New York City

The celebration in New York was not just political. It was spiritual. As progressive activists, socialist leaders, and Islamic radicals united behind Zoran Mamdani, the world saw an alliance that defies logic but fulfills prophecy. Islam is incompatible with the LGBTQ movement, yet both locked arms in a common cause. The contradiction reveals the deeper battle Daniel Cohen exposes on The Daniel Cohen Show on Real Life Network (RLN): the war is not merely political. It is about biblical truth, deception, and the erosion of America’s moral foundation.

A Dark Alliance: From Politics to Spiritual Warfare

Cohen describes Mamdani’s rise as more than a political victory. It is the merging of ideologies that stand against both Israel and the gospel. Islamists, socialists, and progressives are uniting under a banner of moral confusion. “This isn’t rebellion or empowerment,” Cohen says. “It’s deception.”

He recalls his mother’s journey from Haifa, Israel, to the United States, weeping at the sight of the Statue of Liberty. That moment symbolized hope, gratitude, and faith in God’s providence. That same statue, Cohen warns, now stands before a generation celebrating oppression in the name of freedom. “In their version,” he says, “Lady Liberty’s face would be covered, her freedom silenced.”

This strange alliance of Marxism and Islamism—a “Red-Green Alliance”—has become a spiritual warfare front line. From the streets of New York City to college campuses across America, the same deception spreads: anti-Israel propaganda, antisemitism, and hatred cloaked as justice.

Truth Under Attack: From New York to Israel

Cohen highlights what he calls “a coordinated movement against biblical worldview and Israel’s covenant promises.” Mamdani’s supporters include those who defend Hamas, deny Zionism, and excuse jihad under the banner of liberation. It is the same spirit that fuels unrest on college campuses and influences the progressive left, mainstream media, and even parts of the conservative movement.

He quotes Scripture, reminding viewers that “God is on the throne” and that “nothing happens outside of His purview.” The chaos in America’s streets, midterm elections, and social divisions mirror a deeper blindness, one that refuses to call evil what it is.

Cohen points to Pastor Jack Hibbs, founder of Real Life Network, and Pastor Tom Hughes, who stood at the Nova music festival memorial near Gaza. Their messages echo the biblical truth that God’s promises to Israel are irrevocable. Nations may rage, but His covenant stands.

The Great Deception and the Call to Discernment

While radicals chant for Sharia law and progressives cheer socialism, Cohen calls believers to recognize what is truly happening: a spiritual war disguised as politics. “When Marx meets Muhammad, freedom dies twice,” he warns. The problem is not only ideological but theological. Humanity keeps trying to build a utopia without God, and the result is always tyranny.

He also warns conservatives not to trade discernment for celebrity influence. Voices like Tucker Carlson and others in the GOP may speak truth at times but can also minimize real evil, like antisemitism or persecution of Christians in Africa and the Middle East. “We must stand for truth even when it costs something,” Cohen says.

He quotes 2 Chronicles 16:9: “The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” The real question is not who wins elections but who will stand for truth when compromise is easier.

The Hope of the Gospel

The world is spiraling in confusion because it has rejected the Creator. But there is hope, not in politics or protest, but in the cross of Jesus Christ. Humanity’s deepest problem is not cultural decay or global conflict. It is sin. And the only remedy is redemption.

Through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ conquered sin, defeated death, and offers forgiveness to all who repent and believe. True freedom does not come from Trump, Biden, or any human government. It comes from the Savior who said, “If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”

Daniel Cohen ends his broadcast the same way he lives: calling believers to stand with Israel, defend truth, love courageously, and live ready for Christ’s return.

‍Cultural Chaos from City Hall to the Locker Room

Mamdani never hid his agenda. He promised rent freezes, city-owned grocery stores, free health care for everyone, and the power for the city to seize private buildings from “bad landlords.” Daniel calls it what it is: Marxism—wrapped in compassion, funded by taxpayers far beyond New York.

At the same time, America is approving madness in its most vulnerable spaces. Cohen revisits the Gold’s Gym story of Tish Hyman, a black lesbian woman who was naked in the women’s locker room when a biological man walked in claiming to be a woman. When she objected, she was removed from the gym. He stayed.

The “most oppressed” in our culture are no longer the women who feel unsafe. They are the men who claim to be women and demand access to female spaces—even after a violent past. That is not compassion. It is confusion. Scripture says, “God is not a God of confusion but of peace” (1 Corinthians 14:33).

This same spirit of confusion shows up on the political right. Daniel confronts influential conservatives who platform open antisemites like Nick Fuentes without pushback. When Tucker Carlson gives a soft interview to a Holocaust denier and tells critics to “buzz off,” that is not courage—it is compromise.

The irony is painful. Some voices who claim to defend Christian values mock concern about real persecution. Ted Cruz highlights Christians slaughtered in Nigeria and Sudan, and Tucker calls it “weird.” Yet believers are being burned in churches, beheaded, and hunted for their faith. If we cannot call evil what it is, the problem is not our enemies—it’s our lack of discernment.

Money, Power, and the Battle for Our Hearts

The moral breakdown runs from City Hall to Capitol Hill. President Trump proposes sending Affordable Care Act subsidies directly to citizens instead of bloated insurance companies. Chuck Schumer would rather protect corporate profits than reopen government.

Then there is Nancy Pelosi. She entered Washington as a public servant and leaves with an estimated net worth in the hundreds of millions. Her stock portfolio beat top hedge funds and even Warren Buffett’s returns. When asked about insider trading, she dodged with nervous smiles.

Meanwhile, mainstream media runs tearful stories about people on government aid unable to afford eyebrow appointments. Daniel’s point is not cruelty—it is responsibility. Benefits meant to feed families were never designed to fund luxuries.

"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." (2 Thessalonians 3:10)

Yet glimpses of sanity remain. Tennessee removed pride flags from public schools so classrooms can focus on education, not activism. Italy proposed banning face-covering Islamic garments in public, arguing that religious freedom should not create parallel societies. These are imperfect steps—but at least they recognize a truth: no nation survives when it refuses to say no to destructive ideologies.

A Biblical Response to a World on Fire

From Mamdani’s victory party to transgender men in women’s locker rooms to antisemitism and the persecution of Christians, Daniel Cohen returns to one truth: this is not political chaos—it is spiritual war.

The answer is not despair. It is not loyalty to pundits or politicians. The answer is returning to the Word of God. Genesis 1:27 tells us that God created humanity male and female. Romans 11 reminds us that God’s covenant with Israel stands. Ephesians 6 declares that our real enemies are not flesh and blood but spiritual powers of darkness.

So what should Christians do?

Wake up spiritually. Read Scripture so you can recognize lies from both left and right.
Refuse cowardice. When you see antisemitism or the abuse of the vulnerable, speak truth in love.
Live ready. Jesus is coming again—not to rule from New York or Brussels but from Jerusalem.

History is not falling apart. It is falling into place under His authority. Stay grounded in Scripture, stand with truth, and let your hope rest in Christ—not in the chaos of the world.
