs for mayor now, and one of his ideas is to you may want to sit down for this completely brand new idea. Soak the rich, right, which is what you do before you eat them. So he wants to hit all of the millionaires and billionaires. He wants to hit them all with higher taxes, wants to tax all the billionaires, although he told I think it was Kristen Welker on NBC that he doesn't think there should be any billionaires, which again, like the only way that you can preclude that from happening, or prevent that from happening, is by seizing all of their money, which is also a key component of communism. So again he is lying. He is lying about his Marxism. But that's what Marxists do. But there's this other thing going on, this red green alliance. So we've gone over the red part. What's the green part? Well, the green part is the marriage of the the Marxists with the Islamists or Islamists whatever. Okay, the people who are out there chanting for Palestine and then they started chanting for Iran and whatever like, these are the people that have now hooked themselves together with the Marxists. And as part of that, you know, intersectional coalition. You also have the LGBTQ plus minus sign equals hashtags or whatever, like, You've got this old this coalition. Why because they share one common goal, which is the destruction of free market capitalism in the West. That's why Israel is targeted as. Well, not just the because of the anti Semitism and the Jews, but also because they are sort of this outpost of Western civilization in an area of the world that really doesn't have a whole lot of that kind of a model going on. So when this man, Danny guy refuses to condemn the slogan globalize the Intifada and he tries to, you know, sidestep this and no, it's really it's a it's a higher call for resisting the oppression and the occupation and all that. No, no, no, the Intifada when you're talking about really any kind of geoglobal events, The Antifada was where Palestinians went around murdering Jews, blowing themselves up, blowing up pizza parlors and public transport. That's what the Second Intifada was. That's what the Antifada is, Okay, it is targeted attacks against Jews. Several Senate Democrats told The Jewish Insider yesterday that calls to globalize the Intifada are unacceptable and must be condemned. Amid concerns from Jewish leaders and organizations over this Memdanni guy in his defense of the slogan. Again, this is from Jewish Insider dot com. Sentimentarity leader Chuck Schum, who has thus far not endorsed mem Danny, told JI that he plans to meet with Memdanny in a few weeks. Richard Blumenthal, Democrat from Connecticut, says, I don't know what Memdanni's position is on it, but I certainly think that the call to spread the Intifada is the kind of incitement that can lead to extremist violence. You think calls for violence might lead to calls or yeah, calls for violence might lead to violence. That would be huge if true. Can we get any data to confirm that? You know? Stories are powerful.

She's also the founder of the Pearl Project, which is named after Daniel Pearl, who was murdered by al Qaeda, who's a Wall Street Journal reporter, and she writes at Fox News two days ago, many people are wondering how Zoran Mamdani, a thirty three year old socialist Muslim who wants to defund the police, globalize the Intifada, and destroy capitalism, has emerged as the Democratic Party's nominee for the New York City mayorship with leaders like former President Bill Clinton fawning over him. To understand his political assent, you have to trace the red, green, blue spider's web that brought him here. A critical moment goes back to a Friday night in two thousand and eight, nine twenty eight PM. December twelfth, two thousand and eight, ACL youth civil rights lawyer and Beson sent an email to former Clinton administration senior advisor John Podesta. Right, this was again two thousand and eight. Okay, so December twelfth, So what happened after eight? That would have been Obama? Right? Obama's election. Beeson was executive director of US Programs at George Soros's Open Society Foundation, where she said she all oversaw one hundred and fifty million dollars in annual grants to quote promote human rights, social justice, and accountability nationwide and what the incoming administray is asking them what the incoming administration could do to address domestic national security policies and practices that unfairly target Muslim, South Asian and Arab communities in America. So remember we got the War on terrorism, the invasion of the Afghanistan. Then Iraq and then Obama comes in. She attaches a memo in this email to Badesta from Farhana Caira, then executive director of Muslim Advocates, a group based in San Francisco, along with Aziz Huk, then the director of the Liberty and National Security Project at the William J. Brennan Center for Justice. Both of these organizations received grant money and funding from Soros's Open Society. The email represented the culmination of a decades long ideological drive that began with Muslim international students arriving in the US in the nineteen sixties, not just to study, she says, as my father did at Rutgers, but to lay the institutional groundwork for political Islam or Islamism in the US. By the nineteen eighties, they had established a strategic base at five hundred Grove Street in Herndon, Virginia, which was later, by the way, investigated by the FBI for alleged ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Palestinian Islamic Jihad group seeking to destroy Israel and America in order to build a global caliphate. There, they launched a campaign to weaponize the term Islamophobia to silence critics of extremist Islam. I remember this period very well. The point was to racialize Islam and frame Muslims as the oppressed and embed illiberal ideologies within America's liberal institutions, including the Democrat Party. Soros's philanthropy staff has pumped tens of millions of dollars into various organizations such as Atlantic Philanthropies, the Proteus Fund, the Muslim Advocates, the Brennan Center, the ACLU, the National Security and Human Rights Campaign, and the strategy was narrative warfare. Starting in late eight Soros pumped some twenty million more into a field wide communications hub to arm Muslim groups and leftist media allies with messaging tools. The recipient was called Rethink Media. It's a nonprofit out of Berkeley, California, because of course, co founded by progressive political operatives Peter Fahrenbach and Lynn Fasselt, then a consultant to Democratic donors including the Open Society, Proteus Fund, Plowshares Fund, Carnegie Corporation, Piper Fund, Atlantic Philanthropies, and other progressive donors that have since pumped money into Rethink Media. One narrative that they pumped out there was that Muslims were under attack in the West, and the Democrat Party would defend Muslims. That's one of the narratives. In late twenty ten, the Open Society was giving Podesta's Center for American Progress two hundred k for a new Examining Anti Muslim Bigotry project that would document structures underlying the Islamophobia movement. The memo detailed plans to do opposition research on groups like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and the Middle East Forum, which track Islamic extremism. The project description noted that progressives were caught off guard earlier that year when New York City residents opposed the building of a ground zero mosque near the World Trade Center. Remember that scandal. Progressives were like. Wait, what huh? And they didn't know how to react because they didn't want to be accused of Islamophobia. Right, So they crank out strategies reports that smear national security experts as islamophobes and portray any criticism of Islamism extreme Islamist extremism as bigotry. Right, they bring on people like the radical activist Linda Sarsour, who launched Empower Changed under the umbrella of another big money Democrat group called Eneophilanthropy to advance quote Muslim power. These ideas, shaped through critical race theory, merged with the narrative building efforts of sorrospacked groups to portray Muslims as perpetual victims. By twenty seventeen, with Trump in office, past and present grantees escalated the anti Trump protests. Remember the Muslim ban. That was them too. They were at the No Kings protest. Right. That's why this is important. I advise you read the entire piece Foxnatis dot com piece by Azra Nomani how socialist Muslims pulled off a twenty year takeover of the Democratic Party.
