Title: Try Not To CRINGE While Watching These Democratic Socialists HUMILIATE Themselves
Date: July 20, 2026
Host: Matt Walsh

Episode Overview

In this episode, Matt Walsh returns from a two-week hiatus to deliver his signature, scathing analysis of recent political and cultural events, with a particular focus on the spectacle of Democratic Socialist candidates and policies. He dissects moments from a recent Democratic Senate debate in Maine, explores the broader implications of left-wing ideology, and highlights the increasingly radical landscape of American progressive politics, using both ridicule and grim historical references. Walsh critiques the mainstream left's embrace of identity politics, criminal justice reform, and socialism—peppering the episode with biting humor and provocative analogies aimed at both political opponents and what he sees as a credulous voting public.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Catch-Up on Missed News (01:00–03:10)

• Walsh jokes about the break's timing, noting that the show missed "100 news cycles," poking fun at topics like ceasefires with Iran, Taylor Swift's (fictional) wedding, and the length of the World Cup.
• Satirizes how the demographics of European soccer teams serve as “proof” of demographic change, suggesting a YouTube prank that would inevitably be called racist.
• [Notable Humor] “Come to think of it, take someone who doesn’t know anything about soccer...have them watch the match between France and England…and have them guess which teams are playing…Nobody will get it right, not even close. Hilarity will ensue, and then YouTube will take the video down and The New York Times will call you racist and your life will be destroyed.” (01:48–02:38)

2. Maine Senate Debate & Democratic Socialism (03:23–15:02)

The Ashley J. Webb Incident

• Focus on a Maine Senate debate to highlight "the larger point" about left-wing American politics.
• Introduces Ashley J. Webb, a self-described transgender Senate candidate, originally known as Graham Platner, who withdrew due to numerous allegations but reemerged in a new identity.
• Walsh plays a clip of Webb’s debate answer:

  “I’m just an angry citizen now and if I got elected I’d be an angry senator. And I think that would probably be their worst nightmare.” (05:35–06:19)

• [Host reaction] “Truly a beautiful woman...by beautiful, I mean he looks a little like a resurrected zombified John Candy or something.” (06:19–06:21)
• Digs into Webb’s deleted Reddit history, accusing him of fabricating symptoms of womanhood and CT scans, calling this “a particularly disturbing expression of autogynephilia.”
• [Summary Judgment] “So there’s no ambiguity here. He belongs in an asylum and his hard drive needs to be searched.” (10:00–10:04)
• Uses Webb as an emblem of the party’s embrace of what Walsh calls “legitimately unwell” candidates.

Radical Policy Positions

• Criticizes other Democratic candidates for supporting policies such as taxpayer-funded healthcare for non-citizens, abolishing ICE, and open borders, branding them as delusional or fundamentally dishonest.
• Connects the theme to the demise of comedy, arguing that modern leftist politics’ absurdity demands that society no longer allows people to laugh at them.

  “Comedy fundamentally involves laughing at things that are incongruous and absurd. Democrats had to try to murder comedy in order to prevent people from laughing at their party.” (10:44–11:04)

Transgenderism and Absurdity in Public Life

• Plays bodycam footage of a trans-identifying individual’s meltdown after being misgendered by police.

  “Just say the right pronoun.” (13:27–14:00)

• [Host’s argument] Leftists can’t refute such identity claims because “in their view, everyone who claims to be [a woman] is one...it’s a circular definition, therefore a meaningless one.” (14:10–14:32)
• Concludes that the left’s embrace of radical subjectivism makes reversal impossible: “They can’t swear off transgenderism and exile these activists off to the hinterlands as much as they might want to. They really can’t.” (14:54–15:02)

3. Media & Socialism’s Spread – New York as Case Study (18:33–34:45)

Zoran Mamdani and Institutionalized Socialism

• Highlights a recent New York Times Q&A with Mayor Zoran Mamdani, characterizing him as the avatar of surging socialism.
• Walsh says socialists don’t pursue popular support but seize state power by suppressing dissent, likening today’s progressives to the Bolsheviks:

  “The Bolsheviks were not popular. They never were. But they ruled for decades…because they were ruthless.” (20:47–21:12)

• Asserts educated left-wing women form a key voting bloc susceptible to this ideology due to “emotion and idealism.”
• Mamdani's visit to Rikers Island for a World Cup watch party is framed as coddling criminals, equated with the communist practice of freeing convicts for political gain.

Social Media Reactions and Moral Reversal

• Plays TikTok clips of women celebrating Mamdani’s visit, likening him to Jesus:

  “Mayor Mamdani looks more like Jesus than any human I have ever seen with my eyes. He is following through with all the things Jesus said… Mayor Mamdani, I have undying respect for you and your faith.” (28:41–29:58)

• [Host comment] “Every woman with a TikTok account can do it—just generate real tears and cry. It tells you something.” (30:16–30:19)
• Asserts society cannot function if such “emotional” voters have power and criticizes lack of sympathy for victims of violent crimes by illegal immigrants.

Critique of Socialist Policies

• Points to programs like paying drug users for used syringes and free government babysitting as quintessential examples of redistribution taken to farcical extremes:

  “There’s no logic behind it…It will accelerate the destruction of New York City.” (34:08–34:10)

• Argues the real goal is to make children wards of the state.

4. Current Political Landscape & Historical Parallels (38:27–41:29)

• Claims the Trump administration is softening on immigration enforcement, referencing specific legal cases.
• Argues that leniency toward radical leftists will allow them to “consume every single one of our freedoms like a cancer” (41:02–41:09).
• Reiterates the lesson of the Russian Revolution: “dumb, ignorant, and deranged beats lazy and complacent every single time.” (41:14–41:29)

---

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On the Webb candidacy:
  “He’s a very angry person, as are most of these guys who wear women’s clothing…Lovecraft himself could not have conceived a cosmic horror quite like Ashley J. Webb.” (06:21–06:48)

• On leftist definition of womanhood:
  “In their view, everyone who claims to be one is one. It’s a circular definition, therefore a meaningless one…” (14:10–14:32)

• On Mamdani and socialism:
  “Mamdani is the single most dangerous man in the entire country right now. And it’s not even close.” (20:10–20:11)

• On TikTok emotionalism:
  “The ability of every woman on TikTok to just cry on command with real tears is kind of disturbing.” (30:08–30:12)

• On New York drug programs:
  “Who would have thought when you give junkies money for their heroin needles…they go buy more heroin, which also translates to more needles.” (34:22–34:45)

• On historical warnings:
  “Left to their own devices, these people will consume every single one of our freedoms like a cancer until there’s nothing left.” (41:02–41:09)

• Closing warning:
  “The bad news is that dumb, ignorant, and deranged beats lazy and complacent every single time. Are we lazy and complacent enough to let these people succeed?” (41:14–41:33)

Tone & Language

Transcript

[A]

Nobody wakes up excited to deal with Medicare and yet it is one of

[B]

the most consequential financial decisions you'll make.

[A]

So maybe give it more than five minutes. Here's the part that should make you angry. Insurance companies are out there paying agents to steer you into specific plans, whether those plans fit you or not. Nobody's telling you that. Most people assume they've seen all their options. They haven't. Not even close. CHAPTER is different. They don't work for big insurance, they work for you. They're the only Medicare advisors that compare every plan nationwide, every single one. They look at your doctors, your prescriptions, your actual situation, and they give you a straight answer. No angle, no agenda. If you're on the right plan, they will tell you.

[B]

If not, they'll help you switch.

[A]

People who've found new plans through CHAPTER have saved over eleven hundred dollars a year. On average, it's free. Under twenty minutes, you'll get a straight answer, which is more than Medicare has ever given you. Visit dailywire.com chapter today. Well, we are back after a two week break, which of course in the

[B]

podcasting business means we've missed approximately 100 and news cycles or so.

[A]

We weren't able to cover the 15

[B]

different ceasefire agreements that we signed with Iran, each of which lasted on average

[A]

about five minutes, so were very effective. We couldn't even cover Taylor Swift's wedding

[B]

to the 13th best tight end in the NFL. Very private, reverent affair held in Madison Square Garden with Adam Sandler officiating.

[A]

As a big fan of Taylor Swift

[B]

and an even bigger fan of celebrity

[A]

weddings, as you know, I would have liked to do my show live from

[B]

outside the venue, you know, cover it live, but unfortunately I was on vacation. Also, from what I understand, anyone who came within a five block radius of the ceremony with a net worth under

[A]

$100 million was immediately shot on site. And most tragically of all, we weren't able to discuss the day to day developments in the World Cup.

[B]

A tournament which lasted for approximately 8,000

[A]

years or so, and which in the end felt less like a soccer tournament and more like definitive proof beamed out to tens of millions of people. That demographic replacement is indeed very real. The match between France and England might as well have been between, you know, Nigeria and Cameroon. You had to squint to find a white guy on the pitch at all. And come to think of it, here's some free advice to anybody who wants to make a viral YouTube video. Take someone who doesn't know anything about soccer, cover up the scoreboard, mute the audio and have them watch the match

[B]

between France and England.

[A]

And after a few minutes, have them guess what teams are playing. Nobody will get it right, not even close.

[B]

Hilarity will ensue, and then YouTube will take the video down and New York Times will call you racist and your

[A]

life will be destroyed. But on the bright side, you'll have made a very important point and you'll

[B]

have created a video that's infinitely more entertaining than soccer could ever dream of being.

[A]

We also missed the release of the Odyssey. I haven't seen it yet, so I.

[B]

I can't deliver my verdict on it.

[A]

The clip of Ellen Page that's, you

[B]

know, made the rounds. Running awkwardly in body armor with the gate of a small child who just

[A]

soiled her diaper doesn't fill me with much hope for the film, but I'll

[B]

have to see the movie before I can give it a final grade.

[A]

The problem is that apparently you have

[B]

to, like, hack through the jungle and traverse mountains and deserts to find one of the three and a half theaters on the globe that actually show the film in the format the director intended, which makes a lot of sense for a big blockbuster movie.

[A]

But there was one event from the

[B]

break that warrants, I think, a deeper

[A]

discussion because of the larger point it leads us to.

[B]

Though it's not an event that would seem to be particularly significant on its surface.

[A]

And I'm talking about the recent Democrat

[B]

Senate debate in the state of Maine.

[A]

Now, as you may remember, Graham Platner,

[B]

the socialist with the Nazi tattoo who won in the Democrats primary, recently withdrew from the race. And that's another story that I think we missed. I think that happened during the break.

[A]

He didn't withdraw because he was unpopular.

[B]

Every poll showed that Democrat voters loved his whole vibe. You know, the Nazi tattoo, the multiple accusations of sexual assault and so on.

[A]

But he withdrew because of a rape

[B]

allegation that proved to be the final straw.

[A]

One allegation too many, I guess, and the party establishment decided that enough was enough.

[B]

He was becoming too much of a distraction and he needed to step aside.

[A]

And Platner's abrupt withdrawal from the race naturally created something of a power vacuum in party politics. Because the primary was already held, Democrat

[B]

delegates throughout Maine have to vote on the replacement candidate. Normal everyday voters are irrelevant at this point, as they usually are in Democrat Party politics.

[A]

You may be sensing a pattern. So in order to help these delegates make up their mind, Maine Democrats held a debate featuring a handful of their most promising candidates. And one of those candidates is an

[B]

obese man wearing a dress and using the name Ashley J. Webb.

[A]

Webb was asked why he's qualified to

[B]

serve in the Senate, and this was his response. If you haven't seen it.

[A]

And, and as you listen to this, keep in mind that the other Democrats on the stage and the moderators had to keep a perfectly straight face throughout the whole thing. Every loyal Democrat party voter at home, the people who buy into the party's

[B]

platform and left wing ideology, had to do the same thing.

[A]

They all had to pretend that what they were witnessing was completely normal.

[B]

In fact, they had to pretend that

[A]

it was brave and beautiful, the platonic

[B]

ideal of female expression.

[A]

So here is Ashley J. Webb, who

[B]

is definitely not Graham Platner in drag. Here it is. Watch.

[A]

Webb.

[C]

What qualifications do you have to serve

[B]

in the US Senate?

[C]

Oh, I ran for office several times. Didn't win, but did run. And then I'm a songwriter and then I write my own books and then I suppose my transparency. I wouldn't lie to the people and I wouldn't deceive the people like we're being deceived right now. Like we get lied. Smoke and mirrors. Like, what's going on with ice? Pretending like these victims did something wrong, like that's unacceptable. And I suppose the biggest thing is like, I'm just an angry citizen now and if I got elected, I'd be an angry senator. And I think that would probably be their worst nightmare.

[A]

So truly a beautiful woman.

[B]

And by beautiful, I mean he looks a little like a resurrected zombified John Candy or something. But he got the last part of his statement right. He's a very angry person, as are most of these guys who wear women's clothing. And he would indeed be the worst nightmare of every man, woman and child in Washington D.C. if he were elected to serve in the United States Senate. Lovecraft himself could not have conceived a cosmic horror quite like Ashley J. Webb.

[A]

Given how old most senators are, it's fair to think of this guy as

[B]

kind of a walking bioweapon. There would be multiple heart attacks on the Senate floor the moment he walked in the door. Maybe that's the plan, I don't know.

[A]

But Webb did say something interesting in

[B]

his response, which is that he doesn't want to deceive anyone, which mission accomplished or almost accomplished.

[A]

Because even if he's not fooling any of us, even those of us who

[B]

are blind or in a coma, he

[A]

is clearly deceiving himself to some extent. So already we're not off to a very Good start here.

[B]

When it comes to honesty and integrity, it doesn't look like Ashley Webb is serious about his commitment to transparency, to put it mildly.

[A]

But things somehow get worse when you

[B]

look at Webb's social media history, and this was reported by the researcher Colin Wright, who says that he found Webb's

[A]

posts on Reddit which have now been deleted. So we'll put a few of them

[B]

up on the screen.

[A]

You take a look at this guy and you. You automatically know his posts on Reddit

[B]

are going to be pretty bad, but

[A]

they're even worse than you would expect, even though he is just sort of

[B]

the average Redditor at the same time.

[A]

So here's what Red Web wrote, according to rights reporting, quote, I have a cycle in which I get monthly cramping, like pain accompanied with bleeding. I ovulate as well. When you don't have the proper hole, it finds one of two exits. My exit connection was made with my colon because when I get this monthly pain, that is where the blood comes out of. Now, that was probably more information about

[B]

Ashley Webb than you ever wanted.

[A]

The fact that he exists at all

[B]

is more information than you wanted. So the gastrointestinal details of his life

[A]

are certainly well beyond that threshold of things you want to know. But it's important to understand that this

[B]

Democrat Senate candidate is, like so many Democrat Senate candidates, including, and especially the candidates who've actually been elected, legitimately, unwell.

[A]

And Webb is fully committed to this bit in ways that are truly disturbing

[B]

and obviously should be disqualifying the account. Reddit Lies, for example, found this post

[A]

in which Webb pretends to be a 5 foot 6 woman who's 26 years old and only 200 pounds. Because even in this guy's wildest fantasies, he's still 70 pounds overweight, which is interesting. And in this fantasy, he also suffers from chronic lower abdominal pain tied to my cycle.

[B]

And then Webb attached imagery from an actual woman's CT scan. Who knows where he got that, which he passes off as his own.

[A]

So, not to beat the dead horse here, but I mean, this guy's fantasy scenario in his wildest dreams is that he's a short, overweight, 26 year old woman with a chronic health condition. That's what he wants to be when he grows up. This, of course, is a particularly disturbing

[B]

expression of autogynephilia, which trans activists have done everything in their power to erase from the media and from scientific literature. He's sexually excited by the image of himself as a female, to the point that he's fabricating CT results in order to communicate to random people on the Internet as if he's an actual woman.

[A]

So there's no ambiguity here.

[B]

He belongs in an asylum and his hard drive needs to be searched.

[A]

This is a very sick individual who

[B]

needs to be treated for this exceedingly obvious disorder. But that's not going to happen.

[A]

But to the Democrat Party, you know, there's nothing wrong with this picture at all.

[B]

They're happy this guy's receiving tax payer funded health care through Medicare. They're thrilled he's running for the Senate.

[A]

It's not as if the other candidates

[B]

on the stage were much better. They all want to tax Americans in order to pay health care benefits for foreigners. They all want to abolish ICE and open the borders.

[A]

These are all policies that are based

[B]

on delusions or at a minimum, gross misunderstandings of reality.

[A]

And if you vote for a Democrat in 2026, that's what you're supporting. Now if you want to know why,

[B]

you know, the left has tried to kill comedy. This explains it. Comedy fundamentally involves laughing at things that are incongruous and absurd. Democrats had to try to murder comedy in order to prevent people from laughing at their party. In a society with a sense of

[A]

humor, none of this works. It's just too hysterical to take seriously. And it kept going.

[B]

Watch.

[C]

And then with, with the trans community, like we're being dehumanized. The they say that we want to hurt people. I don't want to hurt anybody. I just want to use the bathroom. And it. And if they want me to use the men's room, I will, but I don't want to be assaulted.

[A]

So put that slogan on a bumper sticker.

[B]

I don't want to hurt anybody.

[A]

I just want to use the bathroom.

[B]

Ashley Webb, 26.

[A]

You know, by the way, it's always

[B]

an ominous sign when somebody walks into the bathroom and feels the need to announce that they don't want to hurt anyone.

[A]

If you're in the bathroom stall and

[B]

you hear someone walk in and say

[A]

that, I'd be very like, pull your

[B]

feet up so they don't know you're in there.

[A]

Actually, if somebody walks into any room and announces that they don't intend to hurt you, that's pretty much a universal signal that you need to flee the premises before you wind up hanging from

[B]

meat hooks in their basement.

[A]

And just the other day, a channel called Inside Blue TV uncovered you know,

[B]

this body camera footage from February of last year. And it has to be one of the most Dramatic trans freakouts of all time, which is obviously saying something. This is not Ashley Webb. But you know, since we're on the subject.

[A]

The footage depicts an unstable 27 year

[B]

old trans identifying man having a meltdown on a college campus, which is University of Central Florida in Orlando, berating and attacking officers. It takes two male officers and multiple taser deployments to subdue this guy.

[A]

And throughout the footage the cops keep calling him a male, which know naturally

[B]

infuriates him even further.

[A]

Watch.

[D]

What's the problem?

[E]

Why do you let those kids get away with this? They are not supposed to be here.

[D]

If you don't lower your voice, I am going to put handcuffs on you and I'm going to take you to a Baker act facility. You lower your voice.

[E]

Try it.

[D]

Are. Are you threatening me?

[E]

You're threatening me?

[D]

Are you threatening me? I'm nervous because I'm here right now to deal with a stolen vehicle. I ain't got time to hear you screaming and yelling.

[E]

I don't have time to constantly be abused.

[D]

We'll get, we'll get OPD down here then because I gotta. I gotta work this stolen vehicle.

[E]

What do you mean OPD?

[D]

Alpha 73.

[E]

University Alpha 73.

[D]

Can we get another unit to deal with Jay Lee? Here he is having a breakdown.

[E]

Just say the right pronoun.

[D]

What you say?

[A]

7351.

[D]

Get down on the ground right now.

[E]

No, no.

[D]

You're about to get sprayed.

[E]

No.

[D]

Get down on the ground right now.

[E]

Leave me alone.

[D]

I can come in there.

[E]

Leave me alone, please.

[D]

Okay, are you gonna calm down?

[E]

I'm. I just want to get away from him. Stop mask jiggling me. Just say she.

[B]

Alpha 73.

[E]

Josh, can you please just tell them to use the right pronouns, please.

[B]

Okay, I think we get the idea. All right. Yeah, so there's that again. Every loyal Democrat voter, every true believer has to affirm this guy's reality. They have no principled way to reject his claim that he's a woman. Because in their view, everyone who claims to be one is one. It's a circular definition, therefore a meaningless one, as I've of course established at great length over the years.

[A]

And it's why the trans agenda was

[B]

a non starter from the beginning.

[A]

It's why it's now dead in the water. But the Democrat party is still officially

[B]

committed to it and has to be,

[A]

after all, relativism, the idea that truth

[B]

is relative to a person's subjective experience,

[A]

is a core element, perhaps the core

[B]

element arguably of leftist ideology.

[A]

And that's why they can't swear off,

[B]

you know, this kind of thing. They can't swear off transgenderism and exile these activists off to the hinterlands as much as they might want to. They really can't.

[A]

Here's the guy in the booking photo

[B]

without the blue wig, by the way. At least he can see a lot better without the wig in his eyes.

[A]

Never mind the fact that he's clearly in mental distress.

[B]

Never mind the fact that he's clearly a danger to everybody around him.

[A]

Imagine, imagine being an actual woman and

[B]

having to share a dorm or a locker room or a bathroom with this lunatic. That's what Democrats stand for. That's why their party, you know, it's what their party has become. And they're.

[A]

They're too committed now.

[B]

They can't turn back.

[A]

In 10 years, they'll probably elect this guy to be the next senator for Maine. So what's a political party to do under these circumstances? You know, you've been fully captured by

[B]

the most deranged members of society. Your most politically active members spend all their time in echo chambers like Blue sky, where they become progressively more insane.

[A]

Most of your voters believe murder is

[B]

justified in order to defeat their political opponents, which is why they openly celebrated the murders of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson.

[A]

There's no off ramp here. So what do you do if you

[B]

find yourself feeling unprepared for massive life changes?

[A]

You're not alone. Most people feel wholly unprepared for all

[B]

the surprises that life throws at them.

[A]

Some surprises are welcome, like a wedding or a baby. But some changes are not, like an

[B]

accident or an untimely death. It's impossible to prepare for every surprise. But you can make a change right now to make sure that if something happens to you, your family is taken care of.

And they just published a puff piece

[B]

Q and A with Zoran Mamdani in

[A]

which they begged him to export socialism

[B]

all across the country.

[A]

And here's what they asked him, followed by his response. Quote Question I'm curious how you're planning to use your political capital.

[B]

Are you planning on getting involved in races outside of New York? Answer My focus right now is on New York City.

[A]

Question if you're wanting to send this

[B]

message beyond New York, the question obviously is how and when?

[A]

Answer I'm still seeing the world like

[B]

that cover of the New Yorker where it's New York, it's New Jersey, then

[A]

it's the rest of the world.

[B]

But I also think that New Yorkers

[A]

have sent a message and we've seen these kinds of victories in New Jersey

[B]

and Colorado, in California.

[A]

So they've decided that socialism is the answer.

[B]

And for obvious reasons, socialism does not rely on popular support. They don't need to win elections. They don't need to appeal to, you know, logic or common sense, certainly not morality.

[A]

Instead, socialists rely on the power of the state to suppress dissent.

[B]

And as history has shown, socialists can

[A]

seize power very quickly in a revolution that most people don't even support. You know, for a Democrat party that's deeply unpopular and increasingly insane, in a country that's becoming more third World by

[B]

the day, thanks to unchecked mass migration,

[A]

socialism becomes a tempting option. And nobody on the right should underestimate what they're planning. Mamdani is the single most dangerous man

[B]

in the entire country right now.

[A]

And it's not even close. For this reason, over our our break, we released the latest episode of my

[B]

real history series on the Russian Revolution, which I highly recommend that you watch. In many ways, it's the most important one we've done and the best.

[A]

We focus on the Bolsheviks rise to power.

[B]

In great detail, we covered the similarities to the rise in socialism in the United States today.

[A]

And it's a fascinating story, one that most people aren't familiar with because schools refuse to tell the truth about communists and their many atrocities. And in short, you have to go

[B]

watch the entire episode.

[A]

But the Bolsheviks were not popular.

[B]

They never were.

[A]

But they ruled for decades. And they destroyed an empire. They ended millions of lives. Because they were committed to obtaining power at all costs. They were ruthless. They were shameless and left unchecked long enough. People who are ruthless and shameless get what they want. That's especially true in the United States

[B]

today, given that educated left wing women

[A]

have become a powerful voting bloc. This is a demographic that's especially susceptible

[B]

to socialism for a few reasons.

[A]

For one thing, socialists don't care about

[B]

the fact that they'll eventually run out of other people's money. They don't understand how investments work or how everybody responds to incentives. They don't care that socialism has always

[A]

failed and will always fail wherever it's attempted.

[B]

That is, if we know, imagine that the goal is actually to see to the well being of individuals, then by that measure it fails. But that actually is not the goal.

[A]

And they certainly don't care that no country, no matter how wealthy, can support

[B]

a welfare state with open borders.

[A]

Economics is too dry and complicated for these people. Instead, socialists are motivated largely by emotion and idealism. Peace, land and bread is what drove the Bolshevik revolutionaries. They were fed up with World War

[B]

I and the food shortages, and they

[A]

reached for some solution, any solution.

[B]

You know, they weren't debating Marx or anything like that.

[A]

They weren't holding in depth discussions about

[B]

the merits of capitalism versus socialism.

[A]

They were responding in haste, in panic, to a crisis.

[B]

And Lenin exploited that.

[A]

In fact, as we discuss in real history, one of the socialist main tactics was co opting university protest movements.

[B]

University students were upset about the administration's,

[A]

you know, crackdown on partying. And so the socialists swept in, took advantage of that, and urged the students to rebel against the government at large.

[B]

And it worked.

[A]

Now Mamdani is executing a similar strategy in New York.

[B]

And women, more than any other demographic group, are falling for it.

[A]

For example, the other day, Mamdani went to Rikers to watch the World cup with the inmates.

[B]

And here's some footage of his visit to give you an idea. Watch.

[F]

I hope that this shares with people who are incarcerated here on Rikers that they too are a part of New York City. The World cup has been a magical moment for the entire city. These are New Yorkers, and they will be New Yorkers when they get out of Rikers. They're New Yorkers today. And I wanted to make sure that we could celebrate this moment together. I met one New Yorker for whom today is his final day on Rikers, and he's heading home tonight. He was saying he's gonna see his mother, he's gonna see his daughter, and he's gonna get right back to work. That's a lovely thing to. To be able. Able to share with someone.

[A]

So it's a room full of dangerous

[B]

criminal sociopaths laughing and having a great time, which you might argue makes it no different from Congress. Very little difference between watching that clip and watching C Span, which is true.

[A]

Yet still, it's one of the most

[B]

disgraceful displays by a politician in living memory.

[A]

I mean, imagine being the victim of

[B]

one of these criminals or one of their family members. These are people who are supposedly being

[A]

punished for their actions to the point

[B]

that they were incarcerated.

[A]

Which, if you know anything about New York, is quite a feat. I mean, you could commit arson at Fox's headquarters, literally. You can burn their Christmas tree down

[B]

in broad daylight, and you'll get out of jail in 24 hours.

[A]

You can repeatedly assault women on the subway.

[B]

You can even break a woman's nose, as Jordan Neely did. Spend no time in prison for it.

[A]

So with that in mind, if somebody

[B]

is spending a long time in Rikers island, it's a guarantee that they were extremely committed to being a vicious, dangerous, antisocial criminal. These are the kinds of people that are there. And that Zor Momdani was, you know, having a soccer party with.

[A]

But to Mamdani, these inmates don't deserve punishment.

[B]

Instead, they deserve a World cup watch party. Any rational person understand what's going on here? He. He. He wants to. Well, he really wants to spring every single criminal loose.

[A]

I mean, he fully believes in defunding the police and ending all incarceration, as all socialists do.

[B]

In fact, one of the main ways the Russian Revolution got off the ground is that at precisely the worst moment, many Bolsheviks were released from prison. Again, we cover this in the episode which you can watch now.

[A]

And this is not an exaggeration where it applies to Mamdani. During the campaign, Mamdani made it clear

[B]

that he wants to abolish all prisons. He's very explicit about that. Watch.

[D]

But.

[G]

But how does that. How does abolishing prisons or having open borders fit into that? I mean, do you see how that's. Those are ideas that a lot of your Democrats that are warning about what happened here say are toxic. Most of America won't go along with it. Are bad ideas. They're dangerous ideas.

[H]

I think what the focus of her race was, what the focus of her candidacy was, was about the struggle that working people are facing. And I think that we can have disagreements on policy positions. What we have to agree on is what are we fighting for and who are we fighting for. She showed that in her race. And I think that many people will come to appreciate that in her leadership to come.

[G]

So we can disagree on something as basic against whether or not there should be prisons.

[H]

They're not your position there. There are prisons. And what we're also showing in this city is that safety is not something that's up for debate.

[B]

So the ABC anchor says we can

[A]

disagree on something as basic as we should have prisons.

[B]

Mamdani says there are prisons. Well, yeah, that was not what he said. We're not.

[A]

We're not disagreeing on whether there are prisons. That's established. Should there be, though?

[B]

And Mamdani thinks that there shouldn't. That's what he actually thinks.

[A]

Now, if you want the United States

[B]

to continue to exist as a country, then all of this is unacceptable to you. You understand that obviously we need prisons in order to protect innocent people from barbarians. You also understand that the role of prison is to punish criminals, not to reward them. I mean, these are basic. These are the basic building blocks of civilization.

[A]

But Many female voters in particular in New York don't see it that way.

[B]

All over Tick Tock, you'll find videos in which women were weeping over Mamdani's visit to Rikers. They just couldn't contain themselves.

[A]

And they present Momdani as a Christ like figure, as a.

[B]

As a Muslim who's actually more Christian than any of his critics.

[A]

Now, fair warning, if you're a big

[B]

supporter of the 19th Amendment, then these clips might cause a certain amount of cognitive dissonance. But here they are.

[I]

Watch Mayor Mumdani. Mayor Mumdani just watched the World cup at Rikers island. And like, who would do that? No. Has any mayor ever done something like that? I love this man so much. I love this man. And he is the best mayor in New York City's ever seen. Will ever see. Well, hopefully not, but hopefully we always, you know, progress. But oh, my God, like, that just made me so emotional, like no one would think to do that. And him and his team did. Goodness gracious. Goodness gracious.

[J]

So I ran. Mom. Donnie. Watching the World cup with inmates at Rikers island and just showing the humanity. He's more Christian than most Christians I've ever seen. And they demonize him. They demonize him and he's just out here loving people and trying to do good by them. I will never understand it.

[K]

I've studied scripture and tried to follow Jesus my entire life. My faith wasn't just something that I did. It was the bedrock foundation of who I was. And it was that same longing to chase after Jesus that led me to deconstruction. I followed Jesus right out of the church. So I have a pretty good biblical idea of what Jesus is supposed to look like. And Mayor Mondani looks more like Jesus than any human I have ever seen with my eyes. He is following through with all the things that Jesus said. I was hungry and you gave me food. He is. He has helped forth low income people having food that's available and healthy. You know, he is looking after the widows and the orphans. And he watched part of the World cup at Rikers island with the prisoners and said, these are New Yorkers and they'll be New Yorkers when they get out. Jesus said, for I was in prison and you came and visited me. Mayor Mondani, I have undying respect for you and your faith. And I hope you know this is meant as the highest compliment I can give another human being.

[A]

Okay.

[K]

I see Jesus in you.

[B]

Yeah, yeah. So I get the idea.

[A]

You know, I will say the. The ability of every woman on TikTok

[B]

to just cry on command with real tears is kind of disturbing.

[A]

I mean, that's one of those things

[B]

that you think that's like a mark of a good actor.

[A]

You know, it's like, it shouldn't be that easy to do.

[B]

Just generate real tears and cry. Every woman with a TikTok account can do. It tells you something.

[A]

You just can't have a civilization in

[B]

which these people have a significant amount

[A]

of power to choose our leaders.

[B]

It's not possible. There's a lot of psychology here, including the success of the entire true crime genre. We can spend an hour talking about why so many women are sympathetic to criminals who would happily murder them in a dark alley. We could talk about all the insane rationalizations they'll use to justify their various fantasies.

[A]

But suffice it to say, none of

[B]

these women cried on camera over Lake and Riley, who was brutally murdered on the campus of the University of Georgia by a rabid Venezuelan. Or Aiden Clark, the kid who was killed by the Haitian driving on the wrong side of the road. Or Billy Schmidt, the Penn State student

[A]

who was shot to death by two black thugs who stole his cell phone. These women are only sympathetic towards the worst among us.

[B]

They, you know, they want them to

[A]

watch the World cup and have a party.

[B]

They want them back on the streets because they have no understanding of how

[A]

the world works, nor do they care. They're driven solely by emotion.

[B]

Democrats like Mamdani are taking full advantage of these people.

[A]

That's not even getting into the theology

[B]

or lack thereof on display in those clips.

[A]

Needless to say, there's nothing in the scripture that says that we should throw

[B]

parties for hardened criminals. And Rikers, as you saw in that footage, these people were not abandoned or forsaken in prison. They were living it up.

[A]

And there's certainly nothing in the scripture

[B]

that commands mayors to stage photo ops,

[A]

complete with camera crews and security details

[B]

inside a prison like Rikers Island. You know, there's a line in that parable when they ask, lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or in prison? And the whole point is that they

[A]

did a good thing without the pageantry,

[B]

without drawing attention to it for their own ends.

[A]

Mamdani, on the other hand, visited the prisoners in order to serve his own cynical political ambitions. And so then he's what Jesus would

[B]

call, and did call many times in

[A]

the Gospels, a hypocrite. And here's another example from the Post.

[B]

Millennial citing. Reporting from the New York Post, Mamdani

[A]

is now paying drug users for injecting themselves with heroin.

[B]

It's a supposedly compassionate policy that makes no sense if you think about it for five seconds.

[A]

Which is why New York's electorate, mostly

[B]

single left wing women and foreigners, love it.

[A]

Quote Socialist New York City Mayor Zoram Hamdani has quietly made a pilot program that pays drug users for their used needles. The Big Apple's budget for the fiscal

[B]

year includes $3 million to maintain the

[A]

health department's Community Syring Redemption program. The program pays junkies 20 cents per syringe turned in. Those using drugs can get paid for up to 50 used needles a day

[B]

for $10 and can turn them in at eight different drop off sites. The sites are located in the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn.

[A]

The program was piloted as something that

[B]

would get used needles off the streets

[A]

and off public property.

[B]

It was initially approved with legislation that was passed in 2022. The official program started in 2025.

[A]

Over 2.3 million needles have been collected with the program over its first 16 months, leading to payouts of nearly $300,000 in cash.

[B]

The program was supposed to help the sanitation department with his efforts in picking

[A]

up used needles around parks and other public places. The department says that they are still picking up the same number of needles as before the program was launched. Oh, you think so? As a practical matter, the program is

[B]

about as successful as all those homelessness prevention programs that take in billions of dollars of donations and tax revenue and grant money every single year. It's counterproductive in every imaginable way. There's no logic behind it.

[A]

Very clearly it will accelerate the destruction

[B]

of New York City. And now it's permanent. As a matter of policy, New Yorkers will now be forced to pay the junkies for overdosing on the sidewalk outside their homes. Because it turns out that, I mean,

[A]

who would have thought when you pay junk, when you give junkies money for their heroin needles, when you give them the $10 for the 50 that they

[B]

turned in or whatever it is, what

[A]

do they go do with that? With the $10? Oh, they go buy more heroin that they use that and was also. Which also translates to more needles.

[B]

Of course that's not all they're going to pay for. Many other similar programs are in the works. Again, this is from the post Millennial,

[A]

quote, socialist New York City Mayor Zoram Hamdani is offering even more free taxpayer

[B]

funded programs, including a new pilot program

[A]

that's meant to provide babysitting for parents

[B]

who are looking to have a night out.

[A]

Mamdani announced the Parents Night out program

[B]

that will give free babysitting to parents

[A]

on August 16th from 4 to 8pm for up to 500 children.

[B]

Registration for the program opened at 8am

[A]

on Monday, will run for 7 days

[B]

with spots available on a first come, first serve basis.

[A]

The programming for the children includes supervised games, sports and fitness activities, arts and crafts, media education programs and nature exploration

[B]

and the program will be led by urban park rangers and trained NYC park staff. The program will be open to families

[A]

with kids who are ages 6 to 13.

[B]

The children will be watched at designated city recreation centers. In support of the policy, Mamdani said,

[A]

quote, every parent knows that a few hours to yourself can feel like a luxury. It shouldn't be. Making New York City more affordable isn't

[B]

just about lowering costs. It's about giving people back their time. Well, this is now the platform of the Democrat Party. Their role, it's in their view, it's the role of the state to confiscate your money and then redistribute it for the benefit of Democrat voters, most of them foreigners who don't even belong in the country. So that in this case they can have a night out. Because also the other thing that the government that they want is for the

[A]

kids, your kids, to spend more time

[B]

in the care of government employees. Which of course is what this is really about.

[A]

Most of these kids already spend. They already spend all day in. Yeah, this is great. They spend all day in the public

[B]

school system being cared for by government employees.

[A]

And, and then when they get home, just drop them back. And then, and then they'll be home

[B]

for like an hour and just drop them right back with the government employees.

[A]

Just make sure your kids are never around you. They spend every waking moment being cared for by a government employee. It sounds like a great idea. If you're going to do that, why not have the government pay for everyone

[B]

to have a house and a salary of $100,000 a year, a fun little hobby and a nice car and a

[A]

pet gerbil, as long as we're spending

[B]

money that we don't have.

[A]

What exactly is the limiting principle here? Don't ask the women or the foreigners

[B]

who voted for Mamdani. They don't know or care. Half of them don't even speak English, so they have no idea what you're talking about. Anyway.

[A]

Young men today have been fed a

[B]

very disturbing lie for decades now. They're told that they should go to university straight out of college, take on thousands, thousands of dollars in debt before they even know what they want to

[A]

do with their life, with the goal

[B]

at the end being a piece of paper that supposedly will help them land a high paying job.

[A]

But as many men have found out the hard way, that was all a lie.

[B]

Our sponsor, Grand Canyon University, has a different message to tell you though.

[A]

Whether you're looking to finish a degree, develop new skills, or prepare for a different career path, GCU is built to help you move forward with purpose.

[B]

And while many colleges continue to increase

[A]

tuition, Grand Canyon University has held tuition rates steady on its traditional campus for 17 years. That's part of its commitment to making

[B]

higher education more affordable and more accessible for you.

[A]

Whether you want to study on campus,

[B]

in Phoenix or online from wherever you are, GCU offers hundreds of degree programs

[A]

that fit real Life.

[B]

More than 132,000 students have chosen Grand

[A]

Canyon University because they want an education

[B]

connected to opportunity, leadership and purpose.

[A]

If you're thinking about your next step,

[B]

now is a great time to explore what GCU has to offer.

[A]

Learn more at gcu. Edu Grand Canyon University Private Christian, affordable nonprofit.

[B]

That's gcu.

[A]

Edu it's important to emphasize that while

[B]

Democrats are busy enacting socialism in New York and several other states, the Trump

[A]

administration is showing signs that it's backing

[B]

down to some extent in the fight against the illegal invaders inside the country. This is from a recent article in the New York Times.

[A]

Quote, federal prosecutors in Illinois said they were upholding the rule of law in

[B]

October when they charged six protesters with conspiring to interfere with a federal agent after a clash outside an immigration detention center.

[A]

That felony charge could have carried years in prison for the defendants, who included

[B]

a Democratic congressional candidate, a village trustee and a candidate for county office.

[A]

But in a surprise move on Wednesday,

[B]

months after the end of the immigration

[A]

enforcement blitz that set off the protest, prosecutors told a judge they would dismiss the remaining felony charges and proceed with only misdemeanors.

[B]

The decision was a significant retreat in a case that captured the attention of the Justice Department's highest ranking officials and brought accusations from Democrats.

[A]

The prosecutors were pursuing a political agenda. This case has cost myself, one of my closest friends and four others immeasurable amounts of stress, money and opportunity, kat

[B]

Abugazela, one of the defendants, said on social media after the hearing. Ms. Abuguzela, who lost her Democratic primary

[A]

for Congress last month, described the dismissal on Wednesday as a huge win, but noted that she was still awaiting trial

[B]

on the misdemeanor charge.

[A]

So they're eliminating the felony charge against

[B]

these Democrats including Kat Abu Ghazala, because they supposedly didn't engage in a conspiracy to impede ice.

[A]

Meanwhile, we have multiple videos of this

[B]

woman on camera engaging in a conspiracy

[A]

with other people to impede ice.

[I]

Watch.

[A]

If this woman doesn't spend at least,

[B]

I mean really like a decade in prison on a felony conviction, then we're in a lot of trouble. And when socialists play to win and everyone else shows leniency to the enemies of civilization, then the socialists will inevitably prevail. That's the lesson of the Bolshevik Revolution as outlined in the our latest episode of Real History. It's maybe the single most important lesson for Americans to understand right now, which

[A]

is why we produced the episode. Left to their own devices, these people

[B]

will consume every single one of our freedoms like a cancer until there's nothing left. And they will do it to the

[A]

delight of countless women on TikTok. The good news is that these people

[B]

are dumb, ignorant, often deranged, which is why debates resemble a comedy routine or a circus act. The bad news is that dumb, ignorant and deranged beats lazy and complacent every single time.

[A]

Are we lazy and complacent enough to let these people succeed as they did

[B]

in the early 20th century? Democrats are betting we are.

[A]

And it's now the highest priority of

[B]

every American to prove them wrong. I'll do it for the show today.

[A]

Thanks for watching.

[B]

Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow.

[A]

Have a great day.

[B]

Godspeed.

[A]

Once upon a time, there was a country. Not just a country, but a big one. An empire. In that empire, there was an upper middle class family who had two boys, were raised by their mother, loved books, Uncle Tom's Cabin and the Bible their father admired. The country's leaders, were patriotic and happy. Both sons went to universities where they were radicalized. One of the brothers read a book and convinced him to try to shoot the country's leader. He was hanged. The other brother read the same books, but decided to lead a movement. First they came for the universities and no one seemed to care. Then they took over the unions and again no one seemed to care. Then they created their own media organizations and took over the cities and again, most people just ignored it. Change, after all, was something they could believe in until it was too late. Sound familiar? This is the real history of communism. The Russian Revolution.
