your support. So yesterday I did intend to talk about
the New York City victory of the Socialist, but we
didn't get to it because we were wallowing in our
mourning of the city of Charlotte and the election results
we had here. So today we shall mourn the loss
of the capital of capitalism, New York City with the
election of the Gihati adjacent socialist, but totally not of
Comi Zoron Mamdani Mamdanni, the Kami mom Kami. Anyway, we've
got some of the exit polling. We see some of
the data now about how he actually won, namely timing.
He is a very uh lucky candidate. That is not
to take away from his perpetual smile, his handsome, good
looks his TikTok video capabilities, his man of the people
scooping of rice into his face with his hands, because
he's a man of the Peo police from the Third world.
You see, that's how he that's how his people eat.
They his people being third world people that he is
totally one of. Despite the fact that, uh, you know,
he grew up in privilege, went to very expensive schools,
never had a real job in his life, never had
to work. Mommy and daddy are very wealthy and they
have supported him. So a true you know, like a
stereotypical socialist. Also apparently he ate what was it a
burrito with a knife and fork, as people in the
third world do, obviously, right, that's the thing. Is like
from his ancestral homeland of Uganda, that's how they eat.
They take a knife and a fork and they eat
the burrito. But when it comes to rice, well they
just scoop it up with their hands and shovel it
down their throat. That's obviously the preferred way to eat
or something, isn't it? Burrito specifically designed to be eaten
with your hands, so you don't need any utensils to
eat a burrito. I might be overthinking this a little bit,
but anyway, he lucked out. He lucked out in the
timing because you end up in a race with the
abomination that is ranked choice voting instituted now in New
York City in the primary. That's how you get a
radical candidate like him that gets through. And you have
somebody that is as loathsome as Andrew Cuomo, also a
NEPO baby, right, son of Mario Cuomo, brother of Chris
Mario Cuomo. As Curtis Leewood dubbed him killing granny's and
slapping fans. Right. The guy was run out of office
in scandal. And this is who the Democrat quote unquote
establishment thought would be the guy to take down Mom
Donnie or the guy to win the mayor's race against
Eric Adams, also not a great mayor, right. That's part
of the reason why you had all of these people
challenging Eric Adams. He you know, was criminally indicted. It
was dropped by the Trump administration. But scandal like that,
and you know Eric Adams had not done himself any favors.
And then anyway, so you have a terrible mayor candidate
gets indicted, then you've got the primary, and you've got
the rank choice voting, and you've got Andrew Cuomo as
some sort of you know, self anointed savior. So Mom
Donnie definitely benefited from the circumstances. And again that's not
to take a way from his man of the people
campaigned stick right, because he did knock on doors. He
had he got the entire New York City Democratic Socialists
of America, the DSA had all of them backing him
because he had been part of the DSA for years.
But per the NBC exit polls, he lost people. So
when people showed up to vote, what they were asked like,
what are their big issues? And Mom Donnie lost immigration
voters by twenty six points. Okay, if that was your
top issue, you were not voting for Mom Donnie. If
crime was your number one issue, he lost those by
forty one points, Which is weird because like I would
have thought a campaign message of, you know, defunding the police,
but I totally don't believe that anymore because I just
changed my mind like five minutes ago. Also, I want
to disband certain police units. Oh and I want to
close down Rikers Island Prison for some reason. People who
you know were concerned about crime in New York City.
They were not comfortable with those campaign messages. But here's
the thing. The issue that he won on was cost
of living, right. That was the big thing. You probably
heard everybody talking about affordability, right, And his answer on
affordability is, well, I'm going to give it to you
for free, and don't worry how it's going to get
paid for. We're going to tax a bunch of rich
people who are totally not going to move away. For
reasons unknown to me at this point if he's even
allowed to do it, because he would need state approval
to do that, and the state lawmakers have not expressed
any interest in doing so. Now maybe they do. Maybe
they eventually cave. They see the way the wind is
blowing and they're like, okay, you know what, We're gonna
go ahead, and you know, give New York City communism
good and hard like they're asking for. So the people
who voted on cost of living, you know, free stuff,
give me more free stuff. He won those voters by
thirty six points, and that was the largest group they represented,
fifty five percent of those who turned out to vote.
People answered cost of living was what brought them out
to vote. They made up more than half of the
people voting. So Mom, Donnie has been playing this game
where he pretends he didn't say the things he said,
or says you're misinterpreting the things he said. The globalize
the Intifada, he chanted and tweeted and led protests for
and all this, but somehow another no, no, no, it
just means something else. It was just more of like
a global opposition to what's happening in Palestine. No, it
doesn't mean the thing that it has always meant, And
any honest observer of the situation knows the meaning of
the term globalized the ante fada, which is why it
is so offensive, because it's literally calling for people's murder,
namely Jews murdering Jewish people, which, in case you're not aware,
New York City has the highest population of Jewish people
outside of Israel. I'm not sure everybody knows this, but
New York City has a lot of Jewish people. Okay,
millions a couple it's like one and a half million,
I want to say, it's something like that. There are
a lot of Jewish people. I don't know if they
all own bagel shops, I'm just kidding, but they have
great bagels. I can say that because, like I grew
up in New York and we ate a lot of bagels,
so we love the bagels. You've got him trying to
pretend that he didn't say the things that he has said,
or that somehow it's misinterpreted, or that the DSA platform
is not his platform, and so things that they say
aren't really things that he believes. Yet he doesn't really
ever say what things he disagrees with the DSA on. Also,
he's not a communist, even though he calls all of
these communists comrades in all of his posts and speeches
prior to his run for mayor. It's almost as if
he is lying. I know, almost. But the thing to
remember is that rule number one of communists they lie,
commis lie. They promise you free stuff, and then they
enslave you. That's kind of the trajectory, you know. Stories
are powerful. They help us make sense of things, to
understand experiences. Stories connect us to the people of our
past while transcending generations. They help us process the meaning
of life, and our stories are told through images and videos.

from the text line driven by Liberty Buick. GMC John says, mom,
Donnie probably cuts the crust off of his Peb and Jay. Also,
oh no, he actually yeah, he probably has the crust
cut off. He probably doesn't cut it off himself. He
probably has his mom or his his family's chef or
something to do that for him, Pete, I sense a
little sarcasm in your voice. Really well, I am fluent
in sarcasm, so that does track. Michael says eating a
burrito with a knife and fork is just as big
a sin as eating fried chicken with a knife and fork.
All right, well, now see, I don't know about that.
If you're in like a fancy restaurant and they do
it all frufruey, you know, and they got like some
sort of like glaze on it or something, or they
put some sort of a sauce on it, you know.
But yeah, generally speaking guests. But then again, they elected
some guy mayor I think it was Deblasio who ate
pizza with a knife and fork Like that should have
been disqualifying. That's what I knew New York was done.
One of the musically inspiring things about communism is the
dramatic old national anthem from the People's Republic singing about
the unity we achieved because of our great leader who
led us to freedom Mamdani's party and will cry if
they let you. It is an underappreciated thing. The uh,
the great communist odes yes. So moments after being declared
the winner of the New York City mayoral race Democrats.
Socialist Zoram Mamdani opened his victory speech with a nod
to one of the most infamous radicals in American history.
Mamdani thirty four years old. I never had a real job,
quoted Eugene Debs, a far left activist from the early
twentieth century who was stripped of his American citizenship after
being convicted of sedition in nineteen eighteen. Like Debs, Mam
Donnie has embraced radical policies, including broad promises to provide
a range of free services to New Yorkers. He said,
quote I can see actually says, I can't see the
dawn of a better day for humanity. Mamdannie quoted Debs
as saying, yeah, he was a little screamy during his
victory speech. I don't know if you caught any of
the sound bites, but yeah, he got a little shouty,
as communists tend to do once they secure power. Anyway,
Debs actually supported the Communist revolution in Russia in nineteen seventeen.
Deeply influenced by Karl Marx, Debs had his citizenship restored,
actually by a joint resolution of Congress in the nineteen seventies,
he ran for president five times. I believe the trivia
on him that's taught in all of the the K
twelve lesson plans. I mean nothing about him being a
radical COMI, but that he ran for president from prison, right,
wasn't that one of his claims to fame, the thing
that all the kids learn that you can run for
president even when you're in prison. So he ran five
times between nineteen hundred and nineteen twenty. And he described
capitalism as a quote monstrous system, and said that his
social and said his Socialist party was defined by a
militant spirit and revolutionary goals. This is a piece over
at the Daily Wire by laife Lemaheue. And then Mamdani
said one of the most terrifying sentences I've heard from
an elected official, although to be fair, he has not
been sworn in yet, but he did win the election.
Here's what he said, quote, we will prove that there
is no problem too large for government to solve, and
no concern too small for it to care about, No
problem too large for gov CO and no concern too
small for GOVC to care about. That should terrify the
residents and business owners of New York City, no concern
too small for him and his agents to care about. Like,
I think I'm just gonna I don't think I can
drive back to see the family on Long Island because
I got to go through New York and I don't
think I can do that. I'm like, I'd be terrified
driving through the city. I mean, what happens if I
break down? And then that's like it's a big concern
for me, but it might be a small concern for
zoron Mamdani and then he and his commie pals they
pay me a visit on the side of the road.
That's probably not going to end well. So direct flights
to just yeah, take direct flights out to the island.
Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to
a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina.

So from the WBT text line from TK Pete, I
always enjoy your show. I'm an independent voter. It seems
that anytime a liberal or Democrat bends the truth, you
find a way to spend hours on it. You never
seem to comment on the world. Oh I think he
meant say world's biggest liar Donald J. Trump. Okay, so
just a couple of points to make. T K. Anytime
a liberal or Democrat bends the truth, I knowe you
did not say lie. It's just simply bending the truth, right,
And it's also not any time if I were to
spend hours as you claim, which is another kind of
problem with the assertion, I don't spend hours on any
time a liberal or Democrat bends the truth or lies.
You have no problem calling Donald Trump the world's biggest liar,
but when it comes to a liberal or Democrat, it's
simply bending the truth. I guess. But no, I don't
spend hours on every single liberal and Democrat who bends
the truth. That's silly. I actually use them as examples
to highlight double standards in that the fact that everybody
knows that Donald Trump bends the truth, that Donald Trump
says things that are just like unsupported, and all of
the fact checking industry that has grown up simply to
monitor every utterance and tweet of the man. Yet when
people use wise about him or about Republicans and such.
There's never this kind of fact checking effort, so that's
what I provide. Also, I know I wasn't on the
air here when Donald Trump ran for office in twenty fifteen.
I was up in Asheville. But yeah, I covered all
of that. That's like ten years ago, made the case,
laid it all out. You know, the lies that he
told on all sorts of stuff, and people don't care.
And just like you don't care about the lies that
Democrats tell, people didn't mind. So that's why I use
the lies in order to highlight of the larger issues.
And in fact, if you stay tuned in the third hour,
I intend to get to the Supreme Court oral arguments
from yesterday regarding the tariffs, where the administration lawyer was
making a case that I think is completely unsupported by law.
So you'll get your fix if that's what you are
demanding of me. This person just says, Pete, you are
the best. Thank you. I appreciate that. The Hellia says
Trump is a bs er, and I mean that in
a nice way. He will quote lie about a golf game,
but you can't take him literally. But seriously, yeah, I look,
I rejected that hole. You got to take him seriously,
not literally, like I rejected that whole argument as well.
And here's the thing. What you've just engaged in TK
is what about ism? Like I'm focusing the attention. This
is why I build the show. The way I build
the show is I focus on a particular topic in
each hour, and so I focus on this topic. And
this topic is the Jihati adjacent socialist but totally not
a Kami mayor elect of New York City, the financial
capital of planet Earth, or as Hassan Piker, that Kami
Stalin lover USSR lover twitch streamer who was at mom
Donnie's party. He also shocks his dog with a shock
collar when it moves off of its bed during his
live streams. That's how he keeps it still for eight
hours at a time. No, I forgot what I was
forgot what I was saying. Dang it, mm I went
down that rabbit hole and uh oh, the take him
literally but seriously In your your response to me pointing
out that mom Donnie is this type of candidate and
how he will govern and the things that he has said,
your response is, well, what about Donald Trump? Why does
that make mum Donnie not a liar. It's possible to
accept that they are both liars. You can believe that
you can make that assessment. I am not required to
any time I point out a lie by somebody to
say well, and also remember these other people in this
long list of lied to. So I hope that sufficiently
addresses your text TK Andy claims he was the eighth caller,
but nobody answered. How would you even prove that, Andy, Well,
you'll have another chance to uh not have your call
answered next hour, Andy, to win those tickets, all right.
So this is from Jerry Dunlevy at Justthnews dot com,
who made his way into a DSA zoom call. The
Democrat Socialists of America held a zoom meeting the New
York City branch that'soron Mamdani belongs to, and they helped
him win the Democrat primary back in June and the
mayor's race on Tuesday. But Mam Donnie has sought to
distance himself from the DSA's socialist and revolutionary platform during
the mayor's race, something according to Politico that the New
York City branch of the socialist group gave him public
cover to do Okay, so they said, you can lie.
You can lie about your proximity to these ideas and
your support of our platform planks, you can totally distance yourself.
You got to do that to win. We totally understand,
wink wink, We know where your loyalties lie. Right. So,
Just the News obtained an internal planning document from the
dssay's Anti War Working Group, the AWWG, or as I
call it, the OGG, which shows the group has spent
weeks plotting how to pressure the new Mamdani administration to
carry out their socialist quote unquote demands, including demands to
push an anti Israel agenda at New York City Hall.
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.
Just thenews dot com piece by Jerry Dunlevy. He got
documents from the New York City Democratic Socialists of America.
He obtained it. It's called the Palestine Policy Meeting Agenda
and Notes, and it contains the internal plans of the
DSA working group. The document was obtained when he used
his real name to RSVP to the meeting, which was
listed as open to the public, and so then they
sent him a link and he joined and he got
the document, which has since been scrubbed. They have taken
the document down. The link no longer works. Mamdani is
a member of the DSA, but he denies he is
a Communist. The apparent anti Israel demands for a Mamdani
administration from the DSA working Group include Divest City pension
funds from Israeli bonds and securities. With Draw City funds
from banks that lend money to Israel or do business
in Israel. End City contracts with companies that do business
with it. Operate city run grocery stores free from Israeli products.
Investigate real estate agents hosting illegal sales of stolen lands
in the West Bank. Evict weapons manufacturers and transporters from
the New York City metro area. That's not about the Jews,
that's just any weapons manufacturer and transporter. Okay, Divest City,
University of New York Endowment and reinstate wrongly fired professors.
They were not wrongly fired. These are the ones that
were celebrating October seventh, led the student protests and revolt
and the tent to Fada and all that stuff. Oh
remember that guy that was that was deported to El
Salvador Khalid Mackmood or Mackmood Khalid. Remember that guy leader
of the student protest even though he wasn't a student,
and he and they picked him up and they sent
him to El Salvador and they're like bring him back,
bring him back, And then they went to court and
they had to bring him back. He was at Mamdani's
victory party with Hassan Piker and Mehdi Hassan and Jamal Bowman,
the fire marshal guy, the one that pulled the fire
alarm to stop the voting from occurring in Congress and
then he lost his seat. Democrat Socialist of America like that, Yeah,
and they were all together in some video clip just
like giddy super masculine vibes. Anyway, end repression of demonstrators
and the SRG that is the New York Police Department's
Strategic Response Group, the SRG, which has been used to
break up the protests, these violent protests that have locked
people in their buildings and such. But they see that
as repression of demonstrators. When you don't allow us to
break stuff and harass and intimidate Jews in broad daylight,
you are repressing us. Removed nonprofit status from cherry that
raise funds for the IDF and end training that the
NYPD does with the IOF. They call it there it's
a derogatory term. Instead of the Israeli Defense Forces. They
call it the Israeli offense or sorry, occupation. The Israeli
Occupation Forces is what they called the oh and also
arrest the Prime Minister of Israel and any active IDF
soldiers for war crimes. Yeah, the UN is in New
York City, So you're basically banning Jews, which, oh, you
know what, I just thought of an idea that he
could implement when when telling the Jews to get out
and stay out. You know what you could do is
like maybe give them like a gold Star of David
and they would have to like walk around with that
pin to their lapel, so we could all identify them
so easily. What do you think Just send that along
to Mamdanni, He's probably already on it. Actually. Ideas included
track active appointments and to pressure Mom Donnie to staff
people whose values are aligned, so they're going to get
as many of these radicals into the administration as possible.
As a very lengthy piece, I'm just giving you a
couple of the highlights. He has repeatedly tweeted about the
need to defund the police, and he has tried to
back away from that position after he won the primary,
but he's been tweeting it as recently as twenty twenty one,
and he also called to dissolve the nypds SRG as
recently as December, so I don't think he's actually moved
off of those positions. He also told former MSNBC host
medi Asan in December, as mayor, New York City would
arrest Benjamin Ntonyah, who the DSA tweeted in late October.
We believe in our power as workers to control the
means of production and outnumber the capitalist class. Donnie told
reporters in August, my platform is not the same as
national DSA national. When asked if he wanted to eliminate
misdemeanor criminal offenses, he said, no, you can't find that
on my platform because it's not there. Yeah, Donnie told
Meet the Press, no, I'm not a communist. However, when
you read all of his tweets and speeches, he does
have a strong affinity for traditional Stalin esque communism. He
praised and campaigned with a Marxist States senator in New
York declared New York City needs a mayor, just like
the Indian mayor, who's an explicit Marxist and commed party member.
He praised the Russian Revolution, which led to the establishment
of the USSR, and wants to seize the means of production.
That's a literal quote in a reference to core Marxist principles,
so totally not a commy. All right, that'll do it
for this episode. Thank you so much for listening. I
