DSA leader admits ‘hatred of the United States Constitution’ in viral clip



Unlike the Democrat Party establishment that only pretends to care about the Constitution, the Democratic Socialists of America make no secret of their disdain for America’s founding rule of law.

A viral excerpt from a July 2025 episode of the left-wing "Varn Vlog" podcast captures this unabashed enmity. In it, DSA National Political Committee member (and Marxist Unity Group figure) Cliff Connolly boldly admits the radical faction’s “hatred” of the Constitution.

“So the two things that we're famous for is our commitment to a program and our hatred of the United States Constitution,” he said.

“What the program does is it gives us a road map to revolution, and it gives us the obstacle that we finally will have to get over to have a revolution, which is the United States Constitution, the basis of the United States government,” he added.

“This should be parody, except it's not. It's just actually happening,” says BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales.

Guests Adam Johnson (“the Lectern Guy”) and comedian Davey Jackson share her outrage.

“These people are actually insane, but, you know, we could mock and make fun of them all we want,” says Johnson. “The latest study with a survey said that a third of [Democrats and Democratic-leaning adults] now identify as democratic socialists, so as much as we want to laugh, it's very real.”

He speculates that DSA members and supporters have always hated the Constitution, but they’re boldly admitting it now because they finally “feel strong enough to do it, or they feel cornered enough to where they have to come out now and reveal exactly who they are.”

“Obviously, what they're saying – ‘we hate the Constitution’ — is resonating with some people in America, which is deeply concerning,” adds Jackson.

“It's also deeply concerning that all of the men on that panel are clearly donating their testosterone to the women on the panel,” he jokes, referring to the other people in the video with Connolly.

Sara then plays another video that’s gone viral capturing New York State Assemblywoman and DSA member Emily Gallagher defending what she called “crimes of poverty.”

“People who are stealing things like toothpaste, people who are stealing things like, you know, soap, and that means if you're stealing those things, you need them,” she declared in a speech outside Manhattan Criminal Court.

“And we are choosing to protect billion-dollar companies like CVS and Walgreens over the people who are struggling to get by. So I would say that the true crime is that there is such incredible wealth disparity in this city that there are people who can be thrown in jail simply for having a biological need,” she added.

“Homegirl has eaten,” says Sara, mocking Gallagher’s size, “so I don't think she's the one to talk about disparities here.”

Francesca Hong’s DSA Spurns What My Korean War Vet Grandfather Sacrificed To Give Her

Instead of upholding what over 1.78 million Korean War vets fought to protect, Francesca Hong advocates to abolish the very systems of government that granted her family freedom and an opportunity in this country.

Glenn Beck exposes Mamdani’s ‘cheap groceries’ as a fraud pipeline — and classic socialist hypocrisy



Last month at a press conference announcing 30% discounts on staple groceries at planned city-owned stores, a reporter asked New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) how he would prevent people from buying up the cheap items for resale.

“Our RFP makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling,” he replied before passing the question off to Economic Development Corporation chief Jeanny Pak, who floated the idea of using “library-esque cards” to moderate patrons.

Glenn Beck finds the proposal preposterous and deeply ironic.

“You're going to put out a library card? Do you need a license or any kind of identification to get a library card? The answer? Yes,” he says, emphasizing Mamdani's and other progressives' opposition to voter ID requirements.

“So you're asking for ID. Okay, well, that makes sense because … you have to know who's coming in. Are they qualified to buy the stuff in your store?” Glenn continues, highlighting the glaring similarities between accessing NYC’s city-owned grocery stores and voting in an election.

He wonders whether or not Mamdani and other NYC officials have considered the inherent sexism and racism in such a proposal.

“I don't know why they hate women so much, because married women, you're not going to be able to do it because maybe you've changed your name and you don't have a birth certificate or any other form of ID whatsoever that could prove who you are,” he sarcastically remarks, mocking liberals’ debunked argument that voter ID laws disenfranchise married women.

After the backlash, Mamdani’s team clarified that the “library card-esque” idea was not an ID requirement but actually a voluntary customer loyalty-style card (like supermarket rewards programs) that the private store operator could use to track purchases and limit bulk buying for resale.

But regardless of how they try to frame their fraud prevention initiative, the irony remains.

“So [it’s] like a Costco card, which I have to sign up for and they have to know who I am, because they just don't hand them out at the door. … Or like an Albertson's card, where you have to sign up for it,” Glenn says.

Glenn’s head writer and researcher, Jason Buttrill, notes that the mayor’s office has pledged that the cards will be voluntary and free, with no residency, identity, or income check required to get one — which would make them arbitrary and ineffective at preventing fraud.

“If you're not going to check residency, why even have a card at all? Because you can come from Texas and just say, ‘Yeah, I live in New York. Give me my discount card,”’ he says.

“They know they’re being hypocrites,” says Glenn.

Communism and socialism always fail, he explains, because even after common sense reveals their failures, the government — afraid of losing face and supporters — doubles down, insisting it will eventually find the magic solution that proves the system works.

“Once a communist, always a communist,” says Glenn.

Sara Gonzales exposes Abdul El-Sayed’s disturbing donor network



To the dismay of many who love America and her founding principles, Abdul El-Sayed, a radical leftist Muslim activist, won the Michigan Senate primary last week.

The Democratic Socialists of America-backed ideologue, who was exposed in 2018 for promising driver's licenses to illegal aliens, is as progressive as they come. Between supporting unrestricted abortion, Medicare for All, and aggressive gun control — while openly opposing Immigration and Customs Enforcement and previously pushing to defund the police — El-Sayed is a conservative’s worst nightmare.

But BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales believes he just became an even bigger problem.

“This part actually scares me,” she admits.

On this episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Sara pulls back the curtain on El-Sayed’s controversial campaign finances.

According to a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records, Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign received more than $115,000 from at least 41 individuals who currently work for, previously worked for, or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations — which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such by the governors of Texas and Florida.

Additionally, El-Sayed’s father-in-law — a top donor to a Super PAC that supports El-Sayed’s campaign — is a leader of an Islamic organization that the federal government has identified as having ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

“This is the Democrat Party now. They are just embracing this,” says Sara. “It is not just socialism and communism. It is terrorism too.”

How Cancel Culture Laid The Groundwork For The Left’s Socialist Lurch

How did so many Americans come to tell pollsters they approve of a system that has proven to be unworkable, tyrannical, cruel, and murderous?

Mike Rowe nukes DSA commies, then takes a moment to bask in the fallout



The Democratic Party is undergoing a hostile takeover by democratic socialists and similarly minded radicals who've made no secret of their contempt for the United States and desire to transform it into something wholly unrecognizable.

After electoral successes in Colorado and New York, the Democratic Socialists of America enjoyed another victory on Tuesday in Michigan with DSA-backed state Rep. Donavan McKinney handily beating Rep. Shri Thanedar and Islamic leftist Abdul El-Sayed defeating Haley Stevens, the candidate preferred by the Democratic establishment, for the U.S. Senate nomination.

'What's the point of tolerating that?'

Prior to this latest Democratic primary bloodbath, blue-collar hero and former host of "Dirty Jobs" Mike Rowe weighed in on the party's embrace of "an ideology that has been proven, demonstrably, to be a really bad idea."

In a lengthy post that prompted the usual suspects to melt down, Rowe noted that it was "alarming to see how quickly communism has been embraced by so many, but it's even more alarming, to see how many have yet to condemn it, in favor of sheltering under a 'big tent.'"

Establishment Democrats, impotent to stop their party's takeover, have resorted in recent days to "big tent" talk as an apparent means of coping.

When asked, for instance, whether he was comfortable with El-Sayed, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said during a press conference on Tuesday, "Look, we are a big tent party, and being a big tent party is a strength, not a weakness."

Earlier this month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) similarly downplayed concerns over the DSA's ascendancy, stating, "Progressives in San Francisco were the early versions of the DSA. I've seen this all my life. I think it's incredibly healthy." Newsom added that he's for "addition ... not for subtraction."

"Not that anyone asked me, but ... wow," Rowe wrote. "The candidates that Newsom is referring to here are not subtle. They have clearly articulated precisely what they want, and exactly what they will try to accomplish if they gain power. No borders. No police. No prisons. No Senate. From each according to his needs, from each according to his abilities, and so forth. They are literally quoting Karl Marx, and they are literally on the record as desiring to completely dismantle our government and replace it with actual communism."

Rather than embracing bona fide communists, Rowe recommended that Democrats make a "reasonable appeal to Independents, and those not on board with this administration" and "affirmatively distance themselves from an ideology that has caused more human suffering than any other scheme dreamt up by man."

"If the DSA continues to grow in popularity, and the Democrats actually campaign on their behalf, I think it'll be the largest political blunder in my lifetime," added Rowe, a self-identified independent.

His post generated a great deal of conversation — and backlash — on social media, especially on Facebook, where the post had over 8,500 comments. Rowe then engaged in the dirty job of reading and responding to some of his critics.

In addition to leaning into his criticism of leftist lunacies, Rowe torpedoed the suggestion that some of the DSA candidates aren't communists simply because they identify as socialists; highlighted instances where prominent Democrats quote directly from "The Communist Manifesto"; refuted false equivalencies and efforts to paint Republicans as Nazis; and underscored that it's foolish to characterize age-old conservative principles as "Trumpian."

At the risk of ruffling even more feathers, Rowe noted that if one of America's two major parties "is affirmatively determined to transform our democratic republic into a communist state, then we're no longer debating the various ways to make our country better; we're debating the merits of destroying it. And really, what's the point of tolerating that?"

DSA national co-chair Megan Romer proudly admitted in a recent interview that her organization seeks, among other things, to eliminate the Senate; replace the presidency and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary handpicked and overseen by Congress; abolish U.S. borders and grant amnesty to all illegal aliens presently residing in the country; defund the Pentagon; abolish prisons; and seize public control of most large corporations.

Glenn Beck says Bill Maher may be ‘the most important man on the planet’ after shocking DSA monologue



In his June 2026 interview with Vice President JD Vance, Bill Maher noted that the Democratic Party’s direction — specifically the embracing of democratic socialists — could cost it his support.

“If this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” he admitted.

Although Maher took a lot of flak for his honesty, he has refused to soften his stance. During a recent episode of “Real Time with Bill Maher,” the longtime Democrat illustrated why his vote was up for grabs by reading aloud statements from the Democratic Socialists of America platform.

His audience audibly gasped.

“This is not a conservative audience. It's not a church crowd in Tulsa. It's Los Angeles, an audience that shows up on a Friday night to laugh at Republicans,” says Glenn Beck, who played the clip of Maher.

“Donald Trump has told one trillion lies, but when he says the Democratic Socialists of America are actually communist, that's not one of them. And it's not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates,” said Maher.

“'You work as much as you are able and no more than needed,'” he read from the DSA platform, then responded, “If that was any closer to Karl Marx's dictum ‘from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs,’ they'd be sued for plagiarism.”

He then noted that in 2020, New York City’s socialist mayor Zohran Mamdani actually tweeted this exact quote from Marx.

“Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of the two of the most murderous regimes in history: the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao’s China,” Maher continued.

He then turned his sights to Mamdani’s radical housing czar Cea Weaver.

“Cea Weaver said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over’ and ‘impoverish the white middle class,’” Maher quoted.

But it was Weaver’s 2017 tweet — “Elect more communists” — that made the audience gasp.

Maher praised their reaction, saying he was “glad” they were shocked.

Glenn is encouraged too — but even more so that it’s Bill Maher who’s sounding the alarm.

“We're in a moment here right now, and Bill Maher may be the most important man on the planet to stop this,” he says.

“Everything he said in that entire monologue, and I urge you to go watch the whole thing and then share it, is published. It's sitting public,” he adds, emphasizing the DSA’s unapologetic communist sentiments.

The country, Glenn says, needs to understand the gravity of the situation we’re in right now right as the DSA grows ever more popular.

On its website, beneath its spiel about creating a communist utopia, is a list of objectives that ought to make our blood run cold. Glenn reads several of them:

  • “Abolishing the police and prison system”;
  • “Abolishing the Senate”;
  • “Abolishing the electoral college”;
  • “Replacing the president and the Supreme Court with an executive and judiciary chosen by Congress, answerable only to Congress”;
  • “Defunding the Department of War”;
  • “Closing all of our overseas bases”;
  • “Abolishing ICE”;
  • “End to all detention and deportation”;
  • “Amnesty for everyone regardless of status”; and
  • “End to sanctions on Cuba, Venezuela, and Iran.”

“And in the preamble, the sentence that ties the whole thing together, they are building a party to draft a new Constitution and to create a new Democratic Socialist republic,” Glenn adds.

Many people, he notes, mistakenly believe that DSA supporters are “fringe,” but they’re wrong.

“This isn't a small organization anymore. On the Fourth of July, they announced they passed 121,000 members, which according to their own numbers, makes them the largest socialist organization in American history, larger than Eugene Debs’ socialist party at its peak in 1912,” says Glenn.

“Also, the Marxist Unity Group Faction, the one that Maher named, holds three of the 25 seats on that national board. Five of their members won congressional primaries this year,” he adds, noting that the “loudest voices” calling out the DSA right now are actually Democrats.

Right now, the most important thing, says Glenn, is not that we “beat” the DSA; it’s that we “provide the introduction” to the DSA, like Maher did for his audience, so that the public can see firsthand the evil agenda it has planned for the country.
