Chapter 1: What are the motivations behind the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America?

0.031 - 22.09 Ben Shapiro

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.

30.17 - 51.85 Ben Shapiro

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.

52.13 - 63.026 Ben Shapiro

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.

Chapter 2: How has Zoran Mamdani become a key figure in the DSA's strategy?

63.106 - 82.191 Ben Shapiro

It's their pitch. It's not a bug. It's a feature. I know 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.

0

82.512 - 99.057 Ben Shapiro

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.

Chapter 3: What is the DSA's actual platform and what do they advocate for?

99.627 - 117.657 Ben Shapiro

I cite this this quote a lot from Barack Obama, from his book, his first memoir, because 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. The desperation and disorder of the powerless.

117.917 - 132.267 Ben Shapiro

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.

132.247 - 148.77 Ben Shapiro

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 Zorin Mamdani or by Chevalier.

148.75 - 173.88 Ben Shapiro

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 that 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.

174.687 - 189.627 Ben Shapiro

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.

Chapter 4: How are younger voters influencing the DSA's success?

190.668 - 210.374 Ben Shapiro

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.

0

211.315 - 226.009 Ben Shapiro

And 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.

0

226.73 - 252.602 Ben Shapiro

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.

253.021 - 254.484 Ben Shapiro

and remake the elections nationwide.

Chapter 5: What challenges do traditional Democrats face from the DSA?

255.887 - 272.278 Ben Shapiro

The ultimate goal, a Democrat Socialist Republic. And this is 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.

0

273.136 - 292.179 Ben Shapiro

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.

0

293.22 - 307.144 Ben Shapiro

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.

0

Chapter 6: How does the DSA plan to expand its influence beyond New York?

308.165 - 329.755 Ben Shapiro

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, Adriano Espaillat, is a sitting congressperson, won about 30,000 votes.

0

331.321 - 352.211 Ben Shapiro

And this congressperson won 50 to 55 percent 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. Espeliet won St.

352.251 - 366.488 Ben Shapiro

Nick, which is apparently a public housing project in central Harlem, by 40. Even as Chevalier won the greater neighborhood by 30 points. Overall, that's by out one New York City housing authority precincts by 24 points across the district. How about Brad Lander?

0

366.548 - 374.896 Ben Shapiro

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.

0

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the SAVE Act for the GOP and the Democrats?

375.997 - 401.141 Ben Shapiro

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 Socialists of America is led by overeducated 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.

0

402.283 - 417.304 Ben Shapiro

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.

0

417.465 - 436.254 Ben Shapiro

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.

0

437.916 - 451.897 Ben Shapiro

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. This is not about race. It's really much more about age.

Chapter 8: How does the Iran MOU affect U.S. foreign policy?

451.917 - 466.037 Ben Shapiro

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.

466.498 - 491.701 Ben Shapiro

Now imagine signing your name at the bottom of it and pinning it to your front door for the whole neighborhood to read. Thank you. one of the reasons I use ExpressVPN.

0

491.721 - 504.765 Ben Shapiro

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.

504.745 - 521.128 Ben Shapiro

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. That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N.com for four extra months of service. So Zorin 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 going to be national in nature.

540.87 - 552.589 Ben Shapiro

So here is Zorin 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.

554.459 - 573.641 Daria Liza Avila Chevalier

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.

573.941 - 577.125

These candidates have shown that they can. Let the Republicans talk about that more.

578.81 - 594.512 Ben Shapiro

OK, so again, he is going to make the claim that this is the face of the Democrat. OK, so that's the 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.
