It's basically introducing communism into the United States of America. There's never been anything so dangerous. It really is something we haven't seen in the United States of America in the history of our politics. These are Mandami's people. These are Democratic Socialists, I think very different than the Democratic Party.

Narrator/Host
A few years ago, the Democratic Socialists of America were a fringe curiosity. There were some professors, some students, a handful of local activists. Today they're kingmakers. Electing members of Congress, city councilors, big city mayors. And on paper, the DSA looks like a dues funded grassroots movement that's fighting capitalism and racial injustice. But when you look under the hood, you find something far more nefarious. Foreign aligned foundations, Islamist pacts, globalist climate networks and Marxist billionaires all converging inside of a party within a party. So who are the Democratic Socialists of America really? Who's backing them? And what happens to the west if they win? This is the story behind the story of the Democratic Socialists of America. Keeping it real with Jillian Michaels. For decades the DSA was small, intellectual and marginal. A few thousand members, mostly reading groups and policy circles. But today the DSA is the largest socialist organization in the United States with tens of thousands of dues paying members and hundreds of chapters in almost every major metro area. Now most of us hear Democratic Socialists and we think of Scandinavian style welfare states, higher taxes, more safety nets, free education and health care. But DSA's platform goes much further and is much darker than that economically. The DSA wants social ownership of the major industries that run American life. Energy, housing, finance and even tech. So in plain terms, they want to strip control and profit away from private owners and investors and hand it to the state to worker ownership and community co ops. And while this may sound like a utopia, Venezuela ran this exact experiment on energy. And its oil industry was privately held until 1976, until the government nationalized it and created a state company called PDVSA to take full control. And to make a long story short, it was a disaster that left a country sitting on the largest oil reserves on Earth defined by blackouts and fuel lines. And on top of that, DSA calls for a 32 hour work week at full pay. Universal Medicare, free college, mass student debt cancellation and universal childcare, turning basic services into guaranteed rights funded by this more collectively controlled economy. France tried that, a mandatory 35 hour work week in 2000, and they sold it as more time off for the same pay. But of course, it didn't work. A parliamentary committee found that the policy cost France More than $13 billion a year. And the IMF found that it failed to create jobs and actually reduced employment for the workers that it covered. So the French didn't get more leisure time and the same paycheck. They ended up with higher costs and fewer jobs. Within just a few years of this, by the way, lawmakers were already dismantling. Quebec ran the closest thing to DSA's childcare policy. Government subsidized care for every family. Decades in the wait list for a subsidized spot topped 50,000 kids. And numerous studies found that the program produced measurably worse outcomes for kids. More hyperactivity, more aggression, more anxiety. This is what happens when you let the state raise your children. Universal, by the way, didn't mean accessible. And free didn't mean better. It meant a government run system that couldn't keep up with the demand it created while the families it was supposed to help waited for years for a spot. And that's the pattern with every plank in the list, from free college, debt cancellation, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. But then you've got their position on policing in prisons. And they don't just want reform. The long term horizon is abolition. So in the short term, it's defund, shrink, decriminalize, and cash bail and dismantle what they call the prison industrial complex. Well, Minneapolis ran that full experiment. In 2020, nine of the 13 council members stood under a banner reading Defund the police. And they pledged to begin the process of ending the Minneapolis Police Department. And they followed through. And they cut more than $10 million from the 2020 budget and another $20 million in 2021. And predictably, the department collapsed. A third of the force quit or retired. The city went from roughly 900 officers to 560 officers. Carjackings rose more than 500%. Murders hit historic highs. And more than 24,000 bullets were fired in Minneapolis in 2020 alone. On immigration, the platform is effectively open border politics. Stop deportations, shut down detention, give status and social rights to all immigrants. I mean, I don't think I need to tell you how that one goes, because we've all been living it. Internationally, the DSA pushes for withdrawal from NATO opposition to US military interventions and an end to sanctions on regimes like Cuba, Russia and Iran. Israel, however, is a colonial apartheid state and they're the ones that must be choked out through boycott, divestment and sanctions campaigns and cut off from all US support. Now the climate is their lever for total change. The goal is not necessarily green energy, but to use the climate crisis to justify taking over the entire economy. A Green New Deal means government seizing fossil fuel companies instead of regulating them, shutting down oil and gas and guaranteeing every displaced worker a government job in green sectors. And the DSA wants to go further with degrowth, the idea that rich countries should deliberately produce and consume less. They literally want to shrink the economy on purpose. So put simply, DSA is not trying to tweak the system, they're trying to destroy it and move beyond capitalism, beyond borders, beyond police and prisons, and beyond US global leadership. Now how is it that so many people have signed up for this, you ask? Well, the pipeline starts on campus. Young Democratic Socialists of America, otherwise known as the ydsa. They do the recruiting and students engage in Marxist reading groups and boycott, divest and sanction campaigns, union drives, defund police and anti ICE protests. And it looks like student activism because these kids don't realize that they are being trained and co opted for a generational project, absorbing a platform crafted by the foreign states and globalist networks funding the infrastructure around them. Qatar, for example, has donated roughly $7.7 billion to American universities, making it the single largest foreign donor of any country on earth. Well, Israel has given approximately 419 million over the same period. So in other words, Qatar outspends Israel on US campus influence by a ratio of more than 18 to 1. The universities function like a farm system and the progression is mechanical. A YDSA member becomes a DSA chapter organizer. The organizer becomes a campaign staffer or an NGO hire embedded inside the institutions that actually run American cities. And they don't graduate out of the movement, they graduate into its professional class. Staffers from Mamdani and Nithya Raman, organizers at George Soros, funded NGOs, policy analysts at foreign backed foundations, producers at Singham linked media shops. So the campus is the mouth of the funnel and City hall is the other end. Now on paper, DSA elected officials look like ordinary Democrats. They've got a D next to their name and they run on the Democratic ballot line. But inside the organization. The leading caucuses openly describe the Democrats as a party surrogate, a host body that they use for its ballot access and brand while they build their own socialist machine underneath it. They're not joining the Democrat Party. They're feeding off of it like a parasite, using the DNC as a temporary host that they can hollow out and eventually discard once their own party within a party is strong enough to stand on its own. And they call it the Dirty Break Strategy. And they literally refer to the DNC as a temporary surrogate. Their words, not mine. In fact, DSA members Megan Day and Micah Utrecht spelled it out in their book Bigger Than Bernie. The strategy they wrote is to go beyond the two party system by going through it. And when a DSA candidate wins, they don't walk into office as a free thinking leader for their constituents. They walk in pre bound before they ever get DSA's endorsement, before a single door is knocked, before a dollar is raised on their behalf. Candidates have to complete an 87 question survey. They've got to appear before DSA members at live forums and pass multiple rounds of internal votes. And then as a formal condition of endorsement, they have to agree in advance to join the Socialists in Office Committee if they're elected. Now this is not a ceremonial title. It's a standing body that meets weekly where elected officials sit alongside unelected DSA branch leaders, working group reps and activists, none of whom answer to anyone outside of the organization. And there legislation gets debated and the committee votes internally on a unified position. And once it adopts one, every legislator in the room is expected to vote as a bloc in the assembly and the Senate together every time, regardless of what any individual member might privately believe. And DSA doesn't hide what this is. Its own internal documents describe the SIO as an accountability mechanism to bind DSA politicians to the grassroots movement. The lawmakers themselves have called the arrangement co governance.
DSA Member/Activist
Having a DSA elected is nearly useless if they aren't using their legislative power, district services and platform to help us actually achieve our real goals on housing, unions, healthcare and more. They have to be actively organized and worked with as comrades so that we can use the power of their offices in our larger fights, agreeing to share
Narrator/Host
the power they hold as elected officials with the organization, not the constituents who voted for them. Zoran Mamdani said it out loud. I'm being accountable to a mass movement. And one New York DSA leader put it even more plainly. We wrote the platform with him. Their real boss isn't the Democrat Party or even their district. It's the organization that holds their endorsements, their volunteers, their donor network, their media muscle. Keep in line and you rise as part of the machine. Break with the line and you risk political exile. Do their bidding or else. That's not a party, it's a cult like organization. And when you join it, it's you sell your political soul. And every DSA win seeds another like so a DSA aligned NGO backs a candidate using private and foundation money. Right now the candidate wins and once they're in power, public dollars start to enter the loop. And that now elected official is going to steer city contracts, government jobs, advisory seats and grant money back to those same NGOs, giving them more staff, more money, more influence and more reach for the next election cycle when they run a bigger operation for the next DSA candidate. And that's how it works, literally. Maudani's campaign manager, El Bisgard Church, now chairs the Mayor's Fund, which is a nonprofit embedded inside city government that controls roughly $66 million a year in grants across 50 different agencies. And she has already doled out millions to the groups that helped elect him. So here are just a couple of examples. You've got community voices heard who endorsed him now. They took $2.6 million from George Soros Open Society Network to help fund Mamdani's civic engagement operations. And now they're getting city housing investments from his administration. Here's another one. Make the Road New York. They also took three and a half million from George Soros Open Society Network to help fund Mamdani's canvassing campaign. And they're tied in to the same mayor's funding apparatus. And the list goes on and on and on. But if you think that's alarming. Tasha Van Auken is a longtime DSA organizer who ran Mamdani's field operation. The day after his inauguration, Mamdani created a brand new government office called the Office of Mass Engagement. And he put her in charge of it. And its stated mission, in Van Aken's own words, was to turn campaign style participation into a lasting feature of governance. You wondering what that actually means and why it's so frickin corrupt? Well, when an election ends, the campaign ends, the candidate governs. And those two things are kept separate on purpose because using government resources to run political operations is corruption. What Mamdani did is eliminate that line entirely. He didn't hire a campaign aide into a normal government job. He turned the campaign itself into a government agency with city staff, city authority and Your tax dollars behind it. So his opponents have to raise money to run their next campaign. But Mamdani has a permanently staffed, city funded organizing operation running between elections, pointed at anyone who stands in his way. So you're paying for this whether you voted for him or not. That's a political takeover of a public institution. The campaign didn't end. It became the government. And DSA's Field General is running it from inside City Hall.

And what looks like the musings of an inexperienced ideologue is actually a covert DSA land grab. And here's how it works. Step one, engineer the crisis. Freeze rents. Let costs rise. Watch buildings deteriorate. Step two, install the enforcer. Mamdani puts Sia Weaver, a DSA aligned organizer who's publicly called for abolishing private property, in charge of the new mayor's office to protect tenants.
Housing Policy Expert
I think the reality is, is that for centuries we've really treated property as an individualized good and not a collective good. And we are going to, in transitioning to treating it as a collective good and towards a model of shared equity, will require that we think about it differently. And it will mean that families, especially white families, but some POC families who are homeowners as well, are going to have a different relationship to property than the one that we currently have.
Narrator/Host
Her office runs the inspections, writes the violations and triggers the legal process that can ultimately strip a landlord of their building. Step three, build the trap. Enough violations. Land a building on the city's enforcement list. And once it's there, a law that Mamdani is pushing forces the landlord to offer the building to an approved list of nonprofits before any private buyer can touch it. Now, who approved that list? The city's housing agency. Who runs that agency? Mamdani's own appointees. And if the law he's pushing doesn't pass, the administration is already planning to force the same seizures anyway, using existing housing court loopholes and aggressive code enforcement. Step four, hand it to your own people. So who are these responsible stewards that Mamdani keeps mentioning? Community land Trust nonprofits tied to a 200 organization coalition coordinated by the New Economy Project, which is a group that openly advocates moving land out of corporate hands and into democratic community control. And they work hand in glove with the dsa. The DSA Queens Housing Working Group is also a part of that coalition, and they have spent five years pushing the this exact law. So these are not neutral charities. They're the same political network that elected Mamdani, raising money for him, knocking doors, running his field operation. And now they're first in line for the buildings that his administration targets. Tablet magazine calls it a property seizure machine. Freeze rents, pile on violations, eliminate the owner's income and control, and then transfer the building to a DSA connected nonprofit that the city has already approved. And according to Tablet's analysis, the end game is a network of politically connected nonprofits controlling billions of dollars in New York real estate. Groups that become the new land barons of New York, with the financial resources and organizing power to help elect socialist candidates in cities across the country that enact the same playbook again and again. Bottom line, what Mamdani is doing across the board is outrageous, and it is unprecedented. He's not just bringing allies to City Hall. He is using the machinery of city government to institutionalize the DSA itself. Every lever that touches organizing money or property is now operated by someone whose political home is the dsa. The the machine that elected him has become the government. And New York is just the template. So DSA actively seeks out and trains organizers to identify what they call organic leaders, the natural influencers in workplaces, neighborhoods, and on campuses. And they teach organizers how to sit down with a person and draw out their pain and their fear and their grievances and then hook those emotions into a political story and a plan of action. And every crisis is an opportunity. Trump's Election Charlottesville, Gaza. ICE raids, emergency meetings, rallies, petitions and then aggressive follow up to convert attendees into dues paying members. And this chaos isn't incidental. It's the strategy. It's the fuel. And their digital strategy is insidious and terrifyingly effective. On TikTok and Instagram and YouTube they run six sales campaigns targeting young men wrapping socialist politics in the language of desire, identity and rebellion. And on Twitch and Kick. They own the gaming and streaming world where young men spend hours every single day and the message is baked into the content. The system is broken, capitalists should die, the landlord is the enemy and DSA is the answer.

Unemployment insurance is the the people who pick up your garbage.
Narrator/Host
I think the Democratic Socialists of America is a force to be reckoned with at this point. I, I, I really do believe that. Or the framing is soft. Same movement, different mask, perfectly calibrated by age and platform and grievance. But targeting students and retirees with manipulative content is one thing, but what's next is something else entirely. Because when you've exhausted the willing, you exploit the desperate. So when DSA aligned politicians control the money that keeps shelters and drop in centers and clinics running and those same spaces become hubs for voter registration and political messaging. Nobody has to say vote this way or lose your bed because the dependency does the work. These addresses become choke points. Places where homeless people go to survive, collect mail and access services. And also where political registration and outreach are concentrated. Captive audiences, controlled environments. Watch how it works. Nithya Raman is an Indian born urban planner and a proud DSA member and a Los Angeles City Council member now running for mayor of la. And her brand is compassion, Rethinking policing and reducing street homelessness. Housing first. And she also chairs the city's Council on Housing and Homelessness Committee. And she sits directly over the public money that Keeps homeless services funded. She backed a roughly $600,000 taxpayer grant at the St. Joseph center in Venice, which is a drop in facility for the homeless. Thousands of homeless voters were registered at shelters across la, including over a thousand at a skid row shelter with only 120 beds. Videos from skid row surfaced showing homeless residents saying that organizers approach them repeatedly to root them.

Say promises like housing or oh, this
Narrator/Host
is for like a new governor or something like that. So let me be direct about what that is. It's a DSA politician controlling the funding that keeps a service center open. Then that service center becomes a voter registration hub. And residents, the people with nowhere else to go, they're being pressured to vote for the person signing the checks on camera, on record. And there's evidence that many were even illegally paid small amounts of cash to vote for ramen. What's documented here? Public money captured addresses, cash for votes on video. You've got a politician farming the most vulnerable people in her city for electoral math. And the next weapon in the socialist arsenal is identity laundering. And nowhere is it more brazen than Jews for Mamdani. So on the surface, it's a grassroots Jewish uprising. Jewish volunteers and Jewish language and Jewish moral coverage from Hamdani's candidacy, engineered largely by Alicia Singham Goodwin, who's a senior New York DSA figure. She's a political director at Jews for Racial and Economic Justice. She's the niece of Neville Roy Singham. And she is not Jewish. In fact, she's a staunch anti Zionist. But somehow she helped build the Jewish campaign identity anyway. I mean, she built the voter lists and she crafted the scripts that recast Mamdani's hardline anti Israel politics as a form of Jewish justice. So let that land.
Investigative Reporter
Okay?
Narrator/Host
A non Jewish socialist operative from a family with a Shanghai based Marxist billionaire with CCP connections manufacturing a Jewish political front for the most openly anti Israel candidates in New York's political history. The goal was never to represent the Jewish community. The goal was to impersonate them and provide cover. It works as a shield. You point to Jews from Hamdani and suddenly the charge that politics are hostile to Jews look disproven. A narrow socialist faction wraps an anti Israel candidate in Jewish Branding, and then uses that branding to shut down every legitimate question about what he actually believes. It's not representation. It's fraud. And I don't know about you, but in my lifetime, I can't think of a more alarming infiltration of American politics than this one. And all I could think to myself was, who is behind this? This kind of strategizing and organizing and mobilizing. This doesn't happen by accident. This takes experience, deep commitment, and enormous amounts of money. You don't go from 6,000 members to 100,000 members in a decade by passing a hat around a community meeting. You don't sweep the mayoral races of New York and Seattle and presumably Washington, D.C. and imminently LA, without a machine behind you. You don't knock on $1.6 million, or fund dozens of aligned nonprofits, or coordinate legal defense networks and deploy multilingual canvassing armies across dozens of neighborhoods around the country. And do it all while maintaining the appearance of a scrappy grassroots movement without serious institutional infrastructure and serious money. So who's writing the checks? Who built the infrastructure? And who decided years ago that the path to destroying America ran through its city halls? The answer isn't hidden. It's just that most of us haven't been paying attention. And the people doing it were counting on that. So my team and I began following the money and the ideology upstream, past the candidates and the campaign staffers to the networks, bankrolling the entire operation. And what we found waiting on the other end was not a scrappy socialist club, but a three color alliance of Communists, Islamists and globalists that's far bigger, far better funded, and far more hostile to this country than anyone in this movement wants you to know. Red is a socialist and Marxist infrastructure, and Neville Roy Singham sits at the center of it. This is Alicia Singham's Uncle Lucas, the girl running Jews for Momdani who isn't Jewish. Remember her? Singham is a former tech billionaire who sold his company, ThoughtWorks, for roughly $785 million, moved to Shanghai and built what multiple investigations describe as a global Marxist funding network with a specific pro China tilt. So the FBI has been watching this guy since the 70s because he was involved in Maoist circles, a history that US Investigators say informs his current work to this present day. Congressional investigators say that he works closely with China's state media and propaganda apparatus to finance messaging worldwide, waging what the Chinese Communist Party officials themselves describe as a smokeless war against the West. The New York Times traced at least 275 to $278 million flowing through American nonprofits that are linked to Singham. Organizations that blend progressive advocacy with Chinese government talking points so tightly that they're relatively indistinguishable. And his money doesn't just fund messaging. It funds chaos. Investigators at the Government Accountability Institute have named Singham's network as a keynote in what researchers call Riot Inc.
Government Accountability Institute Researcher
This is not just a story about violence and chaos, as you alluded to, Mr. President. This is a money story. And at the Government Accountability Institute, my colleague and I, Peter Schweitzer and my I and our team, we follow the money and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex, Riot Inc. And we found a network of NGOs. It's not just the Soros network, the Open Society Network, it's other funding networks. The Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network. Neville Roy Singham and his network.
Narrator/Host
Foreign Cash, A protest industrial complex that has pushed over $100 million into dozens of radical organizations to batter American city streets. From the LA Anti Ice Riots of June 2025 to the Minneapolis Anti Ice Unrest of January 2026 to the Rapid Response promodoro demonstrations to coordinated actions across more than 70 U.S. cities against airstrikes on Iran to the Gaza encampments on campuses like Columbia. The same Singham funded ecosystem shows up again and again. Groups and his network have been implicated in vandalizing property, shutting down airports and bridges, clashing with law enforcement, all during these actions. And many of them spread pro CCP propaganda while operating as American tax exempt nonprofits. Congressional investigators have said that the entire operation fits a documented CCP playbook called the Strategy of Sowing Discord, a deliberate effort to inflame internal American divisions, weaken institutions, and distract the United States from competing with China on the world stage. And the scale of it is now serious enough that the DOJ has convened a federal grand jury in Manhattan and begun issuing subpoenas. And in an investigation of what prosecutors describe as a dark money scheme, funneling hundreds of millions into radical activist organizations and media outlets on American soil, Congress is moving too. The House Oversight Committee has formally asked treasury to evaluate freezing or seizing assets tied to Singham's network. But his shift to living and operating out of China has made him extremely difficult to reach, which has effectively shifted shielded him from these US Subpoenas while his money keeps flowing into American politics and protest infrastructures. But it doesn't stop with Singham. Socialists around the globe have been funneling money to the dsa. So here's another example. In Germany, every major party has its own taxpayer funded political foundation. The Christian Democrats have one, the Socialist Democrats have one, the Greens have one. Dalenka, which is the far left party in Germany, has Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung, which is named after a Marxist revolutionary. And in 2024 alone, that foundation pulled in about 71 million euros in public money from the German federal budget, part of nearly 700 million euros that Berlin handed out to all the party foundations that year. Now here's where it crosses the ocean to our shores. Rosa Luxembourg Stiftung rungs a New York City office and it's not a secret. Go to their site and they'll tell you exactly what it's for. The office exists to work with North American progressives, their words, in universities, unions, social movements and progressive institutions across the US and Canada. In other words, German taxpayers are paying for a shop in Manhattan whose mission is to cultivate the American far left. And they're not just holding book clubs. The New York office has put serious work into the Democratic Socialists of America. They published a report literally titled Socialism Reignited in America about the resurgence of US socialism and the DSA's role in it. They commissioned Socialism in the USA from a longtime DSA leader that walks readers through DSA's history, factions and strategy. They co created a global organizer training program called Organizing for Power. DSA blasted out invitations urging members to sign up for our new Organizing for Power training with Rosa Luxembourg stiftung and Jane McLevy. This is unhinged. Conservative outlets and old event flyers show co branded Democratic Socialism 101 style workshops in New York jointly hosted by RLS New York and DSA. So when people say that German taxpayers are helping staff DSA organizer pipelines, that's what they're talking about. Curriculum, trainings and propaganda tailored to exactly that milieu. And Germany is is only the beginning. Because once you zoom out you see that DSA is plugged into a global hard left infrastructure that would have been unimaginable in US politics a decade ago. Its International Committee openly courts explicitly socialist and in some cases revolutionary socialist parties abroad. Brazil's Workers Party in the far left psol, Venezuela's United Socialist Party, Bolivia's MAS and others grouped in what's called the Foro de so Paulo, a hemispheric Marxist coordination founded by the Cuban and Brazilian far left. In Chile and Argentina. DSA panels and convention materials highlight the Frente Emplio and the Frente de Izquierda y de los Trabahadores Unidad. Put simply, this is a bloc that describes itself as anti capitalist, anti imperialist and committed to a workers government. So in plain English, a Trotskyist revolutionary socialist alliance is influencing politics in America. The best summer pieces are the ones that you end up wearing on repeat. They're comfortable, they're versatile, and somehow they're right for every single occasion. Which is why I love quince.

Quince.com Jillian Since 2021, the DSA has sent delegation after delegation to Venezuela, Cuba, the People's Republic of China, meeting with regime lean toasts and coming home with glowing reports about socialism under governments that jail dissidents and crush opposition parties. We currently have an American political party whose worldview is being shaped, coached and reinforced by a web of socialist and Marxist parties and governments far beyond US borders. So the obvious question here is how on earth is that legal? US Campaign finance law claims clearly bans foreign governments from donating to American candidates, political parties or funding explicit election ads. However, it says very little about foreign governments financing political education and issue advocacy through US nonprofits. That's the gap. Now, the next color in this alliance is Islamist. It's green, hardline, pro Palestine, and centered on cair, the Council on American Islamic Relations. And CAIR brands itself as a Muslim civil rights organization. But here's their record. In the Holy Land foundation case, which was the largest terrorism financing prosecution in American history, federal prosecutors named CAIR an unindicted co conspirator, citing ties to Hamas and the Muslim brotherhood. Now, the UAE designated CAIR a terrorist organization in 2014. Texas followed in November 2025, and Florida a month later. Congress has now introduced legislation requiring the State Department to formally review CAIR for a federal terrorist designation. And CAIR's own executive director, Nahad Awad, stood at a podium after October 7 and said that the people of Gaza had the right to do what they did that day. And he was happy to see it. And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land. This is the organization that was the single largest institutional donor and mobilizer in Mamdani's mayoral campaign. CARE and its affiliated PACs, Unity Injustice Fund, Unity Lab, and CARE Action, function as a political machine, pooling Muslim community money, coordinating turnout, and deploying it behind candidates who check their boxes. Hardline, pro Palestine, anti police, and anti ice. So why would radical Islamist organizations back socialist candidates? Well, academic researchers writing in the Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence have laid it out plainly. The socialist says that capitalism is colonialism. The Islamist says Western presence is occupation. So you've got different vocabulary, but the exact same enemy. And here's the irony that nobody on the left will touch. Islam is one of the most prolific colonizing forces in human history. It began in the 7th century on the Arabian Peninsula and within 100 years had conquered perspectives Persia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, all of North Africa and Spain by the sword. Damascus fell in 635, Jerusalem in 638, Alexandria in 642. And the armies kept moving east into Central Asia, west into the Atlantic, north into the Balkans, south through sub Saharan Africa, across the Indian subcontinent and into Southeast Asia. The Ottoman Empire alone ruled three continents for six centuries, forcing conversion and erasing the cultures that it absorbed. And today, Islam is the dominant religion in 49 countries, spread overwhelmingly through conquest and forced assimilation. And this is not ancient history. In 1991, Senior Muslim Brotherhood figure Mohammad Akram Aloni wrote an internal document called an Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic goal for the group in North America. And this was found by the FBI in 2004 and later entered as evidence in that same Holy Land foundation trail. And in it, Ockram calls the Brotherhood's work in North America a civilization jihadist process, a grand jihad to eliminate and destroy Western civilization from within, carried out through a network of front organizations, including the Muslim Students association and what later became cair, building Islamic centers, advocacy groups and media outlets, and Cooperating tactically with non Muslim partners to reshape American society from the inside. And three decades later, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy laid out the proof in a 200 page report released in late 2025, a hundred year civilization. Jihad now more than halfway through its timeline, tracing how the Brotherhood aligned groups like American Muslims for Palestine and Students for Justice in Palestine seeded campus activism that fed directly into city politics. Citing Zoran Mamdani, a former SJP activist and now the mayor of New York City, has the long game bearing fruit.

Zoran Mamdani released a rap track that praised five convicted Hamas funders known as the Holy Land Five. Now he wants to run New York. Momdani says look him up. So we did. These five men were convicted of funneling over $12 million to Hamas, a U.S. designated terrorist organization responsible for the murder, rape and kidnapping of civilians, including Americans. Mamdani sent his love to convicted Hamas funders. Let that sink in.
Narrator/Host
So what began as a 15 page memo in 1991 has matured into a patient generational campaign to burrow inside universities, civil rights groups and municipal governments. Now the third color in this toxic triad is blue. The globalist liberal foundation and the NGO machine. This is the world of open society foundations, the Ford and Rockefeller empires, dark money networks like Tides and the Donor advised pass throughs that quietly route billions in tax deductible money into left wing infrastructure across America. So why do the globalists back it? Because DSA doesn't just attack capitalism, it attacks the nation state. And that's the only structure with the power to regulate global capital and resist supranational rule. Open borders, permanent amnesty, climate, emergency powers, the delegitimization of local police. It all points in one direction. A weaker, fragmented America where real authority sits with central banks, multinational funds and transnational NGOs instead of voters in Phoenix or Pittsburgh. Three different endgames, one shared appetite, a weaker America. And this isn't just an American phenomena. Okay? This same playbook is running across the entire Western world. In the UK, four independent pro Gaza candidates won parliamentary seats in 2024 by mobilizing Muslim communities that the Labour Party had taken for granted for decades. And the Sunday Telegraph's editor called it a victory for a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives. Andy Burnham, a self described socialist and frontrunner to lead labor, built his political survival by courting those same networks, calling for Britain's prevent Counterterrorism program to be scrapped. The Muslim Council of Britain sent him a thank you. Letter after. And he is now poised to become the UK's next Prime Minister. In France, hard left socialist Jean Luc Melanchon won an estimated 69% of the Muslim vote in the 2022 presidential election. And a parliamentary investigation found that members of his party had active ties to Islamist organizations. And the French even coined a term for it. It was called Islamo Gauchism, which means Islamo Leftism. In Germany, Berlin's own integration Commissioner, a Muslim woman, went public in November of 2025 alleging that Islamist actors had penetrated the Social Democratic Party through a network of NGOs monitored by German intelligence. And it was called a perfidious strategy of the Muslim brotherhood. Hiding behind NGOs, the establishment party of Europe's most powerful country infiltrated from within, exactly as the 1991 memorandum predicted. In Canada's 2025 federal election, the Muslim Vote campaign endorsed 74 candidates, almost all New Democrats, based explicitly on Gaza. The ndp, Canada's Socialist Party is now functionally dependent on organized Muslim bloc voting. Yet different flags, different language, same coalition, same playbook. And it's playing out all over the Western world. This is not a left versus right story. It is a story about whether self government survives. So if you're a Democrat who believes in free elections, in national sovereignty and the right of American citizens to govern themselves, then wake up. You need to look at your own party quick. Because the DSA is already hollowing it out from the inside and it has told you so in its own words. The end goal will be inevitable today. The working class voters who built that party with their hands, their blood, their sweat, their tears and their votes have less say in it than a DSA chapter or a Singham funded front group or a Soros backed NGO or a career affiliated pac. That's not your party anymore. It's wearing your party's name for sure. You need to stop, take a moment and write your representatives and demand that they draw the line and separate the Democratic Party from the DSA before there is nothing left to save. And if you're on the right and you think that this stays contained, blue cities and blue states, it does not watch the pipeline. The campus organizer becomes the City Commissioner, the city Commissioner becomes the state Senator, and the State senator becomes a member of Congress. And maybe they sit on the Foreign Relations Committee or the Armed Services Committee, and then what? Because this machine doesn't stop at a city line. And in case you haven't noticed, we're also starting to see pundits on the right like Tucker Carlson champions Sharia law and socialism.

Sharia law is bad, Seth. I don't know if you've heard that it's bad. It's worse than what's happening in New York, in Detroit. It's just bad. I don't know why. It's just like years of brainwashing. I just like. No, Seth. That the real danger is Sharia law. Sharia law. And you can tell when you go to a place like Abu Dhabi or Riyadh, like, oh man, I hope we don't ever wind up with a society like this with a rape rate of 0 where you leave your keys in your Lamborghini and don't ever worry about it being stolen. And you know, if people want to get wasted, they do it at home. You know what I mean? Yeah. Oh, I hope we don't wind up with that. Not going to take another lecture in my country about Islam this, Islam that. You're lying. But Christianity and it's is socialism at its core, non authoritarian, which is an
Narrator/Host
entirely separate podcast unto itself. But the point is these forces are pervasive and they mean business. So reach across the aisle, find your neighbor who votes differently than you do and find the common ground that you still share. Because the people driving this depend on your never doing that. And underneath all of this, the red, blue and green, there is one organizing principle and that is the dismantlement of American self governments. The idea that we govern ourselves is under a coordinated attack right now. And the people behind that attack are counting on that one thing, that we are too busy fighting each other to ever turn and focus our fight on them. This is not a partisan story. It is an American one. And the only way we win it is to together. So vote please. It is this simple vote like your life depends on it and your kids lives depend on it because they do. In New York, roughly 10% of the electorate put the DSA lunatic candidates that openly call for the destruction of Western civilization into power. In la, Nithya Raman edged out Spencer Pratt by a margin that could fit in a six single stadium. And every single one of these outcomes could have gone differently. And all it would have taken is more of us literally on the right and the left showing up. It's not a hypothetical. That's the math. And I'm not saying that America's great because it's perfect. It's never been perfect. America's great because it was built on the radical idea that freedom belongs to all of us. So please teach your kids to love this country. Not blindly, not because it never has or never will fail them, but because freedom means something. For centuries, people have fled tyranny and persecution to come here seeking not just safety, but the chance to build a life bigger and better than the one they were born into, to rise beyond the class or the cast of their circumstances that would have defined and imprisoned them and anywhere else. And that is what makes our country different and special and worth protecting and worth handing down with pride. Because if we don't, if we let it fall, there is nowhere else to go.

Host: Jillian Michaels
This episode dives deep into the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), their rapid rise, internal organization, international connections, funding sources, and purported strategies for reshaping U.S. politics. Using a combination of investigative reporting, expert soundbites, and a pointed narrative style, Jillian Michaels and her team argue that the DSA's agenda is driven not only by domestic activism but also by foreign funds and ideological networks, encompassing Marxist billionaires, Islamist PACs, and globalist NGOs. The central thesis: American self-government is under coordinated attack from a "three color alliance" (red/socialist, green/Islamist, blue/globalist), with implications for both major parties and the future of democracy.
"DSA is not trying to tweak the system, they're trying to destroy it and move beyond capitalism, beyond borders, beyond police and prisons, and beyond US global leadership."
(Narrator/Host, 09:19)
"Minneapolis ran that full experiment... Carjackings rose more than 500%. Murders hit historic highs."
(Narrator/Host, 07:50)
"They're not joining the Democrat Party. They're feeding off of it like a parasite... DSA members Megan Day and Micah Utrecht spelled it out in their book Bigger Than Bernie."
(Narrator/Host, 10:13)
"Having a DSA elected is nearly useless if they aren't using their legislative power... to help us actually achieve our real goals... They have to be actively organized and worked with as comrades."
(DSA Member/Activist, 11:46)
"What Mamdani did is eliminate that line entirely... He turned the campaign itself into a government agency."
(Narrator/Host, 15:40)
"Her office runs the inspections, writes the violations and triggers the legal process that can ultimately strip a landlord of their building."
(Narrator/Host, 18:23)
"Their digital strategy is insidious and terrifyingly effective... on Twitch and Kick. They own the gaming and streaming world..."
(Narrator/Host, 21:06)
"Nobody has to say vote this way or lose your bed because the dependency does the work... and there's evidence that many were even illegally paid small amounts of cash to vote for Raman."
(Narrator/Host, 25:28)
"A non Jewish socialist operative... manufacturing a Jewish political front for the most openly anti Israel candidates in New York's political history."
(Narrator/Host, 27:06)
"This is not just a story about violence and chaos... We followed the money and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex, Riot Inc."
(Government Accountability Institute Researcher, 31:19)
"CAIR and its affiliated PACs... function as a political machine, pooling Muslim community money..."
(Narrator/Host, 41:18)
"Open borders, permanent amnesty, climate, emergency powers... All points in one direction: a weaker, fragmented America..."
(Narrator/Host, 46:32)
"Yet different flags, different language, same coalition, same playbook. And it's playing out all over the Western world."
(Narrator/Host, 49:09)
On DSA’s Real Goal:
"The strategy... is to go beyond the two party system by going through it."
(Narrator/Host, 10:24, citing Megan Day & Micah Uetricht)
On Political Accountability:
"Their real boss isn't the Democrat Party or even their district. It's the organization that holds their endorsements, their volunteers, their donor network, their media muscle. Keep in line and you rise as part of the machine. Break with the line and you risk political exile. Do their bidding or else. That's not a party, it's a cult like organization. And when you join it, it's you sell your political soul."
(Narrator/Host, 12:10)
On CAIR’s Executive Director’s Comments Post-October 7:
"And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land."
(Narrator/Host, 41:57, quoting CAIR's Nahad Awad)
On International Funding Loopholes:
"US Campaign finance law... bans foreign governments from donating to American candidates... However, it says very little about foreign governments financing political education and issue advocacy through US nonprofits. That's the gap."
(Narrator/Host, 40:03)
On Self-Government:
“The idea that we govern ourselves is under a coordinated attack right now. And the people behind that attack are counting on... that we are too busy fighting each other to ever turn and focus our fight on them. This is not a partisan story. It is an American one.”
(Narrator/Host, 51:16)
You’ll finish this episode with a comprehensive, investigative perspective on the DSA, presented through the lens of national security, democracy, and cultural resilience. The host’s narrative is urgent and direct, blending reporting, quotes, and warning with a call for civic unity and vigilance.
