PM Show Hr 1 | What's Happening in NYC is an Inflection Point for the Democrats

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Our little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show, and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it. Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online? And they say, no, I was on a podcast. Or, as happens for more than anything else, somebody sent me an email, say, hey, check out this podcast. He's from Houston, talks a lot about Texas, but talks about national stuff, and I think you'll like him. And that's how our little podcast grew to be one of the top in the country. It's pretty cool. And so we have show sponsors on the radio. We have show sponsors on the podcast. One of them's a good buddy of mine. His name is Ray Breyer's. And he owns the Pipeyard Inc. And what he does on his cell phone is people call and go, hey, I got a 118 mile pipeline going through Louisiana into Mississippi. And he says, all right, let me go check it out. He goes out. He rips that pipe out of the ground all the way. And he goes off and sells that to somebody else who needs the pipe. It's a beautiful process. And people call him all from our show, from our podcast, all over the country. Thepipeyard, inc.com. 409-788 pipe. 409-78 pipe. Talk to Ray, the pipe ma'amma, good buddy. Turns out, at least according to my urologist, that all that talk about taking testosterone is bad for your prostate. That was based on one study that's been debunked. But you know what? Don't trust me. Do your own reading. Cross-reference. Learn more. Go to fixmylowtie.com. That's synergenics. That's who I use for my testosterone replacement. It makes me energetic. It makes me happy. I lost some belly fat out of it, which was really nice. And yes, it does that too. Fix my lowt.com.

Yes. Okay. Wow. That's beautiful. Couldn't look any better, in my opinion. Hey, guys. Finally, you get to see your house. Okay. Our look at these United States reminds us that history is always being made. With Morocco, we're off to the people's house, the White House, now under construction, a project swirling in controversy.

More likely, this is part of what Donald Trump has been doing since day one of his presidency, running the largest pay-to-play scheme in the history of the country, and probably soliciting donations from people who've got business before the United States government. And all of this is going to have to be investigated. It will. All of this will have to be uncovered. It will. And these people are going to be held accountable. There is a real problem in this country, and most Americans recognize it. When Bill Maher, a long time sort of pseudo-intellectual comedian talker, podcaster, very influential on the left, or was influential on the left, now he's more influential in the middle. When he starts calling out the Democrats, that was a good sign. But the fringe of the Democrat Party, the far-left ideological wing, have captured the party and driven out any moderate, any free-thinking individual. And so what they do at a moment like that is they attack anyone who's trying to move the party back to the center. There will be those who will argue, but relative to today, the Bill Clinton administration was much more of a centrist administration. When he lost... The assault weapons issue, when he lost Americans, when he lost his core, his base over that, when he lost in 1994, just as he had lost a decade before in Arkansas over a license plate tax and I think a fishing tax as well, he learned from that. He learned from it, and he went to, what's old boy that taught him to triangulate, Morris, Dick Morris. And Morris taught him how to get back to the middle because the middle is a wider swath of America than people realize. We think it's all the far right and the far left. But actually, what's being called far right is actually middle America. Middle America does not want boys in the girls' locker room. And the fringe left doesn't understand that. We've got that going for us. But the fringe left has taken over their party, and they're not allowing any moderate influences in there. And they're scared. Kathy Hochul doesn't want to be campaigning for Zohran Mamdani. That's why she didn't do it at first. Hakeem Jeffries doesn't want to have had to endorse him as he did this past weekend. But he has to, or they'll run somebody against him. Chuck Schumer didn't want to drag out the shutdown because he's losing support every day. But he didn't want to be seen this week because he doesn't want Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run against him in the Senate. Chuck Schumer's not doing what's best for the country or even what's best for the party. He's scared to death. He's got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez nipping at his heels. Nancy Pelosi's got an opponent in her primary. A real opponent, a state senator. When Bernie Sanders came after Hillary in 2016 in that primary, he pushed her to the left. He got 43% if I remember correctly in Iowa. In Iowa.

Bernie Sanders proved that there was a far-left progressive element of the Democrat Party that was growing in power and influence. And it was being funded by leftist influence. And it was recruiting a coalition of very radical elements, Muslims, illegals, transgenderers. And they were taking over the party up and down the line. So the old party of kind of retired labor folks, they were being pushed out and they were aging out. They were phasing out. And so the Democrat Party was changing overnight. And the completion of that happened. They lost in 2000. They lost in 2004. By 2008, it was a very different Democrat Party than Bill Clinton had left it. And that's the year Dashel sent his resources in for the Obama machine. They brought in young folks. They brought in technology. And that was the moment. The Democrat Party lurched to the left from which it has never recovered. That Obama lurched to the left in 2008 and then 16. Hillary is not nearly as far left as Barack Obama is. That's a fact. People don't want to hear that because they hate her. And I got that. She's very hateable. I don't like her. She's not a good person. But Obama can be worse than her. Those two things can be true. She can be terrible and not quite as terrible as Obama. Oh, you're like Hillary now. No, no. There's a little nuance. Calm down. And no, I'm going to hear it. But it's true. Well, when she didn't win in 16, then you had some elements coming out like Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren comes out, and so she's going to get the angry leftist, you know, she's American, Indiana. These are radical progressive nut jobs. And by the way, we're seeing Elizabeth Warren's on school boards across the country, on mud districts, on city councils. This sort of hysterical white liberal woman who doesn't know what she stands for. It changes every day. But she knows that she wants to hug something that the rest of us think is weird. So it might be boys in women's sports. It might be boys in the girls' locker. Her mind is absolutely open, wide open to anything. Just tell her what to say. Marxism, socialism, communism. transgenderism, chemical castration, tax the rich, it doesn't matter. She's the Marianne Williams, and she's very, very sorry that white people are so racist, and she's willing to kill all the white people. She has to. Not because she hates them, but it's the right thing to do because she's read a book, and she went to a conference, and she has now come to realize her own privilege, and so if we have to kill all the white people, that's just what we'll have to do. And that's, you need to know black people that you can vote for her because she's willing to do that. And she's one of the good white people. And that type of candidate came out. You had Pete Buttigieg. You had Amy Klobuchar. You had Kamala Harris. And so the Democrat Party, the big boys, came in and said, look, we're going to lose to Trump. We can control Biden. He's barely alive. We can control him.

And so they pushed him across the finish line. But that was the end of that. Then 2024, of course, you got Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris was a fringe candidate, but she never actually excited the nutshell. How crazy is Zohran Mamdani? Let me give an example. He has a plan to make New York's buses safer, he says. You know how? Take away the fare box. Nobody will pay to get on the buses. It'll just be free. Now, why do that? Well, because one of the problems now is that people who don't want to pay, they're jumping on the bus and causing problems. So we'll just let them have it for free. This, well, let me play the audio. This is 409. You have a fare box on a bus. It increases a slight of tension of conflict of assaults. When you remove that fair box, rather, what you find is a safer experience, not just for the riders, but also for the operators. See? If people don't have to pay for things, then you won't have conflict. This is the same mindset in San Francisco where they said, as long as you steal less than $1,000, we won't stop you and we won't prosecute you. Guess what happened? They drove retail out of San Francisco. Well, if we don't arrest you, then we don't have conflict, you see? That's what this is about. This is who this guy is. Now, here's the worst part. We can blast this to every person in New York, not our listeners, but the other folks who are voting for him. And they can hear this and they go, well, it's kind of true. I don't want to pay for it. There's a great line that's always stuck with me. by Andrew Fraser Tyler. And he said, a democracy self-governance cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, The majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence from bondage to spiritual faith. From spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to apathy, from apathy to dependence back into bondage. I will read that opening line again. A democracy cannot exist. As a permanent form of government, it can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. Now, I know what you're thinking. Well, Michael, we're not a democracy anyway. For the purposes of this discussion, we are. Democracy is direct self-rule. We are a democratic republic, a governing system where we elect.

the folks who make the decisions as our proxy so we can get back to work. For the sake of this conversation and most, we are a democracy. I know people love to say we're not. You're right. We don't have a direct vote on everything other than referenda and things like that. But we do have self-governance. Well, but they don't do what we tell them to do, Michael? There's a whole set of reasons behind that as well. But be that as it may. A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largest from the public treasury. This is why. This right here is why. Socialism always appeals, especially to young people. I don't want to have to work hard like my daddy did. I don't work hard like my mommy did. Why don't do that? Just give it to me. We're rich. Just give it to me. Let's go back to 2021. Zohran Mamdani was elected to the New York State Assembly. He lamented that they needed to elect more socialists if they were going to reach their ultimate goal of seizing the means of production. This should frighten you because this man's about to be the next mayor of the city of New York. Seizing the means of production means, taking over private property, which he's made clear he will do, businesses, and of course the people there. You can tell the people there, hey, he's going to take private property. Yeah, we're going to get it. It can be a very lonely and isolating experience. I'm very lucky in that I have five other DSA endorsed comrades who are with me in the assembly and in the state senate. But for example, before we were elected, Julius Salazar was in office for two years without a single other socialists endorsed by DSA and understanding. It then makes it much easier to run a campaign that will be built around raising class consciousness because we will run the campaign challenging the current status quo and showcasing it through our critique. how this is an issue of capitalism. So there are 107 Democrats in the New York State Assembly out of 150 assembly. And of those 107 Democrats, there are 6 DSA endorsed electives and 7 DSA members. She has the seventh person who's a DSA member. She wasn't endorsed by DSA. Her name is Jessica Gonzalez-Ross.

We clearly do not have the numbers, as they are in this moment, to win the radical legislation that we need to bring that out and begin to believe that these kinds of results are sufficient. We have to continue to elect more socialists, and we have to ensure that we are unapologetic about our socialism. Now, we had an academic boycott campaign. to, and one of the aspects of that was to fight to stop study abroad at universities in Israel that were complicit in the occupation, many of which through the development of weapons technology for the IDF. Now, by bringing the issue of Israel, Palestine, apartheid to Boden, You bring it front and center. It's harder to ignore. Then making sure that we move to dismantle that relationship. Those are things that you can do as a legislator. For example, Andrew Cuomo has an executive order barring, you know, I think New York State from doing business with any company suspected of sympathizing with BDS. One thing I can do as a legislator is once we build up enough, you know, build up a large enough coalition for this, we overturn that executive order. But I sincerely believe in this political project. I sincerely believe in socialism. For me, it was Palestine that brought me into this movement. It can be such a lonely experience to be a socialist, and it was, for me, country. Because my journey, as Orrin alluded to it and referred to, in organizing began at my college campus with students for justice in Palestine. to power this journey and understanding that it is socialism that we are fighting for this moment right now, right? If we're talking about the cancellation of student debt, if we're talking about Medicare for all, you know, these are issues which have the ground swell of popular support across this country. But then there are also other issues that we firmly believe in, whether it's BDS, right, or whether it is the end goal of seizing the means of production. You've got the Michael Bari Weiss Show. Ray Breyer's is the pipe man. He owns Pipeyard Inc. And they buy and sell pipe all day long. And I am shocked how much business we've been able to send him across the country. Entire pipelines going across three different states where they need to get the pipe pulled out. He's like, I'll pull the pipe out, I'll sell the pipe. People buying pipe, people selling pipe. The people that buy pipe are environmental managers, pipeline project managers, somebody that's got an abandoned pipeline that's been removed. They want... The Pipyard Inc. Compliance and Regulatory folks. I want to get those pipes out of there. Selling pipe, folks that need carbon steel pipe, the Pipyard Inc. stocks everything you need, any kind of pipe. There is stuff that people call him for, industrial stuff, that he doesn't even have, and he tracks it down. He's working his phone, and his team is working their phones all day long. He's got a yard, they've got pipe. But... They are working the phones to get stuff for people all day long. 409-788 pipe. 409-78 pipe. I'm on testosterone, and I encourage everybody else to be on testosterone. If you're below 350 on your testosterone level, a very good chance your insurance will pay for you to have it. You know why? There's a lot of studies that say it's very good for you, not just your sex life, but your energy, your strength, all sorts of good things. Do your own research. Don't trust me.

But you should do your research, and you should get your blood panels checked, and they'll do all that for you at synergenics. Go to fixmylowt.com. Fix my lowtie.com. You want to proudly display your patriotism of this great country, or this great state, or both, or your alma mater. Kronbergs, flags, and flagpoles. 713-661.92. 22. In addition to making your business stick out, it allows you to make a statement of pride in the things you are proud of. Cronberg's flags and flag polls. 713-661-922. 713-661-922. What's happening in New York right now is an inflection point for the Democrats. It has put them into a situation they don't want to be in. They want to flirt with the radical left, but pretend like the radical left is not driving their party. And it's not until, for instance, one of their candidates, the Attorney General candidate in Virginia texts a fellow Democrat and friend that he wants his opponent's children to be murdered in front of his opponent and his opponent's wife. so that they can suffer watching their children die. And now Democrats are being asked, hey, are you still supporting him? And they go, yeah, yeah, we are actually. Because all we care about is winning. And once you understand that, you realize they're not offended by anything. They're not bothered by anything. They're not opposed to anything. They just want to win elections and have power. Period. End of story. Whatever they tell you they care about because you care about those things, they don't. They don't care about no kings. They don't care about authoritarianism. They don't care about any of that. But they think you do. So by saying that, they figure they can get you over to their side. But when, see, the crazies are supposed to be the foot soldiers. But as with every revolution at some point, one of the foot soldiers decides he's going to displace the leader of the junta. This is Qaddafi taking over the military in Libya. This is Idi Amin, assassinating the leader and taking over himself. First they take over the military, then they take over the government. Well, in this case, you've got the radical... By the way, this was what happened in Russia. It's a fascinating story. The very people who were the part of the revolution, once they took over from the czar, they killed all of them because they didn't want them turning on the new power force. So you've got these crazies that Zohran Mamdani has created this environment. So you've got Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez out there and you got Bernie out there. And now the Democrat Party is in danger. You've got guys like Chuck Schumer who's not been able to do anything before an hour with the shutdown because if he is perceived as weak to Trump, the Democrat Party doesn't want him to be responsible and compromise. The Democrat Party wants him to do radical things. And so he has to keep looking radical.

when what he wants to do is in this thing because it's destroying the Democrat Party. But a New York Democrat is very different than the candidates trying to win swing districts in Kansas or Texas or Louisiana. So they're being dragged to the far left extreme by the New York Democrats. And so the Zohran Mamdani case, they're saying endorse him or don't. Are you with us? And if you're not, we're coming after you. So the Nancy Pelosi's and the Hakeem Jeffries and all these, it's putting them in a real pickle. And then you look at their rallies. First of all, there's nobody white there. It's just a bunch of angry immigrants screeching. And then there's Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez up there. And she is completely an actress. She is playing the angry Ava Peron ready to slaughter everybody who opposes her. as the, you know, as the leader of the revolution. So here she is at the Zohran Mamdani rally. And my favorite thing about this is if you're around somebody who's drunk and you say, hey, Bob, we need to get you a ride home. You're drunk. I'm not drunk. Well, how do you think I'm a drunk? The one thing they will not tolerate is you saying they're drunk. And the drunker they are, the more true that is. Well, that's true in this case. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez says, they say we're crazy. We're not crazy. They're crazy. That's pretty much how we know you're crazy. But we must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not. Landish One's New York City. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane.

Remember the scene in one floor of the cuckoo's nest? I don't want his cigarettes and I don't want his or his or his or his or his or his or his or his or his or his or his or even yours. Do you understand that? I want my cigarettes. Ms. Ratchett, I want my cigarettes. I want my. Mr. Ratchett, what gives you the damn right to keep on with cigarettes piled up? Your death adds to squeeze out a pack only when you feel like it, huh? Miss Ratchett! Yes, Mr. Cheswick? I asked you a question. I heard your question, Mr. Cheswick, and I will answer your question as soon as you've calmed down. Okay. Let me tell you something. If you watched that movie and it had the impact on you that it did me and other people of my generation, when you refer to somebody as Nurse Ratchet, I don't know that there is a worse insult you can throw at them. I really don't. So let's go back to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just being screeching and crazy. But we must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not the outlandish ones, New York City. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane. Is this a Zohran Mamdani rally or a gathering at the nut house? It's hard to tell when Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is on the microphone. It really is. But we must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not the... Landish One's New York City. Why does she always call out to New York City? She thinks she's running for the Senate. Running for the Senate? Doesn't she know she's in the Oregon State Hospital? Sh! Charlie's going on about his cigarettes again. I want my cigarettes. Ms. Ratchett! I want my cigarettes! I want my! Miss Ratchett! They want us to think we are crazy! They want us to think... we are crazy. They want us to think we are crazy.

They want us to think we are crazy, but we're the sane ones. That's exactly what you would say if you're crazy. I don't feel the need to protest that I'm not crazy. Do you know? We're going to add a little bit about these whorehouses I know all about. Ramon wants to know what around the world is. Whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honky lighters, husker do's, husker do's, hoosker don'ts, nips and daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser? The Michael Bari Weiss Show. The dehumanizing rhetoric of Adolf Hitler is once again alive and well on a national political stage. This time, of course, in the United States, this time given life by former president and current Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump. A lot of people have tried to draw similarities between Mussolini and Hitler. Springtime for Hitler and Germany. The difference, though, I think, makes Donald Trump even more dangerous, and that is he has no philosophy he believes in. Springtime for Hitler and Germany. He talks about the blood of America's being poisoned, echoing the same exact language used in Nazi Germany. Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Hitler was duly elected, right? And so all of a sudden, somebody with those tendencies, so dictatorial, authoritarian tendencies would be like, okay, we're going to shut this down, we're going to throw these people in jail. And they didn't usually telegraph that. Trump is telling us what he intends to do.

I think one of the reasons that President Trump is refusing to negotiate is because he likes the fact that the government is closed because he thinks he can exercise king-like powers. He can open up the parts of the government that he wants. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. I mean, this is a leader who is trying to transition our government from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state. He was also asked about... the main Senate candidate, the Senate candidate from Maine, Graham Platner, and his Nazi tattoo. I keep getting people tell me it's not a Nazi, it's actually a Nazi tattoo. Just go ahead and know that. So you called him real impressive. But since then, we've discovered he has a Nazi tattoo. So you call Trump a Nazi and... For what? For moving the Israeli, the American embassy to Jerusalem, for bringing peace to the Middle East? Now you've got a real Nazi in your party and you got nothing but love for him? What's going on here? All right, so let's see how he responds to that. Earlier this month, you called Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner impressive. But since then, obviously, a lot about him has come out, including the fact that he had a Totenkov, which is a skullhead. It's the Nazi emblem for the SS. He had one of those tattooed on his chest. He's denied that he knew what the tattoo meant until recently, but CNN did find several times he discussed the Totenkov emblem in recent years and months. Do you still think Graham Platner is impressive? Yeah, I saw that reporting. I think I'm meeting with him this upcoming week. So I'm certainly interested to hear from him about it. I mean, anytime you see something like that, you scratch your head. But I've also listened to him talk about, I mean, the difficult time that he went through in his life. And frankly, it's not unfamiliar to a lot of soldiers who came back from service and had a very difficult time readjusting. So he sounds like a human being. me, a human being who made mistakes, recognizes them and is very open about it. But yeah, certainly, I'm looking forward to sitting down and talking to him about it. He's obviously, you know, right now performing very well in the polls in Maine. He's talking a language that speaks to a lot of middle class voters, a lot of Trump voters that, frankly, are looking for Democrats that understand working class concerns. And I'm looking forward hearing from him. Democrats have been calling Republicans Nazis for years. But then one of their own candidates decorates himself his body with permanent Nazi imagery. And then all of a sudden, well, Nazis aren't so bad. Do you remember how they treated Elon Musk? After he did a wave that said, my heart goes out to you, they made that a Nazi salute. These people are nuts. What you saw is what you think you saw. Elon Musk did Heil Hitler salute. He did. And what you were talking about is maybe the most dangerous moment in modern American political history, whereas there is a sense of endorsement from Elon Musk and a sense of entitlement and immunity.
