Episode notes
Gracie Mansion IED Attack And ISIS Inspiration
- Ben Shapiro recounts the Gracie Mansion rally where two ISIS-inspired attackers threw IEDs at an anti-Islamist protest outside the mayor’s home.
- He describes footage, arrests, IED contents (nuts, bolts, 'mother of Satan' concoction) and suspects' Turkey travel and ISIS inspiration.
Mayor Statement Framed Protesters Not Terrorists
- Ben Shapiro highlights New York mayor Zohran Mamdani's statements condemning the protesters but omitting any identification or condemnation of the Islamist attackers.
- He argues the omission frames Lang's protest as the primary wrongdoing and obscures that ISIS-affiliated individuals threw the bombs.
Polls Show Most Democrats Are Mainstream
- Shapiro cites a Manhattan Institute poll showing most Democrats hold mainstream views on Israel, immigration, and trans sports, contradicting radical narratives.
- He uses the data to argue political elites shift toward extremes to court a vocal grievance base that is actually a minority.
