A New York Times poll shows 60% of Democratic voters are now more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israelis. Only 15% lean toward Israel. This is not a fringe position in today's Democratic Party — it is the majority view, and it is reshaping who can run for president in 2028.

The episode's second major topic arrives with the results of New York's Democratic congressional primaries: a clean sweep for Mamdani-backed candidates. [1] — Katty Kay "Zohran Mamdani backed three Democratic Socialist candidates in New York's congressional primaries and swept all three. In the 10th District…" 29:56 Katty Kay had warned that this was a real test for the newly elected New York City mayor — three endorsements, all Democratic Socialists of America, all in races where a failure would have undermined his political authority. He passed. The race that most crystallised the moment was New York's 10th District, where Dan Goldman — a sitting congressman, Jewish, a self-described liberal Zionist — was beaten by Brad Lander, also Jewish, also a liberal Zionist, but one who had been far more forthright in condemning Israel's conduct in Gaza and was willing to use the word genocide. The result, Kay argues, is not just about the economics of democratic socialism; it reflects a genuine inflection point in American public opinion on Israel. [2] — Katty Kay "A New York Times poll shows 60% of Democratic voters are now more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israelis. Only 15% lean toward Israel. T…" 31:06 A New York Times poll she cites makes the scale of the shift stark: 60% of Democratic voters are now more sympathetic to Palestinians than Israelis, and only 15% are more sympathetic to Israelis. Scaramucci acknowledges Mamdani has built a Trump-like endorsement machine in New York, but warns the country may not be ready for this direction — if Democrats go this way nationally, he predicts Republicans take back the presidency and the House in 2028.
Zohran Mamdani backed three Democratic Socialist candidates in New York's congressional primaries and all three won, demonstrating his growing power in the Democratic Party.
Zohran Mamdani backed three Democratic Socialist candidates in New York's congressional primaries and swept all three. In the 10th District, Dan Goldman — a Jewish liberal Zionist — was beaten for being insufficiently critical of Israel. Democratic voters have moved on this issue faster than their party knows.

The same New York Times poll found only 15% of Democrats are now more sympathetic to Israelis than Palestinians, a dramatic shift in party opinion.
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.
