Morris Katz is not only a political strategist credited with helping engineer Zohran Mamdani’s rise in New York politics and who is now reportedly involved with Graham Platner’s campaign, but also a children’s book author.

At only 27 years old, BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler isn’t surprised that Katz is the “kingmaker” of “communist candidates like Zohran Mamdani and Graham Platner.”

But what is surprising about Katz is a children’s book he authored titled “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Puberty ― and Shouldn’t Be Googling: For Curious Boys.”

“This book is targeted, by the way, at young boys aged 10 and up. Think of a 10-year-old child, a 10-year-old boy. This is who this book is targeted to,” Wheeler says, before homing in on page 17 of the book.

Katz used fruit and animals to symbolize different stages of puberty but added a note on page 17 that reads: “At first, we were going to use images of my penis to get this point across but the publisher said it was inappropriate so here we are, with some fruit and animal metaphors.”

“This is not normal. This is disgusting, disturbing degeneracy, and it gets even worse than that,” Wheeler says, before pointing out a chapter in Katz’s book titled “Sexual Feelings.”

“It can feel embarrassing if your crush is a friend or someone a lot older than you,” Katz wrote.

“You could find yourself with a crush on someone who’s not really thinking sexual thoughts yet,” he continued, calling it “perfectly normal.”

“What on earth is he writing? Normalizing to children not only sexual relationships between young people and significantly older people — which, if you’re writing this to a 10-year-old, would be a predator relationship, a relationship with a sexual predator, a crime,” Wheeler comments.

“He’s also normalizing being attracted to, quote, ‘someone who’s not really thinking sexual thoughts yet.’ What is that?” she asks.

“That would be a child. A crush on a child, a sexual crush on a child, is not normal. And yet, according to Morris Katz in his book, he says, ‘All perfectly normal,’” she adds.

Katz even wrote a chapter on “sexuality,” where he made sure children know that they can like “girls, boys, both, or neither.”

“That is called grooming. Grooming children into certain sexual identities by introducing the concept to them. Grooming children to be gay by telling them that it is a perfectly normal feeling to have deviant sexual feelings,” Wheeler says.

Katz goes on to encourage transitioning, writing, “The sexual organs you are assigned at birth determine your gender at birth. If you are born with a penis, you are considered a boy, and if you’re born with a vagina, you’re considered a girl.”

“But not everybody feels at home in their body or identifies with the gender they are assigned at birth. Some people don’t identify as a boy or a girl,” he added, urging children to talk to a parent, doctor, or therapist if they’re feeling confused.

“Ten-year-old boys. And Politico reports he sold hundreds of thousands of copies,” Wheeler comments. “I hope that’s not true because it means that children all across our country would be subject to this content.”

Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida accused a top Code Pink organizer of berating her before smacking her, and the entire exchange is on video.

Luna was walking from Congress after questioning Secretary of State Marco Rubio when Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin peppered her with questions.

‘These are not “allegations.” It happened. My staff was there when it happened and wrote statements.’

TMZ obtained the video from the anti-war organization and published it online.

“Marco Rubio has been sanctioning the Cuban people, which is hurting them by the billions!” Benjamin said to Luna.

“You just touched me! You’re going to walk away right now, or else I’m going to call Capitol Police!” Luna said to Benjamin.

“OK, I will walk away. Bye-bye!” she responded.

Luna posted on social media that she would be filing charges against Benjamin.

“After I questioned Secretary Rubio on Code Pink and their ties to the CCP, their organization followed me out, berated me, and then their head person here in DC smacked me. I will be filing charges,” she posted.

“Btw these are not ‘allegations.’ It happened. My staff was there when it happened and wrote statements for LEO,” she added.

Benjamin posted about the incident and accused Luna of lying.

“Today, a congresswoman lied to have me detained by Capitol Police. Why? To try to silence our work against U.S. wars in the Middle East and sanctions on Cuba,” she wrote on social media.

Benjamin admitted that she “tapped” Luna with her hand but claimed Luna accused her of assault.

“Instead of defending these wildly unpopular policies, members of Congress target the activists working to stop them,” she added. “Thankfully, I was released without charges. No amount of intimidation will change that the majority of people in the U.S. want to stop U.S. wars and aggression. We won’t be silenced.”

The Code Pink organization did not immediately respond to Blaze News’ request for comment.

The U.S. House of Representatives successfully passed a rebuke against the president’s U.S.-Israeli joint strikes on Iran on Wednesday.

Democrats in the House narrowly passed the resolution by a vote of 215 to 208, with four Republicans joining their political opponents.

‘I told Iran, “It’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You’ve been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!”’

A White House official expressed to ABC News the view that the resolution is unconstitutional.

“President Trump will continue to protect our national security using his constitutional authority as commander in chief while being transparent with Congress,” the official said.

The official added that the resolution is unlikely to pass in the Senate, but even if it were to pass, it would have “no force or effect.”

The four Republicans who voted with Democrats were Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania, Tom Barrett of Michigan, and Warren Davidson of Ohio.

The Senate is working on a separate version that would force the president to end the war, but even if the Senate passed it and got approval from the House, Trump could easily veto it.

The president has been trying to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Iran, but the regime’s nuclear program and control of the Strait of Hormuz have been sticking points between the two nations.

Also on Wednesday, Iran’s foreign ministry defended the regime’s attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait by accusing the Middle Eastern countries of allowing the U.S. to launch attacks from bases within their borders.

“Any hostile act will be met with an immediate, decisive response. What sanctions and war failed to achieve won’t be won with more war,” Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana told reporters the wartime resolution was “dangerous” and “untimely.”

Trump berated Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Axios, for threatening the peace negotiations by attacking Lebanon.

“You’re f**king crazy. You’d be in prison if it weren’t for me. I’m saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this,” the president said, according to a summary by one of the officials.

On Tuesday, the president posted an update on negotiations on Truth Social that denied some media reports claiming talks between the nations had ended.

“The conversations between us have been going on continuously, including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today,” Trump posted.

“Where they lead, one never knows, but as I told Iran, ‘It’s time, one way or another, for you to make a Deal. You’ve been doing this for 47 years, and it cannot be allowed to go on any longer!'” he added.

As fears over the impending AI takeover continue to mount, some politicians are proposing solutions. Earlier this week, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) published an opinion piece in the New York Times in which he announced a bill called the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act.

In short, Sanders argued that big AI companies got rich by using everyone’s data, writings, and ideas without permission or compensation. His bill proposes that the government take 50% ownership of the biggest AI companies — including voting shares and board seats — and place them into a public sovereign wealth fund that would supposedly benefit all Americans.

Glenn Beck believes this might be Sanders’ worst idea to date.

“For the love of little baby Jesus, hear me!” he pleads. “Do not allow our government to get deeper in bed with these AI companies.”

While Glenn agrees with Sanders that AI developers “have taken and built this entire system on your back,” government involvement will only further corrupt an already depraved system.

He explains that for years, AI developers have been using Google data to “map” human brains to learn how to effectively “manipulate” us. In other words, they’re learning how to bring about “the death of free will.”

Couple this astonishing power with the government’s “evil schemes,” and you’ve got a dystopia that would shock even Orwell.

To illustrate the danger of public-private partnerships, Glenn recounts how during the COVID-19 pandemic, the government made secret agreements with companies like Pfizer to receive royalty payments for every vaccine sold.

“Now you want to give Bernie Sanders 50% of these AI companies, which would give [the government] a seat at the table? … Not on your life,” declares Glenn.

“That is unimaginable power that you’d be giving to the United States government.”

Executive producer for “The Glenn Beck Program” Ricky Ratliff-Fellman notes the hypocrisy of Sanders’ sudden desire to work with AI developers. “It’s interesting that Bernie Sanders, who has historically been very skeptical … of Big Tech, is suddenly finding a way to get into bed with them,” she remarks.

Glenn believes the unprecedented power such a union would create is just too tempting even for Big Tech skeptics.

“Can you imagine how far in the rear-view mirror we would be if we had politicians on the board of directors of these tech companies, where [they] had a 50% vote and voice?” he asks.

“We will be the Soviet Union making the ZiL, the worst car ever made, overnight.”
