day or two that thought you would be interested to
know the results. First down in Argentina, the libertarian president
Javier Melay won decisive victories in key districts in midterm elections,
clinching a crucial vote of confidence that strengthens his ability
to carry out his radical free market experiment. Is this
is NBC News. I should have Yeah, I should have
given you the heads up on that one, NBC News
calling it a radical free market experiment with billions of
dollars in backing from the Trump administration. By the way,
this is changing the course of Argentinian governance and its economy,
which has been led by leftists for decades. Peronists that
have been in charge, so I guess in that regard
it might be radical, as in a radical departure of leftism.
Malai's governing party, called La Libertad Sorry La Libertad Avanza,
won over forty percent of the votes in the national
elections to renew almost half of the lower House of Congress,
according to tallies in local media using numbers from electoral authority,
with more than ninety seven percent of the votes counted,
La Libertad Avanza also swept six of the eight provinces
in the vote to renew one third of the Senate.
The figures exceeded analyst projections. This vote occurred yesterday. In comparison,
the results showed the left leaning populist opposition movement known
as Parnism, which sounds like a medical condition, they won
over thirty one percent of the vote, what analysts described
as the alliance's poorest performance in years. Malaise Sorry. Malay
said that his party went from holding just thirty seven
seats in the lower House of Congress thirty seven now
will go to one hundred and one. In the Senate,
he said they picked up fourteen more seats. They now
have twenty senators. These strong showing ensures that Malay will
have enough support in the Congress to uphold presidential VTA,
prevent an impeachment effort, and see through his ambitious plans
for tax and labor reforms in the coming months. And
here is the most NBC line in the NBC story.
Beaming as his supporters cheered, he seized on the results.
He did not pounce on them. He merely seized on
the results as evidence that Argentina had turned the page
on decades of parrhanism that brought the country infamy for
repeatedly defaulting on its sovereign debt. Right, because that's what
happens with socialism, is you eventually run out of other
people's money, and so they kept defaulting on the debt.
They're cheering that inflation is thirty two percent. That's how
bad Argentina was before Malay went in there with his
trademark chainsaw right and started cutting all of the programs
and all of the bureaucratic bloat and all of the
spending and such. They had two hundred eighty nine percent
inflation annually, two hundred eighty nine percent. It is now
down to just thirty two percent. So yes, Argentinians are
still struggling. Things are still getting more expensive, but he
is slowing the rate by a lot. So there's some
good news for freedom loving people. Now the bad news.
The independent socialist Catherine Connolly swept to a landslide victory
on Saturday to become Ireland's next president, dealing a record
breaking rebuke to the two center ground parties of government.
Center ground meaning just center. They're in this supposedly in
the center. She's sixty eight years old, she's a lawmaker
from Galway in the West. In her victory speech, she
struck an immediate note by the way, this is politico,
she struck an immediate note of unity. She stood side
by side with Ireland's government leaders and pledged to stick
it to the far right. In a sign of unity,
she pledged to challenge the far right and its anti
immigrant agenda. Quote. Together, we can shape a new republic
that doesn't have Irish people in it. I'm just kidding.
I put that last part in there. That values everybody,
a new republic that values everybody, see, because that would
be different or something that values in champions. Here we go.
Diversity and the new people that have come to our
country I will be an inclusive present for all of you.
And in a special message to foreign assilees, if you
would like to conquer us for Islam, come on in.
Ireland is open to you. We will give you this
former bastion of Catholicism. I added that well most of
the last part there, like well all of it. She
won a record sixty three point four percent of valid votes.
Heather Humphries of the Government Coalition Party finished a distant
second with just under thirty percent. Her triumph shattered the
previous record set in nineteen fifty nine, when Emmon dev Valera,
the towering figure of twentieth century Irish politics, won his
first term as president with fifty six percent. She won
sixty three percent. She will succeed her fellow Galway socialist
Michael Higgins, the President of Ireland since twenty eleven. He
is constitutionally barred from seeking another seven year term. She
won because she was backed by Ireland's five leftist parties,
most crucially Shin Fine Shin Fame Sorry, all stood aside
to give her a clean run on end quote anti
government platform. Think about that, a socialist running on an
anti government platform where she would take over as president
from the guy who is also a socialist of her
same party. Yeah, that's yeah. So you're running against your
fellow socialist and you're running on an anti government platform. Again,
this is politico, so they don't really clear that up
for you. Ireland's disgruntled conservatives left their own mark on
the election by vandalizing their their own ballots in unprecedented numbers.
So this was a form of protest. More than two
hundred thousand ballots, or about one out of every eight,
had to be thrown away because they had written in
the names of candidates that were not on the ballot,
or they drew an X across the entire ballot. Some
others defaced their ballots with anti immigrant messages expressed in
nativist or racist terms. This alienation reflects how the government
parties since the nineteen nineties have largely ditched their previous
bonds with the Catholic conservatism and have become like Connolly
and the wider left, socially progressive and welcoming to immigrants.
They are doing to Ireland what has been done in France,
what is being done in Britain. Right. They are welcoming
in all assiles and because of geography. Most of those
people coming are from North Africa and from Asia, and
they are overwhelmingly Muslim. That's what's happening now in Ireland.
It's happening in Britain, It's happening in France. You know
where it's not happening Poland, Hungary. Some of these countries
that lived under Soviet control, they recognize tyranny when they
see it and they actually don't allow any of these
people into their country. On Tuesday and Wednesday, crowds of
up to two thousand people classed with riot police protecting
City West, which is a hotel and conference center in
or southwest of Dublin that has been turned into the
state's biggest shelter for asylum seekers. That area registered one
of the highest rates of spoiled ballots. So that's what
happened in Ireland over the weekend. New York City be next.

Norm MacDonald candidate Why is Zorhan ma'am Danny? The Norm
MacDonald candidate Well years ago, actually, in twenty sixteen, the
late great Norm MacDonald, comedian extraordinaire, posted onto the Twitter
machine quote what terrifies me is if Isis were to
detonate a nuclear device and kill fifty million Americans. Imagine
the backlash against peaceful Muslims, and that is where we are.
You don't believe me, here we go. Here is Zoron
as what I heard Michael Rappaport, the actor say, Vince
Cochley played this clip. I'm not going to play it again,
but he called He apparently Michael Rappaport is calling Zoron
Mamdani Zoron the moron, which I like. It's a pretty
good it's catchy, it rhymes. It's very effective in that
kind of branding. So Zorin Mamdani Nepo, baby Jihati adjacent communist.
He he busted out the Islamophobia card, and you knew
this was coming right. A kami steeped in communism understands
how this game is played. This is the victimhood mentality
and the oppressor versus oppressed, and he's got to position
himself as the oppressed. That's how you gain the power
in a culture such as ours. That elevates the quote oppressed.
So everybody is scrambling to be the most oppressed. And
so Islamophobia, which by the way, I would submit, is
not actually a thing. It's not people like it's not
an irrational fear of Islam as an ideology. It's not irrational.
People can have a fear of it. It is not
an irrational fear, though, And to support that position, I
would point you to fifteen hundred years of history. Okay,
when Islam becomes the majority or close to the majority,
they behave in a way that if you're not Muslim,
is suboptimal for you. Anyway. This is his press conference
that Mamdani held the other day. He will reiterate this
in a canned video that he recorded, but here was
the initial comment. Again, this is at a press conference
outside someplace I don't know, surrounded by people I don't
know who, and he tried to manu facture some tears,
but I think sociopaths aren't able to do that really,
so they never really the waterworks never flowed, but he did.
He did exhibit some choked upidness. If you will, here's
from the press conference.
Speaker 2: I want to use this moment to speak to the
Muslims of New York City. I want to speak to
the memory of my aunt who stopped taking the subway
after September eleventh because she did not feel safe in
her Hadjab.
Speaker 1: By the way, no mention at all of the thousands
of people murdered by the gihattists on nine to eleven.
In that address, which I think it was, Scott Jennings
on CNN was exactly right when he said, if you
are running for any position in New York City, particularly
the mayor of New York City, and you are going
to invoke nine to eleven for something, for anything, if
you are going to say something about nine to eleven
in New York City, of all the cities around the world,
you should take a moment and mention the victims, the
actual victims of nine to eleven. The actual victims of
nine to eleven do not include your aunt, who, according
to her LinkedIn bio, was actually working in Tanzania at
the time and not in New York. So I'm not
even sure this story is real. She was a leftist
NGO leader who apparently, according to the people who have
done the deep dives now into his aunt, she actually
doesn't ever wear the he job or was she in
New York City after nine to eleven. So it seems
like he just made that up. But that doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter to the leftists. It doesn't matter to
the Islamists that are backing Mom Donnie's campaign. It doesn't matter.
To the media, None of that matters. They don't care
if he's lying about this stuff. By the way, the
New York Times they actually they did a glowing story
on him. Vanity Fair cranked one out as well, because
they can't help themselves from falling in love with these
leftists and is Lomists. This is the Red Green alliance.
And you just look at history, these two groups, these
two ideologies, they pair up often, okay, And people don't
understand this because it's like, well, wait a minute, you're
a lefty, why would you be you know, why would
you be partnering up with Jihattists or Islamists when they're
gonna like oppose you on all this stuff. See again, remember,
the issue is never the issue. The issue is always
the revolution. The revolution is aimed at tearing down Western civilization.
That's the point. And so both of those ideologies seek
to do the same thing, which is to tear down
Western civilization. Now they both want to be in charge
of whatever emerges from the ruins, which will basically just
be tyranny of a different kind. One would be Islamist
and one would be communist. But that's the point. But
history also shows that once they do tear down the
existing infrastructure, usually it's the Islamists that go around and
murder all of the leftists. By way of example, Iran,
all the lefties that were like, yay, the overthrow of
the Shaw, now is our moment, and then they were
all like murdered. Here's a great idea. How about making
an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in
western North Carolina. Just a quick drive up the mountain
and Cabins of Asheville is your connection. Whether you're celebrating
an anniversary, a honeymoon, maybe you want to plan a
memorable proposal, or get family and friends together for a
big old reunion. Cabins of Asheville has the ideal spot
for you where you can reconnect with your loved ones

ideal spot for you for any occasion, and they have
pet friendly accommodations. Call or text eight two eight three
six seven seventy sixty eight or check out all there
is to offer at cabins Offashville dot com and make
memory that'll last a lifetime. Peter Savodnik, a writer at
the Free Press, just because I know what I said
earlier about Islamophobia. Right, maybe a little controversial, but I
am of the mind as Peter Sevodnik is as well.
Islamophobia is a canard, and it's designed to stifle debate
about the impact that Islam has had on the West
and Christendom. And I make that I can defend that position.
Just look at the total territory colonized and conquered by
the oppressors. It's like seventy percent of Christendom completely wiped
out four of the five Holy Sees conquered, right, So
I mean, if we're going to play this land acknowledgment game,
if we're going to play this oppressed oppressor game, then
Islam loses because they are the conquering force, one of
the greatest conquering forces in world history. So that's that's
where I come down that Zorin Mamdani apparently ran for
student vice president while he was attending the uber elite
Bronx High School of Science, despite the fact that he
ate a bunch of rice on video with his hands,
which is gross and it's something that people do in
third world countries because they don't have utensils. But he
does have utensils. He's probably got very fancy and expensive
utensils because he's very wealthy, as all of these commies
on the Upper West Side tend to be. He he
ran for student vice president. And when I read this
in the New York Times, I just laughed because this
is almost verbatim my parody that I make of these
these leftist politicians and candidates that promise all sorts of
stupid things because they think you're stupid or they are
and my joke is always it's like the it's like
the kid running for student president who promises chocolate milk
and all the water fountains. Right, it's a stupid idea,
but the kiddies love their chocolate milk, and so if
I run on a platform of putting chocolate milk in
all the water fountains, it doesn't matter that I'm never
going to be able to deliver on the promise. It's
just the promise that makes the kids swoon. Right, So
Zornmamdani ran for student vice president at his high school
with a pledge, a campaign promise of fresh juice for all,
squeezed from locally sourced fruits. Yes, the world famous fruit
farms of the Bronx, don't you know. Yes, there is
a massive fruit growing operation and industry in the Bronx.
No there's not. Okay, there is not locally sourced fruit,
fresh or fresh squeezed every day for the kids at
the elite Bronx High School of Science. I can't. So
that was his That's that's the kind of person this guy's.
I know that was a long time ago, pete, Yes,
but he's still promising the same sort of crap although
I would point out he did not win that election.
So even even the students high school kids could see
through the bs, New York City voters not so much.
This is from David Strom at hotier dot com. As
we enter the final stretch of the New York City
mayoral race, the gloves are coming off. Not that it's
likely to matter at this point, but Zoron Mamdani is
taking flak for cozying up to his lobists, including an
Emam who who was tied to the nineteen ninety three
World Trade Center bombing, as well as his friendship with
Hassan Piker. He is the number one twitch streamer who
just got into a bunch of trouble for putting a
shock collar on his dog and then shocking the dog
if it attempted to move off of a little bed
that he had set up in the background. So this
way the dog is a permanent fixture of his live streams.
You know. Put the dog in the back corner there
so everybody can see the dog, but the dog never leaves.
Even though Hassan Piker is streaming for like eight hours
a day every day and he makes his dog sit
there for seven to eight hours a day and then
he shocks the thing if it tries to get off
of its bed. And this was on the live stream.
Oh and by the way, Hassan Piker, because like that's
what everybody's outraged about. They want him, you know, to
be punished by Twitch and the streaming platform and all this,
which they have not done. That's the thing that got
people mad. Even though Hassan Piker routinely calls for the
murder of Americans that he doesn't like and has said
that America deserved nine to eleven. Yeah. He also, by
the way, Zorn Mumdani, also chanting globalized the Intifada, could
not refusee or just flat out refuse to say whether
Hamas should disarm as part of the ceasefire, which Hamas
is not going to do. They've now said that. So Yeah,
when he was asked by Martha mca calum on Fox
News about whether Hamas should disarm, he said, oh, I
don't really pay attention to all that, which is an
absolute load of garbage because he has commented on Palestine
and Israel for a decade. He has marched free, free Palestine,
globalized the Intifada. He like it's very clear he has
opinions about these things. He just doesn't want to say
it because he doesn't want the negative media attention that
would come when he says hamashould not disarm. Nobody with
Mamdani's comfort level with terrorism should be in power anywhere.
But in a sane world, you would put New York
City at the top of the list of places where
praising nine to eleven in particular and islamis terrorism in
general would probably be disqualifying. But twenty five years after
nine to eleven, I guess not. We live in an
age of critical race theory, where intersectional identity politics has
created and oppression Olympics, where status and power are distributed
based on how much victimhood one can claim. Victimhood is
currency now, which means the psychos utilize it and weaponize it.
All Right, if you're listening to this show, you know
I try to keep up with all sorts of current events,
and I know you do too, And you've probably heard
me say get your news from multiple sources. Why, well,
because it's how you detect media bias, which is why
I've been so impressed with ground News. It's an app
and it's a website. And it combines news from around
the world in one place so you can compare coverage
and verify information. You can check it out at check
dot ground, dot news slash pete. I put the link
in the podcast description too. I started using ground News
a few months ago and more recently chose to work
with them as an affiliate because it lets me see
clearly how stories get covered and by whom. The blind
spot feature shows you which stories get ignored by the
left and the right. See for yourself check dot ground,

then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports
ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent.
I did get a link to this from Jason, but
I've seen it also. Last night there was a big
rally that was held for zoron the Moron, as my
Rapperport calls him, zoron mamdannae moum donny. I don't know
why I say that. It's just it's fun to say, Mom, Donnie,
mo'm donnie und donne. It's actually a callback to that
old I think it was like an American Express commercial
with John Lovetts and him and his buddy got tickets
to go to Miami to the Super Bowl, and they
kept doing Miami, Miami, Miami. They kept saying that, That's what.
I don't know why I'm reminded of that, except for
the fact that like half of New York City's population
is probably gonna move to Miami this but we shall
see so. At the rally last night in Queens, New York,
Kathy Huckle, the governor who you'll recall, endorsed Zorn Mumdani
a couple of weeks back, and then Mamdanni did not
endorse her. She was out on stage at this massive
rally in a stadium filled with Commis and uh well
and Islamis, and they were out there chanting tax the rich,
and they like almost like booed her off the stage
to the point where he had to come out and
rescue her, or like he was slated to come out later.
He came out to stand with her, you know, raise
her hand up, get the crowd excited for him, and
then she wraps up her speech and then he walks
her off the stage. And as people start booing her,
he then like waves at them, and then the crowd
starts cheering again and it drowns out the booze. And
by the way, I think the guy is disqualified merely
for the way he waved at the crowd if you
haven't seen the video. No, he didn't do like a
Hyle Hitler thing, although that would be on brand. But no,
he did a child you know, like when you're you know,
like when the baby is learning to wave at people.
And it's not like a wave, it's an opening and
a closing of the hand, you know, it's like a
snapping kind of a open close, open clothes. That's what
he did. That's how he waves at the crowd. And no,
it's not it wasn't just like he did it once
or twice. That's the only way he waved. That's how
he waves, is open and closing, like he's waving to children,
which being commies, they kind of are. I mean, that's yeah.
So what did Kathy Hochl say about the the chant
of tax the rich, tax the rich. I thought they
were saying, let's go bills. I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I wasn't sure.
Speaker 1: When you're up there I heard some noise, I heard
a lot of cheers.
Speaker 2: But later on it became clear to me that there
is a I know this passion for that.
Speaker 1: She thought they were chanting let's go Bills because we
all know Queens, New York is a hotbed of Buffalo
Bills fans. Yes, that makes total sense. This is another
let's Go Brandon moment. That's what this is. And for
people who don't know the origin story of Let's Go Brandon,
there was a chant that erupted during a live interview
at a NASCAR race I believe this was circa twenty
twenty and the NASCAR fans. It was during a live
stand up interview that the NASCAR reporter was doing with
a race car drive named Brandon something or other, and
people that were the crowd that was around the interview
started chanting, bleep Joe Biden. And she then says, oh,
they really love you here. I think they're chanting let's
go Brandon. They were decidedly not saying let's go Brandon.
They were saying bleep Joe Biden, and so Let's go
Brandon became a mockery not just of Brandon or Biden
rather but a mockery of the media. And here's another
form of it is I thought they were saying, let's
go bills. Why would they be chanting let's go bills
in Queens. They're Giants fans, or maybe if they have no,
you know, self esteem, they're Jets fans. But they're not
bills fans in Queens. There may be a couple, there's
most definitely not an entire stadium filled of people chanting
let's go bills. Oh the lies we tell ourselves. Back
to David Strom's piece at hotier dot com talking about
the oppression Olympics, where status and power are distributed based
on how much victimhood one can claim. This ties into
something I've been talking about for gosh, I don't know,
five or six years now. It's this tendency for interpersonal victimhood.
It's a mindset. It's a way that people see themselves.
And this has always been something that psychologists and psychiatrists
have tried to break people of when it manifested after
some form of physical assault or something right where they
have been victimized, and then they start seeing themselves only
as a victim. It becomes sort of a dominant view
of their self worth and their character and who they are.
As the late Dan Starks always used to advise, don't
be a victim, right, you cannot go through life, or
I should say, you should not go through life viewing
yourself as a victim, because there are some really nasty
and negative things that accompany that ways of thinking, ways
of behaving. But this has now been sort of, you know,
mainlined into the body politics bloodstream, and people get currency
when they can claim victimhood and as strom rights. Muslims
have managed to acquire a lot of victim points for
some reason, despite being an especially coddled class of people,
of colonizers, of supremacists. That's what they are, like, that's
the whole ideology, is it? Like we spread it by
the sword. And that explains why, you know, people who
are like, oh, the Crusades, as if the Christians only like,
like they started that war, and I'm talking about the
First Crusades specifically, as if they were not battling anybody else, Right,
it's just everybody converted to Islam. Yeah, that's how that happened. No,
that's not how that happened. People were forced to convert
or die, and then people who would make pilgrimages to
the Holy Lands were raped and murdered. That's what happened,
and that's what prompted the crusade. The just war theory
Mamdannie is straight out of intersectional central casting. If only
he were transgender, he would have hit the power ball
of the pressure. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
