New York Has Fallen: A Morning Wake-Up Call on Socialist Politics and Social Decline
The political landscape shifts beneath our feet as New York City welcomes a self-proclaimed socialist as its Democratic mayoral nominee. Zoran Mamdani's shocking victory over former Governor Andrew Cuomo signals a profound transformation in one of America's most influential cities. With a decisive seven-point lead and 43.51% of primary votes, this 33-year-old Queens assemblyman has defied expectations and polls alike, leaving many wondering about the future of urban governance.
The success of progressive messaging in normalizing socialist policies can't be understated. Years of activism and campaigning have cultivated a generation of voters who embrace far-left politics without fully understanding the historical implications. This electoral upset didn't happen overnight but represents the culmination of a deliberate strategy to reshape American political discourse, particularly among younger urban voters who find socialism increasingly appealing.
Beyond politics, we examine RFK Jr.'s controversial proposal for Americans to embrace wearable health-tracking technology. The fundamental flaw in this approach is clear - health improvement requires uncomfortable lifestyle changes, not just passive data collection. Simply counting steps while continuing poor dietary habits won't address America's health crisis. True wellness demands meaningful behavioral changes, including reduced consumption of processed foods and committed exercise routines that push physical boundaries.
Perhaps most disturbing is the shocking incident at Disneyland Paris, where park staff discovered what appeared to be a wedding ceremony between a 22-year-old British man and a 9-year-old Ukrainian girl. This $150,000 "event" was reportedly an elaborate social media stunt involving paid actors and exploitation of a child. Multiple arrests followed, including the child's mother, raising profound questions about the moral decay that drives such behavior in pursuit of online attention.

Well, hello and good morning, Happy Wednesday. New York has fallen. It has been captured by the enemy. This is not a joke. This is not a joke. I'm not being funny or overreactive, no, I am not. New york city has fallen.
Speaker 1:Andrew cuomo concedes as zoron mamdani wins new york city democratic mayoral primary in the stunning upset. Stunning, I mean, it's not really. It is kind of stunning, but not really, because it's been predicted that he was going to win. It's crazy. These people have have voted for a communist, basically a socialist communist. Read about him. If you don't know about him, read about him. And I know people are making fun of him because he, you know, made a rap video. Ha ha ha, yeah, look where this got us, look where this got you. New york city, this making fun and, haha, not taking it serious. Well, there you go. Dark horse socialist. And he's not even trying to hide it, he is a proud socialist.
Speaker 1:I watched a free press video on youtube. It was on their shorts. Look up on YouTube, the free press, just, I guess, look up under their channel. Look up Zoran Mamdani. And this reporter went around interviewing people about why, who they're going to vote for in the primary. And one guy. Oh, I like him because he rides the subway. He's a man of the people. Bullshit what. This is a result of aoc and her making socialism seem cool and hip. So that campaign from aoc was actually successful. So there you go. From AOC was actually successful. So there you go.
Speaker 1:These young people. We have failed our young people. And again, was it even taught in school? No, because we were taught DEI shit in school, not me. I wasn't. I was taught the right stuff. So this is a huge, big push all over the place, in schools, everywhere, in medical industry, everywhere. This shit is being pushed, has been pushed for decades, and now we're seeing the results. Alright, tonight we made history. Mom Donnie told supporters at his victory party after midnight In the words of Nelson Mandela it always seems impossible until it is done. My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City.
Speaker 1:The 33-year-old Queens assemblyman defined polls and expectations as he notched a likely, insurmountable seven-point lead over Cuomo, the three-term governor who hoped to make a political comeback after resigning in disgrace in 2021. Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won A seemingly shell-shocked Cuomo 67, said as he conceded to Mamdani the first round of the ranked choice voting contest had Mamdani ahead with 43.51% of the votes, followed by Cuomo at 36 and city comptroller Brad Lander at 11. Board of Election officials results show Mamdani carried roughly 432,000 votes to Cuomo's 362,000 votes.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh, y'all this is bad, so bad, just bad. Just you wait and see. Hopefully there will be a mass exodus from New York City. Hopefully these people will move out and just let it crumble. I hate to say that, but I mean, what else can you do at this point? Let the young, let the people with the money, the older people with the money, move out of DC. Move out of DC, move out of New York City, and let the young people have their little socialism in that city and see how that works out for them. Go ahead, go ahead, all right.
Speaker 1:Next up, rfk Jr. Look after reading that book the Kennedys and the women they destroyed by Maureen Callahan. Oh my gosh, I see RFK Jr a little bit different now. Jr, rfkj a little bit different now. Not so much liking him, especially what he did to his wife that committed suicide and her family. No, I don't like him at all.
Speaker 1:But now you know, as the Health and Human Services Secretary Robert. He wants all Americans to use wearable data collecting technology, such as Fitbits, aura Rings and Apple Watches, to promote healthier lifestyles. Look, sir, these wearable technologies. First of all, they've been out forever. People wear them. They do not work. They're not going to make you lose weight just because you're aware of something. And I'm sorry, but these little 10 000 steps a day no, obviously not working.
Speaker 1:No, you have to get uncomfortable. If you want to be healthy, you have to learn how to get uncomfortable. You have to stop eating junk food. You have to stop eating crap and sugar and white flour and you have to exercise. You have to push yourself, not go for a leisurely stroll. I mean, that's good. At least it's movement.
Speaker 1:You know, I understand some people can't. I understand that. I understand some people can't because they have issues. Whatever, I understand I'm not talking about them. I'm talking about younger people who are fat from sitting home, playing video games, not being going out and being social with their fucking faces stuck in a phone or the video games.
Speaker 1:No, these wearable things are not going to. It's not the answer. It's not. Will it be helpful? I don't think so. I don't think so. All right, I'm sorry, I need to move on to a different topic and I've lost my place here.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, so if you want to go read that, you can. If you think it's we're going to work, go for it, but you know I don't think so, all right, last one oh my gosh, have you seen this story about Disney Paris booked for sick, sick, $150,000 wedding between an adult man and a nine-year-old girl? This is again from the New York Post and they're now they're calling it some kind of stunt. It wasn't real. They hired people to come in and be a part of this wedding. They even hired actors to be like the little girl's dad. Uh, this is weird. Okay, I don't even know what the fuck is going on here. Excuse my language. Uh, I'm just. I'm just, I don't even know what to say. Disneyland park, disney. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1:Disneyland Paris workers were horrified to find a large wedding they were hosting was between a man and a nine-year-old girl, with the groom and child bride's mom arrested in what is now thought to have been a sick, $150,000 social media stunt. First of all, why are you? Why is this a stunt? Why would you do this? The french amusement park had been hired early saturday for the ceremony in front of the sleeping beauty castle, with no warning that the bride was just a child. Some 300 guests and a string quartet arrived around 5 am, before the park was open for the regular tourists, with horrified employees, only then seeing how young the bride was. The scared and confused little girl was wearing a wedding dress and five-inch heels taped to her feet.
Speaker 1:Staff police who arrested four of those involved, including the would-be groom, a 22-year-old British national. They also arrested the 41-year-old mother of the nine-year-old girl, both of whom had arrived in Paris from Ukraine two days before the sixth ceremony. Police also arrested two Latvian nationals a 24-year-old woman recruited to play the role of the bride's sister and a 55-year-old recruited to act as the father. What in the world why? The latter, who initiated the call to Disneyland Paris security, explained that he had been recruited to play the role of the bride's father for $13,000 and had discovered at the last minute that the bride was nine years old. He, the deputy prosecutor, said the French prosecutors are looking at whether the wedding was a sick stunt for social media, one that cost at least $150,000.
Speaker 1:An ad was published online days earlier asking for extras including 200 adults and 100 children between the ages of 5 and 15 to take part in a high-end wedding rehearsal. So why? The oblivious extras met around 4 am Saturday in Paris where a bus was waiting to take them to Disneyland. But at 6 am park staff asked them to leave. We all thought we were going to attend a wedding. Everyone was stunned. No one expected it.
Speaker 1:Disneyland did things very well. They canceled everything as soon as they realized the bride was a child. We were shocked to see that they continued oh my gosh, you can go finish reading that. I don't know what's going to become of that. Hopefully they're arrested. But you know, these days being arrested doesn't mean anything. They'll be out on bail. That in hours, if, if, bail at all. But that's paris. I don't know what they're. I don't know what their justice system is over there. Uh, so I don't know. That is just bad. I don't understand. I don't understand. All right is just bad. I don't understand. I don't understand. All right, I've been over my time, my 10 minutes. I need to get to the question of the day. Okay, speaking of weddings, tell me about your wedding. What was the most memorable day of your wedding Day? Not the nighttime, okay, not that part. I want to know your most memorable day of your wedding. Okay, keep it clean. Keep it clean, all right, gotta go love y'all bye.
