The Pride-Palestine Flag: The Left's Replacement for America

At 34:50 · chapter starts 32:20

From a photo of a hybrid Palestine-trans flag at the Seattle Pride March, Shapiro constructs a thesis: abandoning the American flag doesn't stop at the Eagles banner or the Pride flag — it ends at the coalition of radical Islam and trans activism, united by shared opposition to American founding values. Zohran Mamdani, the NYC mayoral candidate backed by the DSA, serves as his primary exhibit. Shapiro notes that Mamdani attended the Pakistan Day Parade in Brooklyn — Pakistan being an Islamist state that criminalizes homosexuality — while skipping the Israel Day Parade. In a clip, Mamdani tells ABC's John Karl he cannot support Israel 'as a Jewish state' because he opposes any state that 'privileges one religion.' Shapiro also plays a clip of Abdul El-Sayed, likely Michigan Senate nominee, attacking Chuck Schumer and AIPAC, and DSA member David Jenkins openly declaring his goal is 'communism.' He frames the whole bloc as a 'takeover' of the Democratic Party.

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.
