Every terrifying thing you need to know about NYC’s intifada-embracing, communist mayoral threat, Zohran Mamdani



On September 11, 2001, nearly 2,500 Americans were killed when two planes hijacked by Muslim terrorists struck New York City’s Twin Towers. It’s been less than 24 years, and now that same city has elected Zohran Mamdani — a “communist,” “Muslim radical,” and “jihadist apologist” — as its Democratic mayoral candidate.

Mamdani is a 33-year-old Democratic socialist backed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). He openly supports the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, refuses to condemn the phrase "globalize the intifada," and proposes rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, a $30 minimum wage, and a Department of Community Safety to reduce reliance on police.

All it took was 24 years for NYC to go “completely insane,” says Glenn Beck.

Mamdani was endorsed and funded to the tune of $100,000 by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which has been accused by multiple U.S. government officials, including federal prosecutors and FBI agents as well as several conservative advocacy groups, as being a Hamas front group and a terrorist organization.

He also received campaign donations from multiple faculty members from Columbia University, where several pro-Palestinian protests, many involving violent incidents, have erupted since 2023. Some of these donors even signed a letter defending Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attacks.

In a 2024 Facebook post, Mamdani’s campaign political director, Julian Gerson, wrote that he was “looking forward to driving down Mangione Avenue a few decades from now.” The post was seen as expressing direct support for Luigi Mangione – the man charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.

“Sounds like supporting killing people in the streets,” says Glenn.

On June 17, Mamdani appeared on “The Bulwark Podcast” hosted by Tim Miller and equated the phrase “globalize the intifada” to “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights,” arguing that the word “intifada” means “struggle” or “uprising” in Arabic. He even suggested that the term was used by the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Arabic to describe the Jewish Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against the Nazis — a sentiment the museum condemned as “outrageous and especially offensive to survivors.”

Glenn makes an excellent point: If “intifada” describes the Jewish uprising at Warsaw, “then [globalize the intifada] is not just a harmless kind of slogan about human rights; it is a call for violence on the streets,” as the Warsaw uprising was a bloody affair marked by fierce urban combat and executions.

Mamdani’s father, a current professor at Columbia University, has denied that terror and violence are an inherent part of Islam. His book, “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim: America, the Cold War, and the Roots of Terror,” argues that terrorism is a modern political phenomenon, not a product of Islamic culture, and is often rooted in historical encounters with Western power.

“I've read the Quran and much of the Hadith, and I'm pretty sure the violence is a part of that,” says Glenn, noting that the Americans supporting the pro-Palestine movement and people like Zohran Mamdani, condemning any opposition as “Islamophobia,” are ironically the first people who will be in the crosshairs if an Islamic takeover happens.

“The progressive left — the champions of feminism, LGBTQ rights, and secularism — they're going to stand with the people who want to kill them first,” he says.

But right now, that isn’t a concern for the left. They’re amped about Mamdani’s plans to “tax the rich” so he can provide “free buses” and “city-run grocery stores.”

“I'm old enough to remember those city-run grocery stores in Moscow. They were great; the shelves were empty, but that's just Moscow. I mean it worked out completely different in Venezuela where ... oh, no, it didn't. ... They were eating the zoo animals,” mocks Glenn. This is communist dogma at work, he says, and it’s responsible for the “deaths of 100 million people.”

“Get the hell out of New York City. This is about survival,” he warns.

Abortions are going up thanks to THIS leftist loophole



In the background of the Supreme Court ruling that has given states the power to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics is President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which could hit the clinics even harder.

The bill includes language that would ban insurance plans offered under the Affordable Care Act from covering abortion care in certain states.

“I’m still optimistic that this will remain in the bill. There’s too much political support behind it, primarily from the American people, by the way,” Terry Schilling, president of the American Principles Project, tells BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford on “Blaze News: The Mandate.”

“Over 60% of Americans do not want tax dollars going towards funding abortion procedures,” he explains, adding, “I think Donald Trump has shown Republicans how to fight back in the culture war and how to win.”


“There’s been some good progress. We are cutting back taxpayer funding in the red states for abortions, we are restricting it, we are passing common-sense laws like in Texas and in Florida. Texas has a great law; it’s a heartbeat law, and they’ve essentially eliminated all of abortions,” he continues.

However, after the overturn of Roe v. Wade three years ago, abortions have gone up by 10% across America.

“What’s causing that is the blue states have passed what’s known as shield laws that allow them to recruit and advertise for abortion services in the red states and the border states,” Schilling explains. “It also allows their pharmaceutical companies and their doctors to mail out abortion drugs to the red states.”

“I do hope that in the future, we will bring more attention to the fact that these blue states have weaponized their laws to make sure that we’re aborting more babies,” he adds.

The REAL reason Zohran Mamdani — Marxist, Muslim nutcase — won the NYC mayoral primary



Andrew Cuomo is from the New York ruling family of Democrats, and yet that wasn’t enough to stop socialist Zohran Mamdani from winning the Democratic primary for mayor in New York City.

“Zohran Mamdani won by a lot. It wasn’t even close,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says on “The Liz Wheeler Show.”

"It’s not because he’s charismatic. It’s not because he gets the problems of New Yorkers. It’s not because he ran some phenomenal campaign. It’s none of that,” she explains.

“It’s because of the demographic of voters who voted for him,” she adds.

Of the registered voters in New York City, 65% of them are Democrat, while only 11% are Republican, and 21.1% are Independent. And of the 5.1 million registered voters in New York City, the average age is 49, which is the tail end of the Millennial generation.


Between 750,000 and 850,000 of those 5.1 million are Gen Z, which is between the ages of 18 and 29 years old. Between 1.6 and 1.8 million of the 5.1 million are between the ages of 30 and 49.

“That means that 2.5 million of New York City’s registered voters ... are what I call ‘indoctrinated kids,’” Wheeler explains. “If you look at the breakdown of who voted for Zohran Mamdani, you will find that it was white college-educated liberals who voted for Zohran Mamdani, versus the working class, who voted for Andrew Cuomo.”

“What happened is they exported the radical leftist ideology in which they were indoctrinated into the real world; they brought it with them. And so when I say ‘indoctrinated kids,’ I’m talking about the Millennial generation,” she continues.

“Now, when we’re talking about Gen Z, the problem has only been exacerbated. It is exponentially worse now on college campuses. It’s not just discrimination against conservatives. It’s not just, ‘Oh, you’re going to be a liberal by the time you leave.’ It is outright hatred of America,” she explains.

“It’s embracing socialism and Marxism and communism, rejecting God, rejecting family, rejecting natural law. Children who are sent to college now have a high likelihood of coming out of it revolutionary. And so when I use this phrase ‘indoctrinated kids,’” she adds, “they are voting for what they were taught is right.”

MASSIVE WIN: Planned Parenthood takes major hit to abortion 'care'



The Supreme Court has ruled that South Carolina has the power to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood clinics — and liberals have once again taken an opportunity to fire off pro-abortion messages as if their lives depend on it.

“I’m happy to have a conversation, a back-and-forth, a civil discussion about the merit of the pro-life argument, but when the other side is literally screaming, screaming, literally screaming, and having an epic meltdown over less babies being killed in the womb,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments, “we’re past reason.”

The case, Medina v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, centered on whether low-income Medicaid patients can sue under Section 1983 in order to choose their own qualified health care provider.


South Carolina had blocked Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, which the organization argued violated a federal law. However, in a 6-3 decision, the Court did not side with Planned Parenthood — and now all states can block Medicaid from funding Planned Parenthood clinics.

While federal law already prevented Medicaid from funding abortions, Planned Parenthood had a loophole.

“Planned Parenthood will tell you they just offer health care, they’re just here for women’s reproductive health, it’s all health care,” Gonzales says.

“And so, the way that this defunds Planned Parenthood, this law, is that Planned Parenthood receives 33% to 43% of its total revenue, that’s $2.03 billion dollars, from the government each year,” she explains, “Medicaid reimbursements account for about 75% of that funding. So if you do the math, that’s like $600 [or] $700 mil.”

“But about 50% of Planned Parenthood’s patient visits are covered by Medicaid. That’s 5 million annual visits,” she continues, noting that the left is now acting as if their access to health care has been cut.

“There are federally qualified health centers that are nationwide. There’s, I think, like, 1,300 centers that serve 13 million-plus patients. You’ve got county and city public health clinics that accept Medicaid, and I mean, they do all this while not killing babies,” she says, adding, “It’s almost like the left’s argument on killing babies is entirely disingenuous and evil.”

Dark politics changed her mind about Christianity



After covering a little too much darkness in the world, journalist Jessica Reed Kraus of House Inhabit has opened her Bible and started on a spiritual journey.

And BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey is not only thrilled to hear it but well-aware that encountering darkness can often lead someone to the light.

“I hear from a lot of people who previously, they didn’t believe, or maybe they were just agnostic, and they didn’t know that it was actually seeing evil, in whatever context, some people it’s Hollywood, for some people it’s politics, for some people it’s in their own life, that kind of turns the light on,” Stuckey tells Kraus on “Relatable.”

“And they’re like, ‘Oh, if there’s objective evil and darkness, then there must be objective goodness and light too,’” she adds.


“Absolutely,” Kraus agrees. “That’s sort of an underlying theme now, is good and evil and darkness and light and what you’re giving your energy to.”

Some of the darkness she had seen prior to beginning her spiritual journey is attributed to covering celebrities like Britney Spears, whose fall from grace has served as entertainment for the masses — and one she could no longer cover after a certain point.

“When it weighs me in a negative and sort of a dark way, I will usually kind of back away,” she says.

However, Kraus didn’t always feel drawn to the Bible, as growing up around liberals, the topic of God was “shunned.”

“You just kind of instinctively know not to bring up God and religion,” she explains, noting that when she was working on the campaign trail with the Trump team and the Kennedy team, it couldn’t have been more different, and people were very open with prayer and faith.

“It felt like it was a really cool thing to witness,” she adds.

Texas AG hopeful ROASTS NYC Democrat mayoral candidate, 'Zorban whatever his name is — the pajama-wearing socialist feminist'



As Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton gears up to challenge incumbent U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-Texas) in the Republican primary for the 2026 Senate election, Aaron Reitz is preparing to replace Paxton as Texas attorney general. As a former deputy attorney general for legal strategy under Paxton, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, a former chief of staff to Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas), and a former assistant attorney general in the Trump administration’s Department of Justice, Reitz is perfectly suited to be Texas’ next top cop.

On a recent episode of “Prime Time with Alex Stein,” Reitz joined Alex to talk about a disturbing development in New York’s 2025 mayoral race: Zohran Mamdani, a "socialist-communist Muslim," just won the Democratic nomination.

Mamdani ran on promises to provide free city buses and universal child care, to freeze rent on stabilized units, to open city-owned grocery stores, to institute a $30 minimum wage by 2030, and to build 200,000 affordable housing units – all funded by taxing the wealthy and corporations.

With none other than Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) as his muse, Mamdani is as socialist as they come.

And he’s a Muslim who defends the phrase “globalize the intifada” and is an outspoken advocate for Palestinian causes. Among his long list of brow-raising campaign donors is the Council on American-Islamic Relations — a group widely criticized as a Hamas front with suspected terrorist ties, notorious for its anti-Israel propaganda and support for extremist causes.

In an ironic twist, however, Mamdani’s Muslim faith — a religion associated with deeply traditional values — hasn’t hindered him from being as socially progressive as it gets.

Alex shares a 2020 Instagram post from Mamdani that tells you exactly where he falls on the woke meter.

The caption reads: “Defunding the police is a feminist issue. Women, especially trans women, are disproportionately impacted by police violence & the violence of incarceration. We need to divest from these systems & invest in services that lift all of us up.”

“I actually think he's going to be good for New York City, because if this is what New York City wants, this is what New York City gets,” says Alex. “They are at a point where I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.”

Reitz agrees — “They say in a democracy you get the leaders that you deserve.”

And maybe electing Mamdani will actually help New York correct its course in the end.

“What helped President Trump win in 2024 was we just went through four years of a disastrous Biden administration,” says Reitz. “I think that New Yorkers are going to have to unfortunately experience this disaster administration of Zorban whatever his name is — the pajama-wearing socialist feminist — in order to learn the lesson.”

“Good luck, New York! You guys will need it,” says Alex.

Parents beware: Horrific safety breaches in two popular childcare services



Boasting millions of users globally, Care.com is a leading platform for caregiving services, including childcare, senior care, pet care, and housekeeping. While this matching service may be a convenient way to book a quick babysitter, there’s something all users — but especially parents — need to know about the platform.

A few years ago, an independent journalist named Edwin Dorsey dug into Care.com after his friend, who was a babysitter on the platform, told him something didn’t feel right about the company. Dorsey set to work experimenting with the website. It wasn’t long before it became crystal clear that Care.com wasn’t at all what people thought it was.

On a recent episode of “Relatable,” Dorsey joined Allie Beth Stuckey to share his dark findings.

“Care.com claimed to be a very safe place to look for babysitters, and they claimed to be running background checks,” says Dorsey. But when he did his own experiment signing up to be a babysitter, it became clear that the background checks were a myth.

“The way I tested their process is by trying to sign up as Harvey Weinstein, who was in the news a lot at the time. So I used a photo of Harvey Weinstein, I used the email harveythebabysitter@gmail.com, I made up a social security number, ... and I consented to their background check on Care.com to be a licensed babysitter,” he recounts. “And to my amazement, I was approved.”

To make sure it wasn’t some one-off fluke, Dorsey applied to be a babysitter using the alias “Daffy Duck,” and again he was approved. “They're telling parents they're running background checks. They're charging people for background checks, and then they're not running the background checks,” he tells Allie.

When Dorsey wrote up these disturbing findings in an article that went viral, Care.com “called [his] college to get [him] in trouble” and “sent some legal letter to [his] parents' house.” But this only made Dorsey “dig in more.”

“So then I went to every state attorney general to get consumer complaints people had filed on Care.com, and I saw tons of safety issues,” he says. “I even go to some police departments, and I ask for all 911 calls that had Care.com mentioned in the transcript because I want to see how extensive all these abuses are.”

This digging resulted in shocking revelations.

“There’s a lot of people who had criminal histories who were approved to babysit on Care.com. There's a lot of people who had their kids taken away from them who then go become babysitters on Care.com. There's people who've been banned from running day cares who are listing their services on Care.com. There's people with DUIs and battery charges advertising themselves on Care.com — all unbeknownst to parents,” says Dorsey.

“Ultimately, there were eight kids who were given to Care.com babysitters with criminal histories, where the parents didn't know, and the kids ended up dying,” he adds.

Dorsey ultimately linked up with Gregory Zuckerman at the Wall Street Journal, who turned his research on Care.com into a front-page exposé.

Sadly, the disturbing events Dorsey uncovered aren’t isolated to the Care.com platform. Today, Dorsey is reporting on another caregiving service — KinderCare, a chain of childcare and early education centers in the U.S. serving military families and receiving tax dollars through government subsidies for low-income families.

His investigations have exposed issues such as toddlers escaping onto busy roads, children being left alone in locked buildings or buses, and allegations of physical, verbal, and sexual abuse at KinderCare facilities. And yet these stories are getting “literally zero media reporting,” he says.

EXPOSED: Tim Walz's shocking ties to radical Muslim cleric



In 2018, Tim Walz publicly praised a radical Muslim cleric named Asad Zaman — who Blaze Media co-founder Glenn Beck says has a “despicable” history.

“I would like to, first of all, say thank you to Imam. I am a teacher, so when I see a master teacher, I know it,” Walz says on video. “Over the time we’ve spent together, one of the things I’ve had the privilege of is seeing the things in life through the eye of a master teacher to try and get the understanding, listening today to the stories and what it means.”

While the Harris-Walz campaign had previously jumped in to deny the relationship, claiming the pair did not have a personal relationship and that Walz “condemns” Hamas terrorism, Glenn isn’t buying it.

“Why don’t they want him connected to Zaman?” Glenn asks. “Maybe it is because he has posted official Hamas press releases, or perhaps it’s because he’s linked to a pro-Hitler film called ‘The Greatest Story Never Told,’ so he loves the Nazis.”

“And then of course, there might be a little problem that after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, he posted on Facebook that he and his organization, quote, ‘stand in solidarity with the Palestinians against the Israeli attacks,’” Glenn continues.

Zaman is also the executive director of the Minnesota chapter of the Muslim American Society, which was described in 2008 by federal prosecutors as “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”

And in 2014, the United Arab Emirates designated the Muslim American Society a terrorist group.

“Wait a minute, he’s such a fantastic teacher, and they’re a terrorist group? Wow,” Glenn says, feigning shock. “Now, Harris-Walz, the campaign, has come out through a spokesperson: ‘Walz has no relationship with Zaman.’”

“Maybe they’re not getting together for backyard barbecues or calling each other up like, ‘What are you gonna wear today? Is it a blue day?’ Maybe that’s not happening, but according to the Washington Examiner’s report, Walz has appeared at events with Zaman at least five times,” Glenn explains.

“But remember, no relationship. ‘How dare Glenn Beck say that,’” Glenn mocks, adding, “How could there be? I mean, Tim Walz, he’s a folksy, all-American Midwestern dad who happens to believe in communism.”

Iranian terror suspects snuck in while 'Biden was asleep at the switch'



The number of Iranian nationals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement has been steadily climbing since President Trump’s strike on Iranian nuclear sites — but former immigration Judge Andrew Arthur warns it’s not going to die down anytime soon.

A press release from the Department of Homeland Security confirmations that “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 11 Iranian nationals illegally in the United States over the weekend.”

“ICE also arrested a U.S. citizen who threatened to kill ICE law enforcement while harboring an illegal alien from Iran. The weekend arrests reflect the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) commitment to keeping known and suspected terrorists out of American communities,” the press release continued.


“It’s important to note the fact that under the Biden administration between February 2021 and November 2024, which is the last report, we have 1,750 different Iranians were apprehended entering the United States illegally. There were more than 7,000 who were stopped at the ports of entry,” Arthur tells BlazeTV host Jill Savage and Blaze Media senior politics editor Christopher Bedford.

“Those apprehensions represent a 20-fold increase over the seven-year-period prior to President Biden taking office. So we saw a huge number of Iranians come to the United States,” he continues, “but here’s the much more important danger.”

“At the same time that the Biden administration was releasing millions of aliens apprehended into the United States, 1.9 million others snuck by Border Patrol agents,” he explains, noting that Biden’s lax border policy made it “very easy for the Iranian government to sneak hundreds, thousands, of other assets into this country while the Biden administration was asleep at the switch.”

No whites allowed? Al Sharpton vs. South African refugees



The Trump administration has allowed 54 South African immigrants into America after claims that white farmers are allegedly being killed in the country — and one man is very unhappy about it.

“The New York Times is saying that President Trump is saying to white Afrikaners from South Africa, ‘I’ll give you refugee status.’ So we’re bringing in white Afrikaners who we don’t know if they’re criminals, we don’t know what they went through in the legal process in South Africa,” Al Sharpton said on MSNBC.

“But people right here in Newark, we’re going to assume they’re all criminal,” he continued. “It is as blatantly double standard as one can get.”


“I don’t understand how 54 people have caused this big of a dustup when we’ve watched hundreds of thousands walk over our border for four straight years. This whole situation, it’s baffling to me. But it’s not baffling in terms of there’s so much stirred up racial division, and anything that appears to benefit white Christians in any way can be spun into, ‘Well, this is racism,’” BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock says on “Jason Whitlock Harmony.”

“They are looking, as you said, solely based on race,” T.J. Moe agrees. “We have rigged up this society to believe that white people cannot possibly be victims, so if we allow these white victims into America, now that destroys our narrative.”

“I think that’s what they’re looking at here. They can’t possibly demonstrate any sort of empathy. These are white people. Doesn’t matter that they’re only 7% of the population over there and that they’re being murdered and that President Trump calls it a genocide, none of that matters. It only matters that they’re white,” he continues.

“These South African farmers,” he adds, “there’s only 7%, but I think they own something like 75%, 80% of all the farmland in South Africa and produce like 95% of the goods. They’re incredibly productive people, and so these are refugees that you would want here.”
