Podcasts about democratic socialists

Last week, Zohran Mamdani shattered the notion that a New York City mayor has to be some craggy-faced, man-shaped stack of disappointments who'd sooner die than be seen on the subway. The young, energetic Democratic Socialist ran on a platform of making New York City a more livable place for average residents, which—surprise!—went over well with average residents. Listening to constituents and trying to improve their lives doesn't seem like a controversial stance, so why is it that the Democratic establishment seems almost as afraid of Mamdani as the Republicans? This week, Adam sits with Defector journalist and longtime NYC resident David Roth to talk about what it might mean for NYC to have a mayor who actually understands what NYC is, and what that might mean for the future of the left.SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/adamconoverSEE ADAM ON TOUR: https://www.adamconover.net/tourdates/SUBSCRIBE to and RATE Factually! on:» Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/factually-with-adam-conover/id1463460577» Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0fK8WJw4ffMc2NWydBlDyJAbout Headgum: Headgum is an LA & NY-based podcast network creating premium podcasts with the funniest, most engaging voices in comedy to achieve one goal: Making our audience and ourselves laugh.

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke covers the stunning outcome of New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, where State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani—a self-described Democratic Socialist—defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in a landslide. The news sent shockwaves through NYC's real estate and financial sectors, with shares of major property owners like SL Green and Vornado Realty Trust taking a hit. Mamdani's bold housing proposals—rent freezes, a $70 billion public housing plan, and even city-run grocery stores—are energizing voters but worrying developers and landlords. Some fear the policies could hamper investment and drive another wave of wealth migration out of the city. We'll explore what this political shift could mean for housing policy, development conditions, and real estate investing in one of the world's most important markets.

Glenn Beck Special. How the Iran Conflict Exposed the REAL Threat to America https://youtu.be/S2B63_lTl98?si=z-ND6Jlth1SryaMA Glenn Beck 1.49M subscribers 77,278 views Premiered Jun 25, 2025 #zohranmamdani #glennbeck #iran Steve Bannon warned on "The Glenn Beck Program" that "we're already in the beginning of the kinetic part of the Third World War." But is Iran the biggest threat to America, or is the real threat what Iran represents: the political form of Islam that is spreading and the new relationships that have now been exposed among communists, radical leftists, and Islamists? Glenn reveals tape from a Michigan imam who details the real goal of Iran and Islamists: ending Western civilization. It's what Glenn Beck predicted years ago on Fox News. "Globalize the intifada" is no longer a death chant by Hamas jihadis in Gaza; it's now basically the slogan from New York City's Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. The evidence is clear — radical Islamic ideology has spread from the Middle East to Europe and has made a home in America. Wake up. Guests: Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the U.S. office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran, who personally exposed multiple nuclear sites in Iran. Melanie Phillips, British journalist, broadcaster, and author, who says the term "Islamophobia" is being used to shut down the debate about the Islamist march across the West.

In the New York mayoral election, Zohran Mamdani demonstrated a remarkable crossover appeal for a Democratic Socialist. Mr. Mamdani – who could become the city's first Muslim mayor – won large majorities of voters from conservative outer boroughs to majority Black neighborhoods. Also: today's stories, including how a small Spanish town became a microcosm of the tensions brewing across Europe over immigration; the Trump administration's plan to encourage childbearing; and how a wedding in the Nuba Mountains of Sudan offers hope in a time of despair.

As history repeats itself, we dissect Zohran Mamdani's stunning Democratic primary victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo in NYC's mayoral race—a win that sent shockwaves through Wall Street and sparked what hedge fund CEO Dan Loeb dubbed "Hot Commie Summer." How did the Democratic Socialist candidate pull of one of the biggest political upsets in recent New York history? And what potentials does the win provide outside political spectacle?

After a big win at the Supreme Court, President Trump continues to push his agenda forward, with hopes that Congress will pass the 'big, beautiful bill' by Friday. However, this big piece of legislation is on a knife's edge. Former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) explains the process of reconciliation and the President's goal to prevent tax rates from increasing. Dana and Speaker McCarthy also discuss the recent Democratic primary election in New York City, where a self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist won the nomination. They question whether this reflects the future of the Democratic Party. I Wish Someone Has Told Me: Speaker McCarthy addresses his prior concerns about President Biden's cognitive health, which is now under investigation. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this sweeping broadcast, Tara unpacks a string of bombshell stories the media buried over the weekend. First, Canada backed off its 3% “digital services tax” targeting U.S. social media giants after Trump shut down all tariff negotiations, proving how quickly foreign governments fold when America finally flexes its leverage. Then she details the chilling escalation out of Iran: a second fatwa by a top cleric calling for Trump's assassination—just as new satellite images confirm Iran is rebuilding its Chinese-run nuclear facilities destroyed by U.S. strikes. Tara explains why the uranium stockpile hidden deep in Isfahan could reignite the crisis any moment. But the heart of the episode is a resurfaced clip of Zoran Mamdani openly declaring his plan to seize the means of production, empty the prisons, and defund the police—echoing the Marxist playbook Tara has warned about for years. She traces how this radical vision for America would leverage emergencies (like a climate crisis) to trigger the Lever Act, seize food and fuel, and install a system of total control paired with social credit scoring. From Canadian trade battles to Iranian nuclear ambitions and the Democratic Socialists' dangerous momentum, Tara argues that the biggest threat isn't just foreign adversaries—but the ideological revolution brewing at home, waiting for its chance to lock in power permanently.

Zohran Mamdani's primary win marks the end of the Democratic Party as we once knew it. Maybe they realize it, probably they don't, but it makes no difference. The truth is, it was already dead. They spent ten years going to war on Trump while also using him to scare their voters to the polls, with their endless crisis.Without a combative media to keep them in line, they didn't have to offer the people much of anything because they knew they would vote blue no matter who, as long as Trump was on the other side.Mamdani did the unthinkable. He ran as an unapologetic Democratic Socialist. He seemed to arrive almost magically to sell Gen-Z the dream. A showbiz nepo baby and former rapper, he was a whole lotta of charisma waiting for his ticket to ride. Has the Democratic Party found its new leader?There is still a question as to whether Mamdani can indeed pull out a win in the general election. Voters might turn out in droves to stop him. But maybe, just maybe, they won't. Perhaps they'll overlook high crime, “gender affirming care,” and the border crisis to explore what state-run grocery stores might look like.It's not really his policies that brought him to victory so much as his revolutionary spirit - he's like the living embodiment of the Summer of 2020. He wants to tear it all down, too. It's the demographic he appeals to that might herald a real revolution, considering it's the same demographic that backed Obama in 2008—Upper-Middle-Class white college kids.David Friedberg from the All in Podcast:Like Obama, Mamdani is cut from the same cloth. He hung out with them. He went to college with them. He was indoctrinated alongside them. He speaks their language. He knows their world. They'll follow him anywhere.Note the viral songs already hitting TikTok, where young women shake that groove thing as they chant his name.Mamdani tapped into Indoctrination Nation, the Evergreen generation that believes America is a corrupt, “white supremacist” empire crippled by Capitalism - but could you please hand me my iphone so I can make a TikTok?This generation came of age in a convenience culture that gave them everything they wanted when they wanted it - Uber, Netflix, abortion, DoorDash, Tinder, TikTok, iPhones, Google, and ChatGPT. Why can't they have democratic socialism if they want it?Because they don't really know what it means, and they don't care. They are a generation ready for the big moves, no more playing it safe. The Democrats should have listened to David Hogg, who was a harbinger of things to come.The Death RattleAfter Mamdani's win, it was all quiet on the Leftern Front. Bill Clinton was the first to weigh in. It was like cautiously approaching a coiled rattlesnake. Don't make any sudden moves.But the Democrats old enough to know the history must be in a panic. They know why Hillary had to crush the Bernie movement like a bug. They know how bad it got. So bad that Sarah Silverman and Al Franken had to try to calm down BernieMania as the crowd chanted “WAR HAWK” at Hillary.The Party Elders recall the bad old days, when they were undone by the Eugene McCarthy faction of the party because they were perceived as too extreme for the silent majority. They remember the catastrophic loss of George McGovern.They recall Jimmy Carter's malaise and how Uncle Teddy primaried him, ushering in 12 years of Reagan and Bush. They remember the dark days of the milquetoast normies who couldn't inspire crowds - like Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and John Kerry.Playing it safe worked until it didn't. Now they'll have to play it bold with an army at the ready, the same army they funded and praised all through the Summer of 2020 with the Autonomous Zones, torching businesses, all to sow chaos, to do the bidding of the Democrats just to take Trump out of power.This army had no choice but to absorb what a weaponized, biased press corps told them every day of their lives - when they called Trump a fascist, when they called him Hitler. The hysteria kept mounting, and purging bad people wasn't enough.This army is ready for a different war, a bigger war - a war against Israel, against ICE, against Trump, Capitalism, Free Enterprise, the gender binary, the cost of rent, mortgages, fossil fuels, and now, the Democratic Party.The legacy media have been covering up their violent riots, outbursts, and protests for a long time, so much so that most people on the Left don't even know about it. Even in the Summer of 2020, they didn't turn it into a significant news story. Why? Because it always had to go one way, it always had to be about Trump.The media will never take responsibility for what they've done, how they've lied for so long, and what that did to the minds of the young who spent the last ten years believing a fascist dictator had overtaken America.This army that torched Teslas and set cars on fire in Los Angeles has been hiding in plain sight, but the rest of the country is about to get a much closer look. Just wait until this Summer, because that army now has a real leader in Mamdani.Call Him DaddyAs Operation Midnight Hammer brought the might of the American military down on Iran's nuclear facilities, Trump was carefully, steadily coming in for a landing. As the passengers screamed and howled, imagining the absolute worst, Trump did what he always does - he hit the bullseye.Some were calling for his impeachment. Others regretted their vote and called him a “war criminal.” There was talk of regime change in Iran and a MAGA Civil War. It was pure chaos.But then, the plane touched down, and everyone burst into applause. After a few setbacks, a ceasefire was established. Even the leaders of NATO were impressed. How could you not be?As he racked up win after win after win, Trump was having the best two weeks of either of his presidencies.This week made one thing abundantly clear: Trump won the ten-year insurrection, coup, and war on his presidency, his supporters, and democracy itself. He beat them at the ballot box, he beat their lawfare:He beat them at the schools, stopping indoctrination and the denial of biological reality:In ordinary times, Trump would be hailed as the comeback kid who has erased the lies told about him in his first term and remade himself as one of the most consequential presidents in American history.But that was not going to happen because the so-called “resistance army” believes itself to still be at war with Trump.One of their favorite conduits is Natasha Bertrand at CNN, who was an easy mark to spin the narrative the Democrats needed, that Trump and Operation Midnight Hammer had failed:But the early findings are at odds with President Donald Trump's repeated claims that the strikes “completely and totally obliterated” Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities.Missing in that report was that it was “low confidence,” and should never have been tossed out like bloody chum to draw the sharks.One of the reasons people like me no longer trust them is that we know the game by now, too. We'll find our information elsewhere from people we trust to tell us the truth, people who, unlike the Democrats and their corporate press, are looking out for the public's best interests.

This week, Zohran Mamdani won the first round of the Democratic primary for mayor of New York City, making him the presumptive party nominee and the early favorite to win November's general election. Endorsed by the Democratic Socialists of America, he's proposing rent freezes, universal childcare, higher taxes on corporations and the wealthy, free buses, and city-run grocery stores.On today’s Big Take podcast, we’re featuring an interview Mamdani did with Joe Weisenthal and Tracy Alloway for the Odd Lots podcast a few weeks ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Yorkers voted by a large margin for Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist, in the Democratic Party primary this week. The entire U.S. ruling class, much of it rooted in New York City, on Wall Street, has declared war against Mamdani, hoping to prevent his expected victory in the general election in November. Brian and Layan also discuss the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and what it says about contemporary politics and the state of the U.S. empire.Brian Becker is joined by Layan Sima Fuleihan, a Palestinian organizer with the Shut It Down for Palestine coalition, a popular educator, the Education Director at The People's Forum, and an editor at 1804 Books.This is a preview of a patrons-only episode.

Description: A scary Muslim named Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic mayoral primary, and Zionists are absolutely freaking out. In this clip Jimmy and Americans' Comedian Kurt Metzger mock the over-the-top reactions from political figures and media personalities, particularly right-wing commentators, who equate Mamdani's Muslim identity and progressive views with anti-American and anti-Israel sentiment. They also explore how Mamdani's refusal to blindly support Israel during debates may have contributed to his popularity, contrasting it with exaggerated loyalty pledges from other candidates. Throughout, the hosts criticize the Democratic Socialists of America, highlight government hypocrisy, and deride fearmongering rhetoric around Muslims and leftist policies.  Plus segments on Iran Attacks backfiring on Israel and Marjorie Taylor Greene BLASTS Trump Over Iran Attacks! Also featuring Kurt Metzger, Mike MacRae, and Stef Zamorano. Plus a Phone call from JD Vance!

This week New York City Democrats held their primary for mayor, and nominated Zohran Kwame Mamdani. Mamdani is a Democratic Socialist who promises to implement free bussing, a $30 per hour minimum wage, universal childcare, and a government-run grocery store program. Hosts of the World's Smartest Podcast Network hosts, Turner Sparks and Dr. Andrea Jones-Rooy join to discuss.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Charles Chuck Thompson dive into the latest news and happenings with a special focus on the 'Dumb Bleep of the Week' contest. The episode begins with a light-hearted conversation on the personal growth of Charlie, jokes about the Fed Haters Club, and the importance of their Friday episodes. They cover various topics including a new attack ad against Thomas Massie, the recent bombings in Iran, and reactions from public figures. They scrutinize the GOP's approach towards New York City's Democratic Socialist mayoral candidate, critique Jamal Bowman's controversial statements, and discuss the implications of these events.

Friday Focus provides listeners with a focused, half-hour masterclass on the big issues, events and trends driving the news and current events. The show features Janice Gross Stein, the founding director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and bestselling author, in conversation with Rudyard Griffiths, Chair and moderator of the Munk Debates. Rudyard and Janice start today's show unpacking the intelligence information that has been released regarding the effectiveness of the US attack on Iran's nuclear sites. While centrifuges at Fordo have been rendered inoperable, a significant amount of enriched uranium has been moved from the site to an unknown location. Both hosts agree that a diplomatic solution is needed to prevent Iran from rebuilding their nuclear program. But will Iran trust the US and move towards non-enrichment, or go the way of North Korea and secretly sprint towards a bomb? In the second half of the show Rudyard and Janice turn to the surprising Democratic mayoral primary in New York where Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani upset former NY governor Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani's affordability message resonated with voters and showed that Trump and the Right do not have a monopoly on the public's growing frustration with economic inequality. This crushing defeat of an established politician reflects a powerful desire for change that party elites - on both sides of the aisle - ignore at their peril.

A self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, Mamdani was backed by progressives and 50,000 volunteers, Mamdani used ranked-choice strategy and cross-endorsements to surge past Cuomo’s well-funded comeback bid, signaling a generational shift in the Democratic Party.

Meet my friends, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton! If you love Verdict, the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show might also be in your audio wheelhouse. Politics, news analysis, and some pop culture and comedy thrown in too. Here’s a sample episode recapping four Thursday takeaways. Give the guys a listen and then follow and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. PC Pres Corps Hour 1 of The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show dives into the explosive fallout from a leaked intelligence report questioning the effectiveness of a recent U.S. military strike on Teran. Hosts Clay and Buck, alongside commentary from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, launch a full-throated defense of the mission and President Donald Trump’s leadership, while sharply criticizing the mainstream media for what they describe as politically motivated reporting. The hour opens with a breakdown of the CNN and New York Times leaks, which suggested the strike may have failed. Buck Sexton, drawing on his intelligence background, explains the complexities of identifying leakers and the dangers of politicizing classified information. The hosts argue that the leak was a deliberate attempt by the “deep state” to undermine President Trump’s credibility and military success. Pete Hegseth’s fiery Pentagon press conference is a focal point, where he accuses the press corps of rooting against Trump and downplaying the bravery and precision of U.S. pilots. The segment includes a viral moment where Hegseth is questioned for not explicitly acknowledging female pilots, prompting a broader discussion on gender politics in the military and media. A former female military pilot calls in to express support for Hegseth, dismissing the controversy as media-driven nitpicking. Why What Happens in NY Matters Everywhere the political upheaval surrounding New York City's mayoral race, highlighting the rise of Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani. Clay and Buck analyze the implications of Mamdani's nomination, emphasizing how his progressive platform—backed by figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders—signals a broader shift within the Democratic Party. They explore the national ramifications of this political momentum, warning that what happens in New York could soon influence Democrat-led cities across the country. The hosts critique Mamdani's proposals, including an 800% increase in funding for hate crime prevention and his assertion that the criminal justice system is inherently racist. They argue these initiatives are more about left-wing indoctrination than effective governance. The conversation also touches on Mamdani's savvy use of social media and his appeal to younger voters, many of whom are financially supported by their parents and drawn to socialism despite benefiting from capitalism. Local Story with National Reach Eric Adams, the current NYC mayor, is portrayed as a potential moderate counterweight, possibly running as an independent. The show discusses the strategic challenges Adams faces, especially if former Governor Andrew Cuomo enters the race, potentially splitting the anti-Mamdani vote. The hosts also examine the fractured state of the Democratic Party, debating whether it can still suppress far-left candidates or if it will continue to “double down on crazy.” President Donald Trump is referenced as a stabilizing force, particularly in contrast to the chaos the hosts associate with progressive policies. They highlight the effectiveness of Trump-era immigration enforcement, with praise for figures like Tom Homan and Stephen Miller, and criticize sanctuary city policies that undermine federal law enforcement. The hour concludes with a broader cultural critique, linking the rise of socialism to generational entitlement and a rejection of meritocracy. The hosts argue that capitalism’s success has ironically enabled the luxury of anti-capitalist sentiment, particularly among younger, affluent urban voters. Do You Buy This Story? Jamaal Bowman's questionable story about being yelled at by a white dude in Yonkers, NY. Media bias and the decline of CNN’s credibility. Jake Tapper lectures us on the purpose of journalism. Clay and Buck point out that CNN has become a partisan outlet, losing its former status as a trusted news source. They discuss whether the network is salvageable and propose that only a radical overhaul—possibly led by a figure like Megyn Kelly—could restore its relevance. The show also explores internal divisions within the Democratic Party, sparked by Chris Cuomo’s criticism of the party’s far-left wing, including figures like AOC and Bernie Sanders. The hosts argue that the Democratic Party is increasingly dominated by anti-capitalist, radical progressive ideologies, which they claim alienate moderate voters and threaten national unity. Further discussion includes the media’s treatment of conservatives, the legacy of Trumpism, and the broad coalition President Trump has built, including former Democrats like Tulsi Gabbard and RFK Jr. The hosts highlight how Trump’s second term is marked by a more strategic and media-savvy administration.

President Donald Trump says the leaked U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency report suggesting Iran's nuclear program has been set back only a few months after the recent U.S. bombings is wrong, the nuclear sites have been destroyed – in his word 'obliterated' - and the reporters who published the DIA reports finding are 'bad people', 'sick' and are demeaning the hero pilots who carried out the U.S. attack; CDC Director nominee Susan Monarez says at a Senate confirmation vaccines are  "life-saving" and she has not seen evidence linking them to autism; Senate Commerce Committee approves Bryan Bedford, CEO of a regional airline, to be FAA Administrator; Claims of a Justice Dept whistleblower who says the Trump Administration planned to disregard court orders that would hinder immigrants deportations come up at several Senate hearings today, with the Attorney General Pam Bondi and former top Justice Dept official Emil Bove, nominated for a federal appeals court judgeship; Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell again points to the threat of inflation from President Trump's tariffs for not cutting interest rates; surprise win in the New York City Mayoral Democratic primary by Zohran Mamdani, a self-described Democratic Socialist.

First: President Trump insists the US strikes on Iran "obliterated" the regime's nuclear capabilities. But he also concedes it may be too early to really know how much was destroyed.  Plus: In the New York Democratic mayoral primary, a 33-year-old Democratic Socialist toppled the former governor, not to mention many others in the party's establishment. Is it a one-off upset or a blueprint for progressives moving forward?  And: The president nominated his former personal lawyer and enforcer for a seat on the federal bench. We're tracking a key Senate hearing as he tries to convince senators he can be fair and impartial on the bench.    Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A shockwave rippled through New York politics this week as little-known 33-year old assemblyman Zohran Mamdani toppled Andrew Cuomo, whose political lineage could not compete with his scandal-ridden tenure as governor, to win the Democratic primary nomination for the city's mayoral election. Mamdani mobilized a coalition of young voters, ethnic minorities and others behind a hard-left platform that called for even higher taxes than New Yorkers already pay and expanded government programs. He has voiced strong support for Palestinian causes and has called to “globalize the intifada” whatever that means. Meanwhile, current mayor Eric Adams plans to run as an independent as a way to head off the new young radical's path to Gracie Mansion. What does Mamdani's stunning success say about Democrats - in New York and in the country as a whole.  On this episode of Free Expression, Gerry Baker and political analyst Heather Mac Donald look at some of Mamdani's more radical views, break down just who voted for each candidate, and what the latest far left Democratic plans for a major city may do to New York's economy and financial sector.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Andrew Walworth, Tom Bevan and Carl Cannon discuss the results of yesterday's Democratic primary in New York City, where 33-year old democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani now leads Andrew Cuomo in a ranked choice election and is likely to emerge victorious. And they talk about the House voting on articles of impeachment against Donald Trump over his military strike in Iran, with 79 Democrats voting in favor. Then, they discuss CNN's report that an early U.S. intelligence assessment says Iran's nuclear program was set back by months and its core components were intact, a story the White House rejects. Plus, Kari Lake testified today before the House about the dismantling of Voice of America, alleging the agency had employed foreign spies, violated immigration laws, and misspent taxpayer dollars. Next, Carl talks to National Journal White House correspondent George Condon about this history of presidents, bad language and the F-bomb. And winding it up, Andrew talks to presidential historian Tevi Troy about the life and contributions of author, broadcaster and pundit Ben Wattenberg, who proudly embraced the term “neoconservative" and passed away 10 years ago this month.

Zohran Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and he just used a viral online campaign and good old-fashioned shaking hands and kissing babies to earn the Democratic nomination for New York City mayor over former governor Andrew Cuomo. What does this mean for the future of America's signature city?

Most of the political attention these days is centered in D.C, but there's a pretty fascinating primary contest happening just a train ride north in New York City. The Democratic primary for mayor of the Big Apple features a crowded field of Democrats, including some well known names like former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who was forced to resign after multiple sexual harassment allegations against him in 2021, and some new names like New York State Representative Zohran Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist who has little experience politically but a knack for social media. He also happens to have the support of another young, well known New York City liberal, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.In some ways, this race is very New York City with storylines that could only happen there. In fact, the New York Times asked the all- important “what's your bagel order” question. But there are also shades of the tension in national Democratic politics between the more pragmatic and more progressive wings of the party happening in this race.Plus, Donald Trump, an outsized influence in and on the city, is a big factor here as well. To make sense of it all, I sat down with Nick Fandos, who's covering every twist and turn of this race for The New York Times. He's the city's politics and government reporter.Early voting has already started, and the primary is on Tuesday, June 24th.

Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY), one of Israel's most vocal Democratic defenders in Congress, joined The Guy Benson Show today to explain why he supports Israel's preemptive strikes against Iran, where Torres says that the strikes are in the best interest of the United States and the free world. Torres emphasized Iran's bloody history against Americans and warned against allowing the world's top state sponsor of terrorism to go nuclear. Torres said that Israel should attempt to destroy Fordo themselves, but said that he would support the U.S. intervening in a limited capacity to assist. Guy and Torres then weighed in on the NYC mayoral race and warned of the dangers if Democratic Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral race, and didn't mince words in calling Governor Kathy Hochul "the least effective executive" on the face of the earth when asked why he'd consider running for governor of New York.
