The Ben Shapiro Show They hate America. And they’re winning. The Democratic Socialists of America aren’t hiding the ball. They despise America. Despise it. And now they and their allies are forming a winning coalition - not just in New York, but across the country.

Ben Shapiro critiques the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), characterizing them as a \"hate America\" coalition. He argues that the movement is driven by college-educated youth and \"useless\" intellectuals rather than the working class. Shapiro warns that the DSA seeks to dismantle U.S. institutions and infiltrate the Democratic Party to implement a radical socialist agenda.
They hate America, and they are winning.
The Democratic Socialists of America are not hiding the ball.
They despise America, like truly despise America.
And now they and their allies are forming a winning coalition,
not just in New York, but they hope across America.
I'll explain who they are, what they want,
and why you should actually be terrified in just a moment.
This is the Ben Shapiro Show.
So Zoran Mamdani is the captain now.
Three New York City congressional seats are now filled by DSA members
or former DSA members.
The DSA is the Democratic Socialists of America.
We'll get to their actual platform in just a moment.
In LA, another Democratic Socialists of America member may end up as mayor.
In New Jersey, a former Al Qaeda mouthpiece allegedly
will likely win a congressional seat.
In Michigan, a terrorist supporter will likely be elected to the Senate.
In Maine, a dude with a literal Nazi tattoo
will likely end up in the Senate as well.
The rise of the hate America crowd is the story here.
It's their pitch.
It's not a bug.
It's a feature.
A lot of people are saying, no, no, no.
They're winning in spite of all that.
Wrong.
This is how you win with young people.
It's how you signal that you're not part of the machine.
Now, again, the seeds of all of this were planted long ago.
In 2008, the Democratic Party coalition turned into the Barack Obama coalition.
By 2012, the Obama coalition had turned into the coalition of the oppressed.
By 2016, that coalition of the oppressed was turned into the anti-Trump coalition.
And now the anti-Trump coalition is turning into the hate America coalition.
Full scale, all masks off.
Now, the seeds were always there.
I cite this quote a lot from Barack Obama from his book, his first memoir,
because he has, I think, three memoirs at this point.
Dreams for My Father in 2007.
I have a bad habit of actually reading political memoirs
because it actually tells you a lot about the politician.
He wrote this, quote,
I have seen that aspiration and disorder of the powerless,
how it twists the lives of children on the streets of Jakarta or Nairobi
in much the same way as it does the lives of children on Chicago's South Side.
How narrow the path is for them between humiliation and untrammeled fury,
how easily they slip into violence and despair.
I know the response of the powerful to this disorder,
alternating as it does between a dull complacency
and when the disorder spills out of its proscribed confines,
a steady, unthinking application of force of longer prison sentences
and more sophisticated military hardware is inadequate to the task.
Again, that sentence could have been written by Zoran Mamdani or by Chevalier
or by any of the variety of Democratic Socialist of America candidates.
And that is the entire matrix of thinking there
is that all suffering all over the world
is the fault of evil capitalist free market systems.
And then what you really need is an America that apologizes
for its presence in the world
and that there is some sort of ideological solidarity
between gang members on the South Side of Chicago,
who after all are victims of the system,
and teens in Jakarta.
Hey, there was a reason that Barack Obama
sat in Jeremiah Wright's church for decades,
and that's because he agreed with Jeremiah Wright pretty obviously.
There's also a reason that Barack Obama loves Mamdani,
because Mamdani is Jeremiah Wright,
except he's much more smarmy and younger and has a better beard.
Bernie Sanders almost won the Democratic nomination in 2016,
running against the Democratic Party
as an open advocate of anti-American socialism.
He won the youth vote outright.
Well, now that Obama Sanders coalition
has turned into the Mamdani coalition
and it's going to keep getting worse.
Here, by the way,
is what the Democratic Socialists of America actually believe.
Okay, this is their new platform.
Abolish the Senate.
Replace the President and the Supreme Court
with an executive and judiciary chosen by
and subordinate to the Congress.
Defund completely the Department of War.
Abolish all prisons.
Free Palestine, of course, naturally,
because, and this is the omni cause,
and all complaints about Western civilization
must be projected into love for a pseudo state
that loves terrorism, loves it.
End sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran, naturally.
Abolish ICE.
Grant amnesty for literally everyone, so open borders.
Public ownership of all major corporations.
And remake the elections nationwide.
The ultimate goal, a Democrat Socialist Republic.
And this is what their official platform.
Now, in 2012, the DSA had 6,500 members.
By February of this year, that was over 100,000.
By the end of this year,
it would be shocking if they don't have
at least half a million registered members.
Now, the thing that you're hearing
from all of your sort of left-wing friends
and from your legacy media interlocutors
is that the DSA,
all these Democrat Socialists of America candidates
are winning based on affordability.
See, they're saying the thing.
They just keep saying affordability.
Here is the problem.
That's not true.
It's not true.
They're winning primaries, not based on affordability.
When they get to a general,
they might lie that they're running on affordability,
but what's winning them primaries
is a bunch of white college-educated voters.
So for example, Daryliza Chevalier,
who is a complete psychotic anti-American nutjob.
She won her primary the other night with 32,790 votes.
She won 50 to 60% of the votes among younger residents,
majority college-educated areas and higher-income areas.
So it was richer, younger, college-educated people.
Her opponent, Azreno Asfayat,
who's a sitting congressperson,
won about 30,000 votes.
And this congressperson won 50 to 55% of the votes
among lower-income areas and majority Hispanic areas.
So again, Chevalier is not winning the low-income areas.
She is not winning the minority areas.
She's winning college-educated white people.
Chevalier also did not win the public housing precinct.
Asfayat won St. Nick,
which is apparently a public housing project in Central Harlem,
40, even as Chevalier won the greater neighborhood by 30 points.
Overall, Asfayat won New York City housing authority precincts
by 24 points across the district.
How about Brad Lander?
So Brad Lander is the pseudo-Jew who was a member of the DSA
and then dropped his membership in the DSA,
but actually is still a member of the DSA, basically.
Well, it turns out that even Dan Goldman
won the public housing precincts by about 20%.
Okay, so what do you notice?
What you're noticing is that the Democratic Socialist of America
is led by over-educated white people.
That is what is happening here.
And you can see it.
There's a Pew poll that came out just a week ago
showing what the Democratic Party looks like.
And what it shows, unsurprisingly,
is that membership in the so-called leftward progressives,
the people who are the most left-wing,
the Democratic Socialist crowd,
is highest among whites.
It is lowest among blacks, unsurprisingly.
Actually, among black voters who vote for Democrats,
far and away, the biggest group
is what you would call order and opportunity leftists,
meaning people who are still fairly pro-free market,
people who want some immigration restrictions
but don't want total deportation,
people who are relatively non-socially leftist.
And that is the biggest group among all Democrats.
But among white people,
among white people, disproportionately,
they are far to the left.
But this isn't really a racial thing.
Okay, this is not about race.
It's really much more about age.
All right, coming up,
Zoran Mamdani and his Hate America crew
are getting ready to take over,
not just New York, but like the whole country.
They have a plan.
We'll get into it.
First, here's a thought experiment.
Imagine printing out your entire browsing history
from the last 30 days.
Every website, every search, every article, every purchase.
Now imagine signing your name at the bottom of it
and pinning it to your front door
for the whole neighborhood to read.
Most people wouldn't do that
because that would be incredibly stupid.
In fact, most people would probably consider it invasive,
unsettling, but online, that happens all the time.
Internet providers can see the website you visit.
Yes, even when you use incognito mode.
In many countries, they're required to store records
of online activity for years.
In the United States,
providers can legally sell your browsing data
to third parties.
This is one of the reasons I use ExpressVPN.
ExpressVPN encrypts online activity
before it even reaches your internet provider,
meaning providers can't meaningfully see, record, share,
or sell your browsing history
because they never actually receive it
in readable form to begin with.
One of the reasons ExpressVPN works so well
is that it's simple.
One tap on your phone, laptop, tablet, desktop,
your connection is secured
because privacy should not be treated
like suspicious behavior.
Privacy is normal.
Privacy is healthy.
Privacy is part of living in a free society.
So if you'd like to join me
in fighting for the right to privacy,
now would be the best time to do it
because ExpressVPN is now available
at just $3.49 a month.
If you use my special link,
you can get four extra months of service
at expressvpn.com.men.
That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com.men
for four extra months of service.
So Zoran Mamdani,
he says that they are ready,
the DSA is now ready to be the face
of the Democratic Party.
They're building a coalition, right?
And the coalition is gonna be national in nature.
So here is Zoran Mamdani,
a career useless person,
an absolute ingrate,
a person who hates America
as mayor of New York City,
talking about how he's ready
to be the face of the Democratic Party.
Yeah, I think we can see
from each of these candidates
that they have exactly what it takes to succeed.
And we've heard from Republicans time and again
that they're going to try and make
these candidates the face
of the Democratic Party.
To them, I say that we are ready for that
because for far too long,
we have been told
that it is not possible
to fight for working people and win.
These candidates have shown that they can.
Let the Republicans talk about that more.
Okay, so again,
he is going to make the claim
that this is the face of the Democrat.
Okay, so he pretends about affordability.
As I just showed you,
it's not about affordability.
They're not winning primaries
because they say affordability.
They're winning primaries
because they hate the country.
Claire Valdez,
who just won a congressional primary,
this is the kind of stuff that she preaches
in order to win a congressional primary,
that the nation was founded on genocide.
Being a dual national,
how does it inform your politics?
Yeah, I think it makes me,
it does a couple of things, I think.
Like it ties me very personally
to the fights for self-determination
and sovereignty,
you know, from Puerto Rico to Palestine.
I think it's so essential
that we're standing in solidarity
in those struggles.
And I think it makes me think
about immigration in a different way.
You know, we hear all these,
you know, white conservative men
talk about who does
and does not belong here.
And look, this nation was founded on genocide
and the mass displacement of people.
It's just the history.
And to say that some people cannot belong here,
it's like, come on.
Again, they despise the country.
To say some people don't belong,
I mean, if you don't come here legally
and if you hate our country,
you probably shouldn't be here.
Claire Valdez also, by the way,
is April 30th.
She said that she wants to abolish pre-check
and nationalize the airline industry.
And they are just communists
who hate the country.
This is not some sort of giant secret.
They just say the thing out loud.
My hot take is we need to abolish pre-check.
I've got like a million beefs
with the airline industry
and the process of having to fly.
We need to like nationalize
the airline industry.
Let's start by abolishing pre-check.
So it's not just Claire Valdez,
Daryliza Chevalier,
who is probably the nuttiest
of these people,
which is saying a lot.
She was asked if she was a communist
on MSNL.
And she said, well, if by communism,
you just mean basic kindness.
Also, to Republicans ads to say
this is what you're going to get
if you vote for the Democrats,
a communist.
You know, I think that is
that framing is one that I've
been very proud to be able to say
I don't respond to,
one in which I have been
very intentional to say
I won't be reactive.
We are presenting a vision
of what we're fighting for.
And I think for far too long,
we have had politics
that is reactive
to what Republicans are doing.
What we need is Democrats
who are actually going to present
a positive vision,
one that sets the tone
for what we should be talking about,
which is the issue of affordability,
which is the issue of how
our budgets are moral documents.
For far too long,
this reactive conversation
of what we should be afraid of
has prevented us
from being able to have
a politics of hope
and a politics of life
that Democrats
can actually identify with.
OK, so hope, light and communism.
That's what she's talking about.
And of course, she's hiding it
beneath all this
pseudo academic nonsense jargon
that she was taught
over at Columbia.
We'll get to that in a second.
Now, again, this is what they believe.
So the question is,
how do they form
a coalition for victory?
OK, so again,
I hear a lot of Americans
sighing as they listen.
OK, fine.
That's New York.
New Yorkers are crazy.
We know this.
They already elected Zoran Mamdani.
So they elect a few more
crazy Congress people.
So they elect a crazy senator
over in Michigan,
a person who hates America.
So what if they elect
a person who's an actual mouthpiece
for terrorism, allegedly,
over in New Jersey?
It's just a few.
There are 435 members of Congress.
There's 100 senators.
There are mayors all over the country.
What's the big deal?
So how exactly do they take over?
OK, so I'm going to show you
how they take over,
what the actual plan is.
So look at this poll data.
Again, this is poll data from Pew.
Political typology by age.
And it breaks down
a bunch of different subgroups
within each party.
So notice the age bracket 18 to 29,
which is, again,
where the Democratic Socialists
of America and the radicals
are putting all their focus.
Notice that age bracket.
14% of people aged 18 to 29
are what they call leftward progressive.
That would be the DSA.
14% compared to 2% of people
above the age of 65,
demonstrating once and for all
that the young always and forever
will remain the dumbest generation
until they get older.
That's how it works.
So 14% are basically openly DSA.
That represents, by the way,
26% of Democrats and
Democratic-leaning independents.
26%, so over a quarter,
are basically DSA.
If you're young and a Democrat.
OK, then how about the people
who are the left out left,
what Pew calls the left out left,
people who are disaffected
with the Democratic Party
and and feel angry
at the Democratic Party
and who are perfectly willing
to join the outsiders?
25% of all Democrats under 30
are part of the left out left.
OK, so that represents,
by the way, a sheer majority
of Democrats 18 to 29
are either Democratic socialists,
meaning like actual communists,
or people who hate
the Democratic Party
and are happy to watch
outsiders smack it around.
That's a sheer majority
of Democrats aged 18 to 29.
Then you have a couple
of other groups among people
aged 18 to 29 overall.
Now, again, overall,
14% of people,
not just Democrats,
14% of people aged 18 to 29
are Democratic socialists.
19% are people who are
disaffected Democrats,
essentially the so-called
left out left.
14% of all people
aged 18 to 29
are what Pew calls
the tuned out middle.
These are people who are
basically low information voters.
They don't tend to pay
attention to politics.
They sort of culturally
see it on their TikTok.
They listen to Joe Rogan
or Theo Vaughn,
that kind of that kind of folks.
And then 9% who are
the loyal liberals,
Democratic Party voters.
So the goal here is,
and the proposed coalition
for Mamdani is,
the DSA, that 14%,
plus the disaffected Democrats,
19%, plus the people
who don't pay attention
and who voted probably
for Bernie in 2016
and then maybe for Trump in 2024,
the tuned out middle,
the Joe Rogan types,
it's like 14%,
and then the loyal liberals,
right, the people who are
sort of the binary thinkers,
Democrats who say,
listen, I don't like
all of this, but when it
comes right down to it,
if I'm forced to choose
between Donald Trump
and Zoran Mamdani,
I'll choose Zoran Mamdani.
That's 56% of everybody
aged 18 to 29.
That is the coalition
they're looking at.
And again, it's a youth-based
coalition because the hope
always and forever is that
the youth will bleed up
into the rest of the population.
So let's break down
this coalition a little further
because it's pretty fascinating.
So start with the DSA.
Who's leading all of this?
Who is the DSA?
As we pointed out,
it is over-educated,
useless white people.
Some of them are white,
some of them are not,
but bottom line is,
this professional,
disproportionately white,
the professional useless class,
they've been manufactured
over the last 20, 30, 40 years
in university classrooms.
They've been majoring
in absolute junk.
They are unemployable losers
who have never held a real job,
but they did go to the best colleges
for years and then more years,
and then they can't get real jobs.
So they end up as community organizers
or agitators or political aides
for crappy candidates
who hate the country.
The Democratic Socialists of America
is a make-work machine
for college-educated losers.
That's what it is.
And this is who these folks are.
Claire Valdez explains
to Zoran Mamdani,
again, another useless person,
Zoran Mamdani went to a solid college,
and then he turned into a failed rapper,
and that was his entire career path
until he was elected to office in New York.
He has never held a real job, never.
He's an over-educated loser
whose father taught at Columbia University
and whose mom is a documentarian.
He's a member of the elect
in the United States,
treating himself as though
he's a member of the proletariat,
which, by the way, is a common theme.
If you're looking for the people
who lead revolutions,
never look at the actual proles.
Don't look to the proletariat.
Don't look to the people
who are working in factories.
They're busy.
They got a job.
The people who always lead revolutions
are disaffected pseudo-intellectuals
who feel disrespected
and want to remake systems
because they're bored and unemployable.
It was true for everyone
from Hitler to Lenin,
and it's true for Zoran Mamdani as well,
and it's true for Claire Valdez.
So here is Claire Valdez
explaining how she got into politics
at Columbia.
That shift happened when I started
working at Columbia University.
It was a union job,
and all of a sudden,
I had all this time.
It was my first proper nine-to-five job,
and that's revolutionary,
I think, to so many workers
who are used to working two, three jobs
and nights and weekends.
That's so much power.
That power was something
that I wanted to help win
for other people.
It felt like the most incredible gift
in my life.
Okay, so she was working
for Columbia University
as a useless assistant,
and she had extra time
and she started thinking about politics.
She studied painting and art history
at the School of Art Institute
in Chicago.
That's who this person is.
Never held a real job,
worked at a university,
again, another make-work program
for over-educated idiots,
and now is leading the revolution.
Or take Daria Luza Chevalier.
She started college in 2008.
I want to give you her college history
because that way,
when you hear about her affordability problems,
you understand where she's coming from.
She started college in 2008.
She went to Columbia.
She graduated in 2016
with a degree in Middle Eastern Studies.
Now she is in her seventh year
of her PhD at CUNY in Sociology.
When I talk about career useless people
who have never produced a thing of value,
her name just comes right up.
Here she was explaining, though,
that this created affordability problems
with her.
Again, the idea that you have
an affordability problem
because the system has failed you
when you've been in college
or grad school for half of your life
is insane.
And as someone who has had to live
with the question of whether
I can even afford to stay
in the city I love,
as someone who has struggled
with this issue of affordability,
but yet seen time and time again
my tax dollars,
New Yorker's tax dollars,
be used to bomb children
and families abroad
instead of being invested
in our communities here.
I am tired of that type of politics
and I'm running
because I believe my community
deserves the dignity
of a representative
who is going to fight tooth and nail
for the things that they deserve.
I have to say, Zoran Mamdani
is absolutely unwatchable.
Just the pasted on fake grin everywhere.
He's got this creepy joker-esque grin
every time he appears on your screen.
It's really very, very strange.
But again, those are the leaders
of the revolution.
Career useless people,
pseudo intellectuals,
not particularly smart,
but granted high degrees
in useless crap,
who now have extra time
on their hands
and they're going to lead the revolution.
So that is the core group,
14% of the people aged 18 to 29
and about a quarter of all Democrats
in the people aged 18 to 29.
Already coming up,
we'll get to disaffected Democrats
and how they fold
into the Mamdani coalition,
plus we'll be having on
recipients of the Medal of Honor
to talk about what makes America
actually awesome.
First, people spend a lot of time
these days talking about
bringing manufacturing back to America,
which don't get me wrong,
it's awesome.
It's also worth noting
the industries that never actually left
in the first place.
One example, America's beverage companies.
The drinks people have grown up with
for generations,
sodas, sparkling waters,
teas, sports drinks.
The companies behind them
have continued making those products
here in the United States
the entire time.
Behind all of that
are 275,000 men and women
across all 50 states
showing up every day
and doing the real work.
These are good paying jobs,
distribution, manufacturing,
trucking, production,
the kinds of jobs that support families
and local communities.
For more than a century,
America's beverage companies
have continued investing here,
building here,
employing American workers
in America's hometowns.
In an economy where so many industries
moved operations overseas,
that actually does matter quite a lot.
Learn more about how
they're keeping America strong
at wedeliverforamerica.org.
Again, that's wedeliverforamerica.org.
A lot of industries that left,
that never happened
with the American beverage industries.
They've been helping out Americans
and obviously giving us
the stuff that we like as well.
Go check them out right now.
wedeliverforamerica.org.
Okay, then you have part two,
the disaffected Democrats.
Okay, this is where
you have a bunch of people
in the Democratic Party
who are just annoyed with the Democrats.
Why?
Well, because the Democrats
are constantly promising the world
and then failing to deliver.
They yell about Trump,
but they don't give you enough.
It is very easy, by the way,
to campaign from outside a party
saying the party doesn't do enough.
It works on the right.
President Trump did this.
It works on the left.
The DSA is doing this.
So here is the DSA head,
co-chair Gustavo Gordillo saying,
we disagree with the Democrats.
Like we're using them basically.
And a lot of people
are warm toward this
because again,
they don't like the Democratic Party.
They're Democrats,
but they don't like it.
And so what they're doing
is they're weaponizing the disaffected.
And again, that disaffected group
for people 18 to 29,
that is the actual largest group.
It's like 19% of people aged 18 to 29.
Our candidates run as Democrats.
We're on the Democratic Party ballot line.
We contest the primaries.
And when they're in the legislature,
they're part of the Democratic Party caucus.
But we don't agree with the way
the Democratic Party establishment
organizes or runs its party apparatus.
And so we try to build independence
by focusing on volunteer-led movement.
We think that everyone
should be able to be trained
and to become someone
who can participate
in the political process.
And we don't really think
that Democratic Party campaigns
in the establishment are run that way.
And I think you really see that difference
in the races like we're having tonight.
Again, they hate the Democrats
and they are running from inside the party
to destroy the Democrats.
And a lot of Democrats
are very much on board with this.
Here is another DSA co-chair
named Megan Romer
saying she's not a Democrat.
She's a socialist.
We are explicitly socialist.
We're not shy about it.
We're not the Democrats
who are like, no, no, no.
No, we're not.
Stop calling us that.
Yeah, no, you can call us that.
It's fine.
We're socialists.
It's cool.
We're not fighting for a kinder,
gentler capitalism.
We're not fighting to soften the edges.
We're fighting to have worker control
of every aspect of our lives,
of our housing,
of our workplace, of our communities.
Again, they're quite open about this.
But the idea is they're going to recruit
all the people who are unhappy
with the Democrats.
Harry Enten points out
that this is working.
Here he is looking at the polling data.
Democrats versus, say, the DSA.
The Democratic Socialists of America
have a higher net favor rating
than the Democratic Party does,
at least those who are members of Congress.
I mean, just take a look here.
Dems, Dem Socialists of America,
plus 17 points.
Democrats in Congress, plus four points.
No wonder that Dem Socialists
are getting nominated
across the political map
in different primaries
because, simply put,
they are more popular
than the Democrats currently in charge.
Again, attacking the party
is a very, very good way
of winning power.
And you can see how
kind of more traditionalist Democrats,
even very, very left-wing,
anti-Trump Democrats,
New York Attorney General Letitia James.
I told you earlier,
the anti-Trump coalition
has turned into the Hate America coalition.
Letitia James literally tried
to sue Trump out of existence.
That was her entire raison d'etre.
And now she's being outflanked by Mamdani.
And she said, quote,
all of us are a little frustrated
with the Democratic Party,
but you don't blow it up.
That's what MAGA has done.
But no, no, no.
That's the whole idea.
You do blow it up.
That is the entire promise.
That is the pitch.
This is why Zahra Mamdani
says he's not worried
about ticking off Letitia James.
Here he was with Crusades.
She said she and other political leaders
she's spoken to are disappointed
in Zahra Mamdani.
All of us are a little frustrated
with the Democratic Party,
but you don't blow it up.
That's what MAGA has done.
What do you say to that?
I think what is the Democratic Party,
if not its voters?
And what we saw yesterday evening
were Democrats across the city
turning out and voting
for a new kind of politics.
And I've been clear time and time again
that I believe the only majority
in our country is that
of the working class.
And what we saw is that a focus
on the working class,
whether it's from Claire,
whether it's from Daria Elisa,
whether it's from Brad,
is the kind of focus that
New Yorkers want to see.
And I have a deep amount of respect
for my friend, Attorney General James.
And I also believe that
these are the kinds of candidates
that we need to see in Congress.
Okay, so again,
running against the Democratic Party
is a lucrative political strategy.
Okay, fine.
Now you have the third group,
the people who aren't
watching very closely, right?
The Joe Rogans or the Theo Vons
who are perfectly happy,
I am sure, to host members of the DSA
and hit them with no difficult questions,
but talk about how revolutionary they are
and how they are really
changing it up politically.
No deep questions,
no serious policy ramifications,
but they do make cool TikToks.
And as long as they're making
the cool TikToks,
the inspiring TikToks
and talking about the problems,
which of course is the thing
that the podcast sphere
likes to talk about.
They never like to talk
about solutions,
but they do love people
who will just complain
about the problems with the system
because now you're in the know
and all the rest of this nonsense.
So that is a fairly large group.
Again, for people 18 to 29,
the tuned out middle, that's 14%.
And then finally,
you have the loyal liberals,
right, the partisans.
And these are people
who, if forced to choose
between the psychotic left
and the Trump right,
will choose the psychotic left
every single time.
This is why the Democratic Party
has no systemic immunity
to any of this.
They haven't had systemic
immunity to any of this
for 25 years.
Again, the seeds of all this
were planted in the Obama era.
It's just all coming to fruition now.
Here's Hakeem Jeffries
basically giving up the ghost.
You said Mamdani
was not the future of the party.
Do you regret those statements?
I think the future of the party
is diverse
and is anchored in the fact
that we've got candidates
all across the country
who are running
to take back control
of the House of Representatives
so we can end the national nightmare
that's taken place.
Mayor Mamdani
has been off to a great start
as mayor.
We have a good working relationship
and that will continue
moving forward.
Again, the kind of
traditionalist left,
which represents,
for young people,
about 9%,
the loyal liberals,
the Democratic Party voters,
who will choose,
if forced to choose,
between Nazi tattoo guy
and Susan Collins,
they will choose Nazi tattoo guy
because absolutely
Susan Collins
might sometimes vote with Trump.
Now, Joe Scarborough,
who used to be a Republican
a long, long time ago,
he, for example,
is trying to shy away from the fact
that every single one
of these New York candidates
is preaching
pretty much open anti-Semitism.
He says, no, no, no,
it's really not about them.
It's about Netanyahu in Israel.
Right, it's sure.
If it were Naftali Bennett
or Yair Lapid,
who was prime minister of Israel,
I'm sure that Zarn Mamdani
would then be
moderately pro-Israel, probably.
This is just a terrible take from Joe.
Hearing a lot of people say,
talking about
the anti-Semitism in New York City
and last night proved
the anti-Semitism in New York City.
And this is Mamdani's fault.
This is so-and-so's fault.
It's this is this left.
No, no, no, it's not.
It's true.
It's really not.
If you want to blame anybody
for what happened last night,
my opinion,
if you want to blame anybody, Jonathan,
I think you have to blame
Benjamin Netanyahu.
Four years of maximalist aims,
four years of ahistoric goals
in the Middle East.
OK, I'll just point out
at this point,
that's totally wrong on the facts.
I mean, the fact is,
what is this four years nonsense?
Is he talking about, like,
post-October 7th?
Is that what he's talking about?
Just a brief refresher.
Israel's attacked on October 7th.
Since then, they've destroyed
Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Hezbollah also fired thousands
of rockets into the north.
Israel responded to that.
Iran got involved by firing missiles
at Israel.
So Israel responded to that.
And the Houthis in Yemen
were firing missiles on Israel.
So they responded to that.
But it wouldn't matter.
I mean, let's be real about this.
It's such a silly argument.
If you know anything
about Israeli politics,
you understand that actually
Netanyahu right now
is being perceived as too moderate.
He's being run against
from the right by people
who are the erstwhile left.
People like Naftali Bennett,
who's not a leftist,
he's sort of a centrist,
as well as Gadi Eizenkot.
But again, none of that matters.
It's just nonsense.
The reality is, obviously,
Zoram Dani will remain
as anti-Semitic
and anti-Israel as possible.
Same thing with Chevalier.
Same thing with the rest
of these clowns.
OK, but the point here
is that all of the Normie Democrats
will fellow travel with the DSA
if they have to.
Now, there is a problem
for the Democrats
and this new coalition.
It's still not enough.
When you move outside
that 18 to 29 age bracket,
right, I told you 56%
of all people aged 18 to 29
would be in that coalition
I just described.
But when you move outside
of that age bracket
to like the total
of all available voters,
that coalition starts
to shrink pretty radically.
Only 7% of all voters
in this Pew research poll
would be leftward progressive
Democratic Socialists of America.
12% would be disaffected Democrats.
9% would be the tuned out middle
of the Rogan-Theo von types.
11% would be the
loyal Democratic voters.
Well, you don't have to be
great at math to do the math here.
When you total all that up,
that is only 39%
of the total electorate,
which is a far cry from 50%.
Why? What does that leave out?
Well, it turns out
that what it leaves out,
if you go back to the chart,
is one gigantic group of Democrats.
In fact, the biggest group
of Democrats.
That biggest group of Democrats
would be the order
and opportunity left.
The order and opportunity left,
again, the hope for
the Democratic Socialists
is that the order
and opportunity left
basically continues to vote
alongside the Democrats.
If they do,
if they were to do that,
that would be a huge problem
for the Republicans, obviously.
Because, again, the order
and opportunity left is,
by the numbers,
the single biggest group
among voters.
It is 18% of the entire voting base.
So if you're able to stack
11 of that 18% on top,
they end up with a majority,
this coalition.
But if Republicans are able
to reach out to that order
and opportunity left,
which is the place
they need to be reaching out to,
then Republicans could win.
Because, again,
people who don't hate capitalism
but do hate crime,
who want the border closed
but are not huge
on sort of the immigration rates,
who don't love trans politics,
for example,
that remains the single
biggest swath
of Democrat-leaning people.
Now, the right has fallen
into this idea
that this is like
the working-class coalition.
It's about the working-class coalition.
But notice something.
The socialist nonsense
that's being promoted by Mamdani
is not being supported
by the quote-unquote
working-class coalition.
What these people actually want
is just moderation.
That's all they want,
meaning they want law and order,
they want cops.
They want immigration law enforced,
but they don't want
raids in their workplace.
They want capitalism,
but with rough edges,
shaved off, right?
That's the stuff
that they actually want, probably.
Okay, so it's an opportunity
for Republicans.
The more the Democrats push to the left,
the more opportunity
there is for Republicans.
With that said,
Mamdani and company
pretending away the threat
is silly.
They have reached a tipping point.
They have enough
of the Democratic Party
to pose a serious threat
to the future of the United States,
and they hate the country.
And that is their campaign,
is to hate the country.
