Last night, New York voted to install a number of Democrat socialist candidates in primaries that are largely uncontested in the November general elections, which means a number of new radicals are going to be elevated to positions of power. It is a shocking storyline to follow. We're going to give just a couple of highlights. First, yesterday we talked a little bit about Dariela Avila Chevalier, the really outlandishly radical candidate who is challenging the head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, Adriano Espiat. Now, one point that I have made is Adriano Espiat has a higher progressive score than aoc. He touts the fact that he is the first former illegal immigrant elected to Congress. You would think he would be the poster boy for today's progressive Democrats and. And yet he is now being run out of town by a 32 year old PhD student who made her mark leading pro Hamas campus protests and saying some of the craziest things in the world. We're going to show you just a couple of her really crazy tweets. Pay for therapy, lead healthier lifestyles, become bad B words. Seize the means of production. She's fairly open about being a communist. When someone said what would be a better slogan than defund the police? She said, f you, we're going to defund and abolish you don't get to water down our movements. I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me. During that month, Avila Chevalier also reposted images that said yes, literally abolish the border and all deportation is wrong. In the early months, the COVID 19 pandemic, Avila Chevalier reposted a message calling for the nationalization of utilities, hospitals and pharmaceutical companies, suspending rent and mortgage payments, dissolving private health insurance. She has, I call her basically the Pokemon of far left cliches because with her you've got to catch them all. It is anti Semitism, anti police, anti borders, anti rule of law and pro seize the means of production and pro anarchy. And she is coming to Congress. And the biggest difference I can find between her and the person that she threw out in terms of ideology is the person that she's throwing out Adriano Espiet is not sufficiently anti Semitic enough for the Democratic socialists and so she won that primary by 2000 votes and she is heading to Washington. Another storyline that I wanted to talk about is Dan Goldman.

All right, this is a Fox News alert. Incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman, who was just banned from a New York City coffee shop because of his support for Israel. He has now lost his primary to a radical socialist backed by Mamdani.

Dan Goldman made his mark leading the Trump impeachment. He has been a folk hero of progressives. He has a 96% progressive progressive voting score. He is now being thrown out by Democrat socialist aligned Brad Lander, the comptroller. And this comes just days after this happened. Developing Rep. Dan Goldman is a far left Democrat. However, he's Jewish and supports the state of Israel. He stopped into a Poetica Coffee in Brooklyn with his 7 year old daughter to use the bathroom and bought a drink after the store found out they wrote on Instagram, we don't serve racists, fascists who, homophobes, genocide enablers or anyone in between. They added, too bad we didn't recognize you right away or we would have turned you away. The caption says, dan Goldman is Jewish and supports the state of Israel and he's being run out of town by Brad Lander. Brad Lander's also Jewish, but he spent his time campaigning at mosques trying to make the argument that he was a Jewish person that these anti Jewish people, anti Semitic people might find palatable because he, like them, will spend all of his time in oxygen attacking Israel. Just like the DSA's sort of DNA is focused on one other Zoran Mamdani endorsed person that I wanted to highlight. Now Zoran had a clean sweep of his endorsements which is terrifying for New York and terrifying for the Democrat Party. We're going to get to that in just a second. One other person that he endorsed is a new incoming state Senator, Aber Kwas. Here is Aber kwas talking about 9 11.

The system of capitalism and racism and white supremacy, etc. Have all. And Islamophobia have all been used, you know, to colonize lands, right? To take resources from other people. And so this is like a long trajectory and we're just seeing the manifestations of that continuation right with 9 11.

Now she's saying that 911 was America's fault because of our system of capitalism, racism, white supremacy and Islamophobia. This is a Zoran acolyte who's headed to the New York State Senate again, these are simply terrifying people. Now this is a fascinating conversation in terms of Democrat leadership. Hakeem Jeffries had endorsed against a number of these Democrat Socialists. The party establishment for Democrats had been trying to keep these radicals from winning these seats. They took a giant punch in the jaw last night with these election results. Hakeem Jeffries has never looked weaker. Chuck Schumer didn't have Senate candidates involved here, but this is also a major rejection of him. It's also important to remember that the status quo and incumbents that these Democrat Socialists are rejecting from within their party are represented by people like Joe Biden who they see as overstaying their welcome and not being radical enough and not being anti Israel enough. Jamie Harrison, former DNC Chair, tweeted this. I say this with no ill will or animosity. If you hate the Democratic Party, then please don't run for our nomination. Don't use our resources. Don't rely on our volunteers. Don't use our infrastructure. Don't ask Democrats to invest their time, money and energy in your campaign. Interesting theme I've heard from a number of Democrats who have tried to distance themselves from the dsa. The problem is these DSA Democrat Socialists don't really need the party's infrastructure or resources because they have their own massive infrastructure and massive funding from people like CCP aligned Neville Singham and others. And so they don't necessarily need their money, but they are running for their nominations and running elected Democrats even with very high progressive scores out of town to replace them with these insane radicals. Interestingly, Chris Murphy responded to Jamie Harrison. He said this I don't know man. Who is the Democratic Party if it's not the voters? Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us right now. They're demanding our party be bolder. They're not demanding the party be bolder, they're demanding the party be more anti Semitic. That is the big difference maker for so many of these primaries where very far left Democrats were replaced by other very far left Democrats who agree on almost every policy except these. More, more radical DSA Democrats are willing to simply focus all their time and energy on Israel being bad, talking about AIPAC nonstop and making that their entire personality. That is the new energy and surging force within the Democratic Party. You need to understand Democratic Socialist is a misnomer. Socialist is a toned down version of what they are. Everyone from, you know, Darieliza to Zoran are. They are seize the means of production communists. They have come out for taking away private property. But along with that, communism is also a strong, strong sense of anarchy with things like defunding the police, abolishing the police, abolishing borders, abolishing any kind of immigration enforcement, deportation, things like that. I don't know what their end goal is, but it in large part seems to be destruction of America. And so Democrats have a massive issue on their hands. After what we saw last night in New York, no Democrat in America can be feeling safe right now. And we're hearing reports from media. The Democrats are very nervous about what this means for their own primaries and for their party. Meanwhile, Republicans are going to continue to try and focus on affordability and kitchen table issues while these Democrats are tearing each other apart on who can be the most anti Semitic candidate possible. We will dive into a lot of this more in our Thursday episode, but I wanted to at least give a quick readout on these insane election results from Tuesday night. We will see you tomorrow.
