   We have politicians aspiring to lead the nation who actually want to   
   destroy it. This sickness took off with Barack Obama, a Marxist who hates   
   the United States. For eight years, I watched his concentrated assault on   
   our values. Obama presided over the first attempt by a sitting president   
   to take America down. As a result of his destructive influence, our   
   country is not the same one Obama took over in 2009.   
      
   “He pledged to ‘fundamentally transform America,’” wrote WorldNetDaily   
   editor Joseph Farah, “and he has done his level best to destroy it through   
   fanning flames of hatred of all it stands for.” The worst part is how so   
   many Americans were fooled into thinking that Obama’s version of   
   transformation would improve their lives.   
      
   Showing his contempt for the Constitution, Obama did everything he could   
   to expand the power of government at the expense of individual liberty.   
   His positions in case after case enabled the woke revolution, stoked the   
   fires of racial discord, made lawlessness acceptable, and borrowed   
   Stalin’s practice of exploiting the powers of government against his   
   political opponents. He attempted to move the country from meritocracy to   
   an arbitrary system of race-based tests for “fairness” and social   
   justice,” and he tried to invalidate the American Dream (“If you’ve got a   
   business—you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”)   
      
   With his disdain for private property (other people’s, not his), Obama   
   sought the redistribution of income and a transition from capitalism to   
   socialism. He argued that the way to end poverty is to take wealth away   
   from the rich. If this sounds familiar, it is because New York City is   
   facing the same demon today in the form of Zohran Mamdani, a so-called   
   “democratic socialist” who is running for mayor of the most important city   
   in the country.   
      
   Mamdani is the ideological heir of Obama. “He is a hard-core Islamist   
   communist,” says Mark Levin. Mamdani and his party, the Democratic   
   Socialists of America, support the overthrow of the United States   
   government and our capitalist system. “This is the Marxist/Islamist   
   party,” says Levin. “They are the enemy within. We need to oppose them.”   
      
   Mamdani has called for defunding the police, a $30 minimum wage,   
   substantial tax increases on corporations, free bus service, abolishment   
   of prisons, universal child care, city-run grocery stores, a freeze on   
   rent increases, and ending mandatory jail time for many crimes. “It's just   
   so stupid, those ideas,” said John Stossel. “It’s not like this hasn’t   
   been tried. We’ve seen the failures.”   
      
   “Mr. Mamdani is running on an agenda uniquely unsuited to the city’s   
   challenges,” wrote the New York Times editorial board. “He favors rent   
   freezes that could restrict housing supply and make it harder for younger   
   New Yorkers and new arrivals to afford housing.” The board added that 33-   
   year-old Mamdani brings less relevant experience to the race than any   
   mayoral candidate in New York City history. “He has never run a government   
   department or private organization of any size. As a state legislator, he   
   has struggled to execute his own agenda.”   
      
   Real estate experts predict a "mass exodus" if Mamdani is elected, warning   
   that many New York companies will choose to relocate. "His policies would   
   be disastrous for NYC,” said hedge fund manager Bill Ackman. “Socialism   
   has no place in the economic capital of our country. The ability for NYC   
   to offer services for the poor and needy, let alone the average New   
   Yorker, is entirely dependent on NYC being a business-friendly environment   
   and a place where wealthy residents are willing to spend 183 days and   
   assume the associated tax burden. Unfortunately,” Ackman says, “both have   
   already started making arrangements for the exits."   
      
   In the city that has the most Jewish residents outside of Tel Aviv,   
   Mamdani is openly anti-Semitic. He has refused to disavow the phrase   
   “globalize the intifada,” a slogan that is a call to violence against   
   Jews. Mamdani is truly the candidate from hell. “It appears that NYC is   
   electing to commit suicide by mayor,” said Jim Bianco, president of Bianco   
   Research.   
      
   “There are movements afoot that seek to destroy you and your job and your   
   lifestyle and your faith,” said Mark Levin about Mandani and the   
   democratic socialists. “You won’t recognize your country if any of them   
   succeed.” Despite the warning signs, polls are pointing to a decisive   
   Mamdani victory in November. Good luck to the Big Apple.
