All right, so for today's show, I wanted to talk a bit about the Democratic Socialists.

The Democratic Socialists are coming.

They had a big night last night, so I've been thinking about this last night and through today.

There was Democratic primaries in New York City last night.

I believe Zoran Mamdani and...

uh what's his name i'm sorry i'm playing uh hassan piker i saw him putting out some videos uh they they were like seven for seven for further picks including three big uh congressional primaries that mom donnie got behind he won um all of them so this is kind of the big talk of the uh of the political town

that there is this ascendant group within the Democrats.

I colloquially call them the Democratic Socialists.

I think that's what they refer to themselves as.

I think I've heard Mamdani refer to himself as that.

I'm not sure that that's correct, but we'll get into that a little bit.

But

You know, I thought maybe we could just do an episode kind of talking about this group of of people who I do think are ascendant in within the Democratic Party structure, who they are, why I oppose them and why all of the people who oppose them are doing a very bad job of opposing them.

Because there's something there's a lot that's interesting about this.

And part of it is that probably a lot a lot of the people who are, let's say, the most hysterical about what happened last night or the most hysterical about Mom Donnie becoming mayor of New York City.

are a lot of those same people would look to guys like me and go see what type of bedfellows you've made by say, you know, also opposing, you know, Israel's destruction of Gaza or the war in Iran or something like that.

So that's one aspect that's interesting.

We'll kind of get to that.
