of The Daily Wire, which is kind of amazing, with the launch of our new show, Friendly Fire, and a lineup of major announcements, including the world premiere trailer for The Pendragon Cycle, which you can watch right now at dailywire.com. Then we did something no one saw coming. We announced Daily Wire. Lifetime memberships. There are only 10,000 that will ever exist. That's it.

Well, folks, there's been a lot of talk about the right over the course of the last few days, the radicalism problem on the right. And as we talked about on yesterday's show, that is a problem that exists.

However, is it nearly as mainstream as it is on the left? Has it been imbibed? Has it been ingested? Has it been sucked into the great maw of the party and turned into the mainstream position on the right? The answer, of course, is no. However, on the left, the answer is very much yes. And herein lies the problem for the Democratic Party.

86.437 - 100.592 Ben Shapiro

The Democratic Party has decided to let the radicals run the show. And this has become extraordinarily clear over the course, not just of the past couple of election cycles, but in the past few months when Zoran Mamdani, the New York City mayoral candidate,

100.572 - 109.368 Ben Shapiro

who came from legitimately nowhere to become the frontrunner for New York mayor, has now been feted by the entire Democratic Party as the future of the party. It's an amazing thing.

109.889 - 132.083 Ben Shapiro

All of the so-called moderates in the Democratic Party refuse to dissociate in any way from Zoran Mamdani, who is, in fact, a terror sympathizer, who is, in fact, a Marxist radical, who is, in fact, a complete useless ne'er-do-well of a human being, who has somehow managed to manipulate himself into a position to become the mayor of the financial center of planet Earth in New York City.

132.124 - 151.285 Ben Shapiro

It's really, really incredible. And Zoran Mamdani, he's trying now to sort of back off some of his more radical public positions, some of them, not all of them. But the truth is that Zoran Mamdani is, in fact, a Marxist. He's a Marxist with jihadist leanings. That's just the reality. And in the modern Democratic Party, that is a feature, not a bug.
