Erin Molan takes on another wild day in American politics — from Democrats blaming voters after election defeat, to AOC’s deleted video, Zohran Mamdani’s response to the controversy surrounding his wife’s proposed NYPD protection, and the latest insanity surrounding the WNBA.

After Francesca Hong’s primary defeat, Erin has a simple message for politicians who blame racism and sexism instead of confronting why voters rejected them: stop making excuses.

Then, AOC apparently thought deleting a controversial Instagram video would make it disappear. Unfortunately for her, the internet remembers.

Erin also reacts to the controversy involving New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s wife and reports surrounding NYPD protection for planned travel to Lebanon and Syria — plus Mamdani’s explanation for what happened.

Also in this episode: Hasan Piker, the Democratic Party’s increasingly radical voices, WNBA coaches under pressure, Nancy Pelosi suddenly praising AOC, and why Erin believes America’s political left has a serious accountability problem.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Everybody's watched.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, and good night. Welcome
to the Aaron mullencho Great to have your company. Now,
there's a lot to enjoy when these radical extremist socialist
communist types miss out on well winning elections. It's the
way for me in which they and their cheerleaders, of course,

(00:30):
try to explain why, how they justify it. Francesca Holk,
who was narrowly defeated in the Minnesota governatorial primary, for example,
have this to say.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
And let's just be blunt. What is it about you,
abill I'll say it, Mom, Dannie, even though you are
crushing in the polls, that makes you an anathema to
the current Democratic leadership and its doners.

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Well, first of all, look at what happened when you're
out here parading Liz Chain during a campaign. And of
course you know mayor, Mom, Danny and doctor sayaders and
I just all happened to be people of color.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Oh not.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
They thought this about Mandela too, And the electability argument
is so tired, and it's but I know that the
expectations are different for us.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Okay, can we just stop it please? America had a
black president come on Francesca. You sucked your ideas, sucked
your hatred of America shone through and your past beliefs
they came back to haunt you to extreme for even
the leftist mob, and that is saying something, stop with

(01:51):
the excuses. They always do this. Kamala Harris was exactly
the same. Her and her supporters. They said America was
ra racist and sexist and that's why she didn't beat Trump. No,
she was just an appallingly bad candidate. She was dangerous,
she was deluded, and I'm sorry, I don't like saying

(02:13):
this about people, but she was dumb and still is.
This whole race baiting crap is just that it's crap.
It's cheap, and it's just the most obvious way that
you kind of try and escape actually having to take
accountability for your failures. And by the way, I mean

(02:40):
speaking of race, the Democrats unofficial spokesperson, the one that
none of them can find it in their hearts to
publicly condemn Hassan Piker, you know, the old made America
deserved nine to eleven of that, you know, really impressive belief.
He doesn't just hate America and white Westerners, he hates

(03:04):
black people too. By the way, watch.

Speaker 3 (03:09):
What fuck would black people care about? Oh? Black people
care about this? Black people care about that?

Speaker 2 (03:13):
Like, shut the fuck up, that's not how politics works.
Oh well, hassan, how dare you like it or not
black people care about this issue.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
It's like, it's such a fucking stupid stance.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
See, there is absolutely nothing progressive about him. Nothing zero,
It doesn't matter what more comes out every day, we
see something else. He wants his siblings to come in
and rape American women. I mean, like, what more do
they need to see and hear from him to determine

(03:45):
that maybe he's not welcome in their big tent? Like
who left is ready to fight for the Democratic Party
and say, not on my watch? I know you've got
fetter men. That's great? Who else? Like, there's nothing worse
he can say or do. It should have been unforgivable

(04:08):
from word go, from the second he added his appallingly
offensive attempts to justify nine to eleven. But no, of
course they're so inclusive. Oh and nothing quite screams inclusivity
and kindness, ladies and gentlemen, then telling people to go
to hell. The WNBA coaches are capitulating at a rate

(04:34):
of knots because well, guys, it's hard. They're under so
much pressure. It's so hard to define a woman. And
also like, why are you guys so angry that I
defended one who assaulted my player and then claimed it
was white privilege. Guys, why are you so angry? Let
me hit back.

Speaker 4 (04:52):
Watch the hate, the fear mongering, the divisiveness, the stuff
that's trying to hijack our league will not win. It
won't win. We are united, we are connected, We will
not be divided. Every day, these women put their on

(05:16):
the line every day. When they go low, we go high.
Love will win, Grace will win, Humility will win, and
kindness will win. I stand by them. I will always
stand by them. Everybody else can go to hell.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Just god, hey guys, please, Kindness will win. Kindness will win.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
God all.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
Aac tried to delete an Instagram video where she and
Lasha's on Someone's here refers to us a loser. But sorry, AOC,
it's too late because everything on the Internet, even if
it's only up for one second, and we all know

(06:09):
this firsthand, yes, is captured.

Speaker 5 (06:12):
Go by a loser, I mean someone who doesn't respect women,
someone who doesn't respect you, someone who doesn't treat you well,
someone that doesn't support your growth as a human being.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
I mean, who knows who she's talking about. Some are
saying her ex fiancee because they've now broken up. But regardless,
her judgment sucks, like it really does. I mean, so
does everything she says basically, But you gotta question her judgment.
For all those who are saying, she's, you know, the

(06:48):
candidate for twenty twenty eight for the Democrat Party and
she's the future and she's amazing and she's so smart
and beautiful and YadA YadA, you know, I mean Nancy Pelosi.
I'm not saying her judgment is much chop, but why
is she suddenly like I mean, she's done some things

(07:08):
behind the scenes to like cut AOC down, but now
she's like singing her praises and sucking up big time. Watch.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
I think that she has been so operational and I'm
just wonderful.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
I know it's a good joy to work with her,
and I think most members think that.

Speaker 6 (07:25):
And certainly, and by the way, there's no higher praise
in the Nancy Pelosi Dictionary or any issues for that matter,
that operational.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
He's operational.

Speaker 4 (07:34):
That it's high praise form anty Pelosi.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Believe you meet operationally brilliant, impressive, Like really really, is
this like an example of her operating Pelosi.

Speaker 7 (07:52):
Watch offer and to all of you and Congress must
start with you would and should the US actually commit
US troops to defend Taiwan if China were to move?
You know, I think that.

Speaker 5 (08:09):
This is such.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
A you know, I think that this is a.

Speaker 5 (08:18):
Today Junior, This is of course a very long standing.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
Now speaking of foreign affairs, Mom Danny, you know, you know,
Mum Danny. Yeah, like that mayor of New York City
who should be focused on roads rates and rubbish, roads
rates and rubbish, roads rates and rubbish. He of course
is well basically all about Israel. Net Yahoo, do you hatred? Israel? Yahoo?

(08:51):
Do you hatred? Doesn't have quite the same alliteration. I
really prefer roads rates and rubbish. Well, his wife, you know,
the one who celebrates terrorists killing innocent teenagers, like like, well,
she wanted NYPD protection to travel to Lebanon and Syria.

(09:15):
Sorry what oh no, no, no, the misses, that was
just a misunderstanding.

Speaker 6 (09:21):
Go and now mom Donnie is getting humiliated by the NYPD.
He reportedly said his wife would have taxpayer funded police
protection when she traveled to Syria and Lebanon to visit family,
but the NYPD said no, given that both countries are
on the State Department's Level four do not travel list.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
I'm not going to have my members school over day.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
What am I going to do?

Speaker 6 (09:45):
Gear him up six detectives with swat GIA and run
over to Syria.

Speaker 3 (09:48):
Yeah, that's not what we're going to do here.

Speaker 7 (09:51):
God, I love him, all right?

Speaker 6 (09:53):
Well, Mom, Donnie, he got the message.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
There was a miscommunication.

Speaker 5 (09:56):
She hasn't yet taken this trip, and when she takes
this trip it will without any MVID detailing.

Speaker 2 (10:02):
I mean, it clearly wasn't just a misunderstanding. But can
I just make the point, and I mean, I'd love
to say it directly to her. You would be safer
in a terrorist hotspots than almost anywhere else in the world.
Like you would be their hero. They would adore you,

(10:27):
they would worship the ground you walk on, they would
kiss your feet, they would lift you up, they would
be the wind beneath your wings. They're not going to
pose a threat to you. You are a god to them.
You are the wife of the mayor of the most

(10:48):
important city in America, and you liked the videos celebrating
October seven. Honey, you don't need protection. You might need
it from the massive fans who try to get selfies
with you. I mean, I don't know if that's the
thing for terrorists, but nice some of them are into that,

(11:10):
I guess. But like, that's why you might need security,
because the hordes of your fans you are going to
the hotspots of your people don't need a protection from
the NYPD Blue. I mean, they're the same people like
that family that were booing your husband up on stage.
It was just a misunderstanding.

Speaker 1 (11:31):
No, it wasn't.

Speaker 2 (11:34):
She's actually worse than him, by the way, she is
worse than mom Danny, and that ladies and gentlemen is
saying something love you all, see you next time.

Speaker 4 (11:46):
Bye.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
This is the in law the show
