Lefties Losing It: Zohran Mamdani’s aunt story falls apart

Lefties Losing It: Zohran Mamdani’s aunt story falls apart

It’s time for Lefties Losing It. And it’s been a while since we featured AOC in this segment. Let’s rectify that. Here is the diabolically ill-informed young socialist campaigning for a communist or Mandani. Hope you’ve got your earplugs handy cuz it’s about to get real screechy. Jews escaping Holocaust. Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow. Latinos seeking a better life. Native people standing for themselves. Asianameans coming together in Queens, in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten Island. Oh wow. Now A was also keen to trumpet how sane she is. How sane the mad left are who are supporting Zoran. I don’t think she believes what she’s saying. 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. Let’s see how sane they are. Let’s hear from another Zoran Mani supporter who obviously values inclusion, tolerance, and respectful dialogue, and of course, sanity. You turned on attack us. Nasty as Israeli song. You’re talking. He’s attacking us. Can you please have somebody? That’s a lie. You’re monsters. Cuz I’m a gym. Oh dear, that was unpleasant. But here, this next Zoran fan girl is actually far more frightening cuz she used to be a judge. Yes, a judge whose judgment is obviously warped. He’s young and he’s a person of color. I think he’s going to make an amazing mayor. I’m very excited about him. Are you worried about safety or anything with him being Not at all. Not at all because I think he’s got it right. I think the police are the police and we need social workers to wiggle with some mental health problems. Mental health problems, lady. Like uh an elderly woman wearing signs about the face of fascism. Do tell me more. Are you worried about your taxes going up? No. You support him so much that you’d be okay with your taxes going up? Yes. Yes, I would be. If there’s any chance of saving New York as a place for working people to live, he’s going to be the one to do it. He’s he’s a democratic social. That’s not Russian or Chinese. He’s for health care for all. If that’s socialism, then maybe we have to redefine what socialism is. So, it’s not like Venezuelan socialism. No, not at all. I’m I used to be a judge. I was a New York State Supreme Court justice. Now to former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre who was uniquely terrible at the job. Now she’s written a book and I don’t know if you’ve heard but she’s black and she’s queer. Black woman as a person who’s also LGBTQ as a black woman. As a black woman, I am a black woman. I am a queer woman. I am an immigrant. Being a black woman, as a black woman myself, that is the thing that I understood as a black woman is that I meant a lot to people of because of the communities that I represented, whether it was women of color, black women, queer community, LGBTQ community, immigrant, and as a black woman and I have my queerness, too. Yes, being black and queer is the only answer she seems to have well to every question. DEI and the Biden administration’s obsession with identity politics is how she got the job. And for Karine, it’s the only thing that matters. It’s the answer to every question. And to show how absurd this is, uh, let’s look at just one example. I’m not going to bore you for anymore, but just one example from that compilation. Let’s see how she answers a question about regrets. Karine, do you have any regrets at all for anything that you said while you were speaking on behalf of this administration? I’m Look, it’s just it’s a simple yes or no. You don’t even know. No, no, no, no. Because you’re you’re asking for a yes or no question. I want to put some context to it, too. I woke up every day I woke up every day very proud to be the White House press secretary. I woke up every day as a as a black woman who is queer. Now, let’s hear from a couple of certifiable liars. MSNBC anchor Nicole Wallace and the governor of Illinois JB Pritska. Listen to this. I haven’t suggested that that Donald Trump is Hitler. Um I I I wouldn’t I don’t think any Democrat has. I I actually um and I and I think it’s a it’s a smear that they project back on to critics. Uh what now? No Democrat has called or suggested Donald Trump is Hitler. Excuse me. Trump actually uh reenacting uh the Madison Square Garden rally in 1939. I write about this in my book from John Kelly’s words that Donald Trump is someone who I quote certainly falls into the general definition of fascist where one side stands for freedom while the other meets the textbook definition of fascism namely a far-right dictatorial regime like Hitler’s Germany or Franco’s Spain or Mussoliniti’s Italy but also white ruled South Africa and to be praising Adolf Hitler is dangerous and it’s also Disgusting. So just to be clear when you said we do agree President Biden believes that Donald Trump is a fashion. I mean yes he is paving the way to become a Vladimir Putin or to become an Adolf Hitler or a Kim Jong-un. That’s what he wants to be. Yeah. But Nicole Wallace and JB Pritska want you to believe that no Democrat would dare liken Trump to Hitler. It’s a smear campaign. Does JB Pritsker think we forgot all about this? What I know is in the early days of the Nazi regime, they started slowly but surely taking a pe away people’s rights. And what we’re seeing now is the very same thing. We’re talking about the death of a constitutional republic. That’s what happened in Germany in 1933, 1934. Uh and we’re seeing today that you’ve got an administration in Washington that’s ignoring court orders. This is literally the end of the the republic as we know it. Let’s bring in Sky News contributor Kosha Gada. Kosha, why do they lie like that? I mean, everything is on video. They have been likening Donald Trump to Hitler for eight years, if not longer. And and yet they are now saying it’s a smear campaign. I think cuz they’re out of options. They really are. Cuz they did do it for four to five years initially from when he descended on that golden escalator. uh it reached a fever pitch in those four years where he was sort of deplatformed and you know planning his comeback and then he succeeded. He won and he’s back. So they don’t have the option to rewrite history the way they might have otherwise if he had actually been in the dust bin of history. Uh since he’s back he’s more powerful one in a landslide. They only have one option left which is to deny it. But as you say we live in this era of ubiquitous video. Uh it doesn’t work and we can do these things all day long and uh I think despite that they have nowhere else to go. I could have paid you hours of footage if I wanted to of them doing precisely that. And it’s such a cheap tactic. It it’s it’s the sort of thing you do when you’ve got no options. But they have been doing it consistently as you said. Now, let’s have a look at democracy Californian style. Uh downtown Los Angeles. You’ve got it behind us. If you can see, it’s a big big day for California politics, but not so big when it comes to turnout. That’s something that we were expecting as we were going into uh primary day here. I’m going to take you inside here. It’s going to get very dark because this is a kind of a blackbox theater here. Uh but come on in. This is where the polling location is. Most of the the people that we’ve seen so far today have come in and they’ve dropped off their ballots. California does that incredible job of mailing most of those ballots. Kosha, that doesn’t exactly inspire confidence. Explain what that is. Why is it so dark? Why the mass mail out? Why aren’t there lines of people uh voting in person? What what what is that? The dark thing I thought it was a parody for for a minute. I don’t know why they’re in this like dungeon dungeon room. Uh the mailin why nobody’s why nobody’s turning out is I think first of all these local um offcycle elections have lower turnout, but I think people are just actually fed up. There’s a big chunk of the California electorate, leftwing though it may be overall that doesn’t feel inspired by any of the options and they’re not turning out. The mail-in balloting has been a long-standing strategy of the left, you know, extending the number of days you can vote before, counting ballots for for days after, and it’s all, you know, part of what their strategy is to try and get out the vote in the part of the electorate that votes for them. But I think the big picture if you zoom out is trust in elections and election integrity is low in America. It was and especially for Republicans which is half the country very important one half of the country. It was 23% or so after 2020. It’s improved now but it’s still in the 40s. That is overhanging even in leftwing places like California. And when you do things like this and extend mass mail and balloting and allow votes to be counted after the fact and don’t clean up dirty voter roles when dead people or legals or all sorts of people are on there, it is not doing anything to help that. And that is a very problematic thing for for a democracy as they love to always remind us we are. Now, let’s go to New York and the socialist mayor candidate there, Zoran Mandani, has been forced to clarify comments about his aunt not using the subway in New York City due to post 911 Islamophobia. Remember this? I want to speak to the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab. Zoran Mamani made those comments a few days ago and very quickly social media users identified his aunt and noted that she neither wore a hijab nor lived in the US during the period he was talking about. So Zoran Mandani has clarified earlier today he said I was speaking about Zerra Fuy my father’s my father’s cousin who passed away a few years ago. So there you go, Kosha. It was not so much his aunt as his dad’s cousin. So I don’t know if if in his culture, everyone’s called aunt and uncle. Um or whether he was uh just adding a little mayonnaise to that story to uh to make it a bit more, I don’t know, poignant. There might be some truth to the first bit. It doesn’t have the same ring to it as as my dad’s cousin uh didn’t want to catch catch next. it’ll be his, you know, his neighbor’s pet and then his high school friend’s uncle or what have you didn’t like, you know, police or whatever his issue of the of the day is. Uh it could be that there’s a little bit of that they the culture uses those terms, you know, rather loosely, but it doesn’t have the same zing. The internet is incredible at finding these things out. Video is ubiquitous, as we were just saying. And he with those crocodile tears, he really is I we know he’s on a glide path to victory. And he really is an actor, I have to say, and a good one. A very good one. And that’s why he’s hitting those things. And even if after the fact the internet solves these mysteries or calls him out, it doesn’t matter cuz he’s doing what he needs to do to get this thing in the bag because that’s where it’s headed. How boldly confident or arrogant would you have to be to be in the position he’s in? He’s about to be the mayor of New York City to pull out that story to go with it. I mean, it offended so many people even if it was accurate. um which uh there’s some major question marks. I didn’t believe it from the start, but you know, this is a city that was devastated. 3,000 people died and the impact of that terrorist attack lingers to this day. And he’s talking about his aunt and shedding tears about some supposed uh aversion to public transport as if that’s some massive injustice when people that lost their lives, thousands of people were murdered, 3,000 people. and so insulting. You’re right that he has it in the bag, so he doesn’t need to do these cheap tricks. I can only surmise that he has vast political ambitions. This is a stepping stone. We’re going to we’re not seeing the last of him career-wise. Him, AOC, all these people are very young. And many people have likened him to Obama in a way that yes, it’s about winning an election, but it’s also about just making your brand and really trying to instigate the issue set that you want to attach yourself with. And it is this one, notwithstanding that he’s sitting in New York City where it’s so insulting to do that. uh also very conveniently using one side of the heritage. So Obama famously always you know lead into his black side not his white mother and grandmother who raised him. Uh same here his mother is Hindu and this very elite filmmaker never talks about that side. He’s got all the hijab wearing Muslims in the in the background and he is playing to that because that’s the where the demographic winds are blowing in the west and I think he’s trying to get incredible though in New York that that he would do that because yeah you would think if you were advising him you’d ask him to shy away from that but that’s what I’m saying. He is so bold and confident about uh where he’s headed that he’s not shying away from any of that. Now, the media remain obsessed with this absurd notion that Donald Trump is going to serve a third term without taking the memes and jokes seriously. Listen to this exchange suggesting Donald Trump will try to remain in the White House by being vice president. Theory on how you might try to serve a third term is that you could run as the vice president. Yeah, I’d be allowed to do that. Is it the White House or the White House councils or your legal position? I guess no, you’d be allowed to do that, but I wouldn’t I wouldn’t do that. I think it’s ruling. It’s too cute. Yeah, I wouldn’t rule that out because it’s too cute. I think the people wouldn’t like that. It’s too cute. It’s not It wouldn’t be right. Marco Rubio has got a very good poker face. He’s not letting anything out there. Um, I mean really if they were concerned about people serving third and fourth terms, I might look at the influence Barack Obama had on the w Biden White House. Uh, what do you see here? I think the Republicans are Trump’s Republicans now. I think if JD Vance is the candidate, so much of what he does is in the Donald Trump mold. So, he doesn’t need to be there for his influence to linger. He doesn’t need to. He has completely remade the party. It started as a hijack. that’s what they used to say to just a rebuilding. Um, you know, the Congress still doesn’t have enough of the the populist types. There’s maybe five or six. I I would say a lot of the establishment people are still in there. That takes a few cycles to to renew, but that is where the trend is. That movement is ascendant. There’s JD. Even people like Marco who originally were of the establishment have all pivoted. all these mainstream people, Pam Bonni, all these people, they’re not all perfect, but they’re generally following in in his footsteps and sort of the populist vision. Um, I think, you know, it’s funny because the OG of the multiple terms was their favorite FDR, Democrat president. Um, we, as you mentioned, Obama had the shadow presidency was widely regarded. Maybe Trump could do that. He’s got plenty of property there and everywhere. Stick around. But it would be funny. He’ll never do this. It would be funny. There is one president who I think it was one of the Adams, second Adams that um went back into Congress after the presidency. If he ran for Congress in Florida and then was always in there forever just like stoking the media and doing all that, it’d be so funny. But he has bigger things to I think he’s finally entitled to retirement and and you know, maybe just uh some games of golf without having to worry about uh peace deals and geopolitics and everything else. Who do you see as the front runner? JD Vance to me is just a natural successor. I see eight years of him in the White House. But they actually have an embarrassment of riches. They’ve got Ronda Santis who would is a very capable candidate obviously governor of Florida. Marco Rubio is doing a excellent job and uh again very well regarded by the Republican base. Uh anything I’ve missed there? There’s quite a few other contenders who are also on the Yeah, I think those are the the big names. Um, it could be somebody outside of politics. You know, people I I hate to say it actually because I know everybody’s mind will go in one place, but there are young people that are just great at doing battle. People always talked about Charlie, but even others in that mold, you could see as well, just cuz what he has done is he has taught people how to fight. He’s uh completely figured out a way to go around the mainstream media, which makes it more accessible. So, there could even be somebody outside of government that uh we don’t quite think about today, but is just one orbit outside and could could jump in. Well, that’s a that’s a very good point. And there’s also talk about Donald Trump Jr. being um the next one up and uh I think there’s people already having bets on Baron Trump being president one day. There you go. He’s only 18 years old. He’s only 18, but possibly destined for great things. Now, before you go, Argentina’s Libertarian President Harvey Emil has won decisive victories in the midterm elections. And I think it’s time we revisited one of the all-time great Javier Mle rants. His was delivered before he was elected. No. No, you can’t give them an inch, Kosha. You cannot give them an inch. They will kill you. Uh, they almost killed Argentina. You look at what happened to Argentina over several decades. this once prosperous, proud nation on its knees and the way it’s bounced back under Malay is astonishing and again these midterm results are an endorsement of what he’s absolutely I think it’s that one and it’s his chainsaw when he was taking the chainsaw to the government those were the two uh such a great example like a cautionary tale for the whole world of how such a rich prosperous nation completely tanked in just such a short period of time and then also how you can come back from it and inflation was like north of 200% before him and it’s now down to 40% very very high but it’s it’s trending in the right direction. I think it’s going to be 30% by the end of this year projections say uh GDP was in a recession GDP growth it’s now 5 6% even it’s growing uh their currency was so devalued against the dollar it’s appreciated something like 40%. So all those things are going uh in the right direction still a long way to go. Unemployment is high uh real wages haven’t grown. poverty is tough because you can’t turn those things around instantly. Absolutely. But it is incredible and I think many governments from other prosperous nations that are faltering um like ours and others can take note. Welcome back. Now if you were in any doubt about the high esteem Zoran Mandani is held in, listen to New York Governor Kathy Hokll say he is part of taking back America. Taking it back where? With your help, we will elect Lauren and we take back America. Thank you, Queens. Thank you, New York. God love you guys. Joining me now is comedian and host of prime time with Alex Stein on Blaze TV. Alex Zoran AOC Bernie, this is the radical new leadership of the Democrat party. Now, I know it’s actually kind of scary if you look at it because, you know, they actually are gaining a little bit of popularity. I mean, you know, I would be shocked uh if you were to have told me that not that long ago in 2001, there used to be a big debate after 911 if they would even build a mosque near the, you know, horrible site of the tragedy on September 11th. And now we have a Muslim mayor of New York City. So, obviously, you know, there’s been a lot of progress to say the least in New York City. And I am shocked that Zoron’s probably going to win. And I’m shocked that AOC could be the vice president candidate. And I’m shocked that these people actually are taken seriously. So it’s it’s it’s kind of the world’s inverted. Rita, I’m I’m blown away that Zoron Mandani is more than likely going to win uh and become the mayor of New York City. It’s unbelievable. You call it progress. I would use other words. I don’t think there’s anything genuinely progressive about any of this. Now, Alex, tell me about the NBA gambling bust. What happened there, and why is it inspiring some wild conspiracy theories like this one from ESPN pundit Stephen A. Smith, who claimed it was part of Donald Trump’s revenge plot and a a a plan to distract from protests against the president. Have I said Trump is coming? He’s coming. I’m going to say it on national television again. Bad Bunny is is is is performing at the Super Bowl and all of a sudden you hearing ICE is going to be there looking to engage in mass deportations. The Super Bowl disrupting things. Big night for the NBA. When Biana put on a show that has now been smeared because we’re talking about this story. Okay, remember Trump has a long, long history connected to the world of sports because he had those casinos. Where do you think folks will come in half the time? I’m not talking about individuals. I’m talking about the culture. Whatever. It’s hard to keep up with that incoherent rant. It went on for some time longer. He also claimed, Alex, that Donald Trump was going to come for the WNBA next. I mean, that would be the best thing that happened to the WNBA since Caitlyn Clark if Donald Trump picked a fight with them. No, I know the WNBA needs all the public publicity they can get. But you know what’s so crazy about Stephen A. Smith is that he is the biggest hack journalist that there is. I mean, he’s a guy that would tell you the conspiracy theories are dangerous. Yet, he creates a fake conspiracy saying that Donald Trump is targeting NBA players. But see, Rita, this is a big deal because if these players were using rigged cards or, you know, deck shuffling machines that were rigged or glasses theoretically where they knew what the cards were going to come, you know, whenever they were dealt, they were robbing people. And that’s a serious crime. And if you’re robbing people of hundreds of thousands of dollars, you need to go to jail. I don’t care if you’re an NBA Hall of Famer. I’m sorry. You know, using your clout to rob people, you know, is a crime. So, I don’t think that this was a necessarily a political move. I think this is a move to kind of show that these people that, you know, the Donald Trump administration is not going to play around when it comes to defrauding, you know, other millionaires. We’re going to protect, you know, the people that are most powerful in this country and, you know, they deserve to be protected. And I know that sounds crazy, but I’m just saying if you’re gambling, you know, you take a risk, you know, that you can lose, but if you’re being cheated, that’s a crime. That’s theft. And those NBA players, if that’s what they did, they deserve to go to jail. Well, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal seems to agree with you. He had a very different take to Stephen A. Smith. But I know uh Chony, I know Damon very well. Played with Damon, so I don’t want to sit up here, but I’m ashamed that that those guys would put their families and their careers in jeopardy. That like there’s old saying in the hood, all money ain’t good money. So, if you’re making $9 million and you’re dealing in certain things, like how how how much how much more do you need? Especially especially if you know you get caught, you can do jail time, lose your career, you know, put put you know, put put a bad image on on yourself or your family. That’s pretty damning from an NBA legend and someone who knows some of those names personally. Well, you know, Rita, it’s really dark because Terry Roier, one of the players that is accused of doing this point shaving scandal. He was getting paid in his NBA salary $350,000 per game. That’s what he’s getting paid per game just for playing in the game. And he was allegedly doing the point shaving scam to make an extra $200,000. So, it doesn’t make sense that you would risk your entire livelihood, just like Shaqs had said, potentially go to jail to make an extra $200,000. And I know times are tough. We all need extra money. But it seems like that he had gotten probably some gambling debt and he might have been repaying debt and that’s why he was forced to do it. So, if that is the case, then maybe he does have, you know, his say in court and he could say that he felt like he was threatening that he had to do this. But, I don’t know. That’ll all come out in the court case. Yeah. Well, this is why if you’re a uh a sporting professional, you’ve got to be very careful who you associate with and uh what gambling debts you rack up because you can put yourself in a very vulnerable position. Now, Alex, I’m going to need you to explain this next clip, which uh features you mocking members of Antifa. See, this guy keeps on trying to bump me every time I walk by. Dude, I’m walking down this I’m standing here. I’m allowed. Let him go sideways. Get out of my All right, Alex, you need to leave. I’m not leaving, guys. You guys, you’re trying to get in my way. I’m here on a public street. Get out of my way. Oh my god, guys. I’m so scared. The Antifa, they brought their play guns, their squirt guns. Oh my god, your arts and crafts time. Did this Did this mess up your arts and craft time? You guys think you’ll be able to go home and play with your art? Why is it so tiny, Alex? These thugs have left journalists seriously injured. I mean, what are you doing there? You only need one of them to act up and it could end in disaster. No, you’re exactly right. And actually, one of the people there was Benjamin Song who ended up getting arrested for shooting an ICE agent. So, that video is, you know, actually a year old. I reposted it. I reposted it because of the Benjamin Song guy. He’s in jail right now. So, no, it’s a serious thing. I can’t mess around and these guys aren’t playing anymore. So, no, that’s a scary video, but you’re still doing it. I’ve saw footage of you just with the no kings protest doing the same thing. I’m I’m going to have to have another word, I think, uh I don’t know, to your girlfriend about how you’re going to stay safe. Yeah, you’re right. You’re right. Uh but the no kings protest, at least I didn’t see any guns. If I would have saw a gun, I would have ran the other way, probably. True. Alex Stein, thank you so much for your

Sky News host Rita Panahi has criticised the modern Democrats’ most unhinged rants.
