NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani ran an ad during the NBA Finals backing three radical congressional candidates. All three won — Daria-Liza Chevalier in NY-13, Brad Lander in NY-10, and Claire Valdez in NY-7. Shapiro calls it the beachhead the DSA needed.

Drawing directly on Vladimir Lenin's own writings about purging moderate communists, Shapiro maps the DSA's strategy onto a historical revolutionary template. Step 1: take over the deepest blue areas with radical candidates and replace even far-left incumbents. Step 2: claim those victories represent a national wave, even if turnout was low, and let social media do the amplification work — aimed at 12 to 30-year-olds living online. Step 3: threaten every moderate Democrat with primary challenges until they capitulate. Shapiro invokes Dostoevsky's 'The Demons' to illustrate how radicals have always exploited the sentimentality of liberal fellow-travelers. Step 4: rinse and repeat. The goal isn't to win the presidency immediately — it's to capture a major party, which gives any movement at least a 40% shot at national power.

The DSA is running a Lenin-style playbook to capture the Democratic Party from within. Step 1: take over deep-blue districts with radical candidates. Step 2: declare a national movement. Step 3: terrorize moderate Democrats into submission. Step 4: repeat until one major party is theirs — and then wait for your shot at the White House.
Daria-Liza Chevalier, who won the NY-13 Democratic primary, was a co-founder of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, the group associated with Mahmoud Khalil that called for the eradication of Western civilization.
According to CNN, congressional primary winner Daria-Liza Chevalier deleted approximately 3,600 tweets between 2018 and 2022.
All three candidates endorsed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani in a TV ad aired during the NBA Finals won their Democratic congressional primaries.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
