Who Elected Comrade Mamdani, How to Test Negative for Stupid & a Pilgrimage to Israel Week In Review

from Verdict with Ted Cruz · host iHeartPodcasts

🗳️ U.S. Election Analysis The speakers describe the recent election as a “disaster” for conservatives, with high turnout among left-wing voters, particularly young women. Zohran Mamdani, referred to repeatedly as “Comrade Mandani,” is portrayed as a symbol of far-left politics, with accusations of communism and ties to wealthy donors like Alex Soros. Detailed demographic breakdowns are given for voter support in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia, highlighting gender gaps and educational differences. Young women (ages 18–29) overwhelmingly supported Democratic candidates. Voters with advanced or bachelor’s degrees leaned toward Mamdani, while those with less education favored Cuomo. Newer residents of NYC (less than 5 years) were more likely to vote for Mamdani than native New Yorkers. 📚 Book Promotion & Personal Stories Senator John Kennedy promotes his book “How to Test Negative for Stupid and Why Washington Never Will.” He shares personal anecdotes about his upbringing, legal career, and entry into politics. The tone is humorous and self-deprecating, with jokes about Washington, Chuck Schumer, and political bumper stickers. 🇮🇱 Trip to Israel & War Commentary Ben recounts a visit to Israel, including meetings with victims of Hezbollah rocket attacks and families of children killed while playing soccer. Descriptions of psychological warfare, hostage situations, and military operations (like the “pager attack” targeting Hezbollah leaders) are included. The trip is framed as both a spiritual pilgrimage and a political mission, with references to Christian faith and biblical sites.   Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
