Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show. Happy Wednesday. We have a great show for you today. The thief has been identified. We now know who stole that New York Knicks trash can in the viral video from the championship parade. Who steals the trash can? I mean, how much of a lowlife do you have to be to pick up a full trash can, dump all of the trash on the sidewalk of the city you're supposed to be celebrating, and then steal the trash can? You're not going to believe who it was. Actually, you will totally believe it, but you're going to eye roll. Plus Chamath Palihapitiya is here. I never say it right, but we are French math from the online podcast. He's going to be here to tell us what we need to know about the latest with AI.

And he's got some really helpful insights on it. But we begin today with the Democratic Party taking a giant leap to the left last night in New York City as voters rejected the establishment candidates and delivered victories for the three candidates backed by socialist mayor Zoran Mamdani in primaries for House seats. OK, this is not the general election, but New York being what it is, it might as well be. And boy, are we going hardcore left in Manhattan. It's very interesting to me because when Mamdani got elected, I know tons of Republicans who are actually operatives within the party who were saying they couldn't wait to make him the face of the Democrat Party. And they thought that would be very good for Republicans.

depends on where you are, because in New York, he's he's a hero. I mean, he's becoming extremely strong and formidable as a kingmaker within the Democrat Party. And, you know, New York is not considered extreme by most Democrats. Like it's how they see their own party and how they see the world and generally where they'd like to take their own party. The far left is ascendant within Team Blue, and there are some key reasons why that's so. Let me just give you a couple of the updates, and then we're going to bring in Mark Halperin to talk about what this all means. In New York House District 7, State Assemblywoman Claire Valdez defeating Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso after campaigning on her staunch campaign

opposition to Israel. In New York 10, former city comptroller Brad Lander defeating incumbent Dan Goldman, who's been such a thorn in the president's side and so blindly loyal to Joe Biden and was trying to tell us that he did so great at the debate. I mean, that's how much of a loyalist he was. A lot of good it did him. He lost by more than 30 points last night. Lander saying we need to reset our relationship with Israel. Now, he wasn't quite as extreme on the issue of Israel as some of these other candidates, but Dan Goldman was super pro-Israel. So the contrast was stark. But the candidate who takes the cake last night is, all right, this is a tough one. It's helpful if I can see it written down.

It's Dara. It's very tough. Dariliza Oliva Chevalier. And she beat a five-term incumbent, Chevalier we're going to go with. She beat a five-term incumbent who's also chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, but not woke enough for Mamdani's New York City. And once again, Israel was key here. She hates Israel and AIPAC. And it was not afraid to say it. And she wasn't afraid to say a bunch of other crazy shit either. I mean, like this woman is out there. If this is the future of electoral politics in Manhattan, thank God we moved and it cannot spread. I mean, honestly, like my own views on Israel have changed, but my God, this person, she wants to abolish the police, prisons, ICE. The U.S. Senate, the Supreme Court.

This is as radical as you can go. And she just won the Democrat primary in New York for New York 13. Now, if she's elected, as she is expected to be in her deep blue district, they're not going to go with a Republican in the general. She will be one of, if not the most radical far left candidates in the history of Congress.
