Ep. 1827 - DEEP DIVE: Who Is Behind The Rapid Rise Of The DSA?

Hi, Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Are you looking for a beach read this summer? May I suggest your big wireless bill. It's got suspense, mystery, a slightly flat emotional arc, and a shocking twist where you realize you've been overpaying the entire time. Fortunately, though, Mint's story is better. Every plan, $15 a month, even unlimited. That's it, happy ending, zero tears. Give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch. Upfront payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months, or $180 for a 12-month plan required. $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra. Initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes. May slow when network is busy. We need to begin today with an important announcement. The most thorough deep dive we've ever done, our special on the civil rights movement, is now available for free on YouTube. It's a full-length documentary that, among other things, will make you completely rethink Martin Luther King Jr. and his alleged legacy. We have new documents and disturbing information you never learned about in history class. Most of these real history documentaries are behind the Daily Wire paywall, but we decided to release this one for free, primarily because the King family tried to censor us. They don't want you to watch this documentary because it undermines the mythology they've spent decades building, a mythology that serves as the foundation for today's civil rights regime. It's a story that can only be told by people who are not afraid of legal threats or harassment from the King estate, and unfortunately for them, we're not intimidated in the slightest. So you can watch the full documentary right now on YouTube on this channel, which I recommend you do, right after you watch this episode. One of the things you learn as you watch the documentary and our other real history documentaries, particularly the one on communism, is that left-wing movements don't simply appear out of thin air. They might seem spontaneous, but they're actually the product of extraordinary calculation and manipulation. And that brings us to the issue that I want to talk about today, which is the rise of the DSA, or the Democratic Socialists of America. Now, not too long ago, the DSA was merely a collection of completely powerless, unwell, unhappy failures, adult children with nothing to contribute except viral videos like this one, which admittedly were pretty entertaining. This is from the DSA's National Convention in Georgia from all the way back in 2019. Here it is. Quick point of privilege. Quick point of personal privilege. Guys, first of all, James Jackson, Sacramento, he, him. I just want to say, can we please keep the chatter to a minimum? I'm one of the people who's very, very prone to sensory overload. There's a lot of whispering and chatter going on. It's making it very difficult for me to focus. Please, can we just, I know we're all fresh and ready to go, but can we please just keep the chatter to a minimum? It's affecting my ability to focus. Thank you. Thank you, comrade. Okay, is there a speaker against name, chapter, pronoun? Point of personal privilege. Yes. Please do not use gendered language to address everyone. Quick point of privilege once again. Hi, James Jackson, Sacramento DSA, he, him. I have already asked people to be mindful of the chatter of their comrades who are sensitive to sensory overload, and that goes double for the heckling and the hissing. It is also triggering to my anxiety. Like, be comradely isn't just for like, you know, let's keep things civil or whatever. It's so that people aren't going to get triggered and so that it doesn't affect their performance as a delegate, okay? Your need to express yourself is important, but your need to express yourself should not trump or over, like. Now, if you're listening to the audio podcast, you should know that as the speakers were whining into the microphone, some of the members of the audience were putting their hands in the air and waving. They do this in lieu of applauding. It's called jazz hands because they don't want to trigger anybody with loud noises. It was actually one of the ground rules of the convention. They had to use jazz hands. And other rules included, and I quote, no misuse of doors, no misuse of doors. I don't know how you misuse a door. No interacting with cops. No talking to the press. And my personal favorite, no aggressive scents in the room. So they had to use the term aggressive scent instead of disgusting scent because none of these people have showered in months. So, you know, they can't throw everybody out. So instead, they specifically banned heavy artificial fragrances, strong perfumes, or scented lotions. But if you smell like Taco Bell Mexican pizza mixed with. mixed with various bodily fluids, then, you know, you're good to go. No problem there. In any event, this seemed like reassuring footage at the time because watching this, you simply could not imagine these people taking power in the United States. They can't even get through a convention without melting down into hysterics. And indeed, plenty of commentators used this footage as proof that contrary to what Donald Trump was saying, socialists really were not a threat. For example, a Washington Post columnist wrote that, quote, depending on the day, socialists are a terrifying force ready to overthrow the government or a collection of snowflakes to laugh at. Well, just seven years later, the DSA is indeed a terrifying force that's ready to overthrow the government along with civilization in general. In less than a decade, socialists who seemed incapable of normal human interaction, much less organizing a significant political party, have won congressional primaries and congressional seats in Philadelphia, Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Denver. They've been elected mayor in major cities like Seattle and, of course, New York. There's another socialist about to take over as mayor of Washington, D.C. Dozens of socialists have won primaries in state legislatures this year. And at the moment, a socialist from the suburbs by the name of Alexandria Cesar Cortez is the leading candidate for the Democrat Party's presidential nomination in 2028. What exactly happened here? Well, it's a question that somebody needs to address because nothing like this, has ever occurred in American politics, at least not in living memory. And before you say, well, the economy is terrible, it's true that prices are far too high, as we've discussed at great length. It's also true that the economy was doing much, much worse at other points in American history. We went through a depression in which unemployment hit 25%. Thousands of banks failed. Stocks dropped by 90%. And despite that, socialists held very few congressional seats in the 1930s. And they were, never close to taking the presidency. In the 1932 presidential election, the socialist candidate finished with something like 2% of the vote. Now, yes, FDR took a lot of momentum out of the socialist movement with the New Deal. He cursed us with much stronger unions, created the Ponzi scheme that is social security, set up all kinds of new regulators, dramatically increased government spending, all of which were terrible ideas and all of which were concessions to socialists. But unlike Adam Schiff and Elizabeth Warren and the rest of the modern Democrats, at no point did FDR endorse the end of capitalism or candidates who wanted to destroy America from within, and we're open about it. What we're seeing today is new. So while economic factors like the cost of living certainly play a role in the rise of socialism, socialists talk about these issues, pretend to care about them, which they don't, pretend to have answers for them, which they definitely don't, history would indicate that there must be much more to the story. So what exactly is going on? Why is socialism suddenly so compelling to so many people, especially young people? Well, to answer that question, we should look once again at a typical gathering of socialists in the United States. Seven years ago, they were fretting about jazz hands, overstimulation, gendered language. What are they doing now? Let's take a look. This is from Hassan Piker's new roadshow. Hassan Piker, in case you're not familiar, is a socialist with a not only among the general public, but among Democrat Party elites. He campaigned with Abdul Al-Said for Senate in Michigan. He's done friendly appearances with Rashida Tlaib, Ro Khanna, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Francesca Hong, Zoram Amdani, and so on. So he's become, by all accounts, a major figure in the Democrat Party. And here's how he began his show. Watch. We are Charlie Kerr. We carry the flame. We'll fight for the gospel. We'll honor his name. We are Charlie Kerr. His courage, our own. Together, unbroken, we'll make heaven. They're singing along to an A.I. song about Charlie Kirk, mocking the fact that he was murdered on a college campus for disagreeing with them. And for good measure, they also mocked the gospel, as well as the fact that Charlie was a husband and a father. This is another expression of rampant psychopathy and nihilism that we're now seeing from many different corners of this country, from the women who rally behind Lindsay Clancy. Because she murdered her children, to the outpouring of support on the left for Luigi Mangione. For socialists, it's almost as if, you know, they've gotten tired of being an object of mockery on the internet. They're no longer interested in doing the jazz hands or the points of personal privilege. Instead, like the typical school shooter, they are heavily medicated, chemically lobotomized, and ready to murder everyone who's more successful than they are, which is to say anyone who has a family. Or a job. Or, you know, a reason for existing. Now, make no mistake about it, we're not talking talking about a new class of socialists here. These people are just as dysgenic and just as off-putting as the socialists of old, to include the socialists of 2019. So take a look at the crowd from Hassan Piker's event, just to give you an idea of the physical specimens that I'm talking about here. You know, it's like Where's Waldo, except you're trying to find somebody with a BMI under 30. They've somehow gathered together the only people in America who still haven't heard of Ozempic, which I find fascinating. Outside of a Reddit convention, it would be hard to find a more profoundly misshapen, pungent assembly than this. I mean, the most generous thing I can say about these people is that some of them look like villains from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The only point in their favor is that, as best I can tell, no one's wearing a mask. And that's not usually the case at these socialist meetups. Here's a shot from a group of people who gathered together to cheer Mamdani. And you can see there, again, a few masks in the crowd, which makes sense. Wouldn't want another super spreader event. According to the experts, the latest fecal specimens in the water are showing that there's a new variant on the loose, and you can never be too careful. Anything to prevent people from having to see your face, whatever it takes. And if you're looking for a more, if you're looking for, you know, a modern definition of socialism, this is what Mystery Grove says, which I, I think kind of brings all this together. It says, quote, communism is when ugly deformed freaks make it illegal to be normal, then rob and or kill all successful people out of petty resentment and cruelty. The ideology is all just window dressing. So it's, it's, it's hard not to draw comparisons as some have done on social media to that New York magazine cover, uh, after Trump's second election, when, where they showed a picture from one of the parties with the title, the cruel kids table, you probably remember this. They cropped all the black people out of the photo as, you know, anti-racist tend to do. And they tried to present the image as nefarious because it showed a bunch of healthy human beings all gathered in one place. God forbid. They truly couldn't comprehend how something like this could happen. Like how can you have a political movement that's comprised of young people who aren't about to keel over and die of a massive heart attack? And this is not simply an S an aesthetic observation. It's, it's directly relevant to the question I raised earlier, which was why are the communists so much more motivated and effective now as compared to the 1930s or even six or seven years ago? And one answer, although you won't find it in any political textbook is that, is that the, the population is much fatter, uh, more drug addicted and infinitely more disgusting than it was in the 1930s. Nearly half the country is obese today. Now it's something like 40% in the night in the sixties. It was around 12%. We don't have data from the 1930s because no one thought to track it, but the number was probably close to zero. So unlike the depression era, we now have a hundred million people who are disgusted when they look at themselves in the mirror every morning. And although we'd like to pretend there are no political ramifications to that fact, as we all know, um, and as Will Tanner has said, politics is indistinguishable from biology. If you want to understand how people think, and how they vote, you simply cannot ignore how they look and how they eat and how they feel. As Tanner pointed out, look at Robespierre, uh, uh, Danton or, or Merritt, look at any mugshot featuring an Antifa goon. They're all in very rough shape and that's not an accident. It's also no accident that at this event, the crowd booed when Assange Piker joked that upon further reflection, he wanted to revise his position that America was responsible for nine 11. Watch. America does not deserve nine 11. That's my new thing. By this point, it's hard to, you know, misunderstand what's happening. There's a mob of filthy people who are celebrating the murder of thousands of Americans at the hands of Islamic terrorists. Oh, and also they're celebrating the murder of Charlie Kirk and Brian Thompson. And they're, they'd be thrilled if the same thing happened to everybody else they disagreed with. You know, this isn't even a coherent political ideology. It's just evil. They see no value in their own lives. And therefore out of bitterness, they want to destroy everybody else. And this, this, this is where, again, the repulsive aspect of this crowd plays a significant role. All human beings are guilty of projection to some extent. You know, we feel a certain way about ourselves and we admit that feeling out onto the world around us. Now, people with high levels of self-awareness and introspection are able to catch themselves. Doing that catching themselves projecting and make the conscious effort to separate their own insecurities and hangups from the world around them. But socialists as a rule have little self-awareness or introspection. They also see themselves as contemptible, unsightly freaks, justifiably so. And that brings out a feeling of abhorrence, which turns into malice, which is then hurled outwards towards the population at large. Tom Piker understands exactly who his audience is. And that's why for years he's been conditioning them to murder their political opponents. Watch. What about democratic mayors? It's like, what the are you talking about, dude? We're talking about socialized medicine and you turn around and you, and you ask a question about murderous cities and their democratic mayors. I will. I want to kill him, dude. I want to in a video. I mean, I just not in a, in a, in a video. A game setting. I want to, I want to own him in a video game setting. Oh, Jesus. In a video game. Yeah. In a debate. I want to kill him in a debate in Minecraft. This is the kind of content that appeals to psychopaths like Tyler Robinson, the Reddit community, et cetera. Why bother debating with anybody when you could just murder them? I cannot name a single conservative commentator. Who talks like this because none of them do even the quote unquote edgy ones, but the left has about 50 of these people. And it's always been that way, by the way, going back centuries, these people want to kill you for disagreeing with them, but the plump and disheveled audience at Hassan Piker's event, as you could probably imagine are not good at organizing or doing anything else in life. They need leaders. And that's what the group didn't have in 2019. As you saw that meeting was led by a meek Asian woman. She was not channeling the derangement of the crowd towards anyone or anything. And as a result, the mob of socialists turned against her and against one another. So what can you buy for 15 bucks these days? Uh, lunch, maybe depending on where you go, possibly a paperless book, uh, approximately three eggs, basically not much, but right now, 15 bucks will get you an entire month of wireless service from pure talk. You can't even get a movie ticket for that. Uh, not even close. Actually. Remember when you could go to the movies and get a ticket and popcorn and soda for 15 bucks. I'm old enough to remember that. Well, now you're lucky if the ticket's under $21, that's just for the ticket. Uh, new customers can get any pure talk plan for 15 bucks a month for the first three months that, uh, that even applies to pure talks, top tier unlimited plan, which normally costs $65 a month. So while $15 may no longer be enough to feed a family of four at Taco Kong, apparently you can still pay your phone bill. You can save up to $150. There's no service contract. There's no cancellation fee and pure talk provides 100% us-based customer service. It's very straightforward deal, which is increasingly rare. As you know, these days go to pure talk.com slash Walsh to make the switch to my favorite wireless company, pure talk. There's a better wireless choice out there. And it's just 15 bucks a month for your first three months. Now's a great time to choose pure talk again. That's pure talk.com slash Walsh. The American healthcare system has developed a very innovative business model where you receive a service without knowing what it costs. And then several weeks later, somebody sends you a bill for an amount that appears to have been selected at random, but never lower than you'd hoped. And then of course there's health insurance, which has become so expensive that millions of Americans simply don't have it. So if you're a Christian looking at this entire system and thinking, well, there has to be another option. There is one that you should know about. It's called CHM. CHM is not health insurance. It's a health cost sharing ministry where Christians come together to share the burden of medical bills. The concept is actually remarkably simple. Christians helping other Christians in their time of need. And this is not some new experiment they're running. CHM has been doing this actually since 1981, and they've satisfied 100% of every eligible bill they've received that entire time. Programs start as low as $115 per person per month with added protection. CHM has been doing this for a long time, and they've been doing it for a long time. So rather than quietly hoping that you don't end up at the hospital this year, maybe look into an affordable biblical approach that's been serving Christians for more than four decades. It started today by visiting chministries.org slash Walsh. That's chministries.org slash Walsh. Now, thanks to social media and the COVID lockdowns, when people spent millions of hours indoors watching Hassan Piker streams on Twitch all day, the socialists have leaders. And that's a key point. As I mentioned at the outset, we just produced a lengthy in-depth documentary about communism, in addition to MLK and the civil rights movement, two separate documentaries, but very much related. And in that documentary, we cite extensively from the historian Richard Pipes, who has written several books on the topic of the Russian revolution. And when you read these books, you learn that the epicenter of the Bolshevik takeover was not the working class. The people who were supposed to benefit from the revolution were not the ones who started it. Really, the revolution began in the university system. It was a product of the intelligentsia. Vladimir Lenin and Leon Trotsky came from very comfortable backgrounds. So did the socialists who co-opted various student protests and transformed them into political rallies, and then ultimately riots. What the educated, disaffected elite understood better than the conservatives and the traditionalists was how to mobilize the masses. That was the case in imperial revolution. Russia, and it's the case in America. But the strategy was different by necessity. For one thing, unlike the situation in late imperial Russia, there's no world war raging at the moment. We don't have bread lines at the moment. No one is starving. That much is very clear. So how can you motivate enough Americans to become communists in order to overwhelm the system and start a revolution? Simply having a very fat population, that's not enough on its own. The fact that communists tend to be fat and hideous does not mean that all fat and hideous people are bound to become communists. So they needed something more. And the solution was to import the third world. Tens of millions of foreigners who are, and always will be, financially dependent on the government. This is the theory that Ann Coulter presents in Adios America, and it's yet to be refuted because it can't be. These foreigners are loyal voters, but for the most part, they're not intelligent enough to figure out how to subvert America and loot the treasury on their own. The DSA, various NGOs, and socialist elites tell them what to do. Now, the elites, for their part, don't see any contradiction here. People who have become very wealthy because of capitalism are happy to support the downfall of the entire country. And while this is obviously hypocritical and extremely dumb, you should know how these people justify their position. So here's Grace Ryan. You can see her there. She's been nicknamed Lulu Lennon, which is probably the best nickname I've ever heard for a communist. That's very good work there. She's a 25-year-old heiress from Ohio whose father turned Columbus chocolates into something of a chocolate empire. So she's a chocolate heiress, if you will. And on Instagram, she posts photos from her family lake house, and she shows off the family's Hummer and all these other luxuries of her life. And most notably for our purposes, she just campaigned in New York for Brad Lander's congressional campaign. Lander is a socialist. He won the primary, and he's guaranteed a seat in Congress next year. So how does Lulu Lennon justify her support for socialism exactly? Well, here's her response on X when she tried to grapple with this apparent paradox. And it reads, quote, everyone's trying to dunk on me for being a progressive from a privileged background. But like, have y'all never heard of noblesse oblige? I have a moral obligation to use my advantages to help those who are struggling. Now, what's funny about this reply, of course, is that noblesse oblige was a principle that preserved the aristocracy and the structure of society at large. It also helped maintain the very direct personal connection between the lords and the underclass. That was kind of the whole point. So to keep the peasants from revolting and destroying everything, the wealthy would occasionally do something for the common good, particularly for the people that they lorded over. In medieval times, the lords would, you know, they would, you know, they would, you know, they would lords would shelter and protect the peasants who worked the land. In more modern adaptations of the principle, the wealthy might fund a public library or establish a school or, you know, a national park or something like that. Now, by itself, there's nothing wrong with noblesse oblige. It certainly beats whatever Mark Zuckerberg is doing. But if you're a chocolate heiress and you support socialism, then by any definition, you're not supporting this principle at all. First of all, you have no personal connection to any of the people that you want to, quote unquote, help. And more importantly, what you're advocating as a socialist is the elimination of property rights, along with every other law that we have. You're advocating for murder in the streets and the destruction of the Constitution. In fact, these people openly admit this. And we'll play the footage in a second. So Lulu Lennon, like most liberal women, should not be involved in politics. She has absolutely no idea what she's talking about. Without a doubt, she'll be one of the first casualties of any revolution, although she doesn't appear to realize that, obviously. But it's not just women. There are many, many more examples of rich socialists who are embarrassing themselves. Here's one more. So this is Gustavo Gordillo, the leader of the DSA in New York. It's a very high profile position. And here's one of his recent stump speeches. Watch. They make figures like Hamas and, quote unquote, terrorists into effective enemies. I think all of us in the working class movement need to spend more time villainizing, too. There are actual terrorists in the United States, but they are not Mahmoud Khalil. The terror comes from the capitalists and their pawns. There are terrorists in the United States who deserve to be detained. And they sit high up in their offices in the financial district and in Washington, D.C. So Gustavo is obviously not a fan of capitalism or office buildings or people who work in the financial district. Never mind the fact that Gustavo Gordillo is a Yale grad in his late 30s with a very wealthy father who just purchased a $1.5 million home for him, a home that naturally is contributing to the destruction of a historically black neighborhood, quote unquote. This is from the New York Post because you simply can't make this stuff up. And here's what it says, quote, the local community board in Bed-Stuy slammed the plans for an expansive renovation of the historic $1.5 million house. That Gordillo's parents bought for the NYC Democratic Socialists of America leader. But the project ended up getting the green light anyway. The community board said the upgrades on the 1901 built home were not in alignment with the historically black neighborhood, which has been taken over by hordes of gentrifying lefties. One commissioner with the Landmarks Preservation Commission said during a hearing he thought the house is going to look more like a Hamptons beach house than a Bed-Stuy row house. The commissioner said that the window and door sizes were not going to be as big as the one in Bed-Stuy. And he said that the window and door sizes were not going to be as big as the one in Bed-Stuy. And he said that the window and door sizes planned for Gordillo's row house are too large and do not relate to the adjacent buildings. Okay, so here we have a guy who absolutely despises capitalism and white supremacy, and he's living in a historic $1.5 million home that's gentrifying, God forbid, some black neighborhood without any sense of shame or self-awareness. And by the way, you can see the home on your screen right there. To be fair, like every other home in New York, it's a dump. There are still places in plenty of places where $1.5 million will buy you, you know, like six bedrooms and 10 acres as it should. Or you can go to New York and for that price, get a rinky-dink townhouse so small that you could only fit two socialists or maybe six normal people inside it at one time. Nonetheless, this thing still costs a fortune. And instead of, say, turning it into a homeless shelter, he's using it for himself. You know, probably to get high and play video games, we can assume. And on that note, the guy apparently faked his backstory, too. He claims to be a union electrician, even though his apprenticeship was terminated because he failed to complete the work requirements. And for good measure, he's behind on his dues, like any good socialist would be. There's so many, you know, wealthy failures turn socialists like this that we could talk about them all day if we wanted to. There's no shortage of examples. Here's Fergie Chambers, who inherited hundreds of millions of dollars from his family who founded Cox Enterprises. They all have the names of rich people, too. Gustavo Fergie Chambers. Anyway, he went off and established communes, funded efforts to abolish the police and so on. And first, to protest the Dakota Access Pipeline, he bought some property outside Atlanta that housed more than a dozen people. The residents got thousands of dollars a month as a stipend before the whole thing fell apart and got sold off. Did something similar in Atlanta? Well, it didn't. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. Communists could live there for free, and eventually that was shut down, too. So he never asks himself why, if communism is sustainable, they can't create their own communes without investment from an extremely wealthy Cox heir. Nor does he ask himself why all of his communes keep failing. He's just a very troubled individual. At the same time, like some of his comrades, he also has an awful lot of money. And he's happy to use that money to fund the revolution. The midterm elections are heating up. Congressional control and President Trump's agenda hangs in the balance. Every headline has to be in the balance. potential to shift the odds. And in a key Senate race, James Tallarico is currently trading at 52% to beat Ken Paxton.

They're following a script that's been provided to them. You know, they're not coming up with anything on their own. The playbook has always been very clear. From its inception in 1982 in Detroit, Michigan, the DSA has had a consistent approach for seizing power. Once they had a voter base that was big enough. The founder of the DSA, a professor named Michael Harrington, had been running something called the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee in the 70s. This was a more mainstream leftist group with close ties to the union. And in 1982, Harrington merged his organization with the New American Movement, a feminist anti-war group, to create the DSA. Now, altogether, the organization still wasn't very big. It only had about 6,000 members or so. But Harrington adopted an approach that the DSA still uses to this day. And that approach is important to understand. It's called realignment. So realignment means that instead of competing against the Democrat Party, the socialists would infect the party from within and move it to the left over time. Harrington understood that in America's two-party system, a separate DSA party would not accomplish anything. In fact, it would be counterproductive. It would only benefit the Republican Party by dividing the opposition, obviously. So the DSA, they didn't follow the lead of the Libertarian Party, or the Green Party, or the Constitutionalist Party, or whatever, or any of these other minor parties in American history. Instead, the DSA began targeting Democrat primaries, which typically have low turnout, especially when it's not an election year, in the hopes of a surprise victory or two to gain momentum. Now, if we go back to the DSA meeting that we opened the show with, the footage from the circus in Georgia, you'll find that this strategy of realignment was still a major focus for the DSA. And in between lecturing one another on pronouns, the DSA was still a major focus for the DSA. And in between lecturing one another on They were talking about the importance of remaining within the Democrat Party instead of creating a new one. Watch. Hi, everyone. My name is Sam Lewis. He, him. I'm from the New York City DSA chapter. This very simple amendment is to strike the language about forming an independent party. I want in conversation with the authors of the proposal since I think we're all in agreement that we do want to build a mass organization, political organization of the working class that vies for state power. So it's not an attempt to get rid of that shared goal. The problem with the language, as I see it, is that it counterposes forming an independent working class party with the tactical use of the Democratic line. So it's basically saying in the future we will break with. Um, our tactical use of the Democratic line. I think many of us have an agnostic position on that question, right? We want to Behave in the most strategic way as class politics in this country develops. We don't want to commit to what has historically been a failed strategy in the United States of forming a third party ballot line. So, um, I consider this a friendly debate. Um, I will be voting for the proposal, whether or not this, um, this passes, but I think it's important to discuss. Thank you. So this sounds like an obvious idea in retrospect, but it's actually one of the keys to the success of the DSA. And it's been written into their DNA since the 1980s when they were founded, they were always going to infiltrate the Democrat party on the theory that like the ruling party of the czar and Imperial Russia, the establishment class at the DNC would be too slow and too timid to respond to a socialist surge. And of course they were right. Took a few decades, but the strategy is now. We have to admit to this day, no establishment Democrat has declared war on these people or tried to establish any daylight whatsoever. Um, quite the opposite leading Democrats from Adam Schiff to Elizabeth Warren have aligned with the DSA and their candidates. Meanwhile, the DSA is openly talking about murdering their political opponents. They're celebrating nine 11. They're holding planning sessions where they described their plans to rip up the U S constitution. The journalist, Natalie Winters obtained, uh, this footage of DSA steering committee member, Cliff Connolly describing what the DSA has in store for this country. Watch. So the two things that we're famous for, uh, is our commitment to a program and our, uh, hatred of the United States constitution. And what the program does is it gives us a roadmap to revolution and it gives us the obstacle that we finally will have to get over. Okay. Which is to have a revolution, which is the United States constitution, the basis of the United States government and what the minimum maximum program specifically, what that format specifically gives us is, uh, that roadmap. It gives us the minimum, uh, circumstances under which we would be able to take power and govern. And it gives us the maximum program, which is the goals that we're actually aiming for. It also, uh, clarifies democracy as both the end goal and as. Part of the process to get there ensures the internal party democracy that we want to see in DSA. So it, it, it really wraps up, uh, the revolutionary tradition of democracy that I think socialism and abolitionism in the United States have always been a part of. And other meetings, DSA members are openly discussing their takeover of the Democrat party and how they finally assumed control of it. Here it is. We have seen that the democratic party establishment that we have. Has to be ripped out. We can actually start to grab hold of the ship of state and, and steer it in our direction, but it's going to be a, you know, violent process. Our country needs to change and this democratic party needs to change. I was more than glad to go on Hassan stream. This is, we, we need as, as Democrats, we need to go into these spaces. They're more comfortable talking like this in public now because they believe that they've finally conquered the Democrat party from within. After decades. Decades of trying. They have funding from enough aristocrats and want to be aristocrats. They're tapping into frustration with the establishment and with life in general, which has intensified with social media and the obesity epidemic and the COVID lockdowns. And now the rise of AI, which threatens to take millions of jobs already is taking a lot of jobs. And most importantly, the elites have decided due to the rise of Donald Trump, that they'd prefer to burn the whole system down to spite him. You know, if you read between. Between the lines, that's the real reason these arsonists are ascendant right now. Trump survived all of their Bolshevik attempts to imprison him and even to murder him. They've realized they can't take him down. They've also realized they can't take his movement down. So now their goal as, as, as very bitter and defeated people, as we've seen many times throughout history is to take the entire country down with them. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed. But in all of my years of public life, I have never profited from public service. I welcome this kind of examination because people have got to know whether or not their president's a crook. Well, I'm not a crook. For more than five decades, from Iran Contra to Monica Lewinsky to Russiagate, every political scandal has been measured against one, the Watergate affair. But what if Richard Nixon was telling the truth? What if Watergate isn't what it seems? What if hundreds of thousands of pages of sworn testimony, memoirs and newly released government documents tell a different story than the one you learned in school? In 1972, Nixon won the biggest electoral landslide in modern American history with grand plans to remake the federal government. Two years later, he was out of office. You were taught that Nixon's men broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters. to spy on his political opponents. You were taught that when he found out, Nixon covered it up, and that the cover-up was worse than the crime. You were taught that two heroic Washington Post reporters, guided by a righteous FBI whistleblower, brought the most powerful man in the world to justice. But you were never taught what really happened. I shall resign the presidency effective at noon tomorrow. The real history of the Watergate scandal is available now on Daily Wire+.
