Summary

  1. Criticism of the Radical Left:

    • The speaker repeatedly emphasizes that the radical left should be taken at their word when they express their beliefs and actions.
    • The Democratic Party is described as being overtaken by socialists, communists, and Marxists.
  2. Perception of the Democratic Party:

    • The speaker claims that the Democratic Party is effectively dead and has been replaced by more extreme ideologies.
    • There is a belief that the party has not learned from past election losses and continues to push extreme policies.
  3. Example of a Socialist Candidate:

    • We highlight a New York City mayoral candidate, Zoran Mandani, who openly identifies as a socialist.
    • Mandani's policies include raising corporate taxes, subsidizing free transit and childcare, and establishing city-run food stores.
    • The speaker criticizes these policies as unrealistic and harmful to businesses and property owners.
  4. Class Warfare and Election Strategy:

    • The speaker argues that Mandani's campaign is based on class warfare, appealing to poor voters by promising to take from the rich and give to the poor.
    • This strategy is compared to historical Robin Hood tactics.
  5. Economic Consequences:

    • The speaker warns that high taxes and extreme policies will drive businesses and wealthy individuals out of the city.

So there are so many times that I say, and I will continue to say this on this show,

0:07.1

when the radical left tells you who they are, believe them. When the radical left tells you what

0:14.8

they believe in, believe them. When the radical left shows up and does something that seems

0:20.5

absolutely psychotic and crazy,

0:23.9

understand that that is actually what they believe. For far too long, what we have been seeing

0:31.4

is that we try to apologize on behalf of the crazies on the left. We try to apologize. We try to say,

0:40.2

no, they didn't really mean that. We let them get away with it. We're constantly trying to say that

0:45.1

what we're witnessing and what we're saying is somehow not real because we say there's no way

0:49.3

but they've had to lie and to see voters for several years now because they knew that America

1:38.5

really wasn't ready for the Democratic Party to die and for them to just go to the next phase, which was to decide that you're a socialist, a Marxist, or a communist.

1:50.1

And so the Democratic Party is actually filled with candidates that are those things.

1:55.0

Now, let me be clear. Some of them believe in multiple different areas of socialism and Marxism communism. Some are just straight up

2:02.5

declared socialist. Others are just declared communists. Others are just declared Marxists. But the

2:07.8

majority of the candidates right now in the Democratic Party fall into those categories. You look
