The NYPD Commissioner marched as Grand Marshal at the Israel Day Parade. The man who wants to be NYC's next mayor didn't show up. 🇮🇱

Zohran Mamdani — AOC's hand-picked candidate for mayor of the most Jewish city in America — just broke a tradition every serious New York politician has honored for decades. This wasn't a scheduling conflict. It was a calculation. He looked at his progressive base and decided that standing with 1.1 million Jewish New Yorkers on Fifth Avenue was a political liability.

The Democrat Party has taken Jewish voters for granted for 60 years. Mamdani just showed you what the bill looks like.

Stuart breaks it all down — the snub, the Squad takeover, and what Jewish voters in New York need to hear right now.

Monday Opening Without David

SPEAKER_00

Hey guys, what's going on? It's Monday, and you know what? David's not here. But that's okay. We're gonna take this to the next level. The NYPD commissioner of New York, the city's top cop in the largest, most complex department in the United States, laced their shoes up yesterday and proudly marched down Fifth Avenue as a grand marshal of a salute to the Australian parade. The man who wanted to be the next mayor city of New York in perpetuity, well, he didn't show up. But are you surprised that Mandami didn't show up? Since he's been elected mayor, he's lived up to what he said he was going to. That's the whole story. Everything else I'm about to tell you for the next 15 minutes is the receipt. You know? Really like copy and paste the receipt.

What The Israel Day Parade Is

SPEAKER_00

Let's build this for just a second. Because, like I said, the story's already done. Let me tell you what the salute to Israel parade actually is. Because the mainstream media is going to spend approximately zero time giving any context, allowing your hate to spew even more. The salute to Israel Parade, held every year on Fifth Avenue in New York City, is the single largest pro-Israel public event in the world, outside of Israel itself. Verified by attendants and not CNN broadcasters. Historically, hundreds of thousands of people line the streets. It's a celebration of the U.S.-Israel relationship, of Jewish identity, of the simple and powerful idea that America stands with the only democratic nation, the Jewish state in the Middle East. It has been a cornerstone of New York City's civic and political calendar for decades. And for decades, every serious politician in New York City has shown up. Mayors, governors, senators, mayoral candidates. It doesn't matter. If you are a Republican or Democrat, it didn't matter. If you had 10 other things on your schedule that Sunday, you showed up because millions, about 1.1 million Jewish residents, the largest urban population out of the state of Israel, show up because it's the right thing to do. You show up because your constituents are them. You show up because you're standing with the Jewish community of New York on Fifth Avenue on one Sunday afternoon is a minimum that a mayor of this city should do and is supposed to do. NYPD commissioner Jessica Tiss showed up. She proudly led the parade as an honorary Grand Marshal, proudly according to every account of public servants doing exactly what servants in the city are supposed to do, visibly standing unambiguously without hedging the Jewish community of New York. However, Zoran Mandami, the Nazi himself, the Democrat Socialist candidate for the future of New York, the mayor of New York, backed by Alexander Ogacias Cortez, the full progressive Nazi, machinery of the modern Democratic Party wasn't there either. Go figure.

Why A Candidate Skips The March

SPEAKER_00

He broke a tradition that serious New York politicians have honored for decades. And I want you to sit with that for a second. Because the way the story gets covered, and when it gets covered, if at all, is a scheduling issue, a conflict, a logistical matter. Maybe they he had primer engagements. Maybe he was busy that weekend. Maybe, you know, the optics weren't that his team wanted. That's how the press will frame it, because the press doesn't want to say the obvious and out the Nazi that he is. So I'll say it for you. Zoromanhami didn't skip the Israel Day Parade because of scheduling conflict. He skipped it because he made a calculation. He looked at his coalition, the progressive left, the active base, the anti-Israel wing of the DNC has been growing louder and more powerful every single election cycle. And he decided that showing up on Fifth Avenue and standing with the Jewish community was a political liability for his Nazi compatriots. That's the people he needs to win the primary. The photos that would be showing him marching along would cost him something. Because he's a Nazi and he doesn't want to lose power, the fascist fucker. That's not a scheduling conflict. That's a verdict of a Nazi. Yeah, I said it. I took a pause. That's not a scheduling conflict. That is a verdict. Now let's talk about what kind of man Zoro Montani is and what kind of movement he represents. Because he didn't stumble into this. He was built by it.

Campus Activism And Online Influence

SPEAKER_00

Mandami is a Nazi socialist democrat, kind of like Adolf Hitler was. He had endorsements in this case from Alexander Ocasious Cortez, the same AOC who spent years making excuses for anti-Israel activism on college campuses, who referred to Israeli operations and in language indistinguishable from Hamas propaganda, who sits in Congress and refused to clearly condemn Hamas terrorism on or after October 7th or before. Verified specifically AOC statement votes on Hamas condensation, right? I mean, like literally, she's like another neo-Nazi bitch. That's the machine that Zora Mandami and the machine that doesn't march in an Israeli day parade, which by the way, was singing, dancing, and singing and dancing and floats of beautiful, funny things, not burning flags, preaching death to anyone, not causing riots. You know, the machine does what it does. It marches pro-Palestinian rallies, chanting things I can't say on this podcast. Well, I can say anything. You know what they say? Death to Israel, death to the United States, death to Jews, death to Western society, death to the United States of America. It occupies universities, squads, blockades, Jewish students from entering their own classroom, which happened to be Columbia, NYU across counties, all across the country. You know, very specific incidences. It produces people like Hassan Piker, a far-left Twitch streamer, which millions of followers just this weekend said pro-Israel groups have what he called unbelievable power. And they use it as an explanation for getting barred from entering the United Kingdom. Let me be very clear about Hassan Piker, because it matters. He did not say a specific lobbying organizing lobbied for specific policy. He disagrees with it. He said pro-Israel groups have unbelievable power and are using it to control whether he can get into countries. That's not a policy argument. That's an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory with a hundred-year paper trail of programs and mass graves behind it. And he said it to millions of followers. And the progressive left said absolutely nothing. That's the water Zora Mandami swims in because he's a Nazi. And here's the hypocrisy. Here's

Democrats And The Jewish Voting Bloc

SPEAKER_00

the party that should make every fair-minded person's blood boil. The Democratic Party has spent 60 years telling Jewish Americans we're your home. 60 years of Jewish voters among the most reliable Democratic voting bloc in the United States. Showing up for Democrats in elections, writing checks for Democratic campaigns, staffing Democrat offices, committees, campaigns at every level. The Democratic Party took Jewish Americans for granted so completely and for so long they stopped even pretending to earn a relationship from them. And by the way, Zionism and Judaism go hand in hand. And now, and now the party of the progressive base has been taken over by a movement of boycott Israel that cheers Jewish businesses getting vandalized on the upper west side that generates Zoran Mandami and sends them out on their stands bare for more morale. Jewish city in America. He can't even walk down Fifth Avenue for two minutes, 20 minutes, or two hours. But he'll ask you for his donation. He'll knock on your door in the primary. He'll smile for the cameras in your neighborhood. He just won't show up when it counts. Unless it's a Nazi propaganda rally. And his DNC speaking just released 192 pages on why the Democrats lost confidence of America. Yep. The postmortem is out. Cost $20 million. 192 pages, and I bet every dollar that those 192 pages don't grapple the honesty, the fact that the progressive wing of the party has made Jewish Americans feel politically homeless for the first time in modern American history. Because if they put that document, they'd have to name the squad. And they don't want to do that because the squad is the party now. And Mandami's proof. You have been a loyal to the Democrat Party your entire life. You voted for them, donated to them, organized for them. And man, you're about to nominate and have nominated the mayor of your city. You couldn't find two hours on a Sunday to walk down Fifth Avenue. At what point do you stop calling that a scheduling conflict and start calling it what it is? It's a verdict. A verdict from a pro-Nazi mayor of the largest city in America.

Fear And Harassment In Daily Life

SPEAKER_00

I want to talk about what this means on the ground. Not in a political theory, not in a coalition math, in real life, in real New York 2026. There are a few Jewish families in Brooklyn and Queens and Manhattan and the Upper West Side and Crown Heights and Forest Hills and Riverdale section of the Bronx, families who have lived this city for generations, who built the city, who love the city, and are watching what's happening to them. You know what? They're scared. Some of them are. Jewish students have been harassed on subway platforms, synagogues, have had their property vandalized. The word Jew has been used as a slur in public places, in broad daylight, in the most diverse city in the world, it claims. And the progressive left movement, the Nazi Party that controls the Democratic Party in New York, has offered those families a collective shrug, occasionally a ta-ta, and then gone right back to the platform. The people who make that environment possible. And now the man who is the mayor won't walk, won't march in this parade, in their parade, at this time, or you know what? In any time, past, present, or future. I'll say something that some people in the conservative media are afraid to say plainly. This isn't just Zoran Mandani. He's a symptom, he's a disease, he's the ideological capture of the American left Nazi party, strained of anti-Israel, anti-Western, anti-radic American radicalism that's fundamentally incompatible with Jewish life in the American way in this country. The squad didn't start it. Campus radicalism didn't start it. But together, over the course of a decade, they've normalized it. They've made it socially unacceptable to question whether Jewish people deserve safety, security, and political representation in their own communities.

Moral Clarity Versus Careful Statements

SPEAKER_00

And the NYPD commissioner, a public service, a cop, not even a politician, proudly showed up for moral clarity on Fifth Avenue yesterday. Because the man whose job it was to be there, the mayor of New York, is just a Nazi and refused. Jessica Tisch didn't hold a press conference either. She didn't issue a statement about her deep commitment to the Jewish community that she said over and over and over again. With careful, lawyered language, she put on her dress uniform and walked as a grand marshal and was present. That's it. The whole thing was just show the fuck up. He didn't. And the Jewish voters in New York City, Jewish voters across America who are watching this story, if the news actually puts it up there, need to ask themselves a question that I think a lot of them are already starting to ask in private, but aren't saying it out loud yet. If they won't show up for you at a parade, what makes you think they'll show up when it matters? Why do you think the largest exodus of these democratic cities is to Republican cities? Where I've openly, on the record, said they will always stand with Israel. You know, the NYPD commissioner in New York March down 5th and saluted the Israeli parade. She was proud to be there. The man who was her boss is nowhere to be found. In politics, showing up is the job.

Show Up In November Closing

SPEAKER_00

He didn't show up. He didn't care to show up. Remember that in November. Because November's around the corner, just a few short months away. Remember that. And again, thank you for tuning in. Thank you. Pay attention. David and I have been ranting for I don't know, nearly seven years. All kinds of topics, not just about Israel, not just about the war in Russia that has caused death and carnage, that has fallen from any media. Not from Iran bombing and blowing up its neighbors, its Muslim neighbors. It's just what's going on in America today. My name's Stuart Brisgale. This is the Rant Network. And once again, thank you for tuning in.
