Episode notes
Foreign Influence On NYC Mayoral Race
- Foreign actors including Qatar, Iran, and CCP-linked groups are actively promoting and funding Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral campaign.
- Peter Schweizer warns this creates a globalized mayoral race with national security implications beyond local politics.
Policy Alignment Raises Security Concerns
- Mamdani and his family's public positions align with Qatari foreign policy, often taking anti-Israel and apologetic stances on Islamist violence.
- Schweizer cites past Qatari protection of terrorists to underscore the security risk of that alignment.
Chinese Actors Support The Campaign Too
- The CCP and China-linked actors have also promoted Mamdani, framing his campaign as a positive development for their view of U.S. politics.
- Schweizer highlights Roy Singham and the People's Forum as nodes connecting CCP-affiliated influence to Mamdani support.
