Zohran Causes Total Meltdown of Mainstream Media as He Dominates Race

0:04All right, there is something happening right now across the nation that is coming to a climax in New York. And it is the Democratic Party and the feeling that the base and even base adjacent people feel that the Democratic leadership are folders, not fighters, and that they are too beholden to corporate interests. And all of this is coming to a head in this New York mayoral race. And because Zoran Mamdani is so good at this, he is excellent at campaigning. It is breaking a lot of people. Like they are completely breaking over this. They are saying that he's a jihadist, horrible Islamophobic attacks on him.

0:51They are saying that one night he went out and ate sushi with his wife for her birthday or his, I can't remember, that he's, you know, an asshole. Imagine running against Andrew Cuomo. And the only thing they can find against him is that he went to an expensive sushi restaurant. But somebody has been continually breaking. Somebody that I used to watch frequently earlier in my political junkie days, and that's Bill Maher, being an atheist in a Bible Belt. My mother and I always watched Bill Maher because it was interesting to see somebody who thought the way we thought about religion. And ever since, I would say, Trump's middle of Biden's second term, middle of Biden's term all the way to Trump's second term, he just continually seems to break and break and break.

1:43And has completely, seems to me, gotten quasi red pilled as somebody who watched him for years and years. And I haven't been able to watch him in the last four or five. But here he is saying one of the most intellectually lazy takes I've ever heard on Mom Donnie. Play the clip. The issue now that Andrew Cuomo is bringing up in New York is that he is a Ugandan citizen. Uganda is a country where they kill homosexuals. So somebody who is a dual citizen can't be mayor of New York? I would renounce, if I was the dual citizen with a country whose policy, government policy, was we kill homosexuals, yeah, I would renounce that citizenship.

2:27I don't, and to not, and. I think that is buying into a fear, I think that is buying into a fear framework that is not good. A fear of killing homosexuals, yes. It's not good for the country. It's not good for the country. You shouldn't be afraid of that. I think the way that Cuomo is closing out this race and really race baiting and really leaning in on what if he was there. You know what, just because it's done. I don't think that's good for the country. I understand. But just because something is done by people in Africa doesn't mean it's always okay. But you said race baiting. It has nothing to do with race.

3:02Oh, I'm talking about what Cuomo's doing, suggesting that Mambani couldn't be a leader in a terror situation if he were mayor of New York and, God forbid, something else like 9-11 happened. He campaigned with a terrorist this week. He did say it. Well, but Cuomo was pretty clear, I thought, in the way he talked about that, in a way that I thought was ugly. Well, he campaigned this week with a guy who was an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and served as a character witness for Omar Abdel Rahman, the terrorist who organized it. So Sarah Palin used to say, Obama palled around the terrorists, which was bullshit.

3:37But... I just don't know if this is... a great look for the party. I really don't. Okay. Let me tackle why this is so intellectually dishonest and intellectually lazy. Number one, his notion that Zoran Mamdani should get rid of his Ugandan citizenship because the government will kill homosexuals. I want all liberals across the United States of America to understand what happens in Bible Stealth. Bible Belt states. You have politicians that actively talk about wanting to kill homosexuals or sentencing them to death. Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense's own pastor and his own church, has said these same things.

4:31But my home city of Oklahoma City has a person that works at City Hall. Kylie put up the headline. Polite and friendly in his OKC job. In other gigs, as church leader, he says gay people should be lined up and executed. And look at the timestamp on that, everybody. May 28th, 2025. This isn't old. This is the emboldened MAGA movement. So by Bill Maher's logic, it's only these far off African or Middle Eastern countries that want to do this execution style punitive treatment to homosexuals. When in actuality, those of us liberal liberals that live in red states have been sounding the alarm on this year after year after year after year that listen, these evangelicals and this mega church culture where they dress it up with their shitty architecture and they have the dunk tank and they have the rock band and the pastor that wears true religion jeans and has a stylist.

5:34underneath all of that flash, there is horrific homophobia to the tune that they think these people should not live. And I encourage the Bill Mares of the world to go live in a red state, in a suburb, and embed yourself in American evangelical culture. And you will find that they have everything in common with these other religious whack job governments. So by his logic, I should disown Oklahoma and disown Oklahoma City because they have people that work in the government that want to kill homosexuals. But let's just take a stroll down memory lane here and let's talk about, he also says that Zoran piled around with the terrorists.

6:29Well, the fact of the matter about this, listener and pumps, is that this Imam that he was photographed with, Zoran Mamdani, Bill de Blasio was photographed with, and so was Eric Adams. So he doesn't tell the full story there. And any politician at any point in their campaigning, as they go to different religious leaders, you know, I think you have, I remember during some of the races with Obama, They said he was a Muslim. Then another point, his pastor was too radical into civil rights, et cetera. But if we're going to talk about who you hang out with and whether that's qualifying or disqualifying, I would like for Kylie to put up now the image of Trump.

7:15This is just a couple of days ago on Air Force One with the leaders of Qatar. And this Meacham doctor on Twitter tweets an image of Kanks. You can see the stroke, you know, his lip, look at his right lip going downwards from the mini stroke that he had. MAGA, we can't let Muslims have political influence in America. Also MAGA, this. I also want to point out that Kanks hangs out with the guy who killed Khashoggi in Saudi Arabia. And these people are terrorists. The Qataris fund terrorism. And so it's just really rich to me that Bill Maher just cherry picks because Bill Maher is an atheist, but at the epicenter of a lot of his atheism is a preference to hate Muslims the most.

8:15and there is some embedded Islamophobia in there. And I just think it's such a cheap, intellectually lazy shot at Zoran Mamdani, the way he teed that up. It was such a right-wing talking point. Okay, I'm sorry. I bogarted the mic, but I wanted to lay that out for you, Pumps. Now, what do you think of that? I look at all this uproar about Zoran Mamdani, and obviously they know he's going to win. I think we can check that mark off the list. But here's the thing. I also think it's the compound thoughts and feelings. Like Democrats are supposed to be able to do two things at once. Bill Maher at one point could do two things at once.

8:55Just because you have citizenships in two countries doesn't mean that you can't be conflict free and do the best for the city you're elected to represent. Like, I don't understand. It's kind of like you have to pay protesters to go to the No Kings rally. No, we'll do it for free. Just because I have citizenship in America doesn't mean that I don't think that Canada is in the right with all this Trump from all this stuff with Trump. I mean, like, why do you have to assume that people cannot hold two values, two thoughts at the same time? I think the point he was trying to make was that because it is a crime that is punishable by death to be homosexual in Uganda, if Zoran Mamdami is this champion for universal human rights, he should get rid of that citizenship on principle.

9:51I believe that's the point that he was making. Trust me, if he were a citizen of France and the United States, nobody would be having this conversation. The elephant in the room, Pumps, is the Muslim portion of this. That's what primes him to all of this critique. Yet, yet, the United States government, particularly Kanks, Kushner, and all of these others, have no problem with the funders of Hamas, which is Qatar. They have no problem with egregious human rights violators and mass murderers Saudi Arabia. They have no problem engaging in their sports washing, comedy washing, insane washing of the new rollout that these horrific regimes want to do.

10:40And I want to remind everybody, the funders of the World Trade Center bombings on 9-11 was Saudi Arabia. And the last time I checked, Trump was over there juggling an orb, running around looking like a nut in Saudi Arabia. But here's a video, if we're going to talk about, if we follow Bill Maher's logic that Zoran Mamdani should disown his Ugandan citizenship, then every American that disagrees with Kanks should get rid of their American citizenship. Because here we have Kanks, and I've already talked about him, cozying up with the funders of 9-11, cozying up with the funders of Hamas, cozying up with war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu.

11:25Here he is cozying up with a murderous dictator, enemy of America, whom he greeted and rolled out the red carpet for. Play the clip.

11:37So there he is with one of our biggest adversaries. And then finally, per Bill Maher's argument, if we are to get rid of our citizenship based on policies of our country, country's leaders, and deny that part of our being, because I will always be an American and I disagree with everything that this regime is doing. And I hate pedophiles and I think they should be exposed. And I think that we should sanitize the whole thing and release all the files. But look at this. Yeah, look at the company that Kanks keeps. Look at the company that he keeps. And then finally, this is why Bill Maher is able to say that, because he does this double play and this moral duplicity better than anybody.

12:34And Bill Maher was the guy who was terrified of Mitt Romney and donated$1 million to Barack Obama's campaign. Bill Maher is the guy who said Kanks will not leave the White House in Trump 1.0. He said it over and over and over again. and everybody said he was crazy, and he was 100 % right. But something broke in him, like breaks in so many people. And here he is right here, having dinner with Kid Rock and Kanks at the Oval Office. And Kanks is the guy who pals around with terrorists, Bill Maher, lots of them. He pals around with a lot of terrorists, more than anybody else ever has in the history of America.

13:21You have no problem going and kissing the ring and then thumbing your nose at the people who used to listen to you because you were a progressive thought leader. But in the last five or six years, that statement she made about Mom Donnie is so rooted in your own personal feeling that you dislike all religions, which I share that with you. But your own personal feeling that Islam is more of the mother load, to quote Sam Harris, more of the mother load of bad ideas than any other religion anywhere. And that even a moderate Muslim like Zoran Mamdani, who's creating a sanctuary city for LGBTQ plus people, is somehow some jihadist terrorist.

14:03You just, you're smarter than that. You know better than that. You know that there are millions of Muslims that are Muslim-like, that don't believe in having a bunch of wives, that are not jihadists, and etc. Yet you continue to carry on these Islamophobic stereotypes and tropes. And that's why everybody's so terrified of Zoran. Because they're going to see somebody who is Muslim, but that's over here because we live in a secular society. But fights for the poor, fights for trans kids, fights for drag queens, fights for books, doesn't pal around with war criminals and terrorists like Benjamin Netanyahu, like Kanks does.

14:51So the person who pals around with the terrorist Bill Maher is Kanks. It's him. He's the one that does that, not Zoran Mamdani. And this is nothing more than bigotry and racism in motion wrapped up as I am a thought leader. And I just think it's such bullshit. And maybe this works on your new MAGA base that watches your show, but I just thought it was disgraceful, intellectually lazy, and intellectually dishonest.
